Chapter 1421 The war escalates

Ningbo, located in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River in eastern Zhejiang, about 140 kilometers east of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, connects Jiangsu and Anhui provinces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the north, connects Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and borders the East China Sea in the east. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ninety-five years ago, China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanjing, Ningbo was opened as one of the five treaty ports, the north bank of the Ningbo River was designated as a place of residence for foreigners, and various countries also set up consulates in Ningbo. Under the stimulation of foreigners, Ningbo businessmen rose one after another, with long sleeves and good dancing, and their footprints were all over China, creating the name of the Ningbo Gang.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ningbo had two main routes: one was the Shanghai-Ningbo route, that is, the Shanghai-Ningbo route; The other is the Wushantou line, which is the route from Ningbo to Zhenhai, Ningbo to Dinghai, Ningbo to Xiangshan, Ningbo to Haimen, and Ningbo to Wenzhou. The goods in and out of Ningbo are mainly transported from Shanghai by the Shanghai-Ningbo line, and then transported by Ningbo or transferred out through the Wushantou line. After the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 1, the main channel of the Yangtze River was the main channel of the giant oil tanker, and in fact, the Shanghai-Ningbo line no longer existed.

In the early morning of the 16th, the eastern sky just showed a glimmer of light, twenty *** soldiers, fully armed, lined up in a neat queue, from the military camp on the west bank of the Fenghua River in the Tianfeng Tower in the south of the city, all the way to the intersection of Changchun Road, the ring road in the south and the Yinfeng Road leading to Yinzhou and Fenghua.

After the team stopped at the Yinfeng intersection, the officer who led the team gave an order, and the officers and soldiers quickly moved two wooden fences from the sentry box next to the road, blocked the road, and then automatically divided into two columns, ten on each side, and stood along the fence, leaving only space for one car in the middle of the road.

From the beginning of two or three years, Ningbo began to dismantle the city wall, to three years, the whole city except for the dilapidated Qingyun Tower and the drum tower, the rest of the old city wall was all demolished, the Ningbo government used the solid city foundation, along the moat, built the ring road at the foot of the city wall, Changchun Road is named after the Changchun Gate in the south of the city.

After standing for about a quarter of an hour, there was still no nearby people passing by, and Zhang Dacai, the commander of the garrison platoon in charge of today's duty task, was a little strange, he raised his head and looked at the sky: "What day is it today?" Why don't the common people go into the city to catch the market? ”

Wang Erniu, the leader of the first squad, scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it's the farming, these days the villages near and far are busy with the autumn harvest, if it is not impossible to ask for leave, I also want to go back to Fenghua's hometown to threak in the grain, take advantage of the good weather to dry it early, and collect and store it, otherwise if it encounters continuous rain, it will be troublesome!" ”

"But it shouldn't be that there is no one......"

Zhang Dacai stroked his chin and said suspiciously.

Li Xiaoshi, the second squad leader standing in front of the fence on the other side, speculated: "Maybe it is related to the opening of the army yesterday afternoon, the people are afraid of fighting, they are hiding at home and dare not go out, they don't want to think about it, if the *** person really fights, is it useful to hide at home as a turtle with a shrunken head...... By the way, what the hell did you say was going on in the south? Even the 16th Division was transferred south......"

"Who knows, it is said that until now, I haven't even seen a ghost shadow, but this matter was determined by the Anjia Army Air Force, it should be right, this little *** is worthy of being called a devil, and it is really elusive and terrifying...... Ah, people are coming, don't talk, the company commander has explained, everyone should keep their eyes bright, don't let the devils get into the city! The platoon commander Zhang Dacai stood up straight and greeted loudly.

I saw some people carrying baskets, or pushing chicken carts, or carrying firewood slowly appeared in the distance, along the wide Yinfeng Road, and rushed to Ningbo City.

Although the sky has not yet fully opened, the sight is basically unobstructed, and some people are pouring out of the nearby villages, picking or lifting, and sending the fresh vegetables that should have been harvested last night to Ningbo City and sell them to merchants and citizens.

As for the newly produced rice, the staff of the Jiangnan Group will come to negotiate with them, and the farmers can sell their harvest at a good price without leaving home. Since the beginning of this model the year before, the farmers have tasted the sweetness, are reluctant to sell rice grain to the rice merchants in Ningbo, the price given by the rice merchants is not only far lower than that of the Jiangnan Group, but also if it encounters a bumper harvest year, it will desperately suppress the price of rice. In the past few years, the good reputation of Jiangnan Group and An Jiajun has been spread in Zhejiang and even the whole country, and it can be described as a Buddha in ten thousand families. Many rice merchants whose interests have been damaged, although they grit their teeth with hatred, but the backstage of Jiangnan Group is An Jiajun, who dares to touch the moldy head of An Jiajun, who is now in the limelight and in the limelight? Therefore, most of the rice merchants have changed their careers, leaving a small number to follow the price of Jiangnan Group, plus the income from retail, the business can barely be maintained, but if you want to make huge profits, it is obviously impossible!

The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the crowd poured towards the intersection of Yinfeng Road and Changchun Road.

I don't know why, Zhang Dacai always feels that something seems to be wrong with today's situation, but after a closer look, he can't see anything wrong.

Soon, the first wave of people came to Zhang Dacai and other officers and soldiers.

At this time, a chicken cart that was walking in front of it overturned on its side, and the big basket piled on the cart fell to the ground, and the eggplant, cowpea, pepper, cucumber and tomato that were still stained with dew in the basket fell to the ground. The man pushing the cart made an "oops", hurriedly straightened the chicken cart, and then leaned over to pick up vegetables and vegetables that covered the road.

Platoon commander Zhang Dacai saw that the chicken cart and baskets, coupled with fresh vegetables all over the ground, almost blocked the small intersection between the two rows of fences, and more and more pedestrians were waiting to pass behind, and many people even began to shout and curse. Zhang Daniu was extremely worried, hurriedly left the queue, came to the side of the chicken bus, and took the initiative to greet: "Fellow, you are not careful, come, I will help you ......"

Before the words fell, a sharp pain in the abdomen came, Zhang Dacai lowered his head in surprise, only to see that the kidney had been pierced by a sharp dagger, Zhang Dacai pointed to the man who was squatting on the ground, sneering, and his hands were still stained with blood, and said intermittently: "You...... You ......"

The man stood up and grinned at Zhang Daniu: "Stupid Chinese people can't even see through such a simple disguise, your country and nation really shouldn't have such a fertile and vast land!" ”

Zhang Dacai covered his stomach and fell to the ground unwillingly, at this time, the nineteen officers and soldiers on both sides of the fence had been put to the ground by the devils who were close to him.

Before his consciousness disappeared, Zhang Dacai remembered that something was wrong just now - the people who entered the city today were all stout men, and there were no big girls, little daughters-in-law, old ladies and children, who were often seen on weekdays, but at this time it was too late to regret it, his eyes widened, his head tilted, and he passed away.

The people quickly dragged the twenty officers and soldiers to the Moon Lake, which was not far from the crossroads, stripped off the clothes of the deceased officers and soldiers, threw the naked corpses into the lake, and then changed into the bloody military uniforms, and soon, twenty *** officers and soldiers appeared at the intersection again.

The rest of the devils continued to put on a humble smile and walked along the street towards the city, and the citizens of Ningbo who got up early along the way were dragged into the house by them one by one, and soon these demons came out with blood and continued to move forward.

This same scene is constantly staged at the intersection of Ningbo Wangjing Road, Yongfeng Road, Heyi Road, Dongdu Road and other ring roads built along the old city wall, and then takes each intersection as the first and continues to sweep towards the central area of Ningbo City.

......

Yongjiang North Wharf, here is the most important wharf area in Ningbo.

Yongjiang River is a natural deep-water port, from the mouth of the river to Ningbo City, can pass 5,000 tons of cargo ships, which is why Ningbo has been an important foreign trade port of China since ancient times. With the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the North Wharf was significantly strengthened, not only the five river defense fortresses that had been built in the wharf area four years earlier, but also the barbed wire fence and the construction of reinforced concrete fortifications in the wharf area bordering the city.

When the Songhu War broke out, Shanghai's foreign trade window was closed, and Ningbo temporarily replaced Shanghai and became the largest foreign trade port in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Commercial houses from the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and other countries took away Chinese tea, raw silk, tung oil, pig bristles, and bicycles, motorcycles, electronic appliances and other products from Syria from here and sold them all over the world.

It is precisely because Ningbo Port is an important bridge for communication with the outside world that the Nanjing Nationalist Government attaches great importance to defense, and not only has a naval defense regiment and artillery team of the Central Navy been arranged in Zhenhai Fortress and Jintang Fortress at the mouth of the Yongjiang River, but also has a river defense fortress in Ningbo City.

The specific deployment is that the Zhenhai Fortress is equipped with the Second Naval Coastal Defense Regiment and the Second Artillery Team, the Jintang Fortress is the Third Naval Coastal Defense Regiment and the Third Artillery Team, and the Ningbo North Wharf is the Fourth Naval Coastal Defense Regiment and the Fourth Artillery Brigade. All the fortress artillery teams of the Navy are equipped with ten Krupp 88SKL45 guns, and the naval coastal defense unit with all-German armament is known as an elite army built according to the tax police regiment, with outstanding combat effectiveness.

Coupled with Ningbo City's own garrison regiment and regular army garrison, Ningbo's defense can be called impregnable, so Ningbo citizens are still very confident in their safety.

The sky is bright, the eastern sky is dyed with a touch of red glow, and it seems that today will be a good day.

In the urban area where Ningbo City is divided into three major areas by the Yongjiang River, the Yuyao River, and the Fenghua River, the officers and men of the Ningbo Garrison Regiment stationed in the three places were basically eliminated by the devils who sneaked in.

Ningbo citizens who want to go out, just pushed open the door and were politely told that there were *** people in the city, and the Statistical Survey Bureau of the Military Commission is currently performing official duties to arrest the spies, and the citizens are requested to cooperate, otherwise they will be arrested as *** people spies.

The people of Ningbo, who did not know what was going on, had no choice but to lock themselves in their homes and check the situation outside through the cracks in the door from time to time, but those people who claimed to be military commanders at the corner of the street did not go for a long time, so they had to wait for these people to leave with full doubts, and then they would know what was going on when they made a little inquiry.

Now let's talk about the origin of these devils.

On the night of the 26th of last month, a devil's special operations brigade quietly entered the southeast land of Zhejiang from the Shepan Waterway in the East China Sea by landing craft, and covered up its whereabouts through more than ten fishermen's villages along the coast, and then changed into fishermen's clothes, and in the name of selling fresh fish, mixed into the Jian Jump Guard Station, and cleaned up all the 486 officers and soldiers of a border guard regiment stationed in the guard post (the real data, the rest of the shortages were all paid by the commander), and then welcomed the large army ashore.

Different from the Jianjian Port in later generations, the historical Jianjian Port is located in Haikou, choking the throat of water and land transportation, and has always been an important place for coastal defense. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a thousand households were set up; In the 40th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang, a general of Ningshaotai, resisted the Japanese and jumped off the city, and in the eighth year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, a naval division was set up to garrison and guard and patrol the sea. In the fifth year of the Republic of China, the first prime minister visited Jianjian Hong Kong, and praised the unique conditions of this natural deep-water port, and later in his "National Founding Strategy", Jianjian was positioned as the "important port of industry" and "the ninth fishing port" that needs to be vigorously built.

Of course, as we all know, the plans of the former prime minister always fell on paper, until now in the 26th year of the Republic of China, except for a guard post and a small port, the rest of Jianqiao Port is still a barren fishing village. In any case, however, the Japanese had a deep-water port as a base for their advance, and soon five mixed brigades began to land in southeastern Zhejiang.

Among the troops that went ashore, there was an elite unit formed after the 33-year Great Wall War of Resistance and specially formed for the characteristics of the Anjia Army-the Zhutu Special Attack Brigade. The members of the brigade are all students with language talents drawn from various secondary schools and universities.

Half of the 20,000 student soldiers were eliminated after a year of hellish military skills training and language training, and the remaining soldiers were not only skilled as individual soldiers, but also proficient in Chinese Mandarin. Subsequently, after three months of continuous development, after establishing absolute loyalty to the emperor, these student soldiers were sent to various parts of China in various capacities to familiarize themselves with local customs, learn local languages, cultures and customs, and learn some unknown secrets.

In this way, after two years of training after joining the WTO, some student soldiers who had taken root in the local area remained as Chinese, and the remaining 8,928 student soldiers returned by boat to officially become members of the newly formed Pig Assault Special Attack Brigade.

Don't think that this is the end of the process and that you can send this unit into battle, this is just the beginning of training.

Subsequently, this unit was transferred to the ** laboratory of the Ryukyus, Taiwan, Korea, Northeast and other colonies, and after watching the professional medical personnel do it, they brutally carried out experiments on dissecting living people, including men, women and children, in order to understand the structure of the human body, understand which parts can be killed with one blow, so that the opponent will lose consciousness in the shortest possible time. After weeding out 1,114 people whose psychological quality was not up to the mark, this mysterious unit was quietly sent to Australia by transport ship, where it used the vast land to conduct final combat training.

In the six-month-long assessment, 529 people were killed, but this terrifying force has caused hundreds of white villages in the northeast corner of Australia to disappear, and tens of thousands of people are missing.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, this force of 7,285 men immediately arrived in Taiwan by ship and waited for the opportunity to enter China to fight.

During this time in Taiwan, they were not idle, once again disguised as Chinese, wandering between various villages in Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei, spying on the people's conditions in various places, because their every move was no different from Chinese, so no one doubted their identity, and many even cited them as confidants because of their angry complaints, attacks and agitatory words against the colonial government, and confided many secrets with them, hoping to attract them to join their own organizations.

By the time this unit landed at Jianqiao Port in southeastern Zhejiang, 11 non-governmental anti-Japanese organizations in Taiwan were exposed, and the colonial authorities, on the basis of information provided by the Zhutu Special Attack Brigade, had arrested 1,426 anti-Japanese righteous soldiers, whose heads are now hanging on the heads of cities in various counties in Taiwan in order to deter the Taiwan people and remind them who is the true owner of this land.

They first disguised themselves as officers and soldiers stationed in the Jianjian Jump Guard Station, and in the name of being ordered to assist in the defense, they infiltrated the Haiyou Guard Station and the Qimen Guard Station, took advantage of the situation to make trouble, and cooperated with the outside to take the two most important ports on the front line of Sanmen Bay in one fell swoop.

In this way, using all kinds of clever camouflage, the Zhutu Special Attack Brigade attacked the city, and quietly and silently took Haining County and Tiantai County in succession, and occupied more than 40 villages and towns in various parts of the Tiantai Mountains.

The Pig Turquoise Special Assault Brigade is well aware of the character of the Chinese who do not want to cause trouble, so that all the landed troops change into *** clothing, close the gates of the county town, and then station at various checkpoints and passes, and then match one or two soldiers of the Pig Turquoise Special Assault Brigade in these key places, and the work of negotiating with the people is all responsible for the soldiers of the Pig Turf Special Assault Brigade, and if you encounter the timid, if you are too curious and run to ask, inform the area where there are *** people's traitors, and it is necessary to temporarily close the search for a period of time.

Just imagine, all the people see in their eyes are *** troops, where would they think that *** people are around them? In order to avoid setting themselves on fire, the residents of the city naturally obediently returned to their homes, while the people in the countryside returned to their villages, and naturally there was no refugee flow.

And the troops sent by Liu Jianxu, commander of the Tenth Group Army, several times, are really sad enough, how did they know that the gentry and people who welcomed in front of the city gate or on the side of the road were actually played by the soldiers of the Pig Turf Special Brigade? These natural actors, first sent real money to the labor army, and then set up a flowing water seat, invited the soldiers to appreciate their faces, and then suddenly made trouble during the banquet, and successively several groups of troops, and the whole army was wiped out without even splashing a splash.

Originally, the Zhutu Special Assault Brigade wanted to continue to use this effective means to sweep the entire Zhejiang, but the base camp suddenly came with an order, due to the resurgence of the war in Manchuria, it was unable to provide sufficient supplies to the country, and the domestic food was now in an emergency. Now that the southern part of the Yangtze River is in the autumn harvest season, the Zhutu Special Attack Brigade should do everything possible to assist the main force to take Ningbo Port, and then sweep the eastern Zhejiang Plain, and transport all the autumn grain just harvested by the people of China to the first place to solve the urgent need.

Thus, there was the development of this raid on Ningbo.

In fact, the Zhutu Special Brigade passed through the Tiantai Mountain Pass three days ago, entered the mountainous and hilly areas such as Baiyan Mountain, Wanghai Peak, and Sanxi in eastern Zhejiang, sneaked all the way, slaughtered villages and killed people when encountering villages, entered the surrounding areas of Ningbo last night, slaughtered all the nearby villagers, and then cleverly camouflaged, and the raid once again achieved miraculous results.

In a two-story building more than 300 meters away from the Ningbo North Wharf, Major General Hattori, the commander of the Pig Turf Special Assault Brigade who looked like a teacher and looked like a teacher, pointed to the dock area opposite where the fortress was strong and the muzzles of the guns could be seen reflecting in the sunlight from time to time, and asked:

"Aoki-kun, are you sure that all the people in it ate all the pork you sent, and now they are all dead? Presumably you also know that attacking fortifications is not the specialty of my brigade, and every soldier of Zhutu is cultivated by the empire with a huge amount of money, and it must not be consumed in this kind of place. ”

Aoki Gangchang, who was also dressed in a long shirt, entered Ningbo as a victim of the Shandong disaster in three or four years and worked in the famous local Tianxiang Restaurant.

Maybe God didn't open his eyes, the only daughter of the restaurant owner, who was as fat as a pig, actually fell in love with Aoki who was named Mu Gang, one was a concubine, and the other was a ghost, and the two sides naturally hit it off, so Aoki became the son-in-law of the owner of Tianxiang Restaurant, who had a huge industry and served as the vice president of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce. In the second year after marriage, the boss had a bizarre stroke, and then his daughter also accidentally fell into the lake and drowned while swimming in Moon Lake.

No one doubts that after marriage, Aoki, who loves his husband and wife, responds to his wife's requests, and is dedicated to his father-in-law, especially when his wife's body is fished out of the Moon Lake, Aoki is so grief-stricken that he faints several times and dies of hard work, which touches everyone and becomes a model husband praised by everyone in Ningbo City.

In this way, Aoki inherited more than 20 properties of Tianxiang Restaurant and his father-in-law in Ningbo City in a legal capacity, took over the identity of the vice president of his father-in-law's Chamber of Commerce, and officially became a member of Ningbo's high society. Subsequently, Tianxianglou secretly placed a large number of personnel eliminated from the Zhutu special attack team to build an intelligence network that only belonged to the Zhutu itself, and Aoki himself was also exceptionally promoted to the Japanese Army Zhongzuo, in charge of the Zhutu intelligence organization in Zhejiang.

No one knows that this great benevolent man, who is keen on public welfare and charity, is polite on the surface, and smiles at everyone, but in fact harbors evil intentions. Therefore, when the task of "clearing the garrisons of the Ningbo fortresses" was issued, the special brigade of the pig was not hesitant to begin to implement the plan.

After lunch yesterday, Aoki, in the name of vice president of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, convened a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the issue of how to reward the officers and men of the navy's coastal defense units and artillery units who defend their homes and the country and defend the security of Ningbo's coastal defense. Businessmen are heavy on profits, and baht must be compared, who wants to take money out of their own pockets? Especially in this era of war and chaos, every penny of liquidity has to be carefully carried in order to run away at any time, so after Aoki's question was thrown, the hall was silent, and no one agreed.

Aoki naturally knew what these old foxes thought, and immediately said that this labor and military expenses would be paid by himself, the vice president, and all the colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce only needed to name them, which immediately attracted praise from everyone. Therefore, Aoki asked all the staff of the Chamber of Commerce to name on the three prayer posts, purchased a large amount of grain and oil in the name of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, and bought more than ten pigs from the farmer, slaughtered them in public, divided them into three parts equally, and then began the labor army performance.

The joint construction of the military and the people is originally the proper meaning of the question, the army is stationed in a place, and it is inseparable from the support of all aspects, especially the Chamber of Commerce, which supplies all the materials of the troops, who dares to slack off? Therefore, when the labor army contingent holding high the plaque and beating gongs and drums came to the front of the North Wharf, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Navy and the Captain of the Fourth Artillery Corps stationed at the North Wharf personally greeted them, and the guests and hosts had a cordial and friendly conversation.

On behalf of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, Aoki encouraged the garrison to protect the safety of Ningbo City, bravely resist the Japanese invasion, and sent 10,000 oceans as military funds.

The military said that it would certainly live up to the high expectations of Ningbo's fathers and elders and would unite as one to ensure Ningbo's prosperity and stability.

After Aoki left, the commander of the 4th Regiment of the Navy and the 4th Artillery Regiment did not lose their due vigilance, first tested the poison with a silver needle, and then tested it with the dogs fed by the camp food group, and found that there was nothing abnormal.

No one knows, what Aoki laid on the pork is a compound poison that is circulated in the ancient ninjutsu used by the Pig Assault Brigade, simply put, it is to eat a certain one alone, and the body will not have problems, but if you swallow several poisons in the stomach at the same time, it will become a deadly poison. Moreover, this poison has an incubation period of five hours in the body, and does not arouse the vigilance of others because of its sudden attack, so the commanders of the naval coastal defense regiments and artillery units, although cautious, are not immune to being attacked.

Before sunset, Aoki Gangchang, in the name of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, sent pork, grain and oil and other condolences to the Zhenhai Fortress stationed at the mouth of the Yongjiang River and the Jintang Fortress (now Beilun Port) locked the Jintang Waterway in the East China Sea. If it weren't for the fact that the president of the Chamber of Commerce was Yu Qiaqing, who was also the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that everyone would have elected Aoki, who likes to be the head of the injustice, to be the president.

Reflecting on what he did last night and finding that there were no loopholes, Aoki Gomasa said confidently:

"Last night, the entire North Wharf barracks area was full of jubilation, I sent people to keep an eye on it, the soldiers in charge of guarding at the three exits of the camp changed twice, and the last group of people who changed guards were also full of red faces, full of nonsense, what is it if it is not a drunken carnival? Rest assured, General Hattori, I know what the consequences of my mistake will be, and Aoki is willing to take responsibility for it! ”

"Yo Xi!"

Hattori Hanbei patted Aoki Tsuyomasa on the shoulder appreciatively: "Aoki-kun, I'm proud of you, the years in Shina, not only did not wear out your loyalty to the empire and the pursuit of your career, but on the contrary, you were more strict with yourself, constantly studying the business, and even our Hattori family's difficult to deploy the 'Iga secret poison' also let you deploy it, I am proud to have such an excellent subordinate as you!" ”

After speaking, the Hattori half-guard issued an order to the staff officers beside him, first send a team to the dock to investigate the situation, if what Aoki said is true, immediately enter the dock area, and then send a wing to continue to the mouth of the Yongjiang River, occupy Zhenhai Fortress and Jintang Fortress, and welcome the landing of the fleet.

It wasn't until the commander of the Hattori Brigade was busy that Aoki Gangchang stepped forward and asked: "The people of China are cowardly, greedy, rigid, and jealous, and no one responded from yesterday when I organized a meeting of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce to raise military expenses, and this is a group of selfish, short-sighted, and gutless bandits, who only consider immediate and narrow interests, and have no forward-looking vision. If Ningbo Haiphong is broken, can they still keep their family property?

"Humph! Being in such a group is simply an insult to my personality. General, Aoki asks that after this mission is completed, allow me to return to the army and use the blood of the Shina people to wash away the filthy smell that has been stained on my body over the years! ”

"Baga!"

Hattori's half-guard changed his face and scolded angrily: "Aoki, are you holding yourself to me for your own merits?" What the empire needs you to do, you can only do honestly, there are no conditions to talk about!

"Remember, the great cause that the Yamato nation is carrying out now is not a bargaining business, but a life-and-death war between the two nations! War requires not only soldiers on the battlefield, but also the cornerstone of silently serving the empire in the midst of the enemy, and you are the most important cornerstone! Do you think I'm going to risk the whole high-rise building collapsing and pull out that cornerstone? ”

"Hi Yi!"

Aoki Gangchang hurriedly bowed: "Aoki knows that he is wrong!" But...... General, now that Ningbo has been taken, the empire can then drive straight in, conquer Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Huzhou all the way, and approach Nanjing, the capital of the Chinese people, to achieve the hegemony that the empire dreams of, why do you want me to stay in Ningbo, which has already been occupied? ”

Hattori's half-guard face was solemn: "Aoki-kun, for the sake of the general, you must not despise the opponent, although most of our enemies are stupid and inflexible China pigs, but pigs also have the dignity of pigs, and pigs also have the courage of pigs, which is also the meaning of the name of our special attack brigade." At the same time, in the Chinese army, there are such vigorous eagles as the An Jia Army, in fact, our Zhu Tu Special Attack Brigade is established with the An Jia Army as an imaginary enemy, this legendary army, has repeatedly given the emperor *** team a serious blow, we must not be careless!

"Next, with the main force of the empire landing in Ningbo, there will be a fierce war on the front line of eastern Zhejiang, no one knows what the final result will be, I can only say that the empire will win at all costs, but if it really doesn't work, we still have to save the vitality, withdraw from eastern Zhejiang, withdraw from Ningbo, and when the time comes, you can serve the empire again!"

Aoki Tsuyomasa was a little embarrassed and said, "But...... This time, so many people were poisoned at once, it is inevitable that the news will not leak, how can we ensure that the secret is not leaked? ”

"Haha!"

The commander of the Hattori Half-Guard Brigade smiled: "Aoki-kun, you can rest assured of this, our Pig Assault Brigade has a way to deal with such a thing." By noon, all the soldiers who were poisoned in China will be incinerated in a unified manner, and all the homes near the docks and fortresses will go to the places that rightfully belong to them...... Since then, no one in the world knows that those soldiers of China died of poisoning by eating the pork you sent, and they will only think that all this is the credit of the brave and invincible emperor *** team! ”

In the rampant laughter of Hattori, the news came that the garrison in the dock area had all bled to death, and the Pig Turf Assault Brigade occupied the dock area without much effort.

An hour later, the Jinhai and Jintang fortresses fell, and the defenders there, like the dock garrison, all died under the mixed poisoned pork.

At half past 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the Ningbo North Wharf, which had been cleaned, welcomed the officers and men of the 7th Division, the 10th Division, the 16th Division, the 20th Division, the 109th Division, and the six mixed brigades that had been secretly transferred south from Dalian and Port Arthur.

With the fall of Ningbo Port, the Japanese army landed on a large scale, and the war in East China escalated sharply.
