Chapter 5: The innocent child (Six chapters)

On the dirt road about sixty miles away from Crescent Lake, a blue-gray smoke covered the sky and the sun. Under the smoke, a large number of Japanese and puppet men of Manchukuo were either riding cars or riding horses, with their eyebrows and eyes full of ferocious faces.

This may be the largest military operation of the Kwantung Army on the Dongmeng Grassland since the September 18th Incident. Even the remaining soldiers who hunted down Ma Zhanshan's troops did not dispatch such a scale. The total number of Kwantung Army, plus the two regiments of Manchu cavalry, had a total of more than 2,000 troops. It was more than enough to deal with a brigade of the Jinsui Army. However, it was used to attack a Tu Eighth Route Guerrilla with a total number of only 200 people. It was really a killer to kill chickens. (Note 1)

Nakasa Nakasa, who was sitting in a Japanese officer's car in the center of the convoy, thought so. He could not understand why the Kanto Army headquarters gave such "politeness" to a local armed force of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that although the size of the Kanto Army was not large, it was the first traditional ace to enter Lushun Port in the Russo-Japanese War. It was ranked among the Kanto Army in terms of equipment supply, personnel and commander selection. It was usually regarded as a treasure by the headquarters. In the past, even when it was "striking" the main force of the Anti-Japanese United Army, it would not be easily dispatched. This time, as the second Japanese-Russian battle was about to break out, there was such an elite force on its head without being on the blade, but he followed Kawada Kunaki's confused advice and let him travel thousands of miles to Black Stone Village to waste time. It is really unclear whether the heads of the staff of the Operations Department were arched by wild boars, (Note 2)

The more he didn't understand the decision of the headquarters, the more he looked at Kōaki Kawata who was riding in the same command vehicle with him, the more ridiculous he felt. Thinking back then, Kawata Nakasa had been very energetic. Who would have expected that after only a small setback, he became this cowardly appearance. Not only did he walk on thin ice along the way, he also arranged two platoons of puppet cavalry to wrap the command vehicle, which was as if a bullet could be shot at any time from the thorns on the grassland, and it could hit his own sky spirit cover.

Thinking of this, Nakasa Otashi couldn't help but sneer and persuade, "Kun Kawada, don't be so nervous, just the combined forces of our two hands have exceeded one full brigade. I have never heard of anyone who has suffered a defeat except yourself."

Despite hearing the sarcasm in Okuta's last words, Kawada Kunaki still suppressed his anger and explained patiently, "Forgive me, Lord Yu, I am not nervous, but I give the attention I deserve to pay. You may not know that this 8th Route Army team is very different from our previous battle opponents."

Unexpectedly, the same level as him and his military qualifications were far inferior to his. However, he did not restrain himself at all. He curled his lips and continued to sarcastically, "It's different, how can it be different? Are they all the elders all yellow-haired and blue-eyed? Or are they holding a full set of Soviet-Russian equipment, and there are heavy artillery and tanks to cheer. If it's really that powerful, the Black Stone Village may still belong to our great Japanese empire?"

"Of course it's impossible." Kawada Kunaki was asked so that his eyes turned black, and his voice increased a little without realizing it. "Koyu-kun himself knew that what I was talking about was not about personnel composition and equipment. In fact, their composition and equipment were slightly better than the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, but they were also very limited. What I was talking about was their soldier training level and the commander's combat awareness. Whether in Manchuria or Mongolian grassland, you probably couldn't find a second team of the same style!"

"Oh, then I have to open my eyes." Okata Nakasa was stunned for a moment, curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders, and seven were dissatisfied with eight resentment. "When the time comes, you have to weigh it. What real skills does the Tujiao Route Army that can force Kawata Nakasa to prepare for more than half a year and dare not take any action alone, what are the real skills?"

This was a bit of a deliberate slap in the face. Although he was not satisfied with the ownership of the command of this operation, he should not behave like this. Shirakawa Shiro, the combat staff member sitting in the front co-pilot position, could not bear it anymore. He turned around and defended Kawada Kunaki with a smile, "Koshi-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun

"Ha, this is the first time I have heard this statement. Shirakawa Jun is worthy of being a top student at Lu University. He is so smart when he finds an excuse." Ota shrugged for the last time, not believing Shiro Shirakawa's words at all. It's cowardly, and he is looking for a high-sounding excuse. Looking at the Kanto Army, who doesn't know that the dignified Kawata brigade was actually knocked on by the Tujiao Eighth Route Army. Nearly 100 casualties were not counted, and the weapons and ammunition were burned out by someone. It was the Chief of Staff Isotani Ryosuke who protected him, so he asked him to continue to squat behind the city wall of the Black Stone Village. If he didn't look at the face of the Chief of Staff Isotani, he, Kawata Kyosaki, had long been sent to the military court, and he would not have the chance to be the commander-in-chief of this operation with a shameless face.

"Koshi-kun is wrong again. This is definitely not an excuse, but a strange plan that only wise people can understand. As for those casual people, they may only be blind with their eyes open." Shirakawa Shiro would not endure the last time to the lord as Kawada Kunaki, shrugged as if he were the other person, and looked disdainful.

"I'm blind, Shirakawa-kun said to me?" Oji's face turned red for the last time. He stared at Shirakawa Shiro, hoping that two flying knives could be shot out in his eyes.

"I never said that if Nakasa Nakasa had to think this way, no one could stop him." Shirakawa Shiro continued to shrugged his back to Nakada for the last time, sneering.

Kawata Kōaki was unwilling to provoke Oshitsu, but he didn't take the other party seriously. According to his opinion, the arrogant and domineering Nakazo behind him relied on a good surname. In fact, not only did he not have any real skills, the Oshi family might not take this other branch seriously. Otherwise, the position waiting for him to be the last time would not be the squadron leader of the front-line troops but the senior staff of the headquarters of the base camp. Although Oshitsu is a trumpet with excellent traditions and glorious history, the rank of the highest commander of the headquarters is two levels higher than that of other ordinary squadrons, the head of the army is the head of the army. Compared with the base camp where the marshal and generals are all day long, no matter how glamorous the others are and how fast they will be in the future, they are more than 100,000 kilometers apart. (Note 3)

"Baga,,." The last time Okata was completely stimulated, and instinctively wanted to pull out the knife to maintain his military dignity. However, thinking of the other party's surname that was as uncommon as he did, he cautiously put away his anger, turned his eyes to Kawada Kunaki, and said in a deep voice: "Kun Kawada, this is how you teach your subordinates? It seems that my trip to the grassland really is going to be a big eye." (Note 4)

"Master Shirakawa is the staff member sent by the Kanto Army headquarters to assist in formulating the combat plan. Strictly speaking, he is not under my jurisdiction." Even Kawada Kunaki is a clay Buddha, after all, he is somewhat earthy. He glanced at Kota for the last time and gave the other party a soft nail.

Kazusa was very uncomfortable when he was stabbed in the last time, but he was even more sure that the background of Shirakawa's staff in front of him might not be inferior to him. After gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, he suppressed his anger and whispered: "It turns out that Shirakawa's grandson was gilded from the headquarters to the front line. No wonder he was so confident. But I would like to ask for advice, why didn't this opportunity come early or late? It was just that I was ordered to lead my troops to arrive, and it came."

"There is an old Chinese saying that the last straw crushes the camel, but, 吴吴吴, do you really think that the last straw crushes the camel?" Shiro Shirakawa turned around and asked in a low voice.

"I hope to hear it carefully." Oyu was slightly stunned when asked for the last time, and said with a frown.

"Do you know, the most difficult place for the guerrillas to deal with? The Kwantung Army has been fighting against the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army for so many years, but why hasn't it been completely eradicated?" Shirakawa Shiro refused to answer his words directly, and used two rebellious questions in succession, making his eyes straight and his ears buzzing.

After thinking for a long time, Eryu barely found a few answers for the last time and said tentatively: "Are the guerrillas? The most difficult thing to deal with is of course their characteristics of running away when they see the situation is not good. The Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations has not been able to wipe out it, and it should be because of this."

"The answer is correct." Shirakawa Shiro gently stroked his palms like a praising elementary school student. "The grassland is so vast that if you can't wipe out the guerrillas in one battle, but just kill them away, Nakasa Kota, how long do you think they will be rekindled," said Shirakawa Shirakawa.

"This" Nakazusa was asked without any temper. While thinking, hesitatingly responded, "It shouldn't take long, especially the Eighth Route Army. He has always had a very good relationship with the people. If he really wants to recruit soldiers, he can just pull up a team."

"It's totally correct." Shirakawa Shiro kept patting each other with his hands, encouraging Nakasa Ota to cooperate with him. "If the guerrillas start business, have industries under their name, and have a lot of people around him who must be protected. Can Ota Jun still be called guerrillas?"

Note 1: The organization of the traitor troops in the puppet Manchukuo is very strange. Usually, a regiment has only more than 600 troops, and basically no weighted weapons or few weighted weapons.

Note 2: The Second Russo-Japanese War, which occurred in the Nomenhan battle from May to September 1939. At first, the radicals in the Kwantung Army were looking forward to upgrading this battle to the Second Russo-Japanese War, which would recreate the glory of the First Russo-Japanese War. As a result, shortly after the battle began, I found that my strength was far from that of the Soviet army, so I had to take the initiative to seek peace and ended hastily.

Note 3: During World War II, nepotism was quite serious in the Japanese army, and the phenomenon of father-son-in-law and brother-in-law was very common. The relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law and adoptive father-son can also become an important help in obtaining good positions.

Note 4: Maintain the dignity of military rank. People with strict ranks and high ranks have absolute authority over those with lower ranks than themselves. When offended, they can take necessary measures, except when the subordinates pick up the group and defeat the top.
