Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chuncheng, the city trampled by the Japanese army, was under curfew in every street and alley. There were no pedestrians on the road except traitors and devils.

Because today is a very special day. Kujo Miyakita, the only son of the Kujo family, has been declared dead, and the whole city is hung with white cloth to mourn him.

The Japs' expressions were stiff and numb, like executioners.

In such an atmosphere, only those who think they have a long life would wander around the streets.

So every family stayed indoors, and even children dared not cry out loud.

At the same time, in the meeting room of the Japanese Army's Chuncheng Command, the atmosphere was as depressing as a materialized lead block, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

Commander Ito sat upright in the main seat, his face solemn, but his eyes could not hide a hint of hypocritical sadness.

On both sides of the long table in the conference room, Commander Ino and other high-ranking Japanese military officers sat in order. Their expressions varied, but most of them deliberately pretended to be heartbroken.

Commander Ito slowly stood up, placed his hands on the table, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice:
“Everyone, we gather here today to mourn our heroic Lieutenant Colonel Kujo Miyakita.

In the recent battle, he sacrificed his life for the Emperor and the glory of the Empire of Japan and died on the battlefield.

His spirit will be forever engraved in the hearts of each of us.”

As he spoke, Commander Ito lowered his head slightly, looking mournful.

However, a barely perceptible sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.

Because Kujo Miyakita was dead, it was good news for him.

First, Kujo Miyakita will not make trouble in Chuncheng anymore. Second, he is the only one left in the Kujo family. If he dies, the Kujo family will soon fall into decline.

Of course, this might be a bit troublesome, and the Kujo family will definitely not let it go.

However, the matter was done by the Hawks, and it had nothing to do with Ito. He gave all the resources that should have been given to Kujo Miyakoto to him, including the city defense force of Chuncheng, which was withdrawn to protect Kujo Miyakoto.

He has done his best. If the Kujo family still refuses to give in, then the Ito family will not give up.

At this moment, as soon as Commander Ito finished speaking, a low sob was heard in the conference room, and the officers took out white handkerchiefs and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of their eyes.

Commander Ino's body was trembling slightly, his hands were clenched tightly, and his nails almost dug into his palms. He choked and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Kujo Miyakita is our role model. His sacrifice makes us feel sad. We must avenge him and make those Chinese soldiers pay a heavy price!"

Other officers echoed the sentiment, and their voices echoed in the conference room, but they seemed so hollow and hypocritical.

Commander Ito raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

He sat back in his chair, glanced at everyone's faces, and then said slowly:

"The sacrifice of Lieutenant Colonel Kujo Miyakita has shown us the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army. However, this cannot stop us from moving forward. We must re-formulate the battle plan and intensify the attack on the Chinese army to let them know that the army of the Empire of Japan is invincible!"

At this moment, what Ito said was completely contrary to the facts. The reason was that he had discussed this with Commander Ino. This kind of internal contradiction could not be brought to the surface, and the death of Kujo Miyakita must be blamed on the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

Otherwise, firstly, it would be difficult to quell the anger of the Kujo family, and secondly, it would be impossible to explain to the entire imperial army.

Conflicts arose within the Imperial Army, leading to the death of Kujo Miyakita. If this were to spread widely within the army, it would have an irreversible impact on morale.

So at least in this meeting, Ito pinned the blame for the assassination of Kujo Miyakita on the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

Moreover, he and Ino also wrote the same report, which was sent directly to the military headquarters in the mainland. When the military received the report, it was also slightly shocked.

Because Kujo Miyakita was the only son of the Kujo family. He died on the battlefield, and it was unknown how angry Kujo Masao would be when he heard the bad news.

And sure enough, when Kujo Masao received the news that his son had died in battle, he was instantly engulfed by flames of rage.

His originally calm and otherworldly demeanor disappeared in an instant.

His expression was distorted to the point of being almost hideous, his eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, as if they were about to bulge out of his eye sockets.

The flames of anger burned in his eyes, as if to reduce everything in front of him to ashes.

He stood up suddenly and kicked over the low table in front of him. The tea set and documents on the table fell to the ground with a sharp breaking sound.

"Bagaya road!"

Kujo Masao roared angrily, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he wanted to condense all his anger into these two iron fists.

He paced back and forth in the room, the image of his son Kujo Miyakita constantly appearing in his mind. That young, energetic and high-spirited son had now left him forever.

"Gong Bei, my son!"

Kujo Masao cried out in grief, his voice filled with endless sorrow and anger.

He cried in his heart: "Gong Bei, you are the hope of the family! How can you die like this? How can I explain to the ancestors of the Jiujo family!"

Kujo Masao's tears could not stop flowing, leaving two deep tear marks on his old face.

He cried and cursed, cursing Ito, the old bastard, for not protecting his son, and Ino, the loser, for not being able to eliminate a small resistance group, but instead allowing it to grow stronger.

At this moment, Kujo Masao no longer had any of his previous mysteriousness, and he was simply like a madman.

He cried for a long time, one hour, two hours.
Finally, Kujo Masao was tired of crying, and leaned against the window, silently looking at the garden under the sunset.

Suddenly, at this moment, he calmed down a lot, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His son had already returned from the battlefield, so how could he be killed by the Anti-Japanese Brigade?

The report also said that the anti-Japanese brigade had ambushed on the road from Gongbei to Chuncheng.

Did the Anti-Japanese Brigade not suffer any casualties in the battle of Phoenix Mountain? They even had troops crossing the line of fire, and they did it without anyone noticing, ambushing Gongbei?

This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

He also specifically instructed Gong Bei to stay in Songyuan and not leave.

But the two old guys, Ito and Ino, insisted that Gong Bei go to Chuncheng to be questioned.

"It must be these two old guys who did it, it must be!"

Kujo Masao felt that he was close to the truth. He wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out the real murderer who killed his son! (End of this chapter)
