Chapter 5: The Little Child (Nine Middle School)

It took an hour to put the puppet troops back together, including Shi Lanbin, the Major General of the Security Brigade who fell off the horse, who took the initiative to fall off the horse, was also carried by several confidant soldiers on a stretcher made with a temporary rush with a rifle, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

"Please carry him to the car and arrange for emergency rescue immediately." Looking at the Imperial Army around him, Kōaki Kawada suppressed the urge to shoot Shi Lanbin's forehead and shouted, "The situation is already like this, and killing Shi Lanbin can't save anything. Besides, although Shi Lanbin's ability and courage are not very good, he is quite cohesive in the security brigade. If he is executed on the spot without trial, it will undoubtedly make the morale of the security brigade on the verge of collapse.

"Tie them up and shoot them." Before the puppet major general brigade commander Shi Lanbin was placed, Kawada Guoaki pointed at the two frightened puppet army commanders Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu, and shouted again.

"Hiyi." Several Japanese soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, pinning the two pseudo regiment commanders Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu to the ground, and tied them up.

"Unforgive." It was not until they were tied into rice dumplings that the two fake commanders Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu realized that the disaster was coming, and they both opened their voices and shouted loudly, "Unforgive, the Lord is kind, unjust, unjust, unjust, we two have done our best. It's not that we don't do our best, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cruel, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cruel."

"Try your best," Kawada Kuniha sneered loudly, "You two have tried their best, and they will still cause Brigade Commander Shi to be so seriously injured. You two have tried their best, why didn't you even get a hair on your body? "

This question was somewhat erratic. At that time, the guerrillas suddenly turned around and launched a final charge towards the puppet major general brigade Shi Lanbin. Among the nearly 1,000 puppet troops in the security brigade at that time, only a very small number of people who stood in front of the Eighth Route Horse had a head-on contact with them. Most of the other puppet troops had no time to react, and they could not even chase the enemy.

However, someone must be pulled out to be responsible for the failure just now. Kawada Guoaki was not qualified and dared not execute Shi Lanbin on the spot. The two unlucky leaders in front of him had to pay the price for their "inaction". In the last short and fierce battle, because Shi Lanbin and the two commanders under his command did not respond, twenty-seven elite Japanese imperial soldiers in charge of supervising the war were trampled to death by war horses. In addition, more than 30 imperial soldiers were injured in various severity, and the total loss of personnel totaled up to more than sixty, far exceeding the bodies of the guerrillas who were left behind.

Of course, the puppet army suffered more casualties, and the total number of last battles alone exceeded 100. However, in the eyes of all the Japanese soldiers of Kawata Kōta, these cannon fodders in the Imperial Army were just a bunch of meaningless numbers. If you die, you will be able to fight again. How can you compare with the warriors of the Yamato nation?

"Unforgivable, unjust." The two unlucky ghost commanders were mopping the ground with their feet, struggling desperately, and refused to be dragged away by the Japanese soldiers. "The Eighth Route Army was moving too fast at that time, and we didn't have time to react at that time. Didn't Sato and Lieutenant Sato shoot?"

The last sentence was exactly at the critical point, which made Kawada Kunaki's old face turn red, and his eyes looking at the two unlucky ghost commanders became more and more full of hatred.

Indeed, the attack target of the guerrillas changed suddenly, which exceeded the reaction ability of everyone on their side. The corresponding tactical adjustments made by Kawada Kuniha himself became hindsight and had no effect at all.

However, the Great Japanese Imperial Army was slow to react because the Great Japanese Imperial Army was full of infantry, and no one was familiar with the characteristics and rhythm of cavalry fighting. However, your security brigade was a cavalry brigade that was replaced. Why did the reaction speed be slower than the infantry of the Great Japanese Imperial Empire? Besides, what qualifications do you two small colonel commanders have to compete with the lieutenant of the Great Japanese Imperial Army?

Thinking of this, Kawada Guoaki could no longer bear it. He pulled out the command knife from his waist with a "scarlet" and strode towards the two unlucky people who were pretending to be dead dogs. The pseudo colonel leader Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu were preparing to cut off their heads and hang them on the car to warn you. Before he could get to the place, the puppet troops around him knelt down a large area, shouting "Taijun's kindness", while robbing the land with their heads, begging Kawada Guoaki to keep people under the sword and give the two regiment commanders a chance to make meritorious service.

"Well,." Kawada Kunihara frowned, and the knife that had been raised above his head could not fall down immediately. He never expected that the two unlucky commanders were so popular in the security brigade that there would be so many puppet soldiers. They risked being vented by themselves and took the initiative to plead for them. Most of them were middle and lower-level officers, and their epaulettes were dazzling in the sun.

"Kun Kawada, there is an old Chinese saying that if a rabbit is killed by a hunter, the fox will cry." Shirakawa Shiro caught up from behind, gently pulled Kawada Kunaki's sleeve, reminding him in a very small voice.

"Yes." Kawada Kunaki frowned and looked at his right-hand assistant with suspicious eyes, his face gloomy.

"Kun Kawada calms down. Although their performance is a little worse, they are usually loyal to the empire. If they kill them now, they may not be conducive to our army's next action." Okuta also stepped forward for the last time and pleaded for the two unlucky guys. "Braft Commander Shi will definitely not be able to continue commanding the brigade to cooperate with the Imperial Army. If the two commanders of the regiment have also been enforced, we will have to promote new people from the brigade. The new people will go from familiar with the troops to commanding the battle, after all, it will take a little time."

"This is true." Kawada Kunaki still had to consider some of the common opinions of Shiro Shirakawa and Jiro Kotaki. He frowned and put away his knife, and asked in a low voice: "Then what do you think should be dealt with? The Imperial Army cannot indulge this negative behavior in any case."

"It's better to record their guilt first, and then offset their merits and demerits after they have eliminated the Black Stone Guerrillas. If they have not shown repentance at that time, no matter how we deal with it, I believe no one in the security brigade can speak." Shiro Shirakawa smiled again and responded lightly.

"Did you two hear it?" Kawada Guoao kicked Zhang Jinbao with his toes and asked loudly.

"I heard it, I thank you for your kindness in not killing you, and thank you for your kindness in not killing you." Two pseudo-subject commanders Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu immediately rushed to the feet of Kawata Guozhao and burst into tears.

"Let them loose." Kawada Kunaki glanced at the two of them in disgust and moved his body slightly back. Deep in his heart, he was one hundred and twenty pugs that looked down on such unbroken pugs. However, there were hundreds of pugs watching around him, and he could not express his disgust too clearly.

"Hay." Some of the Japanese soldiers agreed, bent down, and used bayonets to break the ropes that tied up the two unlucky guys. Just as their arms were restored to their freedom, Zhang Jinbao and Yang Yaozu climbed forward several steps, snot and tears, and cried and expressed their words, "Thank you, thank you, the officer for not killing, the kindness of not killing. I will immediately lead the troops to the Crescent Lake Market and fight to the death with the guerrillas."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, and I am willing to serve as the front line, to open the way for the Imperial Japanese Army, to open the road across mountains, and to build bridges across water."

"Get out and stand." Kawada Kunaki jumped away like he was hiding from the plague and snatched the two pseudo-sponsors' heads, "You two are worthy of fighting to the death with Red Beard. Should you send free arms to the guerrillas or prepare to escape halfway? Just stand aside and wait for the orders. What should you do next? It's not your turn to talk too much."

"Hey, hey." Two pseudo-sponsors who escaped from death retreated aside with sweat. No one dared to say a word more. After finally escaping, it was necessary to express his opinion to Kawada Kuniha, but after the performance, he should know to hide himself in the crowd as soon as possible. As for being a pioneer to chase and kill Red Beard and Iron Yunlong, he would really want to do that only by being kicked by a donkey. Brigade Commander Shi was lying in the car, and the idiot wanted to follow his footsteps.

Without caring about what the two puppet corps commanders were fighting in their stomachs, Kawada Kunaki quickly turned his attention to his think tank, combat staff officer Shirakawa Shiro, "Shirakawa, given the current situation, you think."

"I just figured out something based on the actual situation. Whether it is possible or not, Kawada-kun will make the final decision." Shirakawa Shiro smiled modestly and responded in a low voice, "Because the security brigade is not in good condition, the plan we originally formulated to encircle and annihilate the Black Stone guerrillas must have a certain degree of adjustment. At present, the main cavalry forces of Iran and Fatty Zhang, who led the guerrillas, were missing. In order to gather the security brigade, the imperial army has been delayed for too long. Even if they get up now, they are rushing to the Crescent Lake Market. When they reach their destination, the vendors and the left-behind guerrillas have already escaped, and it is impossible to block them by the lake again."

"Indeed." Kawada Kuniaki nodded regretfully and glanced at the truck that was treating Shi Lanbin, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"After this operation is completed, the security brigade is going to the border between Manchuria and Outer Mongolia to carry out combat missions against the Soviet Union." Shirakawa Shiro lowered his voice and reminded Kawata Kwanaki that there was no need to spend too much energy on the cannon fodder that was about to die. "And their performance just now was not useless. At least, through their own efforts, they have caused the guerrilla cavalry to suffer a certain blow. The situation just now will definitely not happen again."

"Well,." Kawada Kunaki was stunned by the words, and the fierce light in his eyes gradually turned into confusion.

"I just made a rough count." Shirakawa Shiro took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket, and while writing, he analyzed in a low voice, "From the first time the guerrilla cavalry fought us, they have sacrificed forty-six people, nine of whom have obvious Belarusian national characteristics on their faces. According to our pre-explored information, there are only five squadrons of guerrilla warriors under the Red Beard. Together with more than 70 Belarusian horse thieves he collected last year, the total number of all combatants is about 230. Among these more than 230 combatants, the qualified cavalry is about two-thirds."

"You mean, the Red Bearded Cavalry is at the end of its strength." Kawada Kunaki's eyes lit up instantly, he stared at his think tank and asked loudly.

"Kawada-kun is really amazing." Shirakawa Shiro smiled and flattered his boss and continued to analyze, "Suppose there are 150 cavalry under Red Beard, and if the forty-six dead people are removed, there will be more than 100 left. He will not be able to bring all the cavalry to the market to undertake the security work."

"You mean, the one who just entered Yunlong was already all the cavalry that Red Beard could take out at this moment." Kawada Kunizaki was excited and almost jumped up and asked loudly. If this was the case, the failure just now was not completely unacceptable. After all, his department's strategic intentions had been realized, and he used the insignificant waste from the security brigade to replace one-third of the main force of the guerrillas.

Not to mention that the exchange ratio with the guerrillas reached 5 to 1, even if ten puppet troops exchanged one guerrilla cavalry, Kawada Kunaki thought he had made a fortune. For the last time, Shirakawa Shiro and his two views were similar to him, and they both automatically ignored the casualties of the puppet troops.

"Staff General Shirakawa means that so far, the initiative is still in our hands."

"Indeed, the development of the situation in this battle has not yet been out of control."

The two of them emphasized loudly at almost the same time, and their blood-filled eyes were full of hideousness.

As the highest rank in this army, Kōaki Kawada still knows a little bit of humility. After pondering for a moment, he continued to say: "When Shirakawa Jun's meaning, how should we adjust specifically and continue to enter the market on the Crescent Lake? Or find a way to trick the guerrilla cavalry into them."

"There is no need to go to the market by the Crescent Lake. After all the vendors have withdrawn, Red Beard cannot continue to wait for us." Shirakawa Shirakawa shook his head gently, then sneered slightly, "Let's change the target and go directly to the old nest where Red Beard is holding."

"What?" Kawada Kunaki's voice rose again, with unconcealed surprise inside.
