Headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army

"Have you researched it? Who exactly was the 5th Division disabled? Ryosuke Isoya, one of the four major Chinese experts of the Showa period in Japan, a lieutenant general of the army, the first governor of Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation, was convicted of war by the Nanjing Military Court and sentenced to life imprisonment, which was later transferred to the Tokyo court. Released in 1952.

He was really a little scared today, and rushed after receiving the order from Shangfeng, thinking that the Chinese army in Linyi would be as vulnerable as other places, but as a result, he was shelled by the enemy before he could be killed. Blame himself for being too anxious and attacking as soon as he comes.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, according to the results of the investigation by the headquarters, the headquarters of the 5th Division has been found in the dark, except for one chief of staff who was killed by a shot in the head, the rest were killed by a shot in the head, and the rest were fatally cut in their sleep, and the same is true of His Excellency Itagaki," the chief of staff of the 10th Division paused and said, "and the arsenal and soldiers' tents of the 5th Division were destroyed by explosives. Therefore, the general command speculated that it was very likely that it was the masters of the Chinese people. ”

"Yaga! How can it be? Ryosuke Isoya was furious, "Is there a bunch of rice buckets in the North China Command?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you must know that our Imperial Japanese Army has always been invincible, and the Chinese will turn around and flee when they see us, and the Chinese army is even more so, we have already defeated most of China!" Your Excellency Division Commander, do you still think that these things were done by Chinese soldiers? The chief of staff retorted.

The General Headquarters of the Japanese Army in North China was dispatched

"Your Excellency, Commander," said a Japanese soldier, bending down, "I have found an extremely interesting thing in the next place, which is very likely to have something to do with the destruction of the top of the 5th Division Command. ”

"Your Excellency Takeshita," Terauchi Shouichi said with a smile, "please speak." ”

"Thank you, Commander." Takeshita Jun straightened up, and then said, "During the defense of Nanjing, during the offensive and defensive battle of the Qixia Mountain position, the commander of the second detachment under the 38th Wing was also in his sleep and had his throat cut. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shouichi Terauchi turned around, stared straight at Jun Takeshita, and said, "Takeshita-kun, please tell me carefully." ”

"Hey!" Takeshita Jundao, "At that time, the Qixia Mountain position was defended by the first regiment of the 87th Division of the National Army, and the commander of the first regiment at that time was called Zhou Weiguo. Later, this man led his troops to annihilate the 38th Wing, and was promoted to major general and brigade commander to defend the Guanghuamen position. Similarly, the Guanghuamen position, in the entire defense of Nanjing, was the place where the Imperial Japanese Army suffered the most losses, losing about 9,000 people. In the defense of Nanjing, I was originally going to attack from Guanghua Gate, but the first time I entered through the sewer and was discovered, it showed that Zhou Weiguo was very defensive, and the second time I went up from the city wall, although the sneak attack was successful, Guanghua Gate was still recaptured. It is enough to show that Zhou Weiguo has excellent command ability. ”

"What does Takeshita-kun mean is that this incident has something to do with this Zhou Weiguo?" Shou in the temple narrowed his eyes and said.

"After the Battle of Nanjing, Zhou Weiguo disappeared for almost a whole month." Takeshita Jun said, "It wasn't until recently, close to February, that Zhou Weiguo appeared again, and the place where he appeared was in Suqian, Jiangsu. Immediately, Jun Takeshita pointed on the map, "Suqian to Linyi is not far away, there is a great possibility that Zhou Weiguo is in Linyi at this time." ”

"Why did Takeshita-kun know about this week's defense of the country?" Shouichi Terauchi asked.

Jun Takeshita was silent for a while and said, "Zhou Weiguojun is one of the people Takeshita admires the most in his life. While studying at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, General Hans believed that Zhou Weiguo had truly learned the essence of special operations and was one of his most admired students. ”

"The Military Academy in Berlin, Germany? I remember, Takeshita-kun, who also studied abroad there. "Terauchi Shouyi, "Takeshita-kun, do you know this Zhou Weiguo?" ”

"Hey, I'm very good friends with Zhou Weiguo." Takeshita Jun didn't look good on his face, "However, after the holy war began, we broke off our friendship." ”

"Oh?" Terauchi Shouichi heard the four words of the painting and broke up, and became more interested than before.

……

At 9 p.m. on March 15, 1938, the Japanese army position in Linyi

"Nani?" Ryosuke Isoya looked at the telegram in his hand, his eyes widened in surprise, he didn't believe that there would be a way of fighting as stated in the telegram, if there really was, what would ordinary soldiers do? But the death of all the high-ranking commanders of Seishiro Itagaki's 5th Division made him have to believe it.

"Someone, pass the order down, change today's password!" Ryosuke Isoya said.

"Hey!"

In Isotani's view, Zhou Weiguo's special operation must have been ordered in advance for the success of the special operation. Changing the password will definitely have an impact on Zhou Weiguo's special operation.

"Come on, step up patrols tonight!" Ryosuke Isoya said again, he thought about it, but he was still very uneasy, and commanded again.

"Hey!"

……

At this time, Zhou Weiguo was already in Zhang Zizhong's defense area, on the mountain outside Linyi City.

"Brother Weiguo, are you really going to go to the devil's camp tonight?" Zhang Zizhong said suspiciously.

"Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't have left the city." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Brother Xun Chen, don't worry, I still cherish my little life very much, and I won't joke about it." ”

"Young Yingjie!" Zhang Zizhong sighed, "When I was as old as you, I was still in the academy." ”

Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Originally, at my age, I had just graduated. However, the country is in danger, the nation is in danger, so we have to put pen to paper. ”

"yes." Zhang Zizhong also said, "Brother Weiguo, can you tell me how you got into the Japanese camp?" ”

Zhou Weiguo smiled slightly, shook his head to himself, and said, "Brother thinks about this special operation too amazingly. ”

"Isn't it, one against ten?"

"Now my special combat team members are just ordinary soldiers, with better marksmanship, better physical fitness, better brains, and most importantly, they can speak Japanese." Zhou Weiguo replied, "Since I established the special combat team, in addition to the basic exercises, the most important thing is to teach them Japanese. In the Chinese army, there are almost no people who can speak Japanese. In the Japanese army, there are many people who can speak Chinese. ”

The General Headquarters of the Japanese Army in North China was dispatched

"Today, I listened to Takeshita-kun's words, and I really benefited a lot, Takeshita-kun deserves to be one of the most outstanding young people in my great Japanese empire." Terauchi Shouyi, "In that case, then, Takeshita-kun, I am here to order you, in the name of the commander of the North China side, to establish my special forces of the Japanese Empire: Sakura, for half a year, hope, Takeshita-kun, show your strengths!" ”

"Thank you, Commander!" Jun Takeshita bent down and bowed.
