……

Soldiers certainly have no guts to lie about military information.

When Shao Zuo Matsumoto assembled his troops and discussed the military situation with Takashima, he received a distress call from Xiaowangzhuang Paolou.

This time he picked it up personally, the soldiers of Xiaowangzhuang's imperial army, after he double-checked,
Tell him in a panicked tone: There are many people in Tubalu, and they really made up their minds to attack the gun tower.

I implore Matsumoto to rescue as soon as possible, otherwise the Xiaowangzhuang blockhouse will follow in the footsteps of Shi Laoyao's blockhouse.

The call for help from Shi Laoyao's blockhouse had already been called to several nearby blockhouses.

It's just that no one has the noble sentiment of sacrificing himself to save others.All of them guarded in the gun tower, and braced themselves to guard against Tubalu.

Now, no matter how nervous Matsumoto was, he realized that something was wrong.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Mr. Takashima, the Eighth Route Army used artillery to attack the gun towers, this must be their main force.

What do you think Eight Road is doing? "

Lieutenant Takashima used his brain to think hard, and Tubalu's actions revealed an unusual taste.

It was a matter of his own life, so he couldn't help being careless.

"Matsumoto-kun, perhaps this may be because we have been building artillery towers recently, making the enemy feel threatened, so we have this action.

It may also be the old-fashioned siege and aid, which set a trap for us.Waiting for us to step on.

It is not impossible to attack the county seat.

The defeat of the imperial army at Shentouling fueled the arrogance of the Tuba Road.

According to intelligence, the people who are entrenched in the northern mountainous area and our neighbors are the main force in the first battle of Shentouling, the New Second Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

They came in as if they had a new commander and became very aggressive. "

Lieutenant Takashima offered a variety of scenarios in one go, taking all the worst-case scenarios into consideration.

Even Matsumoto has to admit that Takashima is really thoughtful.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, without enough intelligence to support, no one knows what the enemy will do next.

What Major Matsumoto can do is to prepare for the worst.

If it was really the main force of the Eighth Route Army that was dispatched, then the artillery towers would have no value in supporting them.

On the contrary, we must be careful and guard against the Tuba Road to attack the stronghold.

It's not impossible.

The soldier in charge of answering the phone in another room ran up and said, "Sir, the Xiaowangzhuang blockhouse has been shelled, and the enemy has launched a general attack. The phone line is broken..."

Then, four more imperial soldiers were broken.

The two blockhouses were captured by Tuba Road one after another. Mr. Matsumoto looked at the gray sky outside, and his heart was cast with a thick shadow.

This strengthened his determination, and he immediately picked up the phone and called Nakazuo Hasegawa along the city.

If he wants to give up the reinforcement of the gun tower and stick to it, he must convince his superiors.

Otherwise, give up your responsibilities, and do nothing to save the imperial army stationed in various artillery towers.

Major Matsumoto couldn't bear the pressure of this big hat.

However, when he explained his thoughts on the phone, he was scolded by Hasegawa.

"Bastard, if you don't want to save him, won't you chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Japanese Empire?

I don't care what your reason is, you must go immediately to reinforce the gun tower. "

Hasegawa paused, and added: "I will also immediately send someone to increase the number of staff in your department."

This is to reassure Matsumoto, coercing him to leave immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Major Matsumoto cursed bitterly in his heart.

The friendly army was surrounded, motionless like a mountain.

This is not the habit of the Japanese army. If something like that happens, not only will they be punished, they may even go to a military court.

Lieutenant Takashima stood aside, and he heard all the voices on the phone.

At this moment, his heart is so cold.

Could there be worse news than this?

Artillery has appeared, and it is undoubtedly the main force of the Eighth Route Army.Don't you still know the old-fashioned way to fight for aid?

Lieutenant Takashima was pessimistic about dispatching support.

However, orders cannot be disobeyed, and Major Matsumoto had no courage to disobey orders, so he had to issue an order to set off immediately.

"Matsumoto-kun, do I still have a chance to meet the geisha from Tokyo?" Takashima's hands were clenched tightly into fists. There is nothing worse than jumping into a pit knowing it is a trap.

The death of Shentouling Ishihara Shaozuo greatly shocked people who were familiar with them.

These middle- and lower-level officers are very likely to die in the hands of Eighth Route Army in an unknown battle.

Has become a winner, when it's time to enjoy life, who is willing to die?

"What are you panicking?" After all, Major Matsumoto had participated in the Battle of Songhu and had seen big scenes.

Seeing that his subordinate was very nervous, he moved his limping leg, came to Director Gao, and straightened his collar calmly.

"Takashima-kun, we set out for reinforcements and sent more people to scout. The speed of progress has slowed down because of this, is it reasonable?"

"As long as you don't step into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army like Shao Zuo Ishihara, who is so stupid and arrogant, if Tubalu wants to eat us, it depends on whether they have a good mouth."

What Matsumoto said makes sense, as long as you don't step into the dangerous ambush circle, and rely on the terrain to defend when you encounter a large group of enemies.

With the imperial army's tenacious will and powerful firepower, it would be no problem to fight the main force of the Tuba Road for a day.

And one day is enough for two or three waves of reinforcements to arrive.

Although Matsumoto and his reinforcements have the mentality of procrastinating and protecting themselves.But it does not prevent them from counting on other friendly forces to support them.

"Hey, I see. I'll go and arrange it myself." Takashima understood what the officer meant, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In Chinese, this is called "Dead Tao friends never die poor Tao". There is a similar proverb in Japan.

I just want to express my sorrow to the imperial army in the blockhouse.

Watching Lieutenant Takashima off, he made a tacit arrangement.

"Ugh……"

Major Matsumoto sighed, if there was a way, he wouldn't do it.I'm really afraid of being beaten by siege.

He didn't want to lose his leisurely life, let alone the beautiful Nanako.

The imperial army in the turret, you better hope that they will not encounter any trouble on the way!

Major Matsumoto accepted Nanako's service, put on his command knife, and was ready to go.

"My dear, please come home safely."

Nanako's eyes were full of hope, women don't understand war.But she understands that the man in front of her is her only support.

Sure enough, even the woman smelled something unusual.

Major Matsumoto said solemnly: "I will, and I will come back to enjoy your dance!"

This is not only a promise to women, but also a reminder to myself.All safety is the top priority, and you must not be overbearing.

The moment he walked out of the room, he thought bitterly again: Why aren't all the imperial association troops stationed in those blockhouses!

In that way, the rescue can be refused in a fair manner.
