Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 235 What's the point of playing this game?!
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"Commander, I just spoke with Commander Okamura."

Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the North China Expeditionary Army, came to Shinotsuka Yoshio and said, "Commander Okamura has agreed. The biological weapons produced by Unit 731 are being installed and will soon be transported to us by transport plane."

"Yoshi." Yoshio Shinotsuka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "With this biological weapon, we are much more confident in defending our key rear areas."

Originally, Yoshio Shinotsuka felt that the strategic defense of the rear was still somewhat lacking.

Now that the biological weapons produced by Unit 731 have arrived, the Chinese, without protective equipment, are like a flock of sheep in the face of biological weapons.

Immediately afterward, Yoshio Shinotsuka asked, "Is there a large quantity of these biological weapons? If there are enough, I won't need to use them for defense; I can start an attack directly."

“Not many,” Miyano Michiichi shook his head and said, “The main forces on other battlefields also urgently need a considerable number of biological weapons.”

“Then we’ll use it for defense for now…” Yoshio Shinotsuka didn’t finish his sentence.

A staff officer from the First Army rushed over like a man on fire and handed Yoshio Shinotsuka an urgent telegram: "Commander, Major General Kawashima, Major General Muto, and Major General Miyai have jointly sent an urgent telegram."

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinotsuka was immediately stunned.

The three brigade commanders were ordered to withdraw to rescue the cherry blossom tree, but now this urgent telegram has come in all at once. Could it be that the cherry blossom tree has already met with some misfortune?
"Read it to me." Yoshio Shinotsuka didn't dare to answer.

The staff officer read aloud, "We found a piece of Cherry Blossom Tree's personal clothing. Preliminary judgment indicates that Cherry Blossom Tree has been subjected to serious gang rape by Chinese!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinotsuka was struck dumb.

The cherry blossom trees have been subjected to serious, repeated acts of violence by the Chinese! This, this, this... those damned Chinese, where did they get the audacity!

This is touching the Imperial Army's sore spot; this is a blatant provocation!
Upon hearing this, Miyano Michiichi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What? Miss Sakura was captured by the Chinese?"

When Miss Sakura came to Taiyuan, Miyano Michiichi also met her.

This is a woman who combines beauty and intelligence; it would be a lie for Miyano Michiichi to say he doesn't admire her.

As a result, this admiration had only just begun when the cherry blossom trees were violated and desecrated by the Chinese pigs!

The thought of such a beautiful and intelligent woman being pinned down by a bunch of Chinese pigs fueled Miyano Michiichi's anger.

Yoshio Shinotsuka yelled at his staff officer, "Tell Muto and the others immediately that no matter where the Eighth Route Army is hiding, they must find them! Cherry Blossom Tree must be found, alive or dead!"

"Hai!" The staff officer hurriedly ran away.

"Baka, baka, baka!" Yoshio Shinotsuka stomped his foot angrily, cursing, "These stinking pigs in the circle, how dare they treat Miss Sakura like this? They're asking for death!"

Immediately afterwards, Yoshio Shinotsuka's gaze fell menacingly on Miyano Michiichi's face, as if Miyano Michiichi had violated the cherry blossom tree: "Miyano-kun, when will this biological weapon arrive?"

"I should be able to arrive at Taiyuan Airport before noon tomorrow," Miyano Michiichi replied quickly.

"No need to transport it to Taiyuan Airport anymore," Yoshio Shinotsuka roared. "Tell the Army Aviation to airdrop the biological bombs to Muto-kun and his men, and let those damned Eighth Route Army soldiers taste their own medicine."

Miyano Michiichi did not immediately agree, but looked at Shinotsuka Yoshio: "Commander, was Miss Sakura really captured by the Eighth Route Army?"

The news came so suddenly that Miyano Michiichi is still unable to accept it.

Yoshio Shinotsuka was furious: "We originally planned to send her away by military aircraft, but this awful weather has caused a sandstorm, and it's getting stronger and stronger. That's why we had Miss Sakura take the land route to the next airport without sandstorms to take a military aircraft back home. Who would have thought that for some reason, she lingered near the Ninth Brigade, and the Eighth Route Army just happened to attack the Ninth Brigade's base."

"I see." Miyano Michiichi's expression remained blank for a while before he finally had to force himself to accept it.

However, Miyano Michiichi remained calm and said seriously to Shinotsuka Yoshio, "Commander, you are acting rashly. If the biological weapons are given to Muto-kun and his men, and they fail to find the Eighth Route Army, but instead the Eighth Route Army rushes to Taiyuan, wouldn't that ruin everything?"

“How about this?” Yoshio Shinotsuka was still furious. “If Muto-kun and the others find the Eighth Route Army, then let’s use biological weapons to send them on their way.”

“Okay.” This time, Miyano Michiichi had no other objections.

These Eighth Route Army guerrillas are truly despicable. I can't quell my hatred without sending them on their way with biological weapons!

"Baka, baka, baka..."

Miyano Michiichi left quickly, while Shinotsuka Yoshio was raging in his office, throwing things and documents everywhere.

……

"Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, what have you two done? Why are the three brigades of Japanese soldiers acting like they've been given the wrong injection?"

After sweeping through the 29th Brigade's base, Blind Cheng and Gao Xigang met up with Ding Wei and Li Yunlong on their way back. Both of them were very curious.

What did these two do this time that caused three brigades of Japanese soldiers to be pulled out of the encirclement and suppression force? These three brigades of Japanese soldiers went berserk. If Cheng the Blind and Gao Xigang hadn't acted quickly and slipped away beforehand, they might have been discovered.

The two men wouldn't believe that they had attracted the Japanese soldiers by sweeping through the garrisons of the 9th and 29th Brigades.

Otherwise, the Japanese brigade would have come out last night when they were dealing with the 9th Brigade's base.

Therefore, there is only one explanation: Li Yunlong and Ding Wei must have done something to hit the Japanese in a sore spot.

"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "You tell me, isn't my move effective? Three brigades of Japanese soldiers have come over, and our main force only has one division of Japanese soldiers left. The pressure on them has been greatly reduced. As long as the Japanese division can't make things difficult for the main force, our border region arsenal won't have to stop production. Who knows, the new type of rocket might be produced very soon, hahaha."

"Not bad, impressive." Both Blind Cheng and Gao Xigang were very impressed.

With three brigades missing from their encirclement and suppression force, the main force and the Japanese divisions are likely locked in a tug-of-war.

Once enough new rockets are produced at the border arsenal, this Japanese division will most likely become the test subjects.

Of course, what the two were most curious about was what Li Yunlong had actually done.

Blind Cheng asked, "Li Yunlong, stop being so mysterious, just tell me, what exactly did you do?"

Ding Wei, standing next to Li Yunlong, explained with a smile: "When Li Yunlong and I attacked the Ninth Brigade's base, we were lucky enough to capture a Japanese woman. Although we don't know her exact identity yet, we did a little test, and look, three Japanese brigades have gone crazy."

"Capturing a Japanese woman has driven three brigades of Japanese soldiers crazy?" Cheng Xiazi and Gao Xigang were both astonished. "What kind of Japanese woman is so valuable? It can't be that you captured the Emperor's wife, can it?"

"Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "If it were the Emperor's wife, it wouldn't just be three Japanese brigades coming; Yoshio Shinozuka would have to personally take to the field."

"Haha, that's true, that's true." Blind Cheng and Gao Xigang both nodded, asking curiously, "Where's this Japanese woman? Let's bring her over and take a look."

"Let's not look anymore. That woman is timid and troublesome," Li Yunlong said, waving his hand. "Gentlemen, these three brigades of Japanese soldiers have been provoked. We need to prepare for battle in advance. Tomorrow night, we'll take them down!"

These three brigades of Japanese soldiers posed a significant threat, but they were not without weaknesses.

They're frantically searching for us everywhere, tossing and turning all night and all day tomorrow.

By tomorrow night, even the Japanese devils will be exhausted.

When the time comes, we'll go out and deal with him directly... cough cough, a head-on fight is definitely not going to work, that would be reckless.

Let's find an opportunity to destroy their supplies and make them starve, then we'll see how we deal with them!

Once those three Japanese brigades have rested, we can easily make our way towards Taiyuan without them noticing.

“No problem.” Both Blind Cheng and Gao Xigang were eager to get started.

Although Gao Liujin was hiding, he was not idle and sent people to gather intelligence outside.

When he learned that three brigades of Japanese soldiers had been recruited, he went crazy, which Gao Liujin found very strange.

Li Yunlong and his men only took over the garrisons of the 9th and 21st Brigades, yet the Japanese mobilized three brigades back. This doesn't make sense.

When Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and the others returned, Gao Liujin was furious after learning the reason: "Li Yunlong, you've recruited three Japanese brigades. How am I supposed to play now that it's dawn tomorrow?"

Damn it, what's the point of playing this?!

Three brigades of Japanese soldiers have gone mad outside. If we go out and show our faces, I guarantee that all three brigades of Japanese soldiers will swarm towards us.

Although our regiment has been reinforced with nearly a hundred grenade launchers and mortars, there are still more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers in three brigades, which is no joke.

"Gao Liujin, daytime is your time to move around, so you can do whatever you want," Li Yunlong said to Gao Liujin. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance to move around."

"Li Yunlong, you son of a bitch!" Gao Liujin jumped up and down, "Li Yunlong, you..."

Ding Wei spoke up: "Commander Gao, why don't you rest a bit more during the day? We'll all be mobilized tomorrow night, and I guarantee you'll be at the forefront."

“Three brigades of Japanese soldiers have gone mad. Shouldn’t we continue to hide?” Gao Liujin questioned.

"We can't let them actually find us and then we're forced to fight passively," Ding Wei said. "If those Japanese devils keep causing trouble all night, and then they keep causing trouble all day tomorrow, won't they get any sleep tomorrow night?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll rest for another day then." Gao Liujin was finally satisfied.
