Matsui Iwane studied with more than thirty headquarters staff members for nearly two hours and speculated on various possibilities.
It was even speculated that the Dragon Boat Festival would continue its westward attack on Huishan Town.
However, there are too many possibilities, and Huishan Town is very close to Wuxi. Once Huishan Town is attacked, Wuxi will be the first to reinforce it.
Matsui Iwane felt that unless Danwu was really crazy, he would never take advantage of Huishan Town. He prefers that after the Dragon Boat Festival hits Kunshan County, he will go around the east side of Changshu and then take Haimen to cross the river from there. Then he will take the Nantong line from Beishan and then find a way back to Bengbu.
In other words, the end point of the Dragon Boat Festival is Bengbu, which Matsui Iwane is very sure of. After all, the Dragon Boat Festival troops are all in the Bengbu area.
"Yuhe, it seems that our troops can finally move. Let the Imperial Army in Nantong and Haimen move. It is very likely that the Dragon Boat Festival will cross the river from here. Let the Imperial Army in Changshu send out a reconnaissance team. I want Know exactly when to prepare to cross the river during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Order the Air Force Brigade to send out reconnaissance planes for investigation. I will cast a giant net. No matter where Dragon Boat Festival goes, planes from our empire will be chasing him, hahaha! "
Matsui Iwane laughed loudly, and at this time all the staff members unanimously praised the commander for his wisdom.
But at this time, before Matsui Iwane could order the messenger to deliver the order, a communications officer ran into the war room in a panic and reported: "Your Excellency, Huishan Town has been lost."
"Nani?"
Matsui Iwane was surprised because he never expected that another city would be captured so quickly during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was the town of Huishan that he least expected. What if the Chinese counterattacked?
In just four hours, the Dragon Boat Festival captured two cities one after another. Can all Chinese people fly?
"Bagaya Road, order the imperial army from Wuxi to rush to support quickly, and order the imperial army from the direction of Changzhou to outflank him. I want to surround the daring Duanwu in Huishan Town and trap him to death. I don't believe it anymore. There will be reinforcements coming to rescue him in our hinterland.
Order me to send a reconnaissance plane from the Air Force Brigade to follow Duanwu, and I must catch him. "
Matsui Iwane slammed the table angrily, and then all the little devils took action. Obviously this time, the little devil has begun to spend a lot of money to fight the Dragon Boat Festival to the death!
···············
At the same time, on the high seas, Xu Bowen had escaped the Japanese pursuit in his small steamer.
His boat was so fast that the little devil's patrol boat couldn't catch up. And the Japanese warships are even less able to catch up with such a small boat.
So although the Japanese were angry, it didn't help. They could only watch the small boat gradually disappear from their sight.
Of course, the Japs will not give up, because after intercepting all the way to no avail, the Japs also realized that the people who robbed the bank must have taken the waterway, and coupled with the strange behavior of this small steamer, then... We can't let it go anymore.
But even so, it may take a certain amount of time for the Japanese to find Xu Bowen's small fire wheel again. Because Xu Bowen, an old fox, did not go all the way east on the high seas, but turned northeast. He wanted to take a detour to Hawaii.
But at this time, Xu Bowen's unusual movements aroused Cao Ying's vigilance.
Duanwu had reminded Cao Ying before that Xu Bowen was very likely to rebel. Cao Ying still didn't believe it at the time. After all, Dragon Boat Festival only talked about looking at faces.
As a materialist, Cao Ying found physiognomy untrustworthy. What's more, she has been following Xu Bowen and has never seen him do anything inappropriate.
But at this time, Xu Bowen's actions were too obvious. He had no intention of returning to the Kuomintang-controlled area southward. Instead, he walked northeast, then east, and then southeast again.
This was what Cao Ying saw when Xu Bowen was planning the route with the captain. If they continue along this route, their destination will be the Hawaiian Islands.
In other words, Xu Bowen wanted to commit treason and take the gold to join the Americans.
"If you notice Xu Bowen's treason, you can make a decisive decision and never tolerate it."
At this time, Cao Ying thought of Dragon Boat Festival's words again.
"We must not show mercy to those who treason."
Cao Ying thought to herself, but it would not be easy for her to kill Xu Bowen alone, because the people around Xu Bowen at this time were all his best friends who he had supported.
What's more, these people are obsessed with profit and are waiting to share the gold, so how can they listen to her orders.
Cao Ying was sitting on the bow of the boat watching the sea, but she was thinking about countermeasures in her heart.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, Xu Bowen came over.
This old fox has been coveting Cao Ying's body for a long time, but Cao Ying has always only shown respect for him, without any feelings between men and women.
As for Xu Bowen, it was precisely because of this admiration that he did not show strong possessiveness.
But it was different now. He was about to become a free American.
He slowly walked towards the bow of the boat and said side by side with Cao Ying: "Do you also like to see the sea? Me too. I heard someone say when I was very young that if you have never seen the sea, you don't know the sea. of vastness.
Look at this sea, it’s full of water, and you don’t know how many lives it has given birth to.
Hahaha,......"
Xu Bowen showed off his knowledge in front of Cao Ying, but he didn't want to get to this point. He really couldn't make it up anymore.
What's more, what he was thinking about was not the sea at all but the agitated feeling in the sea.
At this moment, it seemed that his whole body was filled with excitement following the ups and downs of the ship, and he could hardly bear it any longer.
But little did he know that Cao Ying couldn't help it anymore. There was no one around at this time, only Xu Bowen was with her on the bow, which was her best chance to take action.
She turned her head and smiled brightly: "Stationmaster, do you think if we continue to drive like this, where will the boat go?"
Xu Bowen's face tightened, because Xu Bowen had not yet figured out how to explain to Cao Ying about going to Hawaii to join the Americans. After all, Cao Ying's admiration for him made him enjoy it.
However, Xu Bowen is an old fox after all, but when Cao Ying asked, he had to answer: "Cao Ying, you have also seen what China is doing, and it is not optimistic. And we, to put it nicely, are the sharp knives of this country. The battle is at the forefront.
To put it mildly, we are cannon fodder.
Take this trip to Shanghai for the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. We were asked by the superiors to obey the law, but what about the Dragon Boat Festival? But let us be at his mercy.
But now that Dragon Boat Festival has left Shanghai alive, how can we explain it to Shangfeng?
Moreover, they don't regard us as human beings at all. We are fighting bravely on the front line, but they have never cared about our sufferings?
They will only give us one mission after another that we cannot complete at all, and it is even very likely that the entire army will be annihilated.
One of them is like this, and both of them are like this. If they continue like this, sooner or later we will die in their hands.
So I love this country, and I don’t want it to die, but I always have to think about the people around me, such as you and Wang Feng. I watched you grow up, and I really don’t want anything to happen to you! ..."
