Chapter 228 Pork Soaked Rice
Nanjing Central China Front Army Headquarters.

When the news of the death of Dizhou Libing, the head of the 13th Division, came, all the officers, including Commander Hata Toshiroku, were shocked.

A lieutenant general and division head was actually killed when the frontline battle was in full swing.

Overnight, the 200-strong division headquarter lost all their lives.

Nothing like this had happened since imperial troops set foot on the East Asian continent.

But today the Central China Front Army took place, which simply lost the face of the imperial army.

In any case, Hata Shunroku cannot accept this reality!

With a gloomy face, Hata Junroku roared: "Why did this happen? Who can tell me! Isn't this Dizhou Libing quite capable of fighting? Why was he beheaded by the Chinese army! Who can explain it!"

Emboldened, the Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Army called out: "Your Excellency, Commander, anything can happen on the battlefield at any time. Dizhou Jun Yusui can only say that he is unlucky, but on the other hand, it can explain two problems!"

Slightly stunned, Hata Junliu asked in a deep voice: "What's the problem?"

The Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Army murmured and shouted: "First, what does it mean that the 31st Army can send a small group of troops to attack the division headquarters during the retreat? The military chief of the 31st Army is an extraordinary person. Commander, his will to fight is as strong as steel, like a wolf, even in the face of desperation, he will bite us, we must take strict precautions against the 31st Army!"

Nodding his head, Hata Shunroku called out, "What else?"

The chief of staff of the Central China Army continued to shout: "On the other hand, it shows that Mr. Dizhou is arrogant and underestimates the enemy. When the battle is about to be won, he is negligent. This must be taken as a warning, and the whole army must be warned that no matter what the battle situation is, Everyone must maintain a high level of tension and be on guard against possible accidents at any time."

After pondering for a moment, Hata Junroku shouted: "The chief of staff's analysis is very reasonable! In the final analysis, our military commander underestimated the enemy and underestimated the opponent. This must be a warning!"

After a pause, the Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Army shouted again: "Your Excellency, from Shanghai to Nanjing, you have also seen that the Chinese soldiers' will to resist has not diminished in the slightest. It seems that our imperial headquarters advocates three months of subjugation. That is a joke." , Next, we can’t listen to those paper-talking fellows at the Imperial Headquarters who despised the Chinese soldiers!”

Hata Toshiroku shouted: "Souga! The chief of staff is indeed the chief of staff, and he looks at the problem very reasonable!"

The Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Army shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have congratulated you! But at present, the 13th Division has no leader, and a military chief must be transferred to continue commanding the Huainan military operations!"

With a slight nod, Hata Junroku shouted: "Currently, the North China side is also rushing to attack the south. Our Central China Front Army must not lose. We must take the first step and take down Xuzhou! Who do you think is suitable for the new division commander or chief of staff? ?”

After a moment of hesitation, the chief of staff of the Central China Front Army shouted in a muffled voice: "I think it's better to select the airborne commander on the spot. I think the brigade commander Masao Yokokawa is very suitable!"

Hata Junroku called out, "How capable is this person?"

The chief of staff of the Central China Front Army shouted: "This Yokokawa Masahiro is good at commanding, and he is encircling and annihilating the defenders in Shanghai. He once captured three divisions of the Chinese Army with one infantry regiment in one day!"

With a look of surprise on his face, Hata Junroku shouted: "Nani? This man is so good at fighting!"

The chief of staff of the Central China Front Army replied: "Souga! It is because of this battle that Masao Yokokawa was promoted two ranks in a row, directly promoted from a brigade captain to a brigade commander!"

Hata Toshiroku sternly shouted: "Since this is the case, this kind of capable person must be employed! Immediately draw up a letter of appointment, and immediately promote Masao Yokokawa as the acting division commander of the 13th Division, and take full charge of the Huaihe military operation!"

……

31 Army Camp.

As soon as the wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms was carried to the cooking platoon, platoon leader Xue rips his stomach open.

Ten minutes later, the wild boar was slaughtered, the pork bones were boiled, and the pork slices were fried until fragrant.

Then, under the personal guidance of Liang Shanhao, a meal of pork rice was ready.

With a hungry look on his face, Wei Shengli shouted: "Platoon Leader Xue, is it okay to make some rice? Brothers are so hungry that their chests are stuck to their backs!"

Helping to lift a large wooden barrel to the open space, Platoon Leader Xue yelled: "Okay, okay, look at you in a hurry! Brothers, let's serve dinner! You must have never eaten delicious pork rice!"

Hearing this, thousands of soldiers hurriedly lined up to finish the fight.

After one bowl was finished, the soldiers ate another bowl, as if they couldn't stop.

Sucking the fragrant rice, the chief of staff shouted: "Plisoner Xue! This pork rice is so fucking delicious, it's the first time I've ever eaten it!"

Also sucking and making rice, platoon leader Xue said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the military seat's idea and this wild boar. Don't mention it, this wild boar is really fucking fat, and the meat tastes delicious!"

Sucking the marrow of the wild boar bone happily, Liang Shanhao joked: "Chief of Staff, let the wild boar be delicious!"

After refilling a large food box full of paofan, the chief of staff yelled indistinctly: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, I've already eaten the fourth bowl!"

Stuffing a piece of fried wild boar pork belly into his mouth, Liang Shanhao yelled at the soldiers: "Open your belly to eat, enough!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Thank you, Junzuo!"

The soldiers of the whole army were grateful, isn't it? After so many days of fighting on the south bank of the Huaihe River, the soldiers always ate steamed buns with cold water, and rarely had decent hot food.

Thousands of soldiers enjoyed this meal today.

Squad Leader Xue observed carefully, and each of the soldiers ate at least seven boxes of Paofan, some of them ate so much that they almost got full.

Sucking away the pork and rice in his hand, Liang Shanhao asked in a deep voice, "Chief of Staff, did the guard post find the devils coming?"

Chewing the especially tough wild boar, the chief of staff replied: "No, I guess the little devil's division headquarters is taken away by us, and he can't rest assured to continue to attack for the time being! But the Xuzhou headquarters ordered us to stay on the south bank of the Huaihe River, Cooperate with the 51st Army to defend the Huaihe line of defense!"

Nodding his head, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Mr. Li thought well, but after this battle, the veterans of our troops are exhausted. We must hurry up and make up for it before we can continue to fight the devils to the end!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Military seat, but we are in an occupied area, and the supplies in the fifth war zone may not be able to meet the needs. We can only rely on ourselves."

Spreading out a map, Liang Shanhao shouted: "This place is good. Although it is far away from the main road of Jinpu Road, the branch line passes through here. We can attack the devil's baggage here, supply supplies on the spot, and restore our vitality!"

Rather than waiting for the unlikely supplies of the Fifth War Zone, the 31st Army lurking in the occupied areas might as well do it themselves and have enough food and clothing.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and the chief of staff shouted: "This idea is good, I think it will work!"

Circled a strategic location with a pencil, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Bafang Town! I will go to Bafang Town the day after tomorrow. This place will be a prosperous commercial town when the war breaks out. The military supplies transported by the devils to the front must be assembled here! Chief of Staff , order the reconnaissance platoon to conduct reconnaissance of the enemy near Bafang Town, and tentatively plan to attack Bafang Town the day after tomorrow!"

Nodding to Liang Shanhao, the chief of staff shouted: "Yes!"
