At this time, Zhao Weidong and others were full of admiration for this leader. When they saw the Japanese before, they refused to fight them during the Dragon Boat Festival. In the end, they asked the Japanese to help them pick up weapons and equipment.
And when the little devils picked up all the weapons and equipment and were about to load them into the car, they came out and picked up ready-made items.
Weapons were loaded into the truck, leaving only the corpses of the Japanese on the ground, and then the group rode off in the direction of Bengbu.
At the same time, the 40th Regiment, who heard the gunshots and knew they had been fooled, ran back as tired as Sun Tzu, but all they saw were the bodies of their colleagues.
And no matter how much they wanted to pursue, they no longer had the physical strength. In order to successfully infiltrate this time, the Japanese did not bring many trucks. The trucks were only used to pull artillery, weapons and ammunition.
As for the infantry, they can only run on two legs. Therefore, it is no longer possible to catch up with the Dragon Boat Festival after running down the mountain road for more than ten miles.
So the commander of the Little Japs had to admit that this time, they were completely defeated. And he had to report the Dragon Boat Festival breakout to Kitashirakawa in Bengbu.
Of course, he will not report the battle truthfully. Because if this happens, there may be only a dead end waiting for him.
So Kitashirakawa received such a battle report: All the imperial troops of the 40th Regiment fought bloody battles with the Dragon Boat Festival for more than two hours and annihilated more than 500 enemy troops. However, because the enemy was very cunning, they left behind the infantry and cavalry.
He escaped, which was unexpected, and the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry, so the 40th Regiment could not continue the pursuit. Please give me your instructions.
Kitashirakawa glanced at the message and threw it on the table. At this time, Taro Aso picked it up and looked at it and said: "Senior, this is obviously an excuse for the 40th Regiment not stopping anyone."
Kitashirakawa smiled and said: "How could I not know this? But now is not the time to settle accounts with them. We need to continue with our plan. This time, we have to deal with the 51st Army and the Dragon Boat Festival.
Let the 40th Regiment attack the 113th Division of the 51st Army, directly tear the division's defense line to pieces, and cooperate with the 39th Regiment to first create a gap in the eastern part of Ningyuan County.
Then let a part of the 26th Brigade get in through this hole to reinforce the 40th Regiment and cut off the 51st Army's retreat.
I am going to use this method to bring back the troops at Dragon Boat Festival and those who ambushed the 26th Brigade south of Mingguang.
At this time, Imperial planes bombed it.
If those idiots in Konghang can no longer see such a large-scale mobilization of troops, I will dig out their eyes one by one.
That Dragon Boat Festival, doesn’t he like to fight with our Imperial Japanese Army in sports? I will let him exercise well, exercise. Hahaha!”
At this point, Kitashirakawa smiled dryly, while Taro Aso quickly echoed: "Senior Takami. I'm just afraid that the 31st Army will send reinforcements to Bengbu. In this case, our strength will be obviously insufficient."
Kitashirakawa said: "The 114th Division is containing the 31st Army, so you don't need to worry about that. What's more, there are still two regiments of the 10th Division that have not taken action.
I just want to let that Dragon Boat Festival see hope, and then I will kill him with my own hands."
Taro Aso said with admiration: "Senior, good advice."
Kitashirakawa smiled and said: "Aso, don't always flatter us in our relationship. You are also a participant in this battle. After killing Duanwu, I will promote you to major general and let you command a brigade.
Of course, your ability is much stronger than those old guys, and you have the ability to command a division. But if you rise too quickly, you will be jealous. So don't be impatient, let's take our time."
"Thank you, senior."
Taro Aso bowed again.
Kitashirakawa was very satisfied because he needed such an obedient dog.
Yes, in Kitashirakawa's eyes, Taro Aso is his dog, whether in school or in the army.
Kitashirakawa rescued Aso Taro not because of the relationship between the two as seniors and junior students, but because Aso Taro was very obedient when he was in school. Although he was a top student in the school at the time, he was willing to
Be a dog by his side and obey him.
However, Kitashirakawarai saved Aso Taro at that time, not entirely because Aso Taro was a dog beside him, but because Aso Taro was indeed outstanding in school.
Kitashirakawa needs a reliable assistant because he knows that Taro Aso can only rely on him if he wants to climb up.
He knew Taro Aso. He was a child of a poor family who came from a poor family. He had almost no background. So if Taro Aso wanted to climb up, he could only choose a big tree to rely on.
Just after graduation, Aso Taro wrote many letters to Kitashirakawarai, but Kitashirakawarai never replied.
Because there are many dogs around him. As long as he waves his hand, hundreds of people will follow him.
Of course, it's not that Kitashirakawa Aiya didn't do anything. Although he didn't reply to the letter, he would occasionally look at what the dog that was by his side was doing when he was bored.
And sometimes, he would say hello to the people below and transfer Taro Aso from a difficult environment to a more favorable one.
So this is why, not long after Kitashirakawa came to China, he was able to accurately find Taro Aso.
At that time, Kitashirakawa Aoi said it was a coincidence, but how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as something happened to Taro Aso, Kitashirakawa Aoi came right away? That was too much of a coincidence, right?
Therefore, Kitashirakawa may not pay attention to the dogs around him, but he will pay attention to them occasionally.
This is just like raising pets. Although Kitashirakawa doesn't often feed them personally, he occasionally watches what his pets are doing.
Of course, Taro Aso did not disappoint Kitashirakawarai. The two of them studied in Changzhou for nearly a week before coming up with today's plan.
But what they didn't expect was that the Dragon Boat Festival would suddenly come to Lai'an County. But this gave them the opportunity. Bengbu was empty of troops, and they detected a loophole in the intersection of the defense zones of the 51st Army and the 31st Army.
Only then was the long-formulated plan to slay the dragon implemented.
The so-called dragon slaying is to kill the Dragon Boat Festival, lead the Dragon Boat Festival into a dead end and kill it in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the four words "Dragon Slaying Plan" were also the result of repeated deliberation and deliberation by two people. First, the Chinese nation regards themselves as dragons. Therefore, slaying the dragon also means to capture the entire China, and it also means to destroy the will of the Chinese military and civilians to resist.
The second point is that Kitashirakawa and Aso Taro agreed that Dragon Boat Festival is a dragon and a phoenix among people, so killing Dragon Boat Festival is equivalent to slaying the dragon, so they came up with this dragon slaying plan!
