Chapter 79: The Devil's Target Shift
The next morning, after Hu Bin took them to warm up, he began tactical training in the nearby forest and did not dare to go far.
At this time, the new chief officer who had just arrived in Liuye County, Matsuguan Youyong stood there, listening to Murakami Nakari's report. He had just taken office and was very unaware of the situation here, so he had to listen to what the officers here said.
After listening to the incident for almost two hours, Yoyong, who listened to Murakami Nakari finished what happened, nodded and said, "You said that the Eighth Route Army in the north poses the greatest threat to us. So, do you think we should clean them up now?"
"Master, I advise you not to have this idea. It's not that I'm afraid to fight, but it's not suitable now!" Murakami Naruto said immediately.
"Hmm~?" Song Guan Youyong looked at him in surprise, wondering why he said that.
"The Eighth Route Army in the north is very strong. We only have more than 8oo people. Those puppet troops don't have to expect them to fight against the Eighth Route Army. If we want to fight against the Eighth Route Army, we can only rely on ourselves. You also know the news about the county next door yesterday. Major Wu Tianxiang took two brigades of troops over and was defeated.
Wu Tianxiangta successfully retreated under the desperate protection of his subordinates and lost an artillery squadron of the empire. Our troops are not opponents of the Eighth Route Army in the North and West. Even if they fight, they will win miserably.
The task assigned to us by the empire is to collect food. Our current task is to collect food. Now Shanxi is harvesting wheat, and some of them have been harvested. So, now, what we have to do is to collect food in the east and south.
At present, the task given to us is 10,000 kilograms of wheat. If we don’t hurry up, we may not be able to complete it.” Murakami Naruto suggested to Yoo Yong.
"Yoxi, what you said makes sense. Now we should focus on the tasks assigned to us by our empire. After collecting the food, we will take action against the eighth route!" Songguan Youyong heard this and nodded in agreement.
He didn't want to touch the Eighth Route Army now. The two previous chief officers died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, so he didn't want to be the third one.
"Hi, Captain, if you want to fight the Eighth Route Army, the strength of the county town alone is not enough. You must unite all the county towns in Shanxi, and you must also rely on the support of the brigade headquarters and even the division headquarters.
If we go to fight in one county, then the Eighth Route Army will mobilize troops from several other county towns. Their operations in the mountains are much faster than our troops. After all, this is their hometown. They are familiar with the terrain, and we can only look at the map. We don’t know what terrain it is.
Therefore, if you want to attack the Eighth Route Army in the northwest direction, I suggest that the captain can propose to the brigade and regiment headquarters that the entire Shanxi troops will act together." Murakami Naruto stood there with his head down and said to Matsuguan Youyong.
"Yoxi, I will consider this matter. In this way, this afternoon, you will start collecting food in the southeast direction. As long as you see the food, we must collect it back. If you dare to resist, kill it!" Songguan Youyong explained to Murakami Nakari.
"Hi!" Murakami Naruto nodded immediately and responded.
"Please come to you!" Song Guan Youyong stood up and said to the officers.
"The martial arts fortune will last for a long time!" the officers all stood there and shouted.
After shouting, they went out. At noon, the entire county town's Japanese moved. As soon as they finished lunch, many Japanese were dispatched. However, they didn't have many vehicles. They all pulled out in carriages. After arriving in those villages, they started to grab food from house to house.
If they see women, they will do things about animals. All the villages collected by the Japanese were filled with fire, and there were crying, wailing, and cursing everywhere. But for those Japanese, this seemed to make them more excited. The beast's thoughts and personalities were unresolved by normal people.
In the afternoon, Hu Bin took them to continue training in the forest, and they didn't know about this yet.
At this time, Hu Changgui received a notice and went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting. When Hu Changgui heard this, he immediately rushed there. When he arrived at the battalion headquarters, several company commanders were there, and Wang Cong sat there with anger on his face.
"Battery Commander, Hu Changgui reported!" Hu Changgui stood there and saluted.
"Sit down, you're all here. Look at this. This is the information sent by our underground organization. The Japanese will not come to our side now, but the people in the south and east of Liuye County are suffering. Those beasts!" After Wang Cong handed the information to Hu Changgui and the others, he stood up and lit a cigarette and walked back and forth in the camp, cursing as he walked.
"Those beasts, if you have the ability to come to our side, I will fight with him!" After seeing the information, the second company commander Ye Xiaohua cursed with red eyes.
"Damn it, the damn Japanese are also starting to bully the weak and fear the strong." Hu Changgui saw the information, took out the tobacco and rolled it up, and handed it to the people next to him. They all signaled that he was also rolling it up.
Hu Changgui picked up the rolled tobacco, lit it, looked at Wang Cong and asked, "If you have any instructions, you can tell the battalion commander that you can fight the county town. At worst, you can fight with those Japanese."
"What county town is it? With just our little force, how can we attack the county town? It's useless to capture it, and we can't defend it. When the Japanese come over, they will continue to grab food. This is not a long-term solution." Wang Cong sat down and shook his head very depressedly.
"The regiment headquarters always has an order, just watch the Japanese harm the people everywhere? I can't stand it." Ye Xiaohua looked at Wang Cong and said.
"The regiment headquarters means that we should organize veterans to infiltrate the east and south sides in platoons, help the people kill the Japanese and delay the Japanese!" Wang Cong sat there and said.
"No, the large troops in the east and south are plains. How can we fight with the Japanese? Our legs can beat the Japanese wheels? Besides, one of them lined up and encountered a small team of the Japanese. That would be to die. This would not work!" Hu Changgui immediately said disagreement.
"We all know what you said. What are the solutions now? Is it realistic to attack the county town like you said? The Japanese have more than 80 people in the county town. Now our regiment has more than 300 new recruits and veterans. Do you think we can defeat them?" Wang Cong immediately looked at Hu Changgui and asked.
"Then there is no other way?" Ye Xiaohua asked immediately.
"Just just now, several of us battalion commanders sat on the regiment headquarters and thought about it for two hours. Made had no idea at all. There was no danger to defend in those two directions. Moreover, it was a plain and there was no way to defend. Maybe it was just a battle with the Japanese, and that was a battle, which was very unprofitable! Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, it was unprofitable!" Wang Cong sat there and said worriedly.
"What should I do if Made?" Several other company commanders sat there and were very helpless.
"The order of the regiment headquarters is to draw a platoon of veterans from each company to go to those two directions, and our battalion is to the south, the first battalion is to the east, the second battalion and the fourth battalion are ready for war. Once there is a crisis, we will react immediately. After we persist for a while, if this is still the case, then the second battalion and the fourth battalion are rotated with our two battalions." Wang Cong sat there and said.
Hu Changgui heard this and looked at the other company commanders, and the other company commanders all looked at him. The company commanders knew Hu Changgui, and even said that most of them were the soldiers Hu Changgui led back then. Even if they were not the soldiers he led, they knew that when they were in the army, Hu Changgui was the platoon leader.
They also know why Hu Changgui was promoted slowly, not a problem of ability, but because of Hu Bin.
"Do it, otherwise there is no way. We will draw 50 people out, among which my son Hu Bin will also go!" Hu Changgui thought for a while and said.
"That's it, I'll draw 50 people in a row!"
"I even draw 50 people!" The three company commanders said when they heard Hu Changgui say this.
When Wang Cong heard this, he relaxed a little. He had just been promoted from the company commander. If it were not for Hu Changgui's support, he would not be able to command those companies. Now, Hu Changgui's role has also been reflected.
"In this way, tomorrow morning, we will continue to come here for a meeting. Now we will discuss the solution. Also, we must come up with a main action plan for tomorrow's actions. We cannot fight blindly. We are all veterans, and we will feel sorry for losing one.
Everyone will start to work hard tonight, and we will bring the people who will lead this team tomorrow, so let’s discuss together!" Hu Changgui said to the three company commanders.
"As long!" the three of them nodded and said.
"Well, we must cooperate well. We 2oo people, against the 8oo people of the Japanese, even if we add the 2nd battalion, that is, 4oo people, we are not opponents, we must cooperate well!" Wang Cong also said from the side.
"At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, will we meet here on time?" Hu Changgui said.
"Finish!" all of those people nodded.
"Battorney General, do you have any instructions?" Hu Changgui said to the battalion commander.
"No, I also think of a solution. I hope this time will succeed!" Wang Cong shook his head and said.
"Then let's go back first?" Hu Changgui said to Wang Cong.
"Yeah, okay!" Wang Cong nodded, Hu Changgui picked up his hat and left.
After returning to the station, Hu Changgui immediately summoned the platoon leaders for a meeting and asked someone to call Hu Bin over. Hu Bin was going to participate this time, so he had to know about this matter.
Hu Bin heard the soldier who came to report the message and said that the company commander asked him to come over for a meeting. He was stunned for a moment. He was alone in his army, so why would he hold a meeting?
