Chapter 1075 Where Are We Going?
Tani Hisao returned to his seat and looked out the window. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "In their eyes, there is only revenge, but there is no time limit."
So whether it's a trap or not, it doesn't affect them much, unless your 3rd Division maintains a high level of vigilance from the beginning, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander is right. This incident happened not long ago, and they even used other methods to vent their anger."
Because of the division commander's arrival, the Independent Brigade launched a retaliatory attack, but it failed due to the division's defenses. However, this unsuccessful retaliation ended up on the heads of others.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Division Commander, is there another possibility that they want us to give them an explanation?"
How to explain this? How to explain this? Should we just execute Matsui? If so, then executing Matsui would be justifiable. But the problem is, this matter is no longer something that can be solved simply by killing Matsui.
"I don't know, I don't know what they're planning, but I think the best thing for us right now is to stay out of it."
It's not that I didn't let him go; it's just that someone else intercepted him along the way. So, the fault doesn't lie with me.
Just when Tani Hisao didn't know what to do next.
Prince Asaka got into the car with a sullen expression.
The butler had been following his master all along. The master came here today not only without getting a solution, but also by getting himself into a bad mood.
It was less a matter of anger and more a matter of trampling the last shred of loyalty in the master's heart into the abyss.
Nan Zaolin directly told the old man a very cruel truth.
No matter how much he considered the local people, he couldn't escape one fact. That fact was that the master was a traitor, a complete and utter traitor. Regardless of his reasons for colluding with the son-in-law, his betrayal was more serious and cruel than anyone else's, because he was a member of the royal family.
Since they are royalty, a single act of disloyalty is not a question of whether or not to use them, but rather a question of eliminating them.
"Master, although Mr. Nanzao's words were too direct, this servant believes he is right." Just stop making a fuss. As long as your son-in-law doesn't cause you trouble, that's fine. As for the others, how your son-in-law deals with them is none of your business.
As Mr. Nanzo said, you are already in dire straits yourself, yet you still want to take care of how others are doing. That's meddling way too much.
"From now on, let's live our lives properly." The fate of Kyoto was no longer of much concern to him.
Compared to the life and death of others, one's own life, death, and reputation are equally important.
"Is it important?" Takeshita Shun's nonchalant reply made Kobayashi Keiko, who was sitting on the bench in a daze, hum in agreement; "Husband, you don't seem to care about the movements of the Japanese army."
Not long ago, a scout brought news that the Japanese army had declared martial law, especially the 3rd Division, which had strengthened its defenses, doubled the number of patrols, and even formed hidden sentry posts between sentry posts, with at least two sentries in each post.
After receiving this news, everyone except Zhou Weiguo was discussing the issue. As for Zhou Weiguo, he went to the war zone command headquarters early this morning, but it was unclear what he was doing there.
“There’s nothing to worry about.” Takeshita Shun waved his hand, sat down next to Kobayashi Keiko, lit a cigarette, and said, “It doesn’t matter how his 3rd Division defends, because we never said we were going to retaliate now.”
Time is not an issue for the mountain city or the independent brigade. Whether it's waiting for one day or two, it's still waiting. Unless the 3rd Division remains on high alert, one day they will come here to take revenge.
"I get it. In other words, we're not going to do anything right now."
“Yes.” Takeshita Shun rested his chin on his hands; “Zhou Weiguo may not have many other merits, but he is absolutely first-rate in terms of patience. He will definitely not seek revenge at this critical juncture. Revenge might be sought in a few months.”
Several months later, the Japanese army had probably already forgotten about this incident. At that time, their peak season brought with it a frenzied retaliation and attack from the mountain city.
It's time to fight back.
When Zhou Weiguo arrived at the Fifth War Zone Command Headquarters, he received accurate information: after fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for so long, the Fifth War Zone had decided to launch a counterattack to completely thwart the Japanese army's attempt to advance south.
The senior generals involved in this operation had recently convened an emergency military meeting.
At the meeting, Commander Bai adjusted the overall military deployment and issued operational guidelines.
However, the independent brigade, which is a top-tier elite force, did not receive any combat missions.
"Sir, with such a large-scale event, why isn't our Independent Brigade here?" Zhou Weiguo pleaded with Commander Bai. "Sir, all the other units are getting a piece of meat, but our Independent Brigade isn't even getting a bone. If I go back like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the soldiers."
Although the Independent Brigade suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Chenzhuang, its strength has been replenished. Furthermore, due to the Independent Brigade's treatment, the soldiers' morale is now very high.
“You have a new mission.” At this point, Commander Bai added, “Or rather, you have a new mission, just like me.”
new task?
What?
Zhou Weiguo craned his neck, recalling the meeting; "The officer means that we need to enter Shanxi."
The fighting in Shanxi is currently very fierce. The Jin-Sui Army has displayed its bravery and skill for the first time, managing to recapture several counties. From this perspective, the Japanese army is suffering greatly there. If the Central Army could enter at this time, it wouldn't be impossible to retake Taiyuan.
“Shanxi.” The village chief, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea, glanced at Liu and then smiled. “Do you have some misunderstanding about Yan Laoxi? They are not like us.”
With a single order or telegram, he and his troops could leave Guangxi. Yan Xishan, though he participated in the war against Japan and commanded many battles, never left Shanxi, and neither did his troops.
It's fair to say that he's currently the only local unit that hasn't left the province to fight.
"Then...then where are we going?"
