Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Chapter 250 War is a game of give and take

In war, there is always a loser who wins or loses.

Unlike the winners who celebrate, the losers will plan their next move in anger.

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

It was already late at night, but the lights in Yoshio Shinozuka's office were still on.

After withdrawing from Xiaowangzhuang, Miyazaki No hid in Ping'an County for a whole month, fearing that Commander Yoshio Shinozuka would call him back for questioning.

As the saying goes, what is coming will come, and you can’t avoid it.

After receiving a telegram from Taiyuan, Miyazaki Noma rushed to the Taiyuan headquarters without stopping. It was already late at night when he arrived.

Miyazaki originally thought that Commander Yoshio Shinozuka called him back to question him, but he didn't expect that the facts were not what he thought.

Shinozuka Yoshio leaned back in his chair and asked with a tired look, "I told you to remember everything, did you remember it clearly?"

"I've made it clear!"

Miyazaki felt a sense of joy at having survived a disaster, but he couldn't help but ask, "Then what about Kawashita-kun..."

"idiot!"

Shinozuka Yoshio angrily said, "If it weren't for you, Kawashita-kun wouldn't have to bear this infamy!"

A living person is always more valuable than a dead person.

After the defeat in the battle of Xiaowangzhuang, Yoshio Shinozuka has decided to put all the blame on Kawashita Hide. After all, the dead cannot speak.

As for his family, his father died in the war long ago, his mother had been dead for who knows how many years, and his wife and sister were comfort women in the Pacific battlefield. There was no need to give any explanation.

But Miyazaki was still alive, and it was impossible for Yoshio Shinozuka to send such a senior officer to the military court.

From this we can see that as the war continues to this point, Yoshio Shinozuka is almost at the point where he has no one left under his command.

In fact, the situation of the Japanese devils is similar not only in northwest Shanxi, but throughout the entire Chinese battlefield. Victory is only a matter of time.

In fact, he was forced to put the blame on Kawashita Hide. The defeat in the Xiaowangzhuang battle did not have much impact on him. What really gave him a headache was that it affected the entire mopping-up plan.

Shanxi Province planned to conduct a thorough sweep, hoping to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and Shinozuka Yoshio took this opportunity to propose a battle plan.

But in the end, it went wrong, so someone had to take the blame.

Miyazaki Noto felt dizzy that night and felt like he had walked through the gates of hell.

He walked out of Yoshio Shinozuka's office at daybreak. The cold wind made him feel a chill on his back. He touched it with his hand and found that he was covered in cold sweat.

…………

The independent battalion was carrying out the task assigned by the boss, advancing with a steady style of play, and cooperating with Zhang Zizai to fan the flames in the county, causing panic among the Japanese in the county.

If another team had caused such a commotion, it would not have caused the Japanese to panic and worry that the Eighth Route Army would really attack.

But the independent battalion was in action, so the Japanese had to believe it whether they wanted to or not.

In the past two days, the Japanese in the county have been strengthening their defenses. News came from Anhua County that the Japanese are ready to provide support at any time and attempt to attack from both sides.

Lin Qiang was sorting out this unimportant information when the monk suddenly came running over to the door and said, "Battalion Commander, Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment has arrived and has already arrived at the base."

"Ok?"

Lin Qiang frowned. Chu Yunfei didn't seem like such a reckless person. He actually broke into the base without saying a word.

"Let's go meet him."

To be honest, Lin Qiang admires Chu Yunfei very much. If he didn't know Chu Yunfei well, Lin Qiang would definitely try to win him over.

It is precisely because of this understanding that I both admire and guard against Chu Yunfei.

Lin Qiang believed that this sudden visit was most likely due to the county town issue. He guessed that the two sides wanted to cooperate and liberate the county town, and Chu Yunfei also wanted to get a taste of the sweetness.

During the month of rest, Zhang Yuntian thought that since the team was so large and was directly under the brigade headquarters, it would be impossible to do without a reception room.

So we built a reception room next to the kitchen.

The house is not big, but it is fully equipped and decorated with some calligraphy and paintings and antiques brought back from the county. When Lin Qiang entered for the first time, he suspected that he had traveled through time.

Zhang Yuntian invited everyone to the reception room. When Lin Qiang arrived, Chu Yunfei was carefully admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Lin Qiang asked the monk and others to wait outside the house, and he went into the reception room alone: "Captain Chu, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

Chu Yunfei likes to do this, so Lin Qiang follows his wishes out of respect.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei turned around and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Lin, I apologize for any offense caused by my rash visit this time. I hope you will forgive me!"

You know it's offensive, but you still do it?

Lin Qiang muttered inwardly, but his smile remained unchanged: "Captain Chu, that's not true. You're doing me a favor by coming here."

"Don't stand and talk, Captain Chu, please sit down."

After saying that, Lin Qiang shouted to the outside: "Monk, ask Zhao Dezhu to make a pot of good tea!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei quickly waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Brother Lin."

"Hey, Captain Chu, you've finally come here, how can I have the nerve to let you drink plain water?"

After sitting down, Lin Qiang asked, "I wonder what brings you here, Captain Chu?"

It can be seen that this time Chu Yunfei's face was a little more unhappy than last time. Lin Qiang didn't know why, but it was obvious.

Logically speaking, Chu Yunfei is such a smart person that he shouldn't show his feelings, or perhaps he did it on purpose.

The reason is unknown, but Lin Qiang doesn't intend to say anything more.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yunfei suddenly took out two pistols from his pocket and slammed them on the table.

"Captain Chu, what is this?"

Lin Qiang didn't believe that Chu Yunfei would do anything to him. He knew that there would be a day when both sides would come to blows, but it would definitely not be today.

Besides, Chu Yunfei is an extremely conceited person and would never allow himself to die like this.

"Brother Lin, as a soldier, I admire you. In this time of national crisis, it is a blessing for the country to have talents like you!"

Chu Yunfei pointed at the two pistols on the table and said, "This gun is produced by the Belgian FN company, caliber 6.3, capacity 6 rounds, one male and one female, Browning brand."

"I, Chun Chu Yunfei, admire Brother Lin, so I want to give this female to you. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. I hope Brother Lin will not refuse."

Browning.

Familiar, I am very familiar with it.

Lin Qiang stared at it intently. Ever since he became the battalion commander, he couldn't let go of good guns.

He had tried almost all the guns available in the system mall, except for this Browning pistol and a few other guns.

I was just wondering when I could get one from Chu Yunfei, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to me.

However, Lin Qiang did not accept it directly. Instead, he imitated Li Yunlong and said, "Captain Chu, if you want to give it to me, I will naturally accept it. But since you want to give it to me, why don't you give me this male one?"

"What do you mean, Brother Lin? Why not tell me clearly?"

Lin Qiang laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Captain Chu. I think it's a real man to carry a gun into battle to kill the devils. If this gets out, I'm afraid the devils will laugh at me."

As expected, just as he remembered, Chu Yunfei was not unhappy at all. Instead, he admired Lin Qiang's straightforwardness: "Haha, I have been singing and dancing since I was a child, and I am arrogant and domineering for whom. I am really a real man."

"Okay, then I'll give you this male one!"

Lin Qiang glanced at Chu Yunfei, then took it with both hands, as if he was afraid that Chu Yunfei would regret it if he was a little late. "Captain Chu, I won't be polite then!"

"Brother Lin, I came here to ask why you won a great victory and captured an intact Japanese flag, but didn't receive any commendation from your superiors?"

Chu Yunfei said somewhat aggressively, "Even a little reward in terms of supplies, let alone a promotion, would be worthy of the heroic souls who died in Xiaowangzhuang."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but your commander's actions are truly chilling to the hearts of our soldiers!"
