"Commander, it's all my fault, I was hot-headed at the time, so I promised you to fight with the pseudo-spies, and I didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a guard at all....Commander, if I had been resolute in my attitude and resolutely exercised my responsibilities as a guard, this would not have happened. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang will not...."After listening to the words of Commander Liu Hua, Zhang Tao, who is the leader of Liu Hua's personal guard squad, immediately regretted it, and his words were full of self-blame..."Okay, squad leader Zhang, now is not the time for us to be sad." Although our reinforcements are outside, there are still about ten frenzied pseudo-agents downstairs, and we are not out of danger yet. Don't cry and be ready to fight at any time. If nothing else, these agents will definitely launch their last decisive attack on us before they die...."Seeing the two guards in front of them who were sad and regretful. As the commander, Liu Hua quickly reacted from his sadness and ordered the two.

"Yes, Commander, we must avenge the sacrificed comrades and eliminate all the spies downstairs..."After listening to Liu Hua's order, the two of them quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and said affirmatively while loading their shell guns with bullets, their tones were full of hatred.

However, at this moment, a strong aroma of wine quickly reached the noses of several people through the staircase. The fresh aroma of wine made several people who had smoked the gunsmoke for more than ten minutes couldn't help but take a few sips. However, after smelling the strong aroma of wine, Commander Liu Hua did not have any joy, and he frowned. Because, his first feeling was that the pseudo-spies downstairs must have some bad ideas.

"Squad Leader Zhang, why did such a strong smell of wine suddenly appear, is it that the pseudo-spies below have any other plans. You go over and take a look, but you must be careful.0..."Smelling the strong aroma of wine, Commander Liu Hua ordered with a frown.

"Yes, Commander..."After receiving the order, Zhang Tao hurriedly loaded the shell gun bullets full of bullets in his hand, and slowly touched the staircase. Through a huge gap blown out by the grenade explosion, the situation on the first floor was clearly displayed in Zhang Tao's eyes..."Bang bang bang..."However, just when Zhang Tao wanted to continue to observe, several gunshots rang out, and several spies who had been serving as guards downstairs saw Zhang Tao sticking out his head, and quickly pulled the trigger of the shell gun in his hand. A series of bullets quickly shot onto the floor beside Zhang Tao, splashing piles of wood chips. And Zhang Tao, the guard squad leader, quickly retracted his head as soon as he heard the gunshot, avoiding the enemy's shots.

"Commander, the enemy below is really ruthless. They were spilling jars of liquor all over the restaurant. If nothing else, these enemies plan to burn down the restaurant and die with us before our reinforcements arrive. Seeing the commander Liu Hua, who had been frowning, Zhang Tao, the guard squad leader, hurriedly told what he saw. At the same time, he said his thoughts..."What, burn down the restaurant, and we will die together....suffer, this restaurant is basically wooden, if you add a lot of spirits, it is almost a catch... Hey, I thought of everything at the beginning, why didn't I think that the enemy might attack with fire? "When I heard the words "burn the restaurant", I saw that almost all of the surrounding furniture and walls were made of wood. Commander Liu Hua couldn't help but say with a burst of regret.

"Don't worry, Commander, even if you die, we will keep you safe," said the two remaining guards, almost at the same time.

"Comrades, rush... The commander is upstairs, he is already surrounded by enemies, he must rescue the commander, destroy all the enemies, rush..."Just as the three of them walked back and forth in the restaurant, thinking about possible solutions. A loud shout of killing came from outside the window.

Hearing the shouts of killing, several people quickly stretched out their heads and looked out. I saw that about a battalion of guards, under the command of a battalion commander, quickly surrounded the restaurant where they were. At the same time, the soldiers of a company, under the command of the battalion commander, shouted loud slogans and began to launch the first round of attacks against the few remaining pseudo-spies on the first floor.

"Da-da-da... Suddenly, the crisp sound of the shell guns and the dull firing of rifle light machine guns began to sound in the streets. The fighters who rushed to the front were the first to bear the brunch. The moment the gunshots rang out, he was shot and fell in a pool of blood. However, under the fire of the fighters' rifle light machine guns, the wooden gate could not stop the rifle bullets at all. After a messy burst of gunfire, six or seven pseudo-spies hiding behind the door trying to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army fell in a pool of blood at the same time.

As the shouts of the soldiers got closer and closer, on the entire first floor, there were dozens of spies, and only the commander-in-chief Ichiki Shaosa and Captain Nakata were left. I saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army approaching the gate quickly, and I saw the restaurant that had been sprinkled with spirits. As the commander-in-chief, Ichiki Shaozo did not have any panic, but a sneer.

"Nakata-kun, although today we will be broken here. However, Liu Hua, the biggest enemy of the empire, gave us a burial, and we died. I am confident that the Empire will always remember our name, and at the same time, our descendants will be taken care of by others. Nakata-kun, immediately light the fire, let the Eighth Route Army outside know that it is impossible for the Empire to be defeated..."Looking at the Eighth Route Army that was getting closer and closer, Ichiki Shaozo couldn't help but sneer, and ordered to Captain Nakata who was holding a torch beside him.

"Boom...", as the torch in Captain Nakata's hand slowly approached the liquor on the ground. There was a loud burning sound, and the spirits on the ground were ignited by the torches at once. A flicker of flames, along the ground spirits, quickly spread to the entire restaurant. At the same time, all kinds of wooden furniture in the restaurant also joined the burning ranks under the burning fire....

Seeing the entire first floor, in an instant, it turned into a sea of fire, and the two remaining military spies also fell into the sea of fire. The few soldiers who had just rushed to the door of the restaurant were immediately blocked by the raging fire. At the same time, Liu Hua and others, who were on the second floor of the restaurant, were also shrouded in the smoke generated by the fire for the first time.

"Ahem... Commander, the only way to escape now is to jump off the building... Commander, hurry up, jump from the window immediately, it's too late..."In a burst of coughing, the guard squad leader Zhang Tao's eyes were on the window on the second floor, and he quickly reminded the commander in front of him, who was also covering his nose.

In fact, without Zhang Tao's reminder, Liu Hua also knows that the easiest way to escape from the entire fire is to jump off the building. After listening to Zhang Tao's suggestion, without any hesitation, he immediately climbed up to the window. He jumped up and jumped downstairs.

"Click—" There was a crisp sound of bones cracking, followed by a piercing pain in his mind. The severe pain made Liu Hua, who had just landed, couldn't help grinning his teeth. Just when Liu Hua endured the sharp pain in his right leg and wanted to stand up. The pain in his right leg was unbearable, and he didn't listen to his command no matter what. And Liu Hua, who was forced to be helpless, could only sit on the ground and wait, waiting for the arrival of rescuers.

Because, from the sound of the bone breaking just now and the stinging pain now, he felt that his right leg must be broken. If you move around, you may not be able to recover properly. The only thing that can be done now is to wait....

"Commander, the commander jumped from the stairs ... Quick, stretcher..."Just when Liu Hua was just sitting on the ground, an exclamation reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, I saw two soldiers, carrying stretchers under the command of a commander, quickly running towards me. As for what happened next, you can imagine ....

After being bandaged in the field hospital of the headquarters, it was determined that there was nothing wrong. After getting the news, the chief of staff hurriedly rushed into the ward and came to the commander's bed..."Doctor Luo, the commander's leg is fine, right?" looked at the commander who was lying on the hospital bed with one leg tightly tied by a bandage. The political commissar hurriedly asked the doctor beside him.

"Report to the political commissar, there is no major problem, as long as the commander rests for a month, he can fully recover, and there will definitely be no sequelae..."Hearing the political commissar's question, Dr. Luo quickly replied. After checking the bandages, he left the ward..."Commander, you're scared us to death. If you have three longs and two shorts, what should the troops do, what should such a large military region do... This Zhang Tao, how did he become the guard squad leader... Chief of Staff, close him up immediately, when will he understand his mistake, and when will he let him out..."Seeing the commander who was safe and sound, the political commissar said with a sigh of relief. However, when I thought of the guard squad leader next to the commander, the political commissar was still angry..."Political commissar, don't blame squad leader Zhang, everything is decided by me alone, they just obey orders." It's just that I didn't expect the little devil to use such a ruthless trick as burning jade, it seems that I still underestimated the power of the pseudo-spy..."Hearing that the political commissar wanted to close Zhang Tao's tight seal, Commander Liu Hua hurriedly reminded.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Hua to say, the political commissar knows the reason. However, in order to avoid another adventure for the commander, the commissar did not let go of such a good opportunity. "Commander, you alone are related to the fate of our entire army, and today because of your violation of discipline, you almost caused serious losses. Therefore, in order to set an example, I have decided to report this matter to the Party Central Committee so that the chairman can punish you..."

"Ahh Commissar. I promise that such a mistake will never be made again, and you will not bother the chairman. The chairman said that there are many opportunities, how can such a trivial matter trouble people? "I heard that the political commissar was going to report this matter to the Central Committee. Liu Hua couldn't help but feel nervous for a while, and hurriedly said.

Seeing the commander in front of him, who seemed to have made a decision, the commissar nodded. Because, his purpose has been achieved: "Commander, since you have made a guarantee, I will press this telegram first." If you put yourself in danger again, I will definitely report it to the central authorities...."

And just when Commander Liu Hua was resting in the ward protected by a serious illness. The two military spies who were left behind by Ichiki Shaozo to send the final information. In the basement of an intelligence station, he quickly sent what he had just seen to the North China Garrison Headquarters.

However, to the disappointment of the two spies, for fear of retaliation from the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, the two spies quickly retreated to the intelligence station to send a telegram just when they saw the restaurant burning in flames. And Liu Hua jumped off the building and was rescued, but the two of them didn't know at all.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the latest information from the Taiyuan Intelligence Department..."After receiving the battle plan from Ichiki Shaoza, Okamura Ningji, as the commander, also knew that if Liu Hua could really die in their hands, then the North China garrison would lose a strong opponent. And the time for the heroic imperial army to recapture too far will also be shortened because of Liu Hua's death.

Thinking of the various favorable results after the successful assassination of Liu Hua, Okamura Ningji's mood can be said to be very excited. Therefore, after receiving the telegram from Kazuki Shaosa, he has been staying in his office, anxiously waiting for the final result of this assassination operation.

"Chief of Staff, what's the situation, how is the situation with Kazuki Shaosa...."Seeing the Chief of Staff who hurriedly rushed into his office, Senior General Okamura Ninji hurriedly asked.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Ichiki Shaozo and his 26 agents, in order to assassinate Liu Hua, the commander of the Reading Division, all of them have been shattered, and they have sacrificed their precious lives for the sake of the empire..."Seeing the commander with an anxious face, the chief of staff hurriedly replied.

"What, all the jade shatters... In other words, Liu Hua did not die, and the assassination operation was not successful....Yaga..."General Okamura Ninji couldn't help but muttered to himself..."No, Your Excellency Commander... Although all the jade of the Ichiki Shaosa Action Group was broken. However, before they died, they died together with Liu Hua, the commander of the reading division... This is the specific battle story sent by the Taiyuan Intelligence Station, and His Excellency the Light Commander has seen it..."As he spoke, the chief of staff handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Ninji.

"Nani? All together..."Okamura Ninji opened his mouth, took the telegram, and began to read it with a puzzled face.

"Yo Xi, Ichiki Shaozo is worthy of being the hero of the Great Empire. However, although Liu Hua was caught in the fire, we cannot confirm that Liu Hua is dead. The chief of staff immediately sent a telegram to the intelligence station in Taiyuan, asking to confirm whether Liu Hua had died. At the same time, the two field divisions that were engaged in a confrontation with the Shanxi Reading Division were ordered to immediately prepare for battle. If it is confirmed that Liu Hua is dead, I will take advantage of the fact that the Reading Force Master is in chaos and launch a surprise attack..."Okamura Ninji did not lose his mind while being excited, but ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, I'll do it right away.," the Chief of Staff took the order.

However, just when the two intelligence officers of the Taiyuan intelligence station had just received a telegram from the headquarters and were about to go out to conduct reconnaissance. Their den has been surrounded by warriors. Under the accurate fire of the snipers, the two spies collapsed in a pool of blood before they could destroy the information they had just received.

At the same time, all the information in the entire intelligence station was also sent to the intelligence department as soon as possible. As a result, the telegram from the headquarters of the Chinese army, which had just been captured by the intelligence station, was also translated as soon as possible. And just when Commander Liu Hua was lying on the bed and studying the map in his hand, Meng Zhongheng, director of the Intelligence Division, knocked on the door of Liu Hua's ward with a telegram that had just been captured.

"Come in..." Hearing a hurried knock on the door, Liu Hua hurriedly ordered. As the door was pushed open, Meng Zhongheng, the intelligence director who rarely took the initiative to find him, appeared in front of him.

"Report to the commander, we have seized a very important piece of information when we were clearing the intelligence station of the Japanese army. It was sent to Taiyuan half an hour ago by the headquarters of the North China Garrison of the Chinese Army. I need you to deal with it personally...."Seeing the commander, Meng Zhongheng didn't hesitate and said the reason why he came over straight to the point. At the same time, the translated telegram was handed to Liu Hua.

"What? Okamura Ninji asked me about my current condition, whether I was dead? Looking at the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, in just a split second, a huge plan suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Director Meng, you go back first, and I'll tell you the result as soon as I have it..." With a hint of thought, Liu Hua immediately wanted to discuss with the chief of staff of the political commissar, so he issued an order to expel the guest. And as soon as Meng Zhongheng left his ward, Commander Liu Hua shouted at the guards guarding the door.

"Guards, immediately notify the political commissar and chief of staff to come over, be quick, I have something urgent to find them..."

Soon, under Liu Hua's constant urging, the political commissar and the chief of staff came to Liu Hua's ward out of breath. Seeing the commander who was sitting on the bed, deep in thought and not saying a word, political commissar Luo Ronghuan hurriedly asked: "Commander, is there something wrong with calling us over in such a hurry..."

"Commissar, Chief of Staff. You're coming. Hurry up and sit down, you will first take a look at a telegram seized by the intelligence department, after I saw the telegram, I suddenly had an idea, so I want to consult with you to see if the idea in my heart is feasible. Seeing the two people who were panting, Liu Hua hurriedly said. At the same time, he handed over the telegram that he had read countless times in his hand to the hands of two people.
