Yoshida Shoichi led his troops and followed the Chinese reconnaissance team to the Pingqiang River. The veteran in charge of the reconnaissance in front came back to report.
"Report Major, the traces of the Chinese have disappeared."
"Nari?" Yoshida held the sword in both hands, his face was red, and he was sweating like rain. He simply sat on a stone and waved to the soldier who reported, "Let the troops rest on the spot."
"Hi."
Staff officer Yano walked up to the major and handed him a bottle of water.
Yoshida picked up the kettle and drank a few big gulps. Just as the major was drinking water, Yano saw that the sideburns of the major's military cap were a little gray. Continuous jungle operations and constant pursuit of the Chinese reconnaissance team, the major had worked hard.
Already.
Yano took the kettle handed over by the major.
"You should drink some too. It's so hot today, it would be better if it rains." The Major looked at the sky between the leaves and said, "It's the same seaside and the same jungle. It's cool in the jungle of Hokkaido. My wooden house
Right on the edge of the jungle."
"Thank you for your hard work, Major." Yano said to Yoshida sincerely, "After conquering China, we will have a broader world."
"Yes, yes." The Major said helplessly, "Perhaps Japan's front is stretched too far. Did Yano-kun's brother go to war with the Yamato?"
"Yes, Major, thank you for your concern, Major." Yano bowed deeply.
Yoshida drew out his sword, looked at the sharp blade, and said with emotion: "My eldest son was shattered in Manchuria, and now my seventeen-year-old son has also left Hokkaido and set off with Admiral Yamamoto's aircraft carrier."
"I wish you peace." Yano bowed deeply again.
Yoshida's eyes suddenly turned from kind to fierce. Yoshida put the sword into the scabbard, looked at the slowly flowing Pingqiang River in front of him, and said: "There are many rocks on this river beach. The Chinese must have crossed the river here.
He hid his tracks."
"Major Hideaki."
"Yano-kun, you lead the team to cross the river first and find the traces of the Chinese reconnaissance team. Report to me immediately." Yoshida transformed from a father back to the role of a Japanese major in the blink of an eye.
"Hi." Yano knew his status and role very well. He agreed loudly, stood at attention and saluted, ran away, led the team across the river, and searched closely.
The two heroes, who had not seen each other for a long time, sat together, drank half a bottle of water, smoked half a pack of cigarettes, chatted for half an hour, and laughed half with tears in their eyes.
"Toothpick, please send a telegram to Commander Du." Luo Yuesong said.
"Okay, after sending the telegram, you go to the northeast and I go to the northwest. We will continue to advance in two directions, fight a bloody road, and meet up at Ren'an Qiang." Leng Renren stretched out his hands, and Luo Yuesong high-fived his brother in cooperation.
"gone."
"Let's go."
The two brothers stood at attention and saluted each other, then led their teams and set off.
After advancing more than a mile to the northeast, Luo Yuesong asked Lei Hang to send a telegram to the division headquarters. Except that the Japanese brigade did not have many heavy weapons, other division commander Dai had already known the content.
Commander Dai held the telegram sent by Luo Yuesong in his hand and handed it to Chief of Staff Lu without thinking too much.
Chief of Staff Lu read the telegram and said: "Division Commander, the Japanese brigade that occupied the ferry moved over quickly and did not have heavy weapons. This is good news."
"You and I can see it, and Commander Du can also see it naturally. We don't need to say anything about this." Commander Dai picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Commander, it can at least be explained that the west side of our 200th Division will not be attacked by a large number of Japanese troops for the time being." Yang Ying, who was standing aside, said.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yang is right, but these are all temporary. If the Japanese army eats up the 1st Division of the British-Burmese Army, a large number of Japanese troops will definitely surround our 200 Division from the west. Even if Commander Du sends troops to the 1st Division of the British-Burmese Army
The siege has been lifted, but the Japanese army will still come for reinforcements. No matter what we do, our 200 Division will be besieged at any time. Send a report to Captain Luo. In addition to assisting Ren'an Qiang in relieving the siege, you must keep an eye on the Japanese troops on the western front. I want to know the western front.
The more accurate the time when the Japanese troops will arrive at our 200 Division when they attack the front line, the better. It is a matter of life and death for the 200 Division." Commander Dai turned around and said to Yang Ying.
"Yes, sir, I will draft the message right away." Yang Ying stood at attention and saluted.
