Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 794 What’s the point of calling now?

The radio's telegram was jammed and the reconnaissance plane was shot down by the enemy.

All Anami Korechika could do now was to notify the troops on the front line by phone, asking them to switch from offense to defense immediately to deal with the attack of the independent regiment, and to ask each division to report immediately if they found out that the other independent regiment had been destroyed.

13th Division Headquarters.

An urgent telegram sent by the Tanaka Brigade took the division commander Dili Qiubin, who was having a meal, a while to react.

The enemy Air Force's 4th Air Group, 5th Air Group and two bomber squadrons suddenly launched an attack on Area No. 7 under their jurisdiction.

"How could they possibly launch an attack on Area 7? That's crazy."

He looked up blankly at his chief of staff.

That was where the Tanaka Brigade was located, and it was also the place where the military used it as bait to lure out the enemy squad. The deployment inside and on the front lines was the strongest.

Why would the other party launch an attack on this place? This is obviously not right.

"Call Tanaka Youyi and ask him what's going on."

Seeing that the chief of staff could not answer his question, he raised his hand and pointed at the adjutant next to him.

The adjutant immediately called the Tanaka Brigade.

But the person who answered the phone was not Tanaka Yuichi.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there's been an accident. Brigade Commander Uichi Tanaka and all the high-ranking officers in the brigade headquarters have been poisoned. Emergency treatment is underway."

All... all poisoned. How... how is this possible?

Could it be that the other party knew the plan in advance?

"Get out of the way." Diliqiubin put down his bowl, walked over to the adjutant, snatched the phone from him, and asked, "What on earth is going on over there? What on earth is going on?"

A high-ranking officer of a brigade was poisoned at the place where the bait was used to attract the enemy squad, which means that General Takahashi was probably poisoned as well.

At this moment, the highest-ranking officer left in the Tanaka Brigade Command was a lieutenant colonel. Because he went to the front line to issue orders that day, he did not participate in the banquet, so he escaped.

The reason why the Tanaka Brigade was poisoned was because of the poisonous food that Xiao's father got.

That was the food sent from the Xiao family granary, all of which were top-quality grain. After the grain was transported to the Tanaka Brigade, Tanaka Youyi thought that the restaurant outside might allow the other party to take advantage of it, and since the grain was indeed good, he kept a part of it for his own use and sent the rest to the front line.

This poison was bought by Xiao Ya's father on the black market. It was very strong. He thought it would be ineffective, so he bought more than ten pounds of rat poison and exchanged it for water to mix it in.

In addition, it was raining in Suzhou during the transportation, so it is understandable that it was a little wet when it was loaded onto the train.

This causes the poison to ferment during transportation, and even if you do it, the drug has already penetrated into your body.

In fact, before Gao Qiaoyi arrived at the county town, there were already signs of poisoning at the front line, but the generals attributed it to the weather and acclimatization.

By the time a large-scale poisoning reaction occurs, it is already too late.

Because this place is not far from Hengyang, it is a severely affected area for signal interception and no signal can be sent at all.

So time was delayed.

It’s over.

After hanging up the phone, Diliqiubin sat depressed in a chair. "General Takahashi has been poisoned, and the hospital has been bombed. Now the brigade headquarters has no suitable antidote.

Before he could make a new choice, another phone rang next to him.

The chief of staff went over to answer the phone in person.

After hanging up the phone, he continued, "The enemy ground forces launched a fierce attack. Our frontline troops, who know what they ate, were poisoned on a large scale. Now they have pushed forward, and the main attacking force is the independent regiment."

Independent group?

Diliqiubin looked at the adjutant in front of him in disbelief. "You must be joking! Isn't the Independent Regiment in Hengyang? How could they appear in Area 3?"

"It's true. They've already broken through the Tanaka Brigade's room and are advancing straight in. The independent regiment's follow-up troops are the Yamashiro Army's 7th Army, the Central Army's 71st Army, the 53rd Army, and a cavalry division. They've already encircled a regiment of the Tanaka Brigade."

Wait a moment?

Diliqiubin didn't wait for the adjutant to finish, interrupting him and asking, "All the members of the Tanaka Brigade were killed. Not only did they allow the enemy to advance straight through, but they even allowed them to surround an entire regiment."

In order to counter the military's bait plan and to allow General Takahashi to see the proper deployment of the 13th Division, he had already received the order.

He strictly ordered Tanaka Uichi to make good deployment of his troops, and to choose the best method whether it was attack or defense.

How come we were suddenly attacked and surrounded by the enemy?

Don’t the troops in front know that they should provide reinforcements to each other?

Ah...someone tell him what exactly happened.

Why are our troops so vulnerable?

The adjutant and the chief of staff next to him also didn't understand the problem.

That is the key defense direction. Why did this happen? Why did this happen in front?

Before the two of them understood, the phone rang again.

The adjutant could only go over and answer the phone before saying, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's General Anan calling."

Anami Korechika.

Diliqiubin needed to answer the call personally. He took the phone and said, "General."

"The enemy independent regiment has already left Hengyang. You must be extremely cautious. Immediately halt the offensive and switch to the defensive. Furthermore, if you discover any trace of the independent regiment, report immediately."

Hey……

Don’t you think it’s too late to tell you this now?

Diliqiubin was about to curse, but it was too late to say anything now, the other person had already called him.

Boom boom... boom boom boom...

The hilltop positions temporarily seized by the Japanese army were under fierce attack from the independent regiment's artillery fire.

At the front line, Fang Shengli observed the situation from the entrance of the bunker and then went to look at the map. "Tell the First Battalion and the Tank Company not to fight too long. We don't need them to encircle and destroy the remaining enemy forces."

Sano Tadayoshi glanced at the map. "Our mission is to advance as quickly as possible and, if possible, capture the county seat. This will be beneficial for our future defense."

Li Mi looked up at Sano Tadayoshi and frowned. "That's a brigade headquarters, guarded by a considerable force. We've already advanced over ten kilometers. If we continue to advance and our follow-up troops can't arrive, we'll likely be surrounded."

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle. "I think we should stabilize the situation first, at least until our roads are clear."
