Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Kujo Miyakita's father, Kujo Masao, was sitting in the study at this moment, his face as gloomy as water, and his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, making a dull sound.

Several important family officials were standing around, all with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.

"Everyone, Gong Bei's defeat this time has plunged the Jiujiao family into an unprecedented crisis."

Kujo Masao's voice was low, but there was no obvious displeasure in it.

Because Kujo Miyakita was his son, and he had been a bit of a dandy and only knew how to play, and that was what worried him the most.

Now, although he had made a mistake, he was fighting for the empire. Instead, he had some of the masculinity of a Kujo family man.

So although Kujo Masao felt the situation was difficult, he did not want to blame his son.

I looked around, but no one spoke.

Kujo Masao continued, "The mopping-up operation failed and the losses were heavy. This is not only a military failure, but also a trampling on the majesty of the Imperial Army and a blasphemy against the Emperor! We must give an explanation for this matter, otherwise we will not be able to face His Majesty the Emperor and those other nobles."

At this time, a retainer spoke cautiously: "Master, Master Gong Bei is young and hot-tempered, and perhaps he was just impulsive. But this matter is indeed serious. If it is not handled properly, it may affect the family's reputation. It will also be criticized by other families."

Kujo Masao pretended to be a great doctor and said, "Impulsive? He is not impulsive, he is stupid! My Kujo family has been loyal to the emperor for generations. How can we let the whole family be disgraced because of his selfish desires?"

Another retainer suggested, "Master, perhaps we can apologize to the Emperor and promise to let the young master study at the Army University in order to avenge the humiliation in the future."

Kujo Masao shook his head: "It is inevitable to plead guilty, but this is not the fundamental solution to the problem. Gong Bei must be responsible for his actions, otherwise, how can he explain to the Emperor and other families?"

At this time, an elderly retainer slowly spoke up: "Master, I think the most urgent thing is to stabilize Young Master Gong Bei first, and let him return home temporarily to avoid the limelight. And when Young Master Gong Bei comes back, we can also ask him how he was defeated. Is there someone targeting the Jiujo family and secretly making trouble? After all, Young Master Gong Bei is young, and it is possible that he was misled and framed!"

Kujo Masao's eyes lit up. Someone finally said what he wanted to hear most.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Miyamoto-kun, then I'll leave this matter to you. But you also know Gong Bei's temper. He may not be willing to return to the country easily."

Old Miyamoto was flattered: "Master, can I order him to return home in the name of the Kujo family? Of course, at the same time, we must also send people to protect Master Gongbei to ensure that he can return home safely."

Kujo Masao nodded heavily: "Okay, let's do as you say. But remember, this matter must be kept secret, and no one can know that Gong Bei is going back to China, otherwise, I'm really afraid that someone will harm him!"

"Hi!"

Everyone responded in unison, and Kujo Masao waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

The study room returned to silence once again, with only the heavy breathing of Kujo Masao echoing in the air.

He looked out the window and sighed in his heart: If only Miyata were still alive.

At this time, Kujo Masao was talking about the number one bodyguard around him - Miyata Kenju.

This man possesses a master-level kendo skill, and he protected Kujo Masao from countless pursuits.

It’s a pity that his death was inexplicable. Even Kujo Miyakita didn’t know how Miyata Kenju died.

He only said that Uncle Miyata wanted to take him back to his country, and he went to the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base alone, and then disappeared.

It was obvious, how could a good person disappear? He must be dead.

So when he thought of needing someone to protect Kujo Miyakita back to his homeland, the first person he thought of was Miyata Kenju. But Miyata Kenju was already dead, so he needed to consider someone else.

After thinking about it, he thought of a person. This person was the captain of the Shadow Wolf Squadron - Onizuka Youming.

Onizuka Youming was born into a declining samurai family. Although his family was famous for kendo, the tide of the times pushed him onto another path - joining the army.

He showed extraordinary physical fitness and immense strength since he was a child.

After going through layers of selection and joining the Japanese Second Division at that time, Onizuka Youming stood out in the army with his extraordinary courage and extraordinary strength, and quickly grew into a shining star of the Second Division.

Onizuka Youming has a great record of military achievements. On the battlefield against the Soviet Union, he single-handedly broke into the enemy's rear and destroyed a Soviet arsenal by himself.

Where are the ten tons of artillery shells stored? If the Soviet army takes advantage of this to launch an attack, the Japanese army will be in danger of being wiped out.

So in that battle, although Onizuka Youming was seriously injured.

But it laid the foundation for the Japanese army to win.

He was promoted from an unknown private to a major.

The following year, he was sent to Southeast Asia to obtain information about the British oil mines in Indonesia. As a result, the intelligence was leaked, and he and a Japanese engineer were hunted down by the British and local natives.

He single-handedly fought his way out of the encirclement with only a pistol and a machete, and brought the engineers and intelligence back to the country.

This piece of information was also the important reason why Japan extended its evil hands to Southeast Asia.

After Onizuka Youmei returned to his country, he was naturally commended again and promoted to a high position that ordinary civilians dreamed of - Colonel Onizuka.

Later, Japan and China learned Western military concepts together, and Onizuka Yumei went to Germany to study with the team.

But when he returned to China again, his whole temperament had changed.

He wrote a letter directly stating the importance of special operations, which caused a stir in China, which was not optimistic about special operations at the time.

However, the commander of the 2nd Division, Masao Maruyama, approved his request and formed a special operations battalion.

And this special operations brigade is the predecessor of the Shadow Wolf Force.

Onizuka Youmei took drastic measures and, together with people like Takeshita Shun who had already died in the battle, pioneered the Japanese special warfare.

They have been responsible for carrying out the most dangerous and difficult tasks.

They went deep behind enemy lines to carry out assassinations, sabotage, intelligence gathering, etc., paving the way for the Japanese invasion.

That is why, when Kujo Masao couldn't think of anyone who could protect his son, Onizuka Youmei came into his sight.

Moreover, Onitsuka Yumei was in the country at that time, and was said to be recruiting talents. He sent his retainers to invite Onitsuka Yumei and try to persuade him to help.

Onizuka Youming is not his retainer, and there are many nobles who are trying to recruit him.

Therefore, Kujo Masao was not absolutely sure that the other party would definitely buy into his account! (End of this chapter)
