Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Kwantung Army Command!

"Tap Tap!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and all the devil officers in the headquarters looked towards the door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kimura Henzaburo handed a telegram to Umezumi.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, there is news from the informant that Wu Qianli's troops have all returned to Harbin!"

Mei Jinmei narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Since they have returned to Harbin, their next target should probably be the northeast and the entire south."

"What is their current strength?"

Kimura said with a stern face: "It's about 10 people, but they are still recruiting troops. It is conservatively estimated that the total number of troops will exceed 15 in the end!"

As soon as Kimura's words fell, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their faces darkened instantly.

With a strength of 15, the Kwantung Army might not have taken it seriously if it was other troops, but none of them dare to underestimate Wu Qianli now.

A few months ago, their [-] troops were able to fight from the north of the northeast to Harbin, which was enough to shock these devil officers.

Now that 15 troops are in the hands of Wu Qianli, they may actually be able to exert a combat effectiveness of 30.

Turning her head, Umezumi quickly looked at Qin Yansaburo: "Qin Yanjun, when will the troops promised by Your Excellency Tojo arrive?"

Qin Yansanlang said hastily: "I already contacted you yesterday, and the reinforcements are still on the way. It must take a while."

Umezumi took a deep breath: "The reinforcements are still on the way, and it is still unclear when they will arrive. Although the various strongholds have been ordered to defend well, it may be difficult to fully resist the arrival of 15 troops!"

"Ishihara-kun, what's your opinion?"

Ishihara Waner, whose legs were knocking on the table, took off the hat in front of him, and looked at everyone in surprise.

"Is there nothing you can do? Are you willing to listen to the way I say?"

After the previous events, although most of the devils in the headquarters still don't like Ishihara Waner, they have to admit that Ishihara Waner's mind is indeed flexible, and perhaps only Ishihara can compete with Wu Qianli here.

"Ishi Yuan-kun, in order for the empire to firmly control Shandong, I hope you don't care about what happened before."

Shi Yuan chuckled: "I don't have time to argue with idiots."

"However, we are indeed relatively passive in the current situation, and I only have two options!"

"First, gather all the troops, fight with five thousand li fish, and attack Hacheng before they attack the south, and quickly wipe them out in a short time."

As soon as Ishihara finished speaking, Meizumi's face suddenly became serious.

"I'm afraid this won't work. Although our number one enemy is Wu Qianli, there are still many hidden dangers in the Northeast, such as the Anti-Japanese Alliance and bandits!"

"Because of the events in the north, the Chinese people in various places seem to be becoming more active again, and riots may occur at any time. We need troops to suppress them and prevent riots from happening!"

Shi Yuan smiled and said: "Gu Shou Gu Wei, these restrictions will make you suffer all the time, whether it's Yoshio Shinozuka or Yoshio Iwamatsu, you just have too many scruples."

"In this way, there is only the second way, to build fortifications, and move the troops near the stronghold of Harbin back to the rear to ensure the safety of the rear."

"Nani?" Kimura Henzaburo hurriedly walked up to Ishihara Waner: "Your Majesty Ishihara, I disagree with your method!"

"Once the troops in these strongholds are mobilized back to the rear, wouldn't that mean giving up these places to Wu Qianli?"

Shi Yuan gave him a cold look, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's useful to disperse the troops? With an army of 15, no matter which stronghold they attack, it is impossible for them to persist for more than three days."

"Returning the heavy troops to the rear, although we lose part of the territory, at least we can ensure that we will not be wiped out. We can counterattack when the reinforcements arrive, and we can regain all the lost places."

"Is the time rush? It's not clear when our reinforcements will arrive!"

Umezumi frowned and said: "It's too risky for us to lose too many strongholds, and if we have enough territory, the speed of Wuqianli's team will be much faster, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

Shi Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it is impossible to retreat all of them. Each stronghold still needs at least a division of troops to garrison it!"

"If these divisions confront Wu Qianli, I suggest not sticking around and delaying time!"

"The rear mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized to build a group of bunkers and connect the various strongholds together, so that a huge fishing net can be formed to keep Wu Qianli out."

"If Wu Qianli is going to attack by force, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties. When the reinforcements arrive, it will be effortless to use strong troops to deal with the tired ones!"

Umezumi nodded, then turned to look at the other devils: "Everyone, what do you think?"

After a few seconds of silence, Kimura Henzaburo said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the only thing we can do now."

"I think the people in the Northeast can be used to build the bunker group!"

Umezumi nodded: "Yoxi, if that's the case, let's give orders. The troops in each stronghold can't hold on, and report as soon as they encounter Wu Qianli. The strongholds can cooperate with each other to deal with Wu Qianli!"

"Hayi!" All the devil officers responded, then turned and left.

After everyone left, Umezumi walked up to Ishihara.

"Ishi Yuan-kun, I should have listened to you back then, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation!"

Ishihara was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand why Meizumi said soft words at this time.

"Your Excellency Umezumi, if you have anything to say, just say it straight, and you don't need to beat around the bush."

Mei Jinmei coughed and said: "Judging from the fight against Wu Qianli during this period of time, whether it is Kimura-kun or Qin Yanjun, they are not Wu Qianli's opponents."

"Including me, we can't do anything to him at all. In the entire headquarters, you are the only one who can beat Wu Qianli twice."

"Didn't you say before that you always wanted to know Wu Qianli? I want to send you to the front this time."

Shi Yuan stood up abruptly: "You mean you are willing to give me military power?"

Shi Yuan was dumbfounded. As the chief of staff of a general, he could have had his own troops, at least he could have mobilized the Niudao Manshi Regiment who came from Northwest Shanxi together.

But because of suspicion, the Ushido manshituan was transferred to the rear, which left him with no soldiers to use, so he could only make suggestions!

"Now only you can deal with Wu Qianli, I am willing to give you military power!"

"I will be transferred back to the Udo Island Division in two days. I hope you can take on this important task!"

Ishihara laughed: "Don't worry, as long as I have the military power in my hand, it will be easy to deal with Wu Qianli, but just one Ushidoman division is not enough, at least give me the strength of four divisions when the reinforcements arrive!"

Umezumi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily!
