Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1459 Let the Bullets Fly for a While (Part )

"This matter has nothing to do with anyone in the Four Lines Group. No matter what happens, retreat upon receiving the telegram!"

Zhao Lijun took out the code book he carried with him, compared it with the secret telegram to decode it, and stood there in a daze.

His immediate superior was obviously a very thoughtful person. He had even anticipated that he would inevitably come into conflict with the members of the Four-Line Regiment during the operation. In order to prevent him from being unwilling to retreat due to the conflict, he specifically pointed this out in the telegram.

It can be seen how urgent it was for him to withdraw his troops.

Could it be that, as Leng Feng said, the Fifth War Zone Commander who was ill-named was behind this? Zhao Lijun looked suspiciously at the still quiet box on the third floor, finding it hard to believe his own guess.

The commander of the Fifth War Zone is the head of the Guangxi clique and has enormous power, but he is still unable to interfere in the affairs of the Military Control Commission. His immediate superior will not easily give him face. There must be other reasons behind this.

He was smart enough to realize that this matter had little to do with Admiral Li. However, he probably couldn't think of the real reason why Major General Dai stopped causing trouble for the Four Element Regiment.

"Let's go!" Although Zhao Lijun was a vicious person, he never slacked off when it came to carrying out the orders of his immediate superior.

He knew too well that his boss was an extremely suspicious person. If he violated his orders once, it would prove to be countless times. For such a subordinate, killing him was the simplest way to deal with him.

"Commissioner Zhao, wait a minute." Leng Feng raised his hand and greeted him.

"What? Chief of Staff Leng wants me to stay for a drink?" Zhao Lijun tried his best to keep his expression normal.

"Commissioner Zhao, you're overthinking it. I just want to say that you must not take your Military Control Commission people away. The smell is really too strong. Didn't you see how Brigade Commander Wu vomited?" Leng Feng smiled.

"Someone, carry all the people back to me. Chief of Staff Leng, I believe we will see each other again someday." Before leaving, Zhao Lijun glanced at Leng Feng and the pale-faced Major General of the 70th Army with an extremely vicious look.

Leng Feng smiled indifferently, obviously not taking this threat seriously.

Only the major general of the 70th Army had a gloomy expression on his face. He knew that he was being targeted by this lackey, which was definitely not a good thing.

  But don't even mention how aggrieved the guy who suffered the disaster was. He didn't say anything. It was Leng Feng who brought it up. If you have the guts, go get Leng Feng instead of thinking about messing with me!

Seeing the 'Zhui Ming Tai Sui' carrying several corpses away in a panic, the major generals in the room looked at Leng Feng with horror.

  The Four-Line Regiment not only committed the evil act of wiping out an army major general, but also threatened to kill the leader of the army, and even shot and killed members of the Military Control Commission in public. In the end, the four great warriors of the Military Control Commission just left in disgrace?

How on earth did the Four Lines Group accomplish all this impossible?

Even if Commander Li took action personally, it is estimated that it would be impossible for the Military Control Commission to leave like this! Unless he wants to return to Guangxi Province to establish his own base, but in the current context of the national war of resistance, anyone who does so will put himself in a position where thousands of people will point fingers at him. That is not unwise, but stupid.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Everyone, I think we don't need to get involved in these trivial matters! This muddy water is not easy to wade through! I advise you to forget about what happened today after you go back." The lieutenant general chief of staff standing by the window on the third floor watched Zhao Lijun and 30 military control personnel leave before he spoke.

Behind him stood three army lieutenant generals with stern faces. They were the commanders of the three infantry divisions participating in the battle.

These three probably didn't expect that just a meal would cause such a big commotion.

Something happened on the second floor because Zhao Lijun of the Military Control Commission led his men there. The personal guards guarding the stairwell had already reported it. The lieutenant general of the 70th Division of the 107th Army was planning to go to the second floor. After all, something happened in the 70th Army, and if he, the highest officer here, did not step forward, it would be difficult for him to give an explanation to his commander.

The only person present, the Lieutenant General Division Commander of the 67th Army, had a flickering look in his eyes and also showed signs of leaving. He did not want to stay away from this vortex, but to quickly return to his own troops.

Given his understanding of his army commander, he would certainly not stay out of the incident with the Sihang Regiment. Otherwise, the infantry division of the 67th Army, led by him, would not have moved towards the Purple Mountain on the night of the Tang Dao attack.

It was obvious that the 70th Army had broken the military rules, causing him to be furious. He was willing to break off relations with the 70th Army to see who was stronger.

Although no major mistake was made in the end because Commander Li personally sent a telegram to suppress the incident, everyone already knew that the 67th Army and the 67th Regiment were closely related. Now that such a big thing had happened to the th Regiment, the th Army's future direction had not yet been determined, but it was definitely unsafe to stay here.

However, as if he had known about it in advance, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff reached out his hand to stop the two people who wanted to leave the private room: "Commander Li asked me to tell you a message. What you see now may not be the final result. Wait a minute, maybe it won't be as bad as you think. The Four-Line Regiment will not do something that will make the enemy happy and the relatives sad because of some things, and the Military Commission will not trim its feathers just because the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment are slightly out of line due to excitement. Everything should be based on the overall situation!

Of course, if you insist on doing it your own way, then I will leave it to you."

Anyone who can be promoted to the position of lieutenant general, especially a general commanding an army of tens of thousands of people, who does not have sufficient life experience and wisdom?

When they heard this, they knew that there was a game behind the scenes that they were not aware of. The face of the theater commander was in front, and the guard company responsible for guarding outside the small building was behind.

The last sentence "act on one's own will" actually has a strong warning meaning. If things go wrong, the Army Lieutenant General will be nothing more than an insignificant victim in this unfathomable vortex of game.

The three smart guys naturally sat upright and chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, even though gunshots were heard outside the window.

In the end, they were all glad that they made the right choice.

The arrogant and domineering Military Control Commission had to leave in disgrace this time, carrying the corpse!

They really wanted to know how the little army lieutenant colonel downstairs did all this, or rather, how the Four-Line Group turned the tide. Even they would have no choice but to surrender in the face of the Military Control Commission, which held the power of supervision and had witnesses and evidence.

Looking at the calm and composed Lieutenant General Chief of Staff, the three Army Lieutenant Generals were wondering in their minds how much weight the theater commander had in this game. This judgment could affect their future stance in the theater.

Being able to make the Military Control Commission retreat proves that the former King of Guangxi Province is definitely capable of competing with that person in the political arena.

Little did they know that while they were racking their brains to speculate, the seemingly calm and composed Lieutenant General Chief of Staff standing in front of the window was also full of chaos in his mind.

He actually knew nothing about the game behind this matter. He only knew that Commander Li had told him carefully before assigning him to come: "Don't worry about the rest. Just suppress the three people at the table. The Four Lines Group may not be overturned in this matter."

In fact, when the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff heard the news that the Major General Commander of the 70rd Independent Brigade of the 33th Army was assassinated in the evening, he was certain that this could only have been done by the Four-Line Regiment.

  The reason is simple, the Military Control Commission has already set its sights on that brigadier general!

The Military Intelligence Bureau, currently the largest intelligence system in Asia, had a very keen sense of smell. After all-out efforts, they finally found a breakthrough in the colonel who had ordered his subordinates to conduct a long-distance training a week in advance.

The military police in the war zone are just asking questions, and as long as you persist and can provide a reasonable explanation for the training plan, no one can do anything to you. But the Military Control Commission will use severe punishment, and even if nothing has happened, they will make you recall the embarrassing incident of wetting the bed at the age of six.

The army colonel finally confessed. It was the major general commander of the 33rd Independent Brigade who mentioned it when he came to his regiment headquarters to chat. He promised him that as long as most of the infantry companies of the regiment went on long-distance training during that period, he would sponsor the regiment with 2 oceans as training funds.

Although this request was a bit strange, the colonel agreed because of his superior's face and the temptation of 2 oceans. Moreover, there would be no defense problems after two days of training in the war zone.

As a result, on the day when the whole regiment was organized for training, the unfortunate incident of Tang Dao being attacked when returning occurred.

The colonel commander was no fool, and he naturally knew that this matter was closely related to the Major General of the 33rd Independent Brigade.

But how could the colonel who had quietly accepted 2 yuan dare to expose this matter? God knows who is standing behind the major general brigade commander? Naturally, he could only insist that this was a training plan that the regiment had decided on several days ago.

There is actually nothing wrong with what he said. With his level, how could he know when the theater staff would hold a military meeting, and how could he know when Tang Dao would return?

But he underestimated the power of the Military Control Commission. The "Zhui Ming Tai Sui" who arrived at the war zone did not even take the administrative commissioner of the major general level seriously, let alone care about him, a small colonel regiment commander. After receiving the secret order from his superior, he directly sentenced him, the biggest breakthrough point, to severe punishment.

  Unless he knew the inside story and understood that if he told the truth, it would be a catastrophic matter that would lead to the destruction of his entire family, how could he possibly take the blame for the Brigadier General?

The Major General of the 33rd Independent Brigade fell into the eyes of the Military Control Commission, but at this time, in order to avoid the military's morale fluctuations and whether there were higher-level people involved behind the scenes, the Military Control Commission did not touch him for the time being, and wanted to wait for the right time to arrest and interrogate him. In the entire theater, only Commander Li and the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff knew about this matter, and that was also the explanation given to the theater.

The two also planned to inform Tang Dao after the Military Control Commission arrested the people, which was also the instruction given by the war zone to the Four-Line Regiment.

The owner of the largest grain store in Miaotan Town was killed. A brigadier general hurried to check the scene in person. Even a fool could tell that the owner of the grain store must have been involved in the attack that afternoon.

But no one expected that the brigadier general was killed directly, giving the Military Control Commission no chance to capture him.

Just tell me, apart from the Four Lines Group, who else would be so decisive?

They want to prove with blood that whoever dares to kill their people will be retaliated in the same way.

They don't need any arrest or trial, they just want the enemy's life!

  This is straightforward and refreshing, but it is a big taboo. If everyone does this, wouldn't it be a mess?

Even the one who is high and mighty, if he wants to get rid of those who oppose him, doesn't he have to fabricate charges and sentence them to death?

Of course, those shady assassinations are not uncommon, but there must be evidence for everything. You can't just put the blame on him for every assassination. At least the rules on the surface cannot be broken. That is the basic means for a regime to maintain its power.

By doing this, the Four Lines Group is undoubtedly pushing itself into the abyss.

  Apart from rebelling and seceding, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff really couldn't think of how they could escape this disaster!

But Commander Li, whose face was equally gloomy, said that the Four-Line Regiment might not be doomed, so he had no choice but to believe it.

Then, a magical scene appeared. The Four-Line Regiment really did not capsize. The arrogant and domineering "Life-Chasing Tai Sui" of the Military Control Commission just died after hitting his forehead and bleeding.

The 70th Army Guard Battalion, which he had transferred to the scene, remained motionless in several surrounding alleys until he left, as if they were under a spell.

In fact, the major battalion commander who had a gun pointed at the back of his head for several minutes was equally confused. The man in black was really punctual. He said five minutes and it was exactly five minutes.

  But before five minutes were up, with the gun still at his head, news came from the Military Control Commission: All personnel retreat outside the city and wait for orders!

"Look, how important it is to let the bullets fly for a while? Captain Zheng, your wise decision saved the lives of many of your brothers. Otherwise, in just these few minutes, you would have lost at least a hundred brothers." The man in black put down his gun with a smile, not caring at all about the dozens of rifles pointed at him.

"It doesn't matter how many people I lose. What matters is that no one can leave intact after threatening me like this." Turning around and looking at the overly young but extremely calm face in front of him, the army major frowned fiercely.

  This is not a threat, this is the truth!

The army major who had been on the battlefield and killed Japanese was not a merciful person, especially to an enemy who had pointed a gun at his head.

"You will, because your life is more valuable than mine, at least in your eyes." The young man smiled. "The people my regiment wants to kill can't escape even if they are heavily protected by thousands of troops. This is what my chief officer told me to tell you, the 70th Army. You can also tell this to your commander."

The major guard battalion commander was suddenly stunned!

Surrounded by dozens of guns, he admitted that he was a member of the Four-Line Regiment, and asked me to tell the military commander that they could kill anyone they wanted to kill. How arrogant and domineering was that?

The easiest way to crush arrogance is to kill him and make him understand that in the face of absolute strength, any arrogance is ridiculous.

But until the young man in black climbed over the high wall and disappeared into the night, the major guard battalion commander did not issue a military order to shoot the man in black.

Because he knew that the Four Elements Group really had the qualifications to be arrogant. They were strong enough and their courage was enough to cover the sky.

They just killed a brigadier general in the afternoon, and they were protected by a fully armed infantry company.

  It’s better to stay away from such a group of powerful lunatics!

But everyone in Hekou County was either frightened or suspicious, but none of them was as shocked as the Major General of the Army, known as the "President's Sword", who had been sitting on the sofa in the mountain city for a long time.

The reason was simply a "secret message" sent to him by the special operations team in Jiangxia City at around 8 o'clock in the evening.

The Japanese China Expeditionary Army Headquarters was established last year. Its commander, General Juzo Nishio, and chief of staff, Lieutenant General Shiro Itagaki, are both well-known figures in the Japanese military. Major General Moritake Tanabe, who served as deputy chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Army, is also no unknown figure.

This Japanese Army major general served as Chief of Staff of the Japanese Tenth Army in 37, and personally led his troops to attack Nanjing and participated in the infamous massacre. He was a very famous "tough guy" in the Japanese army.

Since he served as the Vice Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Army a few years ago, he has been regarded as a precursor to promotion in the Japanese military. It is very likely that he will be promoted to lieutenant general and then serve as the commander of a main division.

At the end of May, the Deputy Chief of Staff arrived in Jiangxia and personally took charge of the operations of the 11th Army and the 23rd Army in the two battlefields in central and southern China on behalf of the Expeditionary Army Headquarters. He can be said to be one of the most important figures in the Japanese army in central China.

It can be imagined that the security around such a person is very tight. The Military Control Commission, which has more than a dozen secret bases in Jiangxia City, never thought of assassinating such a high-level general. It is absolutely an impossible task and will only result in loss of manpower.

But even such a big shot received a death threat three days ago. Someone informed him in a letter that he would be killed on the 21st.

This seemed like a joke, at least that's what the Military Control Commission thought.

But the Japanese were very serious. Not only did they mobilize the military and police to search the entire city, they also deployed field troops to garrison outside the office area of ​​this person, with a force of no less than two infantry squadrons.

With three layers of protection inside and outside, let alone assassination, even if an infantry regiment attacks, it may not be able to take it down.

  But Tanabe Moritake is dead!

Killed by one shot!

This Japanese Army major general, who was protected by more than 500 people, was shot in the head just because he opened the window to get some fresh air due to suffocation. The guards present could confirm that the Deputy Chief of Staff of the China Expeditionary Army was dead without the need for a military doctor.

Because his head was like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer, with the "melon pulp" spilling all over half the room.

Although no one knows where the gunman fired the shots, based on the distance between the guards' fortifications and the room they were in, the gunman fired the shots at least 850 meters away from the room.

This is an incredible distance. Who can hit a target with a rifle from 800 meters away? And it’s an accurate headshot?

When receiving this secret report, the first reaction of "President's Sword" was that someone was playing an international joke on him.

But that was a message sent by the highest-level spy of the Military Control Commission in Jiangxia City, and at that time, it had been more than three hours since Tanabe Moritake was killed.

  The city-wide martial law in Jiangxia has almost indirectly proved the truth of this news!

Recalling the letter sent to the Japanese army three days ago, the thoughtful 'President's Sword' suddenly understood.

The letter was actually not addressed to the Japanese, but to him.

What it means is that no matter how tight the security is, it cannot prevent his bullets, unless that person always stays indoors without sunlight.

  Indeed, thinking of the stunning shot from 800 meters away, 'President's Sword' couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling!

No one can stay in a fortress without sunlight forever, so it is naturally impossible to defend against this shot forever.

  He can't, and neither can that person!

Tanabe Moritake's completely shattered head was just a small proof.
