Chapter 260: Qingfeng Village, which escaped death, decided to bleed heavily
Takeshita Shun turned his head and looked at Miyamoto Shigeru and said with a smile, "We can solve this problem by taking action, but you have to know that the Empire pays to support this army, not just to feed them."
Hutoushan has been badly damaged by his attack. If he attacks Qingfeng Village again, what is the point of the Guards Brigade here? They will just be eating for free.
Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly realized, but how should he refuse this question?
"Just tell him directly that if Qingfeng Village is gone, his brigade will probably have to move forward. He can decide on his own where to go. If we really need to take action, we will help him once. But I think he doesn't want his troops to be put into the meat grinder that is currently happening in Xuzhou.
The Sakatan Division, the Isogai Division, and the Seya Detachment are all elite troops on the northern front. They suffered heavy losses around Xuzhou and could not gain any benefits, not to mention the troops stationed in the rear. If they go up there and gain some benefits, it will be fine. If there is no benefit, he, as the brigade commander, will also have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
Now the situation in the Battle of Xuzhou is chaotic, and many troops have been defeated. The higher-ups just can't find anyone to take responsibility. The generals of the elite front-line troops all have some backers, and the higher-ups are a little hesitant to hold them accountable. But for the generals stationed in these places, although your military ranks are similar, if you are asked to take responsibility, you must do it.
Shigeru Miyamoto went to see Fumi Konoe according to Takeshita Shun's instructions. After listening to what Konoe Fumi said, he did not let Takeshita Shun attack Qingfeng Village.
After all, if the hidden dangers here are really gone, then there is no need for him to stay here, but he will go south. He is not foolish enough to go to the south to fight for the credit. If the credit is so easy to grab, the Sakatan Division would not have been surrounded by two regiments.
Although he did not allow Takeshita Shun to take action, Konoe Fumio still hosted a banquet for Takeshita Shun and his group at the brigade headquarters to thank him for his contribution to the empire this time.
Qingfeng Village doesn’t know yet, but because of Takeshita Shun, they have escaped death this time.
On the second day after the independent regiment was attacked, Qingfeng Village was already on high alert.
The independent regiment was seized in the middle of the night, and no one knew where the regiment headquarters had gone. Xu Fang did not dare to allow anyone to use the radio, and directly asked Li Wu to take people to Yang Village to find out the situation.
The news was just one: the regiment headquarters was burned down, the houses next to it were also burned down, and there were many more graves outside the village.
After receiving the report, Zhu Ziming and Xu Fang immediately mobilized all the people in the village. The original number of sentries and covert sentries was increased again, and they were replaced every hour or two. More people were also added to the cliff at the back mountain.
Early this morning, when he got up, he found that the bed was cold. He quickly put on his clothes and left the Juyi Hall. Then he heard the voice of his wife Xu Fang.
"Li Wu, don't be so stingy. Do you want to die? Just give me some small things. Bring me two more machine guns, and ten more rifles. You have so little stuff, are you going to send away beggars?"
"Hey, who are you? When the grenade goes off, you are all like stingy landlords. What's the point of me supporting you guys? Are you trying to piss me off to death? Ah, get out of here quick."
Zhu Ziming yawned and walked over to look at the other party's ammunition and machine guns and asked in confusion, "Wife, what are you doing? Why are you messing with the warehouse so early in the morning?"
"What to do? What can I do? Deliver supplies to Hutoushan." Xu Fang sat on the ammunition box and looked at her man with a painful face. To be honest, she also felt painful to send these things.
These were all saved bit by bit by Qingfeng Village. Now she has to give them to Hutou Mountain. She feels sad, but she can't not give them away.
"What are you doing? Why should we give it to them? We are living a hard life ourselves, how can you be so ungrateful? We are cooperating with them, not a family, you..."
"You know nothing." Xu Fang knocked on her man's bald head. "The regiment headquarters in Hutoushan was taken over by the Japanese. I guess there are a lot of losses. Let's not worry about how the Japanese took over for now. Do you think he is really finished? Do we still have a good life here?"
Xu Fang stood up and looked at the man who was holding his arm. "You only know how to play with women and drink all day long, and you don't even think about it. Hutoushan has suffered heavy losses now. Let's not talk about helping others, at least give them some ammunition to let them recover, so that when the Japanese attack us, they can help us. Otherwise, they can rely on us brothers. If the Japanese come all at once, where can we run? You won't really go looking for your brothers, will you?"
"No, we are a gang of bandits. Don't bring trouble to our brothers. They are the regular army, the elite. What are we going to do there?" Zhu Ziming shook his head like a rattle.
He had heard from Zhao Shoutian that the training there was very tough, they had to run every morning, then fight, train at night, and even eat raw meat. My god, if this was the case, I guess his brothers would just cause trouble there.
In fact, Zhu Ziming had a misunderstanding. The independent regiment did have training, but Zhao Shoutian's training was the training method of a small team. Xu Hu wanted to lead the small team, so when he was not there, Zhao Shoutian naturally had to be trained, otherwise who would protect the regiment leader?
These brothers of mine were forced to become bandits. They used to be a group of diggers.
If it means staying alive, who the hell would want to do this?
He doesn't manage things strictly, and everyone lives well here, and there's no discipline. But if he goes to the army, these people will probably cause trouble for his brothers, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his brothers.
"Yes, it's good that you know. When my brother left, he said that no matter what the grudges between us and Hutoushan were in the past, we must unite now, otherwise we will not be able to deal with the Japanese. Of course, if we really can't defend Qingfeng Village that day, we will have no choice but to join my brother."
"Okay, you have the final say." Zhu Ziming looked at the weapons and ammunition he had brought out with a painful look on his face; "You have to keep some for yourself. If you say so, the little people will come to attack us."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xu Fang waved her hand to indicate that she would handle it.
Seeing his wife say this, Zhu Ziming decided not to care. Just as he was about to go wash up, someone ran in from outside. "Boss, Liu Yuan from Hutou Mountain is here."
Liu Yuan is here? Zhu Ziming and Xu Fang looked at each other, and Xu Fang pointed at the bandit and said, "Take him to the Juyi Hall, and have someone bring Zhang Chu and Chen Yi to the Juyi Hall."
"I don't know how much they lost. There are so many graves." Zhu Ziming muttered nearby.
Xu Fang shook her head; "I don't know, but we can just go and ask and we'll know. Besides, we can't be blind in how much to give them, right? We should at least understand their situation first." What if we give them too much?
Zhu Ziming nodded repeatedly; "My wife is right, let's go and see what's going on first."
