Horikiyoshi was right, Cole quickly rushed to the scene, while greeting the leaders on both sides, while performing the referee function, this guy also stuck in such a sensitive period, Ishihara Waner had a feeling of discouragement, but Cole quickly said lightly: "Every time the political situation in your country changes, I seem to be there, wow......" This meaningful phrase suddenly made Ishihara speechless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tada Jun and Takasu Shiro, who had changed into kendo uniforms, went to the competition platform amid the shouts and cheers of soldiers from both the army and navy.

"Tada-kun, please!"

"Takasu-kun, please!"

After the two bowed to each other, they began to compete, and everyone in the audience applauded, as a compulsory course in the army non-commissioned officer school and the naval academy, kendo is the content that every soldier must learn, and it is rare to see the commander, especially the general, learn kendo in public. Although the two are old, they are still meticulous in their competition, which is worse than Ishihara, he was thin when he was young, don't look at being a few years younger than Tada Jun, if he is the one who comes to power now, he will only be slashed.

However, although Takasu Shiro is 2 years younger than Tada Jun, but after all, there is a difference between sea and land, the army has a thick foundation, and the conditions are difficult, both physical strength and technology Tada Jun is stronger than him, and after more than a dozen rounds, his sword skills are scattered, his strength is not good, and he takes the initiative to admit defeat.

Having won the game, Tada Jun triumphantly circled the field, enjoying the full congratulations, feeling as if he had returned to the era of young Lu Shi, and the rear spectators applauded again and again, saying that he was the first to take the lead, and only Ishihara was still struggling to think about the true intentions of the navy.

As Cole reported: "The next challenger to the Navy delegation, Vice Admiral Ryunosuke Kusaka." Later, Lieutenant General Torushiro Kawabe, the cadre of the Ishihara faction, suddenly shouted: "It's not good, I'm fooled." ”

"What's going on?"

"Do you know Ryunosuke Kusaka?"

Ishihara thought about it carefully: "I know, I'm not familiar." ”

"This guy is the 4th generation of the sect of swordsmanship, I fought with him once a long time ago, and his kendo attainments are unfathomable, anyway, I can't take 4 moves."

"Huh?" Everyone was amazed.

In the blink of an eye, Kusaka Ryunosuke made a move, and many people haven't seen it clearly, he has used a lightning-fast knife to make Tada Jun admit defeat with a smile.

Lieutenant General Wakamatsu only 1 Army, Major General Kato Masayasu, and Inoue Koji Daisa took the stage to challenge one after another, and they were all defeated in front of Kusaka Ryunosuke's one-sword kendo. The cheers of the navy are getting louder and louder, but the officers and men of the army can't help but hang their heads.

Ishihara couldn't help frowning, although winning or losing is harmless, but if the army center is defeated by the navy that comes to challenge, it will be lost face in the future. Tada Jun was also in a hurry, and it was understandable that the general, lieutenant general, and rear admiral could not beat the vice admiral. Osaku lost face and couldn't hold it - Inoue Osaku was 11 years younger than Kusaka Ryunosuke. He said in a deep voice: "Let Nakamura Nakasaue, didn't he say that he was second when he was studying?" You can't afford to lose again. ”

Nakamura himself has good kendo attainments, and he is 18 years younger than Kusaka Ryunosuke, who has a physical advantage, and he takes the initiative to attack quickly, Kusaka Ryunosuke has fought 4 games in a row, and his strength is not good, and he admits defeat after more than 20 rounds of continuous fighting.

Then it was Nakamura's turn to shine, single-handedly picking on the three levels of Rear Admiral, Osa, and Nakasa, and won all battles, and finally lost to the hands of the Navy Major in his early 30s due to physical problems, and the sixth Army Major won the final victory.

"I declare that the Army delegation has successfully defended and finally won! Now, I would like to invite the Navy delegation to present a gift. Cole smiled and announced the results.

"Thanks to the advice, these 10 Sherman tanks were given to the army." In the end, Takasu Shiro did not feel frustrated at all, but left the tank with a smile and left with the naval delegation with a swagger. There were more than 30 tanks when they came, and only about 20 when they left.

"American tanks!" The officers and men of the army who had won the game and were very excited immediately rushed over to check on them, and after careful inspection, they finally found that there was no problem, and a few anxious staff officers even got into it and started driving, and the results were very satisfactory.

"The tanks are all good, they just lack ammunition - there are no shells, no machine gun bullets."

"What the hell is Horikichi doing?" Muto Akira was puzzled, "Changing the way to send tanks to us?" Want to buy us off with this? ”

"Isn't that going to be? Could it be that the attitude of the army is only worth 10 tanks? Joke! Shimomura said, "No matter whether it's good or bad, take the tank when it comes, and do whatever else you want." ”

Only Ishihara smiled disapprehantly, he had already guessed something, but he didn't want to say it now.

The army here was at a loss, and the navy over there was also jubilant when they returned, and Takasu Shiro asked Chiaki Matsuda, who had been hiding in the truck and not showing up: "Have you taken pictures?" ”

"Shoot! Very clear! During the period of 'Heavenly Punishment of National Thieves,' the central organs of the army and navy exchanged swordsmanship with each other in a friendly manner, and the principal commanders of the two sides personally went to the battle, and the navy also presented captured American supplies to the army, thus strengthening the relationship and deepening the friendship......

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

"Army red deer have a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and they only know how to fight and kill, how can they understand the strategy of the commander?"

"I'm afraid the palace is going to be so angry that I vomit blood, right?"

Almost at the same time as the kendo contest ended, another contest began, and the Guards Division and the Marines fought around the news and broadcasting stations in Nagata Town, and the Army lost this time, and it was a crushing defeat.

In order to show off and overwhelm the Takeda attack, the commander of the Shirakawa Brigade really only dispatched an infantry wing and launched the attack without asking for the cooperation of the chariot troops. As a result, the situation made the Takeda attack completely right, and after entering the 3,000-meter engagement distance, the recoilless guns set up by the navy in various corners began to exert their might, although the accuracy was average, but forced the attacking two brigades to disperse their forces.

After entering the 2,000-meter traditional visual area, the mortars, grenadiers, and 92 infantry guns of the infantry wing finally came into use, but unfortunately they encountered the Tiger tank that served as a pillar of fire on the defensive line, and steadily launched the 88mm high-explosive shell, which blew up the Guards Division on their backs, and the nimble and mobile jeep made the ammunition of the recoilless gun overwhelming, and the infantry attack was difficult. If Shirakawa had retreated in time or called for chariot support, the loss of troops would still be too great, but he was not willing to give up, and personally pressed the Governor's line, forcing the troops to crawl forward, advancing continuously, and trying to outflank them from both flanks.

The frontal attacking infantry brigade was frantically strafed by 12.7mm heavy machine guns after entering the 1,200-meter firefight, and the navy concentrated a total of more than 20 machine guns, relying on buildings to form crossfire from all dimensions, and the frontal and roundabout army infantry was beaten so hard to raise their heads, and the number of casualties skyrocketed.

At this time, the retreat, although the scene was very ugly, but the casualties were still sure to be controlled in a squadron (200 people), but the faint Shirakawa actually ordered the front-line officers and soldiers to advance in the rain of bullets, and launched a traditional Banzai charge at a distance of about 400 meters, hoping to overwhelm the marines in one breath, and the result was a miserable situation, at a charge distance of 200-300 meters, these poor soldiers could only shoot a few points with Type 99 rifles, and they were greeted with a numbness in the scalp and a "snort" The dense fire of MG42 and STG43 was swept through the attacking ranks like a storm of return fire by the marines, and in less than half a minute, more than one squadron of the charge was completely reimbursed, and the rest of the forces that were detouring from the flanks could not take advantage of it, and were forced to retreat in a daze.

"Baga, Baga!" After poor Shirakawa retreated, he was ravaged by dozens of slaps by Tanaka Shinichi, and the calculated losses made the staff officers who were watching the battle in the rear gasp: in less than 40 minutes of firefight, more than 500 people were lost, which was equivalent to half of the brigade being finished, and the periphery was full of blood. Although the navy certainly has casualties, the staff officers know very well that it is a question of whether the navy's losses can break 100 (the actual casualties are 59), and if the fight continues like this, it is not impossible for a wing to be wiped out.

Originally, everyone disdained Takeda's "cowardice", but after personally understanding it, how dare anyone say that he was "lying and intimidating", only saying that he was far-sighted and had insight into the enemy's situation, and the captains of the two chariot wings understood how wise the commander's decision was.

At the military meeting held again, Shinichi Tanaka publicly apologized to Takeda and asked why he had foreseen this.

Takeda sighed: "I've seen it in India, that's how the German marines fight, and the equipment and logistics of the marine brigade of Keiji Shibasaki are now stronger than the German army, otherwise why would Admiral Hori dare to use a mere brigade to come to Tokyo to rebel?" ”

Tanaka Shinichi frowned and said: "I don't care if I am disobedient or not, how can perfection open the gap." ”

"If it can't be opened, it will never be possible unless planes and heavy artillery go into battle, the fire is completely suppressed, and the nearby buildings are in ruins."

But the latter is even more unlikely, the afternoon exchange of fire has frightened the residents of Tokyo to flee one after another, although due to the early clearance, there are few casualties in the firefight, but the panic has spread, if the battle is carried out according to the Takeda Attack, the city of Tokyo will have to be reduced to ruins - no one can afford to fire on the four heavy cruisers in Tokyo Bay alone.

"So." Takeda put forward his opinion, "We can't fight anymore, monitor each other, confront each other, and wait for a high-level political settlement." ”

Except for Shirakawa, who was not angry, the rest of the people seconded, and Tanaka Shinichi sighed and said nothing, but at least he did not give the order to continue the attack.

The fierce exchange of fire aroused the close relationship between the palace and the army center, and as soon as there was a pause, a telegram was sent asking for the results of the battle. Shinichi Tanaka did not dare to conceal it, and 1510 reported the situation, believing that it was impossible to fight at all in such a way at present, and suggested a political solution, and if it really happened, the entire city of Tokyo should be evacuated, and "at all costs", bombing, and heavy artillery would be put into battle together.

In fact, this is simply a big talk, and he has tried his best to reassure the citizens not to flee under the persuasion of Takeda, and even reached a tacit agreement with the navy not to exchange fire.
