The "kidnapping case" that occurred at the Fengxin County Government was not noticed by the Japanese army until ten minutes later. When Zhongdao Jingcun walked into the temporary headquarters with a dozen of his subordinates, the other Japanese in the county government office building did not know at all. Knowing that their commander had been kidnapped, the first person who sensed something was wrong was a second lieutenant under Nakajima. He had a keen sense of smell and smelled a trace of blood in the air. He asked Nakajima to stop moving and follow the smell of blood. I looked over and found the two military policemen hidden behind the filing cabinet.
The two military policemen were already dead, and one of them had his brains flowing out. They looked particularly terrifying. Seeing this scene, Nakajima Jingcun almost instinctively shouted: "Not good." Then he rushed into the basement quickly. , he was so nervous that he actually rolled down the stairs without stepping on his feet. What made him break out in a cold sweat afterwards was that he rolled down the stairs with a loud "boom" sound. The wooden staircase suddenly exploded in the middle. Not only were the three men walking on it killed, but a few people outside were also seriously injured.
The explosion alerted other Japs in the building. All the Japs rushed out and nervously asked what happened.
Nakajima, who fell to the ground, was so frightened that he almost peed all over the floor again, "Booby trap, Ba Ge, must be someone from Langya." He suddenly thought of this, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He didn't care when he got up. Checking the injuries on his body, he found the pistol and held it tightly in his hand. He shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency." Then he walked in carefully.
There was a major lying on the ground in the basement. Just by looking at the large pool of blood under his neck, you knew that this man had expired. When he saw him, Nakajima was startled and almost pulled the trigger. The space in the basement was not very large. Big, after all, this is just a small air-raid shelter that provides air defense for the county magistrate and others. The desk in the distance is in a mess, with many telegrams and other things scattered everywhere, as if there has been a fierce fight, Nakajima He quickly scanned the entire basement, but did not find Neji Okamura. His legs went limp and he almost sat on the ground. The next moment, he shouted nervously: "Sound the alarm, be on alert, be on alert for the whole city."
"Hello, woe..." the whistle blew, and the next moment, chaos broke out inside and outside the Fengxin County Government Building.
Yoshimoto Teiji was walking to the gate of the county government, surrounded by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. When he heard the explosion, he was shocked and immediately ran over without thinking. When he saw a few soldiers blowing their whistles hard at the door, he immediately Asked loudly: "What happened."
"We don't know either. This is an order from Lord Nakajima."
"Where is Nakajima-dono?"
"He was in the basement, and the stairs to the basement were blown up."
"Ah, where is your Excellency the Commander?"
"I don't know, we, we haven't seen it."
Gibbon's expression changed immediately,
As soon as the whistle blew, all the nearby Japanese soldiers became commotion. The captains and team captains came over with their men one after another to ask what happened. At this time, Zhongdao Jingcun in the basement finally calmed down. The situation couldn’t be more clear. Neji Okamura should have been kidnapped by the cadet army. A group commander of the Imperial Japanese Army was actually kidnapped by the enemy in his own headquarters. It seems incredible, but When he thought about the battle he encountered on the south bank of Jinjiang River, and when he thought that it was just a regular force of the Xuebing Army, Nakajima felt that there seemed to be nothing to make a fuss about, "Langya, it must be the Langya of the Xuebing Army. "He murmured to himself and suddenly felt a cold feeling on his body.
"Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff is here." One of his men suddenly shouted from above,
"Get me up first, and the two of you will come down."
A few minutes later, Nakajima Seimura stepped on the shoulders of the two Japanese with great effort and got out of the basement with the help of his subordinates. When he met Yoshimoto Sadaji's eyes, he winked and pulled the latter to a room next to him. , all the houses have been searched by the military police, and the corpses have been cleaned up. They have even found the path Lu Zhibai and the others took to evacuate, and a squadron of military police followed the trail.
"The commander may have been kidnapped by the Chinese." Nakajima Jingcun said straight to the point,
After entering the headquarters and not seeing Okamura Neji, Yoshimoto Sadji realized something was wrong. But when he thought that this place was heavily guarded, he was more worried about whether Okamura Neji would be assassinated or injured. At this time, he heard When Nakajima said this, his eyes immediately opened wide and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "What are you talking about, Commander, how is it possible?" He became excited, turned around and was about to run towards the basement.
Nakajima grabbed him and said, "We have searched the area around the headquarters and found no trace of the commander."
Just like a plate of cold water being poured on his head, Yoshimoto Sadashi stood there stupidly for more than ten seconds. He suddenly shouted: "Then why don't you send someone to chase them? They can't escape far." As he said this, After breaking free from Nakajima's hand, I wanted to support this matter personally.
Nakajima's next words made him give up this idea: "What if we catch them? If they threaten the commander's life, what will we do?"
"But, let them go just like that."
"Yoshimoto-kun, calm down and think about it carefully. If Ouyang Yun really just wants to harm the commander, does he need to go to such great lengths to kidnap the commander out? I think that if Ouyang Yun does this, he should discuss it with the city. It’s related to the Chinese people.”
"What you mean is that they want to exchange the commander for the Chinese civilians in the city."
"Yes."
"If this is the case, we will have no choice. However, what if Ouyang Yun regrets it later? He can blackmail us into letting him go first."
"Yoshimoto-kun, we have actually lost this battle, so the commander must be fine. You should know that His Majesty the Emperor values the commander very much."
"I know, it is precisely because of this reason that I feel particularly passive."
"It's true that the Commander is our weakness, but don't forget that we also have Ouyang Yun's weakness. If he really wants to exchange for the Chinese people in the city, then he will definitely not dare to play tricks. Moreover, we can ask for a higher price. Some, of course. In the end, who can benefit from this depends on which party can stick to its bottom line better. In this case, Yoshimoto-kun, we must do the opposite."
"What's the meaning."
"We have to pretend we don't care."
"But what if Ouyang Yun really kills the commander because of this."
"It is possible, but we have no other choice. Yoshimoto-kun, can't you see it? The weapons and military strength of the Chinese are now far superior to ours. Without the Chinese in the city, the defeat of our army is only a matter of time. .”
Gibbon thought for a while and said: "Then do as you say."
