Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

The Japanese pursued the Eighth Route Army based on false intelligence, but naturally came up empty-handed. Not only did they not see any trace of the Eighth Route Army, they were also constantly attacked by guerrillas near Anhua County along the way.

The casualties were not great, but it was extremely insulting to the spiritual level of the Japanese.

Because they were eager to pursue the non-existent main force of the Eighth Route Army, they just passed by quickly when attacked by the guerrillas without getting entangled.

This brought great benefits to the guerrillas, and their weapons were also updated.

The Japanese soldiers in Laiyuan County and Anhua County formed an encirclement, and it took two full days to search for the Eighth Route Army troops.

The outcome was already predetermined.

After two days of intensive rescue efforts, Ono's life was saved. The first thing he said when he woke up was to inquire about the major general's life or death.

Miyazaki did not hide anything and told Ono the details of the situation, and told him that except Ono, everyone in Manchunlou had died.

"Nani!?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Miyazaki was startled and shouted urgently: "Doctor! Doctor!"

Ono, who had finally woken up, rolled his eyes and fainted again after hearing Miyazaki's words.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Ono slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Miyazaki sleeping on the hospital bed, he vigorously shook the bed with his hands.

Sure enough, Miyazaki was shaken awake. He looked up and saw Ono with his eyes open. His heart finally settled down: "Ono-kun, you're awake."

He was more afraid of Ono's death than anyone else. As long as Ono was still alive, even if he was a disabled person, the major general's death could not be blamed on him.

The death of a major general has an impact that is neither small nor big.

Miyazaki's first thought was to collect the fragments of the major general, but after spending a whole day searching through the ruins of Manchun Building, he only collected less than three pounds.

When he arrived, the major general was neither tall nor short, and weighed at least 100 pounds.

Miyazaki was still hesitant about whether to tell what had happened in the past few days, but unexpectedly, Ono took the initiative to ask: "Have you found out... who did it?"

After much hesitation, Miyazaki decided to tell Ono, after all, he was the one in charge of the county.

The main reason is that he is worried that someone from higher up will come to hold him accountable, and Miyazaki doesn't want to take the blame for Ono.

He recounted the details of the two-day pursuit, and seeing Ono still open his eyes, Miyazaki added, "During the two days you were unconscious, the county lost 13 artillery towers and 5 strongholds, and 179 brave men perished. In addition, two companies of puppet troops mutinied, and supplies disappeared from two county warehouses."

Xiao Ye didn't care much about the things mentioned above. When he heard that two warehouses had been looted, his heart suddenly tightened and he had a bad premonition.

"Which... which two warehouses?"

Miyazaki thought for a moment and said, "One is a supply warehouse near the city gate, and the other is the Zheng family's warehouse, but I don't know what supplies are stored in it."

"Cough cough cough~!!!"

"Doctor! Doctor!"

…………

At the door of the ward, the attending doctor took off his mask and said to Miyazaki, "Don't provoke Ono-kun anymore, otherwise, I will be powerless to do anything."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Miyazaki decided not to reveal any bad news.

After thanking the doctor, Miyazaki walked into the ward again.

He didn't have to wait too long before Ono opened his eyes again.

The two looked at each other without saying anything.

Miyazaki was to avoid Ono dying without knowing what to say;

Ono had fallen into a coma twice, and it was a miracle that he could open his eyes. He didn't have the energy to ask questions.

If possible, Miyazaki would like to leave the ward now, but he does not have much ability in military affairs, so what to do next still needs Ono to arrange.

"Ono-kun, I have ordered Okamoto to investigate the Manchunlou incident. I will inform you as soon as I find out the results. However, we all suspect that the Eighth Route Army unit closest to the county town is the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Heiyun Village."

Miyazaki said, while paying attention to Ono's changes in condition, if he overreacted, he would stop immediately:

"I think this explosion has a lot to do with them. The last time we failed, we weren't fully prepared and underestimated them. The Manchunlou incident was their revenge, and the explosives incident is still under investigation."

After listening to this, Ono slowly closed his eyes. Just when Miyazaki was about to shout for help, he opened his eyes again. His eyes became bright, no longer as sick as before.

If his tone hadn't been so weak, Miyazaki would have thought that all of Ono's injuries had healed in that instant.

"There's no need to investigate further. If the headquarters asks, just say it was the Eighth Route Army from Black Cloud Village. We are planning a counterattack."

Ono spoke incoherently, giving people the feeling that he would die at any moment.

"We have an unshirkable responsibility for the Major General's death, but now that things have come to this, all we have to do is make the Eighth Route Army pay the price!"

Miyazaki really wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't dare to, so he could only ask how to make the Eighth Route Army pay the price.

Ono took a deep breath and continued in his weak voice, "Until I recover, the team must not take any action. The only way to retaliate is to ask Yamamoto-kun's special forces to take action."

Upon hearing this, Miyazaki's face darkened and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was very clear about Yamamoto Ikki's ambition, and Miyazaki was also dismissive of his special operations.

Now hearing that Ono actually wanted to ask the other party for help, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Miyazaki has a clear understanding of his military abilities. Even if he is not as good as Ono, he is not to the point of being incomparable.

Ono's words made him feel very humiliated. If Miyazaki didn't want the responsibility for the major general's death to fall on himself, he might not have given up his intention to kill Ono.

"Hi Yi!"

Miyazaki looked calm as he stood up and said, "Ono-kun, rest assured. I will do as you wish."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miyazaki-kun!"

At this moment, the two of them smiled at each other like old friends, but Ono didn't know what was hidden behind the smile.

the other side.

Okamoto, who was in charge of the intelligence department, was going crazy with anxiety. There had been no useful information for so many days. He knew very well what would happen to him once Ono recovered.

He wanted to attack Ono more than once, but he never had any chance.

I just received news that Ono has woken up!

Okamoto knew that he had absolutely no chance, and the most important thing right now was to find some useful information.

"idiot!"

"You bunch of losers!"

"big eater!"

"idiot!"

Perhaps he was tired of scolding, so Okamoto slammed the door and left angrily.

Finding Zhang Zizai on patrol, Okamoto bluntly stated his request: "Zhang-san, I need your help. This time, no matter what, you must help me find clues about the explosion. Otherwise, both your lives and mine will be in danger."

Are you threatening me, damn it?

Zhang Zizai cursed inwardly, but responded with a smile: "Mr. Okamoto, don't you understand me yet? I will definitely help you solve your problems!"

"Yoshi!"

Okamoto patted Zhang Zizai's shoulder with great satisfaction, and the panic and worry of the previous second disappeared: "Zhang-san, you've worked hard. Come on, I'll take you to have some fun!"

"Okamoto-kun, I'm going to choose Nanako this time!"

"Baga! She's mine!"
