Chapter 50: Street Fighter (Finale) (Part 2)
The Special Marines regrouped in the streets, and the officers stood in the front row loudly cheering up the soldiers, trying to restore the lost morale.
The damaged vehicles had to remain in place until the naval gendarmes in charge of the investigation arrived, and for this reason the Marines did not collect the bodies of the dead soldiers. The officers and soldiers covered the back of the truck compartment with a large canvas to hide the bloody scene at the scene of the accident.
After the assembly, the soldiers began to board the car in the whole team, and everything seemed to be going smoothly, but just before the convoy started to bypass the accident scene and drove out a hundred meters, suddenly a convoy drove from south to north along the North Sichuan Road, and a Dodge sedan at the beginning stopped diagonally in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the Marine Special Marine Corps.
"Sir, it's the Army again." The Nine Ghost Army Cao turned his head sideways and reported.
"Nani?" Takeda tightened the belt around his waist and quickly buttoned the placket of his pants.
"It's the Army's convoy, Your Excellency." The adjutant who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Captain Kimura, reported.
Takeda straightened the short sword at his waist and looked up from the window of the car to see if it was someone from the Army, and the front of the Dodge car still had the Army's Venus logo on the front.
"Kuno, are all the red deer in the army crazy today?" Takeda angrily pressed the doorknob and opened the door.
The 1st Marine Squad, which was serving as the headquarters guard, jumped out again and, led by the second lieutenant Okamoto, lined up in front of the commander's car.
"What do you want to do, we are the Shanghai Navy Special Marine Corps, so let's get out of the way quickly." Okamoto strode towards the Dodge parked in the middle of the road, holding the dagger in his hand.
The sedan was followed by five military trucks, filled with army gendarmes wearing black collar badges, who quickly jumped out of the cars and took up a formation next to the sedan. When the gendarmes were all lined up, the door in the Dodge passenger seat opened, and a major officer jumped out of it.
"Who are you?" Okamoto stopped, and subconsciously he sensed that something was wrong.
The army junior strode to the back door of the Dodge, glanced back at the second lieutenant with contempt, and then respectfully bowed and opened the car door, followed by a general wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, and stepped out of the car with a calm attitude.
"Salute!" The army commander shouted the order, and at the same time, the army gendarmes lined up on the side, all of them stood up and saluted the lieutenant general.
"It seems to be Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army." Kimura ran behind Takeda and whispered.
"Of course I do." Takeda glared at the adjutant, then tugged at the front of his uniform, held the scabbard of his short sword, and strode up to meet him.
"Yo! Takeda. Shigeru Sawada stood in front of the car and loudly greeted the commander of the landing team.
Sawada can be so casual, but Takeda can't be ignorant of the rules, in the Japanese army, the major general and the lieutenant general are only one level apart, but there is a world of distance between the two. For example, Tojo, the Minister of War in the current Konoe Cabinet, was only a lieutenant general at this time, which was the same as the commander in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Takeda respectfully saluted the other party.
"Hmm." Seeing that the other party was so formal, Sawada also sank his face and solemnly returned the military salute.
"Sawada-sama, what happened, why did you bring someone to block my way." Takeda asked, taking two steps.
"Takeda-san, you should be able to guess why." Sawada held the scabbard of the saber in his backhand and stared at Takeda's eyes with a look on his face that seemed to be a smile rather than a smile.
"Is it because of the accident that just happened? The scene has been secured by me, and now we are waiting for the naval gendarmerie to come and investigate. As for Watanabe's issue, I am about to report it to the Dispatch Fleet Command, but because of the importance of the matter, I hope that Sawada-sama will not intervene. Takeda's tone became tough.
"Watanabe is an army officer, and even if he commits a crime, it should be investigated and dealt with by our army gendarmerie, and the navy has no right to detain him. Now, I would like to ask you to hand over to me Watanabe Daisa, and I promise that the Army will conduct an impartial investigation, and if it is proved that Osa's guilt is indeed guilty, the Army will not hesitate to punish him with the severest punishment. As for the officers and men of the Navy who died in the accident just now, in order to express their apologies, the army will also give their families a certain amount of consolation money. Lieutenant General Sawada said coldly.
"Now hand them over, Major General Takeda. I have to rush to the Bund to attend to official business, so please don't waste my precious time. After speaking, Sawada also raised his wrist: "Give you two minutes." ”。
"Nani!" Takeda was stunned by the other party's shameless face. For the first time in his life, Major General Takeda began to wonder if Japan could really win the war.
"No, no, no, this should be just a special case, there are still a lot of smart people in the army, the horse dung is lucky, you have to come on." In order to keep his three views, Takeda unconsciously began to cheer for the army officers.
"You only have a minute and a half, Major General Takeda, hurry up and give the order." Seeing the rear admiral standing there in a daze, Sawada Shigeru reminded impatiently.
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, Commander. I beg your pardon for not being able to accede to your request, but now Watanabe Daisa is a prisoner arrested by the Marines, and of course it will be guarded by our Marines. Even the investigation of the incident must be led by the naval gendarmerie, and the army gendarmerie can only assist at most.
If you have any questions, you can go and negotiate with the Dispatch Fleet Command, and I will not hand over the prisoners to the Army until I have received orders from my superiors. Sorry, but we are still on official business, so please get out of the way immediately. "Takeda is also out of the way, it is a matter of his own net worth and future, and on this issue at the moment, he must not make the slightest concession.
"Red deer! Do you understand the seriousness of this, the naval detachment wants to interfere with the jurisdiction of the army? Sawada yelled.
"How to deal with it is a matter for the superior commander to consider, Your Excellency Lieutenant General, I only know that I must not let go of the prisoners who have been caught." Takeda's attitude was extremely resolute.
"Red deer!" Sawada was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Takeda in the face.
"Damn fellow!" It's not fun for a while, and Sawada slapped it with another backhand.
In the past few hours, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru has been under too much pressure, and now he has met Major General Takeda who dares to disobey him to his face, and His Excellency the Commander of the Thirteenth Army can no longer control his emotions.
Takeda was stunned by the first slap and has not been beaten since he was promoted to school officer.
"Jackshaw! Who do you think you are! Stinky horse manure! Seeing that the other party was backhanded again, the rear admiral immediately raised his hand to intercept it.
"Red Deer Noro!" The other party had the courage to resist and not say anything, but he dared to fight back, and the lieutenant general was completely out of control, and he raised his arm and punched Takeda in the face.
"Cuso!" The rear admiral didn't expect the other party to continue to move, but he was smashed on the bridge of his nose by this punch. He was beaten and staggered back a few steps one after another.
Takeda struggled to stand still, and the rear admiral shook his head and reached out to wipe his nose, only to find that his gloves were covered in blood.
"Why! Department....! Takeda roared angrily and rushed towards Sawada, knocking Sawada to the ground in one fell swoop, and then the Marine Corps commander rode on the body of the lieutenant general and swung his fist into a mess.
The Japanese officers and men present were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they watched as two senior Japanese army and navy generals scuffled on the ground like two street vendors.
"That's not going to work, hey, what are you doing! Don't pull them away. Miyamoto Nakasa was the first to react, and he ordered Shaosa on the army side.
"Huh! Oh, yes! You guys come with me. Shao Zuo also looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly beckoned a few gendarmes to rush forward.
The three strong Marines hugged their commander, but Rear Admiral Takeda refused to give up, roaring like a beast and trying to kick the impudent ball of horse manure on the other side.
Because of his age, Sawada Shigeru suffered some losses in the hand-to-hand combat just now, and if it wasn't for the adjutant holding his arm, he would have almost pulled out his saber and killed the hateful octopus in front of him.
Although the two of them were pulled apart, their mouths were still "Miscellaneous Cultivation!" Red deer! Confused! (Bastard!) A sucker! Fool! The shouting and scolding continued, and the dignified Japanese Imperial Army General became like two elementary school students at this time.
Most of the people present thought that this was the end of the matter, and who would have thought that this was just the beginning. The army gendarmes thought that they could not watch their commanders being beaten, and they did not know where they had the courage to go, and the military police captain who led the team was ready to come forward to arrest Major General Sawada.
The marines were already full of depression, and when they saw this kind of person who came to the door to die, of course they would not let it go in vain, so all kinds of military hats and steel helmets flew all over the scene, and the Japanese army and navy were in a mess on the Sichuan Road.
