Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 43 The Doubts of the Chief of Staff of the First Army

After eliminating all the devils in the hospital, Li Yunlong called the outside group in with a flare gun.

At the time of departure, there were 150 people in the whole company.

After the rescue mission was completed, the entire team consisted of 25 people, including [-] rescued prisoners and [-] doctors.

Because they didn't carry extra weapons and equipment, they searched for a long time before they pieced together twenty [-] big caps and two crooked handles and handed them to the thirty soldiers.

Four comrades from the spy company stayed here forever. In order to prevent the devils from venting their anger with the remains of the soldiers, Li Yunlong ordered them to be taken away.

As for the devil's body, if Zheng Yingqi hadn't tried to stop him, he might have been burned directly by Chief Li.

Considering that they will definitely be chased and intercepted by devils on the way back, everyone can only carry some medicines as much as possible.

Although Li Yunlong did not have clear statistics, he estimated that there was about half a ton.

After doing all this, Zheng Yingqi commanded the soldiers to burn down the remaining medicines and hospitals. Even if these strategic materials cannot be taken away, they cannot be left to the enemy.

The fierce flames soared into the sky, and half of the sky was dyed red.

Zheng Yingqi took out his pocket watch, and the mirror of the pocket watch that had been with him for many years was shattered during the fight with the devil Shao Zuo just now.

This is even more uncomfortable than losing a weapon. After all, this watch was a gift from the deputy teacher in 27 years, and it also symbolized their struggles over the years, and it carried extraordinary meaning.

By the light of the burning hospital fire, he looked at the time.

It was already [-]:[-] at this time, and the battle was much smoother than expected, so it was time to retreat.

Under the flames, the soldiers and doctors took all their belongings and withdrew towards the base.

The devil's first wave of reinforcements, the railway patrol, arrived after a full two hours.

Railways are important to modern warfare.

First, it was easy to transport along the railway lines during the war.

The road conditions in Jin Province are poor, and the trucks have limited capabilities in this terrain.Railways can effectively reduce logistical pressure.

Secondly, after mastering the railway, it will be faster to dispatch troops, whether it is the attacking side or the defending side.They are capable of rapidly deploying or withdrawing troops along rail lines.

Finally, modern railway trunk lines mainly connect economic centers, industrial centers or areas rich in mineral resources.

These are all strategic locations, and military operations along the railway lines make it easier to occupy these areas.

The devils attached great importance to railway patrols, and formulated a strategy to occupy important surrounding cities along the railway lines.

After the defenders in the nearby counties discovered that the hospital was missing, they immediately contacted the nearest railway patrol.

However, these people are not very interested in everything outside the railway, after all, this is not within their jurisdiction.

They came here just to keep their tongues open. Facing the burning hospital, they were just doing a symbolic search and rescue.

After getting nothing, these devils even started to prepare breakfast on the spot, and didn't even bother to care about the corpses of the hospital guards.

After the troops stationed in the surrounding counties appeared, these proud patrols reported the situation eloquently and then left.

Seeing the tragedy in front of him, the commander of this unit, Naganaka Satou, was about to explode.

Although it was not his defense zone, he was the first to come here and did nothing, and he would definitely be held accountable by then.

Thinking of the army's traditional big fight, his eyes almost went dark, and he immediately ordered to deal with the battlefield.

After a while, his soldiers came to report the details.

"Report, the entire hospital was completely blown up by the enemy, and all the medicines in the warehouse were burned."

"Probably all the soldiers and doctors stationed were killed. We don't have a list, so we can't be sure. So far, no survivors have been found."

This news made Zhongzuo Naganuma almost collapsed. Unlike the grassroots soldiers, he still knew the inside story about this hospital in his capacity.

Although I don't know whether the doctors under house arrest are dead or alive, but if they are rescued and turned to the enemy, the defenders in the nearby counties will be unable to eat.

After a similar incident occurred in the Kwantung Army, a major general was dismissed, and all officers and soldiers of the entire brigade were concentrated for ideological training.

That's not all the punishment, the brigade was even revoked.

He is just a small lieutenant officer who has been honed through years of fighting, with no background and no room for advancement.

When the time comes, if he is held accountable, he will definitely be the first to be blamed.

Little people will always explode in critical moments. Naganuma Kakuei first slapped the soldier who came to report angrily, and then drew out his command knife.

"You idiot, go find them! Whether it's a human or a ghost! Find them!"

"Don't kill them all, remember to leave a few more alive for me, I will interrogate them myself!"

He is extremely resentful now, hating why those high-ranking officials didn't arrange more troops to guard here, they all know how important this place is.

But what Naganuma didn't know was that the garrison of this hospital did not report to their superiors in order to save their lives after discovering that someone had escaped, and they concealed the matter internally.

In the eyes of the senior officials of the First Army of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, this hospital is extremely safe, and increasing the defense force will attract more attention.

The heavens were beautiful, and the heavy snow perfectly covered the whereabouts of the spy company, not even leaving a footprint for the devils.

Kakuei Naganuma could only send out all the soldiers under his command, even if it was aimless luck, he had to try it.

At the same time, he first contacted the chiefs of the defenders in several nearby counties.

He deduced that the enemy who came to attack was probably the Eighth Route Army. After all, only they would care about those doctors, and only those beggars would take the risk of attacking a hospital.

No matter what, these enemies will retreat towards the so-called base area. As long as you are lucky enough, you will definitely find something.

And now that the weather is so bad, they must not be able to go fast!
Afterwards, he took the initiative to contact the Chief of Staff of the First Army and reported the current situation.

"You are very smart, and the notification was timely. I will send the cavalry unit of the First Army to investigate, and the plane will be dispatched when Xue Xiao is a little bit."

"It seems that these insects are very thoughtful, I will make them pay the price!"

The chief of staff's tone was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't lose his temper.Although his tone was calm, a strong murderous aura seemed to come from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the Chief of Staff of the First Army in Taiyuan immediately held a meeting.

If it's just an ordinary hospital, then he certainly doesn't care.

At most, some people died due to lack of medicines. This kind of thing happens every day.

What he wondered was why it was the hospital where the leftist doctors were under house arrest.

If there is such a big scandal in his own jurisdiction or even the hinterland, it is no longer a matter of being scolded and laughed at, and he may even be dismissed.

After all, he is only a major general.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't guess that a few little people brought him such a big trouble in order to survive.

　Does anyone know who the chief of staff of the First Army in Shanxi was in March 1940? I haven't been able to find it for a long time.

　　I feel that I am almost fine, and the update time will return to normal on the 21st.

　　At that time, I will gradually modify the plots of Chapter 10 to Chapter [-] of the second volume. I read it myself today, and there are a lot of bugs
