When Senior General Matsui Ishine walked into the military analysis room with a blue face, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, chief of staff of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, was already waiting there with a solemn expression.

Seeing Matsui Ishone, Major General Mamoru Iinuma and those staff officers hurriedly gathered their feet and stood upright.

Matsui Shigen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Iinuma-kun, what's the situation?" Didn't Shigeichi Watanabe call last night and say that the special operations team could settle the battle before dawn? ”

Mamoru Iinuma bowed his head and replied: "Your Excellency, Watanabe-kun's special operations team has pounced, and the Baoshan battalion has already been transferred in advance before the special operations team arrived at Yang Village!" ”

"So does the General Staff know why this is happening?" Matsui Ishone said angrily, "Could it be that the intelligence agency of the Shina people has deciphered our communication code again?" ”

"Probably not." Mamoru Iinuma shook his head.

Matsui Ishone said, "What's going on?" ”

Iinuma Mamoru replied: "There are only two explanations, one is that Yue Weihan is very cautious, he had already sensed some kind of danger before the special operations team arrived, so he moved ahead with his troops; Another explanation is that this is just a coincidence, the Baoshan camp originally wanted to attack the Kunshan concentration camp at night, so it happened to escape the hunt of the special operations team. ”

Matsui Shigen frowned and said: "The construction of the Kunshan concentration camp is highly secret, and all the Zhina laborers who participated in the construction of the concentration camp have been secretly executed, how can Yue Weihan and the Baoshan camp know?" ”

"This ......," Mamoru Iinuma shook his head, "maybe a few Shina laborers have slipped through the net." ”

"Yaga!" Matsui Shigen said angrily, "The Baoshan battalion has already taken the train to Wuxi, but the staff of your dispatch army hasn't even figured out what the situation is, waste, all waste!" ”

"Hello!" Major General Mamoru Iinuma suddenly lowered his feet and bowed his head, and all the staff officers followed suit.

"Send a report to the two idiots Nakagawa and Takahashi immediately!" Matsui Shigen said angrily, "The 36th Wing and the Military Police Brigade must catch up with the Baoshan Battalion and annihilate it within three days, otherwise prepare to thank the Emperor for their seppuku!" ”

General Matsui Ishine was really angry this time, because it was impossible to hide such a big thing as the assassination of Hatohiko Asakanomiya, and no one dared to hide it, Hatohiko Asakanomiya's uncle, Prince Zaihito Kanin, the chief of the general staff of the army, quickly sent a harshly worded telegram after learning the news, instructing Matsui Ishigen to hunt down the culprit!

Even Emperor Hirohito was alarmed by this incident, and personally called the Central China Front to redeem the influence.

However, things have already come out, how easy is it to undo the impact? Reporters from the American, British, French, and other media in Shanghai are now making a big deal of the story.

The most odious thing is that the TASS reporter of the Red Soviet Union dared to openly write an article in the newspaper to ridicule the Imperial Army, saying that the Imperial Army could not even protect its own commander, and dared to claim that the Army was invincible? He also threatened that if the Kwantung Army dared to stir up trouble in the Manchurian-Mongolian border area, the heroic Soviet Red Army would definitely kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!

All in all, because of the War of Resistance in the Sixing Warehouse and the assassination of Hatohiko in the Asaka Palace, the "invincible image" of the Imperial Army has been seriously damaged, which not only greatly encouraged the determination of the Chinese political axe army to resist, but also weakened the fighting spirit and morale of the imperial warriors to a certain extent.

And the initiator of all this is Yue Weihan, the cunning fox!

In view of this, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yue Weihan has become a thorn in the side of General Matsui Ishine, if it were not for the tight frontal battlefield and the strength of the front army had been used to the limit, Matsui Ishine would even consider transferring back one or two infantry brigades to participate in the hunt for this cunning Shina fox and his group of routs.

…………

Wuhan, Xingying.

General Matsui Ishine, commander of the Central China Front, was in a very bad mood, but Chairman Chiang, the leader of the national government, was in a very good mood, and Yue Weihan's assassination of Hatohiko of the Asakanomiya had already aroused widespread repercussions in various concessions in Shanghai, and it was believed that it would not be long before this matter spread throughout the Western world.

Coupled with the previous four-line warehouse war of resistance, Yue Weihan and Baoshan Camp are now not only well-known in Chinese mainland, even in Western countries, that is, they are also famous!

Finance Secretary Song Ziwen, who had already flown to the United States to seek financial support, had just sent back a transatlantic telegram not long ago, saying that it was a reporter from the Associated Press, a young and beautiful American girl, who was always pestering him to ask about Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Battalion's deeds in the War of Resistance Against Japan, which made him proud and annoyed.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the national government guard next to him, was also emotional.

The fact that the committee is respected as the leader of the party and the state, but is so concerned about the safety of a single battalion shows that the committee has regarded Yue Weihan and his Baoshan camp as the meat of his heart! It's no wonder, who made Yue Weihan both from Huangpu and Fenghua? And this kid is still so able to toss, he guarded the Sixing warehouse for more than 20 days, and then killed the commander of a group army in the Yue Army!

The first thing Chairman Jiang did when he returned to his official residence after receiving the representatives of the business community gathered in Wuhan was to ask Yue Weihan and the whereabouts of the Baoshan battalion he led: "Shihe, where are Yue Weihan and the Baoshan battalion now?" Did they retreat in the direction of Zhejiang? Did Gu Zhutong send troops to respond? ”

Wang Shihe said with a strange expression: "Seat, the Baoshan battalion is taking the train to attack in the direction of Wuxi. ”

"What did you say?" Chairman Jiang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Niang Xipi, what kind of reputation is Gu Zhutong doing?" Why didn't he let the Baoshan battalion withdraw to Zhejiang? What is he trying to do? ”

Wang Shihe said: "Gu Zhutong hoped that the Baoshan battalion could withdraw to Zhejiang, but Yue Weihan refused. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shihe couldn't help but show a trace of inexplicable look on his face, thinking that this Yue Weihan has the ability, and it is true that he can toss, but this problem of disobedience has become more and more serious, since the last time he refused to entrust the whole order, how long has it been, and he has been disobeying orders several times in a row!

However, Chairman Jiang's face was not gloomy, and he asked, "What did Yue Weihan say?" ”

Wang Shihe immediately recited the telegram sent by Yue Weihan to Gu Zhutong word for word, and after hearing this, Chairman Jiang sighed: "This is a soldier, this is a real soldier, the generals of the party-state must be like Yue Weihan, how can Kou be qualified to run rampant in the land of China!" ”

After saying this, Chairman Jiang said again: "How many guns are left in the Baoshan battalion now?" ”

Wang Shidao: "Oh, there is another thing I almost forgot, last night the Baoshan battalion attacked the prisoner of war concentration camp set up in Kunshan, and rescued more than 1,000 prisoners of war, these prisoners of war are veterans who have survived for more than nine lives, and now the strength of the Baoshan battalion has expanded to more than 1,000 people, and Tang Shenzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, has ordered the Baoshan battalion to rush to the aid of Jingjiang." ”

Hearing that the strength of the Baoshan battalion had been expanded to more than 1,000 people, Chairman Jiang immediately looked uplifted, and after a little contemplation, he said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, immediately send a report to Tang Shenzhi: immediately expand the Baoshan battalion into the Baoshan regiment, Yue Weihan will be promoted from lieutenant colonel battalion commander to colonel regiment commander, and awarded the Qingtian Baiyue Medal; The original officers of the Baoshan Battalion were all promoted to two ranks, and each of them was rewarded with two hundred oceans; The original soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion will be rewarded with 20 oceans each! ”

After saying this, Chairman Jiang said with great interest: "Also, when the defense of Nanjing is over, let Yue Weihan lead the Baoshan regiment to Wuhan to rest, and I will personally award them the regimental flag!" ”
