The night is like water, and the winter night is extraordinarily quiet, with only the sound of the cold wind whistling outside the window, and there are hardly many pedestrians on the road. At this time, it should have been a time for everyone to talk and laugh around the stove in the house, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the commander of the North China Army, Yan Tian Liuyi, was not pleasant, and it was even extremely filled with the smell of gunpowder. In this small room, there were the commanders of the eight divisions of the army, a captain of a special combat team, and a general commander of the army. And what these people are talking about now is about the battle of Isoya Shicai's fiasco in Yang Village.

Yantian Liuyi: "Isoya-kun, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer about this failure, now the battle of Xuzhou is about to start, at this critical moment we say that the troops of this imperial army can no longer be affected in any way in morale, do you know how much the loss of Peng County and the defeat of the Bantian brigade have affected our soldiers before?" Now our soldiers are like frightened birds, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. In these few dozens of days, we have said that the imperial army has gone from high morale and invincibility to the current cup bow and snake shadow, trembling and frightened. How do you want me to explain this to His Majesty the Emperor? If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer to this failure, then I will ask His Majesty the Emperor directly for instructions and abolish your position as division commander. ”

Ryosuke Isoya sat at the table, his face was iron-blue, his heart was already full of anger at this moment, he was also very angry about the defeat of this time, and the whole army was annihilated, such a result was really unacceptable to him, and this time he almost put half of the elite troops and advanced weapons of his division into this battle, but in the end he was defeated, and the defeat was incomplete. And he was already angry because of this defeat, but now he is still accepting such criticism, and it is very likely that he will eventually lose his position because of this incident, if this is really the case, it will be a great shame for him.

Ryosuke Isoya said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I hope you can give me another chance to prove myself. I will always remember the lesson of this failure, and I promise there will be no next time. Moreover, in order to make up for the mistakes I have made this time, I will bear the brunt of this campaign against Xuzhou, so I hope that His Excellency the Commander will arrange for me and my division to be the vanguard of this campaign. ”

Yantian Liuyi squinted at him and said, "Don't worry, although you are very incompetent, your tenth division is the elite division of our empire, so I don't need you to say it, I will arrange it the same way this time." And in order to ensure that this battle can be absolutely victorious, I have reported to the higher authorities that they will replenish your 10th Division, and it has been agreed that the additional troops will arrive in some time. This time, the supply force sent from above is the unit of your old friend Seishiro Sakagaki, which is an absolute elite division, and the prestige of the Kwantung Army is the best proof of this, so I hope you can really do what you say this time and win this battle to make up for your previous mistakes. ”

Ryosuke Isoya's eyes flashed with anger, but they quickly disappeared. What he hates the most is that others say that he is incompetent, if he were someone else, maybe he would have rushed up and fought with him, but the person in front of him is the supreme commander of this attack on Xuzhou, he has not yet had the courage to commit a crime, not to mention that there are eight division commanders sitting in the room now, even if there is only one person in Yantian Liuyi, he can't make a mistake.

"Hehe, incompetent people are always incompetent, even if he is given more and more soldiers, in the end he will still bury these heroic soldiers in a foreign land." A sudden voice made Ryosuke Isoya, who was already angry, completely explode.

"Moriki, what do you mean by that?" Ryosuke Isoya stood up from his chair and glared at Kazuichi Moriki on the other side. Kazuichi Moriki, the captain of the Morimu Special Attack Team, although he is only a captain, he has the rank of lieutenant general. It is only because his Senmu special attack team is a specially trained special operations force, and its combat effectiveness is so strong that it can withstand a brigade or regiment. The original intention of the establishment of the Senmu Special Attack Team was to sneak attack and assassinate the military and political dignitaries of various Chinese parties and armies, but after this unit returned from training in Germany, the first task it received was not to assassinate a certain high-ranking Chinese general, but to exterminate a Chinese wolf-tooth special combat team formed by bandits, but now this wolf-tooth special combat team has been incorporated by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and has been transformed into a wolf-tooth special combat brigade. However, even if the Yue Army suffered losses in the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team, and even if the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team was designated as a brigade-level combat unit after joining the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, Mori Mu Kazuichi did not completely ignore this team, in his opinion, a team formed by bandits had no value worthy of his action at all, and the several defeats of the Yue Army were all just the consequences of the commander's incompetence in his opinion.

"Nothing interesting? I'm just very curious, how could a unit of almost 10,000 people in half a division be defeated by a force of only more than 2,000 people, and this force is still composed of bandits, what are bandits, that is, a group of filthy people, and even a group of bandits can't be cleaned up, so what is it that is not incompetence? Kazuichi Moriki ignored the anger on Ryosuke Isoya's face at all, and the corners of his mouth picked up and talked to himself.

Ryosuke Isoya said angrily, "Do you think that Kameda, Akagi, Sakata, and Takeuchi are all incompetent people? Each of them was a top student of the Imperial University, entered the army with excellent grades, and had made countless military exploits. Could it be that you can erase their exploits with a single word? Moriki, although you have received special training in Germany and consider yourself superior, you must not forget that you were still a defeated soldier under Akagi. Have you forgotten all this after a few years in Germany? Sooner or later, everything will reap its own consequences. ”

Originally, there was still a smile on Moriki's face, because he didn't take Isoya's words seriously, but when Isoya Rensuke said that he had been defeated by Akagi Goken's men, the smile on his face disappeared, and he turned very gloomy. This matter is a great shame for him, this time when he came back from Germany, the first thing he thought about was to find Akagi Gangken to avenge the humiliation at the beginning, but when he came to China, he learned that Akagi Gangken was dead, so this matter was over, but on the other hand, he will never be able to repay the revenge of the * humiliation of the year, and this thing that he regarded as the greatest shame will always become someone else's handle, and at this moment Isoya Ryosuke brought up this topic again, although it was very vague, But this incident was an open secret in the entire army at that time, and no one knew about it. So when Ryosuke Isoya said this, Moriki's face was gloomy, but the other division commanders couldn't help but laugh.

"Ryosuke Isoya, if you dare to mention that incident back then, I will definitely make you regret it." Moriki Kazuichi almost jumped out word by word with gritted teeth.

"Hmph, could it be that I, the commander of a division in Isoya Lianjie, am still afraid of you. Since you're so afraid of people mentioning that, you shouldn't be so soft-boned back then. Ryosuke Isoya sneered.

"Isoya, you're looking for death." As soon as the words landed, the person had already rushed to Isoya Ryosuke's body, and raised his hand to hit Isoya Ryosuke with a punch. Where did Ryosuke Isoya think that he would move so quickly, it was like a ghost, and he had no time to react at all, and Kazuichi Moriki's punch slammed into Ryosuke Isoya's face, and suddenly Isoya's entire nose collapsed, and blood flowed from his nostrils.

Ryosuke Isoya staggered back a few steps before he stood firm, wiped a handful of blood from his nose, and roared, "Moriki, you are so bold, you dare to do something to me." I'm going to kill you. As he spoke, he pulled his pistol from his belt.

But just when his hand holding the gun was just about to raise and point at Moriki, Moriki appeared in front of him again, and he didn't see how he made a move, but Isoya Ryosuke's wrist with the gun suddenly hurt, and the pistol in his hand fell to the ground, but the pistol just left his palm, and Moriki's other hand seemed to be waiting below, and the pistol went directly to Moriki's hand, Moriki held the gun, and smiled evilly at the head of Ryosuke Isoya: "I don't know who killed who now?" ”

"Enough, stop me, what kind of system do you have like this, do you still have me, the commander, who dares to be so presumptuous in front of me, Senmu-kun, the empire sent you to Germany for special training, and will not let you deal with your own people after returning from school, but I hope you can help us to conquer the country of China, conquer the whole Asia, and conquer the whole world. I hope you'd better understand this, and from now on, if I discover the skills you used to learn to deal with your own people, I won't let you go. Now that the Great War is imminent, and we have just experienced a defeat, at this time, you are not united, but your own people are fighting your own people, are you still soldiers of the Empire? Are you still worthy of being a soldier of the Empire? I will report this incident to the above truthfully, and as for what punishment you will receive, it depends on your attitude towards you. Seeing that the two generals with the rank of lieutenant general actually fought hard, Yantian Liuyi was furious.

Moriki Kazuichi threw the gun back to him and said with a disdainful expression: "You can do whatever you want, it's best to remove me as the special operations captain above, anyway, I have no interest in the wolf's tooth special operations brigade composed of bandits." ”

Yantian Liuyi said coldly: "Moriki-kun, I'm not Nishio-kun, please don't talk to me in this tone, otherwise I can kill you at any time, but I have the privilege of cutting first and then playing." "Nishio-kun mentioned by Rokuchi Hirata is the former commander of Kazuichi Moriki, and it was he who sent Kazuichi Moriki to Germany for special training, so for Kazuichi Morimi, Nishio is his benefactor and his reborn parents.

After a pause, Yantian Liuyi said again: "The empire sent you to China this time to have only one mission, that is, to eliminate the wolf's tooth special combat team, if you can't complete this mission, then you and your special attack team will no longer have to exist, I think you should understand what I mean." So, from today onwards, I'm going to give you a month, up to one month, and if I don't get the results I want, what to do then, you can do it yourself. ”

Sen Muhe snorted coldly and said, "Your Excellency Commander, don't worry, I will come to see you with that Zhang Dongbei's head in less than a month." After saying that, he didn't salute, and went straight out.
