Chapter 869 The Japanese Intrigue

The Japanese plot of 869

"fart.

I think he's taking advantage of the fact that we've blocked the southward advance of the Imperial Guard Division.

He's unhappy about it, isn't he?

A British officer immediately cursed.

"Exactly, that Chinese guy has no good intentions."

Other British officers echoed his sentiments.

Given that Robles had suffered setbacks in his several private confrontations with Ye Qingshan, which indirectly harmed the interests of these British officers, the situation was dire.

This made these people dislike Ye Qingshan.

"Commander, ignore the Chinese side."

This time, we can defeat the Japanese army ourselves.

The Japanese offensive faltered this week, which gave these British officers renewed confidence.

They believed that the Japanese army, now like a rootless weed, was no longer a match for them on the Malay Peninsula.

They no longer need the support of the expeditionary force.

Robles remained silent; he was not as arrogant as these British officers.

They believed that with their current strength, they could quickly defeat the two main Japanese divisions.

But at this point, Robles couldn't very well boost the morale of others while diminishing his own.

He had no choice but to reprimand the arrogant British officers, saying, "Alright, shut up!"

Now, we are allies with the Chinese people.

Don't say things that are detrimental to unity.

Commander Ye's reminder was well-intentioned.

The Japanese offensive has been acting strangely lately; it would be good to send someone out to scout it out.

In fact, Robles himself felt the same way.

Furthermore, although he and Ye Qingshan had always been rivals in private, Robles had never doubted Ye Qingshan's military capabilities.

Now that Ye Qingshan has said so...

He also needs to take some precautions.

It was July 5th, and the three hilltops were being defended by the Second Regiment of the Japanese Army in the Northern Banwufu.

The fighting here, which lasted for almost half a month, has finally come to an end.

In particular, during the last four days of the offensive, the three last strategically important hilltops defended by the Japanese regiment were finally captured by the combined efforts of the New First Division and the Armored Division.

"Go and inform Commander Zhou, tell them."

The Japanese soldiers who were trying to block us have all been annihilated by us.

We have opened up the road south; their troops can pass through.

Lu Dahai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the flag of their expeditionary force planted on the hilltop.

Immediately send a guard to send a telegram to the main force of the expeditionary force commanded by Zhou Pingkou.

A day earlier, the three main divisions of the expeditionary force commanded by Zhou Pingkou had all arrived and stationed themselves in a small town north of Banwufu.

Originally, Lu Dahai and Zhang Fa had promised Ye Qingshan that they should have annihilated the Japanese regiment yesterday.

It took another day to finish; it wasn't until after 2 PM this afternoon.

Soon, Zhou Pingkou, who was waiting in the north, received Lu Dahai's telegram, and his cold face finally softened.

"This big mouth of Lu is finally being reliable this time."

The order was given: the entire army must immediately march south.

During this period, Lu Dahai kept failing to complete the combat missions he had promised himself.

He was given a new nickname by Zheng the Cripple and others: Lu the Big Mouth.

If Lu Dahai found out about this, he would be furious.

Just as Zhou Pingkou led the main force of the expeditionary force through Banwufu and quickly headed south along the only highway.

In the surrounding jungle, Japanese spies immediately sent a telegram to the old Japanese soldier, Yamashita Tomoyuki, via radio.

At this time, Yamashita Tomoyuki, an old Japanese soldier who was still at the headquarters of the Japanese Imperial Guard Division in the Yibao area, received this news.

They immediately became anxious.

"The Second Regiment is gone."

The Chinese expeditionary force has passed through Banwufu and is rapidly heading south.

The advance team is expected to arrive in Songkhla in two days.

They'll probably attack within five days.

With a gloomy face, the old Japanese general Yamashita Tomoyuki spoke to the commander of the Imperial Guard Division and other Japanese officers.

In an instant, the noisy Japanese division command post fell silent.

All the Japanese generals turned to look at the old Japanese general, Tomoyuki Yamashita.

"Commander, the Second Regiment has delayed the Chinese army for half a month. They have done their best."

"The commander of the Imperial Guard Division, Takuma Nishimura, sighed and said."

With a cold and stern face, the old Japanese devil Yamashita Tomoyuki said in a deep voice, "I know that."

Later, I will, on behalf of our 25th Army, request commendation for the 2nd Regiment from His Majesty and the General Headquarters.

"And next, we need to do it within five days."

That is, to defeat the main British force here before the arrival of the main Chinese army.

boom!

Yamashita Tomoyuki, the old Japanese devil, slammed his fist hard on the map at the location of Long City, where the main force of the British army was located.

"Nishimura-kun, how are the preparations going with the First Regiment?"

"Yes, Commander, rest assured."

The First Wing sent a telegram yesterday saying they were in position.

It has not yet been discovered by the British army.

You can take action at any time.

I was just about to report to His Excellency the Commander that we should take action as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if things drag on too long, I'm worried the British will notice something amiss.

"Takuma Nishimura, the old Japanese man, nodded in reply."
