Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

After Daokou Rongjie sat down, Kitahara Qianye personally poured a cup of tea and brought it in front of him.

Daokou Rongjie quickly stretched out his hands to take it, no matter whether it was hot or not, he raised his neck like drinking wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup with a blank expression, from the tongue to the esophagus to the stomach, it was as if it was on fire.

The toes in the shoes frantically picked to relieve the pain caused by the tea.

"Well, everything is done?"

Kitahara Qianye picked up the teapot and refilled Daokou Rongjie with another cup of tea.

Daokou Rongjie was not in a hurry to drink this time, his mouth, his esophagus, his stomach, and his feet couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid there may be trouble this time."

Daokou Rongsuke lowered his head, took the opportunity to take a breath, and relieved the burning pain in his mouth.

Beiyuan Qianye was about to reach out to hold the teacup, but after hearing this, she withdrew her hand again.

He knew Daokou Rongjie, so if he said that, there must be trouble, and it was not a small trouble.

"The mutiny has not been brought under control?"

Kitahara Qianye picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit one and started smoking.

He is not addicted to smoking, but when he is in a bad mood, he likes to light a cigarette, because he thinks the lingering smoke can bring out his mood.

"It's not a mutiny, it's a mutiny!"

Doguchi Eisuke still lowered his head and said.

The drifting smoke inhaled into his nostrils, arousing his craving for cigarettes.

Even though he was Beiyuan Qianye's number one confidant, he didn't have the courage to take the initiative to reach out to the table for a cigarette.

The hand holding the cigarette stopped in the air, Kitahara Qianye narrowed his eyes, and threw the remaining half of the cigarette butt into the teacup: "Tell me in detail."

"When I arrived at Xing County last night with my people, there was news of an exchange of fire in the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade, and the roads outside have also been blocked..."

Eisuke Daoguchi recounted what happened last night, including that he ordered the gendarmerie to use heavy machine guns to reopen the roadblock and killed more than 1000 soldiers of the Fujiwara brigade.

There is no need for him to hide this from Beiyuan Qianye.

Because he knew that Beiyuan Qianye would not argue with him because of this matter.

The reason for revising the records is to deal with the investigation of the military department.

"There are only 4000 people left in the Fujiwara Brigade?"

Beiyuan Qianye's voice was a little out of control, and the hands on the table began to tremble slightly.

Although he had nearly 8 people under his command, more than 1 people disappeared in a blink of an eye, which still made him feel nervous while feeling distressed.

At this moment, he finally understood what trouble Rongjie Daoguchi was talking about.

"Yes, as far as I know, when those regiments withdrew from the battlefield privately, there were only more than [-] people left. Some of them were killed in the Xingxian mutiny. Now the total strength of the entire brigade is around four They are about a thousand, and they are basically ordinary soldiers, and the highest ranks are the two captains."

Daokou Rongjie secretly glanced at Kitahara Qianye, and answered truthfully.

"Even the commander is gone?"

Beiyuan Qianye raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling dizzy.

Without even the commander, wouldn't this army be abolished?

"Your Excellency, are you all right?"

Eisuke Daoguchi noticed the abnormality and hurriedly asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Beiyuan Qianye waved his hand and said with a long breath.

He felt that he was in a bad mood, so he picked up the cigarette case again, and this time he didn't forget to give Rongjie Daokou one.

The two were smoking cigarettes facing each other, looking at each other silently, and the room was filled with smoke.

"Mutiny, are you sure that what happened to the Fujiwara brigade this time will be classified as a mutiny?"

After smoking a cigarette, Beiyuan Qianye swallowed, and asked unwillingly.

He also wanted to be lucky, if he could, he didn't want to explain this to his superiors with a mutiny.

Mutiny, mutiny, the difference of one word, the nature of the difference is thousands of miles.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver in this matter. We received the news too late. If it was earlier, it might be possible to recover."

Daokou Rongjie naturally understood what his master was thinking, but he was also powerless now.

Beiyuan Qianye raised his eyebrows, and heard that there was another meaning in the words: "How do you think about this matter?"

Daokou Rongjie suddenly felt his mouth dry, he licked his lips, and picked up the cup of tea that was no longer hot on the table.

Chapter 650 IX Can Only See The Results

"Your Excellency, the incident of the Fujiwara Brigade may not be as simple as a mutiny."

After sorting out his thoughts, Eisuke Daoguchi expressed his opinion.

"It was Taro Eguchi, the staff officer of the Fujiwara Brigade, who reported the mutiny to you. But when I asked the soldiers who closed the roads under martial law at that time, they said that they conspired to seize power and launched the mutiny."

"You mean, one of them is lying?"

Beiyuan Qianye squinted his eyes and thought for a while, grasping the point.

"Yes, and I suspect that it is the troops who have been withdrawn from the front that are lying."

Eisuke Daoguchi nodded. Based on the situation at the scene and the confessions of the soldiers who surrendered, he also had his own understanding of the incident.

It stands to reason that those who are still alive are all troops under the banner of suppressing the mutiny. From the perspective of reducing the impact of the incident, everything they did was right.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Seeing Rongsuke Daokou gave contradictory opinions, Kitahara Qianye asked.

Only by knowing the truth of this matter can we know how to handle it properly.

"No, but this matter is not complicated. When I went to the Fujiwara brigade last time, I met Eguchi Taro. He was a very timid person. At best, such a person was trying to find a way to gain some benefits and launch a mutiny. He I dare not do it."

Eisuke Daoguchi said with certainty that with the way he sees people, he believes that he will never be wrong.

"That is to say, the original intention of the whole incident was probably just a mutiny. This Eguchi Taro was killed, which belonged to silence. Those who really launched the mutiny were precisely those troops who shouted to suppress the mutiny."

Kitahara Qianye believed in Eisuke Doguchi's judgment.

A timid person may occasionally act impulsively and do bold things.

But launching a mutiny is not something that you dare to do on the spur of the moment, because the impulse is only temporary, and the mutiny requires long-term plotting and planning, and the ability to instigate rebellion and lead the command. Cowardly people do not have these conditions .

"Maybe it wasn't a mutiny at first, that Eguchi Taro might have been intimidated and falsely reported the real situation to you."

Eisuke Doguchi continued.

"This..."

Beiyuan Qianye was a little confused for a while.

If the two sides are opposed, there should be a distinction between right and wrong. Since Daoguchi Rongsuke judged that the troops who had withdrawn from the front line were the ones who launched the mutiny, they were the ones who were wrong, and the staff officer represented the right side.

But now Daokou Rongjie has put a label on the staff officer for lying about the truth. Isn't it true that both parties are wrong?

"Your Excellency, on the surface, this matter is that those combat troops exchanged fire with the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade, and finally the combat troops defeated the headquarters. It can be understood as the combat troops launching a mutiny to capture the headquarters, or it can be understood as A mutiny was launched and was suppressed by combat troops, but this was the result, which cannot be explained to the military because some details were involved.”

Eisuke Daokou turned his head to look at the guard standing at the door, and said in a low voice.

"Go and inform the kitchen that today's lunch is cancelled, and close the door."

Beiyuan Qianye ordered to the guard outside the door.

The guard understood that this was about to discuss some important secret again, so he quickly closed the door from the outside, and drove away all the idlers and others in a very sensible way.

"go on."

After making sure that no one would overhear the conversation, Kitahara Qianye said with confidence.

"The gendarmerie interrogated some soldiers and learned that they arrived at the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade in Xing County yesterday morning, but it was already noon when Eguchi Taro called you to report. What happened in the middle hours? Fujiwara Kujo did It was missing. The front-line combat troops already had this rumor the afternoon before yesterday. Then the Eighth Route Army launched a counter-offensive, and then the four front-line regiments voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield. Why did this happen? Where did Fujiwara Kujo go? "

Daoguchi Rongsuke expressed all his doubts about this incident.

"You mean this matter is related to Fujiwara Kujo?"

Kitahara Qianye's two eyebrows were knit together.

If this is the case, then the problem is even more complicated, because the rank of the officers involved will directly determine the importance the military attaches to this matter.

If a squadron leader initiates a mutiny, the military department will at best just make a phone call to inquire about it symbolically.

But if a brigade commander initiates a mutiny, let alone the military headquarters, the front army headquarters will participate in the supervision and investigation.

"I analyze that it is impossible for him to plan and command, but this matter really cannot get rid of him, because everything happened after he disappeared. When he was still in Xing County, whether it was the frontline battlefield or the brigade Regiment headquarters, everything is normal, so figuring out the reason for his disappearance and finding his whereabouts are the key to solving this matter."

Eisuke Daoguchi boldly put forward his own guess. He believes that it doesn't matter whether it is the 4000-meter devil soldier who has been disarmed, or Yoshioka Takuma and the staff officer who have been killed.

The most critical person in the whole thing is precisely Fujiwara Kujo who has never appeared before.

"I'm trying to figure it out."

Kitahara Qianye stood up and walked around the house with her hands behind her back.

Although Rongjie Daokou's words were all his own guesses, after careful analysis, they were very reasonable.

Before Fujiwara Kujo disappeared, the campaign against the base of the Eighth Route Army had gone on for [-] full days. Although no major progress had been made, the battle between the two sides was still going on, and the winner had not yet been decided.

But as soon as he disappeared, the situation on the frontline immediately reversed. The defensive Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a counterattack, and the frontline position of the Fujiwara brigade was directly breached. In just a few hours, the Eighth Route Army advanced fifty kilometers.

After the temporary ceasefire between the two sides, the frontline troops of the Fujiwara Brigade voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield and rushed to Xing County to gather.

Attacked the headquarters, killed everyone in the headquarters, and then there was a mutiny within the army, and they began to kill each other.

These clues were all obtained by the gendarmerie through interrogation.

The problem is that only ordinary soldiers and low-level military officers can be interrogated. They only know the general history of the incident, but have no right to know the specific details.

The staff officer and Yoshioka Takuma who knew the details of the inside story are all dead. What others can see is only the result, but the truth is becoming more and more confusing.

"Fujiwara Kujo disappeared for no reason, resulting in no unified command and dispatch on the frontline battlefield. Facing the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, the frontline troops were unable to coordinate operations and were forced to flee after failing to support it. This declared the failure of this mopping up operation."
