"In just fifteen days, thirteen of our twenty-three scattered teams were attacked... Three of the troops that went to attack the National Defense Forces routes, supply lines and towns were all shattered..."

"The base camp did not comment on our combat methods, nothing. The new base camp commander, General Yamada Otsuzo, gave us the only order: stick to Yizhou and maintain the offensive posture against the National Defense Forces..."

In the jungle, Kodama Tomohiro was having a meeting with Japanese military officers from his headquarters. They were all wearing shorts and shorts and could no longer maintain their appearance in Yizhou City.

There is nothing you can do about it. It is really difficult to maintain your appearance in the jungle. Bugs, mosquitoes, leeches, spiders and poisonous snakes are everywhere.

These may kill Japanese soldiers at any time. At this time, they care more about how to survive rather than those useless instruments.

"Since entering the jungle, our non-combat attrition has reached more than 2,100 people. Some soldiers have developed dysentery, scarlet fever, malaria... and other diseases..."

None of the reports from the staff officers was good news. Non-combat attrition was serious, and plans to attack the National Defense Forces were repeatedly frustrated. Even some Japanese squads were unfamiliar with jungle warfare, which led to their whereabouts being exposed and being surrounded and annihilated.

The base camp has obviously entered a period of consolidation after Hideki Tojo resigned. The newly appointed chief of the General Staff Headquarters, Yamada Otozo, did not give much evaluation of their combat unit in Yizhou.

Even the telegrams sent to Yizhou are often simple and direct. Even a fool can feel the perfunctoryness in those words.

It was nothing more than official statements such as "Fight bravely for the Empire and do not tarnish the reputation of His Majesty and the Emperor's people". In fact, Kodama Tomohiro believed that these telegrams were probably not sent by the commander-in-chief himself.

He just gave an order, and naturally the staff of the General Staff Headquarters helped him draft such a telegram and sent it to Yizhou. The General Staff Headquarters once did not know how many such telegrams had to be issued every day.

But despite this, Kodama Tomoo still needs telegrams from the base camp to stabilize people's hearts. The Japanese troops staying in Yizhou are already alone. In fact, everyone knows what is waiting for them.

But no one would challenge this fact. The telegrams from the base camp were the only way for them to maintain their fantasy existence. Only the telegrams were constantly sent and circulated to the hands of the Japanese soldiers.

Only then will they have the courage to continue fighting. But if this anger is vented, then the entire Japanese army in Yizhou will fall apart...

"Except for these, is there any good news we can hear..." Higuchi Keishichiro, Chief of Staff of the Yizhou Garrison, rubbed his brows and sighed.

"If it's good news... maybe the local tribes in Yizhou we contacted have agreed to cooperate with us in fighting. This may be considered good news..."

The staff officer paused and said: "Of course, they don't have any weapons. The best they have is more than a hundred gunpowder guns, all homemade."

Is this good news? Maybe it’s just that, these local tribes in Yizhou have been purged more than once, and most of the remaining tribes are more obedient tribes.

Moreover, most of these tribes live in the mountains and are not familiar with the situation outside the mountains at all. In other words, the reason why they are willing to help the Japanese army is because they were scared by the Japanese army.

If they knew about the existence and strength of the National Defense Forces, God knows whether these tribes would rebel before the battle.

"Send our people into their villages, and all their men must come out to fight." Higuchi Keishichiro was silent for a while and said: "We have to seize their leverage. These Yizhou tribes cannot be trusted!"

"I also think we should do this. It is best to move all their families to be imprisoned near us after their people follow us out."

Tomohiro Kodama nodded and said coldly: "If they dare to contact the National Defense Forces during the attack, then let the people left behind destroy all these tribes!"

"Then, leave this matter to me..." Higuchi Keishichiro said harshly: "If they don't obey, then I will let them know what regret is!"

At the same time, Juhani was pacing anxiously in his bamboo house. It has been more than half a month since Malaos left, and there has been no news so far.

Juhani had his own news channel, and he soon learned that Japan suffered a tragic defeat in other areas of Yizhou. More than a thousand Japanese troops were annihilated.

The heads of the Japanese soldiers were cut off and hung on trees outside various towns. The other tribes also gradually learned about this situation.

The tribes began to let go of their past grudges and communicate with each other. They finally saw that the Japanese were at the end of their rope. Unwilling to be wiped out, they were now preparing to bring in some scapegoats.

And these tribes of their own are the scapegoats they fancy.

Juhani really wanted to send more people out to see if he could contact the National Defense Forces, but there were a large number of Japanese troops living near his tribe for surveillance.

Obviously, the Japanese did not trust themselves. This made Juhani dare not act rashly, for fear that once his actions attracted the attention of the Japanese army, it would bring disaster to the entire tribe.

There are more than 30 rifles hidden in the tribe, and he also has five pistols. The rest are all powder guns. Juhani does not think that these can stop the Japanese army who are armed to the teeth outside.

Those set up machine guns only need to sweep around the stockade. Then there will not be many people left in the stockade who can breathe. At that time, the Japanese will not even have to come in, they will just burn the stockade with fire.

"Patriarch! Patriarch!" At this time, a shout came from outside the door. Youhani opened the door and walked out of the bamboo building, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a Yuha costume downstairs said anxiously to Youhani who came out.

"Chief, the army outside requires us to gather all the men to fight with them. From fifty to fifteen years old, no one is allowed to be missing! Chief, what should we do now?!"

Before Juhani who came out had a chance to ask what was going on, the man said everything in one breath. After hearing the news, Juhani sighed.

What is supposed to come is finally coming, what else can I do now?!

"Inform everyone in the village to assemble..." Youhani, who was silent for a while on the bamboo tower, said helplessly: "Let everyone assemble... I will go over and talk to them in a while..."

Yohani said as he walked down the bamboo building. He glanced at the forest opposite his bamboo building. Only he and a few elders in the village knew that the forest contained the biggest secret of the village - more than thirty people.

rifle and five pistols.

This is the biggest support of the stockade, and it is also the secret that the stockade cannot expose. The origin of those guns is not fair. Some of them were even obtained by Yuhani and his men hunting Japanese soldiers in other stockade areas.

Because of these guns, a number of people died in the stockade. However, the stockades near the disappearance of the Japanese soldiers were directly attacked by the Japanese army. The entire stockade turned into a scorched earth.

The first shot was fired because a lone and drunk Japanese soldier wanted to snatch the wild boar they had captured. The angry man accidentally shot the Japanese soldier to death.

In order to deal with the aftermath, Juhani had to lead people to dispose of the Japanese soldier's body overnight and issued a hush-up order. When the Japanese soldier's body appeared near other villages, that village was cleared by the Japanese.

It was also from then on that Juhani was determined to keep looking for guns. He led his men to look for lone Japanese soldiers near other villages.

Then get rid of them and bring the guns back to the stockade. Over time, the number of guns in the stockade has reached the current number.

"Malaos... you must find a way out of the village! Otherwise, our tribe will be completely destroyed..." Yohani thought as he walked downstairs.

There are many clan leaders who think like Juhani, but Higuchi Keishichiro has no time to pay attention to it. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.

He believed that the machine guns he set up in front of the stockade would make the natives of Yizhou wake up. If they were not awake yet, Higuchi Keishichiro would not mind killing a few chickens to show them how to wake up.

He is now counting how many people can join his coercion army. Those who originally worked as police officers during the Japanese occupation are now wanted and hunted down by the National Defense Forces.

It is safe to say that those whose hands were not contaminated with human life were at most subjected to hard labor. And those who had assisted the Japanese army in encircling and suppressing villages were almost all shot directly.

A large number of Yizhou locals who used to be policemen chose to bring weapons and join the Japanese army in the mountains and forests. These people were desperate, and their only choice now was to follow their own path into darkness.

From this point of view, these people are much more reliable than those in the village. Unfortunately, the intensity of the encirclement and suppression by the National Defense Forces was too strong. Only more than 2,000 Japanese troops could be found after they fled to the jungle.

That's all.

"Distribute our weapons and ammunition. As for the natives, we don't need to give them anything." Higuchi Keishichiro held a statistical table in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This time we attack Monjia, we must ensure that

The success of the action.”

"There is a large amount of supplies there. As long as we defeat them, we can continue to support the war." After a pause, Higuchi Keishichiro said harshly: "As for the natives... let them be the ones who block the guns! They can serve the warriors of the empire.

Taking some bullets is considered an honor for them!"

The battle plan had been drawn up long ago, and Kodama Tomohio did not personally take charge. These orders were all given by Higuchi Keishichiro.

"Hai!" After recording the orders, the staff officer handed them over to Higuchi Keishichiro for review. Only after obtaining the latter's signature could he pass on the orders.

Higuchi Keishichiro rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the chair without saying a word. Seeing this, the adjutant wanted to say something, but was driven away by Higuchi Keishichiro with a wave of his hand.

The current situation of the Japanese army is very bad. Neither Kodama Tomooo nor Higuchi Keishichiro know how long they can hold on. The National Defense Force troops have landed and are chasing the Japanese army in Manyizhou.

The jungle is the best hiding place, but it is also a dangerous place. There are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, each of which can easily kill Japanese soldiers.

Higuchi Keishichiro even calculated for himself that even if the National Defense Forces did not encircle and suppress him, the Japanese army would collapse for up to a year. In a jungle with no supplies and darkness, it would be strange for the army not to fall apart.

In order to maintain the situation and also to replenish supplies, Kodama Tomooo and Higuchi Keishichiro formulated this plan to attack Monjia. This plan was not opposed by anyone.

Perhaps all the Japanese officers had this idea in their hearts, since they were all going to die, why not die more happily?! The Japanese's natural gambling surname was once again reflected in them.

Their attack will either capture Monjia and obtain a large amount of supplies while being able to sustain it, or they will be completely annihilated by the National Defense Forces and then disappear from Yizhou.

They have made both preparations. Now they are just waiting for the moment when the answer is revealed, life or death will be the same.

"It seems that the gambling surname of these gangsters has expanded again. They actually want to attack Monjia?!" Lu Han sneered while holding the intelligence in his headquarters.

I have to admire the intelligence gathering ability of the General Staff. Even now, the Yizhou Japanese Army still has insiders from the General Staff. The situation of those Japanese troops has already been figured out before they are dispatched.

The defeat of the Japanese army during this period has to be attributed to the intelligence department of the General Staff. More than 70% of the Japanese army's offensive information has been obtained. Unfortunately, the insiders have never figured out the location of the main force of the Japanese army.

This time, the Japanese army also gathered the main force, and this insider was able to get in touch with the main force.

"Commander, they finally stopped hunting and hiding! Let's take advantage of this opportunity to kill them?!" An Sibo, commander of the First Army Corps of the South China Military Region, was gearing up with great excitement.

After returning from the battlefield in Southeast Asia, Lao An has never fought a serious victory. This makes him very regretful. The landing battles on Qiongdao and Yizhou were both fought by the Marine Corps.

.

After the South China Military Region came over, they basically carried out the mission of suppressing bandits. The little blood really made Lao An feel that it was not enough. Finally, the Japanese couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to jump out. How could this not make Lao An excited?

!

"They want to die, so let's let them die." Lu Han smiled and said: "Spread the word, I've been staying in Monjia recently..."

When An Sibo heard what Lu Han said, he immediately gave a thumbs up. The commander of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Force is in Monjia, which will undoubtedly make the Japanese even more excited.

If the commander of the South China Military Region is killed, the entire Yizhou will be in chaos. The combined fleet of the National Defense Force and Navy has now withdrawn from Yizhou, and the Marine Corps has also withdrawn.

The South China Military Region is now in charge of Yizhou. If Lu Han is killed, the entire Yizhou and even Minjiang, northern Guangdong and other places will inevitably fall into chaos for a period of time.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Japanese army could fish in troubled waters. They looted a large amount of materials from other areas where the National Defense Forces were stationed in Yizhou. Of course, after the chaos, they would face an all-out encirclement and suppression by the National Defense Forces.

However, if you can kill a military district commander of the National Defense Force, I believe the Japanese will not think too much about it.

"Xiao An, go and call everyone for a meeting." Lu Han sneered and said, "Since the Japanese are coming, it would not be our way of hospitality if we don't entertain them properly!"

The Japanese army in Yizhou was planning to attack Monjia, while Tu Mengben was planning to land in Japan. The three landing operations were actually for the navy and marines to accumulate experience.

The landing operation for the final attack on the Japanese mainland is the top priority of the National Defense Force's strategy!

"How is the situation in Fukuoka now?!" Tu Mengben was reading the telegram sent by the navy. They had replenished supplies in Shanghai and were on their way to Seoul.

After the combined fleet and marines all arrive, the landing operation on the Japanese mainland will enter the countdown stage.
To be continued...
