Chapter 298 Re-defense
Ito Mifumi looked at the two of them and felt a little tired. Now the Nanshan army was powerful, and they only had more than 20,000 people in Qiyuan.
Moreover, the Nanshan Army would be fine if they really wanted to be friendly, but they really wanted to fight. In the two battles, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Little Locust died at the hands of the Nanshan Army.
If they really come recklessly, it wouldn't be a big deal if Qi Yuan was lost and the Tamura Division was destroyed, but his life would be threatened and his position would be in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, Ito Mifumi said sternly: "Tell Abe Tokiji on the front line to control the troops and not cause any more trouble."
"After the reinforcements arrive, we will deal with him about his annihilation of our army."
Ito Mifumi's evasive words calmed Tamura Koichi a little. After all, these little locust soldiers have always been arrogant and domineering, and they seem to be fearless.
He only hoped that the Tamura Division would be quieter, and when reinforcements arrived, the Nanshan Army would naturally not be able to be so arrogant.
Although they were defeated twice, Ito Shifumi firmly believed that the combat power of the Little Locust Army was still among the best in the world. The main reason for the first two failures was the small number of soldiers and the surprise attack by the Nanshan Army.
If the two armies really faced off, he believed that they had enough troops and would be able to defeat the Nanshan Army.
Qingshui Qianyun's voice sounded out at an inopportune moment: "General, how do you deal with the telegram sent by the Nanshan Army?"
"Hmph, let them hand over the captured dwarf locust army. We will investigate whether they entered our defense line or our army crossed the border." Tamura Mitsukazu said, confusing right and wrong.
The people of the Little Locust Country have always been able to say white is black and black is white. Only by beating them will they behave themselves.
Ito Mifumi rubbed his eyebrows and was also very troubled by this.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the Tamura Division would cause trouble, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the Nanshan Army would take extreme actions.
After thinking for a moment, Ito Mifumi said, "Send them a telegram and tell them that we will send a delegation to collect evidence and investigate the incident and discuss a solution."
"Yes, General." Qingshui Qianyun responded quickly.
Although Koichi Tamura was dissatisfied, he did not show it. After all, he was only there to collect evidence, investigate, and discuss solutions.
He only asked: "General, no matter what the outcome of the discussion is, you must make sure they release the captured soldiers."
In Cao County, Abe Tokiji was furious when he learned that Maeda's squad had crossed the border and was defeated, and some soldiers had been captured.
"Liu Sang, go to Shangyuan and tell them that our team accidentally entered Heyuan during a patrol mission. Ask them to release the captives."
After venting, Abe Tokiji said to the Singaporean translator sitting in the hall. This Singaporean translator was named Liu Yuanqing, from Qiyuan.
Liu Yuanqing said in embarrassment: "Sir, what if the other party refuses to release us?"
"If they don't release them, I will lead my troops across the river to rescue them." Abe Tokiji said nonchalantly.
Although Maeda entered Heyuan territory without permission, he was the only one who could handle the troops under his command, so he would have to wait and see when it was the turn of the new people to punish him.
In the impression of most Chinese, the new people are weak and can be bullied, but they are not afraid of them.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander." Liu Yuanqing secretly groaned in his heart and had to agree first.
Nanling, Nanshan Province, received the reply from the dwarf locust. The officer of the communications office did not dare to neglect it and quickly sent the telegram to Zhuang Jiwu.
Zhuang Jiwu sneered after seeing the telegram. These little locusts were still trying to use delaying tactics.
Arriving at Fang Jian's office, Zhuang Jiwu handed over the telegram and introduced it, "Chairman, this is the telegram from the dwarf locust."
"Oh, what did you say?" Fang Jian did not take the telegram, but asked lightly.
Zhuang Jiwu said: "They will send a delegation to investigate and collect evidence. After finding out the truth of the matter, they will discuss with us how to deal with it."
"It seems that they are planning to delay until reinforcements arrive from the mainland, and then turn against us." Fang Jian sneered.
The top leaders of the Nanshan government were already aware of the reinforcements from the dwarf locusts and were ready for war.
Fang Jian was still somewhat worried about this battle. Although the Nanshan Army was large in number, they had all been expanded from July last year to now.
There are not many true veterans, and a large number of them are new recruits recruited after the capture of Nanchuan.
This time we have to face more than 200,000 elite troops of the Dwarf Locust, six divisions.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Jian said, "Call them back and give us an explanation within three days."
"At the same time, inform Fang Guoxuan to take action in three days to eliminate the brigade in Dingcao County."
Fang Jian decided that before the five divisions from his homeland came to help, he must destroy the division in Qiyuan. Even if he couldn't destroy the division, he would cripple it.
"Yes, Chairman." Zhuang Jiwu responded and went down to convey the order.
Fang Jian couldn't help but sigh. This past year had been a stormy time. Ever since the capture of Nanchuan, the entire situation in the new country had completely changed.
While the Nanshan Army expanded rapidly, its foundation was also unstable. It nominally controlled fifteen provinces, but local forces had not been eliminated and most of its soldiers were new recruits who were not up to the task.
The ills left over from the previous dynasty still exist, but Nanshan Province is fine. The entire political environment has been rebuilt and the administration is relatively clean.
There are countless problems in other places besides Nanshan, and he currently cannot spare much energy to deal with these problems.
After receiving Fang Jian's telegram, Fang Guoxuan immediately began to mobilize and arrange the troops.
He was ready to redeploy his troops, so he discussed with Cai Yanwu: "Commander Cai, I plan to deploy all ten divisions of the First War Zone along the line from Lanxian to Shangyuan."
"Commander Fang, this line can be divided in half and given to our Second War Zone for defense," Cai Yanwu retorted.
"We will defend Lan County to Huamin County and assign it to the Second War Zone, while the First War Zone will defend Ningling to Shangyuan City."
Fang Guoxuan shook his head and said, "No, the Dwarf Locust reinforcements are about to arrive, and the Second War Zone needs to make further adjustments based on the Dwarf Locust's deployment."
"Our army has fought against a division of the Dwarf Locust before. Their troops are not only elite but also very crazy."
"We defeated an entire division, but only captured more than 500 prisoners. The Dwarf Locust Army is about to reinforce with five divisions, so we have to respond with caution."
"Okay." Seeing Fang Guoxuan's insistence, Cai Yanwu had no choice but to agree.
Cai Yanwu had also heard the crazy introductions of these little locusts. Although the Nanshan Army had won every battle recently, he would not underestimate the enemy.
Fang Guoxuan then said, "After I withdraw all the troops from the First War Zone, the defense of Kaiyuan and other places will be handed over to your Second War Zone."
"Don't worry, Commander Fang. My Second War Zone will do a good job of defense in the rear." Cai Yanwu assured, patting his chest.
That night, Fang Guoxuan led the remaining four divisions to the front line, and asked the six divisions on the front line to make adjustments and prepare to replace them immediately after the arrival of these four divisions.
