Commander Kenkichi Ueda fled from the headquarters building of the Japanese Marine Corps with a black face covered in ashes.

He was carried out by his men and pulled out of the rubble by the Marines. When the loud explosion sounded, he was inspecting the air defense measures in the underground bomb shelter of the headquarters.

Unbeknownst to him, a loud explosion almost shook him to death, but it also shook most of the soldiers in the basement to the ground, and Commander Ueda was one of the people who were stunned.

Produced by the Lei family, it must be a high-quality product, and the conscience cannon improved by the Lei brothers is really powerful, and it can collapse the office building of the Marine Corps with just one shot.

Hundreds of staff members in the office building were buried in the rubble of the building, but fortunately, many soldiers knew that their commander was still in the bomb shelter under the building.

Fortunately, he was in a bomb shelter at the time, otherwise Ueda Kenkichi would have gone to see his Amaterasu Okami a long time ago.

The cause also caused the entire building to catch fire, so the rescue work was delayed, and everyone had to put out the fire first.

Fortunately, the barracks were fully equipped with firefighting equipment, and the Kung Fu fire was extinguished after a while, and it did not cause a series of fires in several buildings next to it.

When everyone finally extinguished the fire, they began to devote themselves to manual excavation and began rescue work.

The headquarters building of the Marine Corps is a three-story Western-style building, and now the whole thing has collapsed, and you don't need to ask everyone to know that the people buried under the rubble are probably more than lucky.

It is estimated that there may be a few living people at the top, and the rest of the people will be buried if they are not stoned to death. Therefore, these marines did not have much hope for whether they could rescue the living.

However, when the two living people were finally picked up, they told the rescuers that the commander-in-chief was still in the underground bomb shelter.

The soldiers who heard the news came to their senses again and began to dig frantically again.

Originally, the bomb shelter had multiple exits and entrances, and although the building collapsed, there were not many stones at the entrance and exit of the bomb shelter.

Knowing that the commander was in the air-raid shelter, everyone naturally made every effort towards the entrance and exit of the air-raid shelter.

Everyone finally moved the stones at one of the exits of the bomb shelter, only to find that the oxygen in the bomb shelter was thin, and Commander-in-Chief Kenkichi Ueda and dozens of staff members had passed out.

When everyone carried Commander Ueda out, Commander Ueda finally opened his eyes, and he didn't go back to rest, so he sat on top of the ruins and said hatefully: "Check, give me a good check, who attacked us?" ”

Soon a Japanese officer next to him told him that it was a powerful cannonball fired at a Japanese tavern not far from the headquarters.

No cannon was found at the scene, only a wall that had not collapsed was found, and it was written on the wall that the axe helped Lei Busan to visit here. I guess it's a good thing for the Axe Gang again.

Ueda Kenkichi has also heard of the name of the Axe Gang in the past few days, and it must have been that in the past month, Wang Yaqiao of the Axe Gang has assassinated Japanese generals many times and attacked the Japanese army.

As soon as he heard that it was Wang Yaqiao who assassinated him, Ueda Kenkichi couldn't help but be discouraged, and he also admired Wang Yaqiao's assassination methods.

"Did the people who went to assassinate Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai come back? Did they succeed? Ueda Kenkichi never forgot the task assigned to Shohachiro.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, I just got the news that both assassination attempts failed. We have lost a total of fourteen good members of the Royal Guard. In addition, more than 20 members of the Royal Guard, who were hiding in the headquarters, received an urgent call from Ikuhachiro early this morning and left the headquarters.

They said that they were going to the secret contact point of their Jiahe faction in Shanghai, and they were afraid that they would not be safe at the headquarters. An adjutant said.

"Yes, the headquarters is not safe either, I didn't expect them to really say it. You immediately go and send a telegram to Ihachiro Tsuga, telling him that the headquarters has been bombed by the Axe Gang, and that he will have to find a place for our Empire of Japan no matter what.

Didn't their Axe Gang have a stronghold in Shanghai called the Golden Tiger Club? Let him organize the dead to blow him up for me.

As long as this matter is done, I will also apply for a first-class National Hero Medal for him. After Ueda Kenkichi gave the order, the adjutant immediately went to send the report.

Commander Kenkichi Ueda sat panting on the ruins, not wiping the black ash of his face, and at this moment, another Japanese adjutant hurriedly ran over from a distance.

As soon as he got here, he shouted: "Where is the commander?" Where is the commander? Do you see the commander? After speaking, he asked Kenkichi Ueda, who had a black and gray face.

The generals next to him saw the commander's embarrassed face, and no one dared to respond. Qi Qi looked at Commander Ueda.

At this time, the adjutant finally recognized the old black man in front of him as the commander-in-chief, and he immediately took out a telegram and read:

"The Japanese Army headquarters has decided to send additional 11th and 14th Divisions to reinforce Shanghai, and all the troops in Shanghai will form the Shanghai Dispatch Army, with Senior General Shirakawa Yoshinori as commander-in-chief and Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Ueda as deputy commander.

It is hoped that before the arrival of new reinforcements, Deputy Commander Kenkichi Ueda will ensure that the situation in Shanghai does not deteriorate.

At the same time, the base camp will present awards to the many efforts made by the Japanese army in Shanghai over the past month, and General Yoshinori Shirakawa will personally present awards to the meritorious officers and men in Shanghai at the headquarters of the Shanghai Marine Corps. ”

Hearing this telegram, Ueda Kenkichi couldn't help but laugh, and also presented awards for war merits? It's really to boost morale. He didn't complain about losing the battle and being demoted to deputy commander, but looking at the general headquarters that had turned into a pile of ruins in front of him, where did you ask Commander Shirakawa Yoshinori to present the award?

At this moment, the adjutant who had just gone to send a telegram to Shohachiro rushed back.

"Oh no, commander-in-chief, the secret stronghold where Yanagi Hachiro was located was attacked by the Chinese, and all the members of the royal guard were killed, and, moreover." Speaking of this, the adjutant did not dare to say any more.

"And what? Say it! Kenkichi Ueda thinks that there is enough bad news today, and he is not afraid to hear anything worse.

"And all the members of the Royal Guard, including Sho Hachiro, were beheaded, stripped naked, and hung outside the secret stronghold. It is also written on their bodies.

If you dare to assassinate again, you Japanese will kill all your threatening words. The adjutant said tremblingly.

"Mud?" Kenkichi Ueda was shocked by the way Shohachiro and his group died.

Ueda was still shocked by the Axe's astonishing methods, and the Axe Gang had all retreated from the bath behind the U.S. Embassy.

Just now, Black Kill rushed into this bath with a group of people from Hei Da, which is also the secret branch of Isachiro and them.

Twenty-six people, including Shohachiro, including twenty-two men and four women, were not bad, and all of them died at the hands of the disciples of the Black Killing and Battle Hall.

At that time, they didn't use anyone else to get started, but they just killed one person, holding a double knife, with two people, Hei Da and Hei Er, and the three of them rushed into the bath first.

Kill people when they see them, cut them when they see people, fortunately Li Tie is not here, otherwise he would not have thought of the terrifying face of Black Kill at this time, and at the same time, he would also understand the origin of the name Black Kill. At the same time, how did the famous name of the black kill in Shanghai come about?

I saw that the black killer used the double sword superbly, no matter who the other party was, as long as one of them looked at the face, he could kill a dead soldier.

The butterfly mandarin duck knife of the black kill is really worthy of its name, the knife kills, and he thinks that he has fought with the black kill, and he can fight with the black kill for some time, so as to find a chance to escape.

When he was slashed in the shoulder by Black Kill and stabbed in the heart with another knife, he saw that Black Da and Black Er were leading a group of strong men to slaughter his men.

Hachiro couldn't believe that as one of the outstanding ninjas of the Koga Gate, he was about to die in front of the black kill without even blocking a move.

He tried his best before he died, but he only asked, why? He was clearly on par with the Black Killer before.

I don't know if it's asking why black killings have become so painful? Or how did Black Kill find them? Anyway, Black Kill didn't bother to deal with him, so he replied hastily, "Teasing you." He pulled out the mandarin duck knife inserted in the heart of Isachiro.

At the moment when he fell to the ground, he still thought unwillingly: "It turns out that the Chinese Jianghu people are so cunning, and they deliberately let him run away at the beginning, just to find their own nest, so that they can catch all of them."

Alas, they succeeded, Commander Ueda, I don't want that medal, you have to avenge us. "Isachiro didn't even close his eyes.

But what he didn't know was that although Kenkichi Ueda was not dead, he had also been hit hard. Because Ueda Kenkichi is still counting on him to restore the field for the Japanese army.

Now playing Ming, more than 50,000 men and horses of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Route Army have eaten more than 30,000 of their Japanese troops to death.

Playing dark, the Axe Gang is a world-famous expert. This little bit of people in China is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

After much consideration, Kenkichi Ueda finally ordered that before the arrival of new reinforcements, all Japanese troops should be withdrawn to the concession area, and the ministers of various countries would mediate, and the two sides should not fight again.

At the same time, Ueda Kenkichi sent another telegram to Japan, explaining in detail that he and Shiozawa Yuki, Nomura Kichizaburo had made a low-level mistake of rash advance because of carelessness, and he hoped that General Shirakawa Yoshinori would take warning.

At the same time, Ueda Kenkichi also reported to the Japanese base camp on the current situation of the Shanghai defenders, including troops, equipment, morale, etc., and finally he mentioned the help of people from all walks of life in Shanghai in the war effort.

He focused on Wang Yaqiao of the Axe Gang and Li Tie of Huaxing Company, and he hoped that the state would put both of them on the list of enemies of Japan, and that they must be eliminated first and then quickly if they have the chance.

At the end of the telegram, he begged the Empire to give him another chance, not to transfer him back to China, but to help General Shirakawa Yoshinori defeat the Chinese defenders.

At the same time, in order to end the battle of Shanghai as soon as possible, he asked the country to send more planes and warships. The Chinese defenders lacked heavy weapons and, even more, air power.

As long as the Japanese army did not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy's rash advance, it would still be easy to defeat the Shanghai defenders.

In fact, when Shirakawa Yoshinori led tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of planes, and dozens of warships to Shanghai again, the balance of the Sino-Japanese war once again tilted in favor of Japan.
