While Miyamoto was talking to Kawabe Shozo on the phone, Yoshimoto Seiichi had already led his troops to the assassination scene.
Han Feng's desperate blockade failed to hold off Yoshimoto Seiichi for too long. Yoshimoto Seiichi left a squadron responsible for clearing the Yamato Hotel, and then led another guard squadron to bypass the Yamato Hotel from the alley and rush to the city on foot.
However, before leaving the city, Yoshimoto Seiichi asked the correspondent to give orders to the garrison in Jiujiang.
When Yoshimoto Seiichi left the city, an infantry brigade sent by the garrison quickly arrived.
Therefore, those who followed Yoshimoto Seiichi to the scene were, in addition to a guard squadron from the headquarters, a brigade sent by the Jiujiang garrison, with a total strength of more than a thousand people.
Unfortunately, none of this was enough to save Neji Okamura's fate.
As early as two and a half hours before Yoshimoto Seiichi arrived, Okamura Neji had died.
Looking at Neji Okamura lying quietly on the stretcher, Yoshimoto Teiichi suddenly felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted on the spot.
Hurry up and slow down, and even create a big explosion before leaving the city, in order to give a timely warning to avoid the commander being assassinated as much as possible. However, after all, he is still half a beat late, and the commander finally ends up
He was assassinated anyway and died. At this moment, Yoshimoto Teiichi really wanted to pull out his saber and commit seppuku.
As the Chief of Staff of the 11th Army, Yoshimoto Seiichi is not responsible for the personal safety of Okamura Neji. Therefore, according to military regulations, even if Okamura Neji is assassinated, Yoshimoto Seiichi does not need to commit seppuku to protect his own safety.
Honor, but as a member of the Eleventh Army, the assassination of the commander was definitely a great humiliation for him.
Gritting his teeth, Yoshimoto Seiichi tried his best to calm himself down. It was not the time to be depressed yet.
Turning around, Yoshimoto Sadai grabbed the lapel of a captain at the scene and shouted sternly: "Where is the assassin? Have you caught the assassin who assassinated the Commander?"
The captain turned around and waved, and the military police escorted the two men forward.
One is Japanese, he is the boss of Takeno Charcoal Grill, Takenoda Iso.
The other one was a Chinese, and she was an old woman with disheveled hair and blood all over her body.
The captain pointed at Takeno and said: "Chief of Staff, the assassin is the Nishimura who is with him!"
"Nishimura Kojiro?!" Although Yoshimoto Teiichi didn't know the specific inside story of the Wagyu beef farm, he had met Nishimura Kojiro once at Takeno Charcoal Grill and knew that this guy was a down-and-out samurai from Tokyo. He never expected that this would make him
The down-and-out samurai who had no suspicion at all turned out to be a fake!
Moreover, the person pretending to be someone from the Wolf Fang Force!
Yoshimoto Teiichi was very suspicious that Nishimura Kojiro was Xu Rui himself!
Because according to the information provided by the Special Higher Education Course, Xu Rui can speak fluent Japanese!
Yoshimoto Sadichi said angrily: "Where is Nishimura Kojiro? Where is he, where is he?!"
Poof, Takenoda Iso was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Sir, I don't know what's going on. I really don't know why Nishimura-san wanted to assassinate Commander Okamura, let alone where Nishimura-san is.
, I really don’t know!”
Yoshimoto Sadichi said angrily: "Baga, what Nishimura Kojiro is, it's fake, he's a spy, he's Chinese!"
"Nani, is Nishimura-san Chinese?" Takenoda Iso said blankly, "Nishimura-san is Chinese? No way?"
Poor Takenoda Iso, he really didn't know the inside story, but Yoshimoto Teiichi didn't believe him at all.
"Take him down and interrogate him strictly to see if there are any other accomplices." Yoshimoto Sadao groaned, waving his hand to the military police to escort Takenoda Iso, and then his fierce eyes fell on another old woman.
He said in a dark voice, "What's going on with this old Chinese woman?"
The captain paused and replied: "This old woman and the assassin are on the same team! She is responsible for the half-way response."
"Really?" Yoshimoto Zhenyi quickly pulled out the saber, put the sharp tip against the old woman's throat, and said in a ferocious voice, "Is the person who assassinated the commander your Excellency Xu Rui? Where has he gone?"
This old woman is none other than Granny Yinhua, who left behind a divorced queen.
In the previous battle, Granny Yinhua killed dozens of Japanese. Before being captured, she had every chance to use the last bullet to end her life, but after a slight hesitation, she used the last bullet.
He killed another Japanese soldier, and then killed several Japanese soldiers with his bare hands while still being seriously injured.
Finally, Granny Yinhua's strength was exhausted and she fell into the hands of the Japanese.
It's a pity to say it. If it weren't for the extremely unfavorable terrain, how could Granny Yinhua have been captured so easily?
Although Grandma Yinghua didn't understand Japanese, she knew that she would never say anything nice. She glanced at Yoshimoto Seiichi with disdain, and then spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm into Yoshimoto Seiichi's face.
"Baga!" Ji Benzheng was furious, and the saber in his hand moved forward, and then stabbed into the throat of Granny Yinghua.
Granny Yinhua's body twitched violently several times, and her head, which was originally held high, finally drooped.
The heroine who had been in Feixi for nearly a century has come to an end, but her name will always be engraved on the heroic spectrum of the Chinese nation! The ancient Chinese nation is precisely because there are thousands of people like Granny Yinhua.
Human beings will never be conquered for thousands of years. We can be defeated, but we will never be conquered!
As soon as Yoshimoto Sada sheathed the knife, she took out her handkerchief and wiped away the bloody phlegm on her face. She still couldn't understand her hatred, and then she kicked the body of Granny Yinghua with her feet.
The captain stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, chief of staff, the assassin can't escape."
"Oh, really?" Yoshimoto Teiichi then realized that all the security troops who had come with Okamura Neji were not there, and there were not many military police left at the scene. These troops must have gone after the assassins, so he said urgently
, "By the way, where is Kuroki? And where are the commander's security forces?"
Kuroki is Okamura Neji's aide-de-camp.
The captain paused and said, "Sir Blackwood has been broken into pieces, and his body is over there."
Pointing to the front, the captain paused and said, "However, Chief Yoshino has already led the remaining security forces to hunt down the two escaped assassins."
Yoshino is Rio Yoshino, captain of the Jiujiang Military Police.
As soon as the captain finished speaking, a three-wheel motorcycle came speeding from the road ahead.
Speeding in front of Yoshimoto Seiichi, the motorcycle driver suddenly turned the direction, and the sidecar swerved and stopped in front of Yoshimoto Seiichi, and then the sergeant commander who was sitting on the sidecar jumped out of the car.
Come and pay tribute to Sadato Yoshimoto.
Before the sergeant commander could say anything, Yoshimoto Teiichi rushed to ask: "Where is Yoshino? Where is the murderer who assassinated the commander?"
The sergeant commander paused and said: "Report to the chief of staff, the two assassins have been picked up by the remnants of the National Army in Jigong Ridge. Chief Yoshino has led his troops to surround Jigong Ridge. However, the military police force is limited and is not enough to completely surround Jigong Ridge."
, so I request the Chief of Staff to urgently mobilize troops from the Jiujiang Garrison Regiment for reinforcements."
"Nani, the remnants of the National Army in Jigong Ridge?!" Two black lines immediately appeared on Yoshimoto Zhenyi's forehead. There was a remnant of the National Army entrenched in Jigong Ridge. This little devil knew about it, but because of this
The Nationalist Army had very few troops, and the Japanese army was busy fighting the main force of the Nationalist Army, so they could not spare the energy to deal with them.
But he never expected that the remnants of the National Army would dare to jump out at this time!
"Hai!" The sergeant commander who came back to report paused and said, "However, chief of staff, the murderer who assassinated the commander has been seriously injured. Even though he escaped back to Jigongling, he may not be able to survive."
"Baga." Yoshimoto Tadashi slapped the sergeant in the face and cursed angrily, "Without seeing the corpse, anything is possible!"
"Hai." The sergeant commander nodded heavily.
Yoshimoto Teiichi shouted again: "Order, move towards Jigong Ridge immediately!"
Yoshimoto Sada gave the order, and the accompanying Japanese soldiers from one brigade and two squadrons immediately turned around and marched in the direction of Jigong Ridge.
When he turned back and looked at the body of Okamura Neji, Yoshimoto Teiichi's face immediately fell.
The assassination of Commander Okamura was not only a shame for all the soldiers of the 11th Army, but also meant that the general offensive that had just been prepared was going to have another problem. Moreover, he really didn't know how to report this matter to the headquarters of the Condemnation Army.
But one thing he was extremely sure of was that after hearing the news, the general would be furious.
But soon, Yoshimoto Teiichi no longer had to worry, because someone came from the headquarters.
After receiving the call from Kawabe Shozo, Chief of Staff Miyamoto did not dare to neglect and drove to the foundation laying site in person. So Yoshimoto Seiichi handed over the glorious mission of "reporting the funeral" to Staff Miyamoto, while he himself
He escaped and rushed to Jigongling to personally direct the battle to wipe out the remnants of the National Army.
After Miyamoto saw the body of Okamura Neji, he felt as if he were mourning for his heir.
Miyamoto and Okamura Neji are more than ten years apart, an era apart.
Although Shunroku Hata did not like Okamura Neji, young officers like Miyamoto admired and even worshiped Okamura Neji. The second German war commanded by Okamura Neji was even more popular with Miyamoto.
The Young Officers regard it as a classic, and it will be turned out and analyzed and studied at almost every officer gathering.
Therefore, the assassination of Okamura Neji was a very heavy blow to Miyamoto.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Miyamoto knelt down in front of Okamura Neji's body, sobbing loudly with his head on the ground.
After a full half hour, Miyamoto finally stood up and said to the communications soldier with a gloomy expression: "Ono-san, call back to the headquarters of the dispatched army immediately. Commander Okamura arrived near Wushi Mountain in the suburbs of Jiujiang two hours ago.
When he was assassinated by Wolf Fang, the accompanying guards failed to protect him, so that the commander was shattered on the spot."
"Hai." The signal soldier left with a depressed expression.
