Bright Sword Rising from Picking Rewards

Chapter 113
The commander of the 41th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army's 239st Division, the 2nd Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Masaharu, was at his headquarters, looking at the telegram from the 239th Regiment Captain Yamada Takahito.

The content of the telegram was very simple. It hoped that he could fully capture Wutai County within three days, and try to capture the residents of Commander Yan's hometown alive and imprison them in prisoner camps to intimidate Commander Yan.

"Hey! It's just a small Wutai County, but my brigade has over a thousand troops. It's really easy to capture it!"

"What's more, I brought 5 tanks and chariots this time to be the pioneers!"

"If I cannot capture such a remote Wutai County within three days with the assistance of tanks and chariots, wouldn't my position as captain be in vain?"

"And these five tanks and combat vehicles, I borrowed them from the commander with great difficulty!"

"So give me the order to go on, and immediately set off to march towards Wutai County to attack and fight. You must arrive there in two days and occupy the entire Wutai County!"

"As for the people inside, whether they are Chinese troops or Chinese people, those who can be captured alive will be taken back to the prisoner-of-war camps, and those who cannot be captured alive will be killed!"

After reading the telegram, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Shoji, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, confidently issued the marching order to the Japanese officers and combat staff around him.

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

"Hay!"

After his order was issued, a series of echoing voices rose and fell,

Then, all the Japanese officers immediately took action and mobilized their troops to prepare for the march.

And this moment,
The entire Wutai County was bombed by Japanese planes. There were collapsed houses everywhere, and civilians injured and killed by the bombings could be seen everywhere.

Their deplorable condition is truly appalling.

Even many children and elderly people were injured.

As the only female doctor in Wutai County, Sun Sichun was organizing a rescue team mainly composed of women. After the Japanese planes left after the bombing, they were providing emergency rescue to the first-injured residents.

"Help me! Doctor Sun, my leg is broken! I'm in so much pain! Help me!"

"There is an injured child at Dr. Sun's place. Send someone over to save him quickly! Otherwise, I'm worried that he will lose too much blood and pass out!"

"Are there any medical staff? There are many injured here! Someone come quickly!"

"My hands and eyes hurt so much! Am I going to die? I was hit by those damn Japanese planes!"

When female doctor Sun Sichun led the female rescue teams, they shuttled through the disaster areas in Wutai County to rescue the injured. Many injured residents were shouting for help and begging for help.

So, soon, many calls for help continued to reach the ears of female doctor Sun Sichun and her members of the female rescue team, making them very busy.

"Damn it! If we had troops stationed in Wutai County, maybe there wouldn't be such a shortage of rescue personnel now, and we wouldn't even be bombed by those damn Japanese planes!"

"This is not necessarily true. You must know that most of the Jinsui Army does not have air defense weapons and equipment, so it is impossible for the Japanese aircraft group to count on these Jinsui Army troops and those of the Central Army, because the Central Army does not have much air defense. Weapons and equipment! So in the end we still need to be smart and vigilant, and run for our lives as soon as we see the Japanese aircraft group coming!"

"That! Have you forgotten that I heard from the county magistrate that Shanxi-Sui Army troops will be sent to our Wutai County in the past few days to guard our safety? But why have several days passed? But we still haven’t seen a single Jinsui officer and soldier come to us! What is going on?”

"I think you have to ask our county magistrate about this question!"

"The county magistrate is currently busy directing the residents of the county to rescue the injured after being bombed by a group of Japanese planes!"

At the same time, some people in the county who were not injured were discussing enthusiastically.

The unit that they talked about the most was He Xiaoyang's Shanxi-Sui Army unit that was slowly marching in.

As for being dispatched to Wutai County by Commander Yan for no reason,
And they also sent two adjutants to give advice, and even the military commander's special agents were dispatched to conduct surveillance.

He Xiaoyang was not in a hurry at all and took his troops to Wutai County to take up posts and deploy defensive fortifications.

Of course, the premise is that he still doesn't know that side of Wutai County has been bombed by Japanese planes again, and everywhere is filled with flames, smoke, and collapsed houses everywhere.

In particular, more than 300 residents were injured or killed by the Japanese planes.

Of course, this also includes the news that the Japs troops of the 41nd Battalion of the 239th Infantry Regiment of the 2st Division of the Japanese Army are also marching towards Wutai County.
