The explosion was from a landmine.
Mines from Iga-ryu.
In order to intercept vehicles, Iga-ryu cannot just lay out two or three mines.
They placed about twenty booby traps on the 200-meter-long road, real and fake, including ordinary ones and anti-demolition mines.
What just exploded was an anti-demolition mine with added materials. The power of the explosion killed the Japanese soldier who was clearing the mine on the spot. In addition, other Japanese soldiers were also affected to varying degrees.
If it were an engineer, there would generally be no problem in clearing this kind of mine, but now it is Shinozuka's bodyguard who clears the mine.
Although these people had not received demining training, they were still not careful enough and not professional enough, so they unfortunately fell into the trap.
Pushing Xu San away, Yamamoto gritted his teeth and stood up.
His face was distorted because the wounds on his abdomen and legs had burst!
The reason why it cracked was because of Xu San's rough movements just now!
But what could he say? Xu San was just worried about him getting hurt and was just protecting him.
Yamamoto held his stomach and said with a twisted expression, "It's okay, it's just a landmine!"
While talking, Yoshinohan ran over, "Yamamoto-sama, are you okay!?"
"It's okay! You go and take people to replace Second Lieutenant Hirano and the others." He looked at the time and said, "Can you do it in one hour?"
"able!!"
"Then go!" Yamamoto waved his hand, then returned to the jeep, untied his clothes and changed his dressing.
In order to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, Yamamoto did not bother Akagi about changing the dressing, he could handle it himself.
The wound on the abdomen was quickly treated, and then came the wound on the thigh.
As soon as he took off his pants, Xu San opened the car door, and then closed it again.
When closing the door, he seemed to hear Xu San mutter, "It's so small."
.
nine thirty.
The four golden cars finally drove into the headquarters in Taiyuan.
Xu San sat in the passenger seat and watched the vehicle slowly drive into the garage, feeling not in a good mood.
Because he knew that the gold would be dismantled and smelted immediately, then made into gold bars, and then converted into weapons to hit his compatriots.
And what caused this situation
Is it yourself?
A feeling of guilt came over me.
Shaking his head, he dispelled the negative emotions in his heart, because the drama must continue to be played again, and there must be no flaws.
The vehicle stopped, and Xu San and several other special operations team members jumped out of the vehicle one after another.
As soon as he got out of the car, a sergeant ran over and saluted Xu San, "Excuse me, are you not Mr. Edogawa Conan?"
"That's right! It's me!" Xu San replied.
"General Shinozuka invites you!"
Xu San stretched out his hand and said seriously, "Lead the way!"
"Hi!" After the sergeant saluted again, he led Xu San to Shinozuka's study in the backyard.
At the door of the study, the sergeant stopped and said, "Mr. Edogawa, please wait a moment, I will go and report."
After the sergeant left, Xu San stood at the door, thinking, why does Shinozuka want to see me?
My true identity is a small puppet army, quartermaster, and company-level cadre.
In other identities, he is just the director of a small cement factory.
As for hiding identity
If it had been known, I would have been arrested long ago.
After thinking about it, it might be about gold this time.
Are you going to give me a promotion, make me a group leader or something like that?
Um.
It is also unlikely. The current puppet army is like a small warlord. Although the devils can instruct them to be cannon fodder, when it comes to high-level transfers, it will be the last piece of their cake.
There will be a mutiny!
Thinking back to the fact that the sergeant called me Edogawa just now, it probably had nothing to do with the puppet army.
Is it related to the Ji family again?
It turns out that this task was assigned by Fujita Oki, and Fujita Oki took orders directly from Shinozuka.
Based on this clue, it can be inferred that this time it may really be related to the Ji family.
The most important thing is that the head of the Ji family is too far away now.
"Mr. Edogawa, please come in!" The sergeant's words interrupted Xu San's thoughts.
The study is a study, Chinese style.
There were famous calligraphy and paintings, various classics, and a huge military map, but they had been covered by a piece of white cloth before Xu San came in, so the whole picture could not be seen.
There were Shinozuka and Yamamoto in the study. There were originally orderlies, but after Xu San came in, he withdrew.
Shinozuka turned around and stared at Xu San for a while before he said leisurely, "Xu San is a Chinese, his ancestral home is Ping'an County, western Shanxi. He is officially the quartermaster of the fifth battalion of the Imperial Association Army. He also has another identity, Edogawa Conan, A big boss from Japan, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun in China, well... he is also a great swordsman!" After finishing speaking, Shinozuka paused and continued, "Am I right?"
"General Shinozuka is right!" Xu San said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"I heard from Fujita that you have a teacher! His surname is Muto? Is he also a master?" Shinozuka said and walked slowly behind the desk.
"That's right!"
Xu San was slightly moved in his heart, but he didn't expect that Shinozuka actually knew about him, the teacher he had made casual remarks about.
Shinozuka was quite satisfied with Xu San's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, so he continued, "The big-name Muto family is indeed a famous family, but it declined after the Restoration. I didn't expect that even though it declined, it still had such a foundation. I can teach you a talented person."
"General Shinozuka deserves the award, I am not a talented person!" Xu San said modestly, but in his heart he said that fortunately his teacher's surname was Muto, which was a common surname, otherwise it would not be a good thing to attract too much attention from Shinozuka.
Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be modest. If you are a talented person, I will put him to good use. As for nationality, it doesn't matter. As long as you work hard for the Locust Army, I won't treat you badly."
Xu San bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you, General Shinozuka, for your kindness."
Shinozuka looked at Xu San, as if he suddenly remembered something.
He picked up a notebook from under the desk, flipped through a few pages and said, "By the way, about half a month ago, I met General Kawatori during a meeting at the staff headquarters. At that time, he mentioned you to me. You also asked me to take care of you. I was busy with military affairs at the time and didn’t have time to ask in detail. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little strange?"
"Is General Shinozuka wondering about my relationship with General Kawatori?" Xu San asked.
Shinozuka nodded.
"It's not convenient to say this." Xu San scratched his head, with a troubled expression.
This embarrassment is definitely not pretending, but he is really in embarrassment.
Because when he rescued Kawatori, it could be said to be the darkest moment in his life. If he told this, his relationship with Kawatori would probably immediately change from benefactor to enemy.
"That goes without saying." Shinozuka did not continue to ask, but put down his notebook and got to the point, "I came to you this time to ask you about the ambush. You should be able to tell something about your intelligence, right?" (End of Chapter)
