Chapter 191: Knowing Shame and Then Being Brave
Kenjiro Keiichiro Miura talked about his failure in four points:
One is that the troops are too dispersed.
The current independent column can no longer be estimated according to the ordinary Eighth Route Army or Chongqing troops.
In the past, a Japanese squadron of only a hundred people was enough to resist the attack of a battalion or even a regiment of Chinese troops.
Now, on the contrary, Kenjiro Kei Miura found that he had to concentrate an absolute superior force to defeat the independent column.
Therefore, the troops cannot be divided.
Second, there is a shortage of heavy artillery.
In the previous battles, the boarded charges were ended by the powerful firepower of the independent column, especially the heavy artillery, which killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with one shot.
Therefore, he specially borrowed an artillery regiment, not to annihilate the artillery of the independent column, but only to reduce the pressure on the infantry assault team.
Third, the air superiority was not fully utilized.
Although according to reliable intelligence, the independent column is currently equipped with aircraft, they are all models that have never been seen before, and from a short period of observation, the number is not enough to compete with the First and Second Flying Regiments.
After all, the myth of the Zero fighter's invincibility has not yet been broken.
In short, Kenjiro Keiichiro made full preparations, striving to "recover" Changzhi, completely annihilate the independent column, and avenge the previous shame.
Fourth, the independent column has strong permanent fortifications.
In the first battle to attack Shipo Township, the independent column hid in the solid permanent and semi-permanent fortifications and resisted the attack of field artillery.
This time, Kenjiro Keiichiro launched an attack on short notice, and intelligence showed that the destroyed fortifications around Changzhi City had not yet been repaired.
"Everyone, launch the attack in three days! Please!"
Kenjiro Keiichiro bowed deeply and handed over the task of avenging the humiliation to the Japanese officers in front of him.
To be on the safe side, the Japanese and puppet troops all retreated to the vicinity of Jincheng to prevent a surprise attack by the independent column.
In order to avoid infiltration, all checkpoints must be checked regardless of official rank, and different troops are not allowed to visit each other's camps to prevent independent columns from taking advantage of the opportunity.
That night, "Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ming", dressed in the uniform of the Japanese army, lurked far away outside the gate tower of Jincheng.
"Damn it, have the Japanese learned their lesson this time? Why are they checking everyone one by one, not even distinguishing between the elders and the young, and the superiors and the inferiors?"
Wang Ming went around Jincheng and the various Japanese camps for a long time, but he couldn't deliver the high-explosive bombs in his backpack!
"Captain, what should we do? We can't even get into a small city like Jincheng?"
"impossible!"
Wang Ming divided the special operations squadron into combat platoons, each responsible for monitoring the enemy's camp and city gates.
When it was getting gray, a small cart appeared at the gate of the Japanese camp.
Wang Ming and two other special forces members were pushing a cart of cabbages and staggering towards the Japanese camp.
"Baga! What kind of work is this!"
When the sentry at the entrance of the camp saw a stranger approaching, he immediately loaded two heavy machine guns and pointed them at the cart more than 20 meters away.
"Taijun, are you here to deliver the food?"
"Delivering food? You've never delivered food before, show me your ID!"
When Wang Ming heard this, he knew something was wrong and ran into the darkness.
The Japanese's two Type 92 heavy machine guns started to fire "da da da" and chased after Wang Ming and others.
Fortunately, they were all special forces and were agile, otherwise they would have been hit by heavy machine guns.
"Baga! If the commander hadn't ordered us not to pursue them, I would have killed all of these cunning Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
"Yoshi! You have done a great job, the commander will definitely reward you!"
"Hahaha, I feel like there's something wrong with this car! Let's check it out!"
Wang Ming and his two companions ran to the bushes in shame and watched the Japanese soldiers check each cabbage one by one and take out a bomb from under the car.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army!"
After the Japanese soldier finished speaking, he detonated the bomb and moved the cabbage into the camp.
There was a flash of light, which made Wang Ming's face pale.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"What should I do? Just keep watching here, I'm going to go get some sleep first!"
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he fell asleep.
Kenjiro Keisuke's short sleep was interrupted when information about attacks on several city gates and camps was placed on his desk.
He looked at some intelligence and could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
"Yoshi, these are just tricks of the Eighth Route Army! As long as our empire's soldiers are on high alert, they won't have a chance to take advantage of us!"
"General, what should we do with these captured supplies?"
Keisuke Miura pondered for a moment.
"Since these are spoils of war sent by the Eighth Route Army, let the warriors of the empire have a good meal! Just consider it as tribute from the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hayi!"
Around noon, the Japanese camp and Jincheng began to become noisy.
It turned out that many of the Japanese soldiers had symptoms such as body temperature that first rose and then fell, nausea, vomiting, and fainting.
The Japanese military doctor Sanmu initially thought it was just a simple stomach upset or food poisoning, so he treated it simply.
However, as the number of Japanese soldiers falling ill increased, the Japanese military doctors did not dare to be careless and began to investigate the food sources of these Japanese soldiers.
Finally, all the targets were focused on the supplies seized in the early morning.
Whether it was the military camp outside the city or the headquarters inside the city, basically all the Japanese soldiers who ate these foods were caught.
Seeing that the situation could no longer be concealed, military doctor Miki quickly reported the information to Kenjiro Keiichiro.
"General, our food has been contaminated. According to my analysis, all the seized supplies have been poisoned by the Eighth Route Army?"
Kenjiro Keisuke Miura's eyes went dark and he fell into his chair.
It took a long while before I recovered.
A "reward" to celebrate victory turned out to be a deadly poison!
"Baga, you cunning Eighth Route Army! Have you found out what the poison is?"
The Japanese military doctor Sanmu had a low handle.
"I'm sorry, General, there are no clues yet. But according to my analysis, it should be a local wild poison. Because, there is no poison that matches these symptoms! Moreover, the Eighth Route Army does not have the technology to extract poison!"
Of course, Kenjiro Keisuke Miura doesn't care about the source of these poisons, he just wants to know if there is an antidote.
Keisuke Miura took a deep breath.
"Military Doctor Sanmu, please find a solution. The war is imminent and no accidents are allowed! Please!"
The Japanese military doctor took the order and left. According to his understanding of Kenjiro Kei Miura, if they were defeated again, Kenjiro Kei Miura would most likely commit disembowelment to apologize.
However, he would definitely kill this military doctor before he died!
"Immediately bring all the nearby villagers here and interrogate them one by one to see if any of them have these symptoms!"
Military Doctor Sanmu can only place his hope on the local villagers now, otherwise how can he investigate?
