The commander of the North China Front, Shun Tada, received the news on the train from Datong to Peiping that the imperial army on the northern and southern battlefields had been completely wiped out.

After reading the telegram, Tada Shun sat motionless in his chair as if he had been restrained. Kasahara Yukio and other staff members stayed on the other side of the carriage, with horror, sadness and a trace of confusion on their faces.

"It's over... it's over... it's over for North China..."

Someone whispered, and the sound was very harsh in the bumpy car.

Yukio Kasahara carefully looked at Shun Tada's expression, his eyes occasionally glancing at the saber and pistol hanging aside.

Kawashima Yoshiko did not return to Peiping with the headquarters, so no one dared to step forward to comfort Tada Shun. Everyone was thinking about their own things.

"beep……"

When we were about to enter the tunnel, the train suddenly blew its whistle.

Tada Shun was frightened by the voice. He calmed down slightly and then looked at the telegram on the table, his eyes dull.

Under the caring or blank gazes of the officers, Tada Shun slowly stood up and walked to the car window, staring blankly out of the window.

The world outside the window is pitch black, with no light visible, just like Shun Tada and the North China Front at this moment.

Emotions such as anger, anger, and shock no longer exist in Shun Tada's body. He doesn't want to think about things at the moment, mainly because he doesn't want to think about his failure.

"Didi didi..."

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of wheels rubbing against the rails was intertwined with the sound of the radio in the carriage, one inside and one outside.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, telegram from headquarters."

The telegraph operator came to Kasahara Yukio's side and deliberately lowered his voice and said.

Kasahara Yukio looked away from Tada Shun. When he cast his gaze on the yellowish telegraph newspaper, his eyebrows jumped involuntarily.

Regardless of whether it would make matters worse, he came to Tada Shun's side and said:

"Your Majesty Commander, the base camp requires us to report detailed losses.

In addition, the base camp received a report from the Kwantung Army that all the puppet border guards in Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe were instigated to rebel. The border in this area has completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese. In some areas,

There were even Soviets and Outer Mongolians stationed in the area.

The Kwantung Army was under tremendous pressure, and the base camp severely reprimanded us."

Jun Tada turned his head and glanced at the combat map hanging on the wall of the carriage, and said in a leisurely voice:

"Unexpectedly, I not only underestimated Jiangdong's ability, but also underestimated his appetite.

It seems that Jiangdong is likely to attack Hebei, Shandong and other places. Alas, it cannot be defended..."

"Pfft..."

A staff officer with poor psychological quality fell to the floor, his eyes full of despair and confusion.

Shun Tada did not scold him, he just sneered at himself.

"Commander, don't be discouraged. Reinforcements from the mainland will land in Tianjin and Qingdao in a few days. Although an attack is impossible, there should be no problem in defending Hebei, Shandong and other places."

"I am a sinner of the empire, it is not my turn to worry about these things, haha..."

Tada Shun was right. The day the reinforcements landed was when he was removed from his post and questioned. The North China Front suffered a devastating blow this time. As the highest military officer, Tada Shun had no chance to go to a military court. Caesarean section was his only option.

choice.

The expressions of Yukio Kasahara and his staff became even gloomier.

Although they are not directly responsible, they still have to bear some responsibilities to a certain extent, and will bear a huge black spot in their military careers.

The black spots are shame, which will make them unable to hold their heads high in front of other colleagues.

Kasahara Yukio worried about his fate for a second, then raised the telegram and asked:

"How to reply to the base camp?"

Shun Tada made a move that made everyone in the carriage feel their hearts skip a beat. He took off the sword given to him by the emperor from the wall of the carriage and unsheathed the sword with a clang.

His old and depressed expression was printed on the smooth blade surface. Tada Shun's eyes flickered continuously, and finally he shook his head and sheathed the sword.

"Oh, reply truthfully. No matter what the order from the base camp is, I will resolutely obey it after arriving in Peiping."

Kasahara Yukio breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took his staff to calculate the losses and prepare a reply message.

"Bangdang...bangdang..."

The sound of the wheels made Shun Tada feel inexplicably at ease. He slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in the monotonous sound.

…

"Captain, here we come, here we come..."

In the shadows beside the railway, Tan Pei covered his mouth and said to Chen Zhengyue.

Chen Zhengyue nodded, and the train's lights could already be seen in the telescope.

After the Battle of Guisui, the Hunter Brigade continued eastward and began to explore the Japanese defense situation in southern Chahar.

They had just received a telegram from Jiang Dong a few hours ago, and Jiang Dong told Chen Zhengyue about Feng Jinzhang.

After learning about Feng Jinzhang, Xiao Chen paid more attention to the task he was going to perform tonight, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

"Shun Tada, Yukio Kasahara, I want to use your heads to pay homage to Lao Feng!"

He gritted his molars and uttered a few words coldly.

Tan Pei beside him also clenched his fists, with murderous intent blooming all over his body.

"Act according to the original plan, and remember to catch as many as possible alive as possible!" Chen Zhengyue said in a low voice:

"Let the soldiers cheer up and don't underestimate the enemy. These are the last elites of the North China Front. Don't underestimate their fighting will."

"clear!"

There are 500 of the most elite soldiers of the North China Front responsible for protecting Tada Shun. In terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will, these soldiers are far superior to the Japanese of ordinary divisions.

There is only one train, but there are two armored cars in front of the train and one armored car in the rear.

The ambush location chosen by Chen Zhengyue was still in Chahar. This place was a fork in the road.

The main road leads to Beiping, and the auxiliary road leads to the mines in the north.

There is a switch squad at the fork in the road, but now they have all been replaced by soldiers from the hunter brigade.

Seeing the train approaching, a soldier from the hunter brigade came to the switch crossing with a signal light and drew a circle.

The Japanese driver in the armored vehicle was very familiar with this road. His mind was not on driving at the moment, but on sighing and discussing the battlefield situation with his colleagues beside him.

The two armored vehicles passed through the fork at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but the train not far behind took another road.

By the time a few drivers noticed something was wrong, it was already too late!

"squeak……"

"Click... bang bang bang..."

A sharp brake sound suddenly sounded, and the friction between the rails and the wheels gave off a dazzling flame.

The next second, the train pulling 500 soldiers and central officers of the North China Front rushed off the tracks and rolled over into a ditch full of cinders next to the driveway.

The armored vehicle on the other road had worse luck than the train. After two violent explosions, the armored vehicle turned into a burning iron can and continued to move forward.

Shun Tada was closing his eyes and thinking about the glory and beauty he had experienced in this life. When the train braked suddenly, his head hit the desk hard.

Before he could recover from his dizziness, the carriage was spinning. Then, Tada Shun felt like his body was flying around and bumping around in the carriage like a pumpkin.

His body was broken in many places and his head was almost cracked.

Kasahara Yukio and other members of the headquarters also experienced similar experiences.

The most tragic thing was the several machine gun teams on the roof. When the train rolled over, the chassis team was directly buried in the soil. Dozens of tons of heavy objects ran over the Japanese soldiers, and they suddenly turned into cinders.

of red crumbs.

"Ahhhh..."

The Japanese in the carriage howled like ghosts, and tables, chairs, benches, radios, and telegrams were thrown at them, causing heavy casualties in an instant.

After everything stopped, Tada Shun lay struggling among the broken debris.

"Your Excellency, Commander... Your Excellency, Commander..."

Yukio Kasahara, whose face was covered in blood, shouted while crawling.

"Cough cough cough..."

Tada Shun coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and struggled to crawl a few times, but heartbreaking pain was felt throughout his body.

"Someone, come quickly, save your Excellency, Commander..."

Yukio Kasahara crawled next to Shun Tada, who found that one of the latter's legs had been shattered. A bloody gash stretched from his forehead to his cheek, and all his bones were exposed.

Tada Shun almost fainted, but his remaining spirit and will were supporting him.

He held Yukio Kasahara tightly with both hands and said in a trembling voice:

"Jiangdong, it must be Jiangdong...his special forces are here...

Kasahara-kun, help me, I can’t fall into the hands of the Chinese, help me quickly...

Cough cough cough…”

Tada Shun's reaction at this moment was very quick, and he immediately thought of the all-pervasive Koto Special Forces.

Yukio Tatsukasahara hesitated for a second and shook his head firmly.

"Your Majesty Commander, you have to hold on, and someone will come quickly!"

"Ahhhh..."

Kasahara Yukio's answer was only a series of miserable howls, and no one came to help at all.
Chapter completed!
