vs 58 Confusion and fear

Inoue Seiichiro stood in front of the position with a gloomy face and looked at the depths of the dense forest in front of him, with lush branches and leaves, many trees, and burly trees covering each other, blocking almost all the space in front of him, so that his vision was completely blocked more than a dozen steps away, and it was difficult to reach far, however, such a barrier did not seem to affect this firm Shaozuo, he stared at the depths of the woods like this, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets hidden behind the intertwined branches and leaves, as if he wanted to see through all the conspiracies hidden under the calm appearance.

Sasagawa San hurried over, and Mita Hidetoyo and the others who followed closely on the side looked serious, and only the grinding sound of branches and leaves was left in the jungle, hurried and anxious.

"Sasa-kun, the people of China are far more cunning than we imagined." Inoue Senichiro didn't look back, he looked ahead in a daze, but it was as if he had eyes behind his back, and before Sasakawa San could speak, he said from afar.

Sasakawa San still had a wooden and strict expression, as if nothing in this world could affect his mood, and only after getting close to Inoue Xuanichiro did he say in a deep voice: "Is Inoue-kun ready to pursue?" ”

Inoue Senichiro suddenly turned his head, as if he was surprised by Sasagawa's direct words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was afraid that others would see what he was thinking, and immediately asked, "What does Sasa-kun think?" ”

Sasagawa San shook his head without hesitation and said, "Inoue-kun, you don't really think that the people of China were repelled by us, right?" ”

Sasagawa San's tone immediately made Inoue Xuanichiro's expression even more displeased, thinking of the situation that the two brigades were almost fighting separately in the attack these days, he looked at Sasakawa San's eyes were full of disdain, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart, I really don't know what the brigade headquarters and several wing commanders think, a person who has almost been wiped out as a result of the brigade's guarding baggage, can still stay in the position of the captain, which is simply a shame on their 6th brigade, but at this moment he still has to fight with him, That kind of disgust from the bottom of his heart obviously also affected his speech and demeanor.

"Captain Sazo can't have been scared out of his guts by the Shina people, right?" Inoue couldn't help but sneer.

Sasakawa San's expression remained unchanged and said: "Inoue-kun also swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, so he naturally has the spirit of not fearing death, but I don't know why Inoue-kun is still staying here and allowing the people of China to retreat calmly?" ”

In the face of Sasagawa San's unflinching blunt provocation, Inoue Xuanichiro suddenly smiled and said: "Sasa-kun, we are not the first day on the battlefield, this kind of gas blockage, there is no need to say more, at present, the main force of the people of the branch is still struggling to support the Nanxun line, and the Hanyue Railway has not been completely truncated, and the strategic battle of Wuhan has inevitably achieved decisive results. ”

Sasagawa Mikine's face also changed a little, he seemed to be grinning, as if he was smiling, in this case it looked very weird, just listen to him said slowly: "The people of Shina have been here with us for a long time, Inoue-kun, with all due respect, if there is no special change, I am afraid that in another month, it will be difficult for us to break through the position in front of us." ”

Inoue Xuanichiro nodded, obviously acquiescing to his opinion, after all, although they didn't talk about the previous predicament, they also knew it in their hearts.

"There are only two situations that can go up to the people of China to give up their positions and retreat, one is that the people of China have given a problem and it is difficult to continue, and the second is that the people of China deliberately retreat and want to ambush us." Sasakawa said succinctly.

"When Zuo Zuojun said this, he obviously didn't want to chase down?" Inoue Senichiro also asked himself.

"Chase, why not? If you don't chase it over, how can you know what tricks the people are playing? If it is really a shortage of supplies, we have wasted the good opportunity in front of us, and Inoue-kun will have to bear the consequences at that time, don't forget that before coming to Minshan, His Excellency Toyama assigned the main command of this time to Inoue-kun. Sasagawa San said, staring at Inoue Senichiro stunned, the provocative look in his eyes was clearly visible, and he changed his usual wooden look.

Inoue Xuanichiro snorted coldly when he heard this, obviously very dissatisfied with the meaning of Sasagawa's three words, but he was not afraid, and immediately said: "Then Sasa-kun will take your third team to cover behind, if you are afraid and do something wrong, don't blame me for not thinking about comradeship." After speaking, Inoue Sonichiro waved his hand at Yamada Jun in the distance, and set off again with his team, quickly disappearing into the dense forest in front of him, his decisive and courageous style was in stark contrast to the previous hesitation.

At this time, the chief of staff, Mita Hidetoyo, who was closely behind Sasagawa, raised his head, and the usual shrewd look on his face disappeared, but he was a little confused.

He watched the Inoue Brigade disappear in front of the squad in accordance with the squad sequence, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and said, "Your Excellency, isn't it a little inappropriate to hand over the credit for breaking through Minshan to Captain Inoue so easily?" Originally, the credit for opening the road to De'an was our third brigade. ”

"Shut up, haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Sasagawa snorted angrily, his expression was very serious. This break was also frightened, and Mita Hidetoyo straightened his body again, lowered his head, and said "hi" loudly.

Looking at his appearance, the anger surging in Sasakawa San's heart seemed to have subsided a little, but the stern expression on his face did not weaken in the slightest, and he continued: "Mita-kun, have you forgotten our defeat here and the painful lesson of the First Brigade? It's only been half a month, have we forgotten our previous fiasco? ”

"Hi" Mita Hidetoyo didn't dare to argue, but just replied loudly, completely resigned to it.

This made Sasagawa Mi slow down slightly and said: "Ishihara-kun of the first brigade is a recognized wise man in the wing, and the commander of the brigade headquarters of the battle formation Taoluo Company is also extremely praised, however, even Ishihara-kun and Xiangno-kun were ambushed by the Shina army in Takamine Village, which shows how powerful the Shina people we are facing, Mita-kun, don't take the Shina people you met before to look at the enemy in front of you, you have been planted once, and you have picked up a life by luck, so don't be planted in the same place for a second time, because luck will not be on our side every time, Next time, it may kill us. ”

"Hi" Mita Xiufeng still didn't dare to say much, and only cared about answering.

"Let Suzuki-kun take a squadron to follow behind the Inoue brigade, be sure to keep a good distance, always keep in touch with us, as long as you are not surrounded, in this mountain forest, there is always a way to retreat." Sasakawa said in a deep voice, obviously not very optimistic about this operation.

After hearing the captain's words, he obviously also restrained all his thoughts about fighting for merit, and put all his energy on how to deal with the enemy's surprise attack, after all, the captain's experience in fighting and understanding of the battlefield are obviously not comparable to them at present.

However, to everyone's surprise, their actions of being so cautious and taking one step at a time did not have much effect. As the main commander, Inoue Senichiro naturally undertook the heavy responsibility of opening up the passage to Dean, which made him unable to be willing to shrink back like Sasagawa San and "not want to forge ahead".

However, this does not mean that he is not worried about being ambushed, on the contrary, during this period of stalemate, he has seen enough of the strength of the people in front of him, and the dense firepower and calm mentality, as well as the terrifying combat power that makes it difficult for them to move an inch, make him deeply jealous. In the process of advancing, he let a squad rush forward to sweep, and the two wings of the escort search force were as much as about half of the strength of the brigade, but what made him suspicious was that until the team in front of the sudden chased all the way out of Minshan, and when he breathed the fresh air outside the woods, he did not find anything abnormal, and the calm in Minshan was like the long and vast Minshan, and there was a feeling that people could not see through and touch, and people did not know whether there was a terrifying and suffocating power hidden behind this calm.

The calmer it was, the more it made Inoue feel like he had fallen into a trap, and after he sent someone to immediately report the situation here to Sasa's brigade, he personally retreated with the main force and converged with Sasagawa's troops as quickly as possible to deal with any situation that might arise.

However, after more than a day of waiting, the still quiet surroundings completely confused them.

De'an, the city that is related to the foundation of the Nanxun line is more than ten miles to the south, although it can't be seen, but it is within reach of them, thinking that as long as they conquer De'an, they can block the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhina, or even wipe them out, that kind of huge credit is to make them can't help but stir their hearts.

Fortunately, Inoue Senichiro is not an ordinary person, and Sasagawa San also maintained enough vigilance at all times, and did not lose his mind, which made them carefully arrange their positions, take precautions along the way, and report the situation here to the brigade headquarters, in order to wait for the next attack order, for the situation and situation in front of them, for the battle exploits that were suddenly sent to their hands, they were like receiving a hot potato at this moment, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves for a while, and the enemy army that suddenly disappeared in front of them was also like a poisonous snake, I don't know where I have retreated, ready to strike a fatal blow at them.

This made it difficult for Inoue Senichiro and Sasagawa San to sleep and eat, and the two captains, who were still suspicious and dissatisfied with each other, immediately abandoned all their prejudices and discussed the current situation all day long when this kind of major event was related to their lives and the possibility of the destruction of the entire army.
