Chapter 43: Yu Hua's Plan (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

A company of Japanese soldiers was carefully inspecting the Sichuan Army's field position.

They did not dare to be careless in the slightest!

That massive explosion just now had given the Japanese soldiers quite a scare.

Yu Hua was on the small western-style house, making an estimate.

By the time the Japanese had thoroughly confirmed there was no danger, the sky had already darkened.

According to the Japanese Infantry Manual, the Japanese do not fight when night falls.

"Dayong, pass on my order."

"The officers at the company and battalion levels have suffered even heavier casualties."

Ever since retreating to the Dunwusi City District.

Although the Sichuan Army had entered the city, he still had to be cautious.

"Brothers!"

Ge Wei was by his side!

Seeing these wounded Sichuan Army soldiers, each and every one of them full of lofty aspirations.

At the very least, in Dunwusi, he had to take out another batch of veteran Japanese soldiers.

They gave their own eggs, flour cakes, and other food to the Sichuan Army soldiers, and young women and girls served tea and water to the Sichuan Army soldiers.

The 18th Brigade had captured the position at Qiaotingzhai, but the Sichuan Army had taken it back.

It is precisely these uncomplaining and regretless predecessors who created a beautiful era for future generations.

He made up his mind!

Tomorrow morning, flatten the Sichuan Army within the city.

Matsumoto Koji had just started moving and hadn't taken many steps when Fujii Sueyoshi spoke again.

However, the Sichuan Army's Field Position is now occupied;

Bonfires were lit inside, and everyone gathered together to warm themselves by the fire.

"Every unit is fighting a hard battle; we have already lost several Regimental Commanders alone."

Yang Hanyu stood out: "Company Commander!"

We must grasp the ideology of the army; we cannot let the Sichuan Army collapse.

"Matsumoto-kun!"

One should construct Field Works on the high ground outside the city to prevent the entire army from being besieged and unable to break out.

"Our Division Commander was personally overseeing the battle at Qiaotingzhai and was also wounded."

"Hai!" Matsumoto Koji nodded heavily.

"Dachang's unit is also fighting very bitterly; the pistol regiment directly under the Army Headquarters has already been sent to reinforce them."

Inside a sturdy brick house.

At present, the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army only has three hundred soldiers capable of fighting.

In the eyes of Fujii Sueyoshi.

Brigade Commander Akiyama Yoshiyuki saw that the Sichuan Army's Field Position had already been taken by the Imperial Army.

"Tomorrow morning, launch a full-scale attack for me."

"The terrain here at Dunwu Temple is relatively good, so there will be no Sichuan Army reinforcements coming for the time being."

The Fujii Suekichi Regiment had its security units spread out wide, with not only Sentry but also Hidden Sentry.

Every time they arrived in a province, as long as they said they were going to fight the Japanese, the local commoners along the way.

The Golden Bowl has finally started working, and it indicates that Yu Hua can exchange for Weaponry.

These three days should be enough to hold out until the Guangxi Army arrives.

"Yes... many commoners threw flour cakes at us and poured water for us to drink!"

Night falls!

Their eyes were filled with the light of fighting for the country!

She was also moved by the scene before her.

After returning to the regimental headquarters.

"Hai!" Fujii Sueyoshi's Adjutant, Matsumoto Koji, bowed and scraped, "I will go pass the order now."

A company of Japanese soldiers finally finished inspecting the entire Field Position of the Sichuan Army.

"Company Commander, I'll go right now."

"The whole company can have a good rest."

Sichuan Army!

"We are fighting a National War now, we understand that in our hearts."

The soldiers spoke one after another, and at this moment, everyone was determined to fight the Japanese well.

According to the Japanese Infantry Manual, in a battle for a city, one cannot place all troops inside the city.

The Sichuan Army voluntarily abandoning the Field Position outside the city is clearly seeking their own destruction.

"Before, our Sichuan Army was involved in warlord infighting within the province; that was letting down the country and the nation."

He doesn't even understand the most basic city defense battle, yet he expects him to be effective in tomorrow's great battle.

Fujii Sueyoshi had also heard some of Hashimoto Ryuji's remarks in the ear of Hashimoto Ryuji.

Sixth Brigade!

His brigade had finally synchronized with the 18th Brigade.

Yu Hua intends to verify whether the Golden Bowl can Swallow discarded firearms.

The remaining soldiers also followed up by saying, "Company Commander, don't you worry."

In order to increase the reserves for exchanging weapons.

This was the most unique local force she had ever encountered among the many armies she had dealt with in the past.

The Brigade Commander of the Sixth Brigade, Akiyama Yoshiyuki, was very dissatisfied with Fujii Sueyoshi's execution ability.

He also let out a sigh of relief.

It could also be considered as having completed the order issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army.

The doors and windows were all blocked up by the Sichuan Army soldiers.

He scolded Fujii Sueyoshi severely!

When Fujii Sueyoshi left the Brigade Headquarters, his face was black.

The main force could march toward the Field Position.

"Right, to prevent a sneak attack by the Republic of China troops, arrange a patrol team."

"Now we have to rely on ourselves!"

Sanwa looked at Yu Hua beside him, "Company Commander!"

As long as a batch of the devils' Old Soldiers are wiped out, annihilate the devils' effective strength as much as possible.

Since the Sichuan Army left Chuan, they had traveled thousands of miles, passing through many provinces.

"That is for the sake of our disaster-ridden nation; none of our several divisions have been cowardly or weak."

"We all understand what you are saying."

Three hundred men!

Utilizing the city blocks, Yu Hua could hold off a brigade of devils for three days.

The commander of this Sichuan Army unit before him was also a person of little ability.

Pausing for a moment, Yu Hua looked at everyone in the room.

Yu Hua decided that since he had arrived in this era, he would do his utmost to fight the devils.

Yu Hua had been keeping an eye on the Golden Bowl in his consciousness.

Then, the combat effectiveness of the devils' division would also continuously decline, dragging the devils down as soon as possible.

Even at the most dangerous moment, the current mindset was to kill the enemy and risk their lives for the country.

They felt that all of this was worth it!

Hashimoto Ryuji thought highly of the commander of this Sichuan Army unit.

"Company Commander, even if I die, I will die on the position."

Although the Sixth Brigade did not occupy the Sichuan Army's position before twelve o'clock noon.

To serve the country and the people, in order to repay the warm welcome from the people along the way.

Wei Dayong, who was to the side, said with a smile: "Alright!"

Speaking of this, Yu Hua stood up, and he stood in the center of everyone.

However, what Yu Hua did not expect was... the Sichuan Army really had tenacious willpower.

In Yu Hua's view, after the Sichuan Army experienced this great battle.

"But, it is not our Sichuan Army that is coming, but the Guangxi Army."

Inside the city!

"We traveled thousands of miles out of Chuan to arrive at the Songhu Battlefield."

"But, now that the Japanese invaders have invaded and the Sichuan Army has left Chuan, we have been welcomed by the people all along the way."

Over a journey of thousands of miles, the Sichuan Army marched day and night, wearing out several pairs of straw sandals, before arriving at the Songhu Battlefield.

"Such things never happened during the warlord infighting before."

Fujii Sueyoshi ordered the entire regiment to advance toward the Sichuan Army's Field Position.

To facilitate command, Fujii Sueyoshi ordered the Regiment Headquarters to move forward.

These scenes also made the Sichuan Army soldiers very moved.

Regarding sneak attacks, Fujii Sueyoshi still had lingering fears.

Last time the Sichuan Army launched a sneak attack, they blew up the son of the Fushimi-no-miya Prince.

Yu Hua organized the three hundred men into a Reinforced Company.

"It's just... just... before, our Sichuan Army was always making a laughingstock of ourselves in front of the people of the whole country."

Both sides were in a stalemate at Qiaotingzhai.

"Can we wait for reinforcements?"

"We sons of Bashu, our comrades-in-arms, will absolutely not smear the reputation of the Sichuan Army."

They would likely also feel fear and be somewhat inattentive to the upcoming battle; he was the highest commander at present.

After Yu Hua finished heart-to-heart talks with the Sichuan Army soldiers.

His mood also improved a lot.

Yu Hua patted Sanwa's head: "Yes!"

"Reinforcements will definitely come."

"Pass the order to the entire regiment to rest well tonight."

Only after the entire position was safe did the Company Commander send a message to the Regiment Commander, Fujii Sueyoshi.

He told the Sichuan Army soldiers to collect the abandoned firearms.

He intended to try.

If it could work, for the subsequent Urban Warfare, Yu Hua decided to cripple a regiment of the Sixth Brigade!
