Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1461: Really 'Chasing Tai Sui'!

The night of June 1941, 6 was undoubtedly a turbulent night for the senior generals of the Fifth War Zone, the senior officials in Shancheng who knew the inside story, and the senior officials of the 21th Army in Jiangxia.

That evening, the generals of the Fifth War Zone saw with all the evidence that the Four-Line Regiment had clearly done something they shouldn't have done, and that they had violently killed members of the Military Control Commission in public. Their actions were undoubtedly those of rebels, but the magical thing was that after a telegram, the aggressive Military Control Commission withdrew.

And this was not the final miracle. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the theater command issued a notice that the Military Control Commission had found evidence of collusion between the deceased brigade commander and the puppet government through a search of the headquarters of the 33rd Independent Brigade. The origin of the 50 Garand rifles was also found, and it was from this person that they slipped away.

The reason why the origin of these imported semi-automatic guns could not be found was due to a transportation loss three months ago. A ship responsible for transporting these guns sank and all the guns were reported as damaged. Unexpectedly, they were secretly hidden by this person and provided weapons to the Japanese army during this attack.

It can be basically inferred that the Japanese army's plan to attack and kill Tang Dao was formulated more than three months ago, and this damn major general has been cooperating with them since then.

The grain store owner who was hanged did not die in vain. Not only a medium-sized field radio used for communication but also Japanese yen and a letter of appointment were found in his house.

This guy turned out to be the highest intelligence officer of the Wang Puppet Government in the western Hubei region. The Wang Puppet Government even gave him the title of major general. His mission in the Fifth War Zone was to spy on military intelligence and win over and instigate backbone members of the army to defect.

The reason why the major general brigadier general committed such a treasonous act was that he had long believed that China would definitely not be a match for the Japanese, and he wanted to find a way out for himself. When he met this guy, they hit it off immediately, and providing him with weapons and various conveniences was just his token of loyalty.

After an all-night interrogation, it was found that 33 middle-level officers from the 10rd Independent Brigade, including the brigade commander, had been won over. Although they had no direct contact with the Wang Puppet Government, they had done a lot for their superiors.

In just one hour, the matter was concluded, which meant that the Major General Brigadier General had long been in the eyes of the Military Control Commission, otherwise even a god would not be able to find out so much inside information in just one hour.

Of course, releasing this news is undoubtedly telling everyone that these two guys deserved to be killed, and now that they are dead, it is a good death.

Then, an even more miraculous reversal occurred.

After internal investigation by the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was found that the person who attacked, no, it was the Military Intelligence Bureau's special operations team who arrested the brigadier general. Because they encountered an armed resistance from the other party, they had to kill him on the spot.

My goodness, this is purely a case of pinching your nose to fool your eyes. You, Zhao Lijun, are the highest person in charge of the Military Control Commission in the Fifth War Zone. Don’t you know what the special operations team is?

  But this was a notice from the theater command, saying that it was done by the Military Control Commission's special operations team, and the Military Control Commission also acknowledged it. Who can still say that the theater commander is fooling people?

After the notice was issued, the blood all over the ground was washed away as if a bucket of water was poured on it, leaving no trace.

The crime was all done by the Military Control Commission, so naturally the Four-Line Regiment had no fault. As for the six Military Control Commission members who were killed in the restaurant, everyone chose to forget about them.

In any struggle, the little people are destined to be victims without even their names left behind.

If the Four-Line Regiment lost this round, except for Tang Dao, Ye Chenghuan, Leng Feng and a few others whose names were listed in the bulletin, the rest, whether it was the fierce general Cai Yongguan, the super sniper Niu Er, or Yang Shoucheng who had received many medals, would only become numbers of rebels killed.

In less than two years, everyone will have forgotten this heroic infantry regiment that rose from the Battle of Shanghai and inflicted fear on the Japanese army on the battlefields of North China.

War sometimes doesn't just happen on the battlefield.

For a major general in the mountain city, he finally recognized the truth. Tang Dao was not just someone who played by the rules. He was a ferocious beast in the world who had provoked his bottom line. What he dared to do might not be to fight to the death, but to turn the whole world upside down.

The news of the death of Tanabe Shigetake, who was under heavy protection, showed a power that was even more frightening than the various forces represented by the important generals in the army that the Four Lines Group and Tang Dao had allied with.

After listening to the report from Major General Dai in person, the man was silent for a moment and then waved his hand to let him leave without saying a word.

After Major General Dai left, he looked back and saw that the lights in the quiet little building were off, like a lonely shadow in the dark night.

  Only those who are familiar with him would know that it was a manifestation of his extreme anger!

Tanabe Moritake's shattered head was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to be cut down at any time. Who wouldn't be angry?

However, a wise man would not take any other excessive actions before destroying the sword.

Because the smarter a person is, the more afraid he is of death!

It's not just the people in Shancheng who are afraid of death. Hengshan Yong in Jiangcheng is also afraid.

Because the elusive gunman killed three people in succession in the next few days.

  One Japanese and two Chinese!

The Japanese military rank was equally low. He was Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division stationed in Jiangxia. He was not well-known in the Japanese military, but was notorious among the Chinese military and civilians.

While the 38th Division was stationed in Foshan, Guangdong, it invaded Huiyang, Xinhui, Taishan and other places, burning, killing and looting wherever it went. It was atrocious and committed a series of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

All of these were carried out with the tacit consent of Fujii Yoji. At the beginning of the year, the 38th Division was ordered to be transferred from the South China Front Army to the 11th Army to become a security division again. It implemented a reign of terror in Jiangxia. From February to June alone, the 2th Division shot and killed 6 innocent people on the streets of Jiangxia. On the pretext of arresting anti-Japanese people, it looted hundreds of shops and stole hundreds of thousands of yuan in property.

When mentioning this person, countless Chinese people hate him with hatred.

Knowing that he had a bad reputation and that there would definitely be people who were eyeing him, Fujii Yoji protected himself very strictly and usually lived in the Jiangxia Garrison Command. Even if he needed a geisha, he would never let her stay overnight and would send her away immediately after the job was done. The Garrison Command had three layers of garrisons inside and outside, and the Military Control Commission had attempted to assassinate him several times but failed, and also lost a lot of manpower in vain.

During this city-wide search, Fujii Yoji only gave orders in the headquarters and did not show up himself.

However, on this night when countless Japanese and puppet troops were holding torches and flashlights and were eager to turn the entire Jiangxia City upside down in search of the mysterious gunman, Yokoyama Isamu, who had been unable to sleep all night, received another piece of bad news.

Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji was attacked and killed in the garrison headquarters!

At that moment, Yokoyama Isamu couldn't believe his ears.

Standing at the window, he could still see clusters of dots outside the window. That meant thousands of soldiers and police were still searching all night. How did the assassin sneak into the Jiangcheng Garrison Command, which was guarded by at least 400 people, and kill an army lieutenant general?

Yokoyama Isamu, who was so shocked that his jaw dropped, made up his mind at this time. He decided to go to the scene himself despite his subordinates' attempts to stop him.

However, under the threat of such a terrible assassin, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu did not show off his bravery. He dispatched a convoy of 4 Type 94 light tanks and 10 trucks, and he himself sat in one of the Type 94 tanks.

The narrow body of the vehicle was filled with the smell of diesel and the sour odor of human body fluids fermenting after evaporation, which was not a big deal. The important thing was that the heat in Jiangcheng was already unbearable in summer. The internal temperature of the Type 94 tank engine was estimated to be more than 30 degrees when it was not ignited. Once it was started, the internal temperature was close to 50 degrees.

However, the 4000-meter journey almost killed the sixty-year-old Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu from the heat. When he got off the car, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu's face was all pink, like a shrimp that was about to be cooked.

According to modern medicine, this is the early characteristic of heat stroke. If we drive two or three more kilometers, we won't need any assassins. The temperature alone can send this old devil away.

Unlike Moritake Tanabe who was sniped at a long distance, Yoji Fujii's death was much more peaceful. He was strangled to death in his sleep.

To say it was peaceful was of course in contrast to Tanabe Moritake, whose head was blown off. In fact, his eyes bulged out of their sockets, his tongue was ten centimeters sticking out of his mouth, and his lower body was filled with feces and urine. The stench was unbearable, and even these Japanese generals who had seen the tragic battlefield felt the acid churning in their stomachs.

Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama's face was still rosy, as if he was poisoned by love.

Just don't say a word.

  Because he wanted to vomit!

The smell of the broken heads and the 94-type armored vehicles yesterday evening, plus the strange smell here, really made him almost fed up. Or maybe Commander Isamu Yokoyama had already vomited, but he swallowed it back again with extremely strong willpower.

This is an amazing operation. I can only say that this is a job well done by a commander who commands an army of over 100,000!

The murderer who sneaked into the room was extremely cruel. He could obviously use a knife to pierce the heart and kill the person quickly, but he chose the most unconventional way and strangled the person to death with his bare hands!

Through the scene and the shocking bruises on Fujii Yoji's neck, the several Japanese generals present could clearly imagine this scene in their minds.

A tall assassin successfully sneaked into the room, clamped Fujii Yoji's hands with one hand, wrapped his legs tightly around Fujii Yoji's legs, and then strangled his neck with his other hand, like strangling a chicken, and strangled the immobile commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General, to death.

During this process, Fujii Yoji, who struggled desperately, was unable to make the slightest sound. One can imagine how strong the enemy was and how confident he was in his own skills.

Not only does he want to kill people, he also wants to enjoy the desperate and fearful look of Fujii Yoji at the end of his life!

No one knew how the murderer got through the heavy guards and finally entered Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji's room, because there were as many as twelve sentries and secret guards around the room. Apart from ghosts, the Japanese generals present could not find any reason.

It was not until one of the guards recalled that three hours before they discovered that Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji had been killed, a major officer from the search team came to report the search situation to the division commander, but when the major officer left, Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji's voice was still heard in the room.

There is no way that the major was responsible for this.

"What if there is someone who is extremely good at makeup and ventriloquism and speaks fluent Imperial language?" Yokoyama Isamu's gaze was like a will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness, eerie and scary.

"Find that major, he is the answer!"

The Japanese army was still extremely efficient. Through the officer certificate handed over by the major, they quickly found Major Sano Nakadashige, who was then the captain of the 38rd Infantry Battalion of the 228th Regiment of the 3th Division.

However, when the confused major who was brought to the security headquarters arrived, several Japanese soldiers who had seen the major were dumbfounded.

  These are two completely different people!

The infantry captain in front of them was simply a short and stocky guy, with a pair of short legs and a fleshy upper body, and his vulgar temperament was overwhelming.

Unlike the major who rode a motorcycle with his guards straight to the garrison headquarters. He was tall and strong, and looked like a resolute soldier.

Obviously, this short and fat guy who was brought back from the front line of the search was the real deal. Based on his size, not to mention that he couldn't strangle the relatively strong Fujii Yoji to death, he would probably have a hard time strangling even a chicken.

When the soldiers asked why they were not familiar with an infantry battalion commander-level officer, Yokoyama Isamu found out that the 39th Division was originally established as a security division, but after being assigned to the 21st Army, it became a combat division. It was not until the beginning of the year that it returned from South China to Jiangxia and became a security division again.

It was this change of functions that caused some nobles in Japan to begin to have evil thoughts.

  Although going to the front-line divisions would earn you military merit, you would die. Would the nobles be willing to let their family members die? The security divisions would be much safer. After all, they were also in the Chinese battlefield, which was equivalent to participating in the war. It would also be a kind of qualification for promotion in the future, right?

So, just a month and a half ago, the 39th Division replaced as many as 7 major generals and 29 lieutenants, all of whom were relatives of the emperor.

The replaced lieutenants were all promoted one level and returned to their home country to take up posts, so they were naturally very happy. Those who came here purely wanted to gild their resumes, so they could work on the Chinese battlefield for a year or two and then be promoted and return home. Everyone got what they wanted!

The new officer hadn't even gotten familiar with his own regiment, so how could he possibly have any interactions with the division headquarters? It was normal that the guards didn't know him.

His officer certificate could not be forged, and he came on a motorcycle with 20 infantrymen following him. Who would have thought that at a time when the whole city was under martial law, someone would impersonate someone and come to the garrison headquarters to assassinate the division commander.

  Even if you write a fairy tale, you can't write a plot like this!

But the shorty just stood there in a daze. The truth was about to be revealed. Someone had forged his officer's certificate and then swaggered to the garrison headquarters with his men. Taking advantage of the opportunity to report, he strangled Fujii Yoji to death in the house like strangling a chicken, and then used his skilled ventriloquism to imitate Fujii Yoji's voice to deceive all the guards outside the house, and then swaggered away with his men.

After figuring out this, the Japanese generals were so depressed that they almost vomited blood!

This was simply treating the guards of the 38th Division as fools, and the key point was that these fools were fooled. It was not until around 6 a.m. when Lieutenant General Fujii's body had become stiff that they discovered that their own division commander had been killed.

Why would the assassin forge Shorty's officer ID instead of someone else's? Yokoyama Yong looked over with a gloomy look, and Shorty, who had been bowing his head, could only tell the truth.

After he arrived in Jiangxia, a good friend he met in his hometown invited him to a restaurant for dinner, but he accidentally lost his officer certificate. This was not a big deal, so he privately found a classmate in the division staff department to apply for a new one.

Who would have thought that the Chinese would actually make use of this military officer's certificate that had been lost for a month and cause such a big incident today.

"Idiot!" The angry Yokoyama Isamu slapped the short and fat major on the face left and right. The continuous slapping sounds showed Yokoyama Isamu's anger, but more of it was irony and powerlessness.

Yokoyama Isamu wanted to kill this extremely despicable-looking relative with a single blow, but he knew how difficult those great nobles were to deal with. It wouldn't matter if he killed a major just to vent his anger, but he might be stabbed in the back by the people behind him at any time, especially in this extraordinary period after the defeat in the Battle of Shipai.

There are now many voices calling for his removal as the commander of the 11th Army. If it had not been for his extraordinary efforts on the battlefield in the past two years, the position of commander of the 11th Army would have been replaced by someone else by now.

"Look for him. The assassin is not just one person but a group of people. They are a bigger target and it is difficult for them to hide. This will be the biggest mistake they will make." Yokoyama Isamu used all his strength to beat the annoying short guy straight until he fainted, and gave the order coldly.

In a small courtyard filled with the smell of horse manure less than 400 meters away from the Japanese Army Security Headquarters, several strong men sleeping on mats had the scene of tonight echoing in their minds.

That was truly the most exciting "game" they had ever experienced in their lives. They actually watched the regimental commander leisurely walk into the Japanese Army's security headquarters, and then walk out with big strides. The Japanese guards even saluted him politely.

The key point is, judging from the gesture he made quietly, the target was cleared and the mission was accomplished.

"Tonight is the best chance, believe me!" This was the decision Tang Dao made quickly after finding the major officer's certificate in the basement.

If they had not been his soldiers for two years, they would have thought that Tang Dao wanted to silence them.

But Tang Dao succeeded.

Not only that, in the following two days, Tang Dao also successfully assassinated the two most notorious senior officials of the puppet government in Jiangxia, one was the director of the tax bureau and the other was the police chief. The two implemented a high-pressure policy in Jiangxia and were the most loyal lackeys of the Japanese. They killed countless ordinary people.

On the same night, Tang Dao hung their heads on the door of his bedroom and wrote the four characters "Zhui Ming Tai Sui" in blood.

The name of "Zhui Ming Tai Sui" resounded throughout Jiangxia within a few days, and Japanese generals and high-ranking officials of the puppet government turned pale when they heard the name.

  Zhao Lijun received the telegram from Jiangxia

If he had this ability, how could he have allowed Leng Feng to be so arrogant that day? He would have stepped forward and crushed him to death.

But there is no doubt that the more ruthless Tang Dao's attack is, the more fearful those who are wary of him will be!

  But the undercurrent is even more turbulent!
