Chapter 851 Are You Still Qualified to Refuse?
Anami Korechika also felt something was wrong and squeezed his hands and narrowed his eyes. "Immediately, have the Ono Regiment evacuate quickly."
It is absolutely impossible to attack. The Ono Regiment might be completely wiped out by the enemy. He has lost a lot of troops since the battle with the Ninth War Zone. If his troops are wiped out in an organized manner by the enemy, then his career as a commander will be over.
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
Countless artillery shells hit the attacking column of the Ono Regiment.
Ono, who was wearing military uniform, no longer cared about the colonel spirit he had to maintain, but looked to the left in embarrassment, and then to the right.
Not long ago, the attacking troops encountered fierce interception by the enemy. He ordered another battalion to be deployed, but before the troops launched the attack, the assembled forces were bombarded.
And this bombardment actually came from the rear.
He was completely confused. How could the army from the mountain city appear right behind him?
However, with the appearance of the enemy, his brain was about to explode. Behind him appeared the Shancheng Army carrying the flag of the Independent Brigade. Their appearance behind him meant that his nest was destroyed by them.
"Are they still human?" Looking at the infantry marching briskly across from him and the tanks advancing while firing artillery shells, Ono asked the question in his mind.
Didn't these people just attack the Hata Detachment last night? Why did they suddenly attack me again?
No one could answer his question.
"Report, Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, the military headquarters has sent an urgent message, asking us to evacuate immediately and return to our base. Be careful of enemy surprise attacks."
Ono pulled the telegram towards him. After reading its contents, he crumpled it into a ball and slammed it to the ground. "As they say in Yamashiro, this is called hindsight."
They have already come to me, and you want me to return to the base now. Do I still have a base?
"Sir, the commander is coming. What should we do now?" asked the chief of staff next to him.
Now is not the time to worry about the problems with the military telegram, but to think about what to do next.
Ono sighed and looked at the map. Now, his only way out was to send his troops into the mountains and forests, and then through the jungle back to his own territory. However, if he did so, his supplies would probably fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Have the left and right flanks hold their attack. The rest of the troops, lightly equipped, quickly retreat to the forest 300 meters to the right. Leave a part behind to provide support."
"What about the equipment we brought with us?" You don't plan to take it.
Ono waved his hand. "No, no, nothing at all. As long as our soldiers are still alive, there's still a chance to make a comeback."
As soon as the Japanese army started moving, Fang Shengli noticed the situation on the other side. He turned to Zhou Weiguo, who was also observing the situation beside him, and asked, "Should we mobilize troops to chase them?"
Chase?
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the direction they were evacuating and the lush green forest, then shook his head. "Let's not chase them. We're not good at jungle warfare."
"Our goal is to obtain supplies. Now that the supplies are in our hands, let them go if they want." Ono said with a smile on his face.
In less than a day, he obtained the supplies of a detachment and a regiment. The harvest was great. He could foresee that these supplies would be sold at a good price after being dragged back, especially the infantry artillery and some machine guns and tanks captured this time, which would definitely be in great demand.
Apart from anything else, the 7th Brigade of the Gui Army is the best target for trafficking.
"Let the troops advance slowly and let them evacuate. After their follow-up troops evacuate, push forward, but our troops should not enter the mountains and forests." Zhou Weiguo handed the telescope to Zhao Shoutian beside him.
In Shancheng, Robert, after getting off the plane, looked at the deserted airport and turned to Ruth, who had come with him, and said with a smile, "I have a feeling our negotiations this time won't go smoothly."
"The Imperial leadership's misjudgment has put us in a passive position. Ultimately, this is their fault. All we have to do is forward the documents and other documents to the mainland. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with us." Ruth's honesty made Robert nod. "You're right. None of this is our fault."
"Yes, and the higher-ups have noticed that this situation isn't going to be easy to resolve, so we'll just take it easy."
Ruth looked at the people coming from a distance. They were just a few mid-level military officers. It seemed that even if Shancheng allowed them to come this time, she had no objection.
There is no special embassy anymore, just an average-level hotel.
Returning to this place again, Ruth took the time to go out and send a message to Chaoxiang Xiuling to meet at the old place.
The people left, but the courtyard where Ruth once lived was still looked after. When she opened the door, she saw Asaka Hideki lying quietly on an armchair, with the collar badge of her rank of colonel particularly dazzling.
"You're here." Chao Xiang Xiuling opened her eyes, glanced at Ruth, and sat up. "I didn't expect your yard to be so peaceful. I guess you knew you would come back."
Ruth came and sat down beside her and picked up the teacup. It was the kind of tea she liked to drink.
She took a sip and smiled. "Knowing you had the plan, how could I not know we would come back?"
Chaoxiang Xiuling hummed; "You are right. Tell me, what is their bottom line this time?"
"There's no bottom line." Ruth shook her head. "Our mission is to restore our relationship with you. As for the price, it's not mentioned."
"It's clear that this move we made was the right one. Watsonton had never faced a direct threat from an external enemy, so they were so active. Now, after facing a direct military threat from Berlin, and even a threat from the Japanese army, they have become much more docile."
"Yes, this incident really caught the higher-ups off guard, so they made this decision. By the way, could you tell me what you need? At least I need to see if they'll agree."
Asaka Hiderei leaned back in her chair and pointed to the documents on the table next to her. "Look for yourself. This is what our mountain city needs."
Ruth took it and looked through it for a moment before shaking her head. "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Disaster?
Chaoxiang Xiuling snorted slightly. "Why, do Roosevelt and others have the right to refuse?"
