Chapter 514 Li Yunlong: I received the things. Now I have to talk about our soldiers who are missing
After sending several waves of equipment and gold and silver, the three Japanese devils in the temporary command post in Taiyuan city were discussing how to continue to delay time.
"Shinozuka-kun, do we have any industrial equipment to give to you now?"
Prince Asaka Naruhiko's tone was not as tough as before, and he began to seek advice from Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Your Highness, we really can't send any more of this. The batch we just sent out was mainly inventory, and some were taken from the factory run by the Chinese and forced to be dismantled.
If we continue to send them to the Independent Regiment, I'm afraid that after I win this battle, those leaders of our joint-stock companies will come to us for an explanation.
You have to know that these joint-stock companies have close ties with our country."
Yoshio Shinozuka reminded at the right time.
Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko understood what Shinozuka Yoshio meant. The people behind these companies were probably not ordinary people. Even if Tian Huang handled it personally, he would have to think twice.
"Then let's write a softer reply and see if we can discuss it with the Independence Group. After all, we still need to buy time."
Yoshio Shinozuka reported that he knew that he had to help the Prince down at this time, otherwise it would be troublesome if he was stuck here.
It knew very well that the leader of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, was a fool. If he attacked the city without any care, it would be in a passive position.
Hearing this, Prince Asaka Naruhiko couldn't help but sigh. He had just said so stubbornly that he would definitely chop off the head of the commander of the independent regiment, but now he inevitably started to ask for help. This slap in the face came too quickly.
Just as three senior Japanese officers gathered together with worried faces thinking about what to do next, the Japanese sergeant in charge of communications came in holding a document.
"Report to His Royal Highness, the two generals, the independent regiment that is besieging our city has sent the latest telegram."
"Bring it here and let us see it."
Prince Asaka Naruhiko no longer had the calm look on his face as he had at the beginning. When he heard the news from the independent regiment, he could no longer maintain his composure.
"In view of your good attitude in admitting guilt, the unexecuted compensation will be exempted from payment for the time being. Please send someone to deliver it to Datong City within ten days. If it is overdue, a penalty interest of 1% per day will be charged."
After reading the latest telegram sent by the Independent Regiment, Prince Asaka Naruhiko breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got rid of this guy. At least this guy would not attack the city in the short term.
However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's eyebrows knitted up instantly. What does "a good attitude of confession" mean? Do I, the locust army, need to confess?
"Can you translate for me what does it mean to have a good attitude towards confession?"
Prince Asaka Naruhiko slammed the telegram in his hand at the Japanese sergeant in charge of communications and cursed loudly.
That Japanese sergeant was very innocent. I was just a telegram receiver. Even if you are a prince, you can't vent your anger on me.
Although this Japanese sergeant trembled a little when facing Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, like a frightened quail, his eyes were full of anger.
When Ningji Okamura saw that Prince Asaka Naruhiko was somewhat out of control, he quickly waved his hand and asked the Japanese sergeant in charge of communications to leave.
"Your Highness, according to the telegram from the Independent Regiment, they are about to evacuate. Should we take advantage of their evacuation to kill them by surprise?"
Ningji Okamura keenly sensed the opportunity.
As a military commander, Ningji Okamura's professional ability is unquestionable, but this time he chose the wrong target.
"Okay, order the 37th Division Commander Ando Nijizo to lead all the remaining locust troops of the 37th Division to hunt down the Independent Regiment after it withdraws.
The gold, silver and industrial equipment we sent out can just be used as a burden to slow down the retreat of the Independent Regiment."
Prince Asaka Naruhiko looked at Okamura Neiji with an approving look and adopted Okamura Neiji's opinion on the spot.
"Hai!"
Okamura Neiji and Shinozuka Yoshio bowed and answered at the same time.
The depressing atmosphere in the entire temporary command center was instantly swept away after Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko issued this order. Okamura Ning and Shinozuka Yoshio both felt that the oppressive feeling that had just weighed on their hearts was relieved a little.
However, this feeling of venting one's unhappiness did not last long. On the other side, the sergeant in charge of the Japanese communication came in with a new telegram: "Report to Your Highness, the two generals, the independent regiment headquarters besieging the city has put forward new demands."
Considering that a sergeant had angered Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko before, this Japanese sergeant was now very cautious. He bowed and handed the latest reply of the independent regiment to the three Japanese senior officers before quickly leaving.
When this telegram was unfolded in front of the three senior Japanese officers, the little bit of joy that had just risen in their hearts was instantly swallowed up.
There was only one sentence written on the telegram.
"A soldier from my unit went missing during the exercise. We request that Taiyuan City be opened and we search the city."
Upon seeing these words, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's pupils suddenly contracted. These words were so damn familiar.
This sentence was like a loud slap in the face, hitting the three devils' faces hard, making a loud slapping sound.
Four years ago, the locust army captain Shimizu Seishiro used this as an excuse to forcibly enter the Lugou Bridge area, thus marking the beginning of the locust army's invasion of North China.
At this moment, just as at that moment.
You will have to pay for what you have done.
The six eyes met, and the three senior Japanese officers remained silent.
The three devils really didn't know how to react. In order to prevent the Independent Regiment from attacking the city, they had already spent money to buy peace. In order to delay the Independent Regiment's attack, they had even surrendered to the Chinese army. They didn't expect that the Independent Regiment would eventually launch an attack.
The three senior officers of the Japanese army felt like fools, being manipulated by the independent regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Yoshio Shinozuka didn't dare to make a decision on his own, especially when the three senior officers of the Locust Army were pinned to the ground.
Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously extremely angry, but he still suppressed his anger and ordered: "Go, send another telegram to the Kwantung Army, the Hebei Army, and the Shandong Army, asking them to speed up the rescue at all costs! Otherwise, I, a prince, will really die in Taiyuan City."
"Hi!" Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka bowed in response.
"Your Highness, the independent regiment..."
Yoshio Shinozuka hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question with difficulty moving his lips.
Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko bit his lips tightly until blood oozed out before he responded, "Go and ask them what the name of their missing soldier is."
The only way for them to have a better chance of winning is to delay the Independent Regiment's siege as much as possible.
