After Yoshio Shinozuka was woken up by his subordinates, he immediately called for an emergency military meeting.
Things had completely exceeded his expectations and were even slowly getting out of his control. This was something he absolutely could not allow to happen.
Shanxi was the place where he ruled. All the Japanese generals came to China with the hope of opening up new territory and leaving their names in the history of Japan for future generations to admire.
But why was he so unlucky? He was supposed to be invincible in Shanxi, but a ten-year-old child suddenly appeared. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he could not even defend his territory now.
Shinozuka Yoshio did not dare to imagine that history would judge him as an incompetent general who lost to a ten-year-old child in the Chinese battlefield and eventually committed suicide out of shame.
Shinozuka Yoshio felt uneasy at the thought of this. He was a top student of the Army University and an outstanding general of the Empire. How could he lose to a young Chinese kid?
This must not happen. He wanted to kill Xia Tian himself before things got out of his control.
In the conference room, all the officers stood up immediately when they saw Shinozuka Yoshio.
Shinozuka Yoshio stood in front of them with a dark expression."Everyone should know the current situation. I won't say any more nonsense. I'll go straight to the plan.”
He looked at everyone coldly." I'm going to split my troops into two groups. The first group will support Little Tachinan and Kawashima. The second group will support Jinzhong. Who's willing to go?"”
"General." At this moment, a middle-aged Japanese man stood up. His military rank was Major General.
"Oh, Little Yuanjun?" Shinozuka Yoshio widened his eyes.”
Major General Xiaoyuan nodded." It's my duty to share your worries. My mixed armored brigade hasn't had anything to do for a long time." I heard that the county was turned into a fortress that summer. I was very interested and brought my armored troops to crush all of its defenses. He wanted to let him know that in front of the Japanese Imperial Army, all defenses were useless.”
Shinozuka Yoshio was overjoyed." That's great! With Ohara, no one can stop you." After entering China, your mixed armored brigade has made great achievements. The Jinsui Army was defeated by you and even Taiyuan was broken through by you. No matter how strong a few small counties are, they are definitely not your match.”
"Little Yuanjun, please." Shinozuka Yoshio said seriously.
At this moment, another middle-aged Japanese man stood up. He was also a major general.
"General Xiaozhong, I am willing to go to Jinzhong and recover all the lost land. Then, attack Wenshui from Qi County and assist General Xiaoyuan to annihilate the enemy.”
The corners of Shinozuka Yoshio's mouth curled up into a happy smile.""Miyamoto, that's great. Your 9th Brigade has always been my trump card. If a Chinese person goes against you, they're simply courting death. I promise you that if you win this time, I will definitely apply to the military headquarters to upgrade your exploration team to an A-grade unit.”
Major General Miyamoto's eyes lit up. His exploration team had always belonged to a B-type unit, and it had always been his dream to upgrade to an A-type unit.
As long as he became the commander of the A troops, even if he was still a brigade commander, his status would immediately be different. He would immediately become a first-line general in the country.
Major General Miyamoto straightened his back and shouted,""Thank you for your nurturing, General Xiao Zhong. Give me two days and I will make the Chinese pay the price in blood. I guarantee that they will regret offending your majesty.”
Shinozuka Yoshio nodded coldly." Then you two should hurry up and leave. If you need any supplies, just tell me." I only have one request. Kill Xia Tian as soon as possible."”
......
Outside Wenshui County, Little Linan and Kawashima, the two brothers in distress, wanted to cry but had no tears. They even wanted to die.
Originally, when they saw the defense of Wenshui County, they had the thought of retreating.
After the battle at Wen City, the terrifying defense had already left them with a psychological shadow.
Moreover, they discovered that the defense of Wenshui County was stronger than that of Wen City. The two of them were so frightened that they did not dare to give the order to attack.
But on second thought, if they just went back like this, how would they explain to Shinozuka Yoshio?
Shinozuka Yoshio sent them here because he trusted them and wanted them to help him regain his face.
But if they go back and tell Shinozuka Yoshio that we didn't take down their city and even lost a third of their forces, they'll be able to do it.
They could already imagine how terrifying Shinozuka Yoshio would look when he was angry. He would probably kill them both on the spot.
In the end, the two of them braced themselves and decided to stay and fight.
They saw that although Wenshui's defense was very terrifying, there seemed to be no one around.
They decided to test the waters. If it was easy to fight, they would continue fighting. If it was as difficult as Wen City, they would immediately turn around and leave.
And so, they fought
With this fight, they could not leave even if they wanted to.
First, they suffered heavy casualties in front of the terrifying defense of Wenshui County.
When they wanted to leave, they suddenly realized that they were surrounded.
There was a regiment from Wen City blocking their way, and there was also a regiment from Qi County approaching them.
Then, a group of troops quickly approached from the direction of the spirit stones and fired at them.
Little Tachibana and Kawashima were on the verge of tears. If they had known earlier, they would not have fought. They should have retreated back then. Now, they did not even have the chance to escape.
They also tried to break out of the encirclement, but the troops surrounding them were bombarded from all sides. The Japanese's escape plan was destroyed before it could be formed.
That night, the two regiments only had one-third of their original strength left.
The weather was still very cold that night. The Japanese soldiers had not eaten for more than a day. They were cold and hungry, and they were as miserable as refugees.
Little Tachibana wiped his snot and said to Kawashima,""Kawashima Kun, why don't we surrender?”
Kawashima's eyes immediately lit up."Great minds think alike. Actually, I've long wanted to surrender!”
