Chapter 396 Are You Such a Bully?
A small mountain village less than fifty miles away from Yangping Town. Although the area of ​​this small mountain village is small, the terrain is quite hidden and dangerous.

Originally there were more than a dozen families living here, and most of the villagers made a living by hunting and collecting herbs, and lived a peaceful life, but with the unfolding of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the tranquility of this mountain village was broken, and countless Japanese soldiers They suddenly swarmed in, except for a very few villagers who went out to hunt, all the men, women and children who stayed in the village were all slaughtered.

All the villagers who were killed did not know that the reason why they suffered this innocent disaster was only because the Japanese army took a fancy to this mountain village and designated this mountain village as their headquarters. In order to keep it secret, the Japanese did not hesitate to kill almost all the villagers Kill them all.

Today, in this temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, which is heavily protected by a full regiment of troops, all four division heads who participated in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan gathered for a meeting.

The weather in Zhongtiao Mountain was extremely hot in June. The scorching sun scorched the ground into smoke, and the drooping willow branches of the few willow trees were limp and drooping. A few wolf dogs led by Japanese soldiers could only live in the shade of the trees. Sticking out his tongue vigorously.

Even though the weather is so hot, there are still several patrol teams frequently patrolling around the mountain village. If there is any accident, the entire Zhongtiaoshan Battle will collapse in an instant.

In a small room, Akihisa Sakagami, chief of staff of the 31st Division, was spitting and shouting to the other division heads and chiefs of staff in the room: "Everyone, according to Commander Gangmura's deployment, we should Continue to attack Yangping Town, Guojialing, and Gaojiazhuang with superior forces at the same time, and completely defeat the Chinese people with a thunderbolt, instead of thinking about how to be deserters."

"Your Excellency, this is just your wishful thinking." The chief of staff of the 33rd Division, Akino Qiugu, said unceremoniously, "Our division has been fighting continuously for half a month, and the casualties of our troops have reached an astonishing 60.00% Five, if the fight continues, the 33rd Division will definitely lose its combat effectiveness due to excessive casualties, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"Baga, we are His Majesty's imperial army, how can we be intimidated by the small casualties?" Sakagami Akihisa stared at Zhaoye Qiugu, "Your 33rd Division suffered heavy casualties, but our 31st Division has fewer casualties Don’t forget that our division has been here for a month, but our division’s determination to wipe out Gao Hongming and these Chinese troops here is still unwavering!”

"There is no wavering...hehe..." Zhaoye Qiuhe sneered: "Well, since Chief of Staff Sakagami is so determined, then I wish you success immediately. Well, let me make a suggestion, in view of the 33rd Division The regiment suffered too many casualties, our division retreated as a whole to Yangcheng County, a hundred kilometers away, to rest for half a month, and waited for the arrival of supplementary troops before going into battle, what does Chief of Staff Sakagami think?"

Akihisa Sakagami stood up and glared, "You are a disgraceful act of avoiding war. How could the 33rd Division be such a coward like you?"

As soon as Sakagami Akihisa said these words, the venue immediately became noisy, and many officers of the 33rd Division who were originally sitting in the back couldn't bear it anymore.

The 33rd Division was blown up by the Liantai Flying Brigade before the [-]rd Division arrived at Qiuyang County. After arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, they faced the Liantai militia with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness. They fought the hardest and suffered the most. Casualties were also the greatest.

Two of the four infantry regiments were wiped out, and now they are still called cowards. How can the officers of the 33rd Division bear it?
A staff officer with the rank of Lieutenant Assistant on his shoulder said coldly: "Chief of Staff Sakagami, if you think the 33rd Division is a coward, please lead the 31st Division to attack Yangping Town immediately, Gao Hongming is waiting there What about you. As long as you can defeat the Liantai militia and capture Gao Hongming alive, I believe that even Commander-in-Chief Hata Toshiro will be very happy, and I will personally ask for credit for you, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Akihisa Sakagami was so angry that he drew out his command knife on the spot, "Baga, you bastard who dares to commit crimes, believe it or not, I will kill you?"

Not only was the lieutenant not afraid, but he also drew out his command knife: "I heard that Your Excellency Sakagami came from a family of warriors, so I really want to learn about it."

Seeing a lieutenant commander and a senior commander pull out their command knives and want to fight on the spot, the several division heads who had been sitting silently in their seats could no longer remain silent.

"Enough!" Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, the head of the 33rd Division, stood up, looked around the crowd and said loudly: "For this battle of Zhongjo Mountain, the 3-strong army of the Empire has lost more than [-] people.

Can anyone tell me how many casualties we will have to pay if we continue to fight, even if we can severely damage the opposite team consisting of the Liantai Militia, the Eighth Route Army and the Third Chinese Army?
Let me say something harsh again, if it comes to a critical moment, who can guarantee that Gao Hongming will not use special bombs again, what should we do then? "

As soon as Amakasu Shigetaro's words came out, everyone fell silent.

The Japanese are not fools, especially after they become mid-to-high-ranking officers, their perspective on problems is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary middle- and low-ranking officers.

To put it bluntly, fighting a war is the same as doing business. As the so-called decapitation business is done, no one is willing to do a loss-making business.Faced with the danger of losing their fortunes, even fanatics should think twice.

Someone said quietly: "According to the report of the Army Aviation Corps, China has built an airport in Yangping Town. They can transport a large amount of ammunition, new troops, and wounded and sick through transport planes every day. How can we defeat a team with high fighting will and can obtain A continuous supply of personnel and supplies."

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone suddenly said: "We can use planes to cut off their air transportation lines!"

The person who said this immediately got dozens of blank eyes. In order to fight for air supremacy, the Third Aviation Group was almost wiped out, and they are still hiding at the airport to lick their wounds. Are you going to shoot their plane down by spitting?

Just when many people felt a little discouraged, a communications staff officer suddenly ran into the venue and said loudly: "Report, we have just received a report from Gao Hongming of the Liantai militia, Chen*, commander of the Eighth Route Army, and Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Chinese Army. Send a clear telegram, saying that they are about to retreat, and hope that they can stay where they are with the imperial army and not move around, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, otherwise the imperial army will be responsible for all consequences."

"idiot!"

As soon as the staff officer's words came out, there was a burst of national curses in the venue, and many officers were so angry that they jumped up. Are you bullying people like this?
