Chapter 1064 Do they have some misunderstanding about us?
"Brother-in-law, could you please stop hitting my head?"
Zhou Weiguo chuckled; "If it weren't for Xu Hu's sake, I would have slapped you across the face."
Wearing a white coat to the front lines—that really shows they don't value their own lives.
When the Japanese army came, their first target might not be your commander, but the medic would definitely be the first to be eliminated. And coincidentally, white coats were very valuable in the mountain city. If you weren't a doctor, you wouldn't have a white coat; at most, you'd just have an apron. Fan Xiaoyu was the head of the field hospital, and she knew a lot. Such a person could save many wounded soldiers of the independent brigade.
The Japanese military also valued this point, so they usually dealt with medics first.
Coincidentally, that was what he was thinking too, but the other party was clearly smarter. Most of the medics were not on the front lines, so he didn't find an opportunity.
"I know I was wrong, but I was in such a hurry, brother-in-law. The fighting is so fierce, there will be many wounded soldiers, why..."
Zhou Weiguo no longer blamed Fan Xiaoyu for sitting in the chair; "It's not that I don't want to remove them, but there's simply no time to do so now."
He did attempt to evacuate, but he couldn't manage to.
As soon as the fighting stops, Japanese bombers and artillery will come crashing down.
Not only were the wounded killed in the explosion, but the people who brought the wounded were also killed.
Since that's the case, he won't escort them anymore. If they can be sent to a bunker, they will be sent to a bunker; if not, he will send them to his own command post.
"Alright, stop sitting here. Since you're all here, let's get to the treatment. My command post is now a field hospital." Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, signaling Fan Xiaoyu to get to work.
Fan Xiaoyu looked at the wounded in the command post and stopped talking. Instead, she went over and glanced at them, saying, "Drag two tables over."
There's no other option but to use the operating room, so we'll just have to make do with two tables.
Busy activity began in the makeshift operating room, and the already small command center became even more crowded.
Zhou Weiguo moved the bullets to the designated bullet storage area.
He picked up a magazine, then grabbed a handful of bullets and loaded them into it one by one.
"Brigade Commander, why can't we retreat?" Wang Yun was writing a draft beside him, but she couldn't understand why the brigade commander would say that they couldn't retreat.
Since the theater command ordered this area to evacuate, it means they've realized there's a problem.
"Withdraw?" Zhou Weiguo turned to look at her and said, "We can't withdraw. If we withdraw now, the 14th Division will immediately press forward."
The 14th Division is definitely watching them closely. They're not going to withdraw, and even if they were, they wouldn't do it now.
how come?
Standing before the battle map, Tani Hisao listened to the phone call from the observation post and, incredulous, walked out of the command post to the very front.
"How could this be? How is that possible? Why aren't they planning to evacuate?"
He had already prepared his troops, secretly mobilizing two regiments and tanks. He had calculated that since the 1st Division had sent a brigade to cut off his Independent Brigade's retreat, it meant that the Independent Brigade's only way to survive was to evacuate.
Would he allow the independent brigade to withdraw? Obviously not.
If the Independent Brigade were to withdraw, he wouldn't have a good time; he was well aware of that.
Uejima, who was standing nearby, also felt a little strange and said, "Logically speaking, they should already know that our army is retreating behind them."
After the poison gas attack failed, the person next to him realized that things had gotten out of hand and immediately reported it to the North China Area Army.
Clearly, this was the first time he had ever seen a division commander slapped in the face in front of several brigade commanders.
Hisao Tani is one of a kind.
He still remembers General Kiyoshi Kazuki's face and the curses he uttered at that time.
"Are you out of your mind? Yamashiro is no longer the Yamashiro it used to be, nor is it the Yamashiro you led when you were in charge of the 6th Division, where you could do whatever you wanted. They now have poison gas. I don't believe you really don't know how the enemy will deal with us once we use poison gas on the front lines."
As for revenge, just drop poison gas on the mountain city. The mountain city doesn't care at all. They've long been used to the bombings. The poison gas you drop will only kill a few more people and make them hate you even more. As for anything else, you won't get anything.
But would the Empire dare? The Empire simply wouldn't dare. With several attacks using poison gas, Kyoto could no longer find a suitable reason to explain it.
If you can't explain it, then you have no choice but to admit it. But what will happen if you admit it?
Kiyoshi Kazuki wanted to shoot Hisao Tani on the spot.
Ue-i noticed this.
But since the deed was done, there was no point in complaining. Therefore, General Xiangyue immediately made adjustments and revised the plan, which involved mobilizing a brigade to block the Independent Brigade's retreat.
Based on his analysis, since one brigade couldn't force the independent brigade to withdraw, then the previous brigade should do it. He didn't believe that the Fifth War Zone Command would actually allow him to stay there after receiving this information.
As long as he withdraws, that will be an opportunity, and the 14th Division can immediately press forward.
For this plan, the brigades from the 1st Division came openly, just to let the other side know the news.
but now……
We've received the news, but the other side simply won't leave.
"Division Commander, it seems they understand our intentions and plan to hold their ground here."
Tani Hisao took a deep breath. He was a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "This is good. Since they want to die, let them stay."
At this point, he thought for a moment and said, "We must not stop attacking them every day, and we must not give them any rest."
"Am I, Tani Hisao, insane, or are the officers and soldiers of the 14th Division insane?" In the command post, Zhou Weiguo looked at the position that had been shelled again and still couldn't figure out whether this old bastard Tani Hisao was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Even though I wasn't leaving, he still attacked me.
"He must have realized that if he doesn't suppress us this time, his life won't be easy, and he might even suffer a fate worse than death."
Takeshita Shun approached Zhou Weiguo with his hands behind his back. Knowing Zhou Weiguo as he did, he knew that if this guy got out of Chenzhuang alive, he would definitely turn the entire Tokyo upside down.
Zhou Weiguo was taken aback, then frowned and said, "They...do they have some misunderstanding about me?"
A misunderstanding? What makes you say that?
