Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 335: Preparing for a Battle with the Navy

If the independent regiment went to other places, I might really be worried.

However, after chasing the Hata Detachment for nearly 15 kilometers, the Independent Regiment not only did not stay in place to guard against another attack by the Japanese army, but instead returned to the Xiangshan position.

If there was no conspiracy, he wouldn't believe it.

"Fourth brother, you...you don't mean to say that Zhou Weiguo and his men are planning to plot against the other navy, do you?"

This guy is too bold. He can understand if he wants to plot against the army, after all, they are all infantrymen and it is easy to plot against each other, but plotting against the navy, this... how can he plot? Can he even rob their ships or something?

Thinking of the Independent Regiment led by Zhou Weiguo, who was blinded by profit and wanted to rob the enemy, he swallowed his saliva and said, "They won't want to rob the Japanese ships."

"Whether there is any plot or not, just ask Tian Jing what the others are doing, and you'll know." Deng Yaoxian's mouth corners slightly raised. In fact, he also wanted to know how Zhou Weiguo planned to plot against Hase Kiyoshi this time.

Du Xun was curious and really went to ask Tian Jing.

Tian Jing had no way of hiding this kind of thing, so she told him the situation in a secret message.

Looking at the reply message, Du Xun's head was buzzing.

Not long ago, he told his fourth brother that Zhou Weiguo and others were going to rob the enemy's ships, which was just a joke.

"Fourth brother, they instigated the Jiang Defense Artillery to dismantle the No. 2 artillery battery, and then placed it here." Du Xun raised his hand and pointed to a place.

Deng Yaoxian raised his eyes slightly and hummed, "How courageous! He is going to close the door and beat the dog."

"Fourth brother, according to our information, the Japanese Special High Technology Department has already sent agents to infiltrate the Madang Fortress to carry out sabotage. Although some of their personnel have been destroyed, there are probably more. They dismantled the artillery and transported it away in such a high-profile manner. I'm afraid this cannot be concealed from the Japanese army."

If the Japanese army knew this news, then their plan would be ruined.

"You don't think that Neiji Okamura will tell Hase Kiyoshi about our actions."

"Shut up." Okamura Neiji looked at the chief of staff in front of him with a gloomy face.

What did he hear? Yesterday, Hase Kiyoshi spent more than half an hour here with a sullen face washing himself. When he left, he arrogantly told his troops not to move and to watch their naval performance.

Today, I got the news that the river defense artillery of Ma'an Fortress had moved, which was obviously a plot against the navy. I didn't expect that my chief of staff was still kind-hearted and asked me to tell the news to Hase Kiyoshi without any grudges.

How stupid must he be to say something like that.

The conflict between the army and the navy is an irreconcilable conflict, a conflict like the revenge for the murder of one's father. Yet, as the chief of staff, he actually wants to expose the enemy.

"You are also a senior general in the army. You are also a member of the 11th Army. Have you forgotten how he tricked us yesterday?" Okamura Neiji cursed.

His character had already been broken down by the commotion of Hase Kiyoshi yesterday. Now he got angry when he mentioned Hase Kiyoshi, no, he got angry when he mentioned the navy.

The chief of staff naturally understood, but in this case, the navy would suffer a great loss. When would the Ma'anjiang defense fortress be able to be breached? Could it be that the navy and the army could not truly cooperate for once?

"What Okamura said makes sense, but the problem is that if we don't tell him, they will suffer heavy losses."

"That has nothing to do with me." Okamura Neiji snorted coldly and looked at the chief of staff in front of him; "I don't object to your opinion, and I won't stop you from telling them about this, but if the Minister of the Army knows about this, if you have the ability to think that your military career can continue, then you go."

The army has lost face. If the navy really succeeds, it will be a shame for the army. Not only will the army lose face, but the army will also lose face. When the higher-ups blame them, they will not be able to afford it.

The chief of staff was silent. He…he couldn't bear this. After all, the accounts of the more than 1,000 people who survived and escaped were not settled yet.

Now, Tokyo already knows about it.

Damn it, I don't know, it was that bastard who leaked this matter. It's really vicious.

"Do you think I'm vicious and capable of doing something like this?"

It was a good day in Tokyo today. Terauchi Juichi went out for a while and heard people on the streets talking about the deception of the Hata Detachment and the inhumane behavior of the 11th Army Headquarters.

However, this was not enough, so after returning, he asked his adjutant to tell him another piece of news: the Hata Detachment was really gone this time. There were more than 3,000 people, but only 700 returned.

If this news were to get out, the 11th Army would be really embarrassed.

"I didn't mean that." The adjutant bowed his head slightly. Of course, he admitted that he did have such thoughts. The general did this, which was directly declaring war on Okamura Yasuji. The other party also had connections, and sooner or later, he would find out.

"It doesn't matter if there is one. You should know that we all prosper together and we all suffer together. If you and I want to move up a level, it is impossible to read newspapers in Tokyo every day. So we need to return to the front line. Do you understand this?"

It's not that I'm cruel and ruthless, but now, if there is still a place where I can go to the battlefield again, it can only be the 11th Army. I can't go to the northern front.

Going there is just a form of defense, which is not conducive to redeeming the sins that one has committed.

"General, you are right. But the problem is that the navy has already taken over. Can the Madang River Defense Fortress withstand the navy's attack?"

Terauchi Shouichi chuckled and said, "It took several years to build the fortifications and river defense batteries. They are real and not shoddy."

Snapped……

Zhou Weiguo kicked the sandbag, and the sandbag fell down irresponsibly.

"This... can this withstand the bombardment of the Japanese naval guns?" Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at the engineer platoon leader beside him. No matter what, it can't be so perfunctory. This tofu dregs will be destroyed by a single shot from the enemy.

"Captain, you can't blame me for this. The only shelter I could find for the coastal artillery was to dig a tunnel and then build a layer of sandbags on top."

The engineer platoon leader pointed at the sandbags with grievance. A few days ago, the first battalion and the engineer company had worked at night to dig a large pit at the location of the artillery so that the artillery could be filled in. However, they were worried about the problem of shrapnel ejection, so they added another layer of sandbags on the outside. As for the top, he did not do it, because if he did, it would be destroyed by the enemy's naval guns.

Zhou Weiguo, who was holding a cigarette, couldn't point at anything in the end. With just this condition, it was already good enough for the engineers and the first battalion to do this. However, once a battle breaks out in such a position, the losses will probably rise sharply. Zhou Weiguo frowned and looked at Zhao Xiang Xiuling who was following him; "Do you have any ideas?"
