Chapter 4: All-out War of Resistance against Ι Sakura

Tianjin Japanese Concession, North China Tun Garrison Headquarters. Hideki Tojo's sword-faced face was spasmodic and pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were furious. This time, the North China strategy was completely mentioned and responsible for by him. Originally, he was counting on this battle to establish his own martial arts, so that he could accumulate some capital for leaving the cabinet and entering the prime minister. However, first the ground offensive was frustrated, and then the air force also suffered a heavy blow. There is no martial merit to speak of, and only blame remains. "Ouyang Yun, Cadet Army!" He said word by word, and suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and shouted loudly, "What about Kutaro Matsui? Let him come to see me, I want all the information about Ouyang Yun and the Cadet Army. ”

Yamamoto Kiyokawa, a staff officer who stood behind him respectfully and did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, responded loudly: "Hai! Then he walked briskly out of the road.

After a long quarter of an hour, Kutaro Matsui, who had a rather ugly face, walked in with a large stack of secret documents. He walked up to Tojo, put down the file, and was about to speak, but was frightened by the other party's fierce gaze, and only a slight "Lord Tojo" came out of his mouth, and there was no follow-up.

After the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army were stationed in Beiping, the first thing to clear was the Beiping secret service of the Kwantung Army. Then, together with Jin Bihui's puppet Manchurian secret service, it was also uprooted. If Matsui hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, it was probably a question of whether he could get out. Prior to this, Beiping and the surrounding areas were already the only places where Japanese spies could operate in the Jicha area. In this way, they have lost even the last foothold. This directly led to the fact that in the subsequent military operations, the Japanese army was like a blind man, completely discrediting the actions of the Chinese army...... Speaking of which, he, the head of the Peiping secret service, is now in vain.

The rise of the Xuebing Army, including Ouyang Yun, seemed to many people to be like bamboo shoots after the rain in early spring, which grew up overnight.

Hideki Tojo opened the file, and behind the three words Ouyang Yun, he only saw vague words such as overseas Chinese in the United States, about twenty-three years old, and his face, which was already a little soothing, became even more difficult to see. Holding back the anger in his heart, he continued to read, and after about twenty minutes, he closed the file heavily, stood up and shook his hand and gave Matsui a slap, and scolded sharply: "Eight grids! The Empire has allocated so much money to you, and you only hear this meaningless information? The artillery that the people of China used to deal with our aviation this time, why didn't they have any relevant information?! And those chariots under the Xifeng Pass, what's going on? ”

Matsui received a slap in the face, not only did he not complain in the slightest, but on the contrary, he stood more straight, his head lowered, and he did not dare to spit out a single word except for the sound of "Hai", as if praising Tojo for playing well.

A slap in the face to Matsui did not make Hideki Tojo feel good, he raised his head in pain, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Sitting down dejectedly, he closed his eyes and muttered: "In order to pass through North China, the empire has been operating hard for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that it would be stopped by Ouyang Yun, a small warlord, in such a small place as Jicha!" His Majesty the Emperor, not a minister is not loyal to the monarch, but this student army is not the Northeast Army! I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled! ”

Matsui secretly raised his head and peeked at Tojo, immediately stunned by the two tear streaks on his face. He said: "Your Excellency Tojo, although my subordinates have not found much important information about Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army in the past few years in North China, they have discovered a law. ”

"What?"

"That is, almost all the innovations related to the Cadet Army are related to Ouyang Yun. Your Excellency Tojo, I think that what stands in front of our army is not an army, but a person. ”

Hideki Tojo's lifeless eyes immediately regained a trace of vitality, and he glared at Kutaro Matsui fiercely, and he asked, "What do you mean, as long as Ouyang Yun is excepted, can the empire's North China cause be successful?" ”

Matsui lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Hai! ”

Tojo's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he clenched his hands together and pinched his knuckles hard, making his knuckles creak as he thought. After a while, he stood up, regained his usual composure, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll take a gamble." He turned to Yamamoto Kiyokawa and said, "Yamamoto, call Ono Nakasa to me." ”

Since the failure of the strategy Wanping, Ono, a high-achieving student who studied in Germany and a general of the defeated army, has been deliberately forgotten by Hideki Tojo. Ono once thought that it would be difficult for him to get a chance to be promoted in his life. So, when Yamamoto told him that His Excellency Tojo was looking for him, he thought he had misheard. It wasn't until Yamamoto said it again that he followed in a bit of a daze. He didn't know about the slaughter of the Kwantung Army Flying Group, and after entering the headquarters, after the habitual salute, he found that Hideki Tojo's face was not worried, and at first he thought that the other party was going to deal with himself ruthlessly because of Wanping's failure last time, so he already had some kind of consciousness in his heart. He lowered his head quietly, and there was a hint of absoluteness in his heart.

Hideki Tojo looked at the young officer he once valued the most, and found that he had lost significantly weight compared to last time, and couldn't help but worry a little in his heart about whether he still had the courage to fight. Therefore, he drank to Ono: "Ono Nakasa, raise your head and look at me." How? Have you been scared by the Shina people? You have lost the courage to be a soldier?! ”

The hatred was mentioned again, and a wave of blood in Xiao Ye's heart soared, causing his face to turn red, and he habitually held his head high, looked straight ahead, and roared in a deep voice: "Report to Your Excellency General, no!" ”

Seeing what he wanted to see, Hideki Tojo nodded in his heart, his face remained silent, and he asked loudly, "So, what about those of your subordinates?" You once told me that one of your men is worth twenty chinas, and now, do you still have the confidence to say such a big thing? ”

"Your Excellency, that's not a big deal. I admit that Wanping's failure is my responsibility. However, Your Excellency General, my subordinates did not participate in the Raider Wanping that time. They are the Stand Up Team, and their specialty is field warfare and sneak attacks, destroying important military targets. ”

"Very good, then, if I want you to lead them to kill Ouyang Yun, are you confident that you can do it?!"

Ono didn't answer right away, but looked at Hideki Tojo with wide eyes, and there was a frenzy in his eyes, because this was exactly what he had been asking for. After a while, when Tojo's eyes narrowed with laughter, he bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency! The 111 Stand Up team has this confidence! ”

Hideki Tojo laughed, and in an instant, he burst into laughter and said in a deep voice: "Do you dare to make a military order?!" ”

"Why don't you dare!"

"Well, then, you and I are waiting for your good news. Matsui, please choose a few who are familiar with the terrain of North China and act with Ono-kun! ”

"Hay!"
