Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 191 I know, but I don’t want to

"Brigade Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Nakakuma has led his team back from the breakout."

"What?" Nara Yukio stood up in surprise when he heard Nakakuma Naomasa retreat. What happened? He didn't receive the telegram.

Half a minute later, Nara Yukio saw Nakakuma Naomasa.

"Brigade Commander!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Nakakuma, how did you break through? Did you bring back the heavy weapons?" Yukio Nara asked directly.

In the Japanese army, the importance of heavy weapons such as artillery is beyond imagination. If so many artillery pieces were lost at once, Nara Yukio himself would probably be the one to suffer the consequences.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the artillery and baggage are still in the small camp, but I have blocked all the wheels. The Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to transport them away in a short time. If we counterattack and retake the small camp, we can recapture the baggage and artillery."

Nakakuma Naomasa took the blame on Nara Yukio without waiting for his reaction.

After hearing what Nakakuma Naomasa said, Nara Yukio almost vomited blood.

Putting aside the baggage, there were three Type 3 mountain cannons and two Type 94 mountain cannons in the small school camp. If so many artillery pieces were lost at once, I would not be able to get promoted, and even if I could continue to be the brigade commander, it would mean that the previous gift was not in vain.

"Nakakuma Naomasa! How could you just abandon the baggage!" Nara Yukio said angrily.

"Smith! I thought that with the ability of the brigade commander, we could easily recapture the small colonel's camp!" Nakakuma Naomasa stood at attention and bowed.

Thank you for thinking so highly of me! Nara Yukio was so angry that he clenched the knife handle tightly.

"Lieutenant Colonel Nakakuma! According to the Locust Army's practice, if a cannon is lost, one should commit seppuku!" said Nara Yukio, gritting his teeth.

"Smimasai!"

"When do you want to commit seppuku? I can be your kaishakunin!" Yukio Nara couldn't wait to chop off Nakakuma Naomasa's head.

Someone has to be held responsible for this matter. We can't let the brigade commander be responsible, right?

"Smith! " Nakakuma Naomasa seemed not to hear what Nara Yukio said and just kept apologizing.

Yukio Nara looked at the stubborn Nakakuma Naomasa with his eyes seeming to be smoldering with fire.

But if Nakakuma Naomasa refuses to commit seppuku, Nara Yukio will have no way to deal with him. Even if the matter is reported to his superiors, Nakakuma Naomasa will at most be transferred back to the reserve.

This is also the reason why Zhongxiong Zhizheng dared to come back. After all, the unspoken rules are unspoken rules. As long as he can withstand the order and not commit suicide, others can only act according to the rules.

I am not retreating in the face of a fierce battle. There may be 400 to Eighth Route Army soldiers in the darkness outside, and I have only people. It will be a great achievement if I can break through with more than troops after a hard battle.

Moreover, before retreating, favorable conditions were created for recovering supplies. As for whether we can get them back, that is your business as brigade commander.

"Bakayaro! Get out!" Nara Yukio shouted, pointing at the door.

"Smith.Hayi!" Zhongxiong Zhizheng immediately retreated.

Anyway, the probability of me continuing to be the independent captain is very small, so there is no need to say any more nonsense.

Looking at Nakakuma Naomasa's back, Nara Yukio's teeth were chattering.

"Mr. Toyama! Go and interrogate the withdrawn soldiers to see if the situation is as Nakakuma Naomasa said." Nara Yukio ordered.

"Hai!"

Ryotaro Toyama asked around among the retreating troops, but naturally he found nothing.

Although these soldiers were brainwashed by Bushido, they were not fools and knew that if they talked nonsense they would be assigned to the 'punishment unit' to carry out suicide missions.

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers only talked about how powerful the Eighth Route Army was, how difficult it was for them to break through, and what preparations they had made to recapture the Xiaoxiao Camp, etc.
After hearing Toyama Ryotaro's report, Nara Yukio was helpless. It was impossible for him to send his entire army to retake Xiaoxiaoying. He knew the strength of the Eighth Route Army very well and why he blocked the Eighth Route Army's attack during the day. If a decisive battle was launched at night, the artillery of both sides would lose 60% to 70% of its strength. This would be like using one's own weakness to attack the other's strength, which would be a big disadvantage for him.

In the end, Yukio Nara only sent Ryotaro Toyama to lead a team to fight the Eighth Route Army. After discovering that the Eighth Route Army had tight defense and the reinforcements were coming very quickly, he gave up the plan to recapture the small camp.

Early the next morning, eight bombers flew over from Taiyuan.

At this time, only half of the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were still on the battlefield, and the rest of the troops had all withdrawn from the battle.

After arriving at the battlefield, the Japanese planes did not launch bombing on the Eighth Route Army on the ground. Their purpose was to cover the Third Mixed Brigade Command to meet with the Third and Fifth Battalions, and then withdraw from the battlefield to the west.

If the bombs were used up directly, the deterrent effect of the aircraft would be greatly reduced.

Chen Chengxing did not try to stop the Japanese from breaking out. He just ordered the mortars of the New Second Regiment to fire another round of fire at the Japanese, then quickly cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew from the battle.

By the time the two groups of Japanese troops joined forces and wanted to counterattack under the cover of aircraft, the New Second Regiment had already entered the mountains.

As the counterattack failed, Nara Yukio had no choice but to continue retreating. He did not have the courage to lead the team into the mountains.

The 3rd Mixed Brigade had fought several battles in succession and had lost more than half of its troops. If they rashly went into the mountains at this time, they would be in trouble.

"The entire army retreats to Wuyi County!" ordered Nara Yukio.

At this point, he no longer had any hope for the military officer Tianhuang's attendant, and all Nara Yukio wanted now was revenge.

After returning to Wuyi County, Nara Yukio made some connections, readjusted the location of the Third Brigade, and then deployed all his intelligence forces to Dayun Mountain.

After both sides withdrew from the battle, the system's voice rang out.

[The battle is over, battle evaluation: victory!]

【Obtained 3420 honor points. 】

[Current Honor Points: 65049/100000.]

[Side quest: Independent 3rd Mixed Brigade (repel). Completed! ]

【Rewards are waiting to be claimed! 】

[Rewards are being distributed]

[Skill points gained: 2]

Looking at the 2 skill points he got, Chen Chengxing felt a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do. The 8rd Mixed Brigade was trapped, and the Japanese rushed to support them like crazy, even sending out planes.

These eight planes were not a small number for the Japanese. When they attacked Xuzhou, they only dispatched fifty or sixty bombers, and they fought in rotation.

That was a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.

Fortunately, we did manage to tear off a large piece of fat from the Japanese this time, so it wasn't all in vain.

When Chen Chengxing left Ji Zhong, the mission of supporting Ji Zhong was completed. After adding the 2 skill points he obtained at that time to his insight, his insight had already reached level 6.

So now he can add points to tactical command again, but due to restrictions, Chen Chengxing can only put one skill point on tactical command and one skill point on insight.

[Tactical Command: LV6 (Mastery)]

[Insight: LV7 (Reaching the Pinnacle)]
