Shuichi Hamura was already a little uneasy.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to eight o'clock at night, but the 1st Infantry Brigade of Yoshio Katamura had still not been able to get in touch, and what made Hamura Shuichi even more uneasy was that the communication team sent out to find the Katamura Brigade was also gone, and I don't know if it was ambushed halfway?

The communications team had only three side three-wheeled motorcycles and only nine people, and the possibility of being attacked in the middle of the road was extremely high.

Seeing that Yumura Shuichi was a little uneasy, the chief of staff, Tatsuya Nagajin, whispered: "Your Excellency General, why don't you send another communication team to take a look?" ”

Shuichi Hamura nodded silently.

Yongjin Tatsuya said, and was about to get up and go to the camp of the communication squadron to arrange the second communication class, but he saw the squadron leader of the communication squadron, Captain Matsushima, hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Yongjin Tatsuya, Captain Matsushima immediately paused and reported loudly: "Chief of Staff, the 1st Infantry Brigade is in an emergency!" ”

"Nani? 1st Infantry Brigade? ”

Yongjin Da also heard the words and suddenly lifted his spirits, and was looking for them, finally there was news!

Shuichi Hamura also got up from the bonfire and said urgently, "Eijin-san, read quickly!" ”

"Hello." Yongjin Tatsuya slammed his head, then took it and unfolded the telegram and read, "Headquarters of the 3rd Independent Mixed Detachment of the Central China Front of the Imperial Japanese Army: Our unit was surrounded by the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment of the Chinese Army at Teapot Pass, and the captain of the brigade Katamura Shaozo has been shattered, and the situation of our department is already very critical......"

At this point, the telegram was no more.

At that moment, Yongjin Tatsuya turned his head and asked Captain Matsushima, "Matsushima-san, what about the back?" ”

Captain Matsushima shook his head and said with a heavy expression: "Chief of Staff, the back is gone." ”

"Gone?" Yongjin Tatsuya's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he looked back at Hamura Shuichi.

The telegram was only half sent, and there were only two possibilities, one was that the radio was out of order, or mechanical, or technical, or the station was damaged by a stray bullet; the other is that the operator has an accident, such as being shot; Whatever the case is, it is enough to prove that the situation of the Katamura brigade is not good.

Shuichi Hamura's facial muscles twitched violently, Yoshio Katamura is such a fool, who let him attack without permission?

At this time, Yumura Shuichi regretted it inexplicably, when he decided to let the 1st Infantry Brigade act as the vanguard, Yongjin Da also disagreed, Yongjin Da also thought that although Katamura Yoshio could fight, but he could also cause trouble, especially in the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield, Katamura Yoshio was known for repeatedly disobeying orders.

In the end, it turned out that Tatsuya Eijin's concern was correct.

The fool of the righteous man in Katamura really reverted to his old ways, and once again disobeyed the military order!

It's just a matter of disobeying military orders, and he deserves to kill himself, but dampening the morale of the entire detachment is absolutely intolerable to Shuichi Hamura, but it's a pity that he is angry now, and he can't find anyone to vent his anger, because Yoshio Katamura has already paid the price for his stupidity, and he has been killed!

"Map!" Shuichi Hamura quickly suppressed his anger.

Shuichi Hamura can actually understand Katamura's disobedience, but he just wants to steal credit.

If you want to talk about disobedience, there has always been a tradition of disobedience in the Japanese army circles, and when he was a staff officer in the Kwantung Army, didn't he also disobey the order of the upper peak?

And it was the order of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, that he disobeyed at the beginning.

If it weren't for the disobedience of a group of young staff officers, with the courage of the commander of the Kwantung Army at that time, Honjo Shigeru, I am afraid that they would never dare to attack the Northeast Army, right? In the end, it turned out that it was precisely because of the disobedience and unauthorized actions of these young staff officers that they finally opened up a new situation for the empire!

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in that operation that he was able to rise to prominence, and in just six years, he was promoted from a small lieutenant to four ranks in a row and promoted to major general!

Therefore, Shuichi Hamura is not too angry at Katamura's disobedience.

What Yumura Shuichi is most worried about is the safety of the Katamura Brigade, once the Katamura Brigade has an accident, it will not only lose the strength of an infantry brigade, but also seriously dampen the morale of the entire detachment.

"Map!" Shuichi Hamura suppressed his anger and shouted in a low voice, "Find the teapot pass!" ”

The combat staff officer in charge of carrying the map quickly took the map out of his satchel and spread it out.

With the help of the fire, Nagajin Tatsuya quickly found the teapot pass from the map and pointed it out to Shuichi Hamura.

With his right thumb and forefinger, he compared the distance between the campsite and the teapot pass, and then compared the scale in the lower right corner of the map, and quickly calculated the approximate distance between the two places: "The distance is fifteen kilometers, and it will take at least two hours for the infantry to march over, but I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

Yongjin Tatsuya also nodded approvingly.

Hamura Shuichi immediately ordered: "Yongjin-san, you will order the cavalry wing, the chariot detachment, and the motorized infantry brigade to assemble urgently!" ”

The cavalry wing, the chariot detachment, and the motorcycle infantry brigade are the mobile forces of the Hamura detachment, and the reason why Hamura Shuichi even offended his superiors to get enough chariots, trucks, and motorcycles, and why he wanted to form such a rapid reaction force at any cost, was to play a decisive role at such a critical moment.

Yongjin Tatsuya said: "Your Excellency General, you saddle the horse and work hard, so you don't have to go in person, and hand it over to the lowly position, right?" ”

"No!" However, Yumura Shuichi did not hesitate to reject Yongjin Tatsuya's proposal, and said in a deep voice, "Yongjin-san, you stay at the headquarters, and I personally lead the cavalry wing, chariot detachment and motorized infantry brigade to Teapot Pass, you must remember that before I come back, no matter what happens, don't act rashly, especially don't attack easily!" ”

"Hello." Yongjin Da was also disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and he took orders.

As chief of staff, Yongjin Da also had almost no chance of leading the troops to fight alone, so he was very eager to get this precious opportunity, and if he could show excellent command skills in this rescue operation, he would have the opportunity to be transferred to a field division as a wing commander of an infantry wing.

It's a pity that Shuichi Hamura didn't give him this opportunity.

Yongjin Tatsuya didn't know that it was precisely because of Hamura Xiu's stubbornness that he escaped by mistake.

In less than 10 minutes, the cavalry wing and the motorized infantry brigade had already completed their assembly, and the five armored vehicles and two Type 95 light tanks of the combat vehicle detachment had also been activated.

Hamura Shuichi walked in front of the iron gate of one of the armored cars, and suddenly turned around and waved his hand to Nagajin Tatsuya, Nagajin Tatsuya and several combat staff officers of the headquarters hurriedly greeted him, and Nagajin Tatsuya at this time did not expect that this side would be the last meeting between him and one of Hamura.

(Dividing Line)

Xu Rui carefully inserted the trigger fuse connected to the wire into a package of explosives, and then carefully put the package of ******** into the Vickers armored car, and put it together with the high-explosive shells, grenades, and sulfur shells piled up everywhere in the car, and then led the other end of the wire out of the shooting hole of the armored combat vehicle.

After all this was done, Xu Rui gently closed the door of the armored car and locked it.

With just such a little effort, in less than a minute, Xu Rui's back was already completely wet.

No matter how outstanding Xu Rui's psychological quality is, he must also pay full attention when installing the trigger bomb fuse, this is really not a joke, as long as one is not careful, detonate the bomb, no matter what kind of soldier you are, it will still blow you into ashes! A high degree of concentration will definitely consume a lot of physical energy, and being as strong as Xu Rui is a little unbearable.

When Xu Rui was doing this, the members of the Wolf Tooth Team stood and watched from afar.

Xu Rui can't be careless, if the bomb explodes accidentally, it will kill him, but don't bury the entire wolf tooth team.

Only Leng Tiefeng always stood by Xu Rui's side and refused to leave.

For Leng Tiefeng, Xu Rui is not as rude as he treats others after all, he can only let him.

Seeing that Xu Rui had installed the trigger fuse on the first armored car, and began to install the trigger fuse on the second armored car full of shells, Leng Tiefeng couldn't hold back anymore and said: "Old Xu, I must admit that the two bombs you prepared for the old devil Hanmura Shuichi are indeed big enough and strong enough, once these two bombs are detonated, the little devil within twenty meters in diameter will definitely be blown up on the spot, and the devil within fifty meters will also be shocked to death, but what I am more curious about is that how can you be sure that the old devil of Hamura Shuichi will definitely come?" What if it's just a co-captain? Or is it his chief of staff? ”

Xu Rui didn't answer and asked, "If you were Hamura Shuichi, would you rest assured that someone else would go?" ”

Leng Tiefeng was dumbfounded, if he was Yumura Shuichi, of course he wouldn't let others go, he would definitely have to go in person.

However, Leng Tiefeng had another question in his heart, and said at the moment: "Even if Yumura Shuichi really comes, how can you lead him to within fifty meters?" ”

Xu Rui laughed twice and said: "Veteran, let me say this, if you are an old devil like Hamura Shuichi, when you arrived here with reinforcements, only to find that there was a heroic Imperial Army soldier who was fighting with the Chinese army, even if you fought to the last man, you still fought to the death, what would you do?" ”

Leng Tiefeng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely call this soldier to me and offer condolences in person." ”

Xu Rui laughed twice, and then said, "But what if this soldier is delirious because of a head injury? What about him turning a deaf ear to Shuichi Hamura's orders and still holding his ground? ”

Leng Tiefeng immediately gasped when he heard this.
