Rise from the sword

Chapter 598

"General, captain, those three deserters are inside.

Dingzhou.

No.15 brigade resident.

A temporary detention place transformed from a private house, under the leadership of a devil staff officer, the brigade commander Tsutomu Tanaka, and No. 70 Seventh Regiment leader Marukawa Daisuke came here.

"Let's go and have a look."

Tanaka, who was in a particularly comfortable mood today, decided to have a chat with the three deserters.

He wanted to see if he could win over the three deserters.

Logically speaking, he is an imposing brigade commander, and he doesn't need to do this kind of trivial matter, so someone will naturally do it.

But today, Tsutomu Tanaka is in a really beautiful mood.

Because not long ago, he personally received many batches of personnel sent by Yamamoto to confirm the results of the battle, and even Yamamoto came over in person in the end, and invited them to watch the captured materials and explain the battle process.

Although it took three hours,

But his huge "credit" has been confirmed, and even the story of how to play this "victory" seems reasonable because of the cooperation from the opposite independent team.

This victory did not arouse anyone's doubts.

Presumably by now, this battle report has been sent to Tianlocust, the base camp.

In the brigade, all disobedient thorns were also removed without causing any problems. Now, those bodies have been burned and buried after taking pictures, and the dust has settled.

He, Tanaka Tsutomu, is the new hero of the empire.

His future career has already started the first step, he Tanaka Tsutomu is about to start to rise.

So Tanaka decided to talk to these three people in person to see if they were like-minded and could become the building blocks of his great career.

creak...
The door was opened, revealing the three of Maeda Kichiri who were sluggish inside.

······
Now let the time go back to before, that is, before Maeda Kichiri was arrested.

During the third detention, the three of Maeda Kichiri were so emotionally broken that they wanted to commit suicide several times.

Of course, during the period, the three were detained together, and although the conditions were still not good this time, it was a little better than last time, which was one of the reasons why the three could persevere.

During the detention, the three learned from the painful experience and summed up the experience of three failures.

In addition to bad luck, there may be other reasons.

Every time, when they learned that the three of them ran from Tai | Yuan, no, they broke out from the siege, they couldn't help but imprison them, probably not just to guard against spies, but because of General Yamamoto's mentor.

General Yoshio Shinozuka also died in the Battle of Tai|hara.

The entire First Army was also destroyed in the Battle of Taiyuan. Several divisions, almost none of the formed troops escaped, and they were all buried in the surrounding positions of Taiyuan with General Yoshio Shinozuka.

In order to please General Yamamoto, who is in full swing, and to guard against spies, the three of them were so unlucky that they were imprisoned every time.

"If there is a chance in the future."

As the squadron leader, Maeda Kichiri has the most flexible mind. During his detention, he came up with a solution:

"We have to change our status to Shijiazhuang's garrison or other troops. We must not be there, or we may be imprisoned."

"Yamamoto's influence is too great."

The other two agreed.

Kazuki Yamamoto has too much influence, not only to obtain a lot of resources for the empire, but also to create a new method of recruit training, which is highly valued by the base camp and the locust.

As long as Yamamoto still exists, these remnant soldiers from Taiyuan will not be able to live a good life. Even if they are cleared of the suspicion of spies, they will inevitably be excluded when they enter the army, and finally die as cannon fodder on the front line.

Knowing that it was Yamamoto's fault that caused several of them to be imprisoned again and again, they had been away for nearly a month, and couldn't eat or sleep well for a month. They also felt resentful towards Yamamoto.

Everything they've been suffering lately, it's all because of damn Yamamoto.

"Next, the independent regiment will continue to attack."

Maeda Jiri also has ideas about what troops to disguise as:

"At that time, the 118th Division will be defeated. Let's find a chance, get some ID cards, and pretend to be the 118th Division stationed around Dingzhou."

In the past few days, they have already known that the 118th division in Dingzhou who imprisoned them belonged to Yamamoto Kazuki's direct line division, and was established by Yamamoto in Ping'an County.

"Where are we going next?"

A devil then asked.

If they pretended to be ghosts from the 118th Division, they would not be able to stay around Baoding. Once people found out, they would be in big trouble. The Locust Army's methods of disguising spies were not so ruthless.

"It's simple."

Worthy of being a person who escaped from Tai | Yuan, Maeda Kichiri observed carefully and thought clearly:

"When the identity card is in hand, let's go to the two wings."

"I have observed that such a huge position cannot be defended by a division. There must be other troops around."

"Whether it's the main force, the local garrison, or the police force, if we are found after losses in the battle against the Independent Regiment, there is a high probability that we will be directly incorporated into the army."

"If the other party wants to send us back to the 118th Division, they should escape halfway."

Maeda Jiri's plan went well.

The independent regiment's attack was large in scale and fast, especially in the frontal position, where half of its forces were concentrated in the attack, so it caused heavy casualties to the 118th Division, which was defending in the frontal position.

The three of them also took advantage of this opportunity to get a suitable identity card, which could even be said to be perfect.

Not only are they similar in age, but even their native places are similar. In this way, the most worrying problem of Maeda Kichiri, the problem of accent is also solved.

This incident also made the three of them feel emotional——

Although they are all natives of the empire, the three of them are not from the same area and are very far apart. One is in Hokkaido and the other is on Honshu Island. It is inconceivable that the three of them have the same hometown identity in the 118th Division.

Generally speaking, imperial divisions recruit recruits in the same place.

The three of them didn't think too much, they just felt a little bit of emotion that they finally got lucky this time.

The new identities were perfectly settled, the three of them learned the lessons of retreating many times, and got food, ready to eat and drink enough before continuing to escape, but as soon as they moved their mouths, they were caught by the No.15 brigade.

Before they had time to report the identities they had just obtained, the three were imprisoned again.

This unusual process made the three of them flustered. Fortunately, three hours later, the door opened, and a few soldiers came in, as well as a major general, a senior officer, and some assistant officers.

"Which unit are you from?"

As soon as he entered the door, Tian Zhongqin asked.

He needed to confirm the identities of the three people in front of him.

There are many troops stationed near Dingzhou. Apart from the 118th Division as the main force and the No.15 Brigade under his command, there are also the remnants of the 121st Division, the former North China Front Army garrison, and some merchant and expatriate troops, and local police forces.

The number of the latter is even quite a lot, but the combat effectiveness is very poor.

But among these troops, except for Yamamoto's confidant, the 118th Division, the rest of the troops can be directly recruited.

As a unit formed by Kazuki Yamamoto himself, although the 118th Division is only a C-type division, this unit is very brainwashed. Most soldiers and officers are full of loyalty to the locust, and there are a large number of Yamamoto's cronies.

If the three people in front of you are members of the 118th Division, you have to be careful!

Of course, not all 118 divisions are diehards, as far as he knows...

"We are the 118th Division, the 134th Infantry Regiment, No...."

Maeda Kichiri hadn't had time to finish his report, but Tanaka Tsutomu's complexion suddenly changed.

The 118th Infantry Regiment of the 134th Division is one of the two most elite regiments of this division. It is said that the regiment captain and the battalion captain are all from Yamamoto’s secret service, and the soldiers are all recruits trained by Yamamoto. Selected elites.

It's a bunch of stubborn people.

"Shut up."

Tian Zhongqin waved his hand directly, and a dozen devil soldiers imprisoned the three of them again.

Maeda Jiri was dumbfounded.

·····
the other side.

Yuchang.

The head of the Sixth Division, Kanda Zheng, has brought his troops here, and has been stationed in place according to the order of Yokoyama Isamu. He is responsible for strengthening the local defense, protecting the smooth flow of the logistics line, and preventing guerrillas from attacking the supply troops.

After all, after the independent regiment came to Song County, the equipment of the guerrillas was changed directly, and the firepower was suddenly outrageous.

But the Sixth Division didn't think so.

As an elite division that once fought head-on with the American soldiers, even though they were beaten up crying and almost wiped out, Kanda Masa and his Sixth Division were still full of arrogance.

This group of people believes that they are people who have experienced big scenes, the top elite troops of the empire who have experienced cruel life-and-death battles, and the real warriors of the locust.

It's okay to let them deal with the mere troops of the Republic of China. Although they are overqualified, they are for the imperial jihad after all, and now they are actually asked to deal with the Kuhaha guerrillas and are responsible for protecting the logistics.

What a shame!

They should fight the strongest Republican army, such as the legendary independent regiment that received foreign aid and established a mechanized army, or go to attack Hengyang, instead of playing hide and seek with the guerrillas here.

For this reason, Kanda is personally calling and negotiating with Yokoyama Isamu, and lodged a solemn protest.

Yokoyama, who was in a fit of anger, didn't bother to explain, and directly suppressed people with his identity, making Kanda Masho yelled and hung up the phone. Afterwards, he directly called the dispatched army commander Hata Shunroku.

But Hata Toshiro ignored him, and just asked him to obey Isamu Yokoyama's orders and wait for the arrival of follow-up heavy weapons, especially anti-aircraft weapons. As a veteran division, the Sixth Division still has a lot of anti-aircraft weapons.

Although he was so angry that he slashed with a knife, Kanda was finally obediently obeying orders.

In the next few days, Kanda received more than a dozen of the latest 40 anti-aircraft guns improved with reference to the 37 anti-aircraft guns of the independent regiment, as well as several new 75 anti-tank guns, and some 105 mountain guns, which greatly enhanced their firepower.

On this day, Kanda Masa also received news from Dingzhou.

"It's just ridiculous."

Seeing this battle report, Kanda directly laughed out loud:

"This is the mechanized unit of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment that wiped out the First Army and besieged Chengde?"

"A group of people who have never seen the world haha."

"The real mechanized troops, are there some tanks and armored vehicles?"

"Even if a farmer has a tank, he is still a farmer. He only knows how to farm the land, but he doesn't understand what modern warfare is."

As a person fighting against the U.S. Army with the fire support of the U.S. Navy, Kanda has always believed that the so-called powerful and terrifying firepower of the so-called Independence Regiment is nothing more than a group of people in the empire who have never seen the world.

Just at this time, another staff officer came over:
"General."

Staff report:

"A group of guerrillas, about 300 in number, was found thirteen kilometers north of Chachang, advancing along the road to Nan County."

"300 guerrillas?"

"Follow the road?"

Hearing this news, Kanda Masaaki laughed angrily:
"Are the guerrillas here so arrogant? How dare they show up on the road?"

"Order."

Kanda Masa's tone changed, murderous:
"The No.20 Three Infantry Regiment annihilated this group of guerrillas."

"Not a single one."

"Hi."

The staff officer quickly went to convey the order.

·····
at the same time.

Song County.

Kong Jie also received a report from the staff:
"Regimental Commander, the county brigades and district squads around Changchang have completed the change of equipment and training, and have initially mastered new weapons. They are currently gathering and approaching Nanxian County. They are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Ah."

Kong Jie nodded in satisfaction.

After he arrived in Song County, he also began to integrate and provide weapons assistance to the surrounding guerrillas.

"Have you given them the new artillery?"

Kong Jie asked suddenly.

On Zhao Jiayu's side, Li Yunlong was recently forming an airborne force, so he replaced it with a new type of artillery for the airborne force to use, but unexpectedly, after testing, this new artillery is very suitable for light-armed guerrillas.

It's a godsend!

"Equipment."

The staff officer smiled and said:

"A total of twenty gates!"
