Chapter 758: So hateful, did they dig up the Japanese soldiers’ ancestral graves?
Help?
How can we help? Just mobilize troops over there.
Troops cannot be transferred to Area No. 3 now. If they are transferred there, it will disrupt Zhou Weiguo's plan.
He was trying his best to make Kuroki relax his vigilance. Any entry of soldiers might make Kuroki nervous again.
"Blow up a few bridges, don't be too deliberate, and blow up other places accordingly. This way, we can let Kuroki know that we are not targeting him alone, but that the Special High Technology Bureau is specifically destroying our rear roads."
"Is it worth it?"
Chief of Staff Wu, who was sitting next to him, asked.
At present, supplies from the rear are being urgently transferred to the Ninth War Zone. If the bridge is blown up at this moment, the transportation of supplies will be slowed down for several days. After all, the pontoon bridges of some bridges are not so easy to repair.
"As long as we control Area 3, victory will be ours no matter how this battle is fought. It can be said that, to a certain extent, Area 3 is the standard for measuring victory or defeat."
"Understood, I will give the order to blow up some bridges.
At Changsha, the 11th Army Headquarters and the Ninth War Zone, three bridges were blown up in succession. This prompted Anami Korechika to immediately call in Fujita, the head of the Special High Technology Department in Changsha, and ask, "Who ordered the bridges to be destroyed?"
Fujita shook his head. "General, we cannot act on our own without your orders."
The Special High Technology Bureau is only cooperating with the army in combat. It is impossible for it to destroy the entire plan before the army attacks. It cannot bear this responsibility.
Anami Korechika hummed and looked at him. "According to your analysis, who did this?"
"It's very likely that they were local people who wanted to join our forces. We can't deny that some of our agents out in the front were eager to make a contribution. Of course, there's also the possibility that the Ninth War Zone did it intentionally."
"Military explosives were used, so the first point can be ruled out, but the last two possibilities are possible." After Anami Korechika finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the map, on which the location of the bombed area was marked.
The Ninth War Zone had several transportation routes, each leading to a different location. These routes were all damaged.
The disorganized destruction points gave Anami Korechika a headache.
After a while, he said, "Let's assume that this was done by the Ninth War Zone. So, their purpose in doing this is to cover up something."
There must be a reason why they would do something like blowing up a bridge.
Several staff officers quickly analyzed the situation, and Fujita also joined in.
As the head of the Special High Technology Division here, he possesses considerable cunning and resourcefulness. After a careful inspection, he pointed to Area 3. "Could it be that they're trying to cover up Area 3? The commander of this area is Zhou Weiguo, a graduate of the NCO Academy. He's incredibly cunning and resourceful. The Nakamura Brigade suffered a heavy loss at his hands on the Guangxi battlefield."
"You mean, he's preparing to attack?" Anami Korechika asked with his hands behind his back.
"It's very likely that Area 3 is a connecting point between the Jiangxi and Hunan battlefields. While there are other connecting points, they're too complex. This is the most important passage. They transferred Zhou Weiguo to be the commander because they value his abilities."
Anami Korechika turned his head and glanced at his adjutant. "Give me Zhou Weiguo's information."
Not long after, a document was delivered to Anami Korechika, which recorded his military rank and position as well as the corresponding battle records and attack methods of some combat commanders.
Tanks led the way, and sometimes even poison gas bombs were used, but no matter what battle it was, he would use artillery to quickly get the tanks to the front line.
"Contact the air force to bomb the Independent Regiment on the march. Also, immediately mobilize the gas masks and deliver them to our troops in Area 3. Also, dispatch a battalion from the rear and assign them to Kuroki's command."
After making the corresponding decision, Anami Korechika thought for a moment and said, "Also, have the air force bomb the enemy in Area 3 and the county seat."
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
chug chu...
As the independent regiment marched, they set up anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery and launched a counterattack against the enemy air force in the air.
The sound of explosions and the enemy's machine gun fire continued. Xiao Ya, who had been pulled to a steep slope for shelter, calmly glanced at the situation in the air, then took a sip from the canteen Zhang Guifang handed her.
blah blah blah...
The sound of cursing made Xiao Ya look over. Fang Shengli, covered in mud, walked over cursing.
"Was it bombed?" Xiao Ya glanced at him and asked again; "Are you injured?"
Fang Shengli sighed, his helmet covered in dirt. "It was unfortunate. A military vehicle was blown up, and the huge blast threw me into the rubble. Fortunately, I survived."
"I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, you should go change into another set. You look like a clay figurine. Then Shen Xin won't want you anymore."
"No water, let's talk later." Fang Shengli glanced at the sky and said in a muffled voice, "Are they crazy? Why would they bomb us instead of the main force behind them?"
Sano Tadayoshi squatted beside him and chuckled, "Who says we are an independent regiment?"
"What do you mean by this?" Li Mi asked from the side.
He finally chose to follow the independent regiment. After all, Xiao Ya was right, Commander Yan would not let him go.
This was indeed the case. On the second day after joining the independent regiment, he received news that his brigade commander had been shot for not issuing military orders carefully.
At that time, he followed the independent regiment wholeheartedly.
"Did you not understand the situation outside before?" asked Minamizō Akiko.
Li Mi thought for a moment and nodded. "Let's just mind our own business. Since our formation, our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has had only one goal, and that is to protect Shanxi for Commander Yan. As for the situation outside, we don't really know. To be frank, if this incident hadn't happened suddenly and I hadn't been so audacious as to want to snatch supplies from you and let you take them away, I wouldn't have left Shanxi."
"Then you, the Jinsui Army, are really the tallest among the short ones. You have even become the regiment commander." Xiao Ya asked after looking at him.
"It's not our turn to go outside, isn't it?" Li Mi said with a wry smile, "By the way, you haven't told me the question I asked just now."
Xiao Ya glanced at him and said, "Nothing, just too annoying."
Li Mi looked up at the Japanese bombers that were bombing desperately despite the anti-aircraft machine guns intercepting them.
This... How big a thing must one have done to deserve such hatred?
Li Mi stared at Xiao Ya in front of him with wide eyes. After a while, he spoke, "You can make the Japanese hate you so much that they send bombers to intercept your troops. Have you dug up the Japanese army's ancestors' graves in the past?"
