Matsui Iwane studied with more than thirty headquarters staff members for nearly two hours and speculated on various possibilities.
It was even speculated that the Dragon Boat Festival would continue its westward attack on Huishan Town.
However, there are too many possibilities, and Huishan Town is very close to Wuxi. Once Huishan Town is attacked, Wuxi will be the first to reinforce it.
Matsui Iwane felt that unless Duanwu was really crazy, he would never attack Huishan Town. He preferred that after Duanwu attacked Kunshan County, he would go around the east side of Changshu and then cross the river via Haimen.
Then take the Beishan to Nantong line and then find a way back to Bengbu.
In other words, the end point of the Dragon Boat Festival is Bengbu, which Matsui Iwane is very sure of. After all, all the Dragon Boat Festival troops are in the Bengbu area.
"Yuhe, it seems that our troops can finally move. Let the imperial troops in Nantong and Haimen take action. It is very likely that the Dragon Boat Festival will cross the river from here. Let the imperial troops in Changshu send out a reconnaissance team. I want
Know exactly when to prepare to cross the river during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Order the Air Force Brigade to send out reconnaissance planes for investigation. I will cast a giant net. No matter where Dragon Boat Festival goes, planes from our empire will be chasing him, hahaha!"
Matsui Iwane laughed loudly, and at this time all the staff members unanimously praised the commander for his brilliance.
But at this time, before Matsui Iwane could order the messenger to deliver the order, a communications officer ran into the war room in a panic and reported: "Your Excellency, Huishan Town has been lost."
"Nani?"
Matsui Iwane was surprised because he never expected that Dragon Boat Festival would capture another city so quickly, and it was the town of Huishan that he least expected. What if the Chinese counterattacked?
In just four hours, the Dragon Boat Festival captured two cities one after another. Can all Chinese people know how to fly?
"On Baga Ya Road, order the imperial army from Wuxi to rush to support quickly, and order the imperial army from the direction of Changzhou to outflank him. I want to surround the daring Duanwu in Huishan Town and trap him to death. I don't believe it anymore.
There will be reinforcements in our hinterland to rescue him.
Give me an order to the Luhang Brigade to send a reconnaissance plane to follow Duanwu, and I must catch him."
Matsui Iwane slammed the table angrily, and then all the little devils took action. Obviously, this time, the little devils had already begun to spend a lot of money to fight the Dragon Boat Festival to the death!
···············
At the same time, on the high seas, Xu Bowen had already escaped the Japanese pursuit on his small steamer.
His ship was too fast, and the Japanese patrol boats could not catch up. And the Japanese warships were even less able to catch up with such a small boat.
So although the Japanese were angry, it was of no use. They could only watch the small boat gradually disappear from their sight.
Of course, the Japs will not give up, because after intercepting all the way to no avail, the Japs also realized that the people who robbed the bank must have taken the waterway, and coupled with the strange behavior of this small steamer, then...
We can't let it go anymore.
But even so, it may take some time for the Japanese to find Xu Bowen's small steamer again. Because Xu Bowen, an old fox, did not go all the way east on the high seas, but turned to the northeast. He wanted to take a detour
Go to Hawaii.
But at this time, Xu Bowen's unusual movements aroused Cao Ying's vigilance.
Duanwu had reminded Cao Ying before that Xu Bowen was very likely to rebel. Cao Ying still didn't believe it at the time, after all Duanwu only talked about looking at faces.
As a materialist, Cao Ying felt that physiognomy was not trustworthy. What's more, she had been following Xu Bowen and never saw him do anything untoward.
But at this time, Xu Bowen's actions were too obvious. He had no intention of heading south back to the Kuomintang-controlled area. Instead, he walked northeast, then turned east, and then walked southeast again.
This was what Cao Ying saw when Xu Bowen and the captain were planning the route. If they continued along this route, their destination would be the Hawaiian Islands.
In other words, Xu Bowen wanted to commit treason and take the gold to join the Americans.
"If you notice Xu Bowen's treason, you can make a decisive decision and never tolerate it."
At this time, Cao Ying thought of Dragon Boat Festival's words again.
"We must not show mercy to those who treason."
Cao Ying thought to herself, but it would not be easy for her to kill Xu Bowen alone, because the people around Xu Bowen at this time were all his best friends who he had single-handedly supported.
What's more, these people are obsessed with profit and are waiting to share the gold, so how can they listen to her orders?
Cao Ying was sitting on the bow of the boat watching the sea, but she was thinking about countermeasures in her heart.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, Xu Bowen came over.
This old fox has been coveting Cao Ying's body for a long time, but Cao Ying has always only shown admiration for him, without any feelings between men and women.
As for Xu Bowen, it was precisely because of this admiration that he did not show strong possessiveness.
But things are different now, he is about to become a free American.
He slowly walked towards the bow of the boat and said side by side with Cao Ying: "Do you also like to see the sea? Me too. I heard someone say when I was very young that if you have never seen the sea, you don't know the sea.
of vastness.
Look at this sea, it’s full of water, and you don’t know how many lives it has given birth to.
Hahaha,......"
Xu Bowen was showing off his knowledge in front of Cao Ying, but he didn't want to get to this point because he really couldn't make it up anymore.
What's more, what he was thinking about was not the sea at all but the agitated feeling in the sea.
At this moment, it seemed that his whole body was filled with excitement following the ups and downs of the ship, and he could hardly bear it any longer.
But little did he know that Cao Ying couldn't help it anymore. There was no one around at this time, only Xu Bowen was with her at the bow of the boat, which was the best opportunity for her to take action.
She turned her head and smiled brightly and said: "Stationmaster, do you think if we continue to drive like this, where will the boat go?"
Xu Bowen's face tightened, because Xu Bowen had not yet figured out how to explain to Cao Ying about going to Hawaii to join the Americans. After all, Cao Ying's respect for him made him enjoy it.
But Xu Bowen is an old fox after all, but when Cao Ying asked, he had to answer: "Cao Ying, you have also seen what China is doing, and it is not optimistic. And we, to put it nicely, are the sharp knives of this country.
The battle is at the forefront.
To put it mildly, we are cannon fodder.
Take this trip to Shanghai during the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. The superiors asked us to follow their orders, but what about the Dragon Boat Festival? They asked us to obey their orders.
But now that Dragon Boat Festival has left Shanghai alive, how can we explain it to Shangfeng?
Moreover, they don't regard us as human beings at all. We are fighting bravely on the front line, but they have never cared about our sufferings?
They will only give us one mission after another that we cannot complete at all, and it is even very likely that the entire army will be annihilated.
One of them is like this, and both of them are like this. If they continue like this, sooner or later we will die in their hands.
So I love this country and I don’t want it to die, but I always have to think about the people around me, such as you and Wang Feng. I watched you grow up, and I really don’t want anything to happen to you!
