    Li Guoyao was in a panic. Taking Macheng would at most slow down the Japanese attack on the Huangpi front line, but it would not make the army give up its determination to attack Wuhan.

    But if the commander of the Japanese Second Army can be captured alive, then this matter will be over. You must know that the commander of the Second Army is no ordinary person. He is the most legendary political figure in modern Japan, King Higashino Miyazaki.  .

    This Japanese prince¡¯s life is quite legendary. He is the ninth son of Prince Kuganomiya Asahiko and the uncle of Emperor Showa.  He has been naughty since he was a child. When he was a university student in mainland China, he dared to refuse invitations to attend the banquet of Emperor Meiji, and even had a quarrel with Crown Prince Yoshihito, who later became Emperor Taisho. This can be seen from the title of his memoir "Naughty Loneliness"  It can be seen.

    The Higashikuru Nosuhiko family is also a family of royal generals. His uncle, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, served as chief of staff, his third brother, King Kunihiko, served as an army general, his fourth brother, Prince Shoumasa of Rimotogu, served as an army marshal, and Hatsuko Asaka  Jiuyan is also an army general.

    It is precisely because of his special background and perverse personality that the fledgling Higashikata Narihiko appears to be very different.  In order to pursue excitement, the 30-year-old Higashikaru Nohihiko went to France with the rank of Major to follow Asaka Kituhiko to study abroad. In name, he was studying abroad, but secretly he was looking for women. He was really a playboy.

    Higashikaru Nosuhiko stayed in France for seven years. Because he was greedy for the prosperity of Paris and other places, he was reluctant to return to his country. Only when Interior Minister Makino Nobuaki threatened to demote him to a ministerial status, he reluctantly returned to France in 1927.  Return to China in the year.  At this time, Azumi Minuhiko was just 40 years old.

    After returning to Japan, Higashikaru Minuhiko was caught up in the tense period between China and Japan. At this time, there was a large group of fanatics in the Japanese military headquarters who were keen to go to war with China, and Higashikaru Minuhiko became one of them.

    After the "September 18th Incident", Higashikaru Nohihiko wrote to the Director of Military Affairs of the Army Province, Kuniaki Oiso, and former Prime Minister Kiyoura Keigo, urging the Army to formulate a bolder plan to invade China to ensure the occupation of the four northeastern provinces of China, and at the same time, to  The cabinet showed signs of "weakness" and threatened to dissolve it.

    The fanatics within the military headquarters were greatly excited by Higashikata Minuhiko's attitude.  In the year after the "September 18th Incident", the leaders of the "Imperial Road Faction" such as the Deputy Chief of Staff Masaki Jinzaburo and the Third Chief of the General Staff Headquarters Toshishiro Obata argued that since the emperor could not solve the Manchuria issue according to his own wishes, then he might as well  Relying on the power of the royal family to exert influence on the cabinet, the best candidate is undoubtedly Higashikaru Minoruhiko.

    However, since Tokyuari Minuhiko was not interested in the "Imperial Way Sect", he politely declined their plan.

    After the all-out war of aggression against China began, Higashi Hisaru Nohihiko came to China, succeeded Hisao Nishio as the commander of the Second Army, and led the army to capture Xuzhou.  Subsequently, Dong Jiure Ningyan commanded 4 divisions and 1 brigade, with a total of 170,000 troops, and marched long distances to the vicinity of Shouchun and Zhengyangguan. Using the Huaihe River as a supply line, he broke through along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains and advanced toward Wuhan.  .

    Because the Third Division and the Tenth Division under his command broke through Hu Zongnan's defense line in Xinyang, Henan, the troops in the Fifth Theater were in danger of falling into a tight siege, forcing China to make the decision to abandon Wuhan.

    It was precisely because of his "excellent" performance on the Chinese battlefield that Higashikata Minuhiko was promoted to Army General in 1939. Soon after, he was transferred back to China as the Commander-in-Chief of Defense and Military Counselor, presiding over local defense work.

    Before the Pacific War, it was proposed that Higashikaru Minuhiko be the prime minister, but Interior Minister Kido Koichi opposed it on the grounds that once Japan went to war with Britain and the United States, Higashikaru Minuhiko, a member of the royal family, might be censured.

    However, four years later, when Japan faced a major turning point in its national destiny, Higashikaru Nosuhiko still assumed the post of prime minister without any shirk.

    It turned out that on the day the emperor issued the armistice edict, Prime Minister Suzuki Kantaro led the cabinet chief to resign. In order to clean up the mess after the end of the war, the 7 million Japanese soldiers who were superstitious about the victory of the "Imperial Kingdom" obediently put down their weapons.  Minoruhiko was elected Prime Minister by Kido Koichi and other important ministers.

    In order to protect the state headed by the emperor, complete the disarmament of the Japanese army and carry out surrender procedures, Higashikaru Nosuhiko appointed former Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro as the Minister of State, and his classmate Shimomura as the Minister of War, and recruited a large number of people from the political, financial and political circles.  Leading figures in the public opinion circles become officials, thus enhancing the influence of their cabinet and the execution of policies.

    In order to persuade the 7 million Japanese troops to disarm, Higashikata changed the previous slogan of "100 million pieces of jade" to "100 million total repentance" and assured the soldiers that the state system and the status of the emperor would remain unchanged, and that ordinary soldiers would not be held accountable for the war.  responsibility.

    It was after receiving these three guarantees that all 7 million Japanese troops were disarmed overnight, shocking the world.

    But in the subsequent "cooperation with the Allied Forces Headquarters in Japan""In ", Higashikaru Nohihiko repeatedly angered the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Japan and one of the "Emperor" of Japan because of his opposition to the issuance of military stamps, the abolition of the Thought Police, the dismissal of Internal Affairs Minister Yan Yamazaki who advocated maintaining press controls, and the release of political prisoners.  MacArthur said.

    MacArthur strictly ordered Higashikata Toshihiko to act in accordance with the orders of the general headquarters. His "arrogant" attitude made the latter feel even more humiliated.  In the end, Azumi Nohihiko, who could not bear the humiliation, resigned angrily on October 9 of the same year and only served as prime minister for 54 days.

    Since Japan established its cabinet after the Meiji Restoration, in the 132-year history, 62 people have served as prime ministers. On average, each person has a term of just over 2 years. Higashikaru Nosuhiko's term is the shortest, only sitting in his seat.  It took 54 days for the government to end, but the most "short-lived" Prime Minister Higashikata successfully disarmed 7 million Japanese troops during his term of office, shocking the world in one fell swoop.

    Both China and Japan attach great importance to such a legendary figure with a special identity. If he can be captured alive, he can definitely be used as a bargaining chip to force the Japanese government and base camp to give up attacking Wuhan.

    "At the worst, we can buy Wuhan a longer time."

    Even if Prince Dong Jiure cannot be captured alive, he can be killed as long as he is killed. This can damage the morale of the Japanese troops on the front line to the greatest extent and boost the morale and anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the Chinese army.

    In the blink of an eye, Li Guoyao decided to change the battle plan and changed the battle goal from capturing Macheng to capturing or killing the commander of the Second Army alive.

    Although there were a lot of things in my mind, it only took a few minutes.

    Seeing the shocked look on Li Guoyao's face, the Qingtian squadron leader thought he had shocked the inflexible guy in front of him. He stared at Li Guoyao and said coldly: "In view of your reckless behavior, I will  I reported it to Commander Yamada in person, so just wait to bear Commander Yamada¡¯s wrath!¡±

    Li Guoyao looked at the reckless thing in front of him coldly. He really didn't know why there was such a stupid guy in the world. Didn't he see that the weapons and equipment in the hands of these people behind the checkpoint were all ready to fire at any time?  Can't you hide the murderous look on the soldier's face?

    ¡°Well, you are stupid but you are powerful, and Li Guoyao is not in the mood to argue with a dead man!

    I saw him take out his pistol directly, and then pulled the trigger under the incredulous expression of Captain Qingtian!

    "boom"

    The gunshot rang out, and the Japanese transport squadron leader fell directly to the ground. His body twitched twice and then stopped moving!

    The sudden change shocked all the Japanese soldiers. They all looked at this scene with their mouths open, and they really couldn't understand why the commander on the opposite side suddenly opened fire.

    However, Li Guoyao had no intention of explaining to them. Almost at the same time as the gunshots were fired, the national troops ambushing on the hillsides on both sides of the checkpoint had already taken action.

    "Da da da"

    ¡°The strength of one battalion plus the powerful firepower of dozens of light and heavy machine guns instantly tore apart the more than a hundred panicked Japanese soldiers in front of them.

    This battle started suddenly and ended quickly. It only took three minutes from the shooting to the end.

    The result was astonishing. No one in the 61st Army suffered any casualties, but not one of the more than 100 Japanese troops was spared.

    After eliminating these Japanese soldiers, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to immediately throw all the wounded Japanese soldiers off the vehicle, and then eliminate them with one last blow.

    As for the two women in the car, Li Guoyao did not touch them, but in order to maintain confidentiality, Li Guoyao did not let them go, but continued to keep them in the car.

    Afterwards, after the troops threw all the corpses of the Japanese into the ravines and buried them, the whole army boarded the vehicles and headed north, heading straight for Macheng!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
