Chapter 127: The Osaka Division Just Wants to Do Business
Taiyuan, inside the headquarters of the 12th Army.
Terauchi Juichi looked at Nagamiya who was standing in front of him with his head down.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said, "Nagamiya-kun, I really can't figure it out."
"Why did you escape before the battle?"
"Commander, I did not flee from the battlefield. I realized that the situation was not right and suggested to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka that we should retreat."
"But the commander did not listen to my advice, and I fought with other Imperial warriors."
"It was later that a huge explosion occurred in the entire Cangyun Ridge. I really couldn't do anything."
"We can only evacuate the battlefield with the remaining imperial warriors."
Regarding the fact that he had ordered the digging of a tunnel to escape from the battlefield.
Nagamiya and the 300 Japanese soldiers also reached an agreement.
No matter who asked, they said they fought until the last moment and retreated because they had no other choice.
no matter who.
Because of this, Nagamiyano was not convicted of desertion, but was only demoted for his poor performance in battle.
Terauchi Hisaichi glanced at him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
But then the gaze disappeared.
Then, Terauchi Hisahi nodded: "Nagamiya-kun, please don't mind."
"You and I are both soldiers, and it is our duty to serve the Emperor."
"I'm asking you this because of some rumors."
"Now the commander has dispatched the Aikawa Regiment and the Nakazumi Kazuya Regiment to attack Jinzhong."
"If possible, I hope your Osaka Division can attack Heli County."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to take down Heli County."
Terauchi Juichi's words made Nagamiyano stunned for a moment: "Commander-in-chief."
"I will certainly follow your orders, but I want to know why?"
"what why?"
"Commander, you know that Heli County is guarded by the Eighth Route Army's most mysterious 772nd Independent Regiment."
"I believe that the commander should have heard about the combat effectiveness of the 772nd Independent Regiment after the last battle."
"There are only 2.2 people in total. There is no way they can be a match for the 772nd Independent Regiment." Nagamiyano said.
Terauchi Juichi smiled slightly: "Nagamiya-kun, I also know all the issues you are considering."
"This time we are attacking Jinzhong, and the news has already reached the Eighth Route Army."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the 772nd Independent Regiment will definitely send out some armed forces for rescue and sniping."
"Therefore, our regiment will try to hold back half of the 772nd Independent Regiment's strength to buy time for your Osaka Division."
"Nagamiya-kun, this battle is a good opportunity for you to prove yourself and wash away your humiliation."
"Don't you want it?"
When Chang Gongye heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
But soon he stood at attention and saluted: "Ha Yi, please rest assured, Commander."
"The Osaka Division will definitely live up to the Commander's trust."
Return to the division headquarters where the Osaka Division is located.
Nagamiyano called his staff officer over and said, "Mr. Komatsunomiya, the commander just ordered us to attack Heli County."
"Cooperate with Nakazumi Kazuya's team and Aikawa's team to fight for Jinzhong."
"What do you think we should do?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Songgong's face suddenly turned very ugly.
"Captain of the Division, the new commanders are nothing more than a group of noble children from the country."
"How can they understand the sufferings of ordinary people like us?"
"Before launching the war against Dragon Country, they were living a life of luxury in their own country."
"Now, we have arrived at the battlefield of Dragon Country. Merchants like us who don't want to fight and just want to live a simple life have to work for them."
"Division Commander, you have experienced life and death escapes. Can ordinary people like us who come from business families defeat the mysterious 772nd Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"
"We have so many people in the Osaka Division, and we had no choice but to come to Dragon Country to participate in the war."
"It's been so long, who is willing to fight hard? Why fight hard? Making money is more important."
"You can't make money if you work so hard." Komatsumiya said nervously.
Hearing this, Nagamiyano lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right."
"But didn't they recently send those two idiots, Kurofuji and Nojiri, to conduct a sweep against the Eighth Route Army?"
"The two of them?" Komatsumiya said sarcastically, "These two are just two idiots from the Army University."
"We didn't even know we were being used as a gun. Now we have established contact with the underground liaison officers of the Eighth Route Army."
"The Eighth Route Army's intention is very clear. We are selling things and doing business."
"When we lose the battle..."
Before Komatsumiya could finish his words, Nagamiyano rolled his eyes at him.
Komatsunomiya quickly lowered his voice: "After the war is over, the Eighth Route Army said so."
"We surrender on the spot and hand over our weapons. We will be treated as prisoners of war in accordance with the Geneva Convention."
"But the Eighth Route Army also said that we cannot kill the people of Longguo, let alone deal with them."
"Let's do business. They have food, and we have guns and cannons."
"Every bit of money we can earn is a bit of money. When the war is over and we return home, those nobles who are high up in the world will still monopolize the resources of the upper class."
"For poor people like us, what else do we want if we don't take this opportunity to make some money?"
Seeing him say this, Nagiyano said awkwardly: "But now it is Terauchi Juichi's order."
"He knows nothing. He's just an aristocratic idiot who commands people from a high position." Komatsunomiya cursed.
"Division Commander, don't worry, we have people in our division who can talk to the Eighth Route Army in Heli County."
"Don't you just want us to die? No problem."
"When the time comes, communicate with the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, and when the battle starts, fire into the air."
"Finishing three magazines will be enough to repay His Majesty the Emperor."
"When the battle in Jinzhong is decided, we will retreat directly."
"If you ask me, I know we haven't fought before." Xiao Songmiya said cheerfully, "It's impossible that we can't be defeated, but they still want to punish us, right?"
"Who among those previous regiments had not suffered defeat? We can't dispose of all of them, right?"
Komatsunomiya's words finally made Nagamiyano breathe a sigh of relief.
He also figured it out recently.
I work so hard just to become a chief of staff.
It was not easy to get here.
Just because he felt sorry for the soldiers, he led a group of soldiers to retreat and saved them from death.
He was demoted.
The other idiots in the empire who had lost the battle were not only reinstated, just because they were nobles.
Some even got promoted.
Can this be tolerated?
Because of this, Nagamiyano himself began to desert his post.
"Okay, since you said so, let's do as you say."
"Send someone to contact the Eighth Route Army in Heli County immediately."
"Ha Yi, by the way, division commander." Xiao Songgong was about to leave when he turned back and said, "The Eighth Route Army in Wangzhuang sent someone to ask."
"They asked if our howitzers could be cheaper. They want four of them!"
