"yes."
The telegraph operator immediately sent the telegram to Kawaguchi Yukiji, acting division commander of the 4th Division.
At this time, Kawaguchi Koji was watching a kabuki performance in an izakaya.
When the messenger hurriedly delivered the telegram to him, he was completely stunned.
"What? Are you sure the translation is correct? The communist army was discovered near the magic city, and they actually dared to ambush the imperial army?"
Kawaguchi Yukiji's eyes widened.
In his understanding, this is the rear area, thousands of kilometers away from the front line.
Will communist troops appear here?
It made him think.
"It's true, the division commander has repeatedly confirmed with Captain Higashiye that the communist army has indeed been found, at least the size of a squadron. Captain Higashiye has wiped out all of them, and the corpses are placed at the checkpoint."
"In addition, Captain Higashiye suspects that if these communist troops dare to openly attack the imperial army in the capital, there must be internal agents in the city and require a city-wide manhunt."
"City-wide manhunt? No!"
Although Kawaguchi Koji drank a lot, he still had basic judgment.
As the core area of their rule in the mainland, the Magic City is of great importance.
If a city-wide manhunt is carried out rashly, the impact will be extremely bad.
It will affect the confidence of businessmen from all over the place.
If there is an impact on tax revenue, they are all to blame.
Therefore, unless it is a last resort, Kawaguchi Yukiji will not agree.
"A city-wide search is definitely not possible. Ask Captain Higashino if he has any key clues."
Kawaguchi Koji stood up as he spoke.
"Go back to the division headquarters immediately, call all the troops on duty, and set off immediately. Come with me to the location of the incident."
Kawaguchi Yukiji took the car directly back to the division headquarters.
He led a regiment on duty to the checkpoint.
Then, he was stunned by the scene here.
At this time, the checkpoint was littered with corpses and the smell of burning was everywhere.
A bloody mess.
There were many weapons piled nearby, many of them damaged.
"How is this going?"
Kawaguchi Koji asked quickly.
"This is a group of communist troops. The Imperial Army, disguised as a checkpoint here, wanted to ambush us, but I saw through it and defeated them in one fell swoop."
Wei Wu said quickly.
"How are you sure they are from the Communist Army?"
Kawaguchi Koji asked with a frown.
"You know what the Imperial Army is like, but after seeing my military vehicles and uniforms, this group of Imperial Army soldiers not only refused to let me go, but also forced them to board the vehicle for inspection. This was not in line with common sense, so I observed carefully. I found that they were actually wearing communist army clothes under the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army."
"I knew these people were disguised as communist troops, so I eliminated them in one fell swoop."
"Division Commander, you know that the Communist Army has always been cunning. There will definitely not be just such a lone army ambushing me here. There will definitely be other troops around to respond."
"I suspect that they have penetrated into the city. Now I request a city-wide manhunt to capture the remaining communist troops in one fell swoop."
As Wei Wu spoke, he took out a tattered bloody coat.
The clothes had been torn to pieces and were stained with blood and stains.
It's almost impossible to tell what it was originally.
But Wei Wu said it was the uniform of the Communist army, that is.
If anyone doubts it, they must provide evidence to prove why it is not the case.
After listening to Wei Wu's narration, Kawaguchi Yukiji believed 80%.
Wei Wu's analysis is well-founded and very consistent with his understanding of the Communist army.
But, again, a city-wide manhunt will definitely not work.
"Are there any key clues?"
Kawaguchi Koji asked.
"There is a guess."
Wei Wu said.
"tell me the story."
"This communist army is wearing complete uniforms of the Imperial Association Army. However, in recent times, there has been no news of battle losses of the Imperial Association Army. Therefore, if these costumes are not captured on the battlefield, then where did these costumes come from? ?”
Wei Wu analyzed.
"What do you think?"
Kawaguchi Yukiji stared at Wei Wu.
"I think there must be someone inside selling the uniforms of the Imperial Alliance Army to the Communist Army, so that the Communist Army can openly appear outside the Magic City."
"And the checkpoint happens to be under the jurisdiction of the Magic City Security Command. I think there must be an insider inside the Magic City Security Command."
"If we want to investigate, the Magic City Police Headquarters should be a good direction."
Wei Wu said.
"That makes sense."
Kawaguchi Yukiji also felt that Wei Wu's analysis was very reasonable.
The uniforms of the Imperial Alliance Army are all custom-made.
Outsiders cannot obtain it through normal means.
Since there have been no battle losses of the Imperial Alliance Army recently, someone must have secretly resold the uniforms of the Imperial Alliance Army.
The Security Command, as the supervisor, is the biggest suspect.
The most important thing is that the Communist army quietly reached the entrance of the magic city and openly ambushed the Japanese army.
This incident had a very bad impact.
If the report goes up, all Japanese troops stationed in Magic City will be notified and criticized.
At least a charge of being unfavorable in defending one's territory cannot be escaped.
It may not be like that for others, but he is different.
His division commander is still acting.
After being charged with this crime, it would be difficult for him, the acting division commander, to become a full-time official.
Therefore, he must find someone to bear this crime.
The Magic City Security Command is a good candidate.
The rank is sufficient and the portion is sufficient.
If it's done well, you might even be rewarded for uncovering the traitor within.
In fact, the matter of regularization has been implemented.
Thinking of this, Kawaguchi Koji's eyes lit up.
For the sake of his position, he must also make this matter a solid case.
This matter must be done by the Magic City Security Command.
Someone with a high enough position must be found to take the blame.
"I understand, the security headquarters must take responsibility. Immediately lead troops to surround the security headquarters to prevent prisoners from escaping."
Kawaguchi Yukiji said.
Wei Wu was overjoyed to see Kawaguchi Yukiji so wise.
With Kawaguchi Yukiji standing in front, there is no need for him to charge forward.
Moreover, the power Kawaguchi can mobilize is also greater.
He just needs to follow behind and add fuel to the fire.
"Division Commander, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Wei Wu asked respectfully.
Seeing Wei Wu's respectful look, Kawaguchi Yukiji was very satisfied.
I feel that this co-captain is very wise, and maybe he can be trained as a confidant.
"Immediately lead troops to surround the Magic City Security Headquarters to prevent the prisoners from escaping."
Kawaguchi Yukiji said.
"clear!"
Wei Wu immediately led his men towards the Magic City Security Headquarters.
Except for some people who stayed in place to guard the scene, the rest of them all rushed to the Magic City Police Headquarters in their cars.
Soon, everyone arrived at their destination.
"Surround this place for me. Anyone who wants to leave will be regarded as a traitor to the empire and allowed to be killed on the spot."
Wei Wu issued the order.
"yes!"
Everyone got out of the car and surrounded the security headquarters building.
