Tajima Hidetaro annihilated the enemy at the cost of more than 300 people 1,000 and a half, and the news spread, and the devils in Ruian City finally walked out of the shadow of Cangnan's defeat as if they had returned to their souls, and had a little "the second strongest army in the world". Matsui Ishine and Tani Toshio were alarmed by the movement of the West Gate, and the two of them appeared on the battlefield under the escort of hundreds of devils, and they saw Okuichiro standing on the castle tower with his hands behind his back, scanning the battlefield under the magnesium light of the flares.

The two of them went upstairs one after another, and Matsui looked at the guerrillas strewn with corpses on the battlefield, and did not hesitate to praise Okuichiro, and said: "Oku-kun, this victory came too timely!" With this victory boosting morale, we may be able to wait here for the troops of the Northern Front to come and rendezvous. ”

The South China Front attacked on the northern and southern fronts at the same time, and the target of the northern front was Longquan and Pucheng. The area around Longquan is mountainous, and the mountainous area is very conducive to the guerrillas to cause nuisance. The commander of the northern front, Kawabe Shozo, was disturbed by the guerrilla attack, and simply postponed the attack on Longquan and focused on clearing the outlying strongholds of the Cadet Army, and so far no major war broke out with the Cadet Army. After the southern front troops were surrounded in Xiaojiang Town on the west bank of the Ao River, Matsui Shigen was unable to get support from the Combined Fleet, so he could only let the northern front troops of the riverside Shozo go south to rescue. The old devil's initial plan was to give up the besieged troops on the west bank of the Ao River, but after this battle, the hope of rescuing the besieged troops was ignited in his heart, so he had the idea of sticking to Ruian and other northern front troops to come to rendezvous.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that you withdraw to Wenzhou," Okuichiro won a battle, and it was inevitable that he would be complacent, but he did not get carried away. He said the reason for insisting on retreating: "If the troops on the northern front want to come to Rui'an, the nearest route is to take Jingning and Wen'an, but these two places are the guerrilla base of the Xuebing Army, and the Xuebing Army has been operating here for a long time, and even if Hebianjun can defeat them, the time will not be short." However, how long can the troops on the west bank of the Ao River hold out? Your Excellency, the artillery of the Chinese people is too sharp, and they also have air supremacy, I am afraid that we will not be able to wait for the troops of the northern front to come to help at that time, and we will be surrounded again. Your Excellency, the guerrillas of the Zhina people are not good at attacking fortifications, but they are good at playing sneak attacks, and if they retreat later, I am worried that they will be dragged down by their kraft candy tactics in the field! ”

Matsui Ishine was desperate to rescue the besieged troops on the west bank of the Ao River, and there was a real need. If he can rescue more than 10,000 people, even if this battle has been decided, his face will look much better. And if you can only take these 3,000 people back in Ryan City, then what is it? Annihilated! The old devil's mind was still clear, and he sighed when he heard the words, and said, "Your concerns are also reasonable, so let's withdraw!" Well, over there by the river, do you still want sugar to come to Ryan? ”

"Your Excellency, I thought that they should also retreat!"

Matsui Ishine was stunned when he heard this, and Gu Shoufu shouted, "What? I heard that Hebian-kun has cleared the stronghold of the Scholar Army on the outskirts of Longquan, so he just gave up attacking Longquan, wouldn't it-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ichiro Okuchiro. With the flare extinguished, Ryan City was completely plunged into darkness at this time. In the dark, Okuichiro said, "Your Excellency Gu Shou, haven't you realized yet?" The defeat of our army was not accidental. Think about it, light weapons, heavy weapons, chariots, warplanes, as well as the quality and tactics of soldiers, which point of the student army is weaker than us? Your Excellency, I beg all due respect, I would like to say that the Empire has lost its best opportunity to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Cadet Army. Now, what we should do is to seize the time to develop advanced armed forces and strengthen and consolidate our control over the occupied areas -- well, I used to oppose the use of China to contain China, but now it seems that this is the most effective and convenient way to deal with China. The defection of the Ningbo Security Brigade is actually our own fault-"

The defection of the Ningbo Security Brigade was a thorn in Gu Shoufu's heart. He thought that if it weren't for the mutiny of the brigade, it would be impossible for the Cadet Army to withstand his last round of attacks. The old devil had no consciousness of being a defeater, and said indignantly when he heard this: "Da Jiujun, you directly said that I was to blame, why bother to take the responsibility on myself?" Hum! I did it wrong. But I would like to state that I am not wrong in forcing the Ningbo Security Brigade back, but I still have a glimmer of hope for them. There is an old saying in the people of China, have you heard of it? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts! Hmph, I'm just too soft-hearted, I should have disarmed the security brigade first! ”

Gu Shoufu's statement, that is the standard dead nature does not change. Matsui Shigen couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted: "Gu Shoufu, you just say a few words!" ”

Gu Shoufu hated and threw his sleeves away.

Matsui Ishine waited for him to get off the city wall, and said to Okuichiro: "Oku-kun, Gu Shoufu is a madman, don't be like him!" ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I've got a clear priority."

"Da Jiujun, you are the real wise general of our South China Front, we really have no hope for this battle?"

"There's still a glimmer of hope."

"A trace?"

"Yes. This is still the credit of His Excellency Gu Shou, do you remember the 'Breaking Min Forward Team' he sent and the troops that attacked Taishun by surprise? ”

The battle designed by Okuichiro to ambush the Ruiping guerrilla column was indeed fought beautifully, and the most exciting thing about it was that he calculated Tian Wenfeng's psychology accurately, and knew that he would definitely attack from the West Gate. Matsui Ishine believes that he doesn't have this ability, and at the time of this big defeat, it is natural for him to obey his words. Of the three offensives launched by Gu Shoufu against Guanmei, only the first round was agreed by him, so he didn't know about the "breaking Fujian team". Because he didn't know the way, although it was just "a glimmer of hope", because it came out of Okuichiro's mouth, he couldn't help but have great hope for it. He asked again and again: "How many people are there in total?" What did Gu Shoufu let them do? ”

"There is only one brigade or more in number, but if Qian Jiangichiro commands it properly, he may be able to disrupt the situation in southern Fujian. Because, Gu Shoufu let them kill people and set fires! Your Excellency, do you have any impressions? It's the one who went to Germany to study special operations. ”

Hearing that there was only one brigade or more, Matsui Shi was a little disappointed at all, but as soon as he heard that it was led by Qian Jiang Ichiro, and his task was to go to the hinterland of southern Fujian to kill people and set fires, he understood the meaning of Okuichiro's words, and the flame of hope rose in his heart, and said: "I have seen Qian Jiang Ichiro, a good young man." Murder and arson! Well, if they can really mess up the rear of the cadet army, we really have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

"That's why I suggested that the troops on the northern front be withdrawn first. Then, see what scale they can do, and if there is a chance, launch an attack from the southern front. At that time, I thought the Combined Fleet should have finished replenishing fighters! ”

"Just do as you say! I will personally sign the order to Shozo Kawabe! Da Jiujun, when and how to withdraw to Wenzhou, I will give you carte blanche! Great work! ”

"Thank you for your trust, I will do my best!"
