  The Kumamoto Division was defeated again by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, which is undoubtedly a great shame for the Japanese military. The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment had only over 4,000 people, while the Kumamoto Division had over 20,000 people. The strength of the Kumamoto Division was five times that of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, and the equipment was even more disparate. The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment had only five or six machine guns, while the Kumamoto Division had hundreds of light and heavy machine guns. Moreover, there was also an infantry artillery battalion in Kumamoto. If they were defeated by such an opponent, who could swallow this? The highest commander of the Japanese military command, Okamura Ningji, heard that the Kumamoto Division was defeated by such a unit and was furious. He immediately summoned Kumamoto Ichidan to report on the battle situation at the Japanese military command headquarters. Kumamoto Ichidan had no choice but to come to the Japanese military command headquarters to report on the battle situation to Okamura Ningji. As soon as he entered Okamura Ningji's office, he saw that Okamura Ningji's face was iron-gray and his expression was extremely ferocious. Kumamoto Ichidan trembled with fear and gave a military salute to Okamura Ningji, saying: "Commander, I have come specifically to report on the battle situation. Due to my command mistakes, this battle ended in defeat."

  Kumamoto didn't finish speaking, Okamura Yasuji scolded loudly: "Kumamoto, if you were defeated by the Eleventh Division, it would be understandable. Liu Zhen's Eleventh Division is well-trained and has a large number of troops, as well as excellent equipment. But you were defeated by the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade, which is just a mob. It's a shame for our Imperial Japanese Army that you were defeated by this mob. You should have the face to report the battle situation to me? You should commit seppuku like a true warrior of our Empire!" Kumamoto had no choice but to shift all the blame to the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, saying: "Originally, the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade was already in a desperate situation, but unexpectedly, a Chinese cavalry regiment suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind our troops. We were caught off guard and suffered defeat." Kumamoto reported the specific battle situation to Okamura Yasuji, who remained furious. At this time, Yamamoto Taro also came to report the battle situation to Okamura Yasuji. As soon as Yamamoto entered Okamura's office, he felt a huge pressure. Yamamoto said: "Commander, please calm down. The Chinese army indeed has a well-trained and brave cavalry regiment called the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. According to our intelligence, this regiment is stationed in Changfeng County. Here is all the information about the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment."

  Yamamoto handed the war book to Okamura Ningci, which detailed all the information about the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. Okamura Ningci took a look and said: "Even if this Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment is powerful, it's not possible for them to cause your entire army to fail. This is a serious mistake in your command." Yamamoto immediately bowed his head and saluted, saying loudly: "Ah, Commander, this Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment is indeed not to be underestimated. Last time, my Yamamoto Corps was engaged in fierce battle with the 11th Division of the enemy. The 11th Division was already surrounded by us, and it seemed that they were about to be annihilated. At that moment, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment suddenly launched a surprise attack on my Yamamoto Corps from an unknown direction. They not only fought bravely but also had extremely strong mobility. Moreover, their commander is an extraordinary person. He ordered part of the cavalry regiment to launch a surprise attack on our artillery positions and then launched a full-scale offensive against our positions. My Yamamoto Corps was thrown into chaos at that moment. It was then that Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division had a chance to counterattack, which ultimately led to our defeat in the entire battle.

  Ogawa murmured; It's you who are incompetent, but you say how formidable your opponent is. This is a sophistry of your incompetence. Yamamoto Taro said; That's right, I admit that I made some mistakes in command, but if the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment hadn't appeared suddenly, Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division would have been eliminated by me. Also, according to my investigation, it was them who robbed Nakamura Brigade of military supplies last time, and they even killed an entire cavalry regiment of Nakamura Brigade. When Gao Feihu, the deputy commander of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, got married, Nakamura led his troops to launch a night raid on Changfeng County City. Nakamura thought it was a sure win this time, and the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment was doomed to be defeated, but unexpectedly, it was a trap set by the enemy. They were ambushed by the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment halfway, and Nakamura also fled in defeat. Kumamoto said at this time; That's right, this Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment is too formidable, and their commander is exceptionally cunning. The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has become the greatest threat to our Imperial Japanese Army. We must eliminate them at all costs.

  Okamura Yasuji said: "Kumamoto, you're making too much of this. A single Flying Tiger cavalry unit is not worth mobilizing the Imperial Japanese Army." Yamamoto said: "Commander, don't underestimate this Flying Tiger cavalry unit. Their combat strength is extremely powerful and their mobility is unmatched. If they appear in Qinglong today, they may appear hundreds of kilometers away tomorrow. Their actions are very mysterious and swift. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, 'the dragon's head is seen but not its tail.'" Okamura Yasuji was taken aback, his nose almost twisted in anger. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted: "Nonsense! This is just your excuse for incompetence. You're always losing battles, yet you exaggerate the strength of your enemy. Do you have the face to speak before me and shift the blame?"

  Yamamoto Tarō said, "Commander, please calm down. No matter what, the Flying Tigers are indeed very formidable, and we must think of a way to eliminate them." Okamura Yasuji shouted, "Yamamoto, stop shirking your responsibility! Look at your cousin, the renowned Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, who achieved great victories on the Pacific battlefield. Commander Yamamoto led the aircraft carrier fleet in a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, sinking all the American warships anchored there and causing the US Navy to completely lose its combat effectiveness and control of the seas. Commander Yamamoto is the pride of our Great Japanese nation and the hero of the Imperial Japanese Army! You should be like your cousin Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, eliminating all your opponents and becoming a hero of the Empire!" Yamamoto Tarō hastily lowered his head and said, "But what about the Flying Tigers?" Okamura Yasuji thundered, "What? You ask me what to do? I'd rather ask you what to do! Your two divisions combined have over 50,000 men, yet you can't even handle a single regiment of over 1,000 men from the Flying Tigers. As for how to eliminate the Chinese army's Flying Tigers, you think of a way yourself. Don't bother me with this again!"

  Kumamoto Ichi and Yamamoto Taro both shouted loudly; Hey, Yamamoto Taro said; Commander, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's right to say or not. Okamura Yasuji softened his tone and said; What is it? Yamamoto Taro said; No matter what, annihilating the Flying Tigers Cavalry Regiment is our top priority at the moment. I think we can ask the air force to conduct a carpet bombing of Changfeng County, which will not only destroy the Flying Tigers but also flatten the county. Commander, what do you think? Okamura Yasuji thought for a moment and said; This issue can be considered, but I have no authority to mobilize the air force. I must first apply to the Military Command Department, as long as they agree, it's fine. Yamamoto Taro said; Commander, this matter must be done as soon as possible to avoid more trouble. Okamura Yasuji nodded and said; Alright, I understand. I'll call the Military Command Department now, but I don't dare guarantee their agreement.

  Oka Muraji immediately called the Military Command Department to request the dispatch of bombers to bomb Changfeng County, and after much persuasion, the Military Command Department agreed. Oka Muraji said: "Congratulations, Generals, the Military Command Department has agreed. If the Air Force still cannot completely eliminate the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, then everything will depend on you." Yamamoto Taro and Kumamoto Ichi nodded in unison, and Yamamoto Taro said: "As long as Changfeng County is subjected to carpet bombing, even if we can't completely eliminate the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, at least it will cause them some casualties. This will greatly damage the morale of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. Moreover, after Changfeng County is reduced to rubble, they will lose their place of residence and will also face difficulties, which will be a fatal blow to the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment." Oka Muraji nodded and said: "I hope so, but from now on, you must never lose another battle again." Yamamoto Taro and Kumamoto Ichi immediately nodded in agreement. Oka Muraji continued: "Currently, in our occupied areas nearby, the most active and strongest fighting forces are the Eighth Route Army's Guo Yiming Independent Regiment, Chen Guang's 343rd Regiment, and Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division. If we can eliminate these three troops, then our Great Japanese Imperial Army will have nothing to worry about in Jiangnan."

  Yamamoto Tarō said: "Please be at ease, Commander. From now on, the Great Japanese Imperial Army will surely annihilate these Chinese troops." Okamura Yasuji shouted loudly: "Remember, next time if you lose another battle without any other reason, you will commit seppuku with your own blood to wash away the shame of the Great Japanese Empire's army!" Yamamoto Tarō and Kumamoto Iichirō said in unison: "Hey, please be at ease, Commander. As long as we get rid of the Flying Tigers Cavalry Regiment, this arch-nemesis, other troops will not be a threat." Okamura Yasuji said: "Just making poisonous vows is useless. I want to see your actual actions."
