Let's talk about Gangcun Neiji landing in Taiyuan and ordering his entourage to drive to Peach Blossom Island with a black face.
The journey of more than ten kilometers has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the Sanli Peach Blossom Embankment is still devastated. Although the corpses on the embankment and the broken branches and leaves that were shot by machine guns have been cleaned up, traces of the aftermath of the war can still be seen everywhere.
Okamura Neiji ordered the driver to stop, pushed open the door and stepped on the bluestone pavement of Peach Blossom Embankment. He took his eyes back from the broken peach trees on both sides of Peach Blossom Embankment. He walked a few steps and bent down to dig out a piece of paper with a ring from between the two stone slabs. Putting the blood-stained 7.7mm bullet under his nose and smelling it, he turned to the surviving generals of the First Army who were following him tremblingly behind him, and asked:
"How many Imperial soldiers died on this road?"
The surviving generals of the First Army looked at each other, and invariably looked at Deputy Minister of Operations Headquarters Tanaka Torajiro. He was the highest-ranking colonel among the surviving generals of the First Army present, and was also the only survivor at Shinozuka Yoshio's banquet that night. He was hit by a bullet and was walking with a limp.
Tanaka Tojiro bravely stepped out and lowered his head and replied: "Commander, there are no specific statistics on the number of people who died on Peach Blossom Embankment. Xie Baoqing's sneak attack that day resulted in a total of 177 deaths and 521 injuries in Caizhuang Airport. A fighter plane was destroyed, and the airport ammunition depot and fuel depot were also blown up."
Neji Okamura listened silently with a dark face. He walked up to Tanaka Tojiro and others with the warhead in his hand. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one and asked: "The headquarters was attacked. Have all the nearby garrison troops come to rescue?" ?”
Tanaka Torajiro stood at attention and responded loudly: "Hi."
Okamura Neji stared at Tanaka Torajiro and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that all the nearby garrison troops have come to rescue?"
Tanaka Torajiro thought for three seconds, then stood at attention again: "Hi."
Okamura Neji narrowed his eyes: "The Caizhuang Security Brigade of the Appeasement Army, which is less than fifteen kilometers away from here, is also here?"
Tanaka Torajiro was stunned for a moment and couldn't help sweating on his forehead: "I didn't count the Chinese army. It seems that they didn't come. Not a single Chinese came."
Okamura Neji raised his hand and slapped Tanaka Tojiro four times in succession, and ordered with a black face: "Kill all the Chinese within three kilometers from here, and kill all the Chinese within fifteen kilometers from here." All Chinese soldiers and policemen within kilometers who did not come to participate in the rescue were killed."
Everyone was startled, and Tanaka Tojiro was too frightened to speak.
According to Okamura Neji's order, at least tens of thousands of people must be killed.
Seeing that Tanaka Torajiro didn't respond, Okamura Neji became furious and slapped Tanaka Torajiro four times in a row. Tanaka Torajiro was startled, and he hurriedly stood at attention and responded loudly: "Hi"
"Immediately execute", Okamura Neji shouted.
Tanaka Torajiro hurriedly saluted and limped away. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead in strings. Part of it was the pain on his thigh, and part of it was fright.
As soon as Ningji came to Gangmura, his style of painting immediately changed.
With a dark face, Okamura Neiji walked along the Peach Blossom Causeway toward Peach Blossom Island. The officials of the First Army followed behind him tremblingly. They witnessed Okamura Neiji narrowly escaping from Xie Baoqing's hands and mistakenly believed that Okamura Neiji was the one who The order was purely out of anger.
The first officers and soldiers had long been accustomed to Yoshio Shinozuka's gentle policy. They never thought that Neji Okamura could use the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese people to vent his anger. This power frightened them.
Okamura Neji walked leisurely on the Peach Blossom Embankment. Only Kita Makoto dared to accompany Okamura Neji. The others followed fearfully from a distance, fearing that Okamura Neji would get angry again and bring disaster to them.
If we only go by military rank, the military rank gap between the group of people behind him and Okamura Neji is too big.
Okamura Neiji is a general, and the highest ranking member of their group now is only lieutenant colonel. The only colonel was beaten away by Okamura Neiji eight times.
That damn Xie Baoqing took all the senior generals of the First Army into his own hands.
Now only Lieutenant General Seiichi Kita, the head of the secret service, is qualified to accompany Neji Okamura.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I suddenly remembered that there was a piece of information mentioning Xie Baoqing, but I don't know if that Xie Baoqing is the same person as the Xie Baoqing we met." Kita Seiichi said in a low voice.
Okamura Neiji hummed. Kita Chengyi knew that Okamura Neiji was asking him to continue talking. He quickly thought about it carefully and said: "More than two months ago, the Taiyuan Secret Service Station reported an ordinary piece of news. The intelligence said that the Eighth Route Army 386 Li Yunlong of the Brigade Independent Regiment sent troops to exterminate Xie Baoqing, a bandit from Heiyun Village, to vent his personal anger. I didn’t pay much attention to this information at the time, and I wasn’t sure whether this Xie Baoqing was the same Xie Baoqing.”
Okamura Neji frowned slightly: "Go and find out."
Kita Cheng nodded in agreement and said fiercely: "Just now, the airport reported that Xie Baoqing made a gauntlet to us on the radio, saying that he would wait for us in Zhangzhuang."
"Zhangzhuang, Zhangzhuang again?" Okamura Ningji's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he stopped and looked at Kita Seiichi: "The origin of the chaos in northwest Shanxi was Zhangzhuang. At that time, Mr. Shinozuka analyzed that it might be a sneak attack by Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Zhuang, do you think Shinozuka-kun is mistaken? It was Zhang Zhuang who was attacked by Xie Baoqing in the first place, and he has already controlled Zhang Zhuang, so a series of battles will start around Zhang Zhuang."
Okamura Neiji is really powerful. Although he is still just guessing, he has already guessed Xie Tian's strategic intention.
Kita Cheng was shocked and quickly filtered the battle situation in northwest Shanxi in his mind. Sure enough, the original intention of the outbreak in each battlefield was Zhangzhuang.
Kita Cheng looked at Neji Okamura in shock: "If this war in northwest Shanxi was planned by this Xie Baoqing, then this enemy is too terrifying."
Okamura Neiji hummed and said, "Whether it's him or not, this person must be eliminated. Call them in. I want them to report to me alone."
Having said that, Neji Okamura strode into the Japanese headquarters on Peach Blossom Island.
Although Xie Tian caused devastating damage to the Japanese First Army Headquarters on Taohua Island, most of the buildings in the First Army Headquarters are still intact. After all, the Zero fighter piloted by Xie Tian at the time could only carry two external aerial bombs. , all dumped in the small courtyard where Shinozuka Yoshio entertained guests. He could only shoot a few times with machine guns at other places, and they were still targeted. He would only fire a few shots when he saw someone. Naturally, he was not willing to waste countless ammunition on these places. On a lifeless building.
Entering the headquarters, Okamura Neji began to reorganize the First Army.
Since Okamura Neiji already had the suspicion that Xie Tian was the source of the chaos in northwest Shanxi, even if his proposed new commander of the First Army, Oshima Katsu, was not seriously injured, he would personally direct the killing operation against Xie Tian. .
