"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, a message from the Gangneung Garrison Brigade!"

Just when the brigade commander was anxiously waiting, a soldier ran over, stood up and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

"Quick! Show me the telegram! ”

Hearing the news, Asai hurriedly said.

Because he was anxious, when he was talking, he didn't even wait for the soldier to hand over the message, and went directly to get it himself.

After the message arrived, Asai glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Sure enough, the worst fears finally happened!

Sure enough, the gas bomb is still gone! Seeing this, Asai's heart sank suddenly.

The whereabouts of such a large number of poison gas bombs are unknown, if you ask from above, even he will not be able to eat and walk around! As soon as he thought of this, the brigade commander Asai couldn't wait to rush to Jiangling County right now and beat that captain to death!

Thankfully, he still has some sanity!

He knew that being able to kill all the two squads and more than a hundred imperial soldiers in the Xiying garrison under the protection of the Gangneung Garrison Brigade so close to each other, and still not firing a single shot, was definitely not something that an ordinary army could do!

Sure enough, all of Asai's speculations were fully elaborated in the following message.

In this telegram, the Gangneung Garrison Brigade truthfully sent over all the things they had detected and some guesses, and after seeing this, Asai's face also showed a look of deep groaning.

A team of at least ten people, all equipped with paratrooper knives, and extremely agile, can kill all the western battalions without alarming the light and dark sentinels, this is definitely not an ordinary army!

At this moment, Asai suddenly thought of a word he had heard when he was in Shanghai: special operations

"Is it possible...... What we encountered this time was a special operations force? Asai thought so, but soon he vetoed it himself: "Impossible! How could there be special forces in the Chinese army! It's absolutely impossible! ”

But if it's really impossible, how can this scene in front of us be explained?

The two squads were wiped out silently, and the whereabouts of eighteen boxes of poison gas bombs are unknown, how can this be explained?

All of this, the skin of Angfu was like a cloud of mist, shrouded in Asai's mind, and he couldn't understand it.

"Why don't you report what happened here to His Excellency Okamura Ninji of the Second Army?" Asai suddenly thought of this idea.

He understands that the whereabouts of eighteen boxes of poison gas bombs are unknown, and such a big thing is absolutely impossible to hide, rather than waiting for the upper authorities to be held accountable and punished at that time, it is better to take the initiative to explain the problem, and by the way, report all the reasons before and after, and hand them over to His Excellency Okamura Ninji, and let him decide!

In this case, maybe he will have a chance to live!

Thinking of this, Asai hurriedly summarized and sorted out the telegrams reported by the Gangneung Garrison Brigade, and then he reorganized the language and personally sent a telegram to Okamura Ninji of the Second Army.

……

An extraordinarily long telegram quickly reached the headquarters of the Second Army.

Shanghai Central China Dispatch Army Command

Commanders Shunroku Hata and Ninji Okamura were drinking sake in a quiet room, and outside the window, a bare cherry blossom tree.

Shunroku Hata took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Okamura-kun, this wine you brought is authentic from Tokyo, I haven't drunk it since I came to Shina, and now I thank you for your blessing, thank you so much!" ”

"It's just a pot of sake! If Your Excellency the Commander is willing, I'm afraid there will be countless people who will be willing to offer you their sake! Okamura said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shunroku Hata shook his head with a smile, sighed and said, "This is different!" Although they are all the same sake, the one sent by Gangmura-kun and the others are two different flavors! Although the sake given by those people is also authentic in Tokyo, I can't drink the taste of my hometown, and only the wine sent by Okamura-kun can make me taste it so much! ”

"The wine is still the same wine, it's just the mood of His Excellency the Commander!" Okamura Ninji said.

"That's it! Let's not talk about these problems! Let's drink! Drink! Shunroku Hata said: "When the time comes, I will be looking for a large place, build a manor, and plant a large number of cherry blossom trees outside, and when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, I will use the petals to make sake, and I must get drunk with Okamura-kun when the time comes!" ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji also said with an expectant face: "I'm very much looking forward to that day coming as soon as possible!" ”

"There will be, this day will not be far away!" Shunroku Hata said.

Just as the two were talking, at this time, an officer suddenly ran over, interrupted the leisure between them, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Gangcun, the commander of the Asai Brigade of the Asai Detachment in the Shishou Region has sent a telegram!" ”

Shunroku Hata was a little displeased when he was interrupted, but after Okamura Ninji heard this, he sighed lightly, and then said, "What did he do when he sent a message?" Show me! ”

The soldier handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Ninji, and he glanced at it casually, but his expression, which was still indifferent, suddenly became solemn, and he almost took the case.

"What's wrong?" Shunroku Hatata, who noticed the change in Okamura Ninji, immediately asked.

"In this message, Asai said that the Gangneung Garrison Brigade had an accident, and the two imperial squads stationed in Xiying were attacked by a group of unknown people, causing all the jade to shatter!" Okamura Ninji said solemnly.

"Just two squads?" Hearing this, the heart that Shunroku Hata had originally carried was immediately put down, two squads are just two teams, and they will be destroyed if they are destroyed, so it would be good to let the Gangneung Garrison Brigade investigate more and find out the murderer.

With only two squads, why was Okamura Ningji alarmed?

Shunroku Hata was a little unimpressed, and after noticing the other party's face, Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, do you remember the 'Apocalypse' plan?" The Xiying garrison is responsible for guarding most of the poison gas bombs in the 'Apocalypse' plan, and now the Xiying has been attacked, and the whereabouts of eighteen boxes of poison gas bombs are unknown! ”

"Nani?"

Hearing this, this time Shunroku Hata was finally moved, he looked at Okamura Ningji's face, and said with a solemn face: "What you said is true? ”

"This is still false, Asai has already sent all the original texts of the matter, Your Excellency Commander, take a look for yourself!" Okamura Ninji said as he handed the telegram in his hand to Shunroku Hatata.
