Chapter 33
"The fishing platform!"
Zhang Wenbin placed his finger on the fishing platform. He looked at the map and continued,"The Japanese's headquarters is currently at the fishing island. It's actually so close to us. If we calculate the distance in a straight line, it's only about two kilometers.”
After saying that, he looked at his watch. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and it was almost evening. It was winter now, and the sky was about to turn dark.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Wenbin said to Cheng Yiyun,"Bring over the captured flag.”
After taking the tattered flag, Zhang Wenbin said to Cheng Yiyun,"Let's go to the North River Mouth. At the same time, send a message to the Japanese that we have seized the flag of the 35th Regiment of the 9th Regiment.
We need to leave Jinling now. Tell the Japanese to give up on searching for us and prepare a large number of ships for us to leave. After we leave, we will put the flag in Pukou. Otherwise, we will send a message to the whole country and burn one of their flags.”
Cheng Yiyun looked at Zhang Wenbin in shock after hearing that and said,"Captain, the Japanese are going crazy. Will they prepare a ship for us? This was something that would embarrass the Japanese.”
Zhang Wenbin rolled his eyes at him and said," Nonsense. Of course, the Japanese won't do as I say, but I will achieve my goal." Alright, stop nagging. Hurry up and go.”
.........
"Baaa He dared to threaten the Empire's army. I won't let him off!"
Prince Chao Xiang became angrier as he spoke. When had he ever been threatened like this?
In the end, he was so angry that he slashed the table.
"Your Highness, what should we do?”
The advisor asked Prince Chao Xiang.
"What should we do? Humph! Call them back and tell them that the dynasty's army will do as they're told, but tell them to keep their promise!”
Prince Chao Xiang sneered.
"What? Are you really going to do it?"
The advisor was a little hesitant. If he really did as he was told, it would be a huge embarrassment.
"Idiot! Right now, they are jumping around like monkeys in the city. We can't even catch them. Since they took the initiative to show themselves, we will take this opportunity to destroy them. He ordered the 9th, 6th, and 16th divisions to move closer to the North River Mouth. He told them to be careful and not to be discovered.
This time, they had to destroy them and snatch back the flag! Tell Yoshizumi Ryo that this is his chance to atone for his sins. If he can't grasp it, then don't come and see me.”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
..........................
The sky slowly darkened. The three divisions of the Japanese were gathering at the mouth of the North River. However, they did not know that Zhang Wenbin had brought the 4th Battalion and quietly approached the fishing island.
At the same time, the 2nd and 3rd battalions were also moving in this direction. Under the cover of the night, they were slowly closing in.
Wang Yiqiu's battalion split up and quietly approached the North River Mouth.
He led the troops to the fishing island area. In the distance, he climbed onto the roof of a house in the darkness and looked in the direction of Prince Chaoxiang's command center with his binoculars.
After looking for a while, Zhang Wenbin put down his binoculars. He was still some distance away from the headquarters. Coupled with the fact that it was night, he could not see anything after looking for a long time.
"Regiment Commander, the scouts are back. The Japanese's headquarters was heavily guarded. There was about a regiment of soldiers stationed there, and there were eight patrol teams around the headquarters. Each patrol team was responsible for patrolling in two directions.
They change every two hours. Every patrol team will meet the other four patrol teams. Basically, they meet every fifteen minutes."
Cheng Yiyun also lay beside Zhang Wenbin and told him about the situation that the scouts had found.
The Japanese's headquarters were heavily guarded. There was basically a regiment of soldiers protecting the headquarters.
There were eight patrol teams patrolling the area 24 hours a day. Each patrol team would change shifts every two hours. In other words, the patrol team would always be in the best condition.
Each patrol team would encounter four different patrol teams during their patrol.
The interval between each encounter was fifteen minutes. In two hours, he would encounter the four patrol teams twice.
"This Japanese is quite afraid of death! With eight patrol teams, the slightest movement would be discovered.”
Zhang Wenbin licked his lips. For example, if they wanted to enter from the back door, it would be an analogy.
A patrol team would pass by the back door every fifteen minutes. This patrol density was really unusual.
If you wanted to get close, it was basically impossible.
Unless you can pass through the outer area of the patrol team and enter the headquarters within fifteen minutes.
"Guild Leader, what should we do now? Do you still want to fight?"
Cheng Yiyun looked at Zhang Wenbin and asked.
"Why not? Do you know who the commander of the attack on Jinling is? It was a prince and a lieutenant general of the Japanese. If he killed him, hehe! Then we'll be famous."
Zhang Wenbin still had something he didn't say in his heart. If he killed the Japanese lieutenant general, then his military achievements would be real. He wouldn't be able to escape.
At that time, he would at least be a major general. He was already a major general and a division commander. With his military rank rising, the number of weapons in the system would definitely increase.
As a commander, if he were to find a place to fight the Japanese, he would have a territory. Would the system's experience points increase?
With the system upgraded and the weapon authorization unlocked, perhaps there would be equipment like cannons next time. Right now, the most painful thing for him was the problem of the artillery. Without artillery, he could not suppress the Japanese artillery. He did not dare to fight head-on with the Japanese in the wild.
Cheng Yiyun didn't say anything, and Zhang Wenbin started to think.
"Go and check if there are any other Japanese troops around. Also, if there was an attack on their headquarters, how long would it take for the other Japanese troops to arrive?”
Zhang Wenbin said after thinking for a moment. In the current situation, it was impossible to simply outsmart him.
Then, he could only fight them head-on. However, fighting them head-on did not mean that he was just being reckless. Even if he was going to be reckless, he had to be smart enough to fight the Japanese.
Time slowly passed. Cheng Yi Yun only climbed up at 10:30 pm.
"Guild Leader, we've scouted the surroundings. There was a group of Japanese soldiers stationed in the northwest. They seemed to be a regiment, but it seemed that they were not strong enough. They should have been crippled in the previous battle. As for the others, they had no more troops and had all gone to rob the civilians.
It would take about 20 minutes for the Northwest Regiment to send reinforcements over.”
Cheng Yiyun whispered into Zhang Wenbin's ear.
"Twenty minutes? It seems that our time is very tight. Now, let me explain the battle plan. The second battalion is going to…"
