Chapter 1052 I didn't do anything immoral!
Terauchi Hisaichi has not seen Zhou Weiguo for the past few days.
But Hirata Ichiro had clearly told him that Zhou Weiguo was considering their opinion.
He didn't know what decision Zhou Weiguo would make, but he hoped that Zhou Weiguo would take into account the situation he was facing.
He was in command of the 4th Army, but that didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted. He also had to make adjustments based on the wishes of the General Headquarters. Otherwise, he might be transferred to another location.
"General, Zhou Weiguo and Miss Xiuling have arrived." Terauchi Hisaichi's adjutant came to his side.
Terauchi Hisaichi, who had been thinking about this matter, looked up and hummed in agreement. "It seems it's time for us to get results."
Zhou Weiguo and Asaka Shurei walked side by side. After entering the room, they exchanged pleasantries, and then Zhou Weiguo expressed his opinion.
Terauchi Hisaichi nodded; "This is the right thing to do. It's not just that you need to give the headquarters a choice, but I also need to give them a choice here."
After saying that, he led Zhou Weiguo to the map and said, "Zhou Jun is considered one of the most promising young generals in the city. In your opinion, if we are to launch an attack on them, the best direction to look is in that direction."
After withdrawing from Delhi, the British troops retreated south and northwest, and constructed defensive fortifications.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Weiguo said, "My personal opinion is that we should attack in the northwest direction. There are two reasons for this. First, in addition to the British army, there is also our mountain city in the northwest. We need to consider that you may attack us from the west from the relatively flat northwest, which would be more disadvantageous for us. Therefore, we may send troops to assist you. Second, it would give Winston a wrong judgment. Your attack from the northwest would also make him make a wrong judgment."
"Attack the Northwest?"
“No…” Zhou Weiguo shook his head; “The Northwest is just one, what I really want to fight is the South.”
South?
Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Zhou Weiguo; "Why?"
"It's very simple. The situation in the south is unfavorable to you. We need to advance and occupy advantageous terrain. Only in this way can it be easier for you to defend in the future. Therefore, this time we need to use a feint attack."
Terauchi Hisaichi remained silent. Zhou Weiguo looked at him and said, "You can consider this matter first. I need to go back. After all, this is no longer something I can decide on my own. I need to go back and report on this matter."
Terauchi Hisaichi nodded; "Alright, then I'll make arrangements to send you to Kaifeng."
It's very close to the Fifth War Zone, and several high-ranking generals from the mountain city are in Kaifeng, so sending him there will definitely be the right thing to do.
"Okay, you guys think it over. By the way, I'll get my hands on their troop deployment map and stuff. That way, our attack will be much easier."
Not easy.
It really wasn't easy.
At the Fifth War Zone Command Headquarters, Little Zhuge brought the latest news from the Independent Brigade to Commander Li's office; "You probably don't even know what these guys have done."
What did they do?
Little Zhuge sat to the side; "Unable to deal with the 14th Division itself, these guys went over and started dealing with the troops on its left and right flanks."
Haha ...
Commander Li put his hands behind his back; "The men under Zhou Weiguo are indeed all quite unreliable, but their methods are the most effective."
"Yes, this kid is full of tricks when it comes to fighting. He doesn't play by the rules, and his men are the same way. They can take the enemy by surprise and make them suffer."
"How many days have they been gone?" Commander Li asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"It's been a few days, hasn't it?"
How many days?
This means that they have now entered enemy territory and are even taking action against them.
Ha ha……
Commander Li smiled and said, "I really want to know what kind of expression Tani Hisao will have when he finds out that he is alright while the rest of the troops are in trouble."
3rd Division, Fujita Brigade, Ueno Regiment.
Regiment Commander Ueno received a message that the patrol squad had not returned. This surprised him, as his patrols were conducted according to routes and schedules. The fact that the squad had not returned made him realize that something was wrong, and he immediately dispatched search and rescue personnel.
"Is he back?" Ueno asked his adjutant as he stepped out the door.
The adjutant shook his head; "The regimental commander hasn't arrived yet, but I estimate they should be back soon."
Ding ding ding... Ding ding...
The phone rings.
The two men turned their heads and glanced at each other. The adjutant immediately went over and took the phone to inquire about the situation.
"Commander, the patrol has run into trouble."
He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. Ueno nodded silently, waiting for his adjutant's report.
"Commander, our patrol was attacked by the enemy, who despicably cut off their heads and hung them on tree branches with ropes."
Nani?
Ueno thought it was impossible.
The enemy couldn't possibly do such a thing, judging from the adjutant's confident demeanor. He pointed outside, still unsure, and said, "Let's go take a look."
When Ueno arrived, the soldiers who had come looking for him had already removed the head and other parts, and several military doctors were sewing the head back together.
"Who did this?" Ueno looked at the soldiers who died with their eyes wide open, and he trembled with rage. Since he became the regimental commander, although there had been some losses in battle, this was too cruel to kill his own soldiers and then cut off their heads.
Such a cruel method is worse than that of an animal.
Moreover, I haven't been here for very long, so why am I being treated like this?
"Commander, so far we have not found any clues. We only judge that this was done by the Mountain City army. The bullets that killed our Imperial soldiers were, according to our judgment, from submachine guns, which are commonly used by the Mountain City army."
The adjutant went over and asked him some questions before coming to his side.
Has the enemy infiltrated?
No, that's not important. He just wants to know why the other party is so cruel.
"Report to the brigade command that a small enemy detachment has secretly entered our rear area. They are extremely ruthless. Remind the brigade commander to be careful and prevent them from getting their hands on us."
Upon receiving the news, the brigade commander immediately reported it to the division.
Meanwhile, at the 3rd Division headquarters, Sakata, as the division commander, had received news from another brigade and another independent regiment under its command.
Similarly, the messages received were similar.
After putting down the telegram, he asked his chief of staff with a puzzled look, "I don't think I've done anything heinous, have I?"
