Major General Matsumoto seems to have returned to his pre-war high-spirited days.

Compared with the garrison brigade, the field brigade not only has one more field infantry brigade and is better equipped, but also can get more attention from the North China Army Aviation and its superiors.

In the future, if he asks for air support from the air force again, he will definitely no longer ask for help as before.

At this time, Matsumoto seemed to have thought of the beautiful picture of the new regiment being killed by himself and his troops after the mixed brigade regained its combat effectiveness.

"General, something happened!" Suddenly, the captain of the Fifth Brigade, who was in charge of security in the city, rushed in, and as soon as he saw Matsumoto, he hurriedly reported.

Matsumoto's good mood early in the morning disappeared all at once, and he frowned and asked, "What's the matter, the morning is not stable!" ”

"Ono-kun, Zongzheng-jun, and Hirota-kun, they have an accident, and their families and dozens of guards who are following them are also in trouble!" The captain stubbornly reported.

Matsumoto's mind immediately thought of the three businessmen who had been drinking with him a few days ago.

As a soldier, and also a high-ranking officer of the empire, Matsumoto actually looked down on them businessmen in his heart. However, behind these three people, without exception, all stand chaebols who control a large amount of the empire's resources.

Not only that, but his political backstage and these chaebols have a lot of connections.

For the sake of their own military future, and for their own brigades to get more support from these chaebols in the future, to ensure that the supplies are sufficient. Major General Matsumoto had to force a smile to eat with them, drink, and get on good terms.

It can be said that for such a person, even if he is a general, he cannot afford to offend.

Not only that, but the headquarters also sent a telegram to themselves to protect them.

Now, the subordinates in front of him actually told themselves that such an important three people had an accident in their jurisdiction. Matsumoto, who thought it was nothing at first, was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: "What do you say, say it again!" ”

"General, the three chambers of commerce that you asked us to focus on protecting, their presidents and their families, as well as dozens of guards, were all killed."

"Who did it!" Matsumoto immediately asked.

The angry face showed a direct expression of wanting to kill, if the murderer was standing in front of him now, it was certain that Matsumoto would definitely draw his command knife and chop him alive.

The presidents of these three chambers of commerce are too important, if you let the above know that they died in their own jurisdiction, and they were killed along with their families.

Matsumoto was sure that his superiors would reprimand him. If you lose the battle in front, your superiors can turn a blind eye. But this matter in front of him is not good, because these people who were killed have the ability to reach the sky, and if someone above speaks, even if the headquarters wants to protect themselves, they can't protect themselves.

And the only way to solve this problem is to find the murderer immediately and kill him.

Only in this way can I have an explanation to the above, and I have a reason to speak to myself in the background.

The captain immediately replied: "It's the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army left a letter at the scene, which said?" ”

"Say what?" Matsumoto immediately asked.

"It is said that this is the price we paid for the bombing of Tianjiazhuang, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries to Tianjiazhuang villagers. If the Imperial Army deliberately harms their civilians on the battlefield in the future, many Japanese will surely die next time...... Wang Ping, commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army! ”

Matsumoto, who was still angry just now, couldn't say a word at this time, although he was holding back his anger.

As a qualified soldier, he also knows that war is a soldier's business, and he can't be angry with ordinary people. And this incident was bombed by itself first, and then the other side retaliated and killed dozens of Japanese in response.

However, just let him, a Japanese general, swallow this anger, and then bear the anger above alone, Matsumoto will definitely not be able to accept it.

Just as he showed a gritted expression and frowned, thinking about how to slap this slap back, the chief of staff spoke.

"General, I think we must be cautious about this matter!"

Then he stared at the captain and asked: "You just said that the Japanese who were killed were all killed by the other party with bayonets, not with guns!" ”

"Hey!" The captain hurriedly replied.

The chief of staff's brows quickly twisted into a big Sichuan character, and said in a heavy tone: "General, there is a problem!" ”

"Killing a few chamber of commerce presidents, and using cold weapons all of them, the average elite of the Eighth Route Army may be able to do it. But if you want to kill dozens of guards at once, it's impossible! ”

"Those guards are all veterans of the Imperial Army, well-equipped, highly vigilant, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of an infantry squad in the field army!"

"And the Eighth Route Army that sneaked into the city can kill them all with cold weapons, and it doesn't attract anyone's attention, it's definitely not something that ordinary troops can do."

"If you are not mistaken, it should be the special forces of the Eighth Route Army!"

Matsumoto's face directly became serious: "Yes, it must be the special forces of the Eighth Route Army, only they have this ability." ”

Thinking of the special forces of the Eighth Route Army who had defeated him, Matsumoto's face became unprecedentedly dignified.

The idea of retaliating right away quickly was quickly suppressed.

If it is true that the special forces of the Eighth Route Army are coming, even if they take revenge on the past now, with the combat effectiveness of the special forces of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely have the ability to retaliate back immediately.

In this case, your revenge will go on endlessly.

China has people, and if the imperial army has been attacking ordinary people, it will definitely provoke more Chinese to stand up against the imperial army, and the gains outweigh the losses, and in the end it is the imperial army that suffers.

Although this result is very cruel, it is true.

After hesitating for a long time, Major General Matsumoto finally decided to drag.

The captain in front of him saw that Matsumoto had not spoken, and subconsciously reminded: "General, do you want to block the city gate immediately!" Find these cunning sneak attackers and destroy them! ”

"The Eighth Route Army is so arrogant, it simply doesn't take our imperial army seriously, and threatens us, how can we bear it!"

"Yaga!" Matsumoto scolded angrily.

"Don't you have a brain? How long has it been since the gates were opened, and do you think the Eighth Route Army will be so stupid as to stay in the city and wait for you to catch them? I'm sure they were out of the city long before you opened the gates! ”

"Order the gendarmerie squadron to investigate this matter, find out how the Eighth Route Army sneaked up on so many of us, whether they have any internal response in the city, and if so, kill them directly!"

"The city gate can't be blocked, I don't want to make the people of Linfen panic because dozens of Japanese were killed! Even if they have a special status, Linfen City must be stable! ”

"Also, inform the major teams that when they fight in the future, try not to attack the ordinary people of China. Fighting a war is a soldier's business, and venting anger on the common people is not the quality that a soldier should have! ”

The captain looked at Matsumoto in disbelief. Because, without exception, these orders told him that in the face of the threat of the Eighth Route Army, the brigade commander actually compromised.

Although I don't know what the reason is, the captain is still very happy to receive the order, as long as the responsibility of the dead is not pushed to himself!
