Chapter 128 The call fails. Don’t panic. They don’t have the ability to do so.

Zhou Weiguo looked up into the distance and saw that the Japanese troops were indeed running away.
He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and nodded; "Chase, chase them quickly, chase them as far as you can, the trucks should not wait for the tanks, rush forward as fast as possible, do not save ammunition, and kill any small vehicle you encounter."
Japanese military headquarters.
There were bursts of artillery roars coming from afar. Matsui Iwane stood in front of the window, looked up at the bomber that had just flown past, and then he hummed and came to the map.
The 18th Brigade will be the main attack this time to break through the 74th Army's defense line, and the rest of the troops will be used as a diversion. This is his battle plan.
"Ask me where the 18th Brigade has advanced to now."
He never thought that the 18th Brigade could not defeat the enemy, as it was an attack supported by aviation and heavy artillery. If they could not defeat the enemy, he would have to consider whether the Empire's army was truly invincible.
A staff officer nearby quickly went over and called the 18th Brigade.
What a pity. The phone was busy and the call was not going through.
He paused for a moment, shook it again, and it was the same.
"General, we cannot get through to the 18th Brigade headquarters." The staff officer shouted, and the busy headquarters fell into deathly silence.
The call couldn't be connected. The last time the call couldn't be connected was during the 11th Brigade. By the time the messenger went there, no one was left at the 11th Brigade headquarters.
Could it be that the 18th Brigade is also... gone?
"Baga. Do your thing. The Nanjing army doesn't have the ability to do that." Matsui Iwane growled with gritted teeth.
He could tell at a glance what these people were thinking. They were frightened by the destruction of the 11th Brigade Command.
They all have idiot brains. Last time, the Nanjing army was able to defeat the 11th Brigade, but that was just a fluke. How could they do that this time?
"Contact via radio." Matsui Iwane ordered.
The staff officer nodded and left for the telecommunications department.
The radio station, also called... no response.
The staff officer felt overwhelmed and could not accept such a result, so he asked the radio operator to call again.
Still, no response.
It’s broken, no...it can’t be really gone.
"Sugaga, I'm afraid Matsui Ishigen will be so angry that he will vomit blood this time." Zhou Weiguo stood beside the tank, picked up a command knife on the ground and took a look at it, then his eyes fell on the half-dead body on the ground.
Only the upper half of the body was left, and the rank on it was obviously that of a major general. Next to it, there were several lieutenant colonels and a colonel.
"I think he will be so angry that he will die. This is the second brigade headquarters that we have destroyed." Fang Shengli squatted on the ground, took out the cigarette from Jing Shuxuan's pocket and handed it to Zhou Weiguo; "Weiguo, are we going to make them hate us to the core next?"
Zhou Weiguo put the command knife into the scabbard and said, "Hate him if you want, what can he do?"
"Captain." Liu Jun ran to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Captain, are we going to chase them or not?"
He had chased for more than 200 meters, and when he looked back, he saw that neither the tanks nor the trucks had come up. He was so scared that he immediately ordered his troops to stop the attack and come back to ask.
Should I chase them or not? If not, I will let them come back. It would be a waste if we are surrounded by them.
Zhou Weiguo pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, "Let's stop chasing. Let's go back and kill the detachment that is trying to divert them."
When Liu Jun was about to leave, Fang Shengli grabbed him and said, "Don't run away, leave one company behind and move the things away. Don't forget the radio, telephone, gas mask and so on."
"Do we need to collect the bullet casings?" Liu Jun asked anxiously. He knew that Director Ono had taken a lot of bullet casings to Nanjing.
Zhou Weiguo's face darkened, and he hit him on the head with his command knife. "Are you going to take it back to eat? Get out of here."
Yu Huohuo was leading his main force to launch a general attack on the tied regiment, or to be more precise, an interception.
When the Japanese regiment noticed that the brigade headquarters next to them had been defeated by the enemy, they immediately realized that if they did not evacuate, they would definitely be surrounded by the enemy.
The commander ordered a squadron to continue the attack while the main force quickly withdrew to the rear.
But he didn't expect that the main force of the 74th Army followed behind the Independent Regiment and went directly around them.
The two sides immediately launched a battle, which eventually turned into a hand-to-hand fight.
Yu Huohuo wielded the machete in his hand with great vigor. He chopped down a second lieutenant who was fighting against him with one blow. Then he turned around and saw a lieutenant colonel chopping his soldiers like watermelons.
This made his eyes redden and he shouted, "You damned bastard, give me your life."
Commander Wang knew that the commander was so blood-thirsty that he probably wouldn't even look at the current situation. He took a deep breath and looked around.
Two divisions tried to intercept an enemy regiment, but were actually suppressed by the enemy. Moreover, it seemed that they could not be stopped at the eleven o'clock direction.
If we let them out, then... that would be embarrassing.
Also, the lieutenant colonel is obviously skilled in martial arts. If the general were to go up and get chopped down by him, the morale of the army would be destroyed.
"Commander, Commander Wang killed a Japanese soldier and ran to Yu Huohuo; "Commander, we can't stop them, they may get out."
Master Wang guessed that he didn't believe it, so he pointed to 11 o'clock and said, "You see what to do."
Yu Huohuo looked in the direction of his hand and saw that the Japanese troops were indeed about to leave.
He waved his hand; "Let them go."
No...it's not.
Two divisions can't stop one regiment of the enemy, and if they are allowed to leave, then...
Also, there are Japanese bombers in the sky. They are not dropping bombs now because both sides are fighting. If they are allowed to leave, the other side will swarm over them like flies.
"Let them go. Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment must have come this way. If they go out, they will only encounter more brutal enemies than us."
At this point, he thought for a moment and added, "At least give them a chance to survive."
If they are not given the opportunity, they will risk their lives. However, if they are given the opportunity, they will not think about risking their lives, but about running away.
Who wants to die when there is hope for life? I am not a fool.
Commander Wang suddenly realized what was going on. He asked his adjutant to convey the order, and then followed Yu Huohuo to stop the lieutenant colonel, and then they joined forces to kill him.
"Pretty powerful." Yu Huohuo kicked the fallen corpse.
Commander Wang's mouth twitched slightly.
He finally understood why the person in front of him had the nickname "Huo Huo". This guy was really willing to risk his life to fight with others.
"Commander, is the 18th Brigade Headquarters still there?" Division Commander Wang asked with narrowed eyes.
Yu Huohuo squatted down and tore off his military rank, then muttered, "I don't know, if it's gone, it's gone."
After saying this, his hand moved to another place.
Upon seeing this, Commander Wang shuddered and tried to cover his face with his hands.
This bastard Zhou Weiguo is too... too fucking influential.
