The six and a half divisions of the Eleventh Army have all entered the attack position. As soon as the general offensive time comes, these six divisions will launch a centripetal attack on Wuhan from four directions at the same time. There are still ten minutes before the general offensive time in the early morning.
For a few hours, Okamura Neji, the chief of staff of the Eleventh Army, had nothing to do.
Because everything that can be thought of has been thought of, and it is useless to think of the unexpected now, because the general offensive order has been issued and the combat operation is already on the string.
Therefore, Okamura Neji simply went to Zhujiageng to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Takeno Wagyu Breeding Farm.
The reason is also high-sounding. As the commander of the 11th Army of the Central China Condemnation Army, it is also his duty to care about the Japanese under his control. Of course, few people know that Okamura Neji went to Zhujiageng this time.
, but it was to dispel Takenoda Iso’s doubts and let him plant opium boldly.
However, the Chief of Staff of the Eleventh Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, did not go to Zhu Genggen.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the headquarters' phone suddenly rang.
Yoshimoto Sadao picked up the microphone and shouted into the microphone: "Mashi Mashi?"
An anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Mashi Mashi, is this Okamura-san?"
As soon as Yoshimoto Sadah heard the voice of Shunroku Hata on the other side of the phone, he immediately stood up to attention, nodded and responded: "Your Excellency, the Commander, you have just gone out."
"Going out?" asked Shunroku Hata, "What did he do?"
Yoshimoto Teiichi said: "Today, the foundation stone of a Wagyu cattle farm opened by Imperial expatriates was laid. Your Excellency, the Commander, was invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony."
"Wagyu farm foundation laying ceremony?" Shunroku Hata said angrily, "Baga, get him back immediately!"
Before Yoshimoto Teiichi could ask, Shunroku Hata then roared: "According to reliable information, Xu Rui has taken his Wolf Fang troops to Jiujiang. Okamura-san is in danger, get him back quickly!
"
"Hai!" Upon hearing this, Yoshimoto was almost scared to death, and immediately hung up the phone with a heavy pause.
After hanging up the phone, Yoshimoto Teiichi suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. In just a moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat. As the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree passed through Damei Mountain and wiped out the 10th Division.
After the battle of the regiment, Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang have gained a great reputation. Looking at the entire Central China Condemnation Army, no one dares to look down upon them anymore.
This time Commander Okamura participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of Takeno Breeding Farm, it may be a trap!
Even if this is not a trap, Commander Okamura must be brought back as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected events!
Yoshimoto Sadao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his head and shouted: "Order, the security forces must assemble urgently!"
Immediately afterwards, a sharp whistle sounded in the compound of the Eleventh Army Headquarters. After a few seconds, groups of fully armed Japanese soldiers surged out of the barracks. After a while, they parked in
The armored fighting vehicles, trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles in the parking lot started to move one after another.
By the time Yoshimoto Seiichi came out of the headquarters, the Japs from the two squadrons had already assembled.
"Get in the car!" Yoshimoto Seiichi waved his hand violently, and the Japanese who were standing in line got on the car one after another. Yoshimoto Seiichi also bent down and got into the only Vickers tank in the convoy, and then fiercely shouted at the driver.
He waved his hand and shouted, "Open the way!"
The driver stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and the Vickers tank's exhaust pipe spurted out a puff of black smoke, and then drove forward with a bang, followed by trucks and three-wheelers.
Coming up, about half of the Japs from the two squadrons got on the truck, and there was only one car left without a truck to ride on, so they had to run to follow.

On Wushi Mountain, from the sniper point of Xiao Taohong and Yinhua Granny, one could clearly see the mighty convoy approaching on the road ahead. This convoy consisted of one armored fighting vehicle, four load-carrying trucks and six side vehicles.
Three-wheeled motorcycles, including six side-mounted three-wheeled motorcycles at the head, an armored fighting vehicle in the middle, and four heavy-duty trucks at the back.
While adjusting the magnification of the telescope, Xiao Taohong said: "Mother-in-law, for such a big battle, it's probably an old devil like Okamura Neji." Then she said with a sweet smile, "My uncle is really amazing, just give me some advice.
The trick, that old devil Okamura Neji fell for it, hee hee hee."
Granny Yinhua rolled her eyes after hearing this.
That's because Okamura Neji is too stupid, not because Xu Rui is awesome.
As he spoke, the entire convoy had stopped by the road and would not go any further because there was no road further ahead. If you wanted to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, you had to walk to the site five hundred meters away.
This is also a process that Xu Rui deliberately arranged in order to keep Neji Okamura away from the entire team.
When the convoy stopped, the door of the armored fighting vehicle did not open immediately. Instead, the Japs on the four trucks got out first and quickly spread out, conducting a detailed carpet-like search within a radius of 500 meters around the foundation laying site.
, after ensuring safety, the door of the armored vehicle finally opened, and then a Japanese officer walked out first.
Granny Yinhua immediately asked: "Xiao Taohong, have you seen what this devil looks like?"
Xiao Taohong adjusted the focus, but she could not clearly see the Japs face. She shook her head and said: "I can't see clearly, the distance is still a bit far, but it shouldn't be Okamura Neji, because Okamura Neji wears glasses, this little Japs
But he’s not wearing glasses, so he’s probably Okamura Neji’s adjutant or orderly.”
Granny Yinhua released her right index finger from the trigger again.
Then, another Japanese soldier got off the armored vehicle.
Xiao Taohong immediately shouted: "He has glasses. This little devil has glasses. He should be Okamura Neji!"
"It's really here!" Granny Yinhua immediately cheered up and whispered, "Measure the distance, wind speed and wind direction."
Xiao Taohong's telescope does not have a distance measuring function. She immediately put down the telescope, straightened her right arm and raised her thumb. After selecting the reference frame, she first closed her left eye, then her right eye, and then estimated the distance based on the reference frame. It was about
1,500 meters, and then took out a small piece of cotton wool from his arms and threw it into the air, and measured the wind speed and direction based on the flying cotton wool.
Soon, Xiao Taohong whispered: "The distance is 1,500 meters, the wind speed is 10 meters per second, the wind direction is west-northwest, and the wind speed changes greatly, so we do not have the conditions for sniping."
Grandma Yinhua released her fingers again.

Almost at the same time, Xu Rui, who was standing on the sidelines of the groundbreaking ceremony, also saw Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neiji looks even thinner than in the photo, and his military uniform is also baggy. He does not have the image he should have as a commander-in-chief of a group army. However, Xu Rui knows very well that the more he looks like this, he will look sloppy and unkempt.
The more dangerous the guys are, the guys who always take care of their personal image meticulously may not necessarily be powerful.
At this time, Okamura Neji, who had just got off the armored vehicle, was still 500 meters away from the foundation laying site.
Xu Rui touched the Browning pistol hidden on his lower back. Five hundred meters away, no matter how good his marksmanship was, he would not be able to kill the target with a Browning pistol!
Therefore, we must find a way to get close to Okamura Neji.
Xu Rui may not necessarily kill Okamura Neji with his own hands, but it is necessary to get close to Okamura Neji as early as possible to ensure that Okamura Neji is under his control. Xu Rui has enough confidence, as long as he gets close to him
If Neji Okamura is within 50 meters, then even Shunsi Ogawara's special operations team can't save his life.
At that moment, Xu Rui turned his head and said to Takenoda Iso: "Takeye-san, shall we welcome the Commander?"
"Hai." Takenoda Iso also felt that they should indeed greet Okamura Neji, and immediately turned around and made an invitation gesture to the pseudo-government officials standing beside him.
A group of pseudo-government officials repeatedly gave in, insisting on letting Takenodaji and Xu Rui go to the front.
Takenodaji no longer showed humility and took the lead, followed closely by Xu Rui, and then the officials of the puppet government.
However, the group of people walked less than fifty meters forward when they were stopped by the Japanese soldiers who were on guard in front. They were not the military police sent to maintain order before, but the guards who had just arrived with Okamura Neji. Obviously
, these guards did not intend to let Takenoda Iso and others go to greet them, but only allowed them to wait where they were.
Xu Rui had no choice but to wait patiently.
Xu Rui estimated that if there was a killing spree at this time, the chance of killing Okamura Neji would never exceed 10%, but he himself would definitely die! Because there is only Wushi Mountain within a kilometer nearby.
The hillocks and the rest are all open areas without cover. If the operation fails, he will definitely be beaten into a sieve by the little devils.
This place was originally chosen to ensure that Okamura Neji would have no way to escape if he entered the trap.
But if Xu Rui personally carries out the assassination, this will also become Xu Rui's end!
Five hundred meters ahead, Okamura Neji strode forward surrounded by more than a dozen guards.
Okamura Neiji did not realize at all that what was waiting for him ahead was a death trap. At this time, Okamura Neiji regarded going out to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony as an outing to relieve the fatigue caused by continuous work.
Mentally, in the past five days, he was really exhausted from formulating the battle plan for the general offensive.
Okamura Neji actually walked not slowly, but in Xu Rui's eyes, he walked as slowly as a snail.
Under Xu Rui's expectant gaze, Okamura Neji walked towards the foundation laying site step by step. The distance was also shortening little by little, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters... Soon, Okamura Neji walked towards the foundation laying site.
There are already less than 200 meters away from Xu Rui. As long as he goes forward another 100 meters and gets within 100 meters, Xu Rui will be at least 50% sure.
It's almost, just a little bit close, let's go, let's go! Xu Rui's heart started to feel anxious.
Eight hundred meters away on Wushi Mountain, the hearts of Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua were also hanging high.
"The distance is 1,100, the wind speed is eight meters per second, the wind direction is west-southwest, the wind direction is unpredictable, and it is not suitable for sniping." Xiao Taohong was so anxious that she felt like peeing, and whispered in a low voice, "What a ghost, what is the wind direction today?
What's going on, the wind blows from the northwest for a while and then from the southwest for a while, can you please stop causing trouble?"
