Chapter 31: The Japanese Repeatedly Mention Dunwu Temple (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Inside the command post!
The Japanese soldiers of the Japanese Army Sixth Brigade shouted one after another: "Revenge!"
"Revenge... revenge..."
"Annihilate the Republic of China Army."
The Japanese soldiers were now like they had been injected with chicken blood.
Each and every one of them was shouting wildly.
The news that Fushimi-no-miya Prince's son had died in action at Dunwu Temple.
Was quickly reported up by Akiyama Yoshiyuki.
"The enemy used mortars to bomb the Seventh Regiment's artillery position."
"According to information sent by our mole."
Matsushita Island Maple lowered his head, "Your Excellency Commander!"
"Your Excellency Commander!"
He opened the folder in his hand.
"Decipher this telegram as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
"Sixth Brigade, you must take the Dunwu Temple Position by twelve noon tomorrow."
The Shanghai Expeditionary Army's telegrams were constantly sending messages to the Imperial General Headquarters.
As a captain, although Zhang Yunhao did not join the ranks of those deciphering the telegrams.
Matsui Iwane put on his clothes at the fastest speed.
"In these extraordinary times, everyone, please work a little harder."
Matsui Iwane forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "What is the matter?"
"Has the enemy that launched the night raid been caught?"
Matsui Iwane was knocked awake, his brows slightly furrowed.
In recent days, the Songhu Battlefield had fallen into a stalemate, and Matsui Iwane was already worried.
Numerous Japanese commanders were also waiting for the reprimand of Commander Matsui Iwane.
Zhao Zuo made a discovery and shouted excitedly: "Captain!"
"The battalion commander of the security force needs to commit seppuku to apologize!"
Japanese General Matsui Iwane was lying in his small room taking a nap.
"The Japanese are sending telegrams so frequently; something important must have happened."
"Yes!" Matsushita Island Maple nodded heavily: "It is true!"
Shanghai!
On the vast white sea, the Japanese Army Third Fleet gathered together.
"This army comes from Sichuan Province."
"But, according to the information above, I have concluded."
"Besides Dunwu Temple, there is also a surname... Fushimi-no-miya!"
Matsui Iwane, who had been lying down, sat up immediately after hearing that something had happened on the front line.
"A change has occurred on the front line."
He walked quickly to Zhao Zuo's side: "Has the information been intercepted?"
"Captain!"
"The artillery observation balloon and four Type 41 Mountain Guns were destroyed on the spot."
"Creak!"
The high-power transmission and the frequency immediately attracted the attention of the Shanghai Special Operations Unit.
Matsui Iwane's gaze was fixed straight on Matsushita Island Maple.
Matsushita Island Maple bowed and scraped: "Yes!"
"The Seventh Regiment's artillery position was bombed, and some shells were stockpiled at the artillery position."
"Yes..." After Matsushita Island Maple nodded, he turned and left.
Matsui Iwane also returned to the command post.
Matsui Iwane gave a death order directly to Akiyama Yoshiyuki.
"Tonight, the defenders of Dunwu Temple launched a night raid on the Sixth Brigade's position."
"Immediately capture the enemy position and cut off the enemy commander's head."
The sound of the door rang out, and Matsui Iwane said coldly: "What exactly happened on the front line?"
"Nani?!" Matsui Iwane widened his eyes: "Is the situation true?"
"His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Haoteng died under enemy artillery fire."
"Baka!"
On one of the warships.
Less than an hour after finishing a late-night snack.
He had not been able to sleep well for several consecutive days, and tonight he was sleeping soundly.
In the silent command post.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the command post also lowered their heads, respectfully welcoming the arrival of Matsui Iwane.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"The situation is extremely urgent!"
"Everyone, continue the decryption slowly; I am going to get some late-night snacks for everyone."
Zhao Zuo scratched his head, "I haven't fully decrypted the telegram yet."
Letting the elite Imperial Army annihilate the Sichuan Army units is already enough.
"Intercepted!" Zhao Zuo nodded, "It's just that it will take some time for us to decrypt it."
"His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Haoteng has unfortunately met his end."
However, he could still manage a small task like getting some late-night snacks for the team members.
"I have a small discovery here."
Suddenly, the members of the Special Service Corps were all energized.
"Baka..." Matsui Iwane's face turned livid, "What on earth is going on here?"
"His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Haoteng never liked the Navy and was very fond of the Army's artillery."
Zhang Yunhao saw that the team members were all very attentive, and his heart felt warm.
"What discovery? Speak quickly."
"Additionally, send a telegram order to Akiyama Yoshiyuki."
In a large mansion in Shanghai.
"The unit guarding the Dunwu Temple Position is the 20th Army!"
After hearing this, Matsui Iwane's gaze flashed with coldness, "Baka!"
Matsui Iwane frowned, "Sichuan Army!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhao immediately became energized.
Zhang Yunhao grinned, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Good lad, no matter what."
At the door, Matsui Iwane's Adjutant... Matsushita Island Maple.
"The enemy soldiers who launched the sneak attack easily returned to the Dunwu Temple Position."
"Due to the negligence of the Sixth Brigade's security unit, no patrol Outpost was established."
"Report to the Commander!"
"Killed in action on the spot!"
"Commander!" Matsushita Island Maple looked at Matsui Iwane cautiously.
Matsui Iwane naturally knew the status of the Sichuan Army within the Republic of China Army.
"Among them, the barracks near the artillery position were also half destroyed by the explosion."
"The Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters' radio station is frequently transmitting information to the Imperial General Headquarters."
This matter is truly too big; relying on him, a mere Brigade Commander.
"Several shells from the enemy's Mortar hit the location where the shells were stored!"
After all!
One of the telegraph operators discovered the anomaly and immediately reported it to the team leader.
"Decrypt it quickly!" Zhang Yunhao's eyes shone, "Everyone, hurry up."
They are simply a mob!
Such a unit actually killed the son of His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Prince!
"Order!"
"Personally open fire and bombard the enemy position."
The son of Fushimi-no-miya Prince died on the Songhu Battlefield.
The intelligence department of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters, Japanese Army officer Zhitian Er stepped forward.
"At night, His Highness specifically came to the Seventh Regiment's artillery position, preparing for tomorrow morning."
"The little devils repeatedly mentioned Dunwu Temple."
Hearing this news, Matsui Iwane was furious.
Inside the mansion, the members of the Special Service Corps nodded one after another.
Regarding the Sichuan Army, Matsui Iwane felt that one morning.
"Additionally, which unit is the garrison at the Dunwu Temple Position?"
"Even if we have to stay up all night, we must decrypt this telegram."
In Matsui Iwane's eyes, the Sichuan Army was just a local armed force with poor equipment and poor soldiers.
"Explain it to me in detail!"
"Team leader, we know what is important and what is not."
As a Japanese Army officer who understands Zhongtu culture.
"Let's eat and drink our fill so we can work well."
"The son of His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Prince has died on the front line!"
"This directly triggered a secondary explosion!"
Now that he had been woken up, he felt very unhappy inside.
"This is all for our nation, our country."
After hearing Matsui Iwane's displeased voice, he immediately said: "Commander."
He could not bear the corresponding responsibility at all and had to report it as soon as possible.
"The son of His Highness Fushimi-no-miya Prince has died in action; this news will be sent back to the country immediately."
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks on the door came.
Inside, there were radio stations of various sizes.
"We now have a direction as well."
He looked at everyone, "Immediately collect relevant battle reports regarding Dunwu Temple."
