Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2234 The great nobleman-Kujo Miyabei!

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the faint light of dawn filtered through the thick morning mist, giving the entire Hupi Valley a hazy golden edge.

In this silence, suddenly, on the distant horizon, dust flew up, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and the roar of cars was endless.

In front was a cavalry squadron, followed by a modern mechanized corps, and at the end of the team were the Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition.

They were marching aggressively through Hupi Gorge towards Evil Ridge.

The Japanese soldiers stationed at the entrance of Evil Ridge were exhausted after a night of waiting, but when they saw the reinforcements coming in high spirits, they shouted excitedly.

Kitahara Hiroyuki stood on a high place and sighed that he was worthy of being a member of the Kujo family. This configuration was simply too awesome.

A cavalry squad was leading the way, and even chariots were attached. No one knew how these chariots managed to drive through such a rugged mountain road.

Of course, Kitahara Hiroyuki didn't know that General Takeda had equipped Kujo Miyakita with an engineering corps of 100 men and all the equipment for building bridges and roads in order to ensure Kujo Miyakita's safety.

These chariots were naturally used to protect Kujo Miyakita, and one of them was Kujo Miyakita's command vehicle.

However, Kujo Miyakita felt uncomfortable staying in the car, so he ran outside and rode his horse, walking side by side with Nakajima, the deputy captain of the Shadow Wolf Unit.

Kujo Miyakita looked at the Evil Man Ridge in front of him and asked, "Nakajima-kun, we are about to reach the Evil Man Ridge. Don't you have anything to say?"

Nakajima thought for a moment and said, "We have to wait until we encounter the enemy before we can formulate tactics, otherwise it will all be empty talk. Changes on the battlefield are very fast. If we keep fighting the enemy with our existing fighting style, the enemy will soon know our fighting style and respond accordingly.

Mr. Kujo, don't you think that the Imperial Japanese Army is advancing slower and slower? The reason for this is that our enemies have a strong learning ability and they will make their own tactical adjustments based on our inherent tactics.

However, many of our officers still do not realize this and still use the old routine of artillery bombardment followed by infantry charge, and artillery bombardment after the infantry charge.

Mr. Kujo, do you know? I heard this from a Chinese soldier. They have made up a jingle for this. It is enough to show their understanding of our tactics. "

Kujo Miyakita naturally didn't know this, as he had only been in the military for less than a month.

But he understood what Nakajima said.

Jiujo Miyakita stretched lazily out of boredom and said, "Then let's wait and see what kind of surprises our enemies will bring us? Hahaha!"

Kujo Miyakita laughed dryly, obviously he was still upset about Duanwu.

"This must be Lord Kujo, right? It is my honor to meet you!"

At this moment, at the entrance of Evil Ridge, an equally young man, leading a neat team, was bowing and saluting to Kujo Miyakita.

Kujo Miyakita looked at the major officer who was about the same age as him and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki quickly said: "Kitahara Hiroyuki, a student of Mr. Takeda, I am waiting for you here." "Oh, so you are a student of Uncle Takeda."

Kujo Miyakita looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and thought that Kitahara Hiroyuki was also a smart guy.

  If the other party didn't say that he was a student of General Takeda, how could he know Kitahara Hiroyuki?

Of course, Kujo Miyakita couldn't say that on the surface, but continued to pretend to be surprised and said: "I never thought that I would meet Uncle Takeda's students in this mountain. We are of similar age, so there is no need to use honorifics. We will be friends from now on."

"Thank you, Kujo-kun."

Kitahara Hiroyuki bowed deeply, and although he changed his address, he did not dare to show any disrespect to Kujo Miyakita.

These nobles, every one of them is arrogant. Sometimes they will give you face, but sometimes they will suddenly throw your face to the ground and trample on it.

So Kitahara Hiroyuki thought he was very smart, but he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of a great noble.

Kujo Miyakita nodded with satisfaction, thinking: As expected of Takeda's student, he knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he doesn't show any disdain for a noble like me.

As a noble, Kujo Miyakita had naturally seen this more than once. The lower-level nobles, and even the lower-level soldiers, showed great respect to him, but in their hearts they looked down on themselves, a great noble. They thought that they, a great noble, were just an airborne soldier who knew nothing and came to the front line only to gild their own reputation.

However, Kujo Miyakita did not see any of this in Kitahara Hiroyuki's expression and body movements.

So he was very satisfied with Hiroyuki Kitahara.

Kujo Miyakita jumped off his horse and asked, "What is the current battle situation? I heard that Sato is dead? Why didn't he wait for me to come before attacking?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki quickly replied: "Sato-kun has a quick temper. He was impatient to attack after the reconnaissance plane discovered the enemy. I'm very sorry that I couldn't stop him."

Jiujo Miyakita waved his hands and said, "No need to apologize. He is a stupid guy. Can't he even wait for a day? I think he just wants to take the credit before I come."

Kitahara Hiroyuki pretended to be kind and explained: "Sato-kun suffered a great loss at the hands of the guerrillas before, so he must be eager for revenge, right?"

Jiujiao Gongbei waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain for him. I won't bother with a dead man. Let's talk about business now. How many people do you have left? What's the situation of the battle in Evil Ridge?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki replied: "The total number of troops is still more than 1,400, and there are more than 70 wounded. As for the situation in the Evil Man Ridge, we have already severely damaged the guerrillas. Their current strength should be less than 200, and there are still a large number of wounded. So as long as I guard the only exit of this Evil Man Ridge, they will not be able to escape."

Jiujo nodded and said, "That's much simpler. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Colonel Nakajima of the Shadow Wolf Unit."

Kitahara Hiroyuki quickly stood at attention and saluted Nakajima, saying, "Mr. Nakajima, I didn't expect you to come. I have always been very envious of the Empire's Shadow Wolf Army."

Nakajima was very pleased with Kitahara Hiroyuki's flattery and said quickly, "Don't be polite, Kitahara-kun. Please call me Nakajima-kun. I have also heard of you from Lord Takeda. You are a young and promising commander. If you like the Shadow Wolf Unit, you can come over anytime and we can discuss special operations together."

"Hi, it's my pleasure!"

  Kitahara Hiroyuki bowed deeply and saluted Nakajima again! .
