Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 292 Wrath (third update!)

Now that he has the most basic judgment on the enemy, Major Aso has nothing to fear.

Frowning, he ordered: "Pursue, catch up with the Eighth Route Army, and destroy them!"

"There are not many of them, as long as we catch up with them, we will win, and it is a sure win!"

After more than 1000 days, the puppet army had just rushed forward less than 500 meters, and a burst of gunfire broke Major Aso's dream.

Nine heavy machine guns, more than a dozen light machine guns, and more than 200 rifles fired together.In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty of the devils who rushed to the front fell down.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops immediately fell to the ground, wanting to fight back.

However, the firepower fired by the independent regiment was too fierce. Even if they were lying on the ground, the swishing bullets continued to kill them.

As for counterattack, it is impossible.

Major Aso, who was walking in the middle of the team, was startled at first, and then reacted quickly.

"Artillery squad, heavy machine gun squad, counterattack immediately and suppress the enemy's firepower!"

The Japanese army responded quickly, and mortars and heavy machine guns were immediately set up.But just as they were about to counterattack, the dense machine gun fire on the opposite side stopped.

"What's going on?" Major Aso asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It seems that the Eighth Route Army on the other side has retreated!" A small team leader next to him doubted!

"Retreat? How is it possible?" Major Aso asked with a disbelieving expression.

But in order to catch up with the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, Major Aso still chose to believe it, and then quickly ordered: "Imperial Association Army First Company, attack immediately, rush up to see if the Eighth Route Army has really retreated, attack immediately!"

Within a few minutes, the company commander of the Imperial Association Army rushed over with excitement on his face: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army standing in front has been repulsed by us!"

Seeing Major Aso's brows suddenly wrinkled, and then staring at him in disbelief, the company commander quickly changed his words!
"We didn't beat them back, but the Eighth Route Army retreated on their own initiative, without leaving a single body behind. Shall we continue to hunt them down!"

Major Aso scolded with a look of resentment: "Needless to say, your troops lead the vanguard, and the others follow. You must catch up with the Eighth Route Army that just retreated and destroy them!"

Anyone who understands knows that the Eighth Route Army that everyone is chasing and killing does not want to fight them desperately.

Instead, he took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, used firepower to kill himself as much as possible, and then retreated after hitting.In this case, whoever walks in the front may become the target of the Eighth Route Army's next round of massacres.

The company commander didn't expect that his own false report on the military situation would bring him such an ending.

I was very reluctant to accept this task, but faced with Major Aso's eyes that could almost kill people, I could only swallow the rejection I was about to say, and then replied unwillingly: "Please don't worry, sir, I will lead the troops immediately." Open the way for the main force, and hunt down the Eighth Route Army who attacked us!"

"Yoxi!" Major Aso's tense facial expression finally relaxed, and he began to give orders.

"The troops continued to pursue the Eighth Route Army. The Imperial Association Army went ahead to open the way, and the other troops followed suit!"

For a whole night, the more than 1000 people led by Major Aso were exhausted.

Zeng Quan and Zhang Qing cooperated with each other and kept beating the devils who were chasing behind with firepower, or counterattacking them, trying to eliminate them as much as possible.

As for the two mortar companies, no matter how the Japanese counterattacked, the interruption of the shelling of the two companies did not exceed half an hour.

One hour before dawn, Zeng Quan directly led the troops out of the battlefield to avoid damage to the troops after the Japanese planes arrived.

Kato, who hadn't rested all night and was nervous, relaxed as soon as the two planes arrived, and slumped in his seat.

However, this relaxation did not last long.

Major Aso reported with his head down as soon as he entered the command post with a gunshot wound.

"Sir, the humble position has failed your high expectations and failed to complete the task, please punish me sir!"

Dazuo Kato's face suddenly became serious: "Baga, I planned to ask you to lead troops to destroy the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on us, but what did you do? The Eighth Route Army was not eliminated, and you lost troops instead! You know that the shelling last night, How much did we lose?"

"Chief of Staff, tell our Major Aso!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff, who shouldered the rank of lieutenant assistant, had a gloomy face from the beginning to the end.

The transportation troops lost so much supplies at the transfer station. As the chief of staff of the transfer station garrison, he himself also bears the unshirkable responsibility.

"A total of 105 carts full of various supplies were parked at the transfer station last night."

"During the bombardment, the ammunition of 25 carts was directly blown up or killed, and another 22 carts were bombed, and some of them were all destroyed. The advantage loss was great!"

"Material losses are still secondary. After analysis, the Eighth Route Army used two artillery companies and 154 mortars, and fired more than 51 shells at us. Nearly 300% of the shells smashed into the camp area of ​​​​the transfer station. The garrison brought huge casualties. Excluding the troops you took away, [-] imperial soldiers were killed and [-] were injured in the camp area alone. The loss of the Imperial Association Army was even greater, with more than [-] casualties!"

Seeing Major Aso keep his head down and not speak, Kato became even more angry.

"Why don't you say anything, Mr. Aso, it's your turn next. At that time, you swore to me that you would wipe out the Eighth Route Army that attacked us. Even though you didn't complete the mission, I still want to know your achievements and losses!"

Major Aso could only bite the bullet and answer: "We checked the battlefield after dawn, and only found 49 corpses of the Eighth Route Army!"

"How much, I didn't hear clearly!" Kato Dazuo asked very dissatisfied.

Major Aso knew that the commander had heard clearly, but in order to vent his anger and dissatisfaction, he deliberately asked this question so as to embarrass himself.

However, the rank of officials crushed people to death, especially in the highly hierarchical Japanese army, and Major Aso did not have the guts to disobey military orders.

Although his face was flushed from being suppressed, Major Aso still lowered his head and replied: "49 corpses of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Where are our casualties?" Colonel Kato, who was also full of anger, did not intend to let Major Aso go, and continued to question him while staring at him.

"The Imperial Army suffered 217 casualties, and the Imperial Association Army suffered 451 casualties. The death rate exceeded [-]%!" Major Aso couldn't lift his head anymore, and replied in a mosquito-like voice.

Colonel Kato was enraged at once: "Bageya Road, that is to say, you only killed 800 Eighth Route Army with nearly 49 casualties!"

"Hey, Commander, please punish!" Major Aso had no confidence at all.

Kato Dazuo cursed angrily: "Punishment? Can punishment bring hundreds of warriors back to life?"
