    The first person to determine the whereabouts of Prince Noshihiko was the intelligence personnel of the Japanese Army's Tekoko Branch. After learning that His Royal Highness the Prince's life or death was uncertain, the chief of staff of the headquarters, who was over 70 years old, personally issued an order to Tekoko to find out Prince Minuhiko at all costs.  The whereabouts of people, living or dying, or corpses.

    Then, the Japanese military's special high-tech department quickly took action!

    It happened that at this time, the good news from the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department was sent to the Military Commission, and soon the Special High-Tech Department learned the truth of the matter.

    After learning that Prince Minuhiko was not captured but was killed in the battle, both the emperor and other senior officials in the base camp breathed a sigh of relief.

    Although the prince's death in battle has a big impact on morale, it is much better than a prince being captured. If Prince Ninyan is captured, then the Japanese army really doesn't know what to do. If they continue to attack, they will kill Prince Ninyan.  To death.

    But if the attack stops here, the efforts of hundreds of thousands of troops for several months will be in vain.  What's more, the city of Wuhan is now in sight. If we work harder, we may be able to capture this important city. It is really a pity to give up the attack.

    The current result is undoubtedly the best for the Japanese army. Death is like a lamp going out, and the remaining operations depend on the living people.

    Soon, the base camp publicly announced the news that the commander of the Second Army, Prince Minuhiko, had died in Macheng. Then, under the auspices of the Emperor of Japan, a national mourning was held. The base camp also promptly promoted Prince Minuhiko to the rank of Army General, which was a moment of great mourning and honor.

    After the commotion, the Emperor personally gave an order to the troops on the front line in Wuhan. No matter which troops they encountered, as long as they encountered Li Guoyao's troops, they would be wiped out at all costs. Kill Li Guoyao's three-level troops, and the reward would be 500,000 yen.  .

    ??And in addition to Li Guoyao himself, all senior commanders including Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng, Zhang Tengjiao, Lu Dashan, Wen Debiao and others have clearly marked bounties, with the minimum being 5,000 yen.

    Someone who is interested deliberately calculated it and found that the bounty offered to all senior officers of the 61st Army by the Japanese Army Base Camp alone reached more than one million yen!

    Don't underestimate this million yen. The yen of this era is by no means as worthless as toilet paper in future generations. You must know that the current capital reserves of Japan are less than 1.3 billion yen. One million yen  Yuan is equivalent to one thousand three hundredth of Japan's national capital reserves, which is quite a huge sum of money.

    Put it this way, most housing prices in Tokyo, Japan, have remained at the level of more than 100,000 yuan in later generations. In the central area, they can even reach as much as 400,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 6 million yen per square meter when converted into Japanese yen.

    ¡°At present, a 156-square-meter house in Tokyo only costs 600 to 700 yen, and a house in a better location does not cost more than 1,000 yen. This shows how strong the purchasing power of one million yen is.

    The reason why such a high-level bounty can be issued is because the top brass of the Japanese army are really angry this time. It has been a year and a half since the war started in early July last year. The Japanese army can be said to be invincible!

    Although there may have been losses on local battlefields, the overall situation was overwhelming. In more than a year, they captured almost all coastal cities in China.

    One-third of the large cities in the inland areas are also occupied, which can be said to have achieved unimaginable results.

    "But I never thought that in the hands of one person, I would lose many soldiers and generals, and even two princes died in the battle. This was simply a slap in the face of the base camp and the royal family.  This is intolerable, and the Chinese people must be severely punished.

    The Japanese army wanted to severely punish Li Guoyao's troops. On the contrary, the senior officials of the Nationalist Government were overjoyed after receiving the news. After confirming the authenticity of the news, Chiang Kai-shek personally telegraphed the 61st Army to return to Wuhan immediately.

    At this time, Lao Jiang already knew that the 61st Army had less than 3,000 people left. Although he was very sorry that Li Guoyao's troops were disabled, he was more relieved.

    You must know that although the previous 61st Army was a corps-level combat unit, its total strength was a full 30,000 people, equivalent to a group army of the national army.

    ¡° Moreover, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops are well-equipped with well-equipped artillery and air defense troops, as well as other technical arms such as cavalry and engineers. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are no worse than the two national army groups.

    What's more important is that from top to bottom, except for some people he mixed with sand, there are basically no officers from the Central Military System. It is almost an uncontrolled force, which has always made old Jiang Po  For uneasiness.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? This unit was disabled, and before being disabled, this unit first destroyed the 11th Team of the Japanese Third Fleet, and alsoAnnihilated all its marines, recaptured Jiujiang City, and completely annihilated the Botian detachment.

    Later, the 61st Army cooperated with Xue Yue's troops to annihilate the 106th Division and severely damaged the 27th Division. Then they made a surprise attack on Lu'an and relieved the danger of Fujin Mountain. Now they unexpectedly conquered Macheng and destroyed the logistics base of the Japs.  , and took the headquarters of the Second Army of the Little Devils, and killed Prince Nen Yan, the commander of the general.

    In the view of Lao Jiang and others, Li Guoyao's troops were fighting the Japanese army in a lose-lose situation. This was exactly what Lao Jiang was most happy to see.

    Of course, the 61st Army is disabled, and Chiang Kai-shek still needs to maintain the attitude he should have, otherwise the hearts of the frontline soldiers will be chilled.

    That's why he ordered the 61st Army to go south to Wuhan at this time. Anyway, in the eyes of Lao Jiang and others, a remnant army of 3,000 people is really inconceivable to the Fifth Theater with hundreds of thousands of troops.  none.

    After receiving the order from the Military Commission, Li Guoyao did not hesitate, took a short rest for a night, and left Huang'an with his troops the next day, heading south lightly.

    That¡¯s right, just travel south lightly!  Because Li Guoyao sold all the weapons and equipment!

    In this battle, Li Guoyao and others seized a total of more than 20,000 long and short guns and five to six million rounds of ammunition from Huang'an City. In addition, there were also a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades and other equipment. All weapons and equipment added up to arm three  No problem for teachers.

    Originally, according to Li Guoyao's idea, all these weapons would be shipped to Wuhan, and then shipped to the rear together with the equipment and materials he seized from Jiujiang City in case of emergency needs.

    But just last night, Chief Li and Chief of Staff Xu personally hosted a banquet for him at the theater commander's headquarters. After the banquet, Chief Li invited Li Guoyao to his residence for tea and chat.

    It was said that they were just chatting over tea, but Li Guoyao knew that there must be something serious, so he did not refuse.

    Sure enough, during this period, Chief Li made a request to purchase weapons and equipment, and explained that many troops in the fifth theater are currently seriously lacking in weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons, which are extremely depleted.

    The government's production capacity cannot keep up, so the troops on the front line are fighting very hard. There are only more than 3,000 people left in Li Guoyao's department. It is useless to keep so many weapons and equipment. It is better to sell them.  To the Fifth War Zone.

    Li Guoyao did not refuse. Anyway, they now have a lot of weapons and equipment. Not to mention the battle captures, their 61st Army alone lost only 3,000 people from 30,000, and their spare equipment is enough to arm a division.  .

    Now they not only have a lot of equipment in Wuhan city, but also a large amount of equipment in Huanghua Village in Huang Dazi, so the equipment they have is completely redundant.

    Since Chief Li wanted to buy it, Li Guoyao agreed. This not only saved him the trouble of transporting the equipment, but also allowed him to sell Chief Li a favor, killing two birds with one stone.

    "However, friendship is friendship, and business is business. You can give favors, but you can't suffer a loss in terms of price.

    After some negotiations, a total of 23,000 long guns, 218 light and heavy machine guns, 18 mortars, 1.2 million rounds of ammunition, 3,000 rounds of artillery shells and hundreds of boxes of grenades were found, with a package price of 3.5 million.

    Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction. After the transaction was completed, all the weapons and equipment were left to Commander Li, but Li Guoyao kept the car. Then the entire army boarded the car and headed south to Wuhan at full speed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
