Under the cover of the captured soldiers, the Takeuchi regiment advanced smoothly towards the Sihang warehouse. The distance between the two sides was less than a kilometer.
Muto Kazuo, who had already fallen into a state of madness, continued to urge the assault team to move forward. Behind him, the Japanese artillery had already set up a temporary position. The remaining six 75mm field cannons of the regiment were aimed at the warehouse. The artillery was adjusting the firing elements.
"Order, the artillery will fire at the four-row warehouse. After three volleys, six cannons will fire at will.”
Muto Kazuo was in the temporary command post, and he issued orders one after another."Command, the tanks move at full speed and fire at the warehouse defenders. Infantry, use the tanks as cover. After firing, immediately charge at the four rows of warehouses.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Reporting, Your Excellency, look!”
Suddenly, a major staff officer rushed into the command center and said breathlessly,""Cina, Cina's position. Takeuchi, Takeuchi Regimental Commander is at Cina's position.”
"Nani?"
Muto Kazuo jumped up from his chair and grabbed the collar of the major. He said with a ferocious expression,""What did you say?"
The major panted heavily and said," Your Excellency, Nakasuke Yoshida appeared at the Chinese camp with Commander Takeuchi's head in his arms.”
"Baka!"
Sure enough, the main door of the Sihang warehouse slowly opened. Shoichi Nakasaka Yoshida, who had long been tortured beyond recognition, was nailed to a cross by the Shina people. Takeuchi Renzo's head hung on his chest. A squad of Shina guards carried the cross out of the warehouse.
The commander of the Japanese's frontline attack force also noticed the heads of Yoshida Shoichi and Takeuchi Renzo, who were nailed to the cross. He immediately ordered the front row of the Chinese soldiers who were acting as human shields to stop. The confused Japanese looked at the Japanese behind them in confusion.
This unit was personally established by Takeuchi Renzo himself. From the soldiers to the officers, they all worshipped Takeuchi Renzo fanatically and regarded him as their soul. From the name of this unit, it was not difficult to see that this was a family soldier of the Takeuchi family.
Therefore, when Takeuchi Renzo's head appeared, all the charging Japanese soldiers stopped in their tracks. They looked at their once supreme worshippers in despair and became prisoners of the Chinese army. It was not a good feeling.
Muto Kazuo was the same. He immediately ordered,"The previous attack order has been canceled. The attacking troops will immediately stop moving forward and wait for orders.”
At this moment, the loudspeaker in the warehouse sounded, and the shouts of the warehouse guards could be heard.
"Commander Muto of the Takeuchi Regiment, listen up. Guo Zixu, Major General of the Independent Brigade of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, has learned that you are a warrior who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy and a righteous soldier of the Empire. Mr. Muto Kazuo's heroic action of voluntarily returning our captured soldiers before the battle is admirable.”
"As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Therefore, our General Guo has also prepared a big gift for Mr. Muto. He will return the heads of the captured Lieutenant General Yoshida Masayoshi and the commander of your regiment, Takeneijo.”
"In addition, General Guo knows that you are from a bushido family and are proficient in Kendo. However, General Guo believes that your country's Kendo is just the surface of China's Kendo. It is a martial art that your master's wife taught you. If you cherish the honor of being a samurai, why don't you come out and have a duel with General Guo? General Guo guarantees with his character that if you can defeat General Guo, he will personally lead the entire Independent Brigade to surrender to your troops. What do you think, Mr. Muto Ichiro?"
On the other side, an independent brigade translator who was proficient in Japanese was sitting at the radio station, laughing and shouting.
On the other side, Guo Zixu gave the order to Shangguan Biaoji, Shen Dalang, Li Fugui, and the other middle-level officers of the Independent Brigade."Shen Dalang, I will now hand over the entire brigade's 60 mortar rocket launchers to you. Each cannon is equipped with 20 rounds. I want you to smash all the rounds into the Japanese's position within 10 minutes.”
When Shen Dalang heard that, he was instantly amused." Traveler, 1200 cannonballs. This is enough to make Muto Kazuo, that old bastard, suffer. With armor-piercing bullets and white phosphorous incendiary bombs, I guarantee that the f * cking Takeuchi United won't even have a place to hide."”
Guo Zixu continued to give orders."Shangguan Biaoji, your 1st Regiment will be the first echelon of the charge. Have all the soldiers hang their Type 56 semi-automatic rifles on their chests. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets. Don't fire all of them at once. Use them as submachine guns. Once the bombardment here ends, bring your men and charge forward immediately. Fire 1200 semi-automatic rifles at the same time. The firepower must not be interrupted.”
The officers obeyed the order and left, preparing for the upcoming battle. Guo Zixu picked up a Ghost Head Blade that was polished to the point of glinting, walked out of the command room, and headed to the front line.
At the Takeuchi United camp, Muto Kazuo did not choose to respond to the provocative shouts of the warehouse guards. He could disobey the military orders of the dispatch command, but he could not turn a deaf ear to Takeuchi Renzo's head. He had to get it back no matter what.
After all, the commander of the Takeuchi regiment had treated him well and even promoted him to become a lieutenant of the Takeuchi regiment.
Finally, Muto Kazuo made up his mind. The Japanese translator also took out a high-pitched microphone and replied to the warehouse guards,"
"General Guo of the Independent Brigade of the 88th City Division of the National Revolutionary Army, I am Muto Kazuo. I deeply admire the bravery of your army in battle and your open and aboveboard military style. I also deeply agree with General Guo's proposal to return the head of Commander Takeuchi's regimental commander. We are willing to release the captured soldiers of your army, but we still need to have the necessary handover ceremony.”
"In addition, I am deeply honored by the Kendo challenge proposed by Your Excellency, General. I also cherish the honor of being a warrior of the Empire and am willing to spar with Your Excellency, General. It will be held at the same time as the exchange of prisoners of war. What do you think, General?”
The Japanese translator was shouting while Muto Kazuo was rearranging the combat mission.
"Command, the frontline attack force will continue to use the Chinese captives as the front row meat shields to advance towards the warehouse. The artillery unit will use the yellow signal flare as the attack signal to fire at the warehouse. The tank squadron will advance at full speed. We must seize the heads of Assistant Yoshida Masayoshi and Commander Takeuchi!”
"Gentlemen, for the honor of the Takeuchi United Team, for the rise of the Imperium, it is time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Please!”
