Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 996 The temptation is too great.

This battle of annihilation might very well turn into a rout.

After glancing at the map, Commander Li narrowed his eyes, realizing what his old partner meant.

Tang Bingtuan.

If Tang's corps cannot stop the Japanese army, then this plan will come to an end.

"what is your opinion?"

After pondering for a moment, Little Zhuge said, "I will go to the Legion to oversee things and prevent them from not sending troops. Also, have the Independent Brigade withdraw and immediately begin resting. They are a pair of scissors in your hands. With them there, you don't need to worry about charging into battle. They will tear open the enemy's defenses and create gaps. As for the rear, I think you should deploy relatively strong troops so that you can keep up with their pace."

The Independent Regiment's defense relies on the most solid tunnel digging tactics, while their offense is all about speed; they will absolutely not wait for your follow-up troops.

"Okay, I'll adjust the deployment immediately."

Boom boom... boom boom boom...

The faint sounds of artillery fire on the horizon and the occasional booming in the air made Ono, who was lying on the armchair in the quartermaster's office, increasingly uncomfortable. He got up from the armchair, put his hands on his hips, and said to Chen Ning beside him, "How can he be a brigade commander? It's just that he lost some troops. Why doesn't he know how to fight for it?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Ning said, "Perhaps... perhaps the higher-ups have other considerations."

"What are your considerations? The higher-ups just don't want us to make money. Sure enough, the Central Army is all the big shots in other places, but in the Fifth War Zone, they're really nobody's business."

"I could hear you venting your frustrations from afar," Zhou Weiguo said as he led Chao Xiangxiu and Xiao Ya inside.

Ono said with a disdainful look, "What, am I not telling the truth?"

The Independent Brigade was fighting well ahead, but then an order came down from above to rest and reorganize, and the Guangxi Army took over.

What does this mean? It means envy, envy that the Independent Brigade is about to obtain a rich spoils of war.

"Don't think too badly of people. The purpose of the command is to make the Japanese army more careless, and as the spearhead, we will naturally be the first to go up."

"I don't believe you." Ono calmly lay back in the armchair and pointed to Xiao Ya next to Zhou Weiguo; "I'll listen to her."

Zhou Weiguo smiled but didn't say anything. He generously made way for Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya glanced at Xiao Ye and said, "You don't think the Guangxi army can hold out, do you?"

"They should, maybe, probably can hold out," Ono said uncertainly. "They are the Guangxi Army."

The Guangxi Army has never been poorly equipped. Although most of the weapons they brought from the south were given to the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army also received a batch of subsidies, especially for machine guns and artillery. They received quite a lot.

Asaka Hideaki laughed from the side, "The Independent Brigade suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to replace it with the Guangxi Army to intercept the Japanese attack. However, the Japanese attack was too fierce, and the Guangxi Army could not stop the Japanese attack. Helpless, the Fifth War Zone Command had to transfer the Independent Brigade, which was replenishing and resting, back to the front line. Do you think the Japanese will care if a force that no longer poses much of a threat is sent up again?"

Ono seemed to understand something and laughed, "So, the commander of the Fifth War Zone is still looking out for us, to some extent."

Zhou Weiguo hummed in agreement; "Otherwise, everything we're doing now is so that we can better take down this force next."

Hahaha……

Ono, following Zhou Weiguo's lead, burst into laughter. This was exactly the result he wanted; as long as the Independent Brigade could go to the battlefield and pick up scraps, he didn't mind, he'd wait a little longer.

The 14th Division and the Setani Detachment joined forces.

As the Independent Brigade's forces were redeployed, a corps of the Guangxi Army stepped up. After receiving the Guangxi Army's weapons and equipment, Togo Heiichiro's gaze immediately followed the Guangxi Army's location.

Seeing this, Seya, who was standing nearby, trembled with fright and said, "Togo-kun, you're not planning to break through the Katsura Army's defenses and then outflank the Fifth War Zone to annihilate them, are you?"

Heiichiro Togo turned and glanced at him before saying, "What, don't you think this is a good way?"

A good approach?

That's not necessarily true.

After observing the current location of his troops, Seya pointed to the location of Tang's army. "We have penetrated deep into enemy territory. If we continue south, Tang's army will launch an attack from our flank and rear, and we will be surrounded by them."

At that point, it won't be a chase, but a narrow escape from death.

"Segaya-kun, you're overthinking it. Not to mention that the 13th Division has already moved back about ten kilometers, even if they launch an attack, what can they do? You don't really think that Tang's army can withstand our attack, do you?"

At this point, he pointed to the map; "Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

What Sakata and the others couldn't accomplish back then, they might be able to do now. He figured that the achievement and honor would be immense, and even without him saying it, Setani would know.

"Your detachment and the 14th Division are still being vilified. Do you want to continue to bear this stigma forever?"

Of course, Seya didn't want to bear this infamy. Ever since the heavy losses he suffered in the battles of Taierzhuang and Tengxian, even though so much time had passed, he still carried the shameful name.

“Of course I don’t want to bear these accusations, but Togo-kun, this is far too risky. We’ve already reached our limit. If we continue to push southward, there’s a risk of problems.”

Togo Heiichiro chuckled twice; "The problem, what problem? You don't mean the Independent Brigade that has already retreated to the rear, do you?"

Seya didn't speak, but what he meant was indeed the case: there was still an independent brigade in the Fifth War Zone.

"You're like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is afraid of a rope for ten years. So what if their Independent Brigade is powerful? They've already lost their fighting capacity due to their own people's schemes." Togo Ichiro pointed at him, then added, "There's a saying here in Yamashiro. I don't know how much you understand it?"

话？

After sitting down in the chair next to him, Seya asked, "I wonder what Togo-kun meant by that phrase." How interesting. It seems this guy is trying to lecture me.

Does he not know just how capable the Independent Brigade is? Does he know that the Independent Brigade has never been temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield for rest and reorganization?
