Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2334 Sato Hideo is here!

When the puppet soldiers asked for his ID, Duanwu's eyes flickered slightly and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He pretended to be indifferent and took out a fake ID that he had prepared long ago. He gently threw it in front of the puppet army leader and said arrogantly in half Chinese and half Japanese: "This is our special pass. It would be best if you know the name on it."

As he spoke, Duanwu slowly stretched out his hand and gently pulled out the document from his shirt pocket with his fingertips.

With an elegant throwing motion, the certificate drew a perfect arc in the air and landed steadily in the trembling hands of the puppet army leader.

The little leader hurriedly took the certificate, his hands seemed to be holding a hot potato, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He squinted his eyes, trying to adjust to the dim light, and looked closely at the document.

The big words "Sato Hideo" glowed faintly under the light, as if telling him, I am someone you can't afford to offend.

The puppet soldier quickly closed the certificate, bowed his head respectfully, and said with a bit of fear and flattery in his voice: "I am so sorry, Madam, I am short-sighted and failed to recognize your noble identity in time. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a rough man like me."

The puppet soldiers around were very puzzled when they saw this, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

Instead, they followed their team leader and quickly made way.

They secretly speculated on the identities of the two mysterious visitors, as well as the look of the team leader who had just been frightened and was covered in cold sweats.

Even though the other party is indeed a Japanese officer, there is no need for the captain to be like this, right?

At the same time, Duanwu and Long Qianyan exchanged a tacit look, then gently pulled the reins, and the warhorse walked forward as if it had understood human nature.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, the puppet army squad leader breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the puppet soldiers around dared to come over and ask: "Captain, who was that just now? We saw you were nervous, so we became nervous too."

The captain sighed again, and after a moment he said, "This imperial soldier's identity is not ordinary. His last name is Sato. Do you know what Sato stands for?"

"What does it represent?"

The surrounding puppet troops echoed.

The puppet army captain said earnestly: "It represents identity, status, and power. In Japan, there are many nobles. Not to mention us, even other imperial soldiers have to be polite when they meet them."

"Oh~"

The puppet soldiers suddenly realized what was going on, and when they looked at the backs of Duanwu and Long Qianyan, they couldn't help but shiver.

They had never even heard of the Japanese nobles before. If the team leader had not been educated and knew Chinese characters, they would never have dreamed that such a big shot would come to their outpost.

The puppet army squad leader quickly called the Japanese in the artillery tower and told them that a noble officer named Sato had arrived at the outpost.

The Japanese were also very nervous after hearing the news, because the other party was a member of the Sato family. Even if the other party's rank was not high now, it would not be long before he would be a lieutenant colonel, a colonel, or even a major general.

So the Japanese dared not be negligent. The highest commander of the outpost, Shunsuke Ichiro, ran out to greet the officer from the Sato family without even having time to put on his shoes.

Without caring about his usual dignity as a commander, Shunsuke Ichiro ran barefoot on the cold and hard ground.

He seemed to feel the biting cold with every step he took, but it was not even one ten-thousandth of his anxiety. He quickly ran down the narrow stairs in the turret, his military cap tilted slightly due to running, and a few strands of hair fell unruly in front of his forehead, adding a bit of funny to him.

"Hurry! Get ready to welcome Mr. Sato!"

As Shunsuke Ichiro ran, he shouted orders to the Japanese soldiers behind him, with unquestionable urgency in his voice.

Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers also hurried into action. Some were busy tidying up their appearance, while others were hurriedly preparing tea and snacks, hoping to leave a good impression on this distinguished guest.

Finally, Shunsuke Ichiro arrived at the open space in front of the No. 1 outpost and ordered all the searchlights to be focused here.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing which was a little rapid due to nervousness, then he straightened his back and forced a smile on his face which he thought was appropriate.

Because he knew very well that whether he could leave a good impression in front of the Sato family would affect his career.

He had been stuck at the rank of captain for too long, and if no one promoted him, he believed that he would have no chance of being promoted to major before he was forty.

And please don't underestimate the difference in military rank, because this is the transformation from an ordinary officer to a senior officer.

So when faced with such an opportunity, Shunsuke Ichiro didn't want to miss it.

As the sound of horse hooves in the distance came closer and closer, two war horses slowly came into Shunsuke Ichiro's sight.

An officer and an attendant immediately showed proud expressions, and Shunsuke Ichiro recognized their identities at a glance.

With such an expression, such an action, and such a look, without even looking at the other party's ID, Shunsuke Ichiro knew that the other party must be a noble.

Shunsuke Ichiro hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a standard military salute, his voice filled with undisguised respect and enthusiasm: "Sir Sato, welcome to this outpost! I am the commander here, Shunsuke Ichiro, everything is ready, please give your instructions."

Shunsuke Ichiro's eyes were full of anticipation and awe, as if at this moment, the person in front of him was not Sato Hideo, but His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, this is not an exaggeration, because anyone can become an emperor if it can help him get promoted.

At this moment, Duanwu nodded slightly with his innate aristocratic temperament, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shunsuke Ichiro was suddenly overwhelmed with joy because someone from the Sato family actually smiled at him.

What does this mean? It means that his future is limitless.

Shunsuke Ichiro hurried forward and almost ran in front of Duanwu.

"Mr. Sato, your arrival really brings glory to this post! Your heroic presence is like the rising sun, illuminating us and inspiring all the soldiers.

Your family is the brightest star in the imperial army, and deserves endless respect."

There was a hint of exaggeration in Shunsuke Ichiro's voice, but more of it was full of sincerity and enthusiasm. He tried to make every word he said full of the highest respect.

He also observed Sato Hideo's reaction. Seeing that he nodded slightly, as if he was quite pleased with his compliment, Shunsuke Ichiro was delighted and continued more vigorously:

"Your Excellency's military talent is unmatched. I heard that you have defeated the enemy with a small number of troops in many battles, and you are both wise and brave. Not only did you terrify the enemy, but you are also a role model for us younger generations to learn from. It is a great honor to meet you in person today. I am willing to serve you at your service and do my best!"

At this point, Shunsuke Ichiro even couldn't help but bow deeply to Duanwu to express his highest respect in his heart!
