At the Takeuchi United Headquarters 30 kilometers away from the Sihang warehouse, Muto Kazuo, who had temporarily taken over the position of commander, was leaning on the long table in the headquarters to study the military map.
At this time, most of the empire's troops on the battlefield had already moved towards Jinling City, the capital of China. Only the unorganized Takeuchi United and the guards responsible for guarding the base camp were left behind.
According to the battle plan formulated before the war, the Takeuchi United Army would take down the last position of the Chinese garrison in the Songhu battlefield within three hours. Then, the troops would set off for Jinling to participate in the siege of the Chinese capital.
"Reporting, Commander Muto, Yoshida Squadron, which launched a probing attack on Sihang Warehouse, has been completely annihilated. Starting from Yoshida Shosuke, all 210 warriors of the dynasty have been killed.”
The staff officer of the command center rushed into the command room. He did not bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead and immediately reported the situation to Takeuchi Renzo.
"Nani?"
Muto Kazuo was furious. He rushed over and grabbed the staff officer's collar, roaring,""What did you say? Say it again!"
"Your Excellency, Yoshida's squadron has all been shattered," the staff officer said in horror.”
"Baka Yalu, this is impossible!"
Muto Kazuo pushed the staff officer away. Yoshida Squadron was one of the most powerful infantry squadrons in the entire regiment. How could they be wiped out by the Chinese?
"All the Chinese soldiers on the Songhu battlefield were beaten by us and fled in panic like stray dogs. The intelligence department's intelligence showed that the Chinese army stationed in the Sihang warehouse was only a cannon fodder regiment. How could they wipe out the Yoshida squadron?”
"Your Excellency!"
A scar-faced Japanese general stood out and said,""There must be a mistake in the intelligence department's report. There must be some elite Chinese troops that haven't evacuated yet in Sihang Warehouse. Please give the order, sir. The 1,200 warriors of the Yamazaki Brigade are ready to take Sihang Warehouse in three hours.”
Muto Kazuo looked at Yamazaki Ichiro, who was eager to claim credit, and could not help but frown.
Both of them were classmates in the Imperial Army Academy. They had been competing secretly since they were in school. After graduation, they were assigned to the same unit, and even their promotion speed was the same.
This time, because of Takeuchi Renzo's accidental death, Muto Kazuo was lucky enough to temporarily take over the position of regimental commander, which made Yamazaki Ichiro extremely dissatisfied.
Now, Yamazaki was eager to take down the four-row storage unit. He wanted to show off in front of the headquarters so that he could challenge him in the competition for the position of the regiment commander in the future.
Muto Kazuo made a decision after a brief moment of consideration. Compared to the military achievements of taking down the capital of China, the defense of the four rows of warehouses in front of him was not worth mentioning.
In this case, it would be better to go with the flow and do a favor. He would leave the guards of the Sihang warehouse to Yamazaki, while his elite troops would be left to participate in the mission of attacking the capital of China. The commanders of the base camp must have sharp eyes and could tell which was more important.
After a moment of silence, Muto Kazuo raised his head and said,"Yamazaki Kun, please take over the warehouse before dark. We must bid farewell to the body of Commander Takeuchi with the blood of the Chinese soldiers.”
Yamazaki Ichiro's scarred face revealed a ferocious expression as he said,""Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will personally chop off the head of the Chinese man to avenge the fallen warriors of the Empire and send off the heroic spirit of the regiment commander.”
After that, Yamazaki Ichiro walked out of the command center without looking back and began to mobilize his troops, preparing to launch a fatal attack on the Sihang warehouse.
The Yamazaki Battalion had four infantry squadrons, equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers. One machine gun squadron was equipped with eight Type 92 heavy machine guns, and one artillery squad was equipped with two 70mm infantry cannons. Their firepower was much stronger than the national army.
Soon, the entire Yamazaki Brigade charged towards the warehouse.
In the command center, Muto Kazuo was curious about the identity of the warehouse guards who could wipe out an entire squadron of Empire warriors. He led his personal guards and followed behind the Yamazaki Battalion from a distance, preparing to personally watch the battle.
In the four-row warehouse, Guo Zixu had completely conquered the warehouse guards with his impressive battle records and charisma. The spirit of the 500-plus soldiers had been completely renewed. Everyone's heart was full of enthusiasm. They wanted to rush out and drink the blood of the Japanese, eat the flesh of the Japanese, and chew the bones of the Japanese.
The command of the frontline troops was still under the responsibility of Shangguan Biaoji. At this time, Guo Zixu and Xie Jinyuan were heading to the secret passage of the warehouse to retrieve the weapons and equipment he had exchanged from the system.
This wall looked no different from a steel wall, but it was actually a large iron gate at the core of the warehouse. After Guo Zixu used the password to open the iron gate, the guns and shells neatly stacked inside immediately stunned everyone.
"Oh my god, there are so many good things. Armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, high-explosive bullets, hahaha, I'm rich.”
Shen Dalang was the first to react. He rushed towards the neatly arranged mortar shells like a ferocious dog. He carefully picked up a shell and kissed it again and again. His posture was even more forceful than his own wife.
"Battalion Commander, I love you so much. With these cannonballs, I can take down an entire Japanese regiment.”
Xie Jin Yuan was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He had been stationed in the warehouse for more than half a month, but he did not find such a small arsenal hidden in the warehouse.
With this batch of advanced weapons, the chances of the brothers walking out of the warehouse alive increased a little.
"Li Fugui, bring some men in and distribute these firearms to the brothers. Shen Dalang, the warehouse has used so many mortars and rocket launchers. Take ten rocket launchers and enough ammunition with you.”
