Chapter 225: No reinforcements, but we still have the 4th Division
In Teng County, the battalion headquarters was in ruins. The adjutant brought today's lunch on a dirty plate.
"It's the dried vegetable leaf soup again."
Seya Hikaru looked at the food brought in by the adjutant, frowned and glanced at his adjutant and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't we have something else?"
He has eaten this leaf soup for several meals and really doesn't want to eat it anymore, even if it's just a steamed bun.
The adjutant felt aggrieved as well. The troops had started rationing a few days ago and almost all the food in the city had been eaten. If they continued to eat, the army horses would be killed.
"Your Excellency General, we are running out of food." The adjutant pointed with some grievance. He would not tell Seya Hikaru, but that was already good enough.
Hikaru Seya sighed and picked up the bowl of soup. "I am a major general of the empire. I have lived a life of wealth and glory, and I have been invincible in every battle. But I never thought that I would be plotted against by a group of peasants in Teng County. This is really the greatest shame of my life."
Who said it wasn't? The adjutant muttered beside him. However, he didn't care what he said. As an adjutant, he still had to comfort him. "General, everything is only temporary. Our reinforcements will be here soon. Tomorrow at the latest, they will be able to..."
"They can't come." The chief of staff ran in like a madman and slapped his thigh; "Our reinforcements were wiped out by those mud-legged people again."
There was a clang.
The bowl in Seya Hikaru's hand fell to the ground. After a long moment, he asked in disbelief, "You...what did you say? Our reinforcements were defeated. Where are they?"
If he hadn't asked the second question, it would have been fine, but after asking the second question, the chief of staff wanted to curse.
He had seen cunning people before, but he had never seen anyone as cunning as this.
"Damn it, the 74th Army ambushed us again at Sandaguai. Our reinforcements were not prepared at all, so they wiped out most of them in one go. And this news came from the air force."
The second ambush did not change the location. Seya Mitsuru was stunned for a long time, then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.
He swore that all the shame in this life or the next would be borne by her today.
Seya Detachment, it’s over.
"General, we have killed their reinforcements twice in a row. I guess they have no more reinforcements coming. They are finished. General, all the soldiers of my independent regiment will invade and kill their way into Fujiwara Castle and wipe out those bastards of the Seya Detachment." Zhou Weiguo stood in front of Yu Huohuo, who was crossing his legs and eating canned food happily, and asked for a fight with an excited look on his face.
When the battle was about to end, he came back with only one purpose: to fight, charge in, and avenge the 122nd Division.
As for the finishing work, with Ono there, he believed that if there was a wire over there, Ono would get it back.
Yu Huohuo glanced at Zhou Weiguo, then lowered his head and continued eating.
"Commander, don't just eat, talk instead. My independent regiment can fight as soon as we get here." There's no need to rest.
The 51st and 58th Divisions had some dignity. They would not tear off the Japanese soldiers' clothes or knock out their front teeth, but they themselves were shameless.
This kind of laborious work can be done by yourself. In addition to the medical company, the independent regiment also has radio soldiers who are capable of doing this kind of work.
Yu Huohuo ate the canned food in a few big mouthfuls, threw the can box away, wiped his mouth with the towel handed to him by the adjutant, and hummed; "When did I say that we would annihilate them?"
what……
Zhou Weiguo stared at Yu Huo Huo from head to toe with his eyes wide open. If he didn't know this person well, he would have believed that this person was a bodhisattva or a kind person. But he was not that kind of person.
"Commander, you...you..."
Yu Huohuo stood up and walked to the map, waving Zhou Weiguo to come to him. "Look at the situation. Are you sure you want me to order the Seya Detachment to be destroyed? I can indeed kill them now, but can you guarantee that the several thousand people in your independent regiment, especially those beasts in your quartermaster department, will not curse me behind my back and shoot me in the back?"
The three words "shooting from behind" frightened Zhou Weiguo so much that he quickly shook his head. "General, our love for you is like a surging river, it's simply..."
"Finish looking at the map before you talk." Yu Huohuo took the opportunity to sit on the ammunition box, picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and interrupted Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and stopped talking for a moment.
If the Seya detachment was really killed in Fuji County, although he would not shoot secretly, he would definitely curse Ono in his heart, and he would probably make a paper figurine to make a military commander.
The Isogai Division's reinforcements were defeated twice, and the Japanese army could no longer withdraw troops from the south to the north, and there were no more reinforcements around Fujin County.
No, it’s not that there are no reinforcements. There is one more, the 4th Division, which is now in Jining for rest and recuperation.
The 4th Division had arrived in Jining for some time, but for some unknown reason, it had not moved south. Zhou Weiguo and Ono estimated that even the Japanese high-ranking officers themselves did not dare to believe what these people would do if they were allowed to move south.
"Commander, do you mean that they will transfer the 4th Division to the south?"
Yu Huohuo put the teacup aside and laughed, "Do they have any choice?"
"Bakayashi." As the commander of the Japanese army's northern front, all the training that Terauchi Hisaichi had accumulated over the years completely collapsed at this moment.
The second reinforcement was defeated by the enemy again, and the place where they were ambushed was actually in the same place.
He wanted to curse someone, but he didn't know who to curse.
He knew that the enemy would definitely intercept him, but he never expected that they would ambush him at the original place.
It was unheard of that both wings suffered heavy losses here.
"Your Excellency General, Teng County is now in danger. According to the reconnaissance report, the Fifth War Zone Headquarters has withdrawn an army from Xuzhou and is marching rapidly to Teng County. Although the 74th and 41st Armies that originally attacked have withdrawn from the battlefield, they have surrounded Teng County. It seems that they are waiting for this army to arrive and then annihilate the Seya Detachment." The chief of staff next to him really didn't want to stab him.
He needed to report the latest situation to Terauchi Hisaichi, and then make the latest judgment and issue orders.
Feeling angry, Terauchi Hisaichi stood up and came to the map. Xuzhou used to be the easiest place for him to see. Taking it was his mission. But now, Xuzhou was no longer the place he paid most attention to, but Fuji County. Thousands of people from the Seya Detachment were surrounded in Fuji County.
He had to rescue them, otherwise it would become a stain on his career as a senior general, or even on his entire life.
There are no troops to send.
Terauchi Hisaichi was in a trance and discovered a very embarrassing problem.
Biting his cheek, he looked at the map back and forth, wondering where he could withdraw troops to attack and support the Seya Detachment.
The Chief of Staff pointed at the map and said, "We can send the 4th Division to the south to provide assistance."
"Them?" Terauchi Juichi wiped his face in despair.
He...he doesn't dare to use this group of people.
