Start with Four Lines Warehouse

Chapter 91
"Old Xie, did you do anything between the time you came back from Sixing Warehouse and before I came back? Please recall." Ma Chao asked Xie Jinyuan.

"Didn't do anything. The only thing you did before you came back was to hand in Matsui Iwane, Tsukada Gong and the commander's sword when you just came back from the Sixing Warehouse. The rest is Nothing has been done." Xie Jinyuan also said very puzzled.

"Perhaps, this is the reason." Ma Chao said with certainty.

"How do you say it, Captain?" Xie Jinyuan asked hastily.

"Since the little devil launched a counterattack yesterday night, it proves that someone has replaced Matsui Iwane and re-established the command system."

"And for the new commander to establish his authority, it is not enough to rely on the counterattack the night before yesterday, because it can only stabilize the situation, or this is his task, which is not enough to convince people. After all, The former commander died in an assassination. Then, he must avenge Matsui Iwane in order for these people to obey him from the bottom of their hearts."

"Coincidentally, after you withdrew from Sixing Warehouse the day before yesterday, you handed in those three knives as trophies. Then, this situation will be known to the little devil soon. So, to avenge Matsui Iwane, or It’s good to just do a show to win the hearts of the entire Japanese army. We, at this moment, are already on the death list.”

"Looking at the situation, the commander should not have received this information for a long time. Otherwise, there would not be only bombing by planes. At least, it is not impossible to organize a small-scale force to attack us. Yes." Ma Chao guessed.

"Head, it doesn't matter anymore. After all, we have all withdrawn from there. Is it possible that the little devil will really send a troop to chase us down." Xie Jinyuan was relieved.

"That's right, we've already evacuated anyway. Why are you thinking so much. Go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow." Ma Chao laughed at himself, and lay down, ready to rest.

But what Ma Chao and Xie Jinyuan didn't know was that what they thought would never happen, actually happened.

Japan Expeditionary Forces Command
"How's the result of the bombing?" Terauchi Shouichi asked Oshima Ichiro who had just returned from the bombing team.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, the task has been successfully completed, and the Shenjiaqiao has been completely razed to the ground." Oshima Ichiro said confidently.

"You idiot!!! What I'm asking is whether all the Chinese troops stationed at Shenjiaqiao have been wiped out!!!" Terauchi Shouichi asked Oshima Ichiro roaringly! ! !

"Report, Your Excellency Commander, during the bombing, there was no counterattack from the Chinese soldiers, so it should have been completely wiped out." Oshima Ichiro said still confidently.

"Very good, you can go down and rest." Terauchi Shou nodded and said.

"Hi! This subordinate is resigning!" Oshima Ichiro said and went out.

"Has the investigation team from Shenjiaqiao come back?" After Oshima Ichiro left, Terauchi Shouichi called the staff room and asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I haven't received any news from the investigation team yet." The staff officer said on the other end of the phone.

"When they come back, let me know as soon as possible. Also, is there any new news?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander, intelligence personnel have sent news that Chiang Kai-shek has ordered all the Chinese troops in Songhu to retreat during the daytime."

"Hmm!!!" Temple Shou heard the news one by one, and his mind suddenly thumped, feeling quite bad.

"When is the time for them to retreat."

"Chiang Kai-shek has no specific requirements, but only requires that all ministries arrive in Nanjing before November [-]."

"When was this order issued?"

"It should have been issued at noon yesterday. The Chinese troops in Shanghai should have received the news by now."

"I see. Immediately order the troops to attack! Immediately!!!" Terauchi Shouichi immediately ordered on the phone.Because, the information from the intelligence personnel did not specify the retreat plan, but only made a very broad request.This made Terauchi Shouichi discover the problem from inside, so he decisively ordered all troops to attack immediately!
Terauchi Shouichi, who planned and implemented the September [-]th Incident and the July [-]th Marco Polo Bridge Incident, was an out-and-out radical, but his radical appearance could not conceal the courage and wisdom of Terauchi Shouyi beyond ordinary people.

Terauchi Shouichi was born in a well-known family. His father was Terauchi Masahide, the initiator of Japan's annexation of Korea.

When Terauchi Shouichi was born, his father Terauchi Masaki was only a minor officer. Although he came from a famous family, he also received a complete set of strict military education.He once studied at the Middle School Affiliated to Donggao Normal School and Tokyo Chengcheng School.

1899年11月21日毕业于陆军士官学校第11期步兵科，翌年6月22日授予步兵少尉军衔，任近卫步兵第2联队附。参加日俄战争，任近卫步兵第1旅团副官。战争结束后入陆大21期学习，华族子弟中能像他这样考上陆军大学校的可不多。

In 1913, Toshiichi Terauchi got the opportunity to go to Germany and served as deputy military attache of the Army stationed in Vienna.While working, he actively studied the German Army.After returning to China, his father's power was in full swing, enabling him to jump back and forth between the two key departments of the General Staff Headquarters and the Guards Division.

In July 1919, Terauchi Shouichi was appointed as the captain of the Third Guards Regiment and was promoted to the rank of Colonel at the same time.In the same year, his father died of illness, and Terauchi Shouichi lost his father's shade and entered the stage of independent development.

This is known as the "Osaka Go-Stop Incident" in history.Later, he was transferred to the commander of the Taiwan Army.

On October 1935, 10, he was promoted to Army General and Military Councilor.

From such a resume, we can see how outstanding Terauchi Shouichi is! ! !
