In addition to the Dragon Boat Festival breaking out to the west, Matsui believed that the Dragon Boat Festival would most likely break out to the northwest, and the Japanese troops there were weak and it would be difficult to stop the Dragon Boat Festival from escaping to the northwest.
Thinking of this, Matsui Iwane ordered a section of the 114th Division to quickly send reinforcements to Lai'an County to block the possible appearance of the Dragon Boat Festival Division.
The Japanese 114th Division was just a second-class division.
But such a little-known 114th Division was one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre.
However, the 114th Division was not the main force, but only one of them to cooperate with the Japanese 6th Division to break through the 88th Division's position in Yuhuatai and finally enter Nanjing.
The other part of the 114th Division crossed the Yangtze River and headed north, responsible for guarding and consolidating the Japanese army's gains.
But in order to deal with the Dragon Boat Festival, Matsui Iwane no longer had to worry about so much. There was the 39th Regiment of the Japanese Tenth Division on the eastern front. Only the western front and the northwest were the weakest links, so Matsui Iwane could only take risks.
Of course, after the Japanese soldiers from the 114th Division were transferred away, Matsui Iwane would transfer other Japanese soldiers to supplement them, which would not affect the security of the occupied area.
Of course, this was not enough, because many failures had made Matsui Iwane understand that no matter who he sent, Danwu would probably escape alive, so to be on the safe side, he had a new plan.
There is a card in Matsui Iwane's hand, although he has never been willing to use this card.
"Come here, get the car ready for me. I'm going to the Army Hospital."
Matsui Iwane gave the order, and his guards began to prepare.
This old devil cherishes his life. Every time he travels, there will be no less than fifty guards, and each of them is a carefully selected elite.
The guards were ready, and accompanied by Matsui's adjutant, the group went straight to the Army Hospital.
At this time, an extremely important person was lying in the intensive care unit of the Army Hospital.
This man was wearing a hospital gown with sleeves and his feet were chained to the hospital bed. It was Zhu Shengzhong who had woken up.
When Zhu Shengzhong woke up, he realized that he was still alive and surrounded by Japanese.
With Zhu Shengzhong's personality, he would not be a prisoner, but he committed suicide many times, but the Japanese stopped him every time, and took the strictest protection measures for him. There were two doctors and four nurses working in two shifts around the clock.
Escorts, and these people are all Chinese.
The Japanese said to Zhu Shengzhong: If you die, they and their family members will also be buried with you.
This sentence can only make Zhu Shengzhong stay in the hospital and receive treatment quietly, otherwise not one or two people will die.
What's more, his injuries were serious. In addition to the three bullets removed from his body, there were still more than a dozen shrapnel that had not been removed from his body. Even the Japanese who performed the surgery said that this was simply a medical miracle.
But Zhu Shengzhong really didn't want to live, because he knew very well why the Japanese kept him alive now.
But he can't die yet, because if he dies, the two nurses and a Chinese doctor in front of him will also die, including their families.
And secretly, these people have begged me countless times.
Their families are all in Shanghai. One of the doctors has three wives and six children, and his parents are also in Shanghai. So once Zhu Shengzhong dies, no one knows how many people will die.
These people have all seen the methods of the Japs. Previously, there was a Chinese doctor in the Japs hospital who was unwilling to treat the Japs. Not only was he beaten to death on the spot, but his family members were also brutally murdered.
And especially the doctor's wife, it is said that she was taken away to serve the Japanese.
It goes without saying that what the Japs say sounds nice, but I'm afraid everyone knows exactly what they are going to do.
Zhu Shengzhong was a bloody man. How could he die under such circumstances?
He didn't want to implicate innocent people. The worst he could do was torture the little devils to extract confessions. He, Zhu Shengzhong, wasn't even afraid of death, so how could he be afraid of this?
So he should eat and drink in the hospital, and he actually gained some weight in the past few days.
"ah!"
The sixteen-year-old nurse asked Zhu Shengzhong to open his mouth as if feeding a child, and then put a spoonful of canned yellow peaches into Zhu Shengzhong's mouth.
Zhu Shengzhong leaned back on the pillow and ate the canned yellow peach in his mouth, feeling that life was just like this.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and four Japanese soldiers broke in. The one who walked in next came with the rank of lieutenant general.
Seeing this, Zhu Shengzhong felt that his good days were probably coming to an end. He waved his hand to the nurse to stay away, while he looked at the nurse with a contemptuous smile.
At this moment, a Japanese soldier said in broken Chinese: "This is our Commander Matsui, and he came to see you today."
"Matsui Iwane?"
A big question mark was drawn in Zhu Shengzhong's mind, but he didn't expect that the old devil would come in person.
It's just a pity that not only can he not move his hands and feet now, but the injuries on his body are not healed either. He is only temporarily out of danger and has regained consciousness. Otherwise, he would definitely find a way to kill the other party.
Of course, the same goes for Matsui Iwane. For Danwu and his men, Matsui Iwane has always wanted to get rid of them quickly.
But at this time, he had already thought of a great idea.
He smiled and said to Zhu Shengzhong: "Mr. Zhu, I am very happy that you can come to Shanghai."
Zhu Shengzhong was surprised because from the tone of his voice, he actually knew his name. Could it be that he called him out in his sleep?
But if you think about it carefully, this is wrong, because who would call his own name in his sleep?
Seeing Zhu Shengzhong's surprised expression, Matsui Iwane said proudly: "Mr. Zhu, don't be surprised, your name is written on your clothes!"
At this time, Zhu Shengzhong suddenly realized that he originally wrote his name on his clothes so that when he was sacrificed on the battlefield, the friendly forces could engrave his name on the tombstone when they buried him, but he didn't want to take advantage of the Japanese.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a name. What will the devil do if he knows it?
Zhu Shengzhong said: "Old devil, stop being hypocritical. If you have any dirty tricks, just use them. Mr. Zhu, I will continue. If I frown, then I am not a Chinese man!"
Matsui Iwane smiled and said: "Hehehe, don't worry, Mr. Zhu, there is no dirty trick. As Japanese, we admire heroes like you very much, and by the way, there is also your Dragon Boat Festival group. So this time, I am here
I just want to hear your story, like your group?"
Zhu Shengzhong sneered, because it was obvious that the old devil in front of him was still here to make excuses.
But it didn't matter, because he originally wanted to brag to the Japs about how amazing their group was, and he would scare the little Japs to death! . . .
