In Kaifeng City, the atmosphere was bleak.

Three steps, one post, five steps, one whistle.

There were Japanese soldiers standing solemnly holding Type 38 rifles everywhere.

In many areas, the Japanese army dispatched search teams, police dogs, and searched for anti-Japanese elements everywhere. Even the puppet troops in the city were chilling.

They have never seen Japanese people so nervous. They can't figure out the situation for a while.

Could it be that the national army is preparing to fight back on a large scale?

Isn't there a yellow area?

Could it be that the Tu Eighth Route in the north is heading south?

Isn’t there a natural danger to the Yellow River?

People are panic and their hearts are floating.

Countless people spend a minute and a second in suffering.

At four o'clock in the morning...

In the dispatch room of Kaifeng Railway Station, Yoshikawa Sasaki and Jono Taro glared at each other.

The two quarreled.

He even slapped the table.

Almost didn't take the knife.

There was a quarrel between the Army Red Deer and the Navy Red Deer. Both of them were angry.

It took an hour before the two of them gradually calmed down.

There is no way to solve the problem with a quarrel.

The two of them finally have to face reality and find ways to solve the current dilemma.

What dilemma?

He was attacked after leaving the city to sweep the country, with heavy casualties.

The railway line was blown up and the muskets could not leave the city.

All four city gates were attacked by unknown figures, with more than 200 casualties.

Overnight, Kaifeng City, which was originally peaceful, suddenly seemed to be boiling water. It was never so nervous. No one could tell who the enemy was or what to do.

All night, there was a mess of information, but there was nothing valuable.

Who was the attacker?

Not clear.

Is it the Eighth Route Army or the Military Control Commission? I don’t know.

The information reported by the inside line is hidden secretly in Hutou Village, and they are all Tujiao Route Army. But they don’t feel like it.

Where can Tujiao Road have such fierce firepower?

In one encounter, the Imperial Army lost more than fifty people! Can the Eighth Route Army do it?

No matter how you look at it, it feels like there are other anti-Japanese molecules that are doped into it.

God knows who is still hiding in Hutou Village.

"Juno, this is a scattered attack from the eighth routes. Their target is gold." Sadao Yoshikawa said.

"Yoshikawakun, I need to be responsible for the safety of Kaifeng City." Taro Jono did not agree with the other party's opinions very much.

Perhaps, half an hour ago, he would agree with the other party's judgment.

But now, he felt that the Tu Eighth Route Army had the possibility of attacking and opening the lockdown.

Why?

Because the other party has a mortar!

Or an 82mm mortar! This can be used to siege the city.

If the opponent's purpose is to snatch gold, there seems to be no reason to dispatch mortars. Therefore, the possibility of attacking and opening the seal is greater.

All attacks outside the city are to lure the tiger away from the mountain, to hit the east and the west, and to lead the snake out of the cave.

They all need to mobilize the defenders in the city.

Taro Jono would never be fooled.

Now he has only two infantry brigades left.

Because the brigade has always been unsatisfied, the total number of troops is less than 2,000.

If something happens to gold, he may not lose his head.

However, if Kaifeng was lost, his head would not be able to be saved.

He knew very well about the powerful relationship.

At this moment, only Kaifeng City is the safest.

"June Jono, you have to believe that the Chinese have absolutely no strength to attack Kaifeng." Yoshikawa Sadao had to explain patiently.

He was also very depressed!

He is personally responsible for the transportation of gold.

It was nothing to do, but he was just a clever one.

He tried to use gold to transport fishing, fishing out the people who had attacked the railway before, and then wiped out the people with his backhand. Why not do it?

On the railway line along the way, the 105th Division had already made strict combat deployments.

As long as the enemy appears, pounce on it immediately.

result……

The fish is really here.

But a crocodile.

He also unexpectedly rushed to Kaifeng!

This is troublesome.

He didn't expect the other party to appear in Kaifeng!

The information was leaked for only a few hours in advance, and he did not think the other party had the ability to appear in Kaifeng.

Who knows...

The other party just appeared.

He also surprised the Kaifeng defenders.

There is a reason why Taro Yoshino was unhappy. Yoshikawa Sadayuki's plan caused him a lot of losses.

Just tonight, the Independent Mixed 11 Brigade had already lost three or four hundred people. This is not a small number. Of course, it is fine if it is a giant like the 105th Division. However, if it is a 11th Brigade, it would be 10% of the troops. I just lost a brigade of Yanagawa Jiro, with more than 500 people, and now I have lost two or three hundred people. How can Taro Yono calm down?

If you continue to do this, the independent 11th Brigade will become an empty stylist.

Now all the troops from the rear are given priority to replenishing troops from North China. When will it be his turn to Taro Jono?

If there are not enough soldiers, how can we guard Kaifeng?

"We must export the gold fortune as soon as possible." Yoshikawa Sadao faced the topic.

"Your method is not good." Jono Taro was extremely depressed and did not give the other party, "It requires a more careful plan."

So what about the emperor's nephew? But Er.

Playing with bribery and winning over, differentiating and instigating against each other may be OK. If he really faces a battle, he will not be able to do it.

It was originally a secret gold transportation, but you just wanted to insert a fishing plan. It ended up messing up. I see how you explain to your superiors. If you mess it up again, the emperor will not be able to protect you!

This batch of gold is much more important than the emperor's nephew!

“It must be transported by rail.”

Yoshikawa Sasaki adheres to principles.

This is the safest way.

It's the only way. There is no other alternative.

The country is in great need of this wave of gold to extend his life. He has received a secret order from the top and must get off the luck as soon as possible.

In fact, tonight is already the deadline. If it cannot be transported tonight, the losses in all aspects will be very large. For example, the 105th Division's warning along the way and various careful deployments are all very consuming manpower, material and financial resources. However, the plan still failed. The gold is still in Kaifeng and cannot be transported away.

what does that mean?

It means it has to be lost again.

Moreover, losing again may not be able to complete the task.
