Chapter 172: It's too disappointing for me

In Xiyang County, the headquarters of the 79th Wing of the 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Captain Moriki Ichiro was standing in front of the radio, his brows furrowed tightly.

He had already sent three telegrams directly to Takano Shuichi to inquire about the situation, but at this time he did not receive a single call back from Takano Shuichi, which made Moriki Ichiro worried.

Sun Weiguo's name is very clear to him, and the commander of the Chinese unit that almost wiped out the friendly 80th Wing is this Sun Weiguo.

Even though the arrogant Moriki Ichiro has never taken the Chinese troops seriously, but for this Sun Weiguo, Moriki Ichiro is jealous.

Even though Takano Shuichi is now commanding nearly 3,000 Japanese puppet army troops with mixed arms such as infantry, cavalry, artillery, and armor, he feels that there is no chance of victory in the battle against Sun Weiguo's troops.

Not to mention that there are puppet army troops in Takano Shuichi's troops, even if it is a complete Japanese army wing to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, Moriki Ichiro is not sure of victory.

"Wing Commander, Brigade Headquarters and Division Headquarters respectively called to inquire about the situation of the garrison troops in Pingding County, and they used stern words and demanded that we report the situation."

The radio "tick-tock" sounded, and the communications soldier immediately transcribed the two telegrams he had just received, and he immediately stood up and reported to the wing commander beside him.

After taking the two telegrams and looking at them, Moriki Ichichiro's brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but show a very complicated expression on his face.

The telegram sent by the brigade headquarters and the division headquarters was almost about to scold their mother, but they never received a call back from Shuichi Takano, and they were very anxious.

Unable to get in touch, Yoshio Kamitsuki of the 40th Brigade Headquarters and Kawagishi Bunzaburo of the 20th Division took out their anger on Ichiro Moriki.

After all, no matter what, Moriki Ichiro is the direct leader of Shuichi Takano, and he is responsible for whatever Shuichi Takano does.

"Yagayalu, Shuichi Takano simply disappointed me." Moriki Ichiro held back his anger as he slapped the message on the table and said in an unhappy tone.

At this time, the radio rang again, and the signal corps immediately began to receive messages.

After a while, the communications soldier transcribed the telegram he received, handed it to Moriki Ichiro beside him, and specially reminded him that it was a message from Hideichi Takano.

Shuichi Takano fought against Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment this time, he wanted to make his own achievements, and he felt that even if he couldn't completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, he could inflict heavy losses on them.

But in the end, he failed, and he was defeated very badly, and the Japanese puppet army in Pingding County suffered heavy losses, which gave Takano Shuichi's self-confidence a big blow.

After vomiting blood and falling unconscious, Hideichi Takano was rushed to an armored vehicle for treatment, but he was just angry and soon woke up.

Shuichi Takano, who came to his senses, hesitated for a long time, but he still decided to send a telegram to the 79th Wing Headquarters to report on the situation of his troops.

For his direct superior, Takano Shuichi did not hide the slightest, and he reported all the losses of his troops.

Moriki Ichiro looked at the contents of the message, and the expression on his face became complicated, and a pair of eyes looked at the content of the message.

He felt that his head was a little dizzy, as if someone had given him a hammer and slammed it, and Moriki Ichiro subconsciously sat on the chair.

Looking at the message with a blank gaze, he didn't speak for a long time.

Ever since he knew that Takano Shuichi was attacking Sun Weiguo's troops, Moriki Ichiro knew that Takano Shuichi would not win this battle.

It's just that he never dreamed that Takano Shuichi's troops would pay such a heavy price in casualties.

"Call back to Takano Shuichi, the troops immediately withdraw to Pingding County, stick to the county seat and don't fight, if Takano Shuichi makes a decision again, I must chop him alive!"

Moriki Ichiro gritted his teeth and said that the cost of casualties in Takano Shuichi's troops was completely beyond his bottom line.

If it weren't for the fact that Pingding County still needed to be commanded by Shuichi Takano, Ichiro Moriki would have been eager to immediately suggest that Shuichi Takano be sent to a military court.

Telegrams began to be sent out from the headquarters of the 79th Wing, and the headquarters of the 40th Brigade and the 20th Division received reports from Ichiro Moriki.

Both Yoshio Kazuki and Kawagishi Bunzaburo were surprised by the casualties of Shuichi Takano's troops, and then their hearts were filled with anger.

In their opinion, if it weren't for Takano Shuichi taking the initiative to provoke Sun Weiguo, how could the Japanese puppet army in Pingding County have such a price of casualties.

The two Japanese generals were eager to split Takano Shuichi in half, but they had the same idea as Moriki Ichiro, that is, Pingding County needed Takano Shuichi to command.

The two of them sent harshly worded telegrams to Hideichi Takano, and they demanded that Hideichi Takano stick to the county seat and not fight without an order.

At the same time, the headquarters of the 20th Division began to send a telegram to the First Army to report the situation here, and they hoped that the First Army could contact the North China Front Army and let the North China side quickly transfer the Chinese Tun Mixed Corps to Pingding County to clear Sun Weiguo's independent regiment.

The Japanese army was furious because of the loss of Takano Shuichi's troops, but the soldiers and civilians here in Chengguan Town had more complicated emotions.

The troops won the battle, and they should have been happy, but when they saw the corpses of those sacrificed soldiers, whether it was soldiers or civilians, the mood was not very good.

Life after life is gone, they are all in their twenties, they can have a better life.

It's just that the iron hooves of the gang violated that day, and they put down the farm tools in the field without hesitation and carried the guns to defend the country.

Inch by inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, they defended their homeland with their own lives, making the Japanese invaders clearly realize that China was not invaded by them at will.

Sun Weiguo raised his right hand, and he watched as the fallen soldiers were carried to the truck one by one, and they would be sent to Nanzhuang Village for burial.

The body was quickly lifted into the truck, which began to whistle, then pulled the engine and gradually disappeared from view.

Sun Weiguo's right hand was never put down, and Sun Weiguo's heart was very painful at this time.

"Deputy Commander." At this time, Fu Tao, the commander of the third company, came to Sun Weiguo, and he saluted and said.

Fu Tao graduated from the Army University, the same as Chen Yang and other academic schools, they are very standard in terms of military posture and military salute, and the style and discipline buckle of the military uniform is always tied.

The first company suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the company commander Yin Jin has now come to his senses, but he needs to cultivate.

Therefore, Sun Weiguo transferred the third company that stayed in Nanzhuang Village to Chengguan Town, and transferred the company with a lot of losses to Nanzhuang Village to rest.

"Although the Japanese puppet army has retreated, we still don't want to be careless, your three companies will send one or two platoons to fill the trenches, and the other platoon will be stationed in the outer positions."

Sun Weiguo looked at Fu Tao, and he immediately gave an order.

"Yes, Deputy Commander." Fu Tao immediately saluted and replied.

At this time, a squad leader of the reconnaissance platoon hurriedly ran towards Sun Weiguo.
