At the same time that Gu Shutong sent a telegram to Wuhan Xingying, Shunroku Hata also sent a telegram to Shunsi Okahara.
After receiving the telegram, Shunsi Okahara hurried from the training camp to the headquarters, only to find that there was already a guest in Shunroku Hata's office.
Just as Ogawara Shunsi was about to evade, Hata Shunroku's adjutant came forward with a smile and said: "Your Excellency Colonel, Your Excellency the General has specifically given instructions. If you come, you don't need to ask for permission and can go in directly."
Ogawara Shunmi was not polite to Hata Shunroku's adjutant. He nodded slightly, and then went straight into Hata Shunroku's office with a saber in hand.
As soon as he walked into the office, Ogawara Shunsi saw Hata Shunroku sitting on the floor with a Japanese man wearing a black kimono. The two were chatting happily.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Shunroku Hata and the Japanese turned their heads to look over.
Seeing that Shunsi Ogahara had arrived, Shunroku Hata quickly stood up and greeted with a smile: "Ogahara-san, Abe-san and I were talking about you just now. I didn't expect you to be here soon. What a coincidence. Haha."
The Japanese named Abe also stood up and said with a smile: "This is in accordance with Gu Zhi's saying, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there, haha."
Seeing the Japanese man in kimono stand up, Okahara Junsi couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
The Japanese man didn't feel anything when he was sitting just now. When he stood up, Junsi Ogawara realized that this man was at least over 1.9 meters tall. People with such a height are rare in Japan, and this man
With wide shoulders and narrow hips, you can tell at a glance that he is a martial artist.
Shunroku Hata smiled and said to Shunsi Okahara: "Ogahara-san, let me introduce to you. This is a close disciple of the Imperial Judo Grandmaster Kano Jigoro, the only tenth-dan Grandmaster in the Imperial Judo world, Master Abe Abe.
"
Oluhara Junsi paused slightly and said hello: "Master Abe."
"Okahara-san, just call me Abe." Abe's resolute figure put a heavy pressure on people, but his words were very easy-going, "Maybe you and I will still serve the empire together in the future."
Ogahara Shunji then turned his attention to Hata Shunroku. He still didn’t know why Hata Shunroku called him back specifically. Is it just to let him meet this Abe Gosei? In other words, the general intends to hire this Abe Gossip as his special officer.
The instructor of the battle brigade?
It really made Shunsi Ogawara guess. The reason why Shunroku Hata called Shunsi Ogawara back from the special forces training camp at the foot of Purple Gold Mountain was to let him meet Gosei Abe, because Abe Gossip made it clear that he wanted to join the team.
Shunroku Hata, the special forces unit of Shunshi Kahara, also intends to let Takeshi Abe be the combat instructor of the special forces.
Facing Ogahara Junsi's inquiring gaze, Hata Shunroku said: "Ogahara-san, Abe-san is the only tenth-dan grandmaster in the empire's judo world. His attainments in judo are unquestionable. Therefore, I hope Abe-san can give
Your special forces provide some help..."
Hearing this, Oluhara Junsi immediately frowned.
Shunmi Okahara was very dissatisfied with Shunroku Hata's remarks.
In his opinion, judo is just a routine for strengthening the body. It may be helpful in fighting, but it is limited. What the special forces need to learn is how to kill someone in the shortest time.
This is the real fighting art, which is fundamentally different from physical training such as judo.
However, before Ogawara Shunsi could refuse, Abe took the initiative and interrupted Hata Shunroku.
"General, I think you misunderstood." Abe interrupted Hata Shunroku and said, "I want to join Ogawara-san's special forces, not as an instructor to teach judo to everyone, but just as a
As an ordinary soldier, he joined the special forces to participate in the battle."
"Nani?" Shunroku Hata was surprised when he heard this, "You want to join the special forces as an ordinary soldier?"
"Hai." Abe said resolutely, "I just want to join the special forces as an ordinary soldier."
However, Ogahara Junsi is still a little ungrateful, because in his opinion, Abe Takeshi is already a social celebrity. If a celebrity like this joins the special operations team, it will invisibly put pressure on the other team members. If Abe Takeshi is in
Spreading inappropriate remarks in the team will also affect the cohesion of the team.
At that moment, Shikahara Junsi asked: "Abe-san, can I know the reason?"
Abe took out a photo from his sleeve and handed it to Shunsi Okahara.
Okahara Junsi took a look at the photo, and found that it was a cavalry second lieutenant, and he looked vaguely familiar. Okahara Junsi had a good memory, and he was sure that he had seen this second lieutenant.
At that moment, Oluhara Junsi returned the photo to Abe Goichi and said, "I think I have seen it before."
Abe put away the photo resolutely and solemnly, and said: "Okahara-san may have actually seen him, because my brother once served in the cavalry regiment directly under the Hamura detachment before his death."
"Hamura detachment?" Ogawara Junsi said, "I remembered, I had a chance encounter with my brother before the Hamura detachment set off. His name is Abe Toshiyuki, right?"
Abe said resolutely: "Yes, Okahara-san has a really good memory."
Oluhara Junsi sighed and said: "Unfortunately, my brother and Mr. Hamura stepped into the trap of the Dameishan Group, and the jade was shattered on the spot."
"That's why I came to China." A look of ferocity flashed across Abe's resolute face, and he said, "I want all the Chinese people who participated in the murder of my brother to die!"
Okahara Junsi nodded and said: "Abe-san, I can understand your mood, but I must first state that my special operations brigade is not just for anyone who wants to enter. Even you, Abe-san, must
Accept the assessment, I want to know, can you accept the assessment?"
"Okay." Abe said firmly and solemnly, "I can accept the assessment."
At this time, Hata Shunroku's adjutant suddenly opened the door and walked in, reporting: "Your Excellency, the Inaba Division, there is an urgent call."
Shunroku Hata confessed to Ogawara Shunsi and Abe Takeda, then left the office and hurried to the war room.
As soon as they entered the war room, Tsukada went forward and said: "Your Excellency, General, the Inaba Division has just sent back an emergency message from the front line, saying that it has entered near Feidong. However, because the Chinese army dug up the Fei River embankment,
, causing the river to overflow and submerge the roads east of Feihe River, making it impossible for heavy equipment to move in, so the attack on the Feidong stronghold was not smooth."
After a slight pause, Tsukada continued: "Also, the Kikuchi Brigade was also stubbornly blocked by the New Fourth Army of China near Chaoxian County. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, they could not make any progress. From the current point of view, the progress of both armies is very unsatisfactory.
, Your Excellency, General, it seems that it is necessary for us to inform the northbound cluster in advance so that they can make preparations to break out eastward."
"Breaking through to the east?" Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "Is that so?"
Ordering the northbound cluster to break out eastward is an emergency plan in the most extreme situation.
The reason why they go east, not south or north, is because the National Army has assembled heavy troops in both directions. The group heading north will be attacked head-on by the National Army no matter whether it goes south or north. Only the National Army in the east will be attacked head-on.
The military strength is slightly weaker.
The problem is that once the northward cluster is ordered to break out eastward, it means that the Central China Front's efforts to open up the Feidong Highway have completely failed. But now the Inaba Division has just arrived in Feidong, and the Second Feicheng War has just begun. Tsukada
Is it premature to make such a pessimistic prediction?
Tsukada sighed and said: "General, why am I willing to make such a prediction? However, considering that our opponent this time is Xu Rui, we must prepare for the worst."
"Xu Rui?" Shunroku Hata was shocked when he heard this and said, "Is this person really that powerful?"
"Hai." Tsukada nodded heavily and said, "It's hard to overestimate Xu Rui."
"Okay, then let's send a telegram to the group heading north to prepare for a breakout to the east. However, Tsukada-san, we still need to do our best." Shunroku Hata finally accepted Tsukada's suggestion because he remembered
He replaced his predecessor, Sugi Sugimoto. Sugisu Yuan suffered a tragic defeat because he didn’t pay much attention to Tsukada Gong’s opinions.
"Also." Shunroku Hata paused for a moment, then continued, "Tell the Kikuchi Brigade again, asking them to defeat the enemy at all costs. They must arrive at Feicheng before dark tomorrow, and then coordinate with the Inaba Division.
Capture Feicheng in the shortest time and open the Feiwu Highway."
"Hai." Tsukada nodded heavily and turned around.
(Dividing line)
The four detachments have been fighting fiercely with the Kikuchi Brigade in Chaoxian County for two days and nights.
Xiao Huadong hurriedly walked into the war room and said to Gao Hanting who was looking at the map: "Commander, the Ninth Regiment reported that the Kikuchi Brigade has directly invested an infantry brigade this time. Looking at this posture, this old devil, Kikuchi Mei, is really anxious. He
He is planning to fight us for his life."
Gao Hanting stared at the map for a long time without saying a word, and then asked: "What are the casualties of the Ninth Regiment?"
"The casualties are huge!" Xiao Huadong said solemnly, "The 1st and 2nd Battalions have already suffered more than half of their casualties, and the 3rd Battalion has been almost crippled. Just now Cao Fu complained to me on the phone. If this continues, their 9th Regiment will
The whole group will fight for it."
When Gao Hanting heard this, his facial muscles twitched violently.
In the battle at Feicheng, the four detachments won easily, which also gave Gao Hanting the illusion that the Japanese's combat effectiveness was no more than this. So when Kikuchi's brigade marched northward from Wuhu, Gao Hanting did not say anything, but he held his breath in his heart.
Prepare for a fierce fight with the Japanese.
But as soon as the war started, Gao Hanting discovered that his estimate was seriously wrong!
Only two days after the war started, one of his fully-staffed main regiments was almost crippled, and this was because the Japanese were in a hurry to go to Feicheng and did not seriously fight with their four teams. If the Kikuchi Brigade really
After opening up their stance and fighting against the four teams, Gao Hanting was very suspicious that the casualties of the Ninth Regiment would be much greater than they were now.
At this time, Gao Hanting was in a dilemma.
Let's keep fighting, the casualties of the troops will be too great, but if we stop here, I always feel a little unwilling.
Undecided, Gao Hanting asked Xiao Huadong, "Political Commissar, what do you think? Should we continue to fight, or should we let the enemy pass and then deal with their rear-end troops?"
Xiao Huadong sighed and said: "Commander, otherwise we should give in."
Gao Hanting was originally in a dilemma, but he immediately said: "Okay, let's give in."
