Chapter 438: Not Giving Face to the Brigade Commander
Shota Yamazaki was blown into several pieces.
Even Kumiko Yoshitake, who was with him, was blown to death.
However, compared to Yamazaki Shota, Yoshitake Kumiko was luckier, at least she had an intact body.
When the team was quickly clearing the battlefield, Yuan Shuai saw Kumiko Yoshitake's body and shook his head helplessly.
"Why don't you just stay in Suzhou and come to Hunan to die?"...
Not far away, Tan Guohao and his men ran here and asked the brothers who were cleaning the battlefield.
"Who is your supreme commander and where is he!"
"It's over there!"
A soldier casually pointed in a direction.
Unfortunately, at this time, Fu Hongfei was running towards Yuan Shuai.
What Tan Guohao saw was Fu Hongfei's silhouette.
"Captain?! Don't you have two brigades here? The brigade commander died?!"
Tan Guohao's face was full of confusion.
"Brigade Commander? Our brigade commander hasn't arrived yet. The highest-ranking officer here is our regiment commander!"
The soldier held his head high and chest puffed out proudly.
He was so focused on cleaning up the battlefield that he didn't even look up.
But when he looked up and saw that it was the brigade commander, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Captain? How many captains do you have?"
"We are the only regiment, and we are the New 4st Regiment of the 57th Brigade of the 174th Division of the th Army!"
"A regiment?!"
Tan Guohao and his men were immediately shocked and surrounded Zhang Wei.
In the darkness, with flickering fires, all he saw were a force of more than a thousand men clearing the battlefield. He came on horseback, and his main force was still behind.
"Commander, are they, are they really just this few people?"
"Such a small number of people killed so many devils?"
"This, this is impossible!"
Many of his men around him frowned in disbelief.
"Go and take a look first!"
Tan Guohao didn't believe it either, but he could only walk towards Fu Hongfei while observing the situation around him.
Fu Hongfei ran to Yuan Shuai and punched him in the chest.
"Great job, General Yuan! This battle was brilliant!"
"The Yamazaki Brigade!"
"This is the Yamazaki Brigade, a legitimate independent brigade of the Kwantung Army. I didn't expect that we would defeat them so quickly! You are such a good fighter! I want to be your brother, so you can't look down on me! After all, I am from the Anti-Japanese Iron Army!"
Fu Hongfei's eyes were filled with admiration, excitement and anticipation.
Yamazaki Brigade!
Even if more than half of the Yamazaki Brigade's men died in the attack on the county town and the siege on Marshal Yuan, there were still more than 2,000 people.
And they have his regiment here, plus a dozen of Yuan Shuai's brothers.
If it had been before, even if he had fought with all his brothers in the regiment, he would not have been able to defeat the Yamazaki Brigade.
And now, the Yamazaki Brigade actually died at the hands of their regiment.
This was something he had never dreamed of.
And now it has become a reality.
Yuan Shuai said with a smile.
"It's just a thousand Yamazaki brigades. I've fought against divisions before. A mere brigade is nothing!"
"..."
Fu Hongfei's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Because General Yuan was not bragging, he had really defeated the Japanese division.
In comparison, he was really aiming high if he wanted to be brothers with Yuan Shuai.
However, Yuan Shuai smiled and patted his shoulder and said.
"We fought the devils together, so we are brothers. As long as your Iron Army doesn't point their guns at my Black Wolf Army in the future, we will always be good brothers!"
"Don't worry, as long as I, Fu Hongfei, am here, my regiment will never point its guns at the Chinese, let alone at our benefactors and brothers!"
Fu Hongfei patted his chest proudly.
"You are the supreme commander here!"
At this time, Tan Guohao and his brothers came here. When they were still more than ten feet away from here, they shouted at the top of their lungs.
"You fought beautifully!"
"The Anti-Japanese Iron Army is worthy of being called the Anti-Japanese Iron Army. One regiment wiped out the Japanese Yamazaki Brigade!"
Fu Hongfei looked back at him and quickly stood at attention and saluted.
After all, he was just a regiment commander, while Tan Guohao was a brigade commander.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person, and as the head of the regiment, he must salute first.
"Hello, Brigadier!"
"Good, good, good, very good, you guys played really well, great!"
After returning a military salute, Tan Guohao patted his shoulder happily and continued asking.
"You only have so few people, how did you fight? Also, were you the one who spoke Miao language on the radio earlier?"
"Report to the brigade commander, this battle is not under my command!"
Fu Hongfei's face turned red with embarrassment.
"If it's not you? Then who is it? Could it be that your soldiers just lied to me and it was your brigade commander who came?"
"Report, our brigade commander hasn't come yet. This battle was fought by our regiment, but it was not led by me. It was led by my good brother Yuan Shuai!"
"Yuan Shuai?! Why does it sound familiar to me?"
Tan Guohao frowned thoughtfully.
"General Yuan, General Yuan, don't leave, the brigade commander is here!"
Fu Hongfei originally wanted to introduce Yuan Shuai to the brigade commander, but Yuan Shuai had already turned around and shouted loudly at Hu Dacai.
"Dacai, are the brothers gathered?"
"We have just assembled and are waiting for your orders!"
"Very good, go and bring the field artillery here for me..."
"General Yuan, why are you here? Brigade Commander Tan from the Sixth Army is here!"
Yuan Shuai was still yelling at Hu Dacai, and Fu Hongfei quickly caught up with Tan Guohao.
"I don't care if he's a brigade commander or a division commander. The Japanese behind us are definitely coming. We must be well defended first! Tell your artillery to gather quickly and prepare the artillery position. The rest of you continue to quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare for the next battle!"
Yuan Shuai ignored him and instead ran towards Hu Dacai while shouting.
"I'm telling you... Damn it, aren't you tired? If you're not tired, then neither are our brothers!"
Fu Hongfei gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
Following Tan Guohao, his men frowned and shouted.
"Commander, this guy is too arrogant. You came here in person, but he ignored you. He really thinks he is so great just because he won a great victory!"
"That's right. We were the ones who captured the field artillery. If he wants the field artillery, he has to come to our brigade commander for approval!"
"See how rampant he will be later!"
Tan Guohao lost face in front of so many people and felt unhappy for a while, but soon he nodded thoughtfully.
"There are always people who are better than you. If it were you, who would dare to lead a regiment to fight a head-on battle with the Yamazaki Brigade without any defenses, and destroy the Yamazaki Brigade!"
With just one sentence, all the men lowered their heads in embarrassment.
However, his guard still retorted unhappily.
"But he is so disrespectful to you!"
"Face? Is face more important than fighting the Japanese? We got the news before. Behind them is the Tiangu Detachment, with more than 105 people, tanks, artillery, and even mm howitzers. He didn't get proud after winning the battle, but was thinking about preparing for the next battle. This is a soldier who fights in the war, this is an officer who fights in the war! You all should learn from him, don't think you are great just because you have a few things on your shoulders, fighting in the war depends on real skills!"
