Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

At ten o'clock in the morning, after another attack failed, the Japanese army retreated to rest.

Inside the tent, the Japanese officers stood dejectedly. The atmosphere was depressing and suffocating. Mutaguchi Renya's face was filled with fatigue and unwillingness.

"Gentlemen, today, we have suffered an unprecedented setback. This is our shame and the empire's sorrow.

With the determination to win, we attempted to cross the symbolic bridge with great force and expand the territory of the empire.

I saw the bravery of the soldiers as they charged, and as the guns and cannons roared, we seemed to crush everything that stood in our way. However, reality dealt us a heavy blow.

The Chinese people's resistance was more tenacious than we could imagine. They did not retreat at all in the hail of bullets. The fallen figures on the bridge were the blood of the imperial warriors, but they also reflected our carelessness.

Gentlemen, we underestimated the Chinese. How many soldiers fell in a pool of blood, how many lives were lost on that bridge.

I admit that we were defeated, and it was a tragic defeat." Mutaguchi Renya slowly recounted the failure of the attack in a deep voice.

But then his tone changed.

“But this is by no means the end, the empire’s journey will not stop because of a single defeat.

At this moment, we must remember this humiliation, strengthen our tactics, replenish our armaments, and the next time we fight, we must make Lugou Bridge the place where the imperial flag flies.

Wash away today's shame and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! I hope you will work together to regain your glory! Onboard! "

As soon as Mutaguchi Ren'ya finished speaking, all the officers present shouted in unison and cheered up. However, behind the shouts, it was difficult to hide the hidden worries about the brutal war in the future.

Clap clap clap.

A sound of applause was heard, and Itai Yudai stood up from his camp chair and walked over leisurely, followed closely by Kamiki Takuma.

Coming in front of everyone, Itai Yudai glanced at the map on the table with disdain and said, "A bunch of rubbish, from last night till now, almost a battalion of soldiers has been used up, and they haven't even taken a bridge.

Not to mention the Wanping City behind us." As he spoke, he glanced at the people present with his eyelids drooping, and then Itai Yudai said: "It is a pity that the elite soldiers of the empire are handed over to you good-for-nothings."

Hearing what Itai Yudai said, Mutaguchi Renya's face showed a hint of anger, but he didn't dare to say anything. He had indeed failed, and had failed in several attacks he organized.

If reinforcements hadn't arrived, he would have been too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

He didn't dare to speak, but Itai Yudai didn't intend to let him go. He walked up to him, lowered his head slightly, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at Mutaguchi Renya with a playful and crazy look on his face. At the same time, a ferocious look was also on his face.

"Hmph, I have finally learned the army's refueling tactics. It really opened my eyes!" Itai Yudai said lightly, took out a telegram from his pocket and pressed it directly on Mutaguchi Ren'ya's chest.

Then he looked around at everyone and said loudly: "According to the order of General Yingqi, the commander of the Royal Military Police in China, from now on, the military police will take over the task of the supervision team and supervise the offensive operations of the First Regiment of the Garrison Army against Wanping City!"

Mutaguchi Renya was shocked and quickly looked at the telegram. Then he said anxiously: "This is against the rules. We have not received any orders from the garrison headquarters!"

Ban Jing Yu turned around and slapped him in the face, saying viciously: "How dare you disobey General Yingqi's order? Or do you have no intention of winning at all, but are just stalling for time and waiting for the Chinese to react and send more reinforcements!"

Mutaguchi Renya quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I dare not disobey General Takazaki's order, but we are the army, and it is not appropriate to listen to General Takazaki. How about I ask the garrison headquarters first?"

“Haha, Colonel Muta, the military police have the responsibility to supervise the battle. I didn’t bring it up before just because I didn’t want to offend you, but I didn’t expect you to be so useless. So many soldiers died but you still couldn’t take the Marco Polo Bridge!

I don't want to waste time talking to you now. If you insist on disobeying General Takazaki's orders, I can only remove you from command on the spot on suspicion of treason.

I think Lieutenant Colonel Morita will be willing to accept the command and will carry out General Takazaki's orders, don't you think so, Lieutenant Colonel Morita?" Itai Yudai said, looking at Morita Toru who was stunned.

"No, you have no right to remove my command. Besides, you only have more than 200 people. What rights do you have to order me around?" Mutaguchi Ren'ya's face flushed and he said harshly.

Itai Yudai looked at Mutaguchi Renya sarcastically, clapped his hands, and then said: "I am a lieutenant of the military police. If I say you are a suspect, then you are a suspect! Besides, who told you that I only have 200 military police?"

Just as he finished speaking, several people walked into the tent.

The leader glanced at the stunned faces of the people in the tent, then quickly walked up to Itai Yudai and said, "Itai-kun."

Itai Yudai smiled and nodded, then looked at the people around him and said loudly: "Who is he? Everyone should know him, Taniguchi Mayu, the captain of the Taniguchi Battalion of the Military Police, I won't introduce him in detail.

This time, the gendarmerie will send a battalion of troops as a supervisory team to attack together with you.

The Empire no longer has time to play games with you and the Chinese. Notify the soldiers to start eating lunch. At one o'clock in the afternoon, organize all forces to join the battle. Fight a decisive battle, capture the Lugou Bridge, and flatten the Wanping City.

If we fail to take Wanping City, the Taniguchi Battalion will die at the foot of Wanping City along with all of you!"

Itai Yudai's words once again plunged the tent into silence.

A battalion of soldiers as a supervisory team? What a joke! Are you here to fight the Chinese or your own people?

Of course, they didn't dare to question it, because the supervision team would only kill those who escaped. If they questioned it, it would mean that they wanted to run away, and they couldn't say such things casually.

Mutaguchi Ren had not expected that the military police would be willing to send a battalion to fill the battlefield, and he had nothing to say at this time.

Although he thought the military police was crazy, he had to accompany him. If he dared to say a word of opposition or doubt, not to mention how his superiors would view him as a coward, even the soldiers outside who were brainwashed by militarism would immediately rebel.

Many soldiers believed that they could die for the emperor, and Mutaguchi Renya believed that they would be happy to hear Itai Yudai's proposal of a battle to the death.

Thinking of this, Mutaguchi Renya could only stand up and shout loudly: "Fight to the death! Get on board!"

The officers hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and shouted.

The sound spread out of the tent, causing many soldiers to shout along. Gradually, the entire Japanese side shouted "Aboard!", making the Chinese defenders on the opposite side think that the battle had started again, and they all tightened their weapons.

. . . . . .

After leaving the tent, Taniguchi Mayu approached Itai Yudai and whispered, "Itai-kun, everything is ready. Including the two you brought, a total of thirteen Type 92s are in place. There are also eight mortars ready and can fire at any time."

"Yo, very good." Itai Yudai said excitedly, and at the same time raised the telescope to observe the artillery position on the left, which was the artillery team of the 1st Regiment of the Garrison Army.
