Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at the dull-eyed Higashikurenomiya Tsugahiko next to him, and said to Yamamoto Shigeo: "Yamamoto-kun, what is the situation now, I guess I don't need to say more, right?" ”

"Hello!" Shigeo Yamamoto paused heavily, and said, "I fully understand the lowly position! ”

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and said, "As a soldier, since I put on this military uniform, I am ready to sacrifice my life for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor at any time, and I also believe that all the imperial soldiers of the Second Army must have the same belief as me, and it is their honor to be able to fight for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor at the last moment!" ”

"Hello!" Shigeo Yamamoto paused, "I also have some beliefs, and it is the greatest honor of the humble office to be able to fight until the last moment for the empire and for His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"No, no, your special operations brigade can't do it!" Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "It's not easy for the empire to choose and train a strategic-level armed force like your special operations brigade!" Moreover, it is easy for your special operations brigade to break through, so you can't stay here and wait for death at all, you can break through alone! ”

"Nani?" Shigeo Yamamoto was stunned and said, "Break through alone? ”

Shigeo Yamamoto originally thought that Yoshio Shinozuka called him over to ask their special operations team to hold on to the last moment and fight until the last moment, but he didn't expect that they would be asked to break through alone.

"That's right, break out alone!" Yoshio Shinozuka bowed his head lightly and said, "However, you have to bring His Highness Tsugahiko!" ”

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "His Royal Highness Tsugahiko is a member of the imperial family, which is not only related to the image of the empire, but also to the image of the imperial family, so he must not fall into the hands of the Chinese army!" ”

"Hello!" Shigeo Yamamoto was stunned and said, "I understand my humble position!" ”

"Do you really understand?" Yoshio Shinozuka deliberately emphasized, "Yamamoto-kun, I mean, His Royal Highness Tsukihiko must not fall into the hands of the Shina army, absolutely!" ”

"Hello!" Yamamoto Shigeo shook his head and said, "I fully understand my humble position!" ”

Shigeo Yamamoto has indeed understood that what Yoshio Shinozuka means is that if the special operations team fails to break through, he must also preemptively execute Higashikurenomiya Tsuhiko, and he cannot be caught by the Chinese alive!

Otherwise, it would be a shame to let Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko become the second Fujita Shin!

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily, and bowed deeply according to Shigeo Yamamoto, "Yamamoto-kun, His Royal Highness Tsugahiko will entrust it to you!" ”

"Hello!" Shigeo Yamamoto paused again, then stood up and walked away.

Seeing Shigeo Yamamoto's figure go away, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth.

The next moment, Yoshio Shinozuka thrust the saber in his hand into the mud next to him, and said loudly: "Order, all divisions and regiments and all directly subordinate wings must hold their existing positions until the last moment!" ”

Although there is no hope of breaking through, Yoshio Shinozuka still doesn't want to give up easily.

What if, what if they waited for the 15th Division, for reinforcements?

……

Let's go back and talk about Shigeo Yamamoto.

Returning to the temporary station with Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko, more than 200 members of the special operations team stood up in unison.

Today, Shigeo Yamamoto's special operations brigade may be the only fully formed brigade in the entire Second Army! Whether it is a baggage brigade, an engineer brigade, an artillery brigade or an infantry brigade, there is no longer a complete formation, and I am afraid that even a complete squadron cannot be found!

"All of them!" Shigeo Yamamoto's gaze swept over the faces of more than two hundred team members, and then said, "Change your clothes, immediately change into the military uniform of the Shina Army!" ”

The special operations brigade is equipped with the summer uniform of the Chinese army!

After receiving the order, more than 200 team members quickly took out the Chinese army uniforms issued in advance from their backpacks, and changed into the Japanese-style military uniforms on their bodies as quickly as possible.

Within a moment, a small unit of more than 200 Nationalist troops "suddenly" appeared in the deepest part of the Japanese position.

Seeing this neatly groomed "national army," nearby Japanese engineers, artillerymen, and baggage soldiers all looked sideways.

Shigeo Yamamoto's gaze fell on the backpacks arranged in a row on the ground, and said: "Leave one water bead for each person, two hundred bullets, a Soviet-style bayonet, and the rest of the equipment, all thrown away!" Throw it all away! ”

More than 200 team members quickly moved again to take the equipment that Shigeo Yamamoto had mentioned.

All the remaining equipment, as well as the entire military backpack, was left in place!

Shigeo Yamamoto ordered two more team members to step forward and help up Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko, and then raised his right hand into a knife, and then according to everything in the northeast direction, he shouted: "Open the way!" ”

More than 200 team members turned around one after another and drove at full speed in the northeast direction.

Shigeo Yamamoto deliberately took two steps, walked to Hojoji's side, and said in a low voice: "Hojo-kun, our entire special operations brigade is the best in your marksmanship, so I will give you a glorious and arduous task!" ”

"Hello!" Hojoji paused slightly, "Please show Your Excellency Osa!" ”

"From now on, take care of His Highness Tsukihiko for me!" Shigeo Yamamoto said in a low voice, "If you can guarantee the safety of Your Highness, you should ensure his safety at all costs, and if you can't, you know what to do!" ”

"Hello!" Hojoji's expression froze, and he paused and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I know what to do!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Shigeo Yamamoto patted Hojoji on the shoulder, and quickly quickened his pace back to the front of the group, and in a few moments, the stout figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.

……

At this time, on the mountain road from Hankou to Yunwu Mountain.

Zhong Yi and Zhu Liangcheng personally led the 367 Brigade Special Operations Brigade to the north at the speed of a forced march!

Zhu Liangcheng ran a few steps to catch up with Zhong Yi, and asked with a breath: "Ziren, do you think that the old devil of Dongjiu Miyahiko will really break through alone with Yamamoto Shigeo's special combat team?" ”

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" Zhong Yi said, "In case Higashikurenomiya Tsuruhiko really breaks through with the Yamamoto brigade, and we are defenseless, wouldn't we let this old devil slip away?" After a pause, he said, "If you really let the old devil of Higashikuru Palace slip away, then this battle can't be considered a success." ”

"Complete?" Zhu Liang said, "It's already a big victory, is it so important to be successful?" ”

"Important! Very important! More important than you think! Zhong Yi said very seriously, "If you finally kill Higashikure Palace Tsuruhiko, it's fine, but if you can capture this old devil alive and rebel against him like Fujita Shin, then the blow to the country of Japan and the human race is immeasurable!" ”

After a pause, he said: "At least five group armies!" ”

"Captured alive? Formulate? Zhu Liangcheng looked confused.

Zhong Yi said: "You have to try, right?" ”
