Chapter 89, Matsumoto's Three Happiness (first order)

Major Matsumoto was still dizzy when he came out, he had lost all his strongholds, and he thought he would be scolded by the officer.

He was even mentally prepared to be slapped, just be gentle and don't turn him into a pig's head.

However... Hey, the officer was actually very kind and even praised him.

It is considered that his caution is very necessary, and it is the reason why he did not fall into the trap of the Eight Ways.

There is a sense of unexpected joy.

The bigger surprise was that he no longer had to guard the stronghold, and would be transferred to Yancheng County as the chief of the intelligence department.

Assist the new commander in maintaining law and order, and form a detective team mainly composed of Chinese people.

Inquire about the situation of the surrounding eight roads, and wait for an opportunity to retaliate back.

Major Matsumoto felt that the amount of information was too much, he had to think about it, and it was best to find someone to advise him.

In the army, Matsumoto used to have some friends and classmates, but since he was injured and decadent, he has no face to climb high.

Gradually, they became less and less contacted.

"By the way, look for Takashima-kun."

Lieutenant Takashima was also called over for questioning, and he was also asking about the course of that battle.

The person who asked the question seemed to be from the First Army Command.The background is almost no less than their brigade commander, His Excellency.

After some contact.

In the evening, a Japanese-style tavern.

A few plates of appetizers and a jug of sake.Major Matsumoto and Lieutenant Takashima sat opposite each other.

Shao Zuo was eager to talk, and as soon as they met, he narrated what happened in front of the brigade leader today like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Speaking of that unlucky Hasegawa guy, he was beaten and dispatched to Nanyang.

Shao Zuo Matsumoto looked gloating about his misfortune, so he thought he would take revenge under Hasegawa's hands.

Speaking of his new position, the head of the intelligence department, Major Matsumoto, was elated and proud of himself.

Get promoted, get rich, die wife, take up two of the three, and take up all of them as soon as you take office.

He is as proud as he wants to be.

Shao Zuo Matsumoto thought to himself: The Eighth Route Army's attack is not all a bad thing, so he was a blessing in disguise.

Lieutenant Takashima has been listening silently, echoing one or two from time to time.

After Major Matsumoto finished speaking, he said, "Mr. Matsumoto, congratulations. Your intelligence department spends most of its time in the city, so you don't need to go out to fight.

Unless the Eight Routes dared to attack the county... that would be impossible.You are very safe now. "

In the battle of Songhu, Major Matsumoto was seriously injured and almost failed to save him. He had already died once.

Since ancient times, the only difficulty is death.

The closer a person is to death, the more he fears death.

After getting drunk, Matsumoto said many times that he didn't want any future, he just wanted to move to a safe place and live a good life for a few years.

It now appears that it has been achieved.

Major Matsumoto raised his neck and drank the sake in one gulp, "Ha, yes, no matter how arrogant Tubalu is, he would not dare to attack the county seat.

In the days to come, I can sleep soundly. "

The Japanese army had a support system. When the artillery building was attacked, there would be strongholds to support it. Like the previous two days, soldiers and horses from the county would even be dispatched.

And if the county is attacked and the enemy is powerful, then several surrounding counties will send troops to support them.

What's more, the field wing will be sent out.

To attack a county, the Eighth Route Army, at the very least, must use ten times more troops than the county to stop the surrounding reinforcements.

If you can't take down the county seat, you will be surrounded by counterattacks.That would be more than worth the candle.

Neither of them thought that the Eighth Route Army would have such courage.

After two glasses of sake, Major Matsumoto talked about the establishment of a criminal investigation team, and Lieutenant Takashima gave him a lot of suggestions.

For example, recruit the local ruffians in the county and let these people act as thugs of the imperial army.

They have sharp eyes and ears and are often the first to know what is happening on the street.

There are those heinous people who bully men and women to buy and sell by force, and they have done many immoral things.

The Eighth Route couldn't tolerate them at all, so they could only follow the imperial army all the way to Hei.

For example, let these people gossip about the wealthy households in the city and identify their relatives as well-connected.

The imperial army came out to be a good person, to make money, not shabby.

The two have similar tastes, and they have a bad stomach, no wonder they can become bosom friends.

Major Matsumoto got a lot of inspiration, so he invited, "Takashima-kun, why don't you come to the detective team and join me. If we have two swords and cooperate with each other, we will definitely make a lot of money."

Making money is the main thing, and collecting eight-way intelligence is secondary.Matsumoto had already forgotten % of what the brigade leader said.

He had already died once and dedicated himself to the emperor, so he naturally had to think more about himself for the rest of the day.

Lieutenant Takashima did not answer his question immediately, but instead asked: "Matsumoto-kun, do you know who I met today?"

Matsumoto looked at Takashima opposite with drunken eyes, and his curiosity was aroused: "Is it the chief of the First Army?"

"Yes, it is Kazuki Yamamoto." Lieutenant Takashima replied.

Kazuki Yamamoto led a special forces team of about people under the honor of Dazuo, which was very prominent among the officers, and the officers below were naturally impressed.

Moreover, it is no secret that Yamamoto Osamu is very valued by the commander of the First Army, and he often stands by his side.

Major Matsumoto sat up straight and frowned tightly. Did the commander know what happened along the city?

Then what he did... Matsumoto glanced at Takashima, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

As if seeing the emotion in his eyes, Lieutenant Takashima shook his head and said: "In Chinese terms, the two of us are grasshoppers on a rope, and I won't be so stupid.

Mr. Yamamoto met not only me, but also many officers.Takashima-kun, you may also receive an order to meet tomorrow. "

Major Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief, since this is the case, it should have nothing to do with him.

"Then what did Mr. Yamamoto ask you?"

Lieutenant Takashima opened his mouth and spit out two words lightly:

"Eight roads."

"Eight ways?"

Major Yamamoto repeated it, as if he didn't expect His Excellency to come here to ask for information on the Eight Routes.

"To be precise, it's the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Not a short time has passed since the battle at Cangyun Ridge.

The propaganda of the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army in the second theater, and the Central Army all knew that the Bantian Regiment was defeated by the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Sakata United captains were all killed.

The Japanese intelligence system is not bad at all.Kazuki Yamamoto knew this information earlier than Chief Yan.

But the problem is that you know which unit of the Eighth Route Army did it, but it is difficult to find out where the Eighth Route Army is.

The Eighth Route Army is generally entrenched in mountainous areas, and the Japanese intelligence system is basically blank there.

After the failure of the battle of Shentouling, Kazuki Yamamoto caught clues in the intelligence and believed that the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was active in this area.

This time, General Yamamoto confirmed his judgment, so he came here from Taiyuan to ask questions.

"Oh I got it."

Major Matsumoto suddenly understood why there were successive failures.

The enemy turned out to be the Xinyi Regiment, which defeated Sakata United Captain head-on.

Even Captain Sakata died in his hands, so Captain Ishihara died at the hands of this person, so it is not wronged.

After sighing, Major Matsumoto continued his question: "So, what does this have to do with you?"

Lieutenant Takashima smiled wryly: "The Colonel seems to be planning a plan, and I was recruited to his command to obey orders."

That's bad enough news.

Major Matsumoto looked regretful, of course he didn't have the guts to compete with the chief.

I just don't know what the chief's plan is, will it be too dangerous?
I can find Takashima-kun, so there are not many friends who share the same interests.
