Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2185 Kitahara Hiroyuki volunteers!

But seeing that General Takeda was mentally prepared, the Japanese communications officer continued to report, informing Takeda of the heavy losses suffered by Sato, Takahashi and Yamada's battalions in the defeat.

Fortunately, Takeda was mentally prepared, otherwise he would have had to rush over at this time.

"Bakayaro, what on earth is this Sato doing? How could such a small guerrilla unit suffer such heavy losses?"

  Takeda was so angry that he cursed loudly, because more than 2,000 imperial soldiers died just like that? And they died at the hands of a small guerrilla group?

So how many people are there in this guerrilla unit? Is there an army?

They didn't suffer such heavy losses when they fought against the Fourth Army, right?

Takeda said angrily: "Contact Sato immediately. I want to talk to him directly."

The communications officer apologized, "Sir, Colonel Sato and his men are still in the mountains, so the call cannot be reached."

Takeda cursed: "These idiots, send him a telegram and ask him to write a detailed report to me, otherwise even if he is a member of the Sato family, I will punish him severely."

"Hi!"

The Japanese communications officer took the order and immediately went to send a telegram to Sato.

At this time, Takeda picked up the phone on the desk and called Lushunkou.

Kitahara Hiroyuki was still playing badly. Although the sun had already set, he was still sitting on a recliner in the yard outside the office building.

Matsushita continued to fan Kitahara Hiroyuki with the fan.

Although the sun had set and it was getting cooler outside, Kitahara Hiroyuki still asked Adjutant Matsushita to fan him continuously, even though he had sneezed more than a dozen times in a row.

However, at this moment, a signalman came running to report: "Sir, General Takeda called."

Kitahara Hiroyuki opened his eyes slightly and sighed in boredom: "It seems that Mr. Sato did not disappoint me. He really suffered heavy losses."

Adjutant Matsushita asked in confusion: "Sir, why did you guess that Lord Sato was defeated from Lord Takeda's phone call?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki laughed dryly and stood up, saying, "Because of the time. If the battle had gone well, my teacher should have called me earlier. But the call came only at this time. Those three guys, Sato, Takahashi, and Yamada, must have been defeated to the point where they had no choice but to ask for help. Otherwise, how could they be willing to tell the truth?"

Matsushita suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."

Immediately, Matsushita asked again: "Then, sir, what should we do next?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki thought for a moment and said, "Let me first listen to what my teacher says. Also, I want to know how many casualties Sato and his men have suffered, and whether they still have the strength to fight the guerrillas."

"Your Excellency is wise."

Matsushita flattered Kitahara Hiroyuki, who smiled appreciatively, then walked quickly towards the office building and jogged up the stairs, not at all as lazy as before.

Obviously, the reason why he was so lazy before was entirely because his teacher and Colonel Sato and others did not pay enough attention to him.

But now it's different, because he knows that he might be able to command Sato, Takahashi, Yamada and others.

So he quickly ran into his office, picked up the phone and said, "Teacher, this is Kitahara." Takeda got straight to the point, "Sato and his men were defeated, and the losses were very heavy. Yamada also died, so you are right. Our enemies cannot be ignored. Tell me everything you know. I want to know what you think."

"Hi!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki bowed slightly, and then explained in detail to General Takeda what happened in Port Arthur that day, as well as the detailed process of the enemy's surprise attack on the railway garrison.

Kitahara Hiroyuki said that he inferred from this that the opponent not only had extremely strong individual combat capabilities, but was also a very outstanding commander, the best commander I have seen in many years, and was on par with the three heroes of the new generation of the Empire of Japan.

General Takeda said: "Let's not talk about the three heroes anymore. They have all died in the Central China region at the hands of a man called Duanwu."

"Hi!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki responded. He also knew that this was a shame for the empire, and almost no one was willing to mention it now.

At this time, General Takeda continued to ask: "What do you think now? If you are asked to assist Sato and Takahashi, how confident are you that you can annihilate the Chunjianghao guerrillas?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, if I were to assist Sato and Takahashi, I think my chances of winning would be almost zero."

General Takeda asked in confusion: "Is the enemy so strong? Are the three of you no match for him alone?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki quickly explained: "Teacher, that's not what I meant. Sato-kun and Takahashi-kun are both very proud people. If I were to assist them, I'm afraid they would find it difficult to agree with me, and it would have the opposite effect."

Takeda frowned slightly and sighed.

He knew what was going on. Sato and Takahashi were both people who kept their word, and if Hiroyuki Kitahara was asked to help, it would be difficult for them to listen to his opinions.

But should Kitahara Hiroyuki be asked to command Sato and Takahashi? I wonder what these two people will think.

But after thinking for a moment, General Takeda asked: "If you were asked to command this battle, what would you do?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki thought for a moment and said, "Then I have to go to the scene to see if Sato's Battalion and Takahashi's Battalion are still capable of fighting. And I need at least one battalion of troops for reinforcement."

Takeda refused and said, "A battalion of troops, that's impossible. I don't have that many troops to send to you right now, only two squadrons at most."

Kitahara Hiroyuki nodded and said, "Two squadrons will do. I will take my men tonight to meet up with Sato and Takahashi, and let the teacher's reinforcements stay in Port Arthur. Our enemies are very cunning. If we let them know that Port Arthur is short of troops, they may attack Port Arthur."

Takeda nodded and said, "Youxi, this is the best."

However, at this time, Kitahara Hiroyuki said, "Teacher, I still need air support. I have been to the Evil Valley area, and the terrain there is very complicated. Even if I force them into the valley, it will not be eliminated in a short time, so I need reconnaissance planes to monitor them in real time, and it would be better if there were bombers to harass them and make them exhausted."

General Takeda thought for a moment and said, "All the planes have been transferred to central China, and only a small number of air forces are on guard against the Soviets. So, I'll go and see if I can get you a few planes."

Kitahara Hiroyuki bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I will never let you down!"

  General Takeda hung up the phone with satisfaction, but he never expected that in the end, he would still have to let his most valued student clean up the mess! .
