Chapter 20: What a Strategist He Is
In just half a day, more than 60 devils died, including a Shaozuo.
The fact that such a large number of casualties occurred in a small battle is simply a great shame for the arrogant and invincible devils, and they absolutely cannot tolerate and accept this fact.
It was late at night, and the office building of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in the county town was brightly lit, as if it were day. The devils who came in and out all had drooping faces and solemn faces, and the atmosphere of the entire office building was suffocating and sad, as if the emperor had died.
On the second floor is the brain and heart of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, where the officers work, as well as confidential departments such as the Intelligence Section and the Investigation Section
A short, slightly fat, bald, and black-faced guy took the report handed by the staff of the intelligence department, and when he saw the words "all killed, no one was spared", he immediately roared like crazy, and slammed the report on the table, and knocked all the things on the table to the ground, the paper flew everywhere, the inkwell fell to the ground, shattered, and the ink splashed in all directions, and the whole room was in a mess.
This madman is the exaggerating Ishihara Jihei, who has boasted about Haikou on many occasions, flaunting how capable he is and how invincible his subordinates are.
Ishihara Jihei didn't want to suffer a dumb loss, he wanted revenge, and he wanted to kill all those who were against him, and he didn't hesitate to give everything. It's a pity that the entire county garrison is only a few hundred people, and in the face of the incident of destroying the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle", too many troops have been dispersed, and now they have lost more than 60 troops in one day, and they feel even more powerless.
Ishihara reluctantly thought of Watanabe Daisa, his mentor, hoping that his mentor could send two hundred more soldiers, but Watanabe was furious: "Why do you still have the face to call me? I thought you would have committed suicide by disembowelment for the dignity of my Imperial Japanese soldier and in order to prove your absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"The teacher was angry, it wasn't that the students were incompetent, it was just that a bunch of dirt roads, well-equipped and well-trained, suddenly appeared, and I was caught off guard......" Ishihara on the other end of the phone kept explaining.
"In that case, then you should prove your ability, instead of begging me, I am the person who despises the most begging to get by, and you should know this better than others. Watanabe's beard seemed to stand on end.
"I understand! It's just, it's just that I do have a problem and need your help, and the students will be grateful. Despite Ishihara's contempt, he wanted to get reinforcements through his mentor.
"The southern front is tight, anti-Japanese elements are rising one after another, and troops are needed everywhere. For you, what you need is a new understanding of yourself, not so-called reinforcements. Watanabe Daisa hung up the phone viciously, with the word "idiot".
Ishihara gently put down the phone, looked helplessly at the portrait of the emperor on the wall, and muttered: "I must keep my life first, for the great and supreme cause of the emperor, and for the revival of the glory of the Ishihara family."
The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and the opportunity to prove it is just around the corner, find out and wipe out the troublemakers, complete the work task beautifully, and shut up the old fox Watanabe, Ishihara thought to himself to the portrait of the emperor...... The gang of troublemakers in his heart was none other than Qiao Xiaojing's squad that made him humiliated and damaged.
Qiao Xiaojing and the others have already taken action, and the team members went deep into the fields to investigate and study the maturity of autumn grain, while she and Cuiyu pondered the next countermeasures......
After a while, Qiao Xiaojing came to the courtyard, walking back and forth, all kinds of questions came and went in her mind, disturbing her sometimes frowning, sometimes pursing her lips, sometimes looking up at the sky, and sometimes looking down and sighing one or two. Jade stayed in the room and sorted out the previous records about the devil......
After a few hours, Qiao Xiaojing walked into the room, looked at the table full of papers, and said to Cuiyu with a smile: "Now you look like a bookkeeper, not at all like a soldier who plays with his life!"
"The world is peaceful, I would like to be a bookkeeper, but unfortunately, this world has forced us to become men's wives. Jade picked up the messy pieces of paper on the table.
"What did you find?" Qiao Xiaojing pointed to the paper in Cuiyu's hand.
"It's very fragmented, and there is no pattern to follow. Jade shook her head.
"The devils are caught in the vast sea of the people, the resistance is flourishing all over the country, the devils' troops are insufficient, the southern front is tight, the devils continue to increase the southern front, and the devils here will only be fewer, not more. But the grain is about to be harvested, and I'm afraid that if the devils are desperate, then it will be difficult for us, and it will be difficult for us to cope with the existing troops. Qiao Xiaojing still had no bottom in her heart.
"As long as the devils don't increase their troops, we still have a chance to bloom more. "Jade is more optimistic.
"The devil has guns and cannons in his hands, what can the people resist?" Qiao Xiaojing shook her head helplessly, took a deep breath, and suddenly said to herself, "It would be nice if I could find that mysterious person, maybe he has a way." ”
Speaking of the mysterious man, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were silent again, falling into deep thought......
Watanabe, though deeply disappointed in Ishihara, did not want to see him defeated, so he sent one of his confidants, Hui Rushen, to Ishihara, who had been the provincial education commissioner under the Kuomintang.
Watanabe is a low-key man who doesn't want to make a big deal out of everything, especially before things come to an end.
Ishihara is a man who has been forced to keep a low profile, because the cruel reality keeps slapping his acne-ridden face, and he doesn't have the courage to be high-profile. Of course, he couldn't make a high profile about Watanabe's sending people to support, because he didn't know about it at all.
In this case, it is really confusing, why did Hui Rushen come to the county seat to make a fuss?
This is a simple question, Hui Rushen is an extremely inferior person, has always liked to show off his might, likes to show off and show off himself, he thinks that Watanabe has many strategists around him, but he is deeply respected, the villain is ambitious, and he wants to let the world know, how can there be a reason not to be known everywhere?
Dazhi and Ah Zi naturally understood this.
"If only I had known, set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and kill this person, so as not to cause us trouble. Qiao Xiaojing was somewhat disappointed when she heard that Watanabe, the old fox, had sent a strategist.
"We only heard it after we entered the city, and we didn't see this person. Ah Zi quickly explained.
"Where did this person come from, and how many people did he bring?" Qiao Xiaojing frowned, staring at Ah Zi and Dazhi.
"I don't know yet, we'll inquire right away. After Ah Zi and Dazhi finished talking, they turned around and came to the courtyard.
The two chatted secretly, Ah Zi whispered something, and Dazhi nodded frequently. About five minutes later, the two left the "Sai Xi Shi" tofu shop through a secret door.
Qiao Xiaojing has been fidgeting all day long since she heard that Watanabe had sent a confidant strategist, and she has a restless and ownerless look.
"What's wrong with you? Maybe it's just a straw bag that sells your reputation, why worry so much before you figure out the situation?" Cuiyu was really worried when she saw Qiao Xiaojing's state.
"I wish I was unfounded. Watanabe is a difficult character to deal with, his strategist is definitely not a straw bale that eats dry rice, we finally disrupted the plan of Ishihara, a bastard, and there is a so-called bullshit strategist, how can we rest assured?" Qiao Xiaojing just finished speaking, and slammed the table with her fist in anger.
"Anyway, we have to wait for Ah Zi and them to come back, and listen to what they have to say, right?" Cuiyu felt that Qiao Xiaojing's worries were indeed reasonable, and she didn't know how to comfort Qiao Xiaojing for a while.
"I just hope the news they brought back isn't too bad. Qiao Xiaojing let out a long breath and stood in front of the map......
In the middle of the night, Dazhi and Ah Zi returned. The two were full of alcohol, supporting each other, and when they saw that the door of Qiao Xiaojing's house was open and the lights were on in the house, they staggered in.
"I heard it, Watanabe Lao'er didn't want to give Ishihara, the turtle grandson, any help at all, and sent someone to make an example for the outside world. The one who was sent was not a strategist at all, but an education commissioner of the Kuomintang in the past, who had no ability, and only specialized in rhetoric and flattery. When Dazhi spoke, his tongue couldn't be straightened.
"How many people are here?" Qiao Xiaojing stared at Dazhi.
"It's just a few casual things. Ah Zi saw that Dazhi was a little unstable, so he quickly took over.
"This is gratifying news, thank you for your hard work!" Qiao Xiaojing's constricted brows expanded, and the bitter gourd face was replaced by a smile. She poured a glass of water for Dazhi and Ah Zi, and asked with a smile, "Why do you drink alcohol?"
"It's easy to get the news at the wine table, and invite someone to take a few sips. Dazhi can't open his eyes, and his tongue doesn't bend.
The news that Dazhi and Ah Zida heard was like a reassuring pill, which suddenly made Qiao Xiaojing's mood much clearer.
Early the next morning, Qiao Xiaojing took the big man and Cuiyu out of the city, they didn't have any special tasks, everything was centered on food conservation, that is, to see how long it would take for the crops on the outskirts of the city to be harvested.
Not far from Qiao Xiaojing's departure from the city, they encountered seven or eight enemies, including devils and the Imperial Army, and the one at the forefront of the team was the new strategist Hui Rushen, who used to be a frequent visitor to the "Intoxicated House", and coveted Qiao Xiaojing. Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu recognized this guy at a glance, and both of them were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and walked forward slowly.
"Stop!" Hui Rushen took a few steps forward, seemed to recognize Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, and suddenly stopped.
Qiao Xiaojing dragged Ah Zi and the big man, and ran desperately towards the woods next to her, taking out the gun from her waist as she ran.
"Eight roads, they did the latest thing. The enemy turned in pursuit, and one of the Imperial Concordants shouted.
The big man felt like he was in a dream, but he walked well but suddenly this situation happened, muttering, "What's going on......"
