Zhengzhou, Headquarters of the Second Army.

When he was in France, Higashikure's private life was extremely erosive, and he lived a life of day and night.

But now, Higashikure's schedule has been changed to a standard military schedule, unless there is an urgent military business, he must rest before ten o'clock, and he must get up at six o'clock in the morning!

This morning, Higashikure got up at six o'clock again, and then wore a kimono to practice swords in the courtyard.

Playing against Higashikure Twist were four sturdy attendants, although Higashikuri Twist was fifty years old, and he still fought with one against four, but he still killed four squires on their backs.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the attendants dare not make a dead hand.

But even if this is the case, it also shows that Tohisuka is good at swordsmanship.

Twenty minutes later, Higashikure was already full of temple sweat.

The four attendants were also beaten with a wooden knife from Higashikure, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

At that moment, Higashikuri threw the wooden knife away, and said angrily: "Don't practice, it's boring!" ”

"Hello!" When the four guards heard this, they immediately withdrew their swords, and then slammed their heads.

Tokuru threw the wooden knife to one of the attendants and said, "Next time, if you are still like this, I will send you to the front!" ”

"Hello!" The four guards paused again, secretly happy in their hearts.

Although it is very honorable to serve as the royal guard, in contrast, they hope to go to the front line to make contributions and earn a glory for themselves and their families!

Higashikuri took the hot towel from another guard, wiped his face, and said, "Radio!" ”

"Hello!" The guard hurried into the room and put the radio on the coffee table in the courtyard, and at the same time called the interpreter over.

Higashikure walked to a chair and sat down, originally intending to listen to NHK's Hirome, but halfway through, he casually tuned the radio to China's central radio station.

A pleasant female voice immediately came from the radio.

The interpreter standing next to him hurriedly translated the female voice into Japanese.

"Listeners and friends, good morning, today is half past six in the morning of July 1, 27th year of the Republic of China, I am your old friend Xiao Bing."

"Before we start broadcasting, I would like to have good news for you! The battle of Wuhan was won in the first battle! ”

"Less than two hours ago, the 1st Regiment of the 367th Brigade under the Wuhan Garrison Command, with the coordination of the artillery groups of the Guishan Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress, launched a fierce night counterattack, annihilating the 40th Infantry Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop! The entire wing of more than 3,600 people, all of whom were killed by our army, and none of them escaped the net! ”

Higashikuru just poured himself a glass of cold boiled water, picked it up and prepared to drink it.

Suddenly, when he heard the news, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

I only heard a crackle, the teacup fell and shattered, and the tea also spilled out, splashing Higashikuri with a kick!

Fortunately, this is cold water, not hot, but Higashikuri is still like being scalded by boiling water, jumping up!

"Nani?" Higashikuri said in disbelief, "The 40th Infantry Wing of the Tenth Division was completely annihilated?" An infantry wing, and that's it? ”

The guards around him also looked at each other.

……

In Xiaogan, the 10th Division was stationed.

As soon as six o'clock, the commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, got up on time and ordered to pull out at the same time!

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka is commanding more than a dozen operational staff officers of the division and regimental headquarters to dismantle and pack the tents! The dismantling and packing of the canvas tent is manual work, and it is now July, the hottest season of the year, so Yoshio Shinozuka has only been working for less than half an hour, and he is already tired and sweating!

"Division Commander, how do you do this work yourself?" The chief of staff happened to come over, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly persuaded him, "These chores will be handed over to his subordinates to do well!" ”

"It's fine." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "I'll make the bag right away!" ”

The embankment was not expensive, so he had no choice but to come over and pack with Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka pressed the tent hard and asked, "The embankment is not clamped, and Xiaogan's garrison work has been arranged?" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujiagui replied while putting the tent into the canvas cover, "Considering that Xiaogan also has an airport, a brigade was specially transferred from the 63rd Infantry Wing to garrison it!" ”

"Yo Si! If there is an infantry brigade, it will be no problem. Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily and added, "Oh yes, has the Tottori United been notified?" In the past half month, the advance of the Tottori United team has been too smooth, and I am very worried that Nishiojo-kun will underestimate the enemy, and Zhong Yi is an extremely cunning and fierce opponent, if you are not careful, something will happen! ”

Di Bugui's face immediately sank, and he said, "Division commander, I just wanted to tell you about this. ”

After a pause, Tsutsumi Bugui continued: "Just now, I didn't contact the Tottori United!" ”

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Didn't get in touch? ”

"Hello!" Di Bu Gui said suddenly, "The lowly duty has asked the signal corps to call many times, but there has been no reply!" ”

"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly became more and more embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Nishidaijo is a fat idiot, what kind of fame is he doing?" ”

Di Bujiagui said in a deep voice: "Division commander, I am very suspicious of my humble position, Nishi-Ojo-kun deliberately cut off the communication!" ”

"Deliberately cut off communications?" Yoshio Shinozuka's expression moved slightly, and he said, "You mean, Nishi-Ojo-kun was worried that I would prevent the Tottori United from attacking Hankou directly, so that's why he did this?" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia Gui Dun said, "Nishiojo-kun must want to resume reading through after capturing Hankou, so that the division commander wants to stop it, and he can't stop them!" ”

"If that's the case, I'm not worried." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "I'm worried that something may have happened to the Tottori United!" ”

"Something has happened?" Di Bu Jia Gui said, "Division commander, this can't be, right?" ”

After a pause, Di Bugui said again: "This is an infantry wing, no matter how cunning Zhong Yi is, no matter how fierce he is, it is impossible to eat the Tottori wing silently!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked over.

The communications staff officer walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka and said with a pause: "Division commander, the headquarters is in an emergency!" ”

"Command emergency?" Yoshio Shinozuka's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Read! ”

"Hello!" The communications staff officer unfolded the telegram and read it aloud, "Yoshio Shinozuka, what's going on with the 40th Infantry Wing?" Why did the China broadcast that the 40th Infantry Wing had been completely wiped out? Investigate and report now! ”

"Nani?" Di Bujia Gui was stunned when he heard this, and the 40th Infantry Wing was completely annihilated?

Yoshio Shinozuka changed his face in an instant.
