The Beiyuan Division has never suffered this kind of humiliation, and as a result, it was all eaten today.
The guards in the office immediately shrank their heads in fear when they saw Kitahara Kurao's angry look.
Immediately, I was so scared that I felt like I was walking on thin ice, and I didn't dare to take a breath.
"Assemble the troops immediately, let all the troops assemble immediately, and no matter what, we must find the 28th Regiment and uproot them!"
Kitahara Kurao almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"Hai!" A Japanese captain paused immediately, and then left the place as if running away.
Kitahara Kurao sat on the chair, breathing heavily with anger.
Both the military headquarters and the Japanese royal family were very dissatisfied with the performance of the Beiyuan Division.
Especially the message from the royal family. Although the emperor's letter did not blame the Kitahara division, it was more painful than killing Kitahara Kurao.
Every word in the letter is heartbreaking.
The military headquarters even issued a direct order, ordering them to find the 28th Regiment and completely annihilate the rebels of the 28th Regiment.
And he must cut off Ding Wei's head as a warning to others, rebuild the dignity of the imperial army, and avenge His Highness the Prince.
This is just a piece of jade aimed at the prince. If they know that not only the piece of jade, but also the jade body of the prince has been snatched away by those thieves.
Moreover, the best soldier of the Imperial Company, Takakura Hayabusa, was also defeated at the hands of the 28th Regiment. Kitahara Kurao did not dare to think about the consequences of this incident.
After much thought, Kitahara Kurao finally decided that he must show determination in this battle.
Kitahara Kurao decided to personally lead the troops to direct the battle on the front line instead of staying in Yasu Castle.
Although on the front line, he is also commanding the battle from the rear, but at least his attitude should be seen by the people in the royal family or the military.
Moreover, it has been a long time since I personally fought in a military expedition. If I appear on the front line, my morale will definitely be boosted.
After thinking about this, Kitahara Kurao no longer hesitated and immediately called the guards to prepare his belongings.
When the division chief of staff, Hasegawa Tada, learned that Kitahara Kurao was going to take command, he strongly opposed it on the grounds of the safety of the division commander's life.
Kitahara Kurao looked at Hasegawa Tada quietly, sighed and said: "His Royal Highness's jade was shattered and Takakura Hayabusa died. We have to give an explanation to the royal family and the military."
When he heard the name Takakura Hayabusa, Hasegawa Tada did not hide his disdain at all.
In the past, Hasegawa Tada was very dissatisfied with Takakura Hayabusa's so-called special tactics.
Now that Takakura Hayabusa was killed in battle, Hasegawa Tada felt even more despised.
What special operations?
What special forces?
All tricks.
The empire spent a lot of money to select him and sent him to Germany to learn tactics.
As a result, in his first actual combat, he was almost killed by the guys from the 28th Regiment.
Now his head was cut off directly, and not even the whole body was left.
If he was really that powerful, Takakura Hayabusa should have killed Ding Wei's head long ago.
All special tactics are false. Real war still depends on the duel between large corps.
Just a few people trying to decide the outcome of a battle is simply a joke!
It’s not like Kitahara Kurao didn’t know Hasegawa Tada’s thoughts, but at this moment he no longer wanted to continue arguing about this matter.
"Takakura Hayabusa has a very good relationship with His Highness the Prince." Kitahara Kurao pointed out the key points directly.
Hasegawa Tada was stunned, groaned and said nothing.
"Even if Takakura Hayabusa did not die for the country, I must personally lead the troops in the battle this time." Kitahara Kurao said solemnly.
Hasegawa Tada looked surprised and a little confused.
"His Royal Highness the jade body is lost." Kitahara Kurao gritted his teeth and said.
"Nani? His Royal Highness the Prince has lost his jade body?" Hasegawa Tada immediately lost his composure.
Kitahara Kurao nodded: "Because of this, I must personally command!"
Hasegawa Tada said no more.
When Ding Wei led his troops to the north for a feint attack, Kitahara Yuya and Hasegawa Tada came to the railway line where Prince Komatsunomiya was ambushed.
at this time.
The snow has covered everything around, and except for the railroad tracks scattered everywhere, there are no traces of any battle at all.
A brigade led by Kitahara Aoi is clearing the snow nearby, looking for traces of the 28th Regiment.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the snow is falling too much." Hasegawa Tada frowned slightly: "Their traces are completely covered, and we can't judge the marching direction of the 28th Regiment at all."
Kitahara Kurao snorted coldly, bent down, and gently brushed away the snow on the ground.
The snow on the ground was just as Hasegawa Tada said, and the footprints looked extremely messy.
Coupled with the heavy snowfall, the ground had already become muddy, making it difficult to distinguish the direction of the footprints.
"Those idiots, if they could arrive here earlier, they would definitely be able to block the 28th regiment!" Hasegawa Tada kept complaining.
"That's enough, Hasegawa-kun, stop your complaining!" Kitahara Kurao said solemnly.
His eyes were shining like a wild beast.
"Since you can still see the footprints, it means that this group of Chinese soldiers have been here not long ago." Kitahara Kurao said solemnly.
"Hai, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Hasegawa Tada shut up honestly.
"Conduct reconnaissance along various intersections, we will definitely find their traces!" Kitahara Kurao said calmly.
"They have made so many actions, and now they must be trying to hide their traces. Currently, only the northern troops have not sent any news.
If nothing else happens, they should want to go to the north of Hebei, join their troops, and immediately order the team to pursue northward, so don't waste any more time!"
"Hai, your Excellency, division commander!" Hasegawa Tada shouted to the major beside him as he woke up from a dream.
"Pass my order and immediately order the troops to march north. Be sure to carefully observe the footprints on the ground!"
A brigade of Kitahara Kurao's troops marched northward in great numbers.
This time, because he knew the combat effectiveness of the 28th Regiment, Kitahara Kurao also learned wisely and did not disperse the group.
Instead, they directly used the brigade as the combat unit and ordered the other units to assemble toward the north, and then annihilate the 28th regiment in one fell swoop.
After marching for half an hour, they found messy footprints on the ground, but what surprised them was that the footprints were facing south?
"South?" Hasegawa Tada was a little strange for a moment and squatted on the ground to observe.
"Strange, this is not normal at all. If they are marching south, they are likely to encounter our troops. The south has been blocked by us.
Even if it is unable to go north to join their troops, the 28th Regiment can still pass through Jizhong, which is also the base of Tubal Road."
Having said that, Hasegawa Tada looked at Kitahara Kurao and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, are these Chinese people planning some conspiracy again?"
They suffered several losses at the hands of the 28th Regiment. Facing such a cunning opponent, they must think more carefully.
