Chapter 187: Night Attack on Hefei (5)

"Nani? Are you saying that His Excellency King Minoru Higashikure was tied to the westward locomotive? Ogisu Libing was shocked.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The herald nodded.

Ogizhou Libing was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Baga Yalu, I should have thought that it was the same group of people who attacked the military headquarters and hijacked the train. Immediately ordered to go down, so that the garrison of Tang Laozhuang must pay attention to the safety of His Excellency King Yan, and at the same time find a way to force the train to stop..."

"Hay!"

The order of the Ogishu soldiers soon reached the 104th Wing stationed in the west of Yulao Zhuang, and the wing commander Tashiro Motototoshi Osaku heard the news and asked, "How far is the train from us now?" ”

The staff officer said: "According to the report from the front, they have just passed through the horse oil mill, which is at most five kilometers away from our side. ”

Tashiro Mototoshi looked puzzled: "It's easy to stop the train from passing, but it's even more difficult to stop the train from passing without harming His Excellency King Yan." ”

The staff officer said: "What Your Excellency Dazuo said is very true, this matter is not done well, once His Excellency King Yan is injured, we can only apologize with death..."

When Tashiro Mototoshi heard this, he knew that he had something to say, so he said: "This matter is really not easy to do, no matter what, His Excellency King Yan can't die at our hands, Tanaka-kun, do you have a good plan to deal with the current situation?" ”

Staff officer Tanaka Jiro looked left and right, and muttered a few words in Tashiro Mototoshi's ear, Tashiro Mototoshi frowned and thought for a while: "But isn't this against the order of His Excellency the division commander?" ”

Seeing him behave like this, the staff officer despised him in his heart, and said, "As far as the order of His Excellency the division commander is concerned, the first task is also for us to protect His Excellency King Yan, and the second is to intercept the train. Of course, this is just a reference for me, as for how to make decisions, His Excellency Dazuo has the idea. ”

Tashiro Mototoshi sighed and said, "If it is a strong attack, whether it is blowing up the railway or placing obstacles on the tracks, although it can intercept the train, it will inevitably cause damage to His Excellency King Hiko, and it seems that we have no choice." Well, just do what Tanaka-kun says. ”

"Hay!"

Not to mention that just as Tashiro Motojun was making a decision, Bai Fei and the others were laughing on the train to the west.

Li Hu stretched out his head on the train, looked at the devil soldiers who kept passing along the railway, and praised him: "Li Kuan, your idea is really good, we tied Minoru Higashikuru to the front of the car, and now the devils along the railway line don't dare to stop us at all." ”

Bai Fei also praised: "Yes, now like this, the Japanese army will definitely throw a mouse bogey, but we can't take it lightly, the front is Tang Laozhuang, that is the last stop of the devil along the railway, only by passing there smoothly, can we be considered completely safe." ”

As he spoke, the train was already approaching the devil barracks near Tang Laozhuang, Bai Fei looked forward through the window, and saw that thousands of devils along the railway line in front of him were already in battle, and the machine guns and cannons were all aimed at the train.

Bai Fei's heart sank, and the secret path was not good. At this moment, a gunshot rang out, and the devil had already attacked. Suddenly, gunfire continued on both sides of the railway, and the sound of rumbling shelling was also heard intensively.

Bai Fei was startled, but saw that all the attacks of the devils fell on the other carriages except the front of the car, and the front of the car did not receive any attack at all, obviously because of the fact that Minoru Higashikurenomiya was tied to it.

Although everyone on the train was in a state of strict readiness all the way, at this time, because the Japanese attack was too intensive, seven or eight special combat personnel were still killed at the first time, and more than 20 others were wounded.

"Hurry up! Get through fast! Seeing this, Bai Fei couldn't help but shout and give an order to the front of the train, although he knew that the speed of the train had reached its limit, and at the same time gave the order to the others in the car to fight back. For a time, the special combat team members leaned on the carriages and fired at the Japanese troops on both sides of the railway.

In about two minutes, the train finally passed through Tang Laozhuang without danger. As the train moved farther and farther, the gunfire of the Japanese 104th Wing gradually became quieter.

Wing Commander Tashiro Mototoshi sighed and said to the herald: "Immediately send a telegram to Your Excellency the division commander, saying that because the time to receive the order is too hasty, and in order not to cause harm to His Excellency King Yan, we can only carry out a corresponding attack on the body of the train. ”

After Ogizhou Libing received the telegram, he was angry and said in his heart, although he had expected this result in his heart, but now that he knew the final outcome, he still couldn't help but scold.

After a while, Ogishu gradually calmed down, knowing that the matter was irreparable now, and the only way to deal with the aftermath was to start immediately. Fortunately, Minoru Higashikurenomiya was still alive so far, so he immediately reported the incident to the Central China Front Headquarters and the domestic base camp.

After the news was transmitted back to Japan, Emperor Hirohito was furious and immediately asked the military headquarters to punish the commander-in-chief of the troops stationed in Hefei. Hirohito's other uncle, Hatohiko Asakanomiya, learned of the situation and went to persuade Hirohito: "This is a sudden incident, although the commanders of the various units stationed in Hefei are at fault, but now the Wuhan strategy plan is underway, and it is in a critical period. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the situation, minimize the impact of this incident, and send another person to serve as the chief officer of the Second Army, and continue to proceed according to the original plan. ”

Hirohito said: "That's what you mean?" ”

Hatohiko shook his head and said: "If Your Majesty is not angry, you can punish the corresponding personnel after the Wuhan Raiders, but it is not appropriate to punish them now." ”

Hirohito said: "Then the king of the Higashikure Palace Minoru was plundered, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Hatohiko said: "If my guess is correct, this matter must be done by Bai Fei, the head of the regiment directly under the military police of China..."

Hirohito came to his senses and interrupted him: "You are right, I remember that a few days ago, they also publicly announced that they were going to Hefei to arrest King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace, at that time many people thought that this person was talking big, and now it seems that this person is really not achieving his goal and vowing not to give up..."

Hatohiko said: "Your Majesty must not underestimate this person, I suffered his big loss when I was in Nanjing, I know how powerful they are, it is said that the military department has regarded this person as the number one enemy of the empire, and has also carried out assassination operations against this person, but it failed." ”

Hirohito nodded and said, "Then according to you, how do we deal with this incident, once they make this matter public, we will lose face." ”

Hatohiko thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, now that things have developed to this point, if they want to make this matter public, there is nothing we can do about it. I have two suggestions, Your Majesty, and you should listen to them. First, if His Majesty thinks that the face of the Empire is important, no matter how openly they may be about it, we need to firmly deny it. If we do this, King Minoru of Higashikure Palace will have no use value, and I believe that he will definitely die. ”

Hirohito didn't wait for him to finish, then shook his head and said, "Compared to the face of the empire, I value my uncle's life more. ”

Hatohiko nodded and said, "Then we can only try to contact the other party, and I believe that if our chips are enough, we will definitely consider releasing King Minoru of Higashikure Palace." However, I must remind Your Majesty that the other side is likely to open his mouth and even make such an excessive request as the withdrawal of the Empire's troops from China, and Your Majesty must weigh it..."

In this way, Hirohito was a little embarrassed, and his uncle's life was not worth mentioning compared to Japan's interests in China. So Hirohito frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the case, my uncle must feel honored to sacrifice his life for the country." ”

This is undoubtedly to say, let him die, and don't think about anything else.
