The whole garden house was completely filled with gas, and it was useless to cover his mouth and nose with a towel, because it was not mustard gas, but tear gas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a while, a female soldier finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out desperately.

Unfortunately, however, as soon as the female soldier rushed out of the gate, fierce gunfire immediately rang out outside the garden, and with the help of tracer bullets and distant firelight, Jing Shuxuan clearly saw that the female soldier in the communications office was instantly beaten into a sieve, swinging back and forth twice like a residual load in the wind, and then fell to the ground.

These damn Chinese guys don't even let women go!

However, the death of the female soldier did not stop more people from rushing out, because if you stay in the house, you have to endure the ravages of tear gas, and sometimes, some things are really more terrible than death! So, one after another, the devils howled and rushed out of the gate desperately, launching a desperate charge against the Chinese.

But the result was no different from the female soldier just now, almost at the moment when these devils just rushed out of the gate, a dense rain of bullets came over in an instant, and the desperate charging devils were stacked to the ground, and in less than a moment, the steps at the gate of the garden house were already full of devil corpses, not to mention hundreds of corpses.

At the last moment, Adjutant Kuroda slammed his head at Jing Shuxuan, and then also held his saber, turned around and rushed out of the gate on the first floor, and then there was another burst of gunfire outside, and then there was no sound again, but, without much thought, Jing Shuxuan could also guess that his adjutant Kuroda Kazuo must have been beaten into a sieve.

With a sigh, Jing Shuxuanshi let go of his hand, let the towel covering his face slide to the ground, and then pulled out his saber with his backhand, just like Kuroda, he screamed and rushed out, and the moment he rushed out of the gate, the ubiquitous gas smoke was finally gone, and Jing Shuxuanshi immediately sniffed a few breaths of fresh air greedily.

In the next moment, a cluster of dazzling red light suddenly bloomed under the night ahead, and a fierce gunshot was faintly heard in his ears, and the next moment, Jing Shuxuan felt that something slammed his chest, and he was suffocated in an instant, and his lungs could no longer breathe, and in a trance, he felt that the whole world began to flip violently.

After a few moments, the world stood still at 90 degrees.

Jing Shuxuan lost his ability to move, but his consciousness remained awake, in the silence, he saw a pair of leather shoes coming over, standing in front of him, Jing Shuxuan wanted to look up at the owner of the leather shoes, he wanted to see who the man who beat him was, but unfortunately, he never got his wish.

Finally, Jing Shuxuan felt a bone-eating cold.

Then, Jing Shuxuan's soul fell into boundless darkness.

(Dividing Line)

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.

Seishiro Itagaki woke up from his sleep and sat up suddenly.

Just now in his sleep, Seishiro Itagaki had an extremely terrible nightmare, in the dream, he fell into a boundless and reckless world, with half-human thick dead branches and leaves under his feet, and a dense tree above his head, he walked and walked, walked and walked, I don't know how long and how far he walked, and finally saw the sky.

However, before he could catch his breath, a huge monster suddenly arrived.

Itagaki Seishiro couldn't describe what kind of monster it was, like a human, erect, but not human, because the monster's body was covered with long hair, and what impressed Itagaki Seishiro the most was the monster's eyes, cold and cold, without a trace of emotional color, looking at it, as cold and piercing as falling into an ice cave.

Then the monster poked out a huge slap and slapped it violently, and Seishiro Itagaki woke up in shock.

Taking a deep breath, Itagaki Seishiro didn't feel a trace of sleepiness anymore, and immediately pushed the door out, outside the bedroom door, Adjutant Togo Kota had already been awakened by the screams made by Itagaki Seishiro in his sleep, and he was already fully dressed, and when he saw Itagaki Seishiro pushing the door and walking out, he immediately nodded and saluted: "Your Excellency Commander!" ”

Seishiro Itagaki bowed his head lightly and said in a deep voice, "Go to the General Staff." ”

When the two came to the staff headquarters of the 12th Army, they saw Shigesei Aoki who was out pouring water.

Almost at the same time, Shigesei Aoki also saw Seishiro Itagaki and immediately asked, "Your Excellency Commander, why are you here?" ”

It's already early in the morning, and Seishiro Itagaki is not on duty, so Aoki Shigesei will ask such a question.

Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I can't rest assured, is there any news from the Ninth Division?" ”

As the commander of the 12th Army, Itagaki Seishiro of course cares about the development of the war situation in Shanghai, because Shanghai is the defense area of the 12th Army, if the 9th Division does not fight well or is annihilated by the patrol battalion, Itagaki Seishiro will not have to take responsibility, but also have a dull face, and more importantly, Shanghai still has Itagaki's sworn enemy, Xu Rui!

Shigesei Aoki replied, "There is no special news, but the offensive of the patrol camp has not stopped. ”

For this battle of Shanghai, Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki basically agreed with the judgment of the Japanese base camp, and they all believed that the Ninth Division had more than half a month to hold on, and now it has only been three days, and there will be no accidents, and it is impossible for Xu Rui to go to war again, and it is impossible to violate the objective laws of war.

It was based on this judgment that Itagaki Seishiro was in the mood to sleep, otherwise, he would not have left Shigesei Aoki alone on duty in the war room, and would have stayed in the war room 24 hours a day, and it was even possible to go directly to the front line in Shanghai and take over the command authority from Jing Shuxuanshi.

Aoki Shigesei continued: "Your Excellency Commander, the Battle of Shanghai is basically like this, the Ninth Division is more than fortified, but it is also unable to counterattack, and conversely, it is impossible for the patrol battalion to defeat the Ninth Division in a short period of time, so now, we can only wait for the Seventh Division and the Twentieth Division to arrive as soon as possible." ”

"Sodesnay." Seishiro Itagaki nodded, and then asked, "Aoki-kun, when will the 7th and 20th Divisions arrive in Shanghai?" ”

Shigesei Aoki said: "The 20th Division should be soon, and I just received a telegram from Uchida-kun before the evening, saying that the four infantry wings of the 20th Division have all completed the assembly, and all the technical equipment has been transported to Incheon, and it can be boarded and shipped at any time, and if nothing else, it will be able to reach Shanghai within three days!" ”

"Yo Si." Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly perked up and said, "The 20th Division is moving very fast, I thought it would take another seven days for them to reach Shanghai at the earliest, but I didn't expect to be able to reach Shanghai within three days!" Ushijima-kun really deserves to be a sapper, and his concept of time is better than others! ”

After a pause, Seishiro Itagaki asked again, "What about the Seventh Division?" ”

Shigesei Aoki said: "The Seventh Division may take a few days at night, because many officers and men have not returned from vacation, and no officers and soldiers have not returned until now, and the transport ships of the Navy are doing their best to ensure the delivery of materials to the Kwantung Army, and the transport forces transferred to us can only transport one division at a time." ”

"Yaga!" Itagaki Seishiro said angrily, "The Far East Campaign is important, isn't the Shanghai Campaign important?" Didn't those bureaucrats in the Admiralty think that if they could only send one division at a time, wouldn't this become a tactic to add fuel to the fire? If the opponent is replaced by someone else, it would be fine, but now the opponent is Xu Rui! ”

Shigesei Aoki sneered and said: "Your Excellency, the lack of transportation capacity is actually just a pretext for the Admiralty, as far as I know, a considerable amount of transportation capacity on the Navy side is actually used for the smuggling of opium, medicine and other materials, and it is busy making money on various routes such as Incheon, Osaka, Lushun and Qingdao." ”

When Bantan Seishiro heard this, a pair of thick eyebrows immediately frowned.

Like all imperial countries in the world, corruption was rampant in Japan at this time, especially the imperial family!

The Japanese imperial family here does not specifically refer to Emperor Hirohito, in fact, Hirohito, a little devil, is still incorruptible, and even once followed the example of his grandfather Muhito to save the royal family's time for the purchase of warships, but the Japanese imperial family is not only the emperor, but also a large number of princes, such as the two of Kanin Palace Zaihito and Fushimi Palace.

Kanin Miyazaihito is the chief of the army general staff, and Fushimi Miya Kyohiro is the head of the navy's military orders, and the two hold the supreme command of the Japanese army and navy respectively! But at the same time, it is not news that these two men are also the general backers of the corrupt forces of the Japanese army and navy, and they use the power of the army and navy for private purposes to make a lot of money.

Seishiro Itagaki said: "Some people's eating is too embarrassing, and this matter must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor of Tomorrow!" ”

Aoki Shigesei advised: "Your Excellency the commander is cautious, it is extremely unwise to offend the royal family, and I think it is better to forget it." ”

While the two were talking, a signal corpsman suddenly hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I have just received a farewell telegram from the communications staff officer of the Ninth Division's temporary headquarters, Second Lieutenant Yamashita. ”

"Nani, Temporary Command of the Ninth Division?!"

"Lieutenant Yamashita's farewell telegram?!"

Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki were taken aback when they heard this, and they didn't care about discussing corruption in the army at the moment, so Shigesei Aoki even snatched the telegram and read it out: "Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, and all my colleagues in the headquarters: Our division was raided by the patrol battalion last night...... The 19th Infantry Wing, which held the road of the supervising division, was ineffective in combat, so that the defense line was opened, and the enemy's main force took advantage of the victory to attack, and now it has surrounded the headquarters of our division, and the brigade commander His Excellency Jing Shu and all his colleagues in the headquarters were martyred, and after sending the telegram, they also broke the jade, May 14 of the Showa era, the second lieutenant officer of the Communications Office of the 9th Division, Eiji Yamashita, farewell, the Great Japanese Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, onboard! ”
