"After they had pursued us for about three miles, they stopped! Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! Kishimoto, who had a black mole on the corner of his mouth, said respectfully to Fukuda Hikosuke: "When we left your office and rushed back to the headquarters of the 88th Division to continue monitoring, we found that there were bursts of wailing from their headquarters, and some soldiers who came out of it were also covered in blood. It looks like it's going through a brutal big war. ”

Hikosuke Fukuda nodded, motioning for Kishimoto to continue.

"So we approached them as citizens of Jinan and asked, the 88th Division did not block the news strictly. That's why I heard the news from the mouths of those soldiers. Speaking of this, Kishiben paused before continuing: "Last night, the 3rd Brigade of the 88th Division attacked the remnants of the Lu army in Zhonggong Town. What I didn't expect was that the opponent's firepower was extremely strong! Moreover, the combat effectiveness was also very strong, and the entire Third Brigade was killed more than 1,000 people without even capturing the opponent's position, which led to a complete rout. ”

Hearing this, Hikosuke Fukuda "Ah! "Boom! He remembered that there was indeed a gunshot last night, and he also ordered the troops to be on strict alert, fearing that Guo Min's revolutionary army would suddenly attack them. He also sent someone to inquire after dawn, but then they came before the news came back from Kishimoto. At that time, the 88th Division had already set off for Zhonggong Town, so they only knew that there was a battle.

But they didn't have any information about exactly where the battle was, who they fought with, and what the result was, but this time the news from Kishimoto happened to be connected to the gunfire last night! Then everything is right.

"The 88th Division was dispatched this morning because the 3rd Brigade suffered great losses, so in a fit of anger, Wang Rixin led his 88th Division to exterminate the so-called 'remnants of the Lu Army' entrenched in Zhonggong Town. But what he didn't expect was that the other party's firepower was so strong! According to the retired soldiers of the 88th Division, the other side had at least 10 heavy machine guns and more than 30 light machine guns. Ordinary soldiers also have a high accuracy rate of shooting, and they even have an unknown number of sharpshooters. So the 88th Division was defeated. ”

Listening to Kishimoto's description, Hikosuke Fukuda nodded. It seems that the 88th Division has indeed suffered a big loss! And according to the description, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this army is not very good. Hikosuke Fukuda secretly thought: Maybe the cabinet's "Jinan Plan" can be implemented! But are you going to play some tricks to divert the main force of their troops?!

Thinking of this, Hikosuke Fukuda smiled weirdly and said to Kishimoto: "Kishimoto-kun is hard. But if Hikosuke Fukuda personally went to tell him that he was ready to retreat, I believe that the commander-in-chief would be happy to see his teeth and not see his eyes.

"Then, Nishida-kun, you will come in directly! It was reported to us that Zhonggong Town had an extremely strong remnant of the Lu army, and it was reported that this force had disabled the 88th Division of the 34th Army under the 4th Army Corps. Because for the sake of the imperial diaspora, we were required not to evacuate Jinan. ”

Koichi Nishida was very excited when he heard this! Now they just need to find an excuse to keep the troops behind or even keep increasing them! And this is an example of the remnants of the Lu army abandoning one of your divisions, so it is understandable that our empire has stationed some troops in order to protect its own diaspora. That's a good excuse!

"And at this time, we chose to be in a dilemma, and proposed to Jiang Zhongzheng that we cannot withdraw and that we should station more troops to protect our own expatriates until they completely solve the danger, what do you think Jiang Zhongzheng will do?!" Hikosuke Fukuda tapped his fingers on the tabletop and looked at them with a weird smile.

Koichi Nishida, Kishimoto, Saito Liu and others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then laughed! Jiang Zhongzheng dreamed of letting the emperor's ** team leave Jinan, and this Northern Expedition was his big deal! Great feat! But now there is a remnant army that directly swept away one of his divisions, and let the empire find an excuse to garrison troops, so it's no wonder that he is not angry!

Then the next thing is simple, Jiang Zhongzheng will definitely mobilize the army to annihilate that force regardless of it. And at this time, the vacancy in Jinan gave the emperor ** team the best chance!

"As long as Jiang Zhongzheng follows our steps, there is no doubt about it! At that time, Jinan's troops will definitely not be much stronger! With the combat effectiveness and equipment of our emperor's ** people, it is easy to capture Jinan! "Hikosuke Fukuda" touches! He slapped the table hard and said, "When the time comes, let Tian Youwang and Jiang Huanbu take the lead!" Our emperor's ** team assisted them in capturing all the assembly points of Guo Min's revolutionary army in Jinan City! ”

"Then, we directly announced: Due to the attack of the imperial ** team by the rebels, in order to protect the safety of our nationals, our department will be directly stationed in Jinan City! And ask all the Guo Min revolutionary troops to lay down their arms and withdraw from Jinan City! At the same time, Jiang Huan was appointed as the mayor of Jinan and Tian Youwang was appointed as the commander of the Jinan garrison to protect the safety of our Japanese overseas Chinese! ”
