"Order the frontline troops to stop advancing and consolidate the existing occupied areas.
Order the 5th Division and the Momotaro Division of the 110th Division to send scouts in the direction where the Supervisory Corps disappeared to find the whereabouts of the Supervisory Corps.
I don’t believe it. So many people disappeared after entering the territory of Mount Tai. Check with me and I must find their whereabouts!”
Terauchi Shouichi issued the order angrily. Apparently, this old devil also realized the threat to the front-line offensive troops after the supervision team entered Mount Tai.
The Dragon Boat Festival Supervisory Team was like a poisonous thorn piercing the back of Juichi Templeuchi.
He wants to destroy the Dragon Boat Festival first, and then continue south.
In other words, he didn't take the little Xuzhou seriously at all. As long as the Dragon Boat Festival was eliminated, Xuzhou would be at his fingertips.
Soon, both the Kunisaki detachment and Momotaro of the Fifth Division received this order.
At this time, Momotaro had already reunited with Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigaido Minamikawa.
Kudo Shinichi, Nikaido Konan and Daigodo Minamikawa also officially obeyed Momotaro's orders.
Of course, this must be done without violating the orders of the commander of the Kunisaki Brigade. After all, Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigodo Minami are still members of the Kunisaki detachment.
The three people asked Momotaro what to do next.
Momotaro ordered all troops to rest at the racecourse, and sent scouts into Mount Tai for reconnaissance in accordance with the orders of his headquarters.
A total of ten teams of scouts were sent out, and Momotaro divided the area for them. After the investigation was completed, they immediately came back and reported to him.
He is not as wealthy as Duanwu, and the radio is equipped to every reconnaissance team. His radio is only equipped to the squadron level, and not all squadrons have radios.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the more we fight, the richer we get, but the little devils get poorer and poorer.
And it is undeniable that after the Dragon Boat Festival's successive heavy losses, the momentum of the Little Devil is gradually weakening.
Because you can imagine that the little devil has spent all the consumption in the next three years to deal with this war in advance. Then why not become poorer as the war continues?
Moreover, radio stations were expensive at the time, and many electronic components needed to be imported, even for small ones.
This has led to the high price of radio stations.
And fortunately, Xiaoguizi can manufacture radio stations himself. Otherwise, if it had all relied on imports, Xiaoguizi would have gone bankrupt by now.
Therefore, the investigation team was not equipped with a radio. Instead, after the investigation, they quickly returned and reported the investigation situation to Momotaro.
And the most worth mentioning is that this little devil is indeed a master of dividing areas for investigation. Otherwise, if the scouts are put into the territory of Mount Tai, they will most likely be killed by the supervision team, which will lose the meaning of investigation.
But it's different after dividing the area. If any investigation team disappears in a certain area, then there must be something wrong with this area, and Momotaro will focus on investigating that area.
So this little devil is indeed not simple. No wonder even the Prince of Beibai looks up to him.
Moreover, Momotaro, the little devil, had another motive for choosing to station himself at the racecourse.
Perhaps the Matsuyama Regiment of the Fourth Division reported that he had severely damaged the Supervision Corps, and those in the headquarters believed it, but Momotaro did not believe it.
He has also fought against the Supervisory Corps. A mere infantry regiment of the Fourth Division can severely damage it? Are you kidding?
If it were that easy, he would have severely damaged the supervision team long ago.
So Momotaro didn't believe that the Matsuyama United had severely damaged the Dragon Boat Festival.
And the purpose of his stay here was to see what happened.
He took Kudo Shinichi, Nikaidou Konan and Daigado Minami, and under the guidance of a Fourth Division soldier, they arrived at the mouth of a semi-circular valley northwest of the racecourse.
There are still a large number of car wrecks left here. There are also shell casings left by Type 38 rifles, Taisho Type 11 light machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns on the roadside.
Kudo Shinichi picked up the bullet casings on the ground and said: "With such dense shell casings, do the people of the Fourth Division gather together to shoot at each other?"
Momotaro said with a gloomy face: "Obviously, the Matsuyama Regiment is lying. This is obviously because Danwu blew up his own transport vehicle for some reason, including the heavy artillery that was unable to move.
This man is so smart and decisive in killing. There are so many transport vehicles that he doesn’t want anymore. There are also those large-caliber heavy artillery. If it were me, I would definitely consider it carefully. After all, these things don’t want to be used.
It will take a lot of financial resources to equip it again.”
Kudo Shinichi echoed from the side: "Yes, with so many trucks, it is enough to equip a transport regiment. And those bombed heavy artillery, it is not an exaggeration to form an artillery brigade. And it is no wonder that the supervising corps
The firepower will be so intense.
This unit in the Dragon Boat Festival possesses anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank weapons. It is also equipped with the artillery firepower of at least one artillery regiment.
On the ground, which other imperial force can be the opponent of the Supervisory Corps?"
Nikaido Konan also said: "Yes, if there are a few more troops like China, I think our Imperial Japanese Army will be unable to move forward."
However, at this moment, Momotaro sneered and said: "Senior seniors, I think you have overlooked one thing. The direct troops of the Central Army are also very fiercely equipped. They also have automatic weapons and artillery support. Even their
Artillery can fight back and forth with our artillery.
But why haven’t we seen them achieve any victory?
The Dragon Boat Festival was able to defeat our Imperial Japanese Army not at all because of his strong firepower. It was because the Supervisory Corps had an excellent commander.
He was good at using these weapons, so he caused huge casualties to the Imperial Army. If he had been a stupid commander, I think these weapons and equipment would have fallen into the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army by now.
.”
"Your Excellency is right!"
Daigaido Minakawa echoed from the side, while Kudo Shinichi and Nikaidou Konan also nodded frequently.
Because it is true that the Central Army also has the weapons and equipment used in the Dragon Boat Festival. Even the little devils are envious when they look at the equipment of the Central Army.
The little devil is not stupid. Does he not know that automatic weapons are better than the Type 38 rifle in his hand?
They knew it, but it was useless. The little devils were poor and they couldn't afford the weapons that the Chinese could afford.
Therefore, even if they were captured, most of them were sealed because their commanders were afraid that if they used them easily, it would no longer be useful to use the Type 38 rifles.
What's more, if the bullets are all used up, there will be no place to replenish them. There are only so many ammunitions seized. If they are all used up, where can the little devil go to replenish them?
At that time, we will have to use the Type 38 rifle again, which will be very troublesome. Do we have to carry two guns and two kinds of ammunition with us on the battlefield?
This is simply impossible!
So the kid clearly knows that submachine guns are useful and has captured many of them, but he doesn't dare to use them and can only seal them all!
