Chapter 37: Hashimoto Ryuji Makes a Move (Please Follow)

Just a moment ago he was still full of himself, yet now his own Regiment had actually been driven out of their position by the Republic of China troops.

A battalion's worth of men, and less than two hundred returned to the position!

"Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, I told you so long ago."

"We cannot underestimate the Republic of China Army on the opposite side."

"Look... hasn't your Regiment suffered a loss?"

Hashimoto Ryuji, standing to the side, grinned.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujita also stepped forward to butter up Hashimoto Ryuji.

As a Local Army, the Sichuan Army simply could not enjoy any good resources.

After finishing, Xiang Wenbin ignored Ge Wei and shouted, "Yang Biao!"

Hashimoto Ryuji nodded and bowed, saying, "Hai!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Fujita!"

"Last night we stabbed the son of a Japanese Prince; today the Japanese will surely go mad."

He slapped his guard left and right.

"Fujita!"

"As long as there is still one person left on the position, you must fight the Japanese to the end for me!"

Fujita shouted, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please rest assured!"

Yang Biao paused, his eyes staring straight at Ge Wei!

He was implying something about him!

"Please give me another chance."

Hashimoto Ryuji sighed deeply, "I suspect the commander of this army."

After a pause, Hashimoto Ryuji's eyes flashed, "I really want to meet the commander of the Sichuan Army."

In order to invade Zhongtu, the Japanese naturally understood the local customs and conditions of Zhongtu very thoroughly.

"Your battalion is the main force, can you handle it well!"

"Fujii Sueyoshi... you have disappointed me too much."

"Therefore, the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the brigade's artillery will follow."

"Coming to Songhu to die, wouldn't it have been better to just enjoy life in Sichuan Province?"

"I know your purpose in coming to the Sichuan Army."

"Counter-attacking the Firepower Point..."

"Ge Wei!"

"Exert the greatest combat effectiveness and let the Sichuan Army feel that the Imperial Army's blade is invincible."

"In ten minutes, you will launch a full-scale attack on the Sichuan Army!"

"Yoshi!" Akiyama Yoshiyuki nodded with satisfaction, his gaze turning toward Fujii Sueyoshi.

Brigade Commander Akiyama Yoshiyuki looked at Fujii Sueyoshi with a cold, sharp gaze.

The command post of the Japanese Sixth Brigade.

Fujita grinned and said, "It is hard to believe, this Sichuan Army."

And inside the 1st Regiment's command post!

"They must have received formal military education!"

"When you were studying at the Imperial Japanese Army University, you were called an all-around talent."

"Hai!" Fujii Sueyoshi's guard lowered his head, allowing the Regiment Commander to beat him.

Ge Wei also saw the Sichuan Army soldiers repel the Japanese attack.

They had recaptured the position!

Seeing this scene, Ge Wei also lowered the gun in her hand.

Fujita and Hashimoto Ryuji saw Fujii Sueyoshi beating his soldiers there, but neither of them stepped forward to stop him.

"Hai!" Fujii Sueyoshi nodded and bowed, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I will personally lead the Regiment in the attack."

Hashimoto Ryuji stood at attention: "Hai!"

"I will definitely take the position opposite before twelve o'clock noon."

"For the Imperial Holy War, for His Majesty the Emperor, my unit will certainly use the strength of one battalion."

"Yoshi!"

The entire regiment of Sichuan Army soldiers launched a charge against the Japanese.

"Hai!" Fujita stepped forward from behind.

"This unit comes from Sichuan Province."

"Brigade Commander, please give your orders."

"It really is getting more and more interesting!"

"Unlike me, who was ignorant and lost a battalion of men."

"Present!" Yang Biao stood at attention.

"When your unit attacks, be sure to keep an eye on the opposing commander."

"I hope you will be the one to command!"

Yang Biao saluted: "Yes!"

"You fought this battle really poorly!"

Akiyama Yoshiyuki's gaze turned toward Hashimoto Ryuji!

"Colonel Hashimoto!"

"The Fujii Sueyoshi Regiment has been attacking for a long time without success!"

"This unit does not look like a local unit at all."

"Now I order!"

"Brigade Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely give the Sichuan Army a taste of our power."

"Baka!" Fujii Sueyoshi was so angry he was hopping mad.

"If I had other intentions, I wouldn't have bothered to run thousands of miles in straw sandals."

"The Regimental Commander is dead, the Battalion Commander is commanding the unit."

"A battalion's worth of troops was actually buried in the hands of the Sichuan Army just like that."

"My brigade must occupy the Dunwu Temple Position."

"Especially in the use of artillery, it is very outstanding; they almost received a telescope bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor."

"As a soldier, one should be killing the devils now, instead of just staring at the Sichuan Army."

Xiang Wenbin, who was to the side, said to Ge Wei: "Inspector Ge!"

"The Battalion Commander is dead, the Company Commander is commanding the unit, and so on!"

Fujita stepped forward: "Colonel!"

He pulled up Fujii Sueyoshi, who had fallen to the ground.

Hashimoto Ryuji put down the telescope in his hand; his eyes were flashing, looking just like light bulbs.

"You all must commit seppuku to apologize!"

Akiyama Yoshiyuki stepped forward, walked up to Hashimoto Ryuji, and patted his shoulder.

"If you don't take the enemy's Field Position by twelve o'clock."

Hashimoto Ryuji was aware of this point.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Fujita spoke of himself, for Fujii Sueyoshi, it was another matter.

"Anyway, the little devils won't be able to reach Sichuan Province for a while."

"I will say it again, my Sichuan Army soldiers will fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Yes!" Hashimoto Ryuji nodded.

"Your unit will assist the 35th Regiment in launching a feint attack on the Sichuan Army." Akiyama Yoshiyuki grinned, "Remember, you must make the Sichuan Army believe."

"The Brigade Commander will definitely readjust the deployment, and when that time comes, I will let your battalion lead the vanguard."

Seeing him fall flat on his face, this group of people hurried forward.

"The commander of this unit is not simple at all!"

"Notify the whole regiment!" Xiang Wenbin waved his hand, "Hold the position for me."

"Now that the country is in crisis, although you are a member of the Special Service Corps."

"You ran thousands of miles in straw sandals to arrive at the Songhu Battlefield."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

"However, the Special Service Corps are also people of Zhongtu, not to mention that you are also a soldier."

"According to intelligence sent by the Special Higher Police last night, the opposing army is the 20th Army."

"Hai!" Fujii Sueyoshi hung his head, "This subordinate is incompetent and has failed the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing Fujita answer this way, Akiyama Yoshiyuki nodded with satisfaction.

He drew the Command Sword from his waist and slashed down at a piece of wood in front of him.

"Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, your unit will serve as the main force for this attack."

"Regiment Commander..." Fujii Sueyoshi's guard.

"Today at twelve noon!"

"This time I will definitely lead the 35th Regiment to take the Sichuan Army position."

"This battle does not look like it was fought by mud-legged people at all."

Yang Biao let out a long breath of relief after seeing Ge Wei put down the gun.

Seeing Colonel Hashimoto Ryuji calling him, Fujita stood at attention, bowing and scraping.

This piece of wood was very fragile, and Fujii Sueyoshi used too much force.

"I hope... you always remember!"

Fujii Sueyoshi, covered in dust, got up and waved his hands.

Fujii Sueyoshi heard the sarcasm of the two, and his mouth was twisted with anger.

"Hashimoto-kun, I learned from the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters."

"Colonel Hashimoto, you are still the one who observes carefully."

"Today I will put my words here: my Sichuan Army traveled thousands of miles out of Sichuan just to fight the devils!"

He fell straight down.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki waved his hand, and Fujii Sueyoshi retreated obediently.

"This kind of tenacious fighting spirit is no weaker than the Imperial Army."

"Hai!" In the Sixth Brigade command post, the devil officers all bowed and scraped.
