Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2811: Kujo Miyakita was attacked!

The news that Ichiro Koizumi was appointed adjutant spread quickly throughout the guard dormitory like a gust of wind.

The guards who usually stood guard with him and served Kujo Miyakita were now filled with envy.

They gathered around Ichiro Koizumi and asked him the secret of promotion.

Koizumi Ichiro straightened his back proudly, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a smile of a superior:

"It's easy. Just tell him whatever he wants to hear. As long as he is happy, promotion will be easy."

"Is this true? Would Lord Kujo promote someone so easily?"

A guard asked Ichiro Koizumi with a suspicious look on his face.

Koizumi Ichiro patted the other person's shoulder and said earnestly: "Of course, I have experienced it myself. As long as you make His Excellency Kujo happy, you will naturally get the benefits."

The other guards nodded their heads, their eyes showing eagerness to try. They began to think about how to please Kujo Miyakita, hoping that they could one day become as successful as Koizumi Ichiro.

So, from that moment on, a group of guards followed Ichiro Koizumi and became very attentive.

They vied to serve tea and water to Kujo Miyakita and to pack his luggage, as if Kujo Miyakita was a god in their hearts.

Kujo Miyakita looked at the fawning guards around him, and although he felt a little disdainful in his heart, he had to admit that he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.

He nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face: "Now that everything has been packed, let's set off! By the way, tell those who came back alive from the battlefield that they are all heroes. I will apply for commendations for them from the headquarters."

"Hi, thank you, Lord Kujo!"

The guards responded almost at the same time, each of them with genuine joy on their face.

Because of His Excellency Kujo's request for merit this time, everyone of them will get a share. And with His Excellency Kujo's generosity, at least every soldier can be promoted one level in rank.

As a result, these guards served Kujo Miyakita more diligently, and the soldiers who were transferred to protect Kujo Miyakita no longer had any complaints.

They blamed Kujo Miyakita before, but the main reason was that too many people died. In the battle of Phoenix Mountain, nearly three quarters of their colleagues died in Phoenix Mountain.

They were worried that if they continued to follow Kujo Miyakita, they would end up dead.

But at this time, they felt that it was not bad to follow Jiujo Gongbei. After all, it was difficult for them to get promoted with their status.

Many people may never have the opportunity to be promoted to non-commissioned officers in their lifetime.

But if everyone's military rank could be raised by one level, then many Japanese soldiers could be promoted to non-commissioned officers, and they could lead a team.

So at this moment, every Japanese soldier was very excited and wanted to escort Kujo Gongkita to Chuncheng immediately.

So Kujo Miyakita's convoy started moving quickly, with two infantry squadrons of Japanese soldiers riding in seven trucks, and three sidecar motorcycles leading the way.

···········

At the same time, between Chuncheng and Songyuan, deep in the woods on the side of Yueyun Mountain, a group of people in black clothes with black cloth covering their faces were lurking quietly here.

Their eyes were full of anger, and they were constantly scolding Kujo Miyakita in Japanese.

"Kujo Miyakita is such an idiot. He was defeated miserably in the battle of Phoenix Mountain and brought great shame to the empire!"

A burly man in black said this through gritted teeth, his voice full of anger.

"That's right. Because of his stupid command, so many of our brave Imperial Army soldiers died in vain, and so many families were torn apart!"

Another man in black echoed the words and slammed his fist heavily on the tree trunk beside him, causing the leaves to fall.

"An incompetent noble like him doesn't deserve to live in this world. He must die! Only his death can calm the grievances in the army and comfort the Japanese Imperial Army who died in the battle!" "Well! As soon as his convoy arrives, we will act together and make this criminal bleed to death on the spot!"

The leading man in black gave the order, and the others nodded, then each found their own sniper position and ambushed.

However, Kujo Miyakita was completely unaware of this.

He was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

But this tranquility did not last long. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, instantly breaking the silence in the forest.

The bullet drew a trajectory of two hundred meters, and with a thud, it pierced through the front windshield of Kujo Miyakita's car, almost brushing past Kujo Miyakita's right cheek and piercing through the rear windshield of the car.

Jiujo Gongbei was shocked, and immediately shouted, "Ambush and protect me!"

At this time, hearing the gunshots, all the Japanese had reacted.

Trucks stopped one after another, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of Kujo Miyakita's truck and formed a human wall.

But at this time, more bullets came, and the Japanese soldiers who used their bodies to block Kujo Gong Kita were shot one after another.

"Protect Lord Kujo!"

Seeing that the enemy was not only numerous but also had accurate shooting skills, Ichiro Koizumi immediately ordered the guards to get off the car and protect Kujo Palace Kita.

He also organized a team to fight back.

After all, the best defense is offense.

So the guards of Kujo Miyakita acted quickly. Some of them hid behind the cars, while others simply squatted on the mountain road and engaged in a fierce firefight with the enemies in the woods.

For a moment, the sounds of gunfire, shouting, and explosions were intertwined and continuous.

Jiujo Miyakita sat in the car, his face livid. He had never thought that he would be attacked in the occupied area.

What’s more, the other side actually has machine guns. I don’t know what the local garrison troops are doing.

Of course, he probably never dreamed that the person who attacked him was also Japanese.

Moreover, the battle was extremely brutal. Those who ambushed Jiujiao Gongbei were all elites from various units and loyal followers of the Hawks.

They had long been dissatisfied with the incompetent nobles and their timid behavior.

But the nobles held the real power, and they had no choice.

Moreover, they were currently engaged in a war, which meant they had no time to cause trouble for the nobles.

But unexpectedly, at this time, Kujo Miyakita suffered repeated defeats, which made the hawkish faction very dissatisfied.

So they carefully planned this ambush!

"Mr. Kujo, please retreat first! It's too dangerous here!"

Ichiro Koizumi opened the left rear door of the car and reported to the breathless Kujo Miyakita.

Kujo Miyakita said angrily: "Baka, isn't this an occupied area? How come there are still enemies?"

Koizumi Ichiro was also puzzled and said: "Sir, I don't know either. But we will investigate these later! Now, your safety is the most important. Get out of the car, I will send someone to take you back immediately, and I will block the enemy for you!"

As he said this, Ichiro Koizumi bowed deeply to Kujo Palace Kita, as if he was determined to devote himself to the cause!
