009 Evening Bell

The meeting went on quickly, and except for a few words of encouragement at the end, Matsui sat there motionless the rest of the time.

Major General Fujino, who was beside him, conveyed to them the requirements of the Tokyo base camp and the East China Front Command, and made a list of what they could provide. In general, this battle is to destroy the Sino-US joint bomber formation at the lowest cost.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this may sound sensational, but it is not impossible. At present, the existence of this bomber formation has posed a serious threat to the Imperial mainland, and His Majesty the Emperor is greatly enraged, and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and Chief Sugiyama Moto, as well as His Excellency the Commander and myself, entrust this matter to you! Please be sure to fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's instructions! After the major general finished speaking, Matsui made another concluding speech, and then he went out.

The work arrangements were quickly deployed and arranged, and the work efficiency of Ouyang Huizi and Shigeo Haruno was very high, and the East China Front Army Headquarters specially opened several offices for use as the No. 26 operation plan, and specialized personnel and equipment were transferred.

Ouyang Huizi mobilized the elite soldiers under his command, and all the equipment and personnel rushed in one direction, trying their best to investigate all the information about Suzhou Airport.

At this time, Haruno also began to form his own team. He should select a group of officers and men who can speak Chinese, are familiar with China's customs and customs, have high combat qualities, and obey orders.

Although the previous mainland advance team was wiped out, and the mainland advance team did not continue to recruit new members for training later, it was not difficult to select dozens of people who met such conditions in East China.

The order for the selection of the members was signed by Matsui Ishone himself, and the East China Front Command issued a military order, and the units began to push upwards according to their own terms, and a few days later, more than 300 members of the team were sent to a military camp on the outskirts of Shanghai, where they would be selected by Shigeo Haruno, and the selected ones would have a chance to become part of this secret action team.

Outside the barracks square, more than 300 officers and men stood in formation, and it was already the middle of winter in Shanghai at this time, and the wet and cold winter wind was blowing in gusts, like a biting cold. However, although these Japanese soldiers were dressed in single clothes, their waists were still straight, and their legs were tense, like javelins stuck in the ground.

"Stand upright!" With a command, Shigeo Haruno, who was wearing a tweed coat and carrying * in his hand, walked over with a few guards and took powerful steps.

When everyone heard the command, they immediately tightened their legs and stood even straighter.

Shigeo Haruno glanced around, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his sharp eyes, and after reading it, he waved his hand at the herald, who ran to the front and shouted, "All of them, sit down!" ”

After hearing this command, all the officers and men knelt on the ground with their legs straight, their waists straight, their buttocks sitting on their hind legs, and their hands on their thighs in unison.

In fact, this is not really kneeling, but a kind of sitting culture in the Japanese army and Japanese culture, and it is difficult to explain the reason for its formation.

"Everyone, according to their name and hometown, in order! It starts with you! Shigeo Haruno walked to the far left of the line and pointed to the military cao on the far edge and ordered.

"Hayi! Nozato Shinyoshi, Hiroshima Prefecture! The military cao reported loudly.

"Ido nosuke, Hiroshima Prefecture!" An ensign to his right shouted.

"Heavenly Jun, Hyogo Prefecture!" Another soldier shouted.

"Water Arsenal, Mie Prefecture!"

……

The huge playground was very quiet, and the air only echoed with the angry shouts of these Japanese officers and soldiers.

Shigeo Haruno didn't feel bored, listened to them one by one, and then walked up to everyone one by one.

In this way, the Japanese soldiers reported their homes, and when the number was just halfway through, Shigeo Haruno waved his hand, and at this time, more than a dozen officers and soldiers carrying gasoline barrels came out of it, and they lined up.

With a wave of his hand on the spring night, the dozen or so soldiers walked into the team that was counting with gasoline barrels, and then these soldiers unscrewed the lid of the gasoline barrel in their hands and poured the oil barrels on each soldier's body.

The cold and exciting gasoline poured over everyone's heads, and with the biting cold, many soldiers immediately shivered. However, they still straightened their waists and knelt on the ground, and the team that reported the number continued in an orderly manner.

"Shingen Tanaka, Kumamoto Prefecture!"

"Takashi Matsumoto, Yamaguchi Prefecture!"

……

Although the icy gasoline poured down from the top of their heads, the Japanese soldiers present still knelt upright.

No one knows why they did it, or what exactly they did it for. But the best soldiers shouldn't learn to think, because once they do, they won't be so desperate on the battlefield.

Shigeo Haruno was secretly observing everyone's expressions, he saw what he thought of from their subtle expressions, his memory was amazing, naturally he didn't need to use pen and paper to record, just by scanning around, he could understand the general idea.

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers came over with torches, and many people's eyes were focused on these torches. The torches made of the inner tubes of the car crackled and crackled, and the sound seemed to tear the hearts of these people apart.

Shigeo Haruno didn't look up, and continued to observe the reactions of the soldiers, he could see the horror and uneasiness in the eyes of these people, and only a few soldiers still maintained a determined gaze.

"Roar! I've chosen out the people I need! Shigeo waved his hand, and several soldiers with torches extinguished their torches and walked back.

"Haruno-kun, I can't see it, isn't it inconvenient to disclose your selection method?" An executive officer of Project 26 beside him asked puzzledly.

Shigeo Haruno smiled slightly: "I can't really burn these people, they are all the most loyal samurai in the empire, there is no doubt about that. But the moment the torch is raised, people react under the instinctive reaction, which cannot be concealed in the slightest. All I need to do is select soldiers who can show a kind of resolute composure despite instinctive reactions. They are what I really need! ”

"Yoshi, I've been taught, Haruno-kun! You are indeed an expert at lurking behind enemy lines in the Empire. The officer bowed slightly and said with great admiration.

Although Shigeo Haruno did not respond to his words, a hint of smugness flashed on his face.

With this approach, Shigeo Haruno selected the eighty-two soldiers he needed, and he needed to train them into his ideal appearance over the course of a few days.

Although the time is short, Shigeo Haruno is confident that he can train these people into the goals he needs.

……

Training and various confessional training are in full swing, but this time the soldiers he selected are different from ordinary soldier training, Haruno Shigeo took off their military uniforms with this group of tiger-like Japanese soldiers, changed into the cotton jackets worn by Chinese peasants, and began to wander around the docks of Shanghai Beach, their goal is to disguise themselves as ordinary Chinese coolies to go to the docks to collect work, once anyone finds anything unusual, immediately exclude.

In this way, more than 80 Japanese wandered around the various wharves of Shanghai Beach day by day, but few people recognized them Japanese, but these people were thought by the head snake of the wharf that they were villagers from outside who were coming to steal business, so they entangled a group of thugs to beat them badly.

Naturally, these arrogant Japanese soldiers were not to be outdone, and the two sides scuffled, and the Japanese babbled and shouted when they fought, which was very different from the Chinese peasants.

To the surprise of the big players, Shigeo Haruno saw that the matter was about to be revealed, so he asked the gendarmerie to go out and arrest both sides. After these people were arrested, they were directly released, and those local snakes were directly put into sacks by the gendarmerie and thrown into the Huangpu River.

The results of the training and testing were still not satisfactory, and Haruno Shigeo couldn't help but think of the Continental Advance team he had trained years earlier, with those guys wrapped in turbans, cigarette pouches pinned to their waists, baggy cotton pants, and their hands in their sleeves, looking no different from Chinese peasants.

On top of that, those guys are also very successful in their behavior, and if they are bullied by ruffians, they will endure it like most Chinese peasants.

But these guys who were transferred from the field army are really bad, and they still retain many imprints of imperial warriors in their bones, which cannot be removed in a short period of time, or even in a lifetime...... Shigeo Haruno knew that he had done his best, and he would not waste any more effort on this matter.

In the headquarters of Plan 26, Shigeo Haruno, Ouyang Huizi, and the officers of the headquarters of the East China Front Army were formulating a detailed battle plan based on the available information.

Shigeo Haruno wants to go to the front line in person, and as the commander of this operation, it is natural to listen to his opinions on how to act.

Shigeo Haruno proposed that he lead the advance team, disguise himself as Chinese peasants, enter the vicinity of Suzhou Airport, and launch an attack on the airport in the middle of the night, trying to blow up the airport and the planes at the airport.

"Suzhou Airport is their military stronghold, a large number of troops are deployed at the airport to defend, not far from the airport, there are also many government troops stationed in China, Haruno-kun, will it be too risky to attack?" An officer from the headquarters asked seriously.

Shigeo Haruno took a deep breath of the paper cigarette in his hand, and after exhaling a long smoke ring, he said, "This plan is already very risky. ”

After saying this, Shigeo Haruno looked up, and the evening bell sounded not far away.
