By this time, the fire that had spread to almost the entire urban area of Shanghai had already been extinguished.
To be honest, Xu Rui really planned to burn the entire Shanghai to scorched earth with a fire. He would rather Shanghai be reduced to scorched earth than become a golden chicken laying eggs in the hands of the Japanese. However, it is very regrettable that after the fire,
After four days of burning, heavy rain fell in and around Shanghai, extinguishing the fire.
Therefore, Shanghai Beach did not completely turn into a scorched earth as Xu Rui wished.
But even so, the fire still caused heavy losses to Shanghai.
When Shun Tada, commander of the Condemnation Army in Central China and commander of the 12th Army, surrounded by Chief of Staff Takazo Iinuma and more than a dozen officers, appeared in the central area of the concession, what appeared in front of him was a dilapidated ruins.
Looking around, there is no complete building to be found in the once prosperous central area of the concession.
In particular, the Chinachem Building was reduced to rubble.
Tada Shun held the saber in his hand and said with emotion: "I remember the first time I set foot in Shanghai more than forty years ago. At that time, I was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. I was attracted by the prosperity of Shanghai and the
I was shocked by the bustling crowds. I never thought there could be such a prosperous city in the world."
After a pause at this point, Tada Shun continued: "But now, what is in front of me is not only ruins, but ruins. The prosperity of the past is no longer there. More than 50% of the buildings in the concession have been damaged, and the damage to the buildings in Huajie is even worse."
Seriously, it will take at least ten years for Shanghai to return to its former glory."
Iinuma Takazo who was accompanying him didn't feel so much. He was only concerned about Xu Rui's whereabouts.
Iinuma Takazo turned around and said to the woman standing behind him: "Miss Inoue, I leave it to you to hunt down Xu Rui and the remaining members of Langya!"
The eyes of Shun Tada and the dozen or so officers accompanying him immediately fell on the woman.
This woman is dressed in white, with a white gauze covering her face, and a graceful figure. She is simply the best.
This woman is none other than Chiyoko Inoue, who just flew to Shanghai from the Far East.
Shortly after Oluhara Junsi was defeated at Dameishan, Tojo Hideki issued an order to mobilize Chiyoko Inoue and the two special operations squadrons led by her to the Songhu battlefield to deal with Xu Rui. After the order was issued, Ishihara Wanji was still
We delayed it for more than a week with excuses, and then finally we were willing to let him go.
Therefore, Chiyoko Inoue arrived at the Songhu battlefield yesterday.
Then today, at the invitation of Shun Tada, I entered the ruins of Shanghai city to help find people.
Moreover, to be honest, if it were not for the protection of Chiyoko Inoue and two special operations squadrons, Shun Tada would not dare to enter the urban ruins. Who knows whether Xu Rui and the people from the Langya Brigade are dead or alive? What if they
He's still alive and hiding somewhere. Isn't he going to die when he enters the city? Langya's marksmanship is really impressive.
In an instant, the eyes of Shun Tada and a dozen officers fell on Chiyoko Inoue.
Tada Shun's eyes are also a little burning. This woman Chiyoko Inoue is really attractive, and not only is this woman fair and beautiful, but she is also a legendary shadow ninja! If only he could ride like this once in his life
Women are willing to lose twenty years of their life, but unfortunately it can only be a fantasy.
Because not even His Majesty the Emperor can take her as a concubine.
Chiyoko Inoue turned a blind eye to the burning gazes of the men around her, because she had long been used to it. It would be strange if the men around her stopped looking at her like this.
Chiyoko Inoue ignored the man's gaze, turned to look at Mai Asahina with concerned eyes, and asked softly: "Xiao Mai, are you really okay?"
Mai Asahina was seriously injured in the previous raid on downtown Shanghai, but it was precisely because of this injury that she did not participate in the subsequent Battle of Dameishan, and thus escaped by accident.
, Otherwise, she will definitely die tragically at the hands of Xu Rui like her sister Asahina Kiyoshi.
By this time, Asahina Mai's injuries had basically recovered, but her body was still a little weak.
"Hai." Asahina Mai paused slightly and said respectfully, "Village Chief, I have no problem."
"Yoshi." Chiyoko Inoue nodded, and then said, "Then, let's start the search."
"Hai!" Mai Asahina paused again, then turned around, followed by Chiyoko Inoue, and walked to both ends along the North Tibet Road ruins. However, the two of them were not simply walking, but using their eyes and ears while walking.
, nose and even a mysterious sixth sense, repeatedly searching the surrounding ruins.
As mentioned before, the Asahina sisters all have the secret technique of tracking. Their secret technique of tracking was taught by Chiyoko Inoue, so Chiyoko Inoue also knows the secret technique of tracking, and her attainments are even more advanced.
After a long time, Chiyoko Inoue returned to the starting point first, followed by Mai Asahina.
Tada Shun asked nervously: "How is it, Miss Inoue, have you found the whereabouts of Langya?"
"No." Chiyoko Inoue shook her head and said regretfully, "Just now, Xiao Wu and I have repeatedly searched the entire concession area, but we didn't find any living things!"
"Nani? Still didn't find it." Shun Tada said disappointedly.
At this time, Tada Shun and Iinuma Takazo were a little doubtful. These two old Japanese had never fought side by side with the Ogahara Special Forces Brigade, so they did not have enough understanding of the tracking secrets of Chiyoko Inoue and Mai Asahina. At first, they
The two of them were still doubtful, and now they are even more disbelieving.
However, these two old devils were still restrained.
The dozen or so officers accompanying him couldn't help but gossip.
"The central area of the concession is already the last unsearched area."
"However, Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang troops are still missing."
"Did Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang troops be burned to ashes?"
"It's ridiculous. You said there is some secret tracking technique that can help you find people, but you ended up finding this?"
"That is, if you want me to say that these two women are not trustworthy, it is better to send more search teams quickly and conduct a blanket search across the entire city of Shanghai. This is the right way."
"Souga, how capable can two women be?"
"Baga, you still have some ability, but it's just in bed."
The words of the dozen or so accompanying officers began to become more and more explicit and ugly.
Mai Asahina's pretty face immediately darkened, but Chiyoko Inoue kept smiling, as if she didn't hear these provocative and insulting joking words.
In fact, Chiyoko Inoue has long been accustomed to men's doubts and ridicules.
Chiyoko Inoue said to Shun Tada: "Commander, if you don't believe it, even if you send a search team to conduct a comprehensive search of Shanghai city, I can tell you responsibly that in the entire city, except for rats, you will not
We may find other living creatures, Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang troops are not here!"
Iinuma Takazo frowned and said, "Miss Inoue, is it possible that she was really burned to death?"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff." Inoue Chiyoko turned her beautiful eyes to Iinuma Takazo and said with a smile, "What I just said is very clear. Xu Rui and his wolf fangs are not here!" Inoue Chiyoko said with a smile.
In other words, even if Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang were burned to ashes, they would be able to find them as long as they were still in Shanghai.
Iinuma Takazo's face changed slightly. From Inoue Chiyoyuki's words, he heard a subtle coldness. It was obvious that he had offended her. When he thought of the beautiful woman in front of him, she was an animal.
He shuddered at the shadow ninja who could kill someone with just a twitch of his little finger.
At that moment, Iinuma Takazo said: "Miss Inoue, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to say is it possible?"
Chiyoko Inoue's tone was still gentle: "Then let me tell you now, this is absolutely impossible."
Saying this, Chiyoko Inoue is still confident. Because of the change of location, if she and her two special operations squadrons were trapped in Shanghai at that time, she would have at least three or four ways to lead these two special operations squadrons.
Evacuate Shanghai without anyone noticing. Since she can do it, Xu Rui can also do it if nothing happens.
Jun Tada frowned and said: "In other words, Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang troops are still allowed to escape. However, where will they go? According to our informant report, they did not escape back to their home base of Dameishan! Moreover, where will they go?
Judging from the feedback from the New Fourth Army, Xu Rui and Langya should have all been killed."
This is also where Tada Shun and Iinuma Takanazou are puzzled.
If Xu Rui and Langya's troops were not burned to death, but had fled Shanghai, why did the New Fourth Army spread the word that they had been killed?
Iinuma Takazo said: "Could it be said that the New Fourth Army is hiding something?"
"This is what I'm worried about." Chiyoko Inoue frowned slightly and said, "Intelligence shows that Xu Rui has never been a person willing to suffer losses. This time he not only lost his beloved, but also lost his beloved.
He lost his territory, and with his character, it would be unbelievable if he didn't take crazy revenge."
Jun Tada frowned and said: "Although Xu Rui lost his beloved, didn't he also kill Oluhara-kun? As for Shanghai, the empire and the imperial army did not take advantage of it, so why should he be dissatisfied?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is just our logic." Chiyoko Inoue said, "It is not his logic."
"Xu Rui's logic?" Takazo Iinuma said, "According to his logic, how can he take revenge?"
Chiyoko Inoue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said: "Although I have not directly fought with Xu Rui, based on Okahara-kun's usual chats and some intelligence, it can be clearly discovered that this person has a character that is bound to retaliate.
So he is very likely to sneak to Tokyo to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Nani? Sneak into Tokyo to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor?"
Tada Shun and Iinuma Takazo's expressions suddenly changed.
