Chapter 408
5:30 pm.
Terauchi Isamu, who was waiting outside the Zhaodian Ancestral Hall, saw a convoy appearing not far away and realized that it was the division commander who had arrived.
So he immediately jogged to wait for Yamashita Fengwen to get off the car.
At this moment, Yamashita Tomoyuki was so excited that he could not express it in words.
After receiving the confirmation telegram from Terauchi Isamu, he reported the news and immediately rushed to Zhaodian with a large brigade, leaving the rest of the troops to arrive later.
Seeing Yamashita Tomoyuki get off the car, Terauchi Isamu immediately stepped forward.
"General!"
Terauchi Isamu stepped forward, stood at attention, held his head high and spoke to Yamashita Tomoyuki.
"How about a camp pot?"
Yamashita Tomoyuki was very happy.
"Where's the camp pot?"
Upon hearing Yamashita Tomoyuki's question, Terauchi Isamu immediately answered seriously.
"Right inside!"
After hearing the reply, Yamashita Fengwen could no longer conceal his excitement and immediately trotted towards the ancestral hall.
Along the way, the guarding soldiers kept saluting towards the mountain.
But at this time, Yamashita Tomoyuki was eager to see Zeng Jiwen captured alive by Terauchi Isamu.
Without even looking at the soldiers around him, he ran straight into the ancestral hall.
When Shanxia Fengwen entered the ancestral hall courtyard, he looked around but did not see Zeng Jiwen.
So he immediately ran into the ancestral hall.
At this time, looking at the tablet enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall and looking around, Yamashita Fengwen was suddenly very confused.
The signalman in the room stood up and saluted when he saw the division commander come in.
After looking around and not seeing anyone, Yamashita Fengwen went out and walked to the steps at the door.
He asked happily to Terauchi Isamu who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, a little breathless.
"Where's the pot? Where's the marching pot?"
When Terauchi Isamu heard the division commander's question, he immediately waved to the side.
"Come here~"
Hearing this, Yamashita Tomoyuki immediately smiled happily.
Then, I saw two short kids with bow legs staggering towards me at the corner of the yard, carrying a big pot.
When Yamashita Tomoyuki saw the two men carrying a pitch-black camp pot, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
At the same time, as the two little guys gradually approached them, Yamashita Tomoyuki opened his mouth wide.
Wait until the two kids put down their camp pots and stood aside.
There was an expression of disbelief on Yamashita Tomoyuki's face.
Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.
Then he opened his eyes and saw Terauchi Isamu standing below him with a serious expression on his face.
"This is the marching pot we captured from the 389th Division of the Eighth Route Army!
Identity confirmed!"
After hearing this, Yamashita Fengwen stared blankly at the marching pot on the ground for a moment.
The staff officers behind him shrugged and trembled constantly.
The chief of staff beside him also covered his mouth and turned his face away.
It can be seen that the people behind Yamashita Tomoyuki are having a hard time enduring.
"March Pot~
This is the marching pot you captured!"
Yamashita Tomoyuki muttered as he looked at the marching pot.
Terauchi Isamu, who was standing by, straightened his chest when he heard the division commander's words.
"Hi!"
In an instant, Yamashita Tomoyuki kicked the marching pot in front of him far away.
"Bagaya Deer!"
At the same time, he jumped on his right foot and cursed angrily at Terauchi Isamu.
"Seized a marching pot,
What do you have to report? "
Seeing the division commander's furious look, Terauchi Isamu who was standing beside him also felt something was wrong.
So he spoke carefully to the people down the mountain.
"You were the one who repeatedly asked me to confirm the report~"
Upon hearing this, Yamashita Tomoyuki was immediately furious.
He smashed the teacup that Terauchi Isamu had prepared in the yard.
"Bagaya Deer!"
Then he grabbed Terauchi Isamu's collar and cursed at him angrily.
“I thought you caught a marching pot!
Are you really going to just give me a pot?"
After saying that, he kicked Terauchi Isamu far away.
Terauchi Isamu, who was kicked to the ground, staggered to his feet when he heard Yamashita Tomoyuki's words.
He quickly explained.
"I have always reported the battle situation truthfully~"
Hearing this, Yamashita Tomoyuki suddenly felt unsatisfied and immediately stepped forward.
Then he kicked him to the ground.
At the same time, he kept cursing.
"Because of your stupidity, we will become a laughing stock of the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force."
As he spoke, he started punching and kicking the fallen Terauchi Isamu.
At this moment, all the officers standing on the side watching this scene couldn't help but turn their heads to the side.
After Yamashita Tomoyuki beat Terauchi Isamu for a while, he stopped panting.
Then, Yamashita Tomoyuki spoke angrily to Terauchi Isamu.
“From now on, you will be transferred from the 4th Division.
Your rank will be demoted from Colonel to Lieutenant, and you will be assigned to the security force to guard the locust army's stronghold."
After saying this, Yamashita Tomoyuki left the ancestral hall angrily with a group of officers.
At this time, Terauchi Isamu, who was lying on the ground, was a little dazed when he saw the division commander leaving.
He didn't think it through. He had clearly followed the division commander's instructions and reported the marching pot to the division commander.
At the same time, they gave up pursuing the Eighth Route Army and stayed here to protect this marching pot according to the orders of the division commander.
But why was the division commander so angry and beat him up?
Thinking of this, Terauchi Isamu felt resentful towards Yamashita Tomoyuki.
It is you who confirms the marching pot, and it is also you who protects the marching pot.
But now that they saw the pot, they started punching and kicking him.
Terauchi Isamu couldn't figure it out.
Why did the division commander treat him like that?
Through the gate of the ancestral hall, I saw the backs of the division commander and his entourage getting into the car.
At this moment, Terauchi Isamu couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart.
It was not easy for him to be promoted from a sergeant to the position of regiment commander step by step because he had no background and only relied on the relationship with a distant relative of the Terauchi family.
Now, he has been demoted to lieutenant by the division commander.
This makes it difficult for me to survive in the army in the future. I can't go back to Osaka and be a peddler.
I suddenly thought, it would be great if the division commander was killed by the Eighth Route Army at this time.
As soon as Terauchi Isamu had this thought, he immediately widened his eyes and looked outside the door.
Several artillery shells suddenly whizzed in and landed near the convoy outside the ancestral hall.
There was a huge explosion, and the division commander and his entourage were immediately engulfed in a sea of fire.
For a moment, the entire area around the ancestral hall began to become chaotic.
Terauchi Isamu lay on the ground, watching all this in amazement.
A thought flashed through my mind.
"Amaterasu has appeared~"
But then, an anxious look appeared on his face.
"Baga~
Hurry up, rescue the division commander and his entourage!"
The Japanese soldiers around who heard Terauchi Isamu's shouting suddenly came to their senses, saw the explosion outside the door, and immediately rushed out with their weapons.
However, before the Japanese army rushed out, they suddenly heard the whistling sound of artillery shells.
At this time, the sound of artillery shells exploding began to be heard continuously both in the ancestral hall and outside the door.
For a moment, the entire Japanese army fell into chaos.
