Chapter 41, one thing, two sets of rhetoric
Lu'an County, part of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army was stationed here to assist the Japanese army in garrison.
In the villa of the brigade commander Wu Pinghe, a puppet army who escaped from Wanjia Town explained the reason for the defeat in fear and trepidation.
"Sir, it's not that the brothers don't work hard, it's because the Eighth Route Army is so powerful.
We don’t know what we have yet, the Eighth Route Army has already entered.
Many of them were holding machine guns. As soon as they raised the gun, they swept over a round of bullets.
The brothers were beaten to death as soon as they showed up, and they could not stop them at all!
With one stick of incense and one stick of incense, the brothers were all dispersed. Those who were dead and those who were unable to escape had to surrender.
I was smarter, stripped off my skin, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and avoided the search of the Eighth Route Army.
Otherwise, no one would report to the superior today.”
Wu Pinghe frowned when he heard this, "What are you pulling?"
He still doesn't know how poor the Eighth Route Army is. He eats steamed buns every day, and he wishes he could use one bullet as two bullets.
Where are there so many machine guns and so many bullets?
At first glance, it was the one below who had lost the battle, exaggerated the enemy's strength, and excused himself from his crimes.
But the problem is that you have to say something reliable even when lying.
You said that there is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army. There are so many Eighth Route Army, so it is not uncommon for one regiment to attack Wanjia Town.
But the Eighth Route Army has so many machine guns, can you believe it as a Japanese?
Wu Pinghe didn't want to argue with a small squad leader, so he waved his hand to drive him away, and stayed alone in the room for a long time.
The Japanese must have known that it is not a trivial matter to lose a cavalry battalion.
How should I explain it to the Japanese?
You have to take the initiative.
"Come, prepare the car, and go to the military police headquarters."
A brigade of the Japanese army was stationed in Lu'an County. The captain of the brigade, Major Ishihara, was the highest commander of the county.
Even though Wu Pinghe was a brigade commander with thousands of men, his status was really inferior to Major Ishihara.
After all, he is a member of the winner, and he is just a slave who betrays the motherland and bows down.
When he arrived at the military police headquarters, the first sentence of Major Ishihara when he saw Wu Pinghe was said, "Mr. Ng, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Major Ishihara's superiors have sent an inquiry, asking who did it because of the destruction of the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town.
When a war fails, someone always has to be responsible for it. The pressure will naturally be conveyed layer by layer, and the people below will take the blame.
Wu Pinghe had already thought about it before coming and started his story.
The enemy of the cavalry battalion was a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, equipped with dozens of machine guns, and the firepower was very fierce.
After being suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the cavalry battalion rose up to resist and fought to the point of one soldier and one soldier.
However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the cavalry became infantry. After resisting for several hours, no reinforcements were seen.
He was brutally destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.
To sum up, it is not that our army is too incompetent, but that friendly forces are too cheating and do not come to help.
In this way, the responsibility for the elimination of the cavalry battalion is not much greater than that of sesame.
Once he was shared by his friendly forces, Wu Pinghe would have no responsibility and even made contributions.
After all, the cavalry had been exhausted and caused a lot of damage to the Eighth Route Army.
Anyway, the Japanese cannot find the Eighth Route Army to verify, so that's not what he said.
"Nani?"
Major Ishihara heard that it was a lawsuit.
"How could there be a regiment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Wanjia Town? People in the town said that the Eighth Route Army had only a few hundred people, so how could it be a regiment!"
Which unethical thing told the Japanese, isn’t this causing trouble for me?
Wu Pinghe was not panicked, and he could write casually: "Taijun, the Eighth Route Army is good at retaining reserve teams.
One battalion attacked Wanjia Town, and two battalions were guarding the Imperial Army in front of them.
Besides, the terrain of Wanjia Town cannot be spread out, and the Eighth Route Army is fighting a wheel battle."
This explanation is reasonable.
Major Ishihara has no doubts about the number of the Eighth Route Army, but he has a negative attitude towards how long the cavalry battalion has lasted.??
The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army has been concluded in the army.
If there is a Great Japanese Imperial Army in charge of the battle, the Imperial Army will still have 1/10 of the Great Japanese Imperial Army.
But if we act alone, the Imperial Army has no combat will at all and its combat power is not enough.
It is precisely because of this that the Imperial Army used them as cannon fodder for landmines.
How long did the Cavalry Battalion fight with the Eighth Route Army have been a question worth thinking about. The value of consideration is not very large.
Major Ishihara absent-mindedly asked about the details of the battle, and Wu Pinghe made up lies.
China is vast and has a large population, and the lives of hundreds of Chinese people are not worth mentioning. In just one sentence, there are many people who serve in the army and eat food.
What made the upper part angry was the equipment and horses of the cavalry battalion. If the Eighth Route Army obtained it, it would increase its strength to fight against the Imperial Army.
It is a great disadvantage for the Imperial Army of Japan.
"Brig Commander Wu, I will report the whole story of this matter to Captain Nakajima. The entire cavalry battalion was destroyed, so the matter could not be forgotten.
You have to figure out which Eighth Route Army is doing the trick? Where are they now? The Great Japanese Imperial Army cannot only suffer losses or take advantage of them."
Major Ishihara stared at Wu Pinghe's eyes and said very seriously.
To limit the development of the Eighth Route Army, they must be exhausted.
"Yes, I will definitely do it."
Wu Pinghe agreed very readily.
He dared not to agree. The Japanese are his master. When the master spoke, the slave could only execute it.
However, it is not certain whether to do your best or not.
When to figure out who the enemy is and where the enemy is, you have to carefully grasp it.
The Japanese fought with the Eighth Route Army, and they were always the ones who suffered losses.
Is it not good to stay in the city if you have nothing to do? I have to go out of the city and find it easy.
The Japanese side has passed for the time being.
...
On the Eighth Route Army side, Yuan Lang took over and explained to Zhao Gang how Lao Li made a fortune in the New First Regiment.
Do you know how bitter the new one is?
The gun was made of old sleeves in Hanyang, and the rifle was smoothed. In this way, the two men in the whole regiment were less than a gun.
There are less than ten light machine guns, and there is not a single heavy machine gun.
Lao Li went to find the brigade commander, guess what the brigade commander said?
If you don’t have a gun, you will die. You, Li Yunlong, see how many guns my head is worth, so you cut it and get it to change the gun!
Lao Li said: I am a regiment commander of the regular army after all, so I can't be even worse than the county brigade! Isn't that a bad brand of our brigade?
The brigade commander said, I have equipment, what do I want you to do? Since you can be the regiment commander, you have the ability to do guns.
Otherwise, go home and take the child, don't embarrass me here.
OK, Lao Li was waiting for this sentence, it would be fine to make him shoot, but he couldn't carry a tight spell!
I have to give some autonomy... I want to make a gun and want him to be a good boy, that's unreasonable...
I played a stand-up crosstalk in front of Zhao Gang. I didn’t have Lao Li’s heartfelt emotions, but I couldn’t resist the good words and things were inspiring.
Zhao Gang realized after listening to it. He said that Lao Li is the real hero, and he misunderstood Lao Li.
Of course, the two should have made up their past grudges.
He went to find Li Yunlong, and when he saw Li Yunlong laughing and gritting his teeth.
What's the matter? After a while, Captain Li went crazy?
