threw the matter of reining the body to Huang Shilang, and Okamura Shiro immediately gave several orders:

"The first brigade, quickly search the whole city, see if there are any of our warriors in the city who survive, I want to understand clearly, the detailed process of the siege of the city."

"The second brigade, through Heyuan County, went to Heyuan County Railway Station to check the situation, just now I saw the north of the sky, there seems to be a fire!"

"The third brigade, search the evacuation route of the Eighth Road and see where they are retreating, but don't rush to pursue, I will wait for the order of His Excellency the division commander!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The three captains hurriedly nodded in unison, and then went their separate ways with their own people.

Hirono Shiina next to him couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, if the 3rd Brigade has discovered the traces of the Dirt Eighth Road, why don't we pursue it in time and catch these dirt rats, but wait for the order of the division commander?

Isn't it easy to delay fighter planes? ”

"Shiina-kun, from the act of arranging thunder under the remains of the locust warriors, we know that this group of Tsubachi is very different from what we encountered before.

If we rush to catch up and cause heavy casualties, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to His Excellency the division commander.

What's more, if His Excellency the Division Commander has other plans, we rashly pursue and destroy the Tuba Road, and spoil the major affairs of His Excellency the Division Commander, it will not be good. ”

Shiro Okamura explained.

Hearing him say this, Shiina Hirono suddenly understood the calculation of the guy in front of him.

God is so worried about ruining the big thing of the division commander!

Don't you just want to protect yourself?

This beautiful thing to say is a set.

However, he also has to admire that Shiro Okamura's conservatism is indeed the safest strategy at the moment.

Anyway, the task given to them by their superiors was to rush to Heyuan County before dawn, and now they have arrived.

That's enough.

It's good!

Why take the risk?

After all, the enemy can take down a full brigade stationed in Heyuan County in a few hours, this strength is really terrifying, if the 226th Wing really rushes forward, I am afraid it may not be able to please it.

He hurriedly gave a rainbow fart:

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, is indeed far-sighted. Humble admiration! ”

……

Just when the two were blowing each other's business, several soldiers of the First Brigade came out with a few locust soldiers who were in a mess and had no firearms.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we have found several of the routs of Sato's brigade."

Shiro Okamura opened his mouth and scolded:

"Yaga!

You cowards!

They should all commit suicide by seppuku......"

The defeated soldiers trembled with fright, and did not dare to say a word.

After a long time, Shiro Okamura scolded enough, and then said:

"Tell me about the situation of the dirt road!

Don't exaggerate or lie, or I'll execute you right away!" ”

The defeated soldiers trembled in their hearts, and could only tremble:

"Your Excellency, the firepower of those eight-way is too fierce, we are not opponents at all!"

"Baga, nonsense!

Isn't the equipment of the Dirt Eight Road just those tattered Hanyang-made and old-fashioned sleeves?

How is it possible to have powerful firepower? ”

Shiro Okamura felt that these people were simply frightened, and there was no need to ask questions.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, this is not the case!

Not only do they have more than a dozen cannons, mountain artillery, infantry guns and other artillery pieces on the Tuba Road, but their infantry is also equipped with the 38-type rifles of our locust army, and the most terrifying thing is that they actually have a Mauser pistol that can fire continuously......"

The soldiers immediately recounted the equipment of the soldiers of the special service battalion they had seen.

"Nani?

Dirt Eight Road actually has such good equipment? ”

Shiro Okamura couldn't believe it at all.

But these routs all said this in unison, and he had to believe it.

asked these routs to be escorted down, Okamura Shiro couldn't help but ask his deputy:

"Shiina-kun, do you think the words of these cowards are credible?"

"Your Excellency, I don't think it matters.

We've been on the road all night, and it's time to rest and eat. ”

Shiina Hiroshi said ambitiously: Didn't you decide to protect your life a long time ago?

It's none of your business how the weapons and equipment of the dirt are located, and you don't plan to catch up anyway.

He and Shiro Okamura actually know very well that since the Dirt Eight Road has been withdrawn, there is a high probability that they will enter the mountain.

If their wing goes into the mountains to encircle and suppress, it must be ordered by the division and regimental headquarters, otherwise if it suffers losses, it will be Okamura Shiro, the wing commander, and himself, the chief of staff of the wing, who will be unlucky.

Shiro Okamura nodded when he heard Shiina Hirono say this.

"Yanxi, let the telegraph operator send this information to His Excellency the division commander, and we will rest in this Heyuan County first."

……

Shiro Okamura's telegram was soon sent to the headquarters of Mizuzumi's 37th Division.

When the division commander Kento Hirata saw that the more than 1,000 people of the Sato Brigade had really been wiped out, he was so angry that he split the staff officer who sent the telegram in half.

Blood splattered the face of the chief of staff next to him, Jing Heng Jingzhi.

"Satoga, this shit!

The great cause of the empire is completely ruined in the hands of these wasters! ”

Hirata Kento scolded while wiping his Heavenly Locust Saber clean with a towel.

Jingzhi Jingzhi felt a chill in his heart, and quickly changed the topic:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now Okamura-kun asks if they need to chase them into the mountains, how can I reply to this?"

"Jing Hengjun, what do you think?"

Kento Hirata's eagle-like eyes stared at Jingzhi Iyoko, which suddenly made him feel a little hairy.

Jingheng Jingzhi pondered carefully, and thought that the strength of the 37th Division was now widely scattered in important places such as Heyuan, Shouxian, Yangyang, and Shuiquan Coal Mine, and that in addition to the 37th Mountain Artillery Wing, there were only some miscellaneous troops such as engineers and baggage soldiers directly under the division and regiment headquarters left in Shuiquan City, and there were not enough available troops at all.

I immediately understood the deep meaning of Kento Hirata's question.

He hurriedly replied:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy situation on Tubalu is unknown, they can take a county town in a few hours, I'm afraid that even if they don't have the strength of a division, at least it's a brigade.

Now that they have fled into the mountains, I think they should still order the 226th Wing to stay in Heyuan County for the time being, and not to pursue rashly.

Wait for further instructions from the command of the First Army.

In addition, next to Heyuan County is Shou County, this county, we only have two squadrons of troops stationed, even more empty, in case of a sneak attack by the Eighth Road, then the connection between Yuci and Shuiquan will be cut off, and the situation in the entire northwest of Jin will be very bad at that time.

Okamura-kun's wing stayed in Heyuan, and it was also convenient to support Shou County nearby. ”

Seeing that this guy understood what he meant, Kento Hirata was immediately very satisfied, and hurriedly smiled a little:

"Yoshi, although I don't agree with Iyoko-kun's idea, since you are the chief of staff of the 37th Division, I will still respect your idea.

Send a telegram to General Shinozuka to decide! ”

Seeing that this guy was both standing and standing, Jingheng Keishi kept rolling his eyes in his heart.

But because the other party is a lieutenant general, and he is only a major general, he can only bow honestly and listen to orders, and go down to work.
