A military vehicle with a roaring siren suddenly drove out of a small alley on the side of the street, startling Okamura Ninji, who was full of worries. The streets of Tokyo are often filled with these specially adapted trucks that belong to the gendarmerie command. This is a vehicle used by the gendarmes to arrest "rebels", and the shrill sirens are said to be used to deter citizens who are not taking a firm stand! However, in the eyes of Okamura, the head of Japan's secret service, such a move is simply shaking the hearts of the people in Tokyo. In fact, where did so many rebellions come from, at most, a few people who did not know the current affairs blamed the reason for the unfavorable situation of the war on the blind command of Crown Prince Hirohito! In fact, this is not completely unreasonable, this damned war was caused by Crown Prince Hirohito's risky and brutal actions, and it was when the army and navy were completely unprepared for war! So the war is like this, and Hirohito should indeed bear the main responsibility. As for the people who do not take a firm stance, they are even more indiscriminate, and there are many well-informed people among the citizens of Tokyo, and the news of the defeat at the front cannot be concealed in Tokyo. It is not surprising that some people are privately spreading "rumors" of defeat. Could it be that arrests by the gendarmes and police could convince the citizens of Tokyo that the Imperial Army had won a resounding victory at the front? Thinking of this, Okamura couldn't help but sigh. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed

"Hey! Why do you look sad on your face! Is it that there is no confidence in the invincible Imperial Japanese Army? "Baidu Search" "See the latest chapters."

The shouting and scolding of the Tokyo accent sounded in the ears of Major General Okamura Ninji. When he looked up, he saw a stupid man in a police uniform less than 10 meters in front of him, holding a baton and glaring at him. Okamura is not wearing a military uniform today. The facial expression was not so confident, so it attracted the scolding of the police.

"Where, where. The contemptible person is worried about the livelihood of his family. Okamura squeezed out a small smile and bowed slightly to the policeman.

Okamura is a native of Tokyo, of course, speaks with a Tokyo accent, is nearly forty years old, is dry and thin, and wears a pair of dark wood-rimmed round glasses. It looks like the head of a family who worries about his family's life all day long.,In Tokyo right now.。 The streets are full of this person.

"Ah, it will be fine as soon as it is qiē, and it will be fine when it is defeated in China." The police didn't bother Okamura anymore. He said something he didn't believe with a straight face and turned away.

And Okamura didn't take such a little person to heart. His mind returned to the matter he was working on, that is, to activate the lurking beauty killer next to Chang Ruiqing to take the life of Chang Da dictator. This is probably the only possible way to reverse Japan's predicament. According to the information gathered by the Japanese Army Intelligence Bureau, that girl is the most favored concubine by Chang Ruiqing's side, and it should be foolproof for her to start. But why didn't she act? The Japanese Empire had reached its most dangerous moment. It stands to reason that she just didn't get the order. There should be something to be done! As soon as he thought of this question, Okamura Ninji's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten up again.

"After all, this girl is not an agent trained by the Imperial Army!" Okamura Ninji said in his heart. "It's just the illegitimate daughter of a lowly Kabuki, and the training time is not long, and she was sent to Shina at the age of 12, maybe now she has been confused by the privileged life and Chang Ruiqing's handsome appearance, right? If that were the case, there would be no last hope......"

His destination was a building of the Patriotic Women's Association in Tokyo's Nakano Ward. The doors of the building are closed all year round, as if they will never be opened. Okamura didn't knock on the door, but turned into a small alley on the edge of the building. Stopped in front of a small, inconspicuous iron gate. Then he rang the electric bell on the iron door, and a small window on the iron door opened first. Revealing a pair of vigilant eyes, he glanced at Okamura. Then the iron gate creaked open, and out came a little old man in a kimono, who seemed to have known Okamura Ninji's intention, and respectfully made a gesture of please, and led the way in front.

Inside the iron gate seemed to be a school, with a standard playground, school building, and student dormitory, but there was not a single student or teacher in sight. Okamura followed the old man who led the way through the playground, into the school building, and into a spacious classroom. There were already people waiting there. A short sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful girl wearing an ugly Japanese Army khaki uniform sat in the first row of seats, and when she saw Okamura Ninji walk in, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her. It turns out that this mysterious school is the Nakano School, which specializes in training intelligence officers for the Japanese Army! And the purpose of Gangmura Ninji coming to Nakano School is for this beautiful girl named Miyagawa Yunko. Of course, her name is not Miyagawa Yunzi now, but some other Yunzi, which is also a pseudonym, and her real name is only recorded in the secret archives of the Army Intelligence Agency.

Okamura pulled a chair and sat across from the girl, and the old man had already exited the classroom, and had closed the door of the classroom as he left.

"Yunzi, I'm Okamura Ninji." Okamura took out a wad of bungami from the briefcase he brought with him and placed it on the desk in front of Yunzi. "This is your new identity, as well as the experience and background of this new identity, give you 24 hours to memorize the above content, and then destroy the text."

"Hay!" The beautiful girl took Wen Jiàn with both hands and put it in front of her. Okamura continued: "How is the current battle situation, you should have heard a thing or two, right? ”

"Hay!" The beautiful girl frowned slightly, revealing a worried expression.

Okamura looked at the little beauty in front of him with a wry smile. "There is only one way to redeem the defeat, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king first!"

"Nani?" The beautiful girl was stunned and showed a surprised expression. "Your Excellency the Major General wants Yunzi to assassinate?"

"What? Don't dare? Okamura asked rhetorically.

The beautiful girl blinked, shook her head slightly, and said, "Of course, Yunzi's life is insignificant, but a character like the dictator of China is not something that Yunzi can approach." Although Yunzi has some appearance, it ......"

Okamura smiled and said, "I don't need you to do it, and I don't need you to get close to Chang Ruiqing." Your task is simply to go to Shina to meet a person and convey orders to her. ”

"Alone? Who is it? ”

"You should know. Her name is Junko Uchida. ”

"Junko?" The beautiful girl seemed taken aback, "Isn't she already dead?" ”

Okamura smiled coldly and said, "Her current name is Sun Yuexun, and she is the favorite concubine of Chang Ruiqing, the dictator of China. There is also an identity as the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the former leader of China. And you are her stepsister, the biological daughter of the Miyagawa family, Miyagawa Yunko. ”

"But, how am I going to see her? Now China and the Empire are at war! A look of surprise only flashed across the girl's face, and soon she regained her composure.

"You're going to be sold to China!" A pained expression flashed across Okamura's face.

"I was sold to ...... Where to go? The look of surprise on the little beauty's face could no longer be concealed. Right now...... Is there still such a deal? ”

Okamura Ninji nodded and said with a wry smile: "Of course there is no more in Japan. However, in the occupied territories of the Far East, it is said that such deals have already begun to take place...... There are many people who sell their own daughters to Chinese traffickers for a little food, and it is so tragic! ”

"In the occupied territories...... And the Japanese are still alive? The girl said in surprise. But how do I get into the occupied territories? ”

"Of course, there are Japanese people living in the occupied territories. But it's miserable! Okamura Ninji gritted his teeth and said. As for entering the occupied territories is not difficult, there will be a plane to send you to Burleigh. ”

"And then?" The girl asked.

"Wait...... Boli will soon become an occupied territory! ”

"Ahh The girl's eyes widened, "Is the battle situation so bad that Cheng Dù?" ”

……

While Japan was plotting a new conspiracy to assassinate the Navy, it was hovering over the Japanese Navy and Army on the southeast coast of China. They are also using their methods to try to redeem the doomed defeat.

Over the mouth of the Yangtze River on July 25, 1923. The thick clouds were low and low, making people feel breathless, but all the officers and men of the Japanese Combined Fleet showed a smile on their faces when they saw this weather.

In the distance, on the shallows near Hengsha Island and Chongming Island. The stranded Japanese battlecruiser Tsukuba and the Iwate first-class coastal defense ship were surrounded by a group of small sampans, watching as huge shells were hoisted from the small sampans onto the warships by cranes. The commander of the Combined Fleet, Isamu Takeshita, finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that there were not many shells left on the two stranded warships. If it can't be replenished in time. When they run out of ammunition, the Shanghai operation will be completely defeated.

Just when Takeshita Yong smiled and looked at the busy scene on the sea. Eisuke Yamamoto's report suddenly sounded behind him.

"Your Excellency, the battlecruiser Kirishima has called, and the heavy cruiser Haitian has been discovered, at xx north latitude and xx east longitude...... A little more north than expected. ”

"Really?" Takeshita took the telegram and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly. "It's a little northerly, did they sail northeast after passing through the Philippine Islands?"

"Looking at this position, the Haitian should be heading northeast, and if the direction does not change, the final destination will be ...... Right, the strait? Eisuke Yamamoto said.

"Tsushima Strait? How is that possible? Takeshita said with a smirk. Could it be that the destination of this Chinese heavy cruiser was the port of Wu Jun? ”

"Maybe it's the Korean Peninsula, right?" Eisuke Yamamoto thought about it and said. "Maybe it's preparing to cooperate with the China Army to capture Korea."

"Alas!" Takeshita Yong sighed and said: "The army's defeat is like this, can we really save the overall situation by relying on our navy to attack the coast of China?" ”

Eisuke Yamamoto was silent for a moment, did not answer the question, but changed the subject and said: "Your Excellency, Vice Admiral, it is better to send the battlecruiser Hiei to Sasebo to standby, and in case it is discovered that the heavy cruiser of Shina appears near the Korean Peninsula, let the Hiei attack from Sasebo." ”

"Okay." Takeshita looked at Chongming Dongtan and Hengsha Island in the distance, and the shelling on both sides stopped. The squadron seems to have given up on the offensive and has shrunk back in all directions. It seems that the tactics of using warship stranding as a fixed battery have been successful. Now countless small boats are busy transporting the transferred Japanese officers and soldiers and supplies to the beachhead. Takeshita said: "Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Suzuki of the army and ask them to launch an offensive before this rain passes, and try to push the battle line to the central part of Chongming Island and Changxing Island!" ”

……

A motorboat with the Iwate mark, piloted by Japanese naval soldiers in white sailor uniforms. Riding the wind and waves, he drove straight to a small fishing port in the north of Hengsha Island. After four days of hard fighting. The commander of the Japanese Third Army, Lieutenant General Suzuki Soroku, known as "Suzuki who shouted for help," finally landed with the corps headquarters that he had composed of staff members borrowed from the headquarters of the Guards Division, the Fifth Division, and the Seventh Division. Although the communication facilities on the Ibate are well equipped and protected by the armor of a warship, it is very safe. But Suzuki was always a little reluctant to take the nickname he had recently acquired, hoping to show his bravery by putting the general's headquarters on the more dangerous island of Yokosha.

The steamboat approached the dock, and the eyes of Soroku Suzuki and his staff couldn't help but feel a little moist. For the land under their feet, the Japanese Army has already paid nearly 10,000 casualties, as well as a dozen transport ships and two battle cruisers, and a first-class coastal defense ship was sunk! It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ground under his feet was soaked in the blood of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

The commander of the 1st Guards Brigade, Major General Hayashi Mijuro, was already waiting on the wharf of the fishing port. The commander of the brigade of the major general is now full of dust. His left hand was still wrapped in a bandage and hung around his neck. Lieutenant General Suzuki Soroku was seen walking off the motorboat wearing a lieutenant general's uniform that was significantly larger (not his own, but borrowed from the commander of the 5th Division, Yamada Rikuga, whose full salute sank with the Izumo). He hurriedly bowed at a standard forty-five degrees. Suzuki Zhuangliu hurriedly strode forward, held his shoulders with both hands, and said with a concerned face: "Lin Miaojun, it's really hard for you!" The 1st Konoe Brigade really lived up to the name of the Emperor Konoe. It's the essence of the Imperial Army! The palace also already knew the news of Hengsha's victory. Tokyo also has a celebration parade! What do you think? Is your injury strict? The casualties of the 1st Guards Brigade of your department are not light, do you still have the strength to continue the attack? ”

Hayashi raised his head, his face full of shame. Where did his 1st Guards Brigade achieve any great victories? In the past few days, Hengsha Island has been bombed by artillery, and the Chinese army does not have many defenders on the island, so it took the initiative to retreat to Changxing Island early yesterday morning, which allowed the 1st Guards Brigade to pick up a victory in vain. Unexpectedly, such a small result was exaggerated by the headquarters of the Guards Division and the headquarters of the Third Army, and it turned into an unprecedented victory when it arrived in Tokyo! In order to boost the country's low morale, this may be justified. But Suzuki Shoroku actually said something big in front of him, which always sounds a little sarcastic!

Hayashi took a deep breath. Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he forced a smile and said: "Your Excellency, the First Guards Brigade has made up its mind and is ready to use flesh and blood to open a passage to Shanghai!" However, at present, the troops are running short of ammunition and supplies, and if they are not replenished, the operation of attacking Changxing Island will probably fall into the predicament of insufficient stamina. ”

Suzuki Shoroku smiled and said, "Lin Miaojun, the supplies will be delivered soon, and a wing of the Fifth Division will also complete the landing today...... Will you be ready to attack Changxing Island in the early hours of tomorrow morning? The Navy hopes that the Third Army will launch a general offensive before such bad weather passes, and with the naval guns present, we don't have to worry about fire support at all. ”

Lin Mijuro nodded in embarrassment. Suzuki shook hands with the two wing commanders who had come to greet him, and then the high-ranking Japanese officers, accompanied by the retinue of the group, walked to the military headquarters set up in a small fishing village on the edge of the fishing port. There was not a single Chinese in this small fishing village, and they and the entire residents of Hengsha Island withdrew to Chuansha County on the day the Japanese fleet arrived. It has now become a logistics base that is beginning to take shape. A large amount of supplies from Tongguò beach and this fishing port are piled up here, mainly ammunition and food, which are stacked very neatly and covered with tarpaulins, but there are not many of them. An army field hospital is also located here, and there are quite a few wounded, most of them missing arms and legs, waiting to be sent to the hospital ship with small sampans. Others may have been mentally ill, crying and laughing at one moment, and shouting "Shelling!" Shelling! "of. It was obviously frightened by the two days of artillery battles, which was really humiliating.

The headquarters of the Japanese Third Army was located in a village elementary school reinforced by engineers, and an underground shelter was being excavated. Radio antennas have been erected, and telephone lines have spread like spider webs.

The group walked to the war room and began to discuss the military situation around the map table. In fact, there is nothing to discuss, the situation at the front is clear. It is the contest between the naval guns of the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet and the batteries of the Chinese army at Chuansha and Wusongkou, and on the terrain as flat as a table, these land forces are simply cannon fodder under large-caliber artillery! It's the same over there. The Yangtze River estuary is naturally the world of Japanese naval artillery, and with the support of so many battleships and battle cruisers' huge cannons, no one can doubt that the Japanese army will certainly be able to advance a large part of the way. But what about when the weather improves? After the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet was once again driven into the open sea by Chinese planes, the key to the next stage of the operation was how the ground forces held the positions they had captured.
