Songhu: Never Give Up

At the 14th Division Headquarters, Kenji Doihara had not yet realized the impending disaster and was eagerly awaiting news of victory from the front.

The guerrilla column was definitely trying to save the situation this time. He had even thought of a telegram to report the victory to the base camp. Yu Ren would definitely be happy after hearing it.

Outside the division headquarters, dozens of soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion who had infiltrated the division were staring at them like a pack of wild wolves.

Reconnaissance Battalion Commander Jiang Shaoying personally led the team to carry out the decapitation operation. Yue Qianli, who was always vindictive, gave Jiang Shaoying a death order, demanding that Doihara Kenji be found alive or dead.

The Battle of Lanfeng was caused by Kenji Doihara. Yue Qianli could not stop the disaster of the dike breach, but he could seek revenge on this old devil Kenji Doihara, just like he blew up Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko in Jinling City. He absolutely could not let the old devil return to the base camp to take up an important position peacefully.

Although Jiang Shaoying found the location of the Japanese division headquarters, it was heavily guarded and had many guards, so he was unable to take action.

Even though they all changed into the Japanese uniforms, it was impossible for them to sneak into the core area. The Japanese guarded important places like the division headquarters very strictly, and it was rare to be able to get a few hundred meters away.

Jiang Shaoying was patiently waiting for an opportunity, and several snipers had also made emergency preparations to deal with any unexpected situations. Now all that was left was for the main force to drive the defeated Japanese troops over.

As long as there is chaos, they will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters...

The old Japanese soldier Doihara was unaware of the crisis at all. He was studying the upcoming Battle of Wuhan with Major General Guan Yu while looking at the map.

Suddenly, from the west came the sound of thousands of people running. The vibration was very strong, and the sound of gunfire could be heard faintly.

The two old Japanese soldiers were so scared that they immediately rushed out of the field tent and found the herd of "wildbeests" by following the sound.

At first, Kenji Doihara didn't know what was going on, but he was a man of rich combat experience and knowledge.

He immediately raised his telescope to observe, but his nose became crooked with anger, his face became very ugly, and he cursed:
"Bakayalu, what kind of work is this?"

Major General Guan Yu said tremblingly:
"It seems that the warriors have been defeated... and are being hunted down by the Chinese... The defeated soldiers are heading towards the division headquarters!"

It must be said that those who can become generals in the first-class divisions are not useless. Major General Guan Yu guessed the general situation just by some appearances, and Kenji Doihara could naturally see it;

But he couldn't figure out why this happened. It was clearly the 27th Brigade that was hunting down the Chinese. This reversal came too quickly, and it was hard for him to accept it. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:
"Damn it! We've been tricked by Yue Qianli - they are pretending to be defeated and are trying to use the knife-dragging tactic!"

Just as the two old Japanese were dumbfounded, the wave of fleeing soldiers was getting closer and closer, and the division headquarters became chaotic. As a commander, he had to respond as soon as possible, otherwise a catastrophe would be waiting for him.

"Doihara-kun, there are tens of thousands of Chinese pursuing us. It is impossible to control the fleeing soldiers. Hurry up and lead the division to move in. I will lead the brigade to cover the rear!"

Doihara Kenji was not only the commander of the 14th Division, but also one of the most famous generals in the army. He must not fall into the hands of the Chinese, so Major General Tate's first reaction was to cover his escape.

The entire division headquarters would be too big to evacuate. Kenji Doihara, who was a former spy chief, naturally understood this, so he said to Major General Tateyu:

“Guan Yu-kun, the division and brigade headquarters are too large to be evacuated;

Moreover, there are too many military secrets within the two headquarters that must be destroyed, which takes a lot of time.

Immediately let the Chief of Staff lead the remaining warriors to stop the fleeing soldiers, and leave some people to destroy the confidential documents and radio stations. Those confidential personnel must also be killed, and the Chinese must not be allowed to be captured. "

Major General Guan Yu interrupted him and said:
"Doihara-kun, I understand all of this and will handle it. You should take a small guard team and leave immediately.
Go north and find Sakai-kun!"

Kenji Doihara cherished his life more than anyone else. After giving instructions, he led the core members of the division headquarters and turned north under the escort of a guard team. As soon as they escaped from the Japanese division headquarters, they were discovered by Jiang Shaoying and others who were staring at them. Jiang Shaoying judged that the one who escaped must be a senior official, so he ambushed the Japanese on the road they had to pass.

Ten minutes later, Doihara Kenji and his companions rushed into the pocket formation set up by Jiang Shaoying and his companions;

This time he brought a squadron of special forces, a total of more than 80 people, while the Japanese escort team had only more than 50 people. The two sides were completely not on the same level.

The reconnaissance squadron is equipped with a large number of submachine guns. Each squad also has two snipers. In addition to submachine guns, they are also equipped with a box gun, and their firepower is very strong.

They were also very well camouflaged, using the same inverted eight-shaped ambush formation. When they fired at the Japanese from the side and rear, the Japanese escort team had almost no reaction.

Each team had a clear division of labor, so they were very efficient in slaughtering the Japanese. Dozens of submachine guns fired at the Japanese guards, and in less than a minute, they all fell to the ground. The speed was so fast that even Kenji Doihara was overwhelmed.

When Sano Tadayoshi saw Jiang Shaoying and the others wearing the Japanese uniforms, he thought something had happened and quickly spoke out to stop them:

"Bakayaro, we are from the 14th Division, which division are you from?"

Jiang Shaoying said in fluent Japanese language:
"We are from the Central China Special Forces. We have been ordered to come here to protect Lieutenant General Doihara. Where is he working?"

After hearing this, Sano Tadayoshi was delighted and said:

"We are!"

Jiang Shaoying smiled, but Doihara Kenji cursed at Sano Tadayoshi:
"Bagayalu, are you a pig?"

As expected of a former spy, Doihara could tell right away that Jiang Shaoying and the others were fakes.

Jiang Shaoying asked curiously:

"Doihara-kun, how did you figure that out?"

Doihara Kenji sneered and said:
"I am the lieutenant general of the empire. The way you look at me is not only disrespectful, but also full of murderous intent.
I am the Kenji Doihara you are looking for. I have massacred at least thousands of Chinese people with my own hands. You can start now."

Jiang Shaoying's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If eyes could kill, Kenji Doihara would have died several times.
Soon he put away his murderous intent and said coldly to Kenji Doihara:
“You don’t need to provoke me. We have no intention of capturing you. We just let you live a little longer because Commander Yue wants to see you.
If you don’t want to live any longer, you can choose to commit suicide, and I will never stop you.”

"Bakayalu, how do you talk to our division commander?"

A senior staff officer cursed angrily and was about to draw his saber when Jiang Shaoying shot him dead with a shot. He then said coldly:
"Anyone who wants to die can come out and I will send you off together."

A staff officer was about to speak up when he was stopped by Kenji Doihara, who then said to Jiang Shaoying:
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I also want to meet Yue Qianli. Please lead the way!"

Jiang Shaoying glanced at the other devils and didn't say anything. Doihara Kenji chuckled and ordered everyone to lay down their weapons, except for the katana that symbolized the identity of a samurai.

Jiang Shaoying then made a gesture of invitation, which was considered to give the old devil enough face. Doihara Kenji strode in front without any tricks;
Because he could see that these grassroots officers were just waiting for him to show off his skills and then shoot them.

Kenji Doihara really wanted to meet Yue Qianli. At his level, he knew how to judge the situation and would never challenge the tolerance of the soldiers. It would be a waste of his life!
