Chapter 36
Prince Asaka's expression finally changed.
"Your Highness!"
Yamada Tsuji looked at Prince Asaka eagerly.
"Lead the way!"
Prince Asaka did not hesitate anymore. He just did not believe that he could not withstand the attack of the Chinese army, but the gunshots were clearly telling him that he really could not!
Therefore, he decided to retreat at this time.
But he wanted to retreat? Was it really possible?
Before he could leave the command hall, which was the main hall of the courtyard, a group of soldiers had already rushed in.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
The advisors were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did he come so suddenly?
They didn't even have time to pull out their guns. After a series of gunshots, all the staff officers fell to the ground.
A few soldiers quickly walked over and removed the weapons of Prince Asaka and Yamada Tsuji.
"Haha! A lieutenant general and a major general. Even the heavens want me to be rich."
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter could be heard.
Zhang Wenbin was wearing a military uniform and strode in with black military boots.
Looking at Prince Asaka and Yamada Tsuji who were being controlled, he couldn't help but laugh again.
"Let's go! Take them away. This time, I have a chance to leave the city. And he brought a big fish with him!"
Zhang Wenbin took a look at the chrysanthemum commanding knife he took from Prince Chao Xiang and knew that this person must be Prince Chao Xiang.
Because the chrysanthemum was the symbol of the Japanese royal family, ordinary people could not use the chrysanthemum command sword. Only the royal family could use it.
................
Zhang Wenbin broke in, but the battle outside was not over yet. Whether it was outside or inside the headquarters, there was a brigade of soldiers. Zhang Wenbin could not destroy more than a thousand Japanese in such a short twenty minutes.
When Zhang Wenbin came out with Prince Asaka and Yamada Tsuji, Takashi Takeshi's advance party had also arrived.
They were stunned when they saw Prince Asaka and Yamada Tsuji being captured by Zhang Wenbin.
If it was just Yamada Shoji or the regiment commander of a major general's regiment, they wouldn't have done this. At most, they would have asked Yamada Shoji to serve the empire!
But Prince Chaoxiang was a member of the royal family!
He was a Prince of the Imperial Family! Now that he was captured alive, the Japanese no longer dared to attack.
Any country that involved the royal family would have a different attitude.
Even John Bull, who was a constitutionalist, would be cautious when it came to the royal family.
Zhang Wenbin pulled Prince Chao Xiang, who was tied up, to his side. He took out a pistol and pointed it at his temple. Looking at the stunned soldiers outside, he laughed and said,"I know you have a translator. Listen carefully.
Your Prince Chaoxiang is in my hands. Make way for me. I'll shoot him!"
Prince Chao Xiang didn't understand what Zhang Wenbin was saying, and neither did he. However, he knew that Zhang Wenbin definitely did not say anything good.
Those Japanese soldiers did not know what Zhang Wenbin was talking about.
.....
"Your Excellency, what should we do?”
Matsushita Tomie, the 3rd division's general of staff, asked Taka Eagle.
They had just led their army over and saw such a scene. How could they not be anxious?
Takashi Yingsen didn't say anything, but his face was terrifyingly dark.
"Tell the troops to make way. Tell the soldiers of the Yamada detachment to make way. Don't hurt His Highness."
Takashi Takeshi did not dare to give the order to ignore Prince Asaka, nor did he have the guts to do so.
He was only the colonel's regiment commander. If he really gave the order, he would probably be killed.
He had to be careful when dealing with matters involving the royal family.
The Japanese made way for him, and Zhang Wenbin smiled.
Prince Chao Xiang immediately understood what was going on and shouted,"Bastard! Don't let them go! Destroy them!"
However, the Japanese soldiers did not move, and Ying Sen Xiao insisted on letting Zhang Wenbin leave.
"There's more! Order the devils at the back door to open up the road and let us leave!”
Zhang Wenbin said loudly again.
Takashi Eagle had no choice but to send a message to the Yamada Division at the back door. Now that Yamada Tsuji had been captured, the highest commander present would take over the command of the scene according to the Japanese army's rules.
...........................
"Nani? The prince was captured by the Chinese army? The Major General of the Yamada detachment, the regiment commander, Yamada Tsuji, was also captured? Are they retreating in the direction of Qixia Mountain?”
In the 9th division, when Yoshizumi Ryo heard this news, he almost fainted.
"The Chinese people used a diversion tactic. Who would have thought that they would actually find the headquarters and break through two lines of defense in such a short period of time?
By now, the 6th and 16th Regiments should already know about it.”
The 9th division's chief of staff, Inoue Naoto, said to Yoshizumi.
The meaning behind Inoue Naoto's words was very clear. This matter was not something that could be decided by the 9th division alone. They had to work together with the 6th division and the 16th division.
They had to work together to give the orders.
None of the major generals could bear the consequences of this.
This was the first hidden meaning. The second hidden meaning was to disregard Prince Chao Xiang's safety and eliminate Zhang Wenbin's Yu Yi group.
This regiment had brought them too much humiliation. They had seized the flag of the 35th regiment, captured Prince Chao Xiang alive, and fooled the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in the city.
If these things were to spread out, they would be completely humiliated!
Yoshizumi Ryo did not say anything. He just stood in front of the map and pondered. He was unwilling and did not want to bear the consequences. He was thinking about how to rescue Prince Asaka and eliminate the Yu Yi Group.
This was the only way to regain his honor. The 9th division was the most miserable, and so was he.
It didn't seem like much to bear the consequences with the other major generals, but the problem was that one of the 9th division's flags was still in the hands of the Yu 1st regiment.
"Withdraw the troops first! Following the Zhina Army, he also sent a message to the 6th division, 16th division, 18th division, 114th division, and Guoqi Division to invite the other major generals to discuss their next step.”
Inoue Naoto looked at Yoshizumi in disbelief.
Why did Inoue Naoto ask him to find the 6th and 16th Regiments?
This was because Major General Tanishou and Major General Nakajima were both boorish and impulsive people. If they were to find the two of them and provoke them with words, they would decide to give up Prince Asaka and eliminate the Yu One Group.
However, if the 18th and 114th Regiment Regiment Commanders were to be added, then it would be a different story.
Of these two divisions, one was a newly established regular division, while the other was a special division. Their influence in the army was not comparable to the other regular major generals. They would definitely not agree to give up Prince Asaka because they could not bear the responsibility, even if it was just a part of it.
