Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

On this side, Mutaguchi Ren'ya was still hesitant and was a little hesitant about taking direct action.

Seeing this, Itai Yudai smiled and waved to Kamiki Takuma beside him, saying, "Bring the person over here."

"Hi Yi!"

Soon, a short Japanese soldier was brought in front of several people.

When he saw the person coming, Shimizu Seiro was stunned and his eyes flickered.

Itai Yudai stepped forward, helped the soldier straighten his collar, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The soldier glanced at Shimizu Seishiro who had a strange expression on his face, and then said loudly: "The new recruit of the 8th Squadron, Private Kikujiro Shimura." As he said that, he bowed.

"Yo, what a lively young man!" Itai Yudai praised him in the tone of a senior, not caring at all that the other man was almost the same age as him.

Without waiting for Shimura Kikujiro to say anything, Itai Yudai turned sideways, showed his arm, pointed at the armband on it and asked, "Do you recognize this?"

Shimura Kikujiro didn't understand, but nodded and said, "I know you. This is the military police armband. You are a lieutenant in the military police. I have heard about General Takazaki's deeds a long time ago and I admire the military police very much! I wanted to join the military police, but unfortunately I was not selected."

"Very good! Good to know. Then let me ask you, where did you go when your squadron was exercising just now?" Itai Yudai said with a smile.

Shimura Kikujiro's smile froze and he turned to look at Shimizu Setsuro.

"Look at what he is doing and answer my question! What were you doing!" Itai Yudai's face changed, his smiling look changed, and he scolded coldly.

"Smith Marseille, I... I... I have diarrhea!" As he said this, Kikujiro Shimura looked at Seiro Shimizu again.

"Have you filed a report? Tell me!" Itai Yudai asked, not giving Shimura Kikujiro and Shimizu Setsuro time to make eye contact.

"Ah! I...I didn't report it!"

"Baka!" Itai Yu yelled angrily and stepped forward to slap the man twice in the face.

"Hi!" Shimura Kikujiro swayed back and forth, but quickly stood up straight, lowered his head and shouted loudly.

"Because of you, you deserted during the exercise! We mobilized the army on a large scale, wasted the empire's resources to find you, and even went to war with the Chinese for you. You are a sinner!" Itai Yudai spit in Shimura Kikujiro's face.

Hearing the stern words from Itai Yudai, Shimura Kikujiro's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Itai Yudai reached out and pulled out a pistol, pointing it directly at the side of Shimura Kikujiro's head.

Shimizu Seishiro couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "Lieutenant Itai, this is a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with this soldier. I will explain it to you in detail in private later."

Of course, Itai Yudai knew what was going on, but he didn't care about it. He slapped Shimizu Seiro aside with his backhand.

"I want to give you two choices. One is to be shot directly for violating military discipline. The other is to take your rifle and be the first to attack the Chinese garrison. In this way, if you die in battle, it will be considered as a death in action!" Itai Yudai said coldly.

"No... I..." Shimura Kikujiro was almost crying and turned to look at the officers present.

But he was sad to find that Itai Yudai was pointing a gun at him, and except for Shimizu Seirō who was slapped, the others present looked at him with cold eyes, as if they were a dead person.

"Didn't you say you wanted to join the military police? I'll help you. As long as you lead the charge against the enemy, if you die in battle, you'll be given a pension as a military police officer. You should know how much money a military police officer can get if he dies in battle!

I am thinking about your family back home. Otherwise, if you desert during the exercise and are shot, it will only bring shame to your family!" Itai Yudai continued to press.

"I... I was following orders..." Shimura Kikujiro was terrified. He didn't want to die. He had just joined the army and was thinking about making military achievements.

"Shut up! What do you mean by orders?" When Shimizu Seirō saw Shimura Kikujiro was about to say something nonsense, he immediately glared at him with a vicious look.

"I..." Shimura Kikujiro was dumbfounded and tears came down.

But Itai Yudai would not pity him. He pointed his pistol forward and said, "Have you considered it carefully? Do you want to die now and bring shame to your family, or do you want to sacrifice yourself for the empire and bring honor and money to your family?"

The two choices given by Itai Yudai are actually just one, both of which involve death. No one would choose to die in shame and cowardice.

The same goes for Kikujiro Shimura.

For more than ten minutes, I watched Kikujiro Shimura, holding a rifle, rushing up to the Lugou Bridge shouting like a lone hero.

There was a crazy gleam in Itai Yudai's eyes.

Bang, bang, bang, after a series of gunshots, Kikujiro Shimura fell in front of the Chinese position.

This excuse used by the Japanese to start the war fell alone on the Marco Polo Bridge. . . .

Itai Yudai turned around and looked at Mutaguchi Renya: "Colonel Muta, the first shot has been fired. The Chinese have taken the lead in shooting and killing our soldiers. Shouldn't you avenge him?"

Mutaguchi Ren'ya looked at Itai Yudai with complicated eyes, his lips moved a few times, and finally he let out a helpless sigh.

Then he turned around and began to deploy his attack.

Half an hour later, at four in the morning, without waiting for the investigators from both sides to arrive, Mutaguchi Renya directly ordered the bombardment of the Chinese garrison positions across from the Marco Polo Bridge.

Of course, the only artillery that Mutaguchi Ren'ya could command were the few mortars he brought with him. The heavy firepower brought by the military police was not under his command, and he did not dare to ask for fire support.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the official attack began. The Japanese army began to attack in the direction of Lugou Bridge. At the same time, Mutaguchi Lianye also sent troops to attack the Pinghan Railway Bridge and the Huilong Temple position on the left side of the Chinese defenders.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The Yongding River flows gently, and the Lugou Bridge spans it. It was originally a landmark that carried the tranquility of the past, but it was reduced to a purgatory on earth on that sinful night.

The night was deep, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and only the flames of war on the Lugou Bridge flashed a dazzling light.

The Japanese army was approaching like a raging wave, and the densely packed troops were like a black tide, rapidly spreading towards the bridgehead.

They were dressed in khaki military uniforms, with twisted and ferocious faces beneath their helmets, and their eyes flashing with aggressive fanaticism and savagery.

Shimizu Seishiro personally commanded the soldiers to fight from behind, and his neat military uniform could not hide his inner cruelty.

He waved the slender command knife in his hand, drawing streaks of cold light in the air, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, today is the day for us to make achievements. Break through this line of defense and charge at full speed towards the Marco Polo Bridge!"

The roar penetrated the roar of guns and cannons, like a devil's curse, driving the soldiers towards the abyss of death.

With his order, the Japanese army went crazy in an instant.

The soldiers in the front row raised their rifles with bayonets on, the tips of their guns gleaming coldly in the dim light, and shouted incomprehensible slogans as they rushed towards the bridgehead like mad beasts.
