Seeing Shozo Kawabe put on the major general uniform that was only worn when attending ceremonies, Nakamura Shun suddenly looked miserable. He had already realized what Shozo Kawabe wanted to do.
Kawabe Shozo stood up from his knees on the tatami, held his hands to Nakamura Shunsuke and said: "Nakamura-san, please."
Nakamura Shun took off his boots, walked into the room, and then knelt down opposite Shozo by the river.
By the river, Zhengzo gave a high-five, and then two young and beautiful female soldiers came in carrying trays. They placed the two bottles of sake and several dishes of appetizers on the trays on the low table on the tatami, and then the two female soldiers
Then he bowed his head and walked out of the room, closing the sliding door gently, and the room immediately fell silent.
Kawabe Shozo took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Nakamura Shun and said: "Nakamura-san, I'm really ashamed to say that since I transferred you to the Central China Condemnation Army Headquarters, I haven't even invited you to drink for so long.
Jiu, as a senior, I am really ashamed, but today, I finally made up for this regret."
Nakamura Jun's Adam's apple twitched and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
Nakamura Shun really wanted to tell Kawabe Shozo, Kawabe-san, you are actually very good, and the sweep plan you made is also very good. If it weren't for me, your plan might be successful, but can he say this?
As soon as the words came out, not only was he, Toshi Nakamura, certain to die, but the entire Nakamura family was also doomed.
The only thing Nakamura Shun could do was drink with Hebian Zhengzo, one cup after another.
Shosan by the river doesn't drink well, and after just half a bottle of sake, he's already a little tipsy.
Hebian took out a black wooden box from under the table, pushed it in front of Nakamura Shun, and said: "Nakamura-san, I invite you here this time. In addition to wanting to make up for the meal, I also have a personal matter to ask of you.
you."
Nakamura Shun paused and said, "If you have anything to do, General, just give me your orders."
Kawabe Shozo patted the black wooden box and said harmoniously: "There are some personal belongings of mine in this box. If Nakamura-san has the opportunity to return to Toyama County in the future, please take it back for me and pass it on to my wife."
"Hai." Nakamura Shun nodded solemnly, and then solemnly put away the black wooden box.
After handing the black wooden box to Nakamura Shun, Kawabe Shozo became relaxed.
Kawabe Masamune picked up the jug, gently rubbed the tulip pattern engraved on the jug and said to Nakamura Jun: "Nakamura-san, do you know why I don't like Kiku Masamune, but I love drinking this tulip the most?"
Nakamura Shun said: "Because tulips are the prefectural flower of our Toyama Prefecture."
"Sodes, tulips are the county flower of our Toyama Prefecture. Every year from March to April, when the tulips are in full bloom, the air throughout Toyama Prefecture is filled with the fragrance of tulips, as well as the endless sea of flowers.
It really makes people want to sleep and die in it forever and never wake up." Hebian Zhengsan said in a low voice.
As Nakamura Shun listened, his nose suddenly became sour and he almost shed tears.
After sighing for a moment, Kawabe Shozo said again: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot."
After saying that, Kawabe Shozo stood up, took a saber from the knife rest in front of the north wall, then walked back, placed the saber in front of Nakamura Shun, and said: "Nakamura-san, I am responsible for this saber."
It was a gift given to me by Emperor Taisho when he was a member of the Imperial Guard. I have no use for it, so I will give it to you today."
Nakamura Shun quickly said: "Your Excellency, General, I would not dare to accept such an expensive gift in a humble position."
Kawabe Shozo waved his hand and said: "The reason why Emperor Taisho gave me this saber back then was because he hoped that I could use this saber to expand territory and make contributions to the Empire of Japan. But now, I don't need this saber."
I have a saber, so Nakamura-san, you can wear this saber and continue to expand the territory for the empire."
Then, before Nakamura Shun refused, Kawabe Shozo continued: "Nakamura-san, you can go."
Nakamura Shunhai shouted, and he picked up the black wooden box and the saber somewhat numbly, then turned and walked out of the room, but when he walked to the door, Nakamura Shun finally couldn't help it, and turned around and said: "Riverside-san, things may still be okay.
There is a turning point. You once served as Emperor Taisho's imperial guard and were Emperor Hirohito's teacher. How about..."
Kawabe Shozo just smiled at Nakamura Jun, and Nakamura Jun's voice suddenly stopped.
"Hai!" Shun Nakamura nodded heavily towards the river through the door, and then moved the door closed.
However, after closing the door, Nakamura Shun did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed outside the door for a while. After a while, there was a soft pop in the room, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Turning around somewhat numbly, Nakamura Jun saw a communications staff officer walking over in a hurry.
Seeing Jun Nakamura, the communications staff officer immediately paused and reported: "Your Excellency, Colonel, we just received a request for help from the 8th Independent Tank Regiment. They were surrounded in a small village less than ten miles away from Pucheng, and they insisted on
It won't be long before Lord Yamamoto requests the dispatch of emergency tactical guidance from the Condemnation Army Headquarters."
Nakamura Shun seemed not to hear it and walked forward numbly.
"Your Majesty Colonel?" the communications staff officer called out, but received no response, so he hurriedly ran to find Kabeo Shozo. However, when he moved the door to the lounge, he found that Kabea Shozo nodded to the ground and knelt down.
He stood on the tatami, but behind him, a sharp tip of a knife was exposed. Under Zhengsan's body by the river, there was a large pool of blood.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff?!" The communications staff officer was immediately confused.
(Dividing line)
Ten miles north of Pucheng is Xiaoli Village.
The topography of Xiaoli Village is somewhat special. The Mei River flows right around the village, forming a U shape, and the road from Meixian County to Pu County passes right through the middle of the U shape. At the bottom of the U shape, there is a stone bridge connecting the two sides of the Mei River.
, Yamamoto Koshiji's tank regiment must cross the stone bridge if they want to escape back to Pukou.
However, the engineering battalion of the Dameishan Military Division had already set up an ambush here.
Mei Jiuling first asked the demolition team to place explosives under the stone bridge, and then ordered the engineering battalion to repair an anti-tank trench two meters deep and five meters wide at the opening of the U-shaped area. Not to mention the Type 95 light tank.
Even the Type 97 medium tank cannot cross such a wide anti-tank trench.
At 4:50 in the morning, Mei Jiuling was waiting a little impatiently when a rumbling noise suddenly came from ahead.
He Dacong, who was originally drowsy, immediately perked up and said to Mei Jiuling: "Batalion Commander, the Japanese tanks are coming!"
Mei Jiuling quickly raised the telescope, but after adjusting the focus, he could clearly see from the field of view of the telescope that a huge armored convoy was rumbling towards Xiaoli Village. A rough count of this convoy was
Composed of at least thirty or forty tanks and a dozen trucks, it must be the Eighth Tank Regiment!
Mei Jiuling immediately shouted: "Send my order and prepare to fight!"
He Dacong quickly conveyed Mei Jiuling's order, and then carried the detonator over.
At the same time, a dozen engineers responsible for arson quickly entered Xiaoli Village.
Soon, the Japanese convoy arrived in front of the stone bridge at the bottom of the U-shape, and Mei Jiuling's heart immediately tightened.
Mei Jiuling was worried that the Japanese tanks would suddenly stop and refuse to step into the trap they designed. In this case, all their hard work overnight would be in vain, and in the next step, it would be difficult for them to clean up the Japanese tanks.
It's difficult, at least the hope of capturing these tanks intact is very slim.
This is what is often said, if things have nothing to do with oneself, it will lead to chaos.
Mei Jiuling wanted these tanks so much that she was so worried about gains and losses.
However, Mei Jiuling's worries were obviously unnecessary, because the convoy of the 8th Tank Regiment did not stop for a moment, and drove directly from the stone bridge, directly entering the U-shaped area where Xiaoli Village was located.
Well, after all, Yamamoto Koshiji is not a god who can pinch and calculate, so how could he know that there is a trap here?
After a while, the forward of the tank regiment arrived at the open end of the U-shaped area.
Then, the Type 95 light tank responsible for opening the road was forced to stop by the anti-tank ditch in front of it, followed by the second tank, then the third, and the fourth...
Yamamoto Yueji's car was a 1997 modified medium tank. When he found that the tank was forced to stop, Yamamoto Yueji immediately opened the top cover of the turret, then stretched out his upper body and shouted in front of him: "Baga, why not
Gone? Who told you to stop? Keep going, keep going, keep going..."
However, the convoy huddled in front did not move at all.
Just when Yamamoto Etsuji was in a panic, a tank soldier suddenly ran over and reported: "Your Majesty Colonel, an anti-tank trench has been found ahead, and our tanks can't get through it!"
"Nani, anti-tank trench?" A shadow suddenly passed over Yamamoto Yueji's heart, something bad!
When he looked up hurriedly, Yamamoto Etsuji discovered that there was a densely packed village on both sides of the road, with at least hundreds of huts. Outside the huts, he could faintly see the river, which turned out to be a river bend? Looking back, he looked up.
Looking back, Yamamoto Koshiji saw a bridge through the car lights. Seeing the bridge, Yamamoto Koshiji understood everything.
"Bagagaru, this is a trap, it's a trap!" Yamamoto Yueji immediately roared loudly, "Turn around, turn around, control the bridge, hurry up..."
However, it's already too late.
Before Yamamoto Koshiji roared twice, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from under the stone bridge.
"Boom!" The violent explosion shook dozens of tanks that were forced to park on the road. Yamamoto Koshiji's heart sank instantly. It was over!
"Fire! Your Excellency, Colonel, there's a fire!" Suddenly a tank soldier reported in panic.
When Yamamoto Koshitsugi looked anxiously, he found that more than a dozen fires had been lit in the villages on both sides of the road. Soon, the fire was completely out of control. However, what surprised Yamamoto Koshitsugi was that after the fire started, he saw
There was no flame, but a large amount of thick smoke spewing out from the huts.
