Chapter 502: The Time Has Come
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Wing Commander of the 36th Wing of the 223rd Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, June Sugimoto (I haven't found too much information about the 223rd Wing, the real name of the Wing Leader is not clear), Your Excellency the Wing Commander is here tonight for the promotion ceremony of Lieutenant Mashiko Shigeo, and we will call Lieutenant Mashiko Shigeo Shozo in the future." A devil laughed and said.
Many devils are not too surprised, they have known the news for a long time, but they have not revealed it. The reason why this promotion ceremony has been left until now is also because there are uncertain factors in the Shanxi First Army Command about Mashiko Shigeo's military exploits, and it is not until the recent reaction of the units of the Eighth Route Army that the First Army Command has made a decision.
Recently, all units of the Eighth Route Army have been very low-key, and even if there is a battle, the scale is very small, so that the devils in Shanxi are a little unsure of what the situation of the Eighth Route Army is now.
The changes in the troops of the Eighth Route Army made the Shanxi First Army think that this had a lot to do with the actions of the Mashiko Advance Team in the anti-Japanese base area, which in turn led to the promotion of Mashiko Shigeo this time. Aside from the battle at Cross Ridge, the exploits achieved by the Mashiko Advance Team were somewhat insufficient, and even if Mashiko Shigeo could be rewarded, it would not have been so greatly improved.
Liu Gen glanced at the devil puppet army in the hotel, and he could see that the puppet soldiers had some obvious confusion on their faces, as if they had never known the news before. Noticing this, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Gen's mouth, this situation is found to be very simple on the puppet army who have taken refuge in the devil, and on the devil's side, they will never be truly taken seriously.
"Now, I would like to invite Captain June Sugimoto to speak for us! Everyone is welcome! ”
As the wing commander of the 223rd Wing of the 36th Devil's Division, it is difficult for the devils in Qixian County to see such a level of character, and the 223rd Wing is not as famous as the 222nd Wing in the 36th Division. But even so, for the devils and puppet soldiers present, Sugimoto Junjiang is undoubtedly a real big man, unless it is in a big city like Taiyuan, such a figure can be easily seen.
Of course, in a place like Taiyuan, a mere wing captain is nothing, just a small person.
Many devils and puppet soldiers were a little excited, they never expected to see such a big man, and many people wanted to mix up in front of Sugimoto Junjiang and get the favor of Sugimoto Junjiang. It's just that these devil puppet soldiers also know very well that it is impossible for them to have a relationship with a big man like Sugimoto June, who is here for Mashiko Shigeo.
In the corner, Liu Gen looked towards Sugimoto Chunjiang. You can see that Sugimoto June is forty or fifty years old, with two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, which looks a little funny. Looking at the other corners of the hotel, Liu Gen didn't find anything abnormal, and only after he carefully observed it a few times again did he really feel at ease.
Originally, Liu Gen thought that when Sugimoto Junjiang, the captain of the devil wing, came here, there would definitely be a lot of devils to protect him, and it was very likely that there were also hidden devil soldiers in the hotel. Now it seems that there are no hidden devil soldiers in the hotel, and the ghost puppet army who is responsible for guarding outside the hotel is to protect the old devil Sugimoto June, and the reason why these devils are not allowed to come in is also to avoid affecting the promotion ceremony of Mashiko Shigeo.
At this time, Captain Ou was a little excited, he looked towards Liu Gen's position, the excitement in his eyes was a little difficult to hide, this time he really caught a big fish! The co-captain of a devil is already very good.
Liu Gen noticed the state of Head Ou, he shook his head and signaled Head Ou to calm down, don't be too excited, the appearance of this old devil is indeed good news, but it can't be messed up because of this old devil. Judging from the current state, June Sugimoto, an old devil, will not leave easily, and after the promotion ceremony of Mashiko Shigeo, he will definitely stay for a few drinks.
In such a banquet, it is undoubtedly impossible for the old devil Sugimoto Junjiang to leave easily without drinking.
According to the location of the 223rd Wing of the 36th Division of the Devils, they often need to get supplies from the county seat of Qixian County, plus the county seat of Qixian County is almost completely controlled by the devils, the old devil of Sugimoto Chunjiang does not have to worry about his own safety, and the chance of choosing to stay is very high, unless the news of Liu Gen and others successfully sneaking in is leaked, he will not leave at all.
After getting Liu Gen's signal, Commander Ou immediately calmed down, under Liu Gen's command, there were no problems, and the appearance of Sugimoto Chunjiang fully proved the correctness of Liu Gen's command, this time he naturally would not have any anxious thoughts, just wait patiently for Liu Gen's next command.
In the center of the hotel, the old devil of Sugimoto Chunjiang is constantly talking, Liu Gen and others are constantly eating, and it is not easy to get something delicious in the base area, even if you can eat it, it is impossible to eat too much at one time, where is it so happy now. In particular, the soldiers of the combat squad are eating at a very fast speed, and they should kill a lot of things on the table in a short time.
Noticing the state of these soldiers, Liu Gen only needs to signal to them with his eyes, eat and eat, but he can't make too much movement, don't let this old devil of Sugiyuan Chunjiang notice it will be troublesome.
Receiving Liu Gen's signal, the soldiers immediately slowed down the speed of eating, no longer gobbling it down, to be honest, eating so far, the soldiers are somewhat supportive, and it is better for them to eat slowly.
Not long after the soldiers stopped, the old devil of Sugimoto Junjiang glanced at the location of Liu Gen and the others, and there was some doubt in his eyes. I didn't know the identity of Liu Gen and the others very clearly, and after seeing that Liu Gen and the others were very calm, I didn't care too much.
Mashiko Shigeo's promotion ceremony was very simple, after Sugimoto June announced his appointment, Mashiko Shigeo was promoted from lieutenant to junior samurai, such a leapfrog promotion, which made Mashiko Shigeo very excited. Especially when Mashiko Shigeo received news from Sugimoto June that the First Army Command had plans to further develop his Mashiko Advance Team and replace the position of Yamamoto's special team.
When he heard such news, Shigeo Mashiko was very excited, he had long known about the existence of Yamamoto's special forces, and he also knew something about the battles of Yamamoto's special forces. Mashiko Shigeo knows very well that in the Yamamoto Special Forces, the First Army has invested a lot of resources, and the armament of weapons and equipment is in the forefront of the world, and now his Mashiko Advance Team has the possibility of obtaining the Yamamoto Special Team, how can he not be excited?
If Mashiko Shigeo is not mistaken, the captain of the Yamamoto Secret Service, Yamamoto Kazuki, is a Osa rank, which means that he Mashiko Shigeo is also very likely to be promoted to Osa, so to speak, his future is bright.
After the promotion ceremony was held, the banquet was continued, and this time with the co-captain of Sugimoto June, the devil puppet army all moved, and they needed to toast to show their respect. Maybe you won't be noticed if you don't toast, but no one dares to bet on whether they will be noticed, and if they are noticed, it will be very troublesome, and even say that their lives will be in danger.
Especially the puppet soldiers present, after taking refuge in the devils, they all know the methods of the devils, in the eyes of the devils, they are a group of dogs, a group of dogs that can be killed at will.
Seeing that the banquet continued, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, if the banquet was over, then he could only let the soldiers shoot directly, and doing so would definitely alarm the devils outside the hotel, so that Liu Gen and the others could not all kill the devil puppet army present. Now that the banquet continues, Liu Gen can continue to wait with the soldiers, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
Half an hour later, the devil puppet army in the hotel was drunk, most of them were lying on the table, and only a few Japanese puppet soldiers were still drinking.
Liu Gen got up with the soldiers, holding a wine glass in his left hand, and the dagger held tightly in his right hand hidden in his sleeve, and walked towards the Japanese puppet soldiers who were still drinking. After coming to these Japanese puppet soldiers, Liu Gen and the others dispersed, blocking the view of others looking at this position. At the same time, Regiment Commander Ou and the others also took action one after another, and as Liu Gen nodded slightly, the daggers in the hands of the soldiers stabbed out fiercely towards the devil in front of them.
In an instant, there were several devils who died quietly, and the actions of Liu Gen and the others continued continuously, and when they came to Mashiko Shigeo and Sugimoto June, they were drunk and had not yet reacted, and they did not react until they were cut in the throat by a dagger. It's just that before the two of them could call for help, their mouths were directly covered by the soldiers, so that they couldn't make any sound.
"Speed up!" Liu Gen ordered in a low voice.
The soldiers were speechless, but they all increased their speed, and the daggers in their hands kept stabbing out, killing the drunken devil puppet army one by one. The speed of the soldiers was very fast, and in less than ten minutes, the devil puppet army in the hotel was all killed by Liu Gen and others, in order to ensure that all these people were killed, Liu Gen also specially ordered the soldiers to spend five minutes to mend the knife.
At the same time, Liu Gen cut off the heads of Mashiko Shigeo and Sugimoto June in five minutes, and prepared to take them back to the anti-Japanese base area, and he wanted to use the heads of these two devils to pay tribute to the deputy chief of general staff who unfortunately died.
At the end of the five-minute time, Liu Gen and the others left the hotel decisively after briefly checking the possible blood stains on their bodies and left in the fastest time.
In order to prevent any devils from entering the hotel and discovering the situation in the hotel, Liu Gen specially explained to the devils in charge of vigilance in Japanese before leaving, telling them that the Japanese puppet army inside was still drinking and would play for a while, so that they should not go to disturb. The vigilant devil puppet army did not have any suspicions, and they could all ask about the extremely strong alcohol smell on Liu Gen and the others, so they didn't feel anything.
The soldiers of the special service group who were ambushed fifty meters outside the Wankelai Hotel immediately evacuated quickly according to the plan when they saw Liu Gen and others coming out of the hotel safely, and they all knew that the most important thing next was to evacuate, and only by leaving the county seat of Qixian County as soon as possible could they ensure their own safety. Once the devil discovers the situation of Wanke Lai Hotel, then it will definitely block the county seat of Qixian County as soon as possible, and the whole city will be searched, and Liu Gen and others will inevitably be found at that time.
"Quick! Remove! After the devil puppet army who was sure to be on alert couldn't see himself and the others, Liu Gen immediately shouted in a low voice.
The next moment, the speed of Liu Gen and the others suddenly increased a lot, and they disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye.
