Kosuke Otsuka put down his binoculars and continued to look at the city wall of Toyodian County with a clear outline in the distance with a pair of naked eyes: the thickness and height of the city wall symbolized the prosperity of the city, and in the prosperous city, there will be many young Shina women.

The military horse under Dazuo seemed to be a little impatient, snorted, and kicked the iron hooves on the dry yellow earth of Shanxi a few times. At this moment, around this famous Mongolian horse, there is a phalanx of officers and soldiers of the Otsuka Wing; At the forefront of the phalanx, the 12 field heavy guns of the field artillery brigade were lined up, and the artillerymen were busy correcting the firing range, and the black and heavy muzzles were gloomily staring at the important town of Jinnan.

Kosuke Otsuka's mood was withdrawn from the young Shina woman to the siege battle that was about to start, and his lieutenant staff officer's military horse stood on the right side with half a horse's head behind, and the lieutenant staff officer was still holding a telescope to survey the distant city wall, and Otsuka knew that in the vision of the telescope at this moment, nothing could be seen on the Fengdian city wall except for a few blue sky and white sun flags of the Shina army.

"Is there any update on the intelligence of the Defending City Army?" Without looking back, he asked the lieutenant staff officer.

"Nope. According to several telegrams sent by the comprehensive brigade headquarters before the departure of our wing, the remnants of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army, which were currently deployed in Fengdian County, fled here after being defeated by me on the outskirts of Taiyuan; The other is the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army. The total strength did not exceed three thousand people, and heavy weapons were not used. ”

It's still pre-departure information. Yasutsuka listened expressionlessly, and after a while, he said almost to himself: After Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan escaped, the vulnerable remnants of the army were defeated.

The lieutenant's staff officer cautiously observed the look of the wing commander from the side, and then said carefully and carefully: "Dazuo, since the capture of Taiyuan and Junling, the entire division has been resting, and now our wing has suddenly marched south alone, and the troops are under the city of Fengdian, and most of the officers and men are guessing the combat intentions of the attack on this lonely city in the mountains. ”

Kosuke Otsuka couldn't help but glance back, and just this glance suddenly made the lieutenant staff officer feel a chill even worse than in the mountains. Dazuo almost roared:

"Combat intent? Are the officers and soldiers really just guessing about this? I think it's because I've been stationed peacefully for too long and no longer have the will to fight, right?! Not counting the battle in Hebei, since Niangziguan entered Shanxi alone, more than 500 warriors of the wing have been killed in fierce battles, is it possible that after only two months of recuperation, the iron-blooded tradition of the Imperial Army has been lost?! ”

The lieutenant staff officer hurriedly bowed his head and said "hi"; Don't dare to say anything more.

Kosuke Otsuka took a breath and ignored the young subordinate. As the commander of the wing, he of course knew the current mentality of the officers and men under his command: this was the beginning of February 1938, and the main force of the North China Front Army to which the wing belonged had already entered Hebei and transferred to Shandong to fight, and only two divisions were left in the entire Shanxi. As one of the divisions stationed in Tun, the officers and men of the Hagiwara Brigade Otsuka Wing of the Sena Division seem to have become accustomed to the comfort of fighting only sporadic battles for more than two months, and robbery and rape are becoming the main military affairs, especially the young Shina women, which makes these energetic warriors happy.

However, Osa himself also has a strong desire for the young Shina woman. He remembered the team headquarters located in the ancient city of Junling, in the antique mansion, the beautiful women he had enjoyed. But with the urgent telegram of the brigade headquarters two days ago, Junling instantly became a passing cloud behind him, and the unfamiliar Fengdian county town in front of him was the primary target of the wing at the moment. For this reason, Kosuke Otsuka certainly could not tolerate the war-weariness of his subordinates.

The 40-year-old ambitious Kosuke Otsuka Daisa regretted that the main force of his Sena Division could not be incorporated into the front army and moved to Hebei and Shandong. Only half a year ago, he was only a young man, and after the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, he entered North China with the Sena Division and participated in the Pingjin Operation; Then along the Zhengtai Road (author's note: the railway between Zhengding, Hebei and Taiyuan, Shanxi) invaded the eastern part of Shanxi, and at the end of the Battle of Niangziguan, Dazuo Lingzhang was worn on his military uniform. Otsuka knew very well that if it weren't for the brutal battle, he would never have been able to get such a rapid promotion.

Of course, Kosuke Otsuka is also aware of the risk of fighting, that is, the risk of tying a head to a belt and charging into battle, not to mention that in the tragic Battle of Niangzi Pass, the reason why he was able to succeed from the then captain to the deputy wing captain and wing captain was because in just half a month, his two predecessors died on the battlefield one after another.

From Hebei to Shanxi, the resistance of the Chinese soldiers was quite heroic, although he was reluctant to admit it.

"Report to Dazuo! The latest intelligence from the cavalry squadron! ”

The cavalry squadron was drawn from the cavalry wing directly under the Sena Division and temporarily assigned to the Otsuka Wing; Yesterday afternoon, as the spearhead of the Otsuka United, they arrived at the foot of Fengdian Castle in advance; This morning, this cavalry squadron cruised to the area outside the west gate of Fengdian County as planned, and reconnoitred the movements of the defenders from the flank.

"What information?" Otsuka asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Iwata Shaoza led a cavalry squadron straight to the west gate of Fengdian, and found signs of the movement of the Shina soldiers on the city wall, but in the face of sufficient firing range, the Shina soldiers had no intention of firing; Based on this analysis, Iwata Shaoza said that the morale of the Chinese army defending the city was weak, and suggested that the wing commander adopt a strategy of persuasion to surrender, so that our troops could get Fengdian County without a fight. ”

Yasuke Otsuka almost laughed out loud in anger: Another bastard who doesn't want to fight! Where is this farmer from Hokkaido who herds horses, where is his original wildness? Did the liquor in Junling City soften his legs and stomach!?

"Yaga!" , Otsuka Kosuke's roar this time was no longer deliberately suppressed: "Tell Iwata Shaozo to order his cavalry to shoot at the castle head of the Shina army, and order the riders to stand on the saddle and pee on the head of Toyoden Castle!" In order to provoke the sluggish morale of the Chinese soldiers! ”

The wing commander's fierce but extremely strange order made the subordinates who came to report not dare to ask any more questions and left tremblingly. At this moment, Kosuke Otsuka has made up his mind, he wants to let the officers and soldiers who have been absent from the battle for a long time regain the courage to fight, even if there is a chance to win without a fight, he will never try. Peace is a dose* that will paralyze the soldier's ambition to be aggressive.

Fengdian is known as the military gateway of Jinnan, and he wants to conquer this portal by force, including the woman behind the portal by force!

Thinking of the woman again, Otsuka's memory couldn't help but return to the ancient city of Junling, and to the body of the woman in the wing headquarters. The young women who were captured were weak, submissive, and strong. He likes the fierce ones, which fuel his endless desire to conquer.

And his wing, right now, needs to inspire an endless desire to conquer.

"Mizuno-kun," Osa changed his stern tone and called the name of the lieutenant staff officer who had just been reprimanded: "Inform the brigades, take down Fengdian, and the officers and soldiers will have a two-day holiday and be allowed to loot property,"

Speaking of this, he paused intentionally, looked at his subordinates who were listening intently, and then glanced at the layout of the wing in the wilderness, and a strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "During the holidays, the warriors can enjoy the women in the city very well!" ”

Lieutenant Mizuno raised his head suddenly, his expression changed from the decline just now, the corners of his eyes lit up, he pinched his legs excitedly, and excitedly said "Hi", and the military horses under him also vibrate, and raised his head to the sky and neighed, causing several military horses on the left and right to all scream.

Amid the chirping of military horses, a large flock of crows fluttered their wings and swept over the queue of the Otsuka Coalition, noisily flying towards Toyodian Castle in the distance.
