In Jiujiang, an operation aimed at assassinating Okamura Neji has been launched.
In Nanjing, a large net aimed at hunting Xu Rui and the Langya troops has also been opened.
Starting five days ago, the Japanese army imposed martial law on Nanjing. Anyone without a pass issued by the Nanjing Gendarmerie was strictly prohibited from entering or exiting. At the same time, agents from the secret service, led by plainclothes teams, began to conduct door-to-door inspections in the city.
During the investigation, if someone of unknown origin is found, they will be thrown into prison without explanation.
But what disappoints Hatota Hiroshi is that no big shot was caught.
Hatota Hiroshi knew that there were intelligence agents from the Kuomintang Renaissance Society, Qingbai Regiment, and the Qingbai Regiment lurking in Nanjing. He also wanted to use this opportunity to catch all the intelligence agents from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party lurking in Nanjing. But unfortunately, after five days,
The result of the battle was Liao Liao, and almost no one worth mentioning was captured.
What disappoints Hatuda Hiroshi even more is that Xu Rui was not discovered!
During the ventilation, Hatota Kan couldn't help but said to Oluhara Junsi a little discouraged: "Oluhara-san, Xu Rui won't come, right?"
"No." Oluhara Junsi shook his head, "Xu Rui has always kept his word. He said he would assassinate the general within ten days, so he will definitely come within ten days. Therefore, we must not take it lightly.
"
"Hai." Hatota Kan paused and said, "Then I will check again."
Oluhara Shunsei paused and said, "I'll leave it to you, Hatota-san, to guard the outside."
"Hai." Hatoda nodded fiercely. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he remembered something and immediately turned back.
"Oluhara-san, there is something very strange." Hatuda Hiroshi frowned and said, "The insider lurking at the top of the National Government just sent back a piece of information, saying that Xu Rui sent it to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater of the Kuomintang through the Qingbai Regiment.
Xue Yue, the commander and commander of the First Corps, sent a telegram, threatening that a major incident would occur within ten days and asking Xue Yue to prepare for a counterattack."
Xu Rui kept silent, just thinking that Xue Yue would take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, which would ease the situation in the Wuhan battle and also give the Dameishan Military Division more time to rest and recuperate. However, he did not expect that a flaw would be revealed.
"Within ten days? A major event?!" Oluhara Junsi said, "I'm talking about the assassination of His Majesty the General."
"But this seems a bit illogical." Hatota Hiroshi frowned and said, "Although the General is the commander-in-chief of the dispatched force, he is not responsible for frontline command. The real responsibility for frontline command is the division commander of each division.
Even if Xu Rui really kills the general, Xue Yue will be able to take advantage of it? Not necessarily, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Oluhara Junsi waved his hand and said, "If the general is really assassinated by Xu Rui, it will inevitably cause serious damage to the morale and fighting spirit of the imperial army. In turn, the morale of the national army will rise. If
It is entirely possible for Xue Yue to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack and achieve certain results."
After a pause, Oluhara Junsi said coldly: "It's a pity that Xu Rui will never succeed, and Xue Yue will never have a chance to fight back."
Hatota Kan shook his head: "But I always feel that there may be another mystery to this matter."
"Is there another mystery?" Oluhara Junsi said disapprovingly, "What mystery?"
Hatota Kan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I can't explain this at once, but I always feel that something is wrong."
Oluhara Junsi said: "Kitada-san, I'm afraid you are thinking too much. We only need to ensure the safety of the general, and we don't need to worry about anything else."
Hatoda Kanyi thought the same thing. They only need to be responsible for the safety of the General. As for the counterattack of the National Army, it is not something they need to consider. After all, he has reported the news to the General. As for how to adjust the deployment and how to defend against the Xue Yue Corps
The matter of counterattack was beyond his control.
At that moment, Hatota Hiroshi left Youth Garden and returned to the Military Police.

Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua have been lurking on Wushi Mountain for quite a while.
After entering September, the weather became cooler day by day. Because they had been lurking for a long time, a thick layer of dew fell on the bodies of Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua. If they hadn't been wearing canvas cloaks, they would have been a little unbearable.
After all, Grandma Yinhua is almost sixty years old, and she is obviously a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that Granny Yinhua was clearly trying to cheer herself up, Xiao Taohong whispered: "Grandma, how about you take a nap first."
"Girl, my mother-in-law is fine." Granny Yinhua said softly, "On your side, you should get some sleep before the Japanese come. My mother-in-law is watching over here, so you won't miss anything."
Xiao Taohong felt a little moved.
Granny Yinhua, apart from not liking her uncle, was really nice to her.
Xiao Taohong couldn't help but ask Granny Yinhua: "Grandma, can I ask you something?"
Mother-in-law Yinhua easily guessed Xiao Taohong's thoughts and asked, "Do you want to ask why mother-in-law hates Xu Rui so much?"
Xiao Taohong snorted lightly.
Granny Yinhua sighed softly and said softly: "This matter is a long story."
Xiao Taohong said: "Anyway, it's just dawn now, and it's still early for the foundation laying ceremony to start. Mother-in-law, please speak slowly."
Grandma Yinhua's thoughts began to enter memories, and she said faintly: "It started more than forty years ago. At that time, my mother-in-law was still a young girl, just like you."
It turns out that Yinhua's mother-in-law is the daughter of a bandit. She has developed good riding skills and marksmanship since she was a child. She became a famous female hero in Anhui Province at the age of eighteen. The then Feicheng magistrate sent troops several times to suppress her, but Yinhua was killed.
The mother-in-law was defeated, and the prefect of Feicheng found that the military method was not good, so he decided to use the literary method.
The prefect found a handsome young man among the officers and soldiers, and tried his best to sneak into the Niangniang Village.
As a result, this pretty boy really lived up to the high expectations of the Feicheng magistrate and won the heart of Granny Yinhua.
On their wedding night, after falling in love, the pretty boy planned to assassinate Granny Yinhua while she was sleeping. However, because Granny Yinhua happened to turn over and avoid her vitals, the pretty boy failed to assassinate her and ran away.
Suddenly twenty years later, Granny Yinhua married someone else and gave birth to a daughter.
At this time, the pretty boy returned to Anhui and became the governor of Anhui Province. As soon as he arrived in Feicheng, he sent troops to destroy the Niangniang Village. Granny Yinhua's man died in the battle, and Granny Yinhua sent her daughter to sneak into the commander's mansion.
, asking her to avenge her father, but it turned out to be a complete mistake. Her daughter actually fell in love with this pretty boy.
Not only that, her daughter even committed herself to being the pretty boy's concubine.
Granny Yinghua sneaked into the handsome manor overnight, planning to kill her enemy and take away her daughter with her own hands, but she fell into a plot. Although Granny Yinghua single-handedly killed most of the guards in the handsome manor, she herself was seriously injured, which made her even more heartbroken.
Yes, her daughter also died to save her, but her enemy was unscathed.
After finishing speaking, Granny Yinhua added a special sentence at the end: "That pretty boy's name is Ni Sichong. He is as tall, handsome and masculine as the one named Xu, and he is also good at sweet talk to win over his daughter's family, girl.
"My mother-in-law is here, so I listen to her advice and stay away from people named Xu."
But Xiao Taohong pouted her lips and said, "My uncle is not the same as the one named Ni."
Granny Yinhua smiled bitterly and said: "At the beginning, my daughter also swore that the person named Ni was not an unlucky person, and she was willing to be his concubine, but what happened in the end? She died under Ni's gun."
Xiao Taohong said: "My uncle will not be unlucky. He is very kind to the young lady."
When Grandma Yinhua wanted to persuade her again, a team appeared in the field of vision ahead.

Let’s talk about Hatota Hiroshi again. He felt something was wrong when he was in Fanghua Garden.
After returning to the Military Police, Hatota Hiroshi still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember exactly what was wrong until the deputy captain Ushiucha Jun came to report.
Late last night, the gendarmerie arrived at a traffic station in Fuxingshe. Niu Changjun immediately led the gendarmerie, the puppet army and the plainclothes team to encircle and suppress them. However, they came back in the morning to report that the operation failed because the gendarmerie and the puppet army
There was also poor coordination among the plainclothes teams, which resulted in all the agents at the Fuxing Social Communication Station getting away.
Niu Changjun complained: "Captain, the coordination awareness between the puppet army and the plainclothes team is too poor."
"Shut up, it's obviously because you're not a good commander, why are you saying that someone has a poor sense of collaboration? Eh, a sense of collaboration?!" Hatota Hiroshi suddenly paused when he said this, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and then
He shouted, "I understand, I understand, I understand what's wrong, damn it, Commander Okamura, it's Commander Okamura!"
"Commander Okamura?" Ushiucha Jun looked at Hatota Hiroshi with a blank face, confused.
Hatota Hiroshi turned around and walked to his desk, picked up the phone and yelled: "Pick me up to Fang Hua Yuan, quickly, quickly!"
The call was connected a moment later, and Hatota Hiroshi immediately shouted into the phone: "Ogahara-san, is this Ogahara-san?"
On the other end of the phone came the cold voice of Oluhara Junsi: "It's you, Hatota-san. Is there anything urgent?"
Hatota Kan swallowed hard and said in a deep voice: "Oluhara-san, didn't I tell you before that I always felt that Xu Rui's telegram had another mystery? Now I think about it, Xu Rui,
There is indeed another mystery. His real target is not the General, but Commander Okamura, and he wants to assassinate Commander Okamura!"
"Nani, Commander Okamura?" Okahara Junsi asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hatuda Kan said loudly: "The general is not responsible for commanding the frontline troops, so even if Xu Rui assassinates the general, the impact on the frontline troops will be minimal, so Xue Yue's First Corps will not have a chance to counterattack at all.
But if Commander Okamura is assassinated, it will be different."
Okahara Junsi said: "What's different is that Commander Okamura does not assume direct command tasks."
Hatota Hiroshi said urgently: "It is true that Commander Okamura does not bear direct command tasks, but he is responsible for the coordination tasks of the divisions under the Eleventh Army, and no one can replace his position, not even General.
Once Commander Okamura is killed and the Eleventh Army encounters a counterattack by the National Army, each division will immediately fall into the dilemma of fighting on its own."
"Baga." Ogahara Shunsi cursed, immediately hung up the phone, and reported to Hata Shunroku.
