Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

The telegram came from Masayoshi Ito, commander of the 101st Division, and briefly reported the attack on Hayato Yoshida at the Sihang Warehouse front.

Zhou Zhengqing stood up suddenly and slammed his fist on the desk, causing the stationery on the desk to jump up. "Yoshida was attacked? His life or death is unknown? In his own camp!!"

His roar was particularly terrifying in the silent night. The communications officer on duty took a step back involuntarily. He had never seen the commander lose his composure like this.

Zhou Zhengqing's face was full of anger, but his eyes were very clear, and there was even a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Immediately call Nakamura, Itai, Nakagawa and the others over! Immediately! Now!" He roared the order and quickly rehearsed his reaction in his mind.

Ever since he was attacked in Harbin last time, he discovered that no plan was more effective than the "self-torture plan"!

In less than fifteen minutes, Nakamura Shunsuke, Itai Yudai, Nakagawa Ken, even Jingren and Koto Saburo, who did not request to be notified, and Nanjō Yunko, all rushed to the headquarters one after another, without even having time to put their uniforms in order.

When they saw Takuto Takazaki's ashen face, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Takazaki-kun, what happened?" Jingren asked.

Zhou Zhengqing slammed the telegram on the table. "Yoshida was attacked on the front lines of the Sihang Warehouse and is seriously injured. His life or death is uncertain. The attackers were wearing imperial uniforms and attacked us right in the middle of our own troops!"

"What?!" Nakamura Shunsuke snatched the telegram and quickly glanced at it, his face instantly turning cold: "Yoshida...how could it be?"

Itai Yudai took the telegram, his hands trembling slightly. "Attacked among our own people? How is that possible?"

At this moment, Nanzō Yunko also hurried over. She had obviously learned something about the situation, and her face was as cold as ice.

Koteng Saburo interrupted, “General, this is clearly Matsui Iwane’s revenge. We forcibly transferred the 101st Division and made him lose face in front of the headquarters.

He didn't dare to attack you directly, so he targeted the Yoshida army that was carrying out the order."

Nakagawa Ken slammed the table so hard that the lamp shook. "That old bastard! I've disliked him for a long time! Commander, please give me the order to take my men to Shanghai. I promise to make Matsui pay for his actions!"

Itai Yudai was relatively calm, but his eyes were still burning with anger. "Nakagawa, don't always say you've always disliked me. Have you ever met Matsui Iwane? Calm down. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

"Take a long-term view? Yoshida's life or death is uncertain now! Those bastards attacked military police officers in the middle of our own army! This is a blatant provocation!" Ken Nakagawa was almost roaring.

Nanzō Yunko then added, "Although Nakagawa-kun is impulsive, his words are blunt and his logic is sound. This is indeed a naked provocation. Matsui is testing our bottom line to see how we will react."

All eyes were focused on Zhou Zhengqing, waiting for his decision.

"Mr. Yingqi, calm down. You can't go crazy at this time! I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!" Jingren looked at Zhou Zhengqing worriedly and persuaded him softly.

Zhou Zhengqing turned his head to look at Jingren and smiled slightly. . . .

Jingren's face turned pale... It's over...

. . . . . . . . . . .

In the early morning, before daybreak, the Sihang Warehouse was shrouded in an eerie silence.

The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood left over from days of fierce fighting solidified into a suffocating depression in the cold air.

Xie Jinyuan stood in the command post on the third floor, his hand holding the telescope for a long time without moving.

The Japanese positions in the distance were unusually active, the roar of tank engines was more frequent than usual, and the frequency of dispatch was significantly increased.

"Deputy Regimental Officer, something's wrong." Yang Ruifu lowered his voice, "The Japanese army sent in at least two battalions of reinforcements overnight. Look over there, the heavy artillery positions are advancing."

Xie Jinyuan frowned. "They want a general offensive. Send orders to all positions to prepare for the most violent attack. Today could be a day that decides life or death."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange red light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Not one or two, but dozens of shells streaked across the sky at the same time, rushing towards the warehouse with a shrill scream.

"Artillery fire! Everyone take cover!"

Unprecedentedly fierce artillery fire instantly engulfed the warehouse.

The concrete wall shook violently, and broken cement blocks fell like raindrops.

The newly reinforced part of the west wall on the ground floor was blown open again, and a scorching air wave carrying gunpowder smoke rushed into the room.

"Report casualties!"

"Machine gun position number three on the west side has been destroyed!"

"The ground floor medical station was hit by a bullet, and the wounded are being evacuated!"

Bad news came one after another. The Japanese artillery preparation lasted for more than ten minutes, which was longer and more intense than any previous time.

The moment the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese attack began, but this time the tactics shocked all the defenders. The Japanese army actually used a human wave charge without any regard for casualties!

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers came like a tide, with officers waving their swords and supervising the battle from behind, completely ignoring the firepower of the defenders.

The tanks protected the infantry and even continued to advance by crushing the fallen wounded.

"The Japs are crazy!" an old soldier exclaimed as he fired, "This is completely suicide!"

Xie Jinyuan immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong with the Japanese army, otherwise they would not have attacked so recklessly.

The situation was serious. Xie Jinyuan didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered: "All weapons open fire! Don't let them get close!"

All the firing points in the warehouse were firing at full force, and the barrel of the Maxim heavy machine gun soon became red hot and had to be replaced urgently.

The Japanese soldiers fell in large numbers, but the following troops continued to charge over the corpses of their comrades, as if there was no end in sight.

"Commander-in-Chief! The east wall has been breached!"

"A Japanese demolition team is approaching the west gate!"

"Reinforcements needed on the second floor!"

The situation is critical in many places on the front line.

Xie Jinyuan personally led the team to rush to the most dangerous gap on the east side, and fired fiercely with a submachine gun, forcing the invading Japanese troops to retreat.

But more Japanese troops continued to pour in, the defenders' ammunition was rapidly depleted, and casualties continued to increase.

"Fix your bayonets! Prepare for close combat!" Xie Jinyuan's voice was already hoarse: "Today is the day I will die for my country. I will make the devils pay the price!"

At this critical moment, a low and terrifying roar suddenly came from the sky, which was completely different from the sharp whistling of the army's artillery.

The sound seemed to come from the roar of a deep-sea monster, making everyone who heard it feel fear instinctively.
