Eight officers were killed in an attack on the pass position, and one of them was still the captain of the Daisa cascade.

That's right, before the Japanese Front Command's order to demote Nakagawa Ninkiyoshi was signed and confirmed by the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi, Nakagawa Ninkiyoshi's identity was still a big sa. Even among the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, they can be regarded as high-level figures.

As a result, a Chinese lurked 500 meters from the position and blew it into a sieve with a shell.

Yes, at least a hundred people saw a lone sneak attacker leaping into the forest.

roared angrily and slapped the Japanese captain who came to report with a sad face seven or eight times, and Sakamoto Masaemon's anger value still rose: "Baga, shame, this is the shame of the Kwantung Army, this is the shame of the Imperial Army." At all costs, catch the Chinese who dares to sneak attack our army, I will peel off his skin and hang it at the mouth of Xifeng. ”

"Hey!" The Japanese captain covered his fat face, but he was relieved to receive the order.

In the past two days, His Excellency Sakamoto's anger has obviously risen, and the unlucky guy of Nakagawa Dasa has become Shaozo under his anger, not to mention, and he has lost his life, and now he has received a few slaps compared to that one, it is not a fart.

Watching the captain walk out of the headquarters, the commander of the mixed 14th Brigade on the side, Jiro Hattori, stepped forward and suggested: "Your Excellency Sakamoto, now that the two countries are in a truce, and we are being attacked by the Chinese, should we go to find trouble with the Chinese government, and by the way, report that our Kwantung Army was forced to apologize to the ignorant Shina people during the day today?" ”

During the day, under the pressure of condemnation from Western countries and the hard-line efforts of the Chinese government, the telegram sent by Sakamoto Masa's right door was calmly worded but obviously meant to bow his head, which still made the generals of the Kwantung Army feel a little unhappy.

"Hmm! Hattori-kun: That's a good idea. Sakamoto Masa's right door nodded thoughtfully, if he could use this as a problem and go to the Chinese government to find some ground, maybe he could turn a bad thing into a good thing.

"No." On the one hand, Okamura Ninji, deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, who was mainly in charge of Sino-Japanese negotiations, shook his head and said.

"What do you think about Okamura-kun?" Jiro Hattori was not very interested in this junior major general who had always been thoughtful, and naturally had some respect for the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters in his words.

This is still an extremely rare phenomenon in the Japanese army, which attaches great importance to rank. You must know that even if they are all major generals, Okamura Ninji is the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, and in terms of authority and status, he is much stronger than Hattori Jiro, the commander of the mixed brigade.

But Sakamoto Masa's right door didn't seem to see Hattori Jiro's unreasonableness, but his eyes flashed slightly, and he set his eyes on Okamura Ninji, who made inappropriate remarks, and took the initiative to ignore this matter.

In fact, if you know Okamura Ninji's current status in the Kwantung Army, it is not difficult to know why Okamura Ninji is so unpopular with the generals led by Sakamoto Masa's right gate.

As a deputy chief of staff, his own work should mainly assist the chief of staff, and Okamura Ninji, who could be parachuted directly from the military headquarters to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, became one of the leaders of the Kwantung Army Command after only one year in the Kwantung Army. Not to mention that the military department generally issues various military orders to the Kwantung Army through Okamura Ninji, even other subordinates of the General Staff Department, they also avoid the current chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Koshiki Kuniaki, and directly seek out the deputy chief of staff Okamura Ninji.

was able to make the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Koji Kunia, tearfully ask General Muto Nobuyoshi to hand in his resignation letter a few months ago, which shows how powerful Okamura Ninji, who is a celebrity in the military department, is in the Kwantung Army.

Otherwise, the person in charge of this negotiation with the Chinese side would not have been his turn, it should have been the matter of Koji Kuniaaki, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, even if it was General Muto Nobuyoshi, under pressure from the military department, he had to hand over this matter to Okamura Ninji.

However, Muto Nobuyoshi, who doesn't want to offend the military department, can be invisible, but as generals who have risen from the Kwantung Army system, they don't have that scruples, and although the generals led by the commander of the Sixth Division, Sakamoto Masaemon, will not embarrass this power-hungry and thoughtful deputy chief of staff in person, it is common for them not to treat Okamura Ninji as a superior.

However, Okamura Ninji is worthy of being the commander of the Japanese North China Front in the future, and he didn't seem to see Hattori Jiro's disrespect to him, but a smile on his face that people couldn't understand, and said: "I want to ask you, when we sent this inquiry message to the Chinese side, they replied, what is the identity of the attacker?" How do you and I answer? ”

"Do you need to ask? Definitely Chinese. Jiro Hattori said unconvinced.

"There is a saying in China: catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and take the stolen goods, I don't think Hattori-kun should not understand this truth!" A hint of ridicule flashed in Okamura Ninji's eyes, "If I don't know, I can say it more clearly, what about the evidence?" ”

"Joke, those weak Chinese, what evidence do I need in the Great Japanese Empire? If we need evidence for everything, what else do we want the Imperial Army to do? Hattori Jiro retorted disdainfully.

A trace of disdain flashed in Okamura Ninji's eyes, and he snorted lightly: "Hattori-kun, please be careful." Now the situation is different from what it used to be, with the inclusion of Rehe in the territory of the empire, the Chinese along the Great Wall cannot garrison troops, the strategic goals of the empire have been completed, and we can no longer make extraneous branches. The north of China is now like a powder keg, we can't let this powder keg explode easily, the whole empire is not fully ready. Of course, if it was a few years later, the gun in the hands of the imperial warriors would be the evidence, but now, no. ”

"Then catch the murderer, give them evidence, and the Chinese must give us an explanation." Hattori Jiro was embarrassed, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said viciously.

"Then it depends on the efforts of the monarchs, if the eyes of the warriors on the front line are not dazzled, a person who can run alone with hundreds of catties of mortars is definitely the most courageous warrior in China. That sneak attacker, what kind of army will it be? A hint of coldness also flashed in Okamura's eyes.

"The Great Wall Regiment, Liu Lang's people." Jiro Hattori gasped.

If we say what the Kwantung Army remembered in this Battle of the Great Wall, there is no doubt that Liu Lang and the Great Wall Regiment led by him have become the deepest memory left by this war to the Kwantung Army.

Although the Sixth Division and the two mixed brigades, the East and West armies did not face off against Liu Lang's Great Wall Regiment, but the Eighth Division and the 11th Brigade, which originally belonged to the Sixth Division, were beaten into dogs by the Great Wall Regiment.

But no one would think that the Eighth Division was weak and could become one of the eighteen permanent divisions of the empire, so how could the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division be weak? That can only be said that the Great Wall Regiment is too strong, and the bodies of 160 spearheads and 54 headless infantry squads brought back two days ago have proved the strong combat effectiveness of the enemy's spearheads.

"That's right, he is definitely the elite of the Great Wall Regiment, so we must catch him, preferably alive, so that we can have enough reason to fight back against the Great Wall Regiment and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the empire, I am sure that the Great Wall Regiment must be hiding in the mountains not far from us. This is our only chance. Okamura Ninji's eyes flashed with danger.

Okamura Ninji had a hunch that the Great Wall Regiment would definitely become a big scourge in the event of a full-scale war between the Empire and China in the future, especially the regimental commander named Liu Lang, who would be eliminated while he was weak.

Okamura Ningji was very shrewd, but he never expected that the person who came to fight the black cannon with a cannon was not the elite of the Great Wall Regiment, but Liu Lang himself.

He thought that his henchmen were in great trouble, and he didn't need to transfer any army, and at this moment, he was being driven by the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire with an infantry squadron of more than 200 people in the mountains.

If Okamura Ninji knew, he would definitely regret chewing his tongue here with a few idiots in his eyes, with this kung fu, he would have taken at least one wing of people to search the mountains a long time ago.

Unfortunately, he didn't know.

A pursuit unit of an infantry squadron was, in the opinion of a group of Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals, sufficient. Including the wise Major General Okamura Ninji.
