Anding County is an important county town on the Zhengtai Line.

The Zhengtai Line is the abbreviation of the Zhengtai Railway. It was built in 1904 and is the current Shitai Railway. From Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, it is named after its original starting point, Zhengding, Hebei.

The Zhengtai Railway is the earliest railway in Shanxi Province. It was originally planned to be built from Liulin Fort in Zhengding County, Hebei Province to Taiyuan, hence the name.

Later, due to the difficulty in building a bridge through the Hutuo River, it was built in Shijiazhuang, so it is also called the Shitai Railway.

Usually, there was a military police squadron stationed in Anding County, with about 200 people. There was also a security brigade adapted from the county security regiment, with a puppet army of more than 800.

The highest commander was Colonel Noguchi Masagawa, who participated in the Taierzhuang Battle, was injured and retired to the second line, and was transferred to serve as the highest commander of Anding County.

A few days ago, the Fifth Infantry Brigade of the Sakata United of the Fourth Brigade transferred two Japanese troops from the Japanese to assist Noguchi Masakawa in the sweeping.

At this moment, more than a thousand people were advancing in a mighty manner. The puppet troops of the guards were in front of the thunder, the Japanese troops of two squadrons were pressing the formation, and the military police squad brought by Noguchi Masakawa was guarding them tightly.

Major Ichian Nakano is the captain of the Fifth Infantry Team and a traditional Japanese soldier with the spirit of Bushido.

He is not tall, but he looks very solid, a bit like a melon. A small handful of sanitary beards dotted above his thick lips, adding a bit of funnyness.

His eyes swept against the colonel, and his brows were almost frowning, and the contempt in his eyes could not be concealed.

Indeed, Noguchi Masakawa really damaged the majesty of the imperial soldiers. His waist was so thick that he could not see his feet. He leaned on the horse's back, like a pig who learned to ride a horse.

Kazuan Nakano remembered that there was an old saying in China that laziness said that it was too much to grind the shit on the lazy donkey. I didn’t believe it before, but the colonel pulled the shit three times a morning, so he forced him to re-recognize this sentence.

He has been dragged down for several days, and the progress of the troops' sweep has been far surpassed by other friendly and neighboring troops.

For Ichian Nakano, who is eager to make contributions, this is committing a crime.

“Stop moving forward.”

The troops stopped to rest again.

"Is it to eat or shit?" Nakano Ichia guessed to himself.

Soon, the answer was also given. Both shit and eat, first and then eat.

He really couldn't praise Colonel Noguchi's taste. The donkey meat sashimi on the first day, the donkey tendons on the second day, the donkey eggs on the third day, and the donkey waist.

Every time you are inseparable from donkeys.

Sometimes he thought, but fortunately it was autumn and winter, the temperature was low, and raw meat was easy to preserve.

Otherwise, when Colonel Noguchi was fighting, he would have to lead a few donkeys and eat as soon as he killed them to satisfy his appetite.

In fact, what the colonel eats has nothing to do with him, and it doesn’t matter to him every day to have diarrhea.

However, it is not enough to let the sweeping team fall behind.

It was already the fourth day. In three days, we swept and walked fifty miles, and it was like a turtle moving.

The people in the villages along the way ran away like rabbits after receiving the news.

It doesn't matter if you grab less supplies. Anyway, the Chinese people in the village have no money to grab them except food, and they don't like them either.

The point is that at such a slow speed, if you can catch up with the Eighth Route Army, then there will be a ghost.

If I want to make meritorious service and get promoted, I must not waste this way. He must catch up with the Eighth Route Army and fight a beautiful battle in order to get what he desires.

"Ah, it's comfortable." After finishing the work in the wild, Colonel Noguchi lifted his pants and walked out with a comfortable look on his face.

"I don't know, I thought you just finished eating." Ichia Nakano complained.

Then, he changed into a stiff smile and greeted him: "Your Excellency Colonel, is it okay?"

"Comfortable." Noguchi Masakawa rubbed his round belly, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Nakano, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

"I'd delay your time a little, I want to make a small suggestion." Nakano Ichian gestured with two close fingers, further explaining that his suggestion was small.

Japan is a country with strict hierarchy, and even more so in the army. The superiors can corporally punish subordinates at will, but subordinates cannot resist.

It is absolutely no slander to be a senior official to kill people.

Therefore, even though he looked down on Noguchi Masakawa in his heart, he even often complained about him.

When he really arrived in front of the colonel, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and his son meeting a father, pretending to be a grandson with a very respectful attitude.

"Tell me your little advice." Noguchi Masakawa nodded and looked at it with a look of calmness.

"Girl Colonel, our sweeping progress has been far behind by other troops. Because we have caused loopholes in the encirclement, Major General Miyao sent an inquiry.

I think the Eighth Route Army is small and vulnerable. We can complete the task without so many people.

It is better to divide the troops into two groups, and I will lead a unit to advance quickly and sweep the storm. Your Excellency the Colonel will postpone it to ensure the logistics of our army."

Nakano Ichian suggested carefully that he looked like a grandson.

But if the Colonel knew that the so-called inquiry was made up by him without authorization, he would not believe him.

But Noguchi Masakawa is not aware of this matter, and Major General Miyao's name is still very scary.

If the Eighth Route Army escaped from the gap due to their delay, there would probably be a few big mouths.

Moreover, the Major's proposal was very attractive. Noguchi Masakawa was unwilling to do such a chore. Since someone was willing to do it, he couldn't ask for it.

After a little thought, he spoke, "Kun Nakano, your suggestions are also what I want to say.

Now I appoint you as the commander of the Sweeping Forward Forces, leading your officers and soldiers, and a squadron of the Imperial Army to open the way forward."

"Yes, Colonel." Nakano Ichiaki received the order happily.

Finally, I was able to leave this lazy colonel and lead the soldiers of the headquarters to make achievements.

As for the Imperial Army in a squadron, his combat effectiveness was not taken seriously by him at all. At most, he would take mines to block guns and do some miscellaneous work.

"Captain, the captain is not good. Our guard team is going to rush to land mines and block the gun again."

Huang Jinbiao, the captain of the security team under Noguchi Masakawa, heard this bolt from the blue and did not breathe a sigh of relief, and almost choked to death by Mantou.

It was not until the adjutant explained the order clearly that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn, you almost choked to death. Fortunately, I don't have to go up and block the gun."

The adjutant widened his eyes, as if asking, "Can you let me go?"

"It's not that you want to block the gun. He just wants a squadron and let Sun Erqing, the third squadron, take people there."

Huang Jinbiao reminded him with concern: "Remember, let the brothers in the Third Squadron be smarter, don't lose your life stupidly."

"I understand, brother. We brothers all understand that no one will work stupidly." The adjutant took the order and went down to convey the order.
