Zhang Xiaowu, who was standing nearby, came over and made a suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head. "Pursue? Pursue my ass. How many people are there in our militia? Just over a thousand. Even if the Japanese retreat, they'll launch a counterattack soon enough."
"Besides, our militia has only been established for a short time. If we fight the Japanese head-on, we will definitely suffer losses. If there are a lot of casualties, the losses will be huge. Let's play it safe and proceed cautiously."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded, deeply agreeing, "Commander, your analysis is correct, I understand."
"However, since you, Commander, are certain the Japanese will counterattack, why don't we..."
Zhang Xiaowu explained his plan.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he patted him on the shoulder, "So you're not so stupid after all. This trick is indeed insidious and ruthless!"
"Okay! Go down and make the arrangements right away, and remember to fill the cellar to the brim."
"I'm going to prepare a big gift for the Japanese devils."
"Dele".
Zhang Xiaowu grinned and went to make the arrangements himself.
……………………
Zhangzhuang, the headquarters of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade.
Brigade Commander Tadao Yoshizawa's face was frighteningly gloomy.
I just received a telegram from the 17th Regiment. The 17th Regiment was ambushed by the Chinese army in Wu'an Township and suffered more than half its losses. They are requesting reinforcements.
Tadao Yoshizawa's eyes were practically spitting fire.
"Baka!"
"Baka!!"
"Baka!!!"
"I will personally annihilate this entire Chinese army! I will make them pay the price!!!"
Tadao Yoshizawa's eyes were bloodshot as he roared and howled.
A regiment suffered over 1,800 casualties; if word got out, he, as the brigade commander, would be utterly disgraced!
"Order the 49th Regiment to immediately reinforce the 17th Regiment!"
"Hi, Your Excellency!"
Chief of Staff Yoshio Ishikawa was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered something, and his expression turned grim again.
"General Yoshizawa, could this be a trap?"
Yoshizawa Tadao sneered, "A trap? How could there possibly be a trap!"
"We've clashed with the Chinese army more than once or twice. Even if they have tens of thousands of troops, they are no match for our Third Brigade!"
Yoshio Ishikawa looked distressed. "What if it's a trap?"
"Baka! What do you mean by saying that at a time like this?!"
Yoshizawa Tadao angrily retorted, "Ishikawa-kun, are you going to watch our Imperial soldiers bleed in vain?!"
"Yes, I'll give the order right away!"
After saying that, Yoshio Ishikawa quickly ran out of the command post.
Yoshizawa Tadao personally led the 49th Regiment toward Wu'an Township.
News of the relocation of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade quickly reached the headquarters of the 129th Division.
