Chapter 378: Escape
"Yaga!" Hikenji Dohara let out a heart-rending howl, and stumbled under his feet, and if it wasn't for the guards to support him urgently, he was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground.
"Flee to the riverside," this has allowed Zhang Cheng to do it, and if he can find a car in this environment, it can also be seen that the strength of Zhang Cheng's team is very amazing, and Tohara Hikenji also understands that these unknown forces blocking the enemy are very likely to be agents of the "military commanders and the Communist Party" lurking in Shanghai, and it seems that they are all dispatched, with the determination to die to support this rescue, in the case that the car cannot pass, it is impossible to catch up with Zhang Cheng, and the only way to count on the patrol boats on the Huangpu River and the imperial army on the other side of the river defense is to count on it.
Hikenji Tsuchihara pushed away the guards who were supporting him, tried to suppress his emotions, and ordered the signal corps to quickly report the situation here to General Toshiroku Hata, and at the same time asked General Toshiroku Hata to send patrol boats to block the Huangpu River and prevent Zhang Cheng from crossing the river.
It was already half past four in the morning, and it was just over an hour before dawn, and it was not easy to force the Huangpu River in the dark, and if the patrol boats could deploy on the river in time, they should be able to annihilate them on the Huangpu River, and even if they could have a few fishing boats, it would be impossible to compete with the warships, right? In other words, maybe the limited space on the water is the best chance to kill Zhang Cheng?
Thinking of this, Hikenji Tsuchihara calmed down a little, ordered the soldiers to continue the pursuit with all their might, and sat back in the car where the window glass was damaged by the bomb, and ordered the driver to drive directly back to the headquarters.
As soon as he entered the gate of the headquarters, the roaring sound of General Shunliu Hata shook people's ears painfully, and Hikenji Tsuchihara couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum, knowing that there might be unfavorable news coming again, he bowed his head and legs to Shunroku Hata respectfully, but he got Shunroku Hata to cover his face with a good ear scraper, only to fan Tsuchihara Hikenji's eyes and Venus couldn't find the north.
In the chatter and roar of Shunroku Hata, Hikenji Tsuchihara finally knew what was going on, just now, the pursuing soldiers on Binjiang Road reported by phone, just when they cleared the unknown armed forces on the road and rushed to the riverside, three willow leaf fast boats had already sailed to the shore, and the fast boats were actually equipped with diesel engines, and the whole was like an arrow from the string and rushed quickly to the center of the river.
Almost at the same time, news also came from the river defense troops on the other side that they had been attacked by the guerrillas of Tubalu, and that hundreds of people had torn apart their river defenses in a hurry, and were now in a stalemate with them.
Tsuchihara Hiken's face trembled like ashes, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping like rain, he knew how great this responsibility was, the damage caused to the Great Japanese Empire in the last few days was immeasurable, even if it was enough to let them die a hundred times.
At this moment, another staff officer came in to report that the patrol boat had encountered a willow leaf fast boat head-on on the river, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and the heroic imperial army successfully sank it, and all six people on the boat fell into the water, and they were salvaging the body.
"Baga, that's their death squad, and they also salvaged the corpses of bullshit, and ordered them to rush to support Jiang Fang, hurry up!" General Shunroku Hata jumped up and down like an angry monkey.
Because it is a large rear, the troops of the entire East China region also all support Okamura Ningji to attack Wuhan, the rear forces have been seriously insufficient, the entire river defense stretches for dozens of kilometers, and the soldiers of the imperial army are only a brigade, and they usually deal with the small harassment of some local armed forces, blockade of the river or something, but in the face of such a large-scale raid, it seems a little powerless, and the troops cannot be closed in a while, and it is easy to tear the defense line by hundreds of people, once they are allowed to go ashore, enter the lofty mountains and mountains on the opposite bank, it will be very difficult to catch them again.
Not long after the Japanese staff officer went out, he turned back again, holding a telegram in his hand, and his eyes were dodging and dodging for a long time, and he did not dare to say a word.
Hikenji Tsuchihara took the telegram from his hand, glanced at it quickly, and immediately howled in pain, his face was hideous and terrifying, and his voice was miserable and sad, making people wonder if he had died, his father and mother?
The six generals of Shun Hata didn't care about the angry reprimand, and picked up the telegram on the ground in a panic, and after a hurried glance, his originally pale face immediately turned dark blue.
The telegram reported that two fast boats had successfully landed on the north shore, and more than a dozen men and women disembarked from the boats, blended into the flow of people, and poured into the nearby mountains and forests like a whirlwind.
"Yaga!" General Shunroku Hata popped out two words from between his teeth, tore the message in his hand to shreds, and quickly paced around the room.
He seemed to see the rope noose on the gallows and the shiny seppuku saber, and suddenly remembered Sadao Ushijima in the military prison, and everything seemed to be not far from him.
To be able to become the supreme commander of the Japanese army's war of aggression against China, the general Shunroku Hata is obviously not an ordinary person, after pacing back and forth a few times, the agitated mood has slowly calmed down, and immediately ordered to transfer a wing of troops from Shanghai to cooperate with the Japanese army in the river defense to sweep into the mountains, and the defenders of several nearby county towns set up checkpoints along the road, and immediately hunted and killed suspicious people when they found them. At the same time, the Navy sent a squadron of ships to block the river.
Even if he can't succeed in killing Zhang Cheng and his special combat team and recapture Jack, at least they have to be trapped in the mountains and forests in this area, so that he can't return to Yinping Mountain in time to command the battle, and win a chance for Kang Tianfu to capture Yinping Mountain, and at the same time, he also telegraphed Okamura Ningji that the lore plan has been aborted, and the only way to step up the offensive and strive to take Wuhan as soon as possible can be regarded as regaining a little face for this defeat.
Hikenji Tsuchihara didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his subordinates to collect all the information and step up analysis, hoping to find some information conducive to the arrest of Zhang Cheng, and at the same time determine whether Zhang Cheng really left Shanghai?
There is still a fluke in the heart of Tohara Hikenji, he always feels that although Zhang Cheng's plan is impeccable, but letting Jack cross the river by boat is obviously an extremely risky thing, facing the machine guns and naval guns of the imperial army on the river, his special combat team has no advantage, if he had thought that he would escape from the river, and set up a large number of patrol boats on the Huangpu River, waiting for them, it is simply a dead end, but it is a pity that he missed this opportunity, but Zhang Cheng may not be sure that he has no last resort, let Jack take this risk?
But the information collected made his luck completely shattered, the Japanese troops on both sides of the strait found that there was a European and American Zhang Cheng in the team crossing the river, when the sky was already bright, even if the Japanese troops here would look away, it was impossible on the other side, everything seemed to be, Zhang Cheng had really left Shanghai.
The unknown armed forces that stopped the pursuit of the imperial army on Binjiang Road were quickly identified, that is, the agents of the Military Command Bureau and the people "over there" who were active in Shanghai on weekdays, the number of them actually reached 200, most of them had been killed by the imperial army on the spot, a few people were arrested, and after severe torture, some people confessed their identities, but they couldn't even say what this operation was for, they simply obeyed the arrangements of their superiors, and the only thing that had some value was that they obeyed the orders of "Jiang Feng" and Zhu Jun respectively, This operation was a direct order from them.
