Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 283 Angry Matsushita Taro

"What? Our vanguard troops were intercepted and annihilated by the Chinese at the Shanghai dock again?"

Matsushita Taro was so angry that he jumped up and down, shouting angrily:

"Damn it, what on earth is that damn Ito Chuuza doing? I have warned him time and again that after arriving at the battlefield, he must not advance rashly before figuring out the enemy's fortifications. He must launch a feint attack and then bombard the position with mortars to test the enemy's firepower network configuration, personnel distribution, etc."

"A fully staffed army squadron was wiped out by the Chinese ragtag troops."

"Ito Chuza is to blame and should commit suicide to thank the Emperor."

After the irritable Matsushita Taro calmed down a little, the secretary beside him couldn't help but say, "Report, Ito Chuzuo was shot and died. He has died to thank the Emperor."

Taro Matsushita turned his head, his eyes glared, his facial features twisted, his eyes spitting fire, and he had a terrifying expression as if he wanted to eat the secretary alive.

In the temporary operations meeting room.

There were also several army officers in charge of military operations. At this time, someone frowned and said:

"Ito Chuzue is stupid. Even if he was attacked fiercely by the Chinese, with the weapons and equipment of his troops, he could still resist step by step, even if he was defeated. After losing some people, he could break out of the encirclement!"

Matsushita Taro looked aside and asked, "Tell me in detail about the battle situation of Ito Chuzue and the others."

"Yes!"

The Japanese in charge of intelligence began to reveal all the information about the destruction of the army squadron led by Ito Chuzue.

"What? They were not surrounded and annihilated, but after a head-on charge, they were counterattacked by the Chinese and were eventually annihilated?"

"Baga, when did the Chinese firepower become so strong?"

"We have an armory, and someone secretly stole a lot of guns, ammunition, grenades, and even a few mortars. The damn Chinese stole our weapons and turned around to attack us with them!"

"That shouldn't be the case. The Chinese only have a few hundred men in the first line of defense. How could they wipe out an elite army squadron of the Empire of Japan with just one counterattack? There must be something fishy going on here."

In response to the officers' doubts, the Japanese soldier in charge of intelligence gave a shocking explanation:

"On the Chinese side, the commander of that ragtag group of troops is a guerrilla force that has been roaming around Shanghai. Their captain is Zhou Qingshan and their deputy captain is named Lu. Both of them have walked through snowy mountains and grasslands and are veterans with rich combat experience. This time, they brought more than 200 people into Shanghai."

"boom!"

Matsushita Taro slammed the table and said angrily, "These cowardly Chinese people cannot be defeated head-on, so they can only use some tricks. When our large army arrives, we will definitely kill them without a burial."

Afterwards, Taro Matsushita asked someone to connect with Kanemitsura Keijiro's troops.

"Hey, Kaneko Eijiro, you should have received the news that the vanguard was wiped out. What is your battle plan now?"

On the other end of the conversation, Kanemitsu Keijiro said, "This time, we are two infantry battalions fighting together. Even if we lost a few hundred people, we still have 3,500 people, and we are equipped with artillery teams, heavy machine gun teams, etc. Although the enemy has a large number of people, they are not soldiers who have been on the battlefield, so there is no need to worry."

What this meant was that an army force of more than 3,500 men would go straight ahead and annihilate the enemy with overwhelming force.

Matsushita Taro felt a headache and advised:

"Kankou Keijiro, the battlefield is no joke. If you lose, do you know what that means?"

"I don't care what method you use. This battle can only be won, not lost."

"If you lose the battle, you can expect to be court-martialed!"

Taro Matsushita was very self-aware. Although he was the highest officer in charge of all affairs in Shanghai, he was not familiar with military affairs and did not make any comments or interfere with Kanemitsu Keijiro's combat deployment.

He only wants one result, win!

Destroy this Chinese group that is causing trouble at the port dock in Shanghai.

"Yes, I will destroy the enemy at any cost. If the battle fails, I will commit suicide to apologize."

After hanging up the phone, Matsushita Taro felt uneasy about the promise made by Kanemitsu Keijiro.

He could only look at the other officers and ask:

"Except for the army, how many personnel do we have in Shanghai that can be deployed to fight?"

An officer replied, "We currently have more than 1,000 military police, 500 guards, and about 2,000 other soldiers responsible for patrol and guard, not including the detective team that defected to us in Japan."

Matsushita Taro asked again, "If we mobilize all of them, how many people can we gather?"

The officer said, "We can mobilize about 2,000 people. If we include the detective team, we can have 2,500 people."

Matsushita Taro sneered when he heard this, "Don't count the detective team. These sycophantic lackeys are spineless and afraid of death. If they were on the battlefield, they would probably have peed their pants before they even fired a shot."

Another officer asked, "Do we really need to temporarily withdraw 2,000 men from the gendarmerie and the security regiment to support the battlefield?"

Matsushita Taro said, "Kanmitsu Eijiro is average in ability and will probably not be able to defeat the other guerrilla leader. With these two thousand men supporting him from the rear, even if he loses, it won't be such a disastrous defeat."

at the same time.

Kanemitsu Keijiro, who was on his way to the battlefield, was also troubled, and he was facing foreign devils from the British and French concessions.

Not long ago.

As they were marching quickly, they were suddenly shot and many soldiers were killed.

The team tracked the murderer all the way and found that the person who fired the shot had sneaked into two British and French concessions one after another.

At this time, Kanemitsu Keijiro was negotiating with the high-level foreign officials, demanding that they hand over the murderer.

"No, no, the murderer is definitely not from our concession. It must be a frame-up." Campbell from the French Concession was very excited.

"Our soldiers have no reason to attack your Japanese troops. Campbell is right. There must be someone in disguise, misleading your judgment, and then putting the blame on us." William from the British Concession explained.

Faced with the extremely vicious and furious Japanese devils, even the foreign devils were afraid!

After all, this is the land of China.

Since the Japanese army launched a full-scale offensive, more than one million people have been deployed, which is crazy.

Where are those foreign devils?

There were only about two thousand foreign soldiers guarding the concession. How could they compete with the Japanese army?

"Bang bang~~~"

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, deafening gunshots rang out simultaneously in the two concessions.

Fortunately, Kanemitsu Keijiro dodged quickly, otherwise his head would have been split open. Several Japanese soldiers around him were unfortunately shot and fell down. They were all hit in the head and died on the spot, with blood splattered all over the ground.

"Bagaya road!"

Kanemitsu Keijiro shouted angrily, drew out his officer's sword, and made a gesture to launch an attack.

Countless Japanese devils pointed their guns at the British and French concessions.

Of course, the foreign soldiers also raised their guns, ready to engage in a fight at any time.

Campbell and William were speechless and looked very unhappy, so they quickly called a halt.

"It must be Shenzhou's agents, lurking in our concession, who attacked you and thus provoked a fight between us."

"I, Campbell, promise to find the murderer and give you Japan justice. At the same time, in order to make up for your losses, we are willing to make certain compromises and compensate you with money."

Upon hearing this.

Kanemitsu Keijiro calmed down, and then he started to ask for a huge sum of compensation.

He was not stupid, and he knew clearly that the person who shot him secretly was 100% a hidden Shenzhou agent.

"set off!"

"The harbor wharf in the middle section of Shanghai."

After succeeding, Kanemitsu Keijiro left with satisfaction, and no fierce fight really broke out between the two sides.
