Chapter XVIII: Persistent Harassment

"Your Excellency, General, our army has already routed the disrupting enemy army. In this battle, a total of 56 enemy soldiers were killed and two enemy wounded were captured! The Wing Commander was very excited to report his "brilliant" results to His Excellency. It's just that he forgot to report the casualties of the Japanese army in the pursuit battle.

"Very good, Nagano-kun, you immediately organize an interrogation, and you must find out the number and number of this force, as well as the commander."

"Hey!" Da Zuo saluted, turned and ran. Major General Nagase covered his ears that were still aching, looked at the back of this capable subordinate, and a smile appeared on his face, but because he accidentally touched the wound, he frowned again.

"Little devil, peeling, cramping, lighting the sky lantern, grandpa is waiting! It's kind of a grandpa again! ”

As soon as he walked to the interrogation place on the side of the road, he heard such an angry scolding, and Nagano Daisa's brows immediately furrowed. Yoshio Nagano had studied at a university in Manchuria before, and he still had some knowledge of Chinese culture, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong from this angry scolding just now.

"Say, what part of you are there? What's your army number? What's the name of your troop commander? Anyway, I'll give you a good time! Nagano yelled as he glared at the blood-soaked soldier in front of him.

"Lao Tzu is from the Tiger Regiment, the name of our big boss? Hehe, I can't tell you, little devil, what the hell are you staring at! Lao Tzu was still ** yesterday, listen! Lao Tzu is from the Fifth War Zone Independent Regiment, come on, give grandpa a good time! ”

Nagano Osa really can't listen to it anymore, this person's mouth is too stinky! He drew his pistol and shot the man in the head, giving him a hard time. Two prisoners, one of whom was dead before the interrogation began, and the remaining one, under the fury of Nagano Osa, was also shot, and although he did not fully get the confession that the brigade commander wanted, His Excellency Osa had figured out the main issues that his brigade commander and he wanted to understand.

"Your Excellency, the interrogation has been understood. These people are armed with local bandits. ”

"Oh? Did the captives say it themselves? General Nagase saw that Yoshio Nagano did not come with a confession, so he asked questions. In fact, the brigade commander also knew that Nagano Osa would not deceive him, but he was a little curious about the origin of the confession.

"Yes, General. The captives said that he was from the LTTE, and called his commander the commander. These are all names that only bandits have. The captor had said that he was still a government soldier yesterday, but I think he was lying. Chinese love face, maybe this captive feels dishonorable as a bandit and wants to be treated by government troops here with us, right? ”

"I see. Well, let's go on the march. "The commander of the Nagase Brigade still trusts him very much in the words of his Chinese general, since he thinks that the other party is a bandit, then he must be a bandit.

Soon after the Japanese troops marched in, sporadic gunfire rang out in the surroundings.

"Order the troops, speed up the march, and ignore these sporadic harassments!" Since the other party is armed with bandits, of course General Nagase has no time to pay attention to them, and when he wins the battle, he has time to clean up these bandits, and now, he and his troops have more important things to do.

Soon after the Japanese Nagase detachment began to march, the gunfire around the troops began to change from sporadic light rain to light rain. His Excellency the detachment commander no longer wants to waste time on these so-called bandits, since it is a war, there are always some sacrifices, the loss of a small number of soldiers, as long as you can reach the destination on time and complete the set strategic goals, everything is acceptable.

Gao Quan saw that the devil began to ignore the snipers he sent, and he also understood that the devil didn't want to delay any longer, since this is the case, then it is better to escort the devil according to the original plan. The devil only gets beaten and doesn't fight back, there are not many opportunities for this kind of good thing, and you must not miss it. In order not to provoke the devil again, Gao Quan ordered the snipers not to shoot at the devil officers, and only to shoot the devil soldiers. Gao Quan thinks that he is the first marksman in the whole regiment, and with this opportunity to practice, of course he doesn't want to miss it, as the regiment commander and scoop handle, he also took a formal rifle and followed behind the devil team. A little bit of help the devil Nagase Brigade slim down.

When the Nagase detachment was preparing to cross the canal near Jining, it was stubbornly blocked by the squadron defending here, and the commander of the Nagase brigade had to stop his advance.

Defending here was Sun Tongxuan's Third Army. The Third Army built a large number of fortifications along the canal, and since the devil came, Commander-in-Chief Sun did not want to let him go. More than 20,000 men and horses of the Third Army spread out along the canal near Jining, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army's Nagase detachment.

The battle ahead was urgent, Gao Quan took the opportunity to harass behind the devils, and did not entangle with the devils' large army, but still used snipers to attack the devils' rear positions piecemeal, and at the same time, the mortars in the regiment were also pulled up, and after two shots, they immediately moved. At this time, the devils knew that there were not sporadic bandits following them at all, even if they were really bandits, they were quite large bandits, ordinary small bandits, where could they afford mortars?

It's too late to say anything now, the Nagase detachment has been tightly entangled by Sun Tongxuan's troops in front, and it can't do it if they want to draw their strength to deal with the harassment behind. Unable to draw a considerable number of troops to stop the bandit forces who were making trouble behind him, and unwilling to be beaten all the time, the commander of the Nagase detachment finally gritted his teeth and pulled out a squadron from his brigade headquarters, plus a squadron from a baggage brigade assigned to him by the division and regiment, to form a temporary detachment, and went to the back of the position to stop the vicious sneak attack of the bandit forces.

There are more than 400 devils in two squadrons, which is already a large number, and Gao Quan led his people to fight and retreat in a vain attempt to lure these two squadrons of devils away from the main army.

The detachment leader of the devil's detachment is Kobayashi Shaoza, a staff officer of the brigade and regiment headquarters. Kobayashi Shaozo wears glasses and looks polite. After staying in the brigade headquarters for a long time, and always doing staff work, Kobayashi Shaozuo still has a very good set of analysis of the troop arrangement and the battlefield situation. Gao Quan's conspiracy, Kobayashi Shaozuo saw through it at a glance, and he always remembered what His Excellency the former general told him, don't leave the army too far, and if this battle is successful, give him a real position as captain.

Kobayashi very much wants to carry out the orders of His Excellency the General. The captain of the real power is really a huge temptation for him, thinking about the nearly 1,000 people under his command, Xiao Lin is excited. It's just that good things always have to be grinded a lot, and some people don't want him to get his wish. First of all, the two squadrons he led belonged to different systems, and it was said that the squadron that came out of the brigade headquarters should listen to him the most, they used to work in the same unit! But it was this squadron that had the first problems.
