When the smoke cleared, the gunfire was sparse and occasionally audible, and the Chinese and Japanese armies returned to a brief period of peace and confronted each other in Shandong.This battle not only caused the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses.It also shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army and their attempt to open up the north-south communication line, and proved to the world that Japan was not to be feared, and that China had the ability and determination to resist foreign invasions.At this time, Europe was also under the clouds of war, and the so-called League of Nations did not have time to take care of the affairs of the Far East.The United States is busy watching the movements of its European allies, and it is not in a position to control the battlefields in China.Half of the Soviet Union was located in Europe, so most of its focus was on Germany in Europe.However, they were still very happy about Japan's defeat, because the Japanese stationed 800,000 troops in the northeast, and they were known as the Kwantung Army, the flower of the imperial army, which was known as the elite of the imperial army.This had to make the Soviet high-level vigilance, which coincided with the great defeat of the Japanese, and the Soviets were considered to have gone to a heart disease, knowing that the Japanese would not attack them for the time being.After the war, Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered the search for the Independent Brigade, and he wanted to award Gao Dong a medal, and he wanted to promote him to lieutenant general of the national army, so that the whole country knew that everything Gao Dong did this time was instructed by his old Chiang commander.It's a pity that Gao Dong evaporated and disappeared like a wisp of smoke, he came without any warning, and he left without leaving any trace.This made Lao Jiang very regretful, and at the same time, the same vigilance as Li Zongren rose in his heart.If a talent like Gao Dong can't be used by me, then it must be eradicated in advance.Lao Jiang's heart is like a thorn in his heart, always reminding him of the existence of Gao Dong.Li Zongren breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was not as ruthless as Lao Jiang.In terms of national righteousness and personal interests, he finally chose national righteousness.He hoped that Gao Dong would stay away from them and go to other places to continue to resist the Japanese, so that he could avoid many unnecessary troubles.An excellent commander like Gao Dong can show his fiery fire wherever he goes.No matter where he is, he will not choose to be alone.Killing devils is his only way out.Jinan, in the headquarters of the Japanese invasion of China in Central China.Matsui Ishine sat at the top, and he had been squinting his eyes since the battle summary meeting was held, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.But his silence brought a strong deterrent to all the devils present.Almost all the Japanese generals who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou arrived, with the exception of two people.One is Kazuo Shibata who was killed by Gao Dong, and the other is Yoshio Suzuka, who is already bedridden and has only one breath left.Among these generals, the only one who did not have a general, it can be said that Kijimagawa, one of the key tasks of the Battle of Xuzhou, also sat in it.At this moment, he, like every general, had a heavy face, after all, this defeat could be described as the biggest fiasco in the history of the Japanese army."
Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor burst into tears at a cabinet meeting the morning before yesterday to mourn the soldiers who lost their lives this time.And His Majesty the Emperor said that this time, it was the twilight of our First Division, and it was a disaster for the entire Imperial Army of Japan. ”After a long silence, Matsui finally opened his eyes.Glancing sharply at every general present, especially when he swept past Seishiro Itagaki, he froze on him for a long time.Itagaki Seishiro seems to have aged more than twenty years in the past two days, half of his original black and dense hair has turned gray, and his whole person looks even more wrinkled.The high-spirited general a few days ago is gone, and now what appears in front of everyone is a frustrated and lonely man.Matsui Shigen snorted fiercely in his heart, and scolded him for deserving it, but his face was very gentle and said to Itagaki Seishiro: "Itagaki-kun, don't take this failure too seriously.His Majesty the Emperor said that this was your mistake, and that the people of Shina were too cunning.A single failure is nothing and cannot erase your glorious past.The military headquarters has proposed to order you to be the commander of the Second Army, congratulations to Itagaki-kun, you will continue to fight with the squadron with the great trust of the emperor. ”"As for the others" Matsui Ishine suddenly snorted heavily: "Yoshio Suzuka, who has been seriously responsible for this battle, has been removed from his post and investigated, and he will be sent to a military court for trial."
And the rest of you, do what you want. ”This decision was completely unexpected by everyone, and it can be said that the fault of the defeat in this battle of Xuzhou was Itagaki Seishiro alone.But not only did he have nothing to do, but he was also promoted to a knighthood, but Yoshio Suzuka, an unlucky man, became a scapegoat.But no matter what you think, no one has any objection to this military order.Itagaki Seishiro's whole body was trembling, he didn't expect such a result, and tears of excitement kept rolling in his eyes.Matsui Ishine kept his face calm and continued: "We suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the people of China thought that it would end like this, then they were too naïve.Itagaki-kun, it's up to you to make the next attack plan. ”Itagaki Seishiro stood up from his seat violently and bent down heavily towards Matsui Ishone: "This time, Hai, I must lead the troops to recapture Xuzhou and open up the communication line between the north and the south." ”Kijimagawa didn't speak from beginning to end, as if he was out of the meeting.It is true that at this moment, Kijimagawa is thinking about an important event.This incident can kill Gao Dong, and it can also solve the pain in his heart."
General Shibata, you won't die in vain.Don't worry, I will definitely solve Gao Dong's, so that we will never be afraid in our hearts. ”Kijimagawa muttered silently in his heart, his eyes narrowed into a very lethal wheat.The wind is blowing, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and gradually there is already a summer breath.On the bustling streets of Shanghai, there is no longer much panic when the devils attacked half a year ago, and the residents are almost no different from the Shanghai of the past except that they are still so depressed.After all, Shanghai is an important big city, and the extent of the damage caused by the Japanese is relatively small.In Japanese parlance, it is to treat this cosmopolitan city with gentleness, so Shanghai can still reflect the prosperity of the past.There are concessions of various countries, which are in fact occupied territories.In the occupied zone, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is a drunken obsession.Especially in the prosperous French Concession, it can be said that there is no difference from before the war.What the Japanese fear most is that these concessions of various countries exist in their areas of rule, and with their current plans and strength, they are not willing to enter the concessions.Because entering the concession is tantamount to declaring war like these European powers, the Japanese are not stupid enough to be so stupid.Within the Public Concession, an elegant villa is located in the middle of a bustling city.But it is extremely quiet, or it is taken from the quiet in the middle of the noise, and it is like a paradise in the downtown area.At this moment, a man sitting in the main building of the villa suddenly stood up from his chair and moved so fast that he knocked over the teacup on the table."
Gao Dong, it's incredible that you actually defeated two first-class divisions."
The man's voice trembled a little, with a hint of inexplicable fear in between.Not only him, but everyone couldn't stop trembling when they heard the news.It's just that Chinese are excited when they hear it, Japanese people are afraid when they hear it, and foreigners are shocked when they hear it."
Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but we wouldn't dare to bother you again unless there were special circumstances.It's just that the bald head sitting on the sofa opposite the man also stood up at this moment, with a solemn look on his face."
What about the killer you sent, can't help this Gao Dong" The tall man looked directly at the bald head, and the cold light in his eyes shot out like a blizzard at this moment, and he couldn't help but make the bald head tremble."
Your Excellency, I'm really sorry.Eight of the samurai we sent this time did not return, and they must have been killed.They do not participate in battles, they are only responsible for defending, and with their skill, it should be impossible to be killed on the battlefield.Then the only possibility is that they met Gao Dong. ”The bald head said solemnly."
This Gao Dong, it's so powerful that even your Black Dragon Society's killers can't help him" The man's voice was even more surprised, obviously he knew the Black Dragon Society's killers very well.The bald head shook his head helplessly: "It's really ashamed to say it, even our officers on the front line have suffered a big loss."
Obviously Gao Dong has been trapped, but that guy is like a ghost, and he will suddenly disappear in the valley surrounded by layers, it is really unbelievable. ”The room suddenly fell silent, quiet and even a little scary.The tall man looked at his bald head for a long time, and suddenly sat down slowly.He picked up a cigar from the table and lit it gently.The cigarette butt flickered on and off, and the milky white smoke of tobacco slowly came out of his mouth."
So, this time you came to me, are you going to use this last trump card" The man's expression calmed down, and his tone returned to calmness."
Haiyi" nodded heavily: "Our vice president hopes that Your Excellency can make good use of that trump card, and it is up to Your Excellency whether you can kill Gao Dong or not." ”The man smiled slightly, waved his hand at the bald head and said, "Go ahead, I will take care of this matter properly."
What you Black Dragon Society can't do, then I'll do it for you. ”"Gao Dong may not be able to kill him on the battlefield, but when he comes to Shanghai, he doesn't want to escape."
The man took a puff of his cigarette, and his whole body was enveloped in thick clouds of smoke.At this time, Gao Dong had already returned to Qinglong Mountain with the independent brigade.It's just that what he doesn't know is that all the actions against him have just begun
