Chapter 984 The Battle Order

The old ones are the best!

After judging the situation and overcoming the short-term depression, Matsui Iwane came to his senses.

When you are old, don't fight so hard anymore.

If you continue to fight, your fate may be very tragic!

In other words, not only will you not be able to leave your name in history and enjoy the worship of all the islanders forever, you can't even die normally!

After a lifetime in the army, with his powerful connections, Matsui Iwane smelled the breath of death.

It turned out that Matsui Iwane learned something.

In order to expel his competitor, Prince Asaka Naruhiko played a trick.

The trick was simple, that is, to manipulate yourself into having tuberculosis!

With his powerful connections and deep-rooted interpersonal relationships in the army, Matsui Iwane successfully avoided the assassination.

Of course, it is not quite correct to say that it was an assassination.

Yes, even if you have tuberculosis, as long as it is not a very scary kind, you will not necessarily die immediately.

However, once you have this incurable disease, it is difficult to live for a few more months.

In other words, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was using a blunt knife to cut the meat.

In fact, Matsui Iwane approved of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's approach and admired it very much.

Also, if he was killed suddenly, the information would be too much and it would be hard to be convincing.

Any adult with a normal mind would know that the sudden death of the supreme commander must have been framed by his competitors.

At that time, no matter how noble Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's status was, it would be difficult to quell the anger from the entire army.

Although he was lucky enough to catch the doctor sent by Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko and killed him without leaving any trace, Matsui Iwane suddenly realized it.

Matsui Iwane was sure that he could prevent assassination once, but he could never prevent it many times.

In order to better cherish the remaining ten or twenty years of his life, Matsui Iwane had to express his submission to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.

It was very simple. Matsui Iwane pretended to be sick and made a fuss about tuberculosis.

In the report to the headquarters, Matsui Iwane said that he could no longer lead the team because he suffered from tuberculosis.

Therefore, it suggested to the headquarters that they should find another candidate.

Most importantly, it also recommended one to the headquarters.

This person was none other than Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko!

On the other hand, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko was kind-hearted when he found that Matsui Iwane was so good at dealing with things.

In the private message to Matsui Iwane, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko begged the other party to stay and take up an idle position.

Of course, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko had a deep intention in doing so.

Family members know their own affairs best.

Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko knew that among the royal family members, there were only a handful of generals who could be shown off.

In other words, even if he was absolutely sure to lead the Central China Front Army to take Nanjing, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko was very worried about one thing.

It was very simple. Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko was worried that by then, the loss rate of his side would be very high.

On the other hand, Matsui Iwane, in addition to being an expert in siege warfare, is also very familiar with China.

With Matsui Iwane's help, the casualty rate will be greatly reduced when attacking Nanjing.

At that time, if this is not fame and fortune, what will it be?

Therefore, the idle position reserved by Prince Asaka Naruhiko for Matsui Iwane is not really what it is.

Prince Asaka Naruhiko means that Matsui Iwane can serve as an honorary consultant of the General Staff, responsible for guiding other staff from the overall situation.

And when the battle plan is made, Prince Asaka Naruhiko will take the credit for himself.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Although he knew Prince Asaka Naruhiko's little tricks very well, Matsui Iwane had to yield because of his noble status.

However, while yielding, Matsui Iwane did not want to let Prince Asaka Naruhiko have an easy time.

What Matsui Iwane did not expect was that when it had not thought of a good trick, Fujita Susumu gave it such a big gift.

So, this is the scene that made Fujita Susumu and Tanen Rikuma nervous.

What Fujita Susumu and Tanen Rikuma didn't know was that after learning about a series of accidents in the 3rd Division, Matsui Iwane was actually very excited.

Of course, on the surface, Matsui Iwane didn't dare to show his happiness.

It must be said that after learning that he would be occupied by Prince Asaka Naruhiko, Matsui Iwane started to make a big move.

In fact, as an expert in siege warfare and very familiar with China, Matsui Iwane is also very good at defense.

Yes, if you want to become an expert in siege warfare, it is a necessary skill to be familiar with the routine of defense.

However, realizing that there is no future, and in order to disgust Prince Asaka Naruhiko on the road, Matsui Iwane is not very concerned about the defense of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.

In fact, Matsui Iwane's play created an excellent time and space for Ye Tian to make trouble.

Otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, it would be very difficult for Ye Tian to make a big fuss in this army.

Even, to put it bluntly, even with a powerful weapon, that is, a super anti-war system, Ye Tian could easily fall into the encirclement of the devils and be forced to die for his country.

In this way, Matsui Iwane continued to be leisurely, while Fujita Susumu and Tadashi Rinpoche continued to be anxious.

Of course, in order not to give Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko an excuse, Matsui Iwane sent a telegram to Fujita Susumu while also sending a telegram to other divisions.

Even, Matsui Iwane contacted Yanagawa Heisuke of the 10th Army.

Matsui Iwane suggested that the divisions of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force should immediately launch a large-scale sweep.

Even if they had to dig three feet deep, they had to find Cang Yongchen to punish them!

On the other hand, Ye Tian set out on the journey again.

It was dark, and the night was deep. The various search teams of the devils were still searching all over the mountains and plains, but Ye Tian chose to take action again.

Of course, when he took action again, Ye Tian changed his routine.

In other words, he did not take action himself.

He did not even send out the dead soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

This time, Ye Tian actually sent out the Beast Corps.

In fact, he had already carried out this operation when he secretly evacuated the battlefield in broad daylight.

While evacuating, Ye Tian released the beasts.

And the beasts were carrying a large amount of explosives on their backs.

And the explosive packs were connected to time bombs.

Even in the following with good light, Ye Tian was full of confidence that the beasts could hide perfectly.

Yes, although the Third Division was fully deployed, it was not possible to search without blind spots, so the beasts could easily find the best hiding places.

What made Ye Tian happy was that he did not get the information that the beasts were discovered by the devils while lurking in the distance.

In fact, when releasing these beasts, Ye Tian also made special arrangements using the beast control tactics.

In other words, these explosive packs were not only connected to time bombs, but also arranged trigger devices.

Once a beast was unfortunately discovered by the devils, the beast must detonate the explosive pack!

Once this happens, other beasts must follow suit.

Looking up at the sky, counting with fingers, feeling that it was almost time, Ye Tian smiled and sent a notice.

It must be said that this notice was not issued by Ye Tian himself.

The one who issued this notice was actually a wolf king.

As we all know, compared with other beast roars, the penetrating power of wolf howls is extremely strong.

In the dead of night, wolf howls can easily reach dozens of kilometers away.

The wolf howls were loud and contained a lot of information.

Through these wolf howls, Ye Tian issued a battle order to the lurking beasts.
