At the same time that Furushu sent a telegram to Wuhan Xingying, Shunroku Hata also sent a telegram to Toshisi Oshihara.

After receiving the telegram, Kokahara Shunsi hurried from the training camp to the headquarters, only to find that there was already a guest in Shunroku Hata's office.

Koshihara Toshisi was about to avoid it, but Shunroku Hatata's adjutant came forward with a smile and said, "Your Excellency Osa, Your Excellency the General has specially instructed that if you come, you can go in directly without asking for instructions." ”

Kokahara Toshisi was not polite to Shunroku Hata's adjutant, nodded slightly, and then went straight into Shunroku Hata's office with his saber on his shoulder.

As soon as he walked into the office, Toshiro Okahara saw Shunroku Hata sitting on the floor with a Japanese man in a black kimono, and the two had a good conversation.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Shunroku Hata and the Japanese man turned their heads to look at each other.

Seeing that it was Okahara Junsi who arrived, Hata Shunroku quickly got up, greeted him with a smile and said, "Okahara-san, Abe-san and I were still talking about you just now, I don't want you to arrive soon, this is really a coincidence, hehe." ”

The Japanese named Abe also got up and said with a smile: "This is in response to Gu Zhi's sentence, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, hehe." ”

Seeing the Japanese man in a kimono standing up, Kokahara Toshimi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

The Japanese didn't feel it when he was sitting just now, but as soon as he stood up, Kokahara Junsi found that this person's height was at least more than 1.9 meters, which is rare in Japan to be of such height, and this person has wide shoulders and narrow hips, and he knows that he is a practitioner at a glance.

Shunroku Hahata smiled and said to Toshishi Oshihara: "Okahara-san, let me introduce you, this is the closed disciple of the Imperial Judo Grandmaster Jigoro Kano, the only ten-dan grandmaster in the Imperial Judo world, Master Abe Resolute Abe. ”

Kokahara Toshisi nodded slightly, greeted him, and said, "Master Abe." ”

"Okahara-san, just call me Abe." Abe's resolute body gave people a heavy pressure, but his words were very easy-going, "Maybe you and I will serve the empire together in the future." ”

Kokahara Toshisi set his eyes on Shunroku Hatata, he didn't know why Shunroku Hata specially called him back? Is it just for him to meet this Abe Gangyi? Or is it that His Excellency the General intends to hire this Abe Resolute as an instructor for the Special Operations Brigade?

It really made Okahara Toshisi guess, the reason why Toshiroku Hata recalled Toshiro Okahara from the special forces training camp at the foot of the Purple Mountain was to let him meet with Abe Gangyi, because, Abe Gangyi clearly proposed to join Okahara Toshisi's special forces, and Hata Shunroku also intended to let Abe Goyoshi be a combat instructor for the special forces.

Facing Toshishi Ogahara's inquiring gaze, Shunroku Hata said: "Okahara-san, Abe-san is the only ten-dan grandmaster in the imperial judo world, and his attainments in judo are unquestionable, so I hope Abe-san can provide some help to your special forces......"

Hearing this, Kokahara Junsi immediately frowned.

Regarding Shunroku Hatata's rhetoric, Toshisi Oshihara was very unimpressed.

In his opinion, judo is just a routine to strengthen the body, and it may be helpful in martial arts, but it is also limited, and what the special forces have to learn is how to build people to death in the shortest possible time, which is the real fighting art, which is essentially different from the alchemy of judo.

However, without waiting for Toshishi Oshihara to refuse, Abe Goyoshi interrupted Shunroku Hata first.

"Your Excellency, I think you misunderstood." Abe interrupted Shunroku Hata and said, "I want to join Okahara-san's special forces, not as an instructor to teach judo, but as an ordinary soldier, to join the special operations team to participate in the battle." ”

"Nani?" Shunroku Hata was surprised when he heard this, "You want to join the special combat team as an ordinary soldier?" ”

"Hello." Abe resolutely said, "I just want to join the special operations team as an ordinary soldier." ”

However, Kokahara Toshisi is still a little unappreciative, because in his opinion, Abe Gangyi is already a celebrity, and a celebrity like this joining the special combat team will invisibly put pressure on the rest of the team, and if Abe Gangyi spreads inappropriate remarks in the team, it will also affect the cohesion of the troops.

At that moment, Shikahara Toshisi asked, "Abe-san, can I know the reason?" ”

Abe took out a photo from his sleeve and handed it to Toshimi Oshihara.

Okahara Toshisi took the photo and looked at it, but found that the photo was a cavalry ensign, and it was faintly familiar, Okahara Toshisi had a good memory, and he was sure that he had seen this ensign.

At that moment, Toshishi Okahara returned the photo to Abe Gotsu and said, "I seem to have seen it." ”

Abe solemnly put away the photo and said, "Okahara-san may have really seen it, because my younger brother served in the cavalry wing directly under the Hamura detachment before his death. ”

"Hamura detachment?" Oshihara Junsi said, "I remember, I had a relationship with Brother Ling before the Hamura detachment was promoted, and his name is Toshiyuki Abe, right?" ”

Abe Gotoshi said, "Yes, Okahara-san's memory is really good. ”

Xiaoluhara Junsi sighed and said, "It's a pity that Brother Ling stepped into the trap of the Dameishan Independent Regiment with His Excellency Hamura, and the jade was shattered on the spot. ”

"That's why I came to China." Abe's resolute face flashed a hideous color, and he said, "I want all the Shina people who participated in the murder of my brother to die!" ”

Oshihara Junsi nodded and said, "Abe-san, I can understand your feelings, but I must first state that my special operations team is not someone who wants to enter, even Abe-san, you must also be assessed, I want to know, can you accept the assessment?" ”

"Yes." Abe said in a deep voice, "I can be assessed." ”

At this time, Shunroku Hatata's adjutant suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and reported: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the Inaba Division is in an emergency. ”

Shunroku Hata confessed to Toshisi Ogawara and Goyoshi Abe, then left the office and hurried to the war room.

As soon as he entered the war room, Tsukada came forward and said, "Your Excellency, the Inaba Division has just sent back an urgent telegram from the front line, saying that it has advanced to the vicinity of Feidong, but because the Zhina Army dug the embankment of the Feihe River, the river flooded and flooded the road east of the Feihe River, making it impossible for heavy equipment to enter, so the attack on the Feidong stronghold was not smooth. ”

After a slight pause, Tsukada said again: "Also, the Kikuchi Brigade was also stubbornly blocked by the New Fourth Army near Chao County, and it was impossible to advance an inch after two days and nights of fierce fighting. ”

"Break out to the east?" Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "As for that?" ”

Ordering the northbound cluster to break through to the east is an emergency plan in the most extreme situation.

The reason why it is eastward, not to the south or north, is that the Nationalist Army has gathered heavy troops in both the north and south directions, and whether it is to the south or north, the northbound cluster will be attacked head-on by the Nationalist Army, and only the Nationalist Army in the east is slightly weaker.

The question is, once the order to go north to cluster to break through to the east, it means that the Central China Front's efforts to open up the Feiwu Highway have completely failed, but now that the Inaba Division has just arrived in Feidong, and the Second Feicheng War has just begun, is it too early for Tsukada to make such a pessimistic prediction?

Tsukada sighed and said, "Your Excellency, how could I be willing to make such a prediction? However, considering that our opponent this time is Xu Rui, we can't help but plan for the worst. ”

"Xu Rui?" Hearing this, Shunroku Hata's heart sank, and he said, "This person is really so powerful? ”

"Hello." Tsukada paused heavily and said, "For Xu Rui and his people, it is impossible to overestimate it." ”

"Okay, then telegraph the northbound cluster and let them prepare to break through to the east, but Tsukada-san, we still need to do our best." Shunroku Hata eventually took Tsukada's suggestion because he remembered his predecessor, Sugi Moto, who was suffering from Waterloo because he didn't pay much attention to Tsukada's opinion.

"And." Shunroku Hata paused slightly, and then continued, "Then telegraph the Kikuchi Brigade and ask them to defeat the enemy in front of them at all costs, and be sure to rush to Feicheng before dark tomorrow, and then cooperate with the Inaba Division to capture Feicheng in the shortest possible time and open up the Feiwu Highway." ”

"Hello." Tsukada slammed his head and turned to go.

(Dividing Line)

The four detachments have been fighting fiercely with the Kikuchi Brigade in Chaoxian for two days and nights.

Xiao Huadong hurriedly walked into the war room and said to Gao Hanting, who was inspecting the map: "Commander, the Ninth Regiment reports that the Kikuchi Brigade has directly invested in an infantry brigade this time. ”

Gao Hanting stared at the map for a long time without saying a word, and then asked, "What is the casualty situation of the Ninth Regiment?" ”

"The casualties are very large!" Xiao Huadong said in a deep voice, "More than half of the casualties of the 1st and 2nd battalions have been killed, and the 3rd battalion has almost been disabled. ”

When Gao Hanting heard this, his facial muscles twitched violently.

In the battle of Feicheng, the four detachments won easily, and it also gave Gao Hanting an illusion, thinking that the devil's combat effectiveness was nothing more than that, so when the Kikuchi Brigade went north from Wuhu, Gao Hanting didn't say it, but he held his breath in his heart, ready to fight the devil fiercely.

But as soon as the war began, Gao Hanting found that his estimate was seriously wrong!

It's only been two days since the start of the fight, and one of his main regiments that is fully manned is almost disabled, and this is still the premise that the devil is in a hurry to go to Feicheng and does not seriously fight with their four detachments, if the Kikuchi brigade really starts a fight and fights with their four detachments, Gao Hanting is very suspicious that the casualties of the ninth regiment are much greater than now.

This time, Gao Hanting was a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Let's fight again, the casualties of the troops are too great, but if you stop here, you always feel a little unwilling.

After hesitating, Gao Hanting asked Xiao Huadong and said, "Political commissar, what is your opinion, should you continue to fight, or do you want to get out of the way and let the devils pass, and then clean up their broken troops?" ”

Xiao Huadong sighed and said, "Commander, or let's let it." ”

Gao Hanting was originally between the two, and immediately said, "Okay, then let's let it." ”
