Chapter 875 Are you too lazy to pretend?
Kondo Shinpachi now feels like he's being fooled. If he honestly allows them to enter the city, although the problem can be suppressed for the time being, there is no guarantee that they will cause trouble in the city again and cause more trouble.
But if they are not allowed to enter the city, they will provoke trouble now and start fighting directly.
"Forget it, let's let them enter the city first and send someone to watch them along the way. If anything happens, we must protect the dignity of the empire even if it means offending the Chinese!"
"Hayi!"
Dai Anlan received the telegram, and both of them shed tears of regret. If they had known earlier, they would have asked for two thousand people to enter the city.
"Chief of Staff, we only have 200 men now. Which unit should we send into the city?"
"Let your artillery scouts go in and make sure to make a complete and detailed map. When the time comes, don't tell me that you can't find the enemy's position."
"OK, no problem!"
Early the next morning, artillery scouts in plain clothes, carrying self-defense pistols and maps in their pockets, marched in an orderly manner into Guangzhou city.
Standing at the city gate and looking at the neatly-lined troops, Kondo Shinpachi was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table. He originally wanted to save some face and specifically asked the independent column to change into casual clothes. However, they ended up wearing ordinary people's clothes and lined up neatly to announce it to the world.
"Watch them to death!"
After saying this, Kondo Shinpachi walked away. According to his understanding of the Chinese character, the Chinese are indeed very tolerant, but once they decide not to tolerate it anymore, it means they have enough capital or the courage to win or die.
He now had to find a retreat route for the entire joint command and the entire 130th Division. If they were defeated, they would have to find a place to escape to.
After much thought, the most likely possibility is to escape via the sea, flee to Hainan Island, and fight guerrilla warfare with them!
Therefore, Kondo Shinpachi used the Kondo family's influence on the main island of Japan to get him three troop transport ships and four gunboats overnight.
Although Kondo Shinpachi was somewhat dissatisfied, a "fleet" of this size was already a luxury.
The artillery scouts who entered the city began to wander around the city aimlessly, and then carried out surveying and mapping openly, which made the common people marvel.
After five days of searching, they almost turned Guangzhou upside down and killed thousands of dogs, but they couldn't find a single military dog.
The Chief of Staff of the 130th Division, Yoshimura Yoshiji, had a very good temper, but it was completely destroyed. Whenever he heard a dog barking, he would rush over as if he heard his wife barking, for fear of missing it.
"Sir, please describe the appearance or characteristics of this military dog in detail so that we can mobilize the entire 130th Division to search for it."
"Well, it's hard to describe its specific appearance. I'll just give you two simple points: it has a strong body, strong limbs, a round head and big eyes, is as quiet as a virgin, and moves as fast as a rabbit. Oh, and it has patterns on its body."
Yoshimura Yoshiji thought about it, looked at the back of the man who left after saying that, and almost vomited blood.
"Hey, is there still a word 'king' written on your forehead?"
This is not a military dog, it's clearly a tiger.
Yoshimura Yoshiji was completely furious. This independent column was now openly bullying others and they were too lazy to even pretend?
"Baka! Baka! Keep an eye on them!"
Then, a magical scene appeared in Guangzhou city: a Chinese man was followed by a dozen Japanese devils, and they were strolling around everywhere.
Finally, three days later, the artillery scouts had completed the survey and waved their hands, deciding not to look for it anymore. They just regarded it as giving the military dog to the Japanese, and lined up in front of the joint headquarters, singing military songs and preparing to march towards the city gate.
Under Guan Gu Shenqi's constant exaggeration, the young officers of the headquarters rushed downstairs angrily, broke through the obstruction of the military police, and fought with the artillery scouts who were singing military songs.
Finally, under the suppression of the military police, the crowd was separated.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Meng looked at the scout captain with a bruised face and nose, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"What's wrong? Is this your first time fighting the Japs?"
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, yes! In the past, when we fought with the Japanese with bayonets, it was either you or I. But this time, we were afraid that our maps would be taken back, so we didn't dare to draw our guns. Otherwise, we would have killed all those Japanese!"
When Dai Anlan heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
"What's going on? You can't defeat the enemy without drawing your gun?"
"No, Commander. They sent out five or six hundred people. We are not weak. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were seriously injured. We learned a trick from the Chief of Staff and attacked from three directions directly. We hit them accurately with every kick."
Dai Anlan looked at Wang Meng with a complicated expression, thinking that at least dozens more Japanese soldiers had been sterilized.
Wang Meng also glared at the captain of the artillery reconnaissance troops.
"Don't say what you shouldn't say. Oh, by the way, tomorrow find a few smart soldiers, wrap them up like mummies, and go ask the Japanese for an explanation. Can you swallow the loss?"
Early the next morning, in a villa outside Guangzhou, Dai Anlan pushed a dozen soldiers who were wrapped in bandages with only one eye exposed, and directly demanded Kondo Shinpachi to hand over the murderer, otherwise the Japanese would bear the consequences.
Kondo Shinpachi's face was gloomy. He had suffered more grievances and insults in the past few days than in his entire life.
"Commander Dai, as far as I know, my men suffered many more injuries than yours yesterday, and they were all seriously injured."
"No, it's impossible! There are four or five hundred of you in total, and we only have two hundred. Even four or five hundred pigs can crush my people to death!"
As Dai Anlan spoke, the corners of his mouth rose. He had never negotiated like this in his life. It seemed that the country was strong. Even if someone pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would not dare to talk back.
"Commander Dai! Although we have four or five hundred people, most of them are newly graduated staff officers with no actual combat experience, and your soldiers are killing us with every move. Now there are still dozens of officers whose lives are in danger."
Dai Anlan slammed the table in extreme anger.
"No matter what, it was your people who started it first, so you must hand over the murderer, otherwise this matter will not end!"
"Baga, you are going too far. See you on the battlefield!"
Kondo Shinpachi walked away in anger, leaving Dai Anlan with a sneer on his face.
"Commander, can you please remove the bandage? It's so stuffy!"
"Why rush? Wait until the devils are far away!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Independent Column sent a telegram to the Japanese Chief of Staff, Yamamoto Sugamo, through secret channels, explaining the Guangzhou incident and deciding to launch an attack on Guangzhou.
Although Shanshan Yuan didn't care much about Guangzhou, they were still his subordinates after all, so he called Wang Meng back and asked him to give him two days, and he would definitely give a satisfactory answer.
However, the secret channel seemed to be cut off and there was no response.
"It's over. I'm afraid there will never be a 130th Division again! Order Nagase Yamaga in Hainan Island to stay alert, and Nagatake Tachijuro in Hong Kong."
