Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 334: The Navy is Heartbroken

Zhou Weiguo glanced at Zhao Xiang Xiuling and said with a faint smile, "There are people who are really not afraid of death."

Not to mention, it was such a cruel death, with no body left. How many people can withstand such a blow?

Chaoxiang Xiuling thought about it and felt that it made sense. He looked at the independent regiment and the quartermaster department that had already rushed forward, and knew in his heart that the Hata detachment was really finished this time.

"What kind of expression would Okamura Yasuji have if he knew that the Hata detachment was completely wiped out?"

what expression?

Zhou Weiguo shook his head slightly; "I'm afraid I don't know about this."

The whole army was destroyed.

Shigeru Miyamoto glanced at the telegram in his hand. Even though he knew that the Hata Detachment was doomed this time, when he actually heard the news, he still found it difficult to accept it.

News came from the front that the Hata Detachment was defeated in Pingyangba. Among the more than 3,000 people, only a few hundred escaped. The rest, including the commander of the Hata Detachment and the command organization, were all killed.

"Captain, the Hata detachment is gone." Shigeru Miyamoto handed the telegram to Takeshita Shun.

As expected, Takeshita Shun did not read the telegram, but looked out the window for a long time and said, "The biggest mistake of the Hata Detachment was the use of poison gas bombs. Otherwise, they would not have allowed the Independent Regiment to chase them. Everything is their own fault."

Shigeru Miyamoto did not comment on this matter. In a war between soldiers, using poison gas bombs is not a gentleman's behavior. And knowing that they have poison gas bombs, still using poison gas bombs is undoubtedly stupid and does not take their own people seriously.

"Captain, the army's attack has probably failed. Will the navy take over next?"

The Ma'anjiang Defense Fortress is the only way for the Empire to attack Wuhan. The 11th Army and the 2nd Fleet will not give up so easily, but the attack of the army is very bad.

Given the conflict between the navy and the army, I'm afraid they...

"Next, isn't it good? However, I'm afraid that the 11th Army Headquarters will become the first one to be completely humiliated by the Navy. I don't know how Lord Okamura will deal with it. I am really looking forward to the Navy's cleansing."

"If you can do it, go ahead." 11th Army Headquarters.

Okamura Neiji really couldn't stand Hase Kiyoshi's nagging anymore.

The destruction of the Hata detachment had already made him very upset, and problems also arose in Tokyo.

I don't know who leaked the news that more than a thousand people from the Hata detachment died in battle. When the news came from there, the street teahouses were filled with insults and accusations that I was deceiving my superiors and my subordinates. Even the Prime Minister's Office was affected.

The base camp is also quite dissatisfied with this matter and is even investigating it.

He was a little overwhelmed by such a reversal. He had thought that as long as the Hata Detachment could capture the Madangjiang Defense Fortress, none of this would have happened and the higher-ups wouldn't say anything even if they knew.

But unfortunately, this morning, the news that the Hata detachment was almost completely wiped out was delivered to his desk.

He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he rested for a few hours, ready to make up for the failure of this plan. Who knew that the commander of the 3rd Fleet, Hase Kiyoshi, came here and talked about the incompetence of the 11th Army and the incompetence of the Imperial Army.

He needed to deal with the rumors in Tokyo. He needed to find a suitable reason to report the destruction of the Hata detachment, and he needed to minimize the impact of the incident.

My mind was already in a mess, and now this Hase Kiyoshi is so blind that he has been chattering here for nearly an hour. Anyone would get angry.

"Okay, then our navy will take over this matter." Hase Kiyoshi took the big hat next to him, put it on his head, stood up, walked to the door, and seemed to have thought of something, he hummed and turned his head; "I heard that some time ago, more than a thousand people from the Hata detachment died in battle, but it was fake, and they ran back. Tokyo, who didn't know about it, held a memorial ceremony for several days. Now, the Hata detachment is almost wiped out, I think Tokyo's efforts are not in vain."

"Get out." No matter how good-tempered Okamura Neiji was, Hase Kiyoshi ignited his anger at this moment.

Hase Kiyoshi said such a shameful thing at this time, which was obviously a slap in his own face.

Hahaha……

Hase Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes and laughed twice; "Tell your useless subordinates not to do it, otherwise they will appear again and let others annihilate thousands of people. That would be really embarrassing."

The current situation is already embarrassing enough, but Hase Kiyoshi actually wants to do it again.

"Someone come here." Okamura Ningji called out with a grim face.

The guards outside hurried in and stood in front of Okamura Neiji.

"Go, clean the floor carefully for me. Also, take out the teacup that Hasegawa Kiyoshi drank from and throw it away." Damn it, this is too much.

The roaring sound made Hase Kiyoshi very satisfied.

In fact, a few days ago, when the army attacked, he planned to use the marines to land and assist, but the 11th Army said they were capable of taking it down. This made him very angry.

How could he not understand that this was to transfer the credit for the capture of the Ma'an Fortress to his army, and the headquarters was also blindly letting the navy protect the transportation of supplies instead of going to the Ma'an River. This was to give the army a chance.

Now, they have failed. It depends on the navy. This incident is a good opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the army.

"Let the captains of the 2nd Destroyer Squadron and the 2th and 12th Marine Battalions come to see me." This time, we must let those army idiots know who are the real elite of the empire.

"Two destroyer squadrons and two Marine Corps battalions were deployed. It seems that this time, the navy will show its prowess." In Wuhan, the Madang River Defense Fortress was stabilized again, but the intelligence department did not let down their guard. On the contrary, they concentrated their main forces on the Madang River Defense Fortress.

Deng Yaoxian even suggested that after the army's failure, the Japanese navy would most likely take over the task of attacking the Madang Fortress, so he asked Du Xun to immediately focus his attention on the navy.

Sure enough, Du Xun reported today that the Japanese navy was gathering in Shanghai.

"Fourth brother, although there are three river defense forts, they still do not have an advantage in artillery. The enemy's two destroyer squadrons have entered. I am afraid that the river defense fortress will have problems." Du Xun was a little worried. If the river defense fortress was lost, there would be nothing to stop the Japanese navy from advancing. Thinking of this, he frowned and said, "This time, I am afraid we will suffer a great loss."

Deng Yaoxian, who was playing with a fountain pen, glanced at him and then asked calmly, "Where is the independent regiment?"

Independent Regiment, aren't we talking about the Jiang Defense Fortress now? Why did Fourth Brother ask about Zhou Weiguo's Independent Regiment again? But since he asked, Du Xun still answered; "After annihilating the Hata Detachment, the Independent Regiment returned to the Xiangshan Defense Line."

Xiangshan Defense Line? Deng Yaoxian laughed. "It's still unclear who will suffer the loss."
