When Okamura Neji, Chief of General Staff Seishiro Itagaki, Deputy Chief of Staff Oikawa Mitsuhiro, and Division Commander Shimizu Yoshigeage of the 116th Division were having a meeting to discuss the battle,

The 8th Regiment under the Japanese 4th Infantry Regiment quickly received the latest combat order from Okamura Neiji, asking them to dispatch a large group to attack the Jinsui Army held by Liu Feiyang's troops.

The city of the 359th Regiment.

"Sigh! The headquarters called and asked me to immediately dispatch a unit to attack the 358th Regiment of the China-Shandong-Sui Army!"

"Do you have any opinions? Or who of you should lead the troops?"

"If you are not interested in going, then I can only send cavalry troops there!"

After the commander of the Japanese 8th Regiment, Takeshi Furukawa, read the telegram of the combat order issued by Neji Okamura, he also summoned the three captains under him and spoke to them straight to the point.

Because he still needs to stay in the city he just occupied, search for wealth, women, etc., as well as organize and handle all the affairs in the city,

"I'll go!"

"Your Excellency, Captain!"

When commander Takeshi Furukawa finished speaking, battalion commander Ryuta Tazaki was the first to answer.

"No! Let me go! My record recently is not very good, just let me have a good record once and let me have some face!"

"Tazaki-kun, and your Excellency the Alliance!"

After Captain Tazaki Ryuta finished speaking, Captain Taro Sakamoto also interjected.

"Well! But..."

Hearing this, Captain Tazaki Ryuta was a little unhappy and wanted to say something to retort.

"All I want is military success. If I can capture the city held by the 359th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, then the wealth and women inside will be left to you to deal with!"

"So I hope that all my colleagues and the captain can give me a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

But before Captain Tazaki Ryuta could finish speaking, Captain Taro Sakamoto interrupted him and asked urgently.

"Sigh! Okay, I'll leave it to you then!"

"I heard that the 359th Regiment of the China Jinsui Army is a useless force, but they are very rich. Recently, they have helped a lot of refugees and refugees enter the city they are defending to feed themselves.

Therefore, their reputation is still very good, so once we occupy their city, we will definitely get rich wealth from the city. As for women, food and other materials, there will definitely be a lot of them!

"

"Because I heard that the total population of the city they are guarding now exceeds tens of thousands. It is really unbelievable that a small Jinsui Army can still possess so much wealth, and

Food is needed to feed so many people! It really shocked and shocked me!"

Regarding Captain Taro Sakamoto's request, before Captain Ryuta Tazaki could object or agree, Wing Commander Takeshi Furukawa had already taken the lead in replying.

"Hai!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant Commander!"

"I will not let you down. I will definitely be able to capture this Chinese city for you within one day!"

"For the glory of our 8th Regiment, I will definitely return in triumph!"

After hearing that Captain Furukawa Takeshi agreed to his request very readily, Captain Taro Sakamoto immediately beamed, quickly flattered him, and promised.

"Hahaha! Sigh! Then I'm looking forward to your performance!"

"Sakamoto-kun!"

"Do it well! The 359th Regiment of the Jinsui Army of China is a fat sheep unit. As long as they are dealt with, the wealth, food, and women inside will all belong to our eighth regiment!"

In response to the flattery of Captain Taro Sakamoto, Commander Takeshi Furukawa was in a good mood and said with a hearty smile.

"Hai!"

"Wait for my good news!"

Hearing this, Captain Taro Sakamoto agreed even more happily.

Immediately, at the signal of the commander Takeshi Furukawa, he was ready to go into battle.

He walked out of the headquarters of the 8th Regiment in high spirits and walked towards his troops.

Soon, more than a thousand Japs, plus an artillery unit, and some tanks and chariots, immediately set off for the location of the 359th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

The artillery unit, as well as the tank and chariot unit, were assigned by regimental commander Takeshi Furukawa to the troops under battalion commander Taro Sakamoto.

At this time, the 359th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was in the frontline combat zone.

There is a battalion of troops stationed at the forefront, but only one company of this battalion is the core force of the battle.

The other troops are all new recruits, and there are also some reorganized guerrillas and people who came to join the bandit camp.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness is definitely not as strong as that of an elite main force battalion.

However, the configuration of their weapons and equipment is not inferior to that of the elite German weapon masters.

And in order to assist this unit and fight better, several T-34 tanks were deployed to hide in this frontline area, and an anti-tank unit equipped with an 88mm anti-tank gun was already there.

As for the mg42 machine gun unit and the Mark heavy machine gun unit, one unit is deployed respectively, and a sniper unit is also deployed here.

Therefore, the frontline vigilance and the deployment of auxiliary combat power are relatively safe. Although there are many new recruits and miscellaneous troops, this is also the time to test the combat performance of these new recruits and miscellaneous troops.

"All frontline defenses have been completed!"

"But I heard that the Japanese First Army has started to launch aggressive wars everywhere. I think we will also encounter their attacks here, so everyone must cheer up!"

"We absolutely cannot allow the Japanese troops to attack our jurisdiction without even knowing they are here!"

After standing guard for a while, the new battalion commander Zhou Yang, who was responsible for frontline command, reminded his subordinates again.

"Yes! Battalion Commander!"

As soon as Battalion Commander Zhou Yang finished speaking, all the officers agreed in unison.

Seeing this, Battalion Commander Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then gave everyone a cigarette to smoke.

Because the officers under him all like to smoke. So in order to win people's hearts, Battalion Commander Zhou Yang often gave them cigarettes to smoke, but of course he would never give them drinks.

Because this is Liu Feiyang's death order. Anyone who dares to drink while on duty will be dismissed from the service, or imprisoned or even killed in the worst case.

The reason why there are such strict requirements is that they are worried that these big-headed soldiers will get drunk because of drinking, and will be killed by the Japanese troops without knowing the terrible consequences.

That's why such a harsh punishment was decided.

Just after the new battalion commander Zhou Yang started chatting by reminding his subordinates that they must take good care of the defense here, the Japs' troops had already arrived at the outskirts of their defensive position.

"Sigh! How long will it take before we can reach the city where the 359th Regiment of the China-Jinsu-Sui Army is stationed?"

Captain Taro Sakamoto, who was riding a tall horse, asked his reconnaissance officer Heihachiro Kobayashi as he advanced.

“Almost there!”

"Not far ahead is the defensive position deployed by the Chinese Army. As long as we can defeat the Chinese Army in front, we can march straight into their city!"

"However, our reconnaissance team discovered that there is still a Chinese battalion deployed in this frontline defense zone, so your Excellency, Captain, you still need to treat it with caution!"

In response to Captain Taro Sakamoto's inquiry, reconnaissance officer Heihachiro Kobayashi responded quickly.

"Hey! These vulnerable Chinese troops actually know how to set up frontline defense here?"

"Hahaha! Once our tanks and chariot troops roll over, we can easily get rid of them!"

"Of course, even if our artillery troops only need to fire one or two rounds of artillery fire covering bombing, these cowardly Chinese troops can be scared out of their wits!"

“So there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

"Just keep going!"

When Captain Taro Sakamoto heard the report that there were defensive frontline positions, he immediately had a look of contempt on his face and burst into laughter.

"Hai!"

...

Reconnaissance officer Heihachiro Kobayashi also felt that he had made a fuss. He was embarrassed and immediately responded loudly.
Chapter completed!
