Just as the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were celebrating their victory, Guitian, who had fled in a panic, did not return to Dongsitou Village but went straight to Xigou Village.
The senior captain of Xigou Village was Kameda's classmate. Kameda knew that he didn't have enough troops. If he continued to fight, he would be courting death.
That was why he had decided to go to Xigou Village to ask for reinforcements. As a soldier, Kamita had his own pride. To be honest, he would not have come if he had no other choice.
Murakami was the senior captain of the garrison in Xigou Village, and was known as the China Know-it-all. He was a distant member of the Japanese royal family, but even a distant member had a very high status.
Murakami drank his tea and touched the jade military knife he carried with him. His aura was restrained, and he did not look like a soldier but more like a scholar. Kameda looked at his classmate helplessly.
"Murakami-kun, I'll have to trouble you with this.”
Kneeling on the ground, Kameda bowed deeply to Murakami. Murakami remained expressionless because he was deep in thought.
"Kameta-kun, I want to know the truth.”
Although Murakami had gotten to his position mostly because of his identity, it didn't mean that he was so easily deceived.
"Hey, it's like this…"
Kameda recounted how Old Li had attacked the tower and how Sakata's relatives had died. Of course, Kameda was afraid that Murakami would laugh at him, so he deliberately exaggerated the number of enemies.
"Kameta-kun, could it be that the Imperial Army of Great Japan is having a hard time winning in a two-on-one situation?”
Kameda told Murakami that there were more than 100 people in the independent group, but Murakami shook his head and looked at Kameda with disdain.
"Hey, Murakami-kun is right. "However, you should also know that our expansion in China is really too fast. We didn't have enough soldiers, so we recruited a large number of soldiers from the Imperial Association.”
Kameda directly attributed the reason for his defeat to his teammate's incompetence. Murakami's expression finally improved after hearing Kameda's words.
"Alright, since we're classmates, I'll help you this time.”
Murakami actually had his own considerations. His goal was naturally to win over the military. Previously, when he was in Xigou Village, because it was close to An County, there were very few other troops that entered this place.
This made it difficult for them to truly obtain military merits, and it was precisely because of this that Murakami had been in the position of senior captain for a year. If he had military merits and relied on his identity, he should have sat in the position of major long ago.
Since he had been invited by Kameda to help out, he had also made it clear that all the credit would go to Murakami. This was also the reason why Murakami was willing to agree to his request. But more importantly, Kameda had clearly expressed his willingness to give Murakami ten thousand dollars for military expenses.
With such a preferential policy, Murakami would be lying if he didn't go. Murakami reprimanded him just now because he wanted to gain more benefits. Since the benefits were in his hands, Murakami immediately agreed.
On the same day, Murakami gathered 200 Japanese and puppet soldiers and went to Dongsitou Village with Kameda. After a night of rest, they set off early the next morning to target Old Li's Independent Regiment.
After careful consideration, Old Li also decided to destroy the Japanese stronghold in Dongsitou township. However, plans could never keep up with changes. Old Li did not expect that Kameda would go back to Lin township to borrow troops.
