Chapter 19: The 6th Infantry Brigade (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The 6th Infantry Brigade under the command of the Imperial Army's 9th Division.

After Brigade Commander Akiyama Yoshiyuki returned to the position opposite Dunwu Temple.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki urgently convened a brigade meeting.

Watching everyone enter the command post one after another.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki spoke: "Today, which unit was the one attacking Dunwu Temple?"

The Regiment Commander of the 7th Regiment, which was under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Brigade, Isa Kazuo, immediately stood up.

"Brigade Commander, the unit attacking Dunwu Temple today!"

"At first, I believed that two companies would be completely capable of taking the Dunwu Temple Position."

"However, the Third Company had just entered the city when they encountered an engagement with the National Revolutionary Army."

After putting these weapons into storage, Xiang Wenbin looked at Yu Hua with a certain gaze.

The tone of Hashimoto Ryuji became increasingly intense as he spoke.

"Not bad, you have the loyalty of the Paoge Society."

Fujita saw Hashimoto Ryuji roaring at him, and he lowered his head.

To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the Republic of China Army is indeed very powerful.

"It is that the Hand Grenade explosion cannot produce enough lethality to condense into fragments and form individual pieces of shrapnel."

"You kid, your reputation now is even louder than mine, a Regimental Commander."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the elite Republic of China troops that Lieutenant Colonel Fujita spoke of."

"Since your battalion was ambushed by the elite Republic of China Army, this Brigade Commander will not pursue your dereliction of duty."

After Hashimoto Ryuji saw that everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Yu Hua actually never joined the Paoge Society at all; he only used the Paoge Society to politely decline Xue Yue's invitation.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki nodded: "Yoshi!"

"My battalion encountered a strike from the elite National Revolutionary Army!"

The logistics troops dispatched by Xue Yue delivered weapons and ammunition to Xiang Wenbin's regiment.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"So I did not continue to dispatch troops into the city."

Since the Fujita Battalion encountered a strike from the elite National Revolutionary Army, this led to the position failing to be defended.

That was truly like looking at the God of Wealth.

This action successfully attracted the attention of all the Imperial Army officers present.

"It's nothing!" Xiang Wenbin waved his hand; this was actually just a small matter.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki's gaze landed on Fujita.

He stepped forward quickly and placed the shrapnel he was holding in his hand onto the table.

"A dignified elite division of the Imperial Army actually lost to this unit."

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Hashimoto Ryuji, who had entered the command post at some unknown time.

"I immediately dispatched the Third Company to go and rescue them."

After Fujita saw that his life was saved, he immediately discussed the combat plan for tomorrow with Hashimoto Ryuji.

"Most of the soldiers in the hospital have injuries from hand-to-hand combat."

"To put it more bluntly, that is just a bunch of rabble!"

"Pig iron, this is specifically used for manufacturing ironware."

"You just said that the battalion you led was attacked by an elite Republic of China unit."

He now has to firmly tie Yu Hua to the Sichuan Army.

The only thing he could do was for Fujita to lower his head.

"Next, I have some things to say."

The unit that entered to take over the defense of Dunwu Temple is truly damn strange.

He tremblingly held the shrapnel from the table.

"Fujita-kun!"

The Imperial Army side was carrying out combat deployments.

"Everyone, please look!"

"My battalion suffered heavy casualties, which is what led to the Dunwu Temple Position being re-occupied by the enemy."

"According to the soldiers' reports, the Republic of China unit that took over the defense of Dunwu Temple."

After Fujita finished speaking, he stood at attention with a bow: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

"Today at the 19th Group Army command post, you greatly boosted the face of our Sichuan Army."

Seeing the Brigade Commander say this, Fujita let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Speaking of this, Isa Kazuo looked toward Fujita in the back.

Xiang Wenbin patted Yu Hua on the shoulder, "I really didn't misjudge you."

To elaborate further would only make the Brigade Commander think he was looking for excuses for his failure.

"The two companies that entered the city were surrounded and annihilated by heavy forces of the National Revolutionary Army."

"After we finish this battle and go down to rest, I will make the decision."

"They don't even have a few decent Machine Guns?"

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain; now he cannot refute it.

Seeing that Fujita had finished speaking, Akiyama Yoshiyuki stroked his chin and pondered.

"Hai!" Fujita stepped out, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, at your command!"

"Many units of the 19th Group Army also know about a Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader of the Sichuan Army."

"Fujita!"

Especially the Adjustment Division trained by Germany officers, which inflicted great casualties on the Imperial Army troops!

"They pursued the retreating National Revolutionary Army soldiers all the way into the Dunwusi City District."

"Yu Hua... you kid really have some tricks up your sleeve, damn it."

"The opposing National Revolutionary Army unit has a very tenacious will to fight, and their combat effectiveness is not bad either!"

Hashimoto Ryuji looked at Fujita with a half-smile, "I just went to the field hospital."

The Dunwusi City District!

"This morning, my brigade's artillery shelled the defenders."

"That is what led to the failure to take the Dunwu Temple Position."

Fighting a bloody battle against the Imperial Army in this tiny place.

"Is this what you call the elite troops of the Republic of China?"

Seeing himself being named, Fujita had no choice but to step forward, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

But!

"Rest well, and fight again tomorrow!"

The marksmanship of the rank-and-file soldiers is also very accurate.

To save others from having designs on Yu Hua.

"Fujita will lead the First Battalion to attack the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua grinned and said, "Then thank you, Regimental Commander!"

"You kid stubbornly refused it."

"Would Chang Kaishen equip his elite troops with such weaponry?"

"Fujita!"

He did not want to say anything more now.

"We will set up an incense table and formally induct you into the Paoge Organization."

"After the sound of gunfire rang out in the city district, I knew the situation was bad!"

Just as Akiyama Yoshiyuki finished speaking.

Hashimoto Ryuji looked at Akiyama Yoshiyuki, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, excuse me."

"This is simply a disgrace!"

On the Songhu Battlefield, Akiyama Yoshiyuki also knew that the Republic of China High Command had dispatched elite soldiers and capable generals.

"Moreover, the shrapnel in your hand."

"Fujita, you come and introduce the situation to the Brigade Commander."

"This can only prove one thing, and that is that the Hand Grenade was not made of steel, but of cast iron!"

This is also understandable!

Akiyama Yoshiyuki agreed and reassigned the Fujita Battalion to Hashimoto Ryuji.

Xiang Wenbin saw so much Weaponry and ammunition that he couldn't stop smiling.

Even Akiyama Yoshiyuki looked at Fujita with angry eyes.

"Then... please take a close look at this piece of shrapnel."

"At the Commander-in-Chief headquarters, the battlefield situation was analyzed, and even Commander Xue was envious."

At this moment, Fujita felt very unhappy inside.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki had originally intended to severely punish Fujita, but Hashimoto Ryuji, who was on the side, asked the Brigade Commander to spare Fujita's dog life.

Looking at Hashimoto Ryuji's piercing gaze, Fujita couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Although the Weaponry is poor, their tactical movements are no worse than those of the Imperial Army soldiers.

A burst of coughing suddenly sounded in the brigade's command post.

"Even Commander Xue wants to poach you."

"In essence, they are just a group of local troops."

Tomorrow's attack can allow the Fujita Battalion to redeem themselves through meritorious service!

Hashimoto Ryuji proposed that he would command tomorrow's battle.

"The Republic of China troops defending Dunwu Temple suffered heavy casualties under the Imperial Army's artillery fire!"

Xiang Wenbin is doing this for his own good, patching things up now.

"The First Company and the Second Company were the first to break into the Dunwu Temple Position."

After receiving approval, Hashimoto Ryuji's gaze turned to Fujita.

"Our Brigade Commander, Division Commander, and even the Army Commander have all sent word."

"Telling me to keep a close eye on you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua was somewhat surprised!

Did he become famous so quickly after "pointing out the country" at the 19th Group Army today?

Then wouldn't he be the hottest person right now!!
