I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 429: Scheming and intrigue

Jinyang City.

The intelligence officers of the Little Japanese Special High School have always regarded radio stations as an important information collection channel.

Therefore, as soon as the radio station organized by our organization broadcast the results of the Independence Regiment, they immediately recorded the full text and reported it to the person in charge, Kenji Shita.

Shi Taikenji was shocked when he saw this information and rushed to the First Army Headquarters.

At this time, in the headquarters, the Chief of Staff of the First Army, Junyuki Hanatani, was like an ant on a hot pot.

The Eighth Brigade lost contact with them after they sent out the previous report that they had occupied Heyuan County. For more than a day, there was no news.

He ordered the telegraph operator to call the Eighth Brigade's radio station desperately, but there was always no response.

This situation immediately gave him a bad premonition.

But what's more, it's unbelievable. I thought to myself: Is Tubalu so powerful that he can defeat the 8th Brigade with thousands of people?

Although this brigade is a second-line guard force formed in northern Hebei, and most of its soldiers are supplementary troops and reserves, it is not like it can't even send a farewell telegram, right?

In desperation, he could only ask someone to send a report to the independent mixed fourth brigade that had just traveled a long distance from the front line in southern Shanxi to Shuiquan, asking them to send people to Heyuan County to check the situation after arriving in Shuiquan.

Naturally, he didn't know that Shizuki Kurata, who was currently in charge of the military affairs of the remnants of the 8th Brigade, was also confused. Didn't the commander of the Shuiyuan Brigade send a team to Shuiquan to call telegraph operators and radio stations?

Why haven't you come back for so long?

Could it be that those bastards are working as slaves on the road?

Everyone should commit suicide!

……

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, important information!"

Ishita Kenji came to Hanatani Junyuki's office out of breath.

Looking at this guy's expression, Hanatani Junichi knew it must be bad news. He quickly restrained his inner panic and asked in a deep voice:

"What information?"

"On Tubal Road, the battle report of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment was broadcast. They claimed that more than 6000 of our Locust Army warriors were wiped out in Heyuan County."

Shi Taikenji said carefully.

"Nani?

More than 6000 people?

How can this be?

lie!

It must be a lie!

Tubalu is falsely reporting military exploits!

Baghya Road! "

Hanatani Junyuki yelled angrily.

Although he knew that the useless military police unit with more than 3000 people in Heyuan County was finished, where did the losses of the other 3000 people come from?

Even counting the useless brigade led by Zhenmu Takeshi, there are only 4000 people!

"They also claimed that they had seized the flag of the 225th Regiment."

Kenji Ishita wanted to cry a little.

What kind of outrageous news is this, why do you want me to know? ? ?

As he spoke, he was worried that Hanaya Junyuki would draw a knife on him, so he stared at the opponent cautiously, ready to escape at any time.

As an intelligence officer, he was not one of those idiots in the military who stood up straight even when beaten to death.

Upon hearing this big bomb, Hanatani Junyuki was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and then a shocking anger rushed straight into Tianling Gai.

"Nani?

Union flag?

Takeshi Tsunaki, this bastard, he didn’t actually burn the alliance flag? ? ?

Baghya Road!

Stupid bastard!

He has tarnished the glory of my First Army! …”

He knew that the 225th Regiment's Wing Headquarters and the Second Battalion were annihilated together, but he did not expect that Takeshi Tsumugi was so stupid that he did not even burn the Regiment Flag.

If Takeshi Zhenmu heard his roar in hell, he would definitely lift up the coffin board and jump out to reply: I am more unjust than Dou E!

Do I really not want to burn it?

That Tubal Road didn’t even give me a chance to burn it!

Hanatani Junyuki scolded Takeshi Tsumugi for half an hour, which made his mouth dry and his mind and body exhausted.

He was about to arrange for a telegraph operator to send a report to Okamura Jining and resign, but he saw that Kenji Ishita hadn't left yet. He asked angrily:

"Shi Taijun, do you have any more bad news to tell me?"

Seeing the vague murderous look in the other person's eyes, Shi Taikenji quickly handed him the information in his hand:

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, General Yoshitaka Mizuhara's jade is shattered.

This is the detailed battle report broadcast by Tubal Road, please check it out.

I resigned from my humble position first. "

Then he turned around and left.

Hanagu Junyue was naturally horrified when she heard that Mizuhara Yishige had died.

Over the years, the number of generals in the Locust Army who have fallen into disgrace can only be counted on two hands, right?

Now another jade is broken? ?

He didn't care that Kenji Shitai ran faster than a rabbit. He grabbed the information handed to him by the other party, opened it and looked at it carefully. However, less than a minute later, he looked up to the sky and roared:

“Bagya Road!

Mizuhara Yishige, this idiot!

waste!

The brigade, which was reinforced with a tank squadron and a mountain artillery squadron, was actually unable to defeat a basic regiment on Tubal Road!

If the brigade commanders of our Locust Army are all such useless people, then when will our Locust Army achieve its great cause? "

If Mizuhara Yoshitaka had not been beaten to death, he would have immediately ordered this trash to commit suicide immediately and serve His Majesty Ten Locust.

……

After being incompetent and furious in his office for an hour, Hanatani Junyuki looked crestfallen and dejectedly called a telecommunications staff officer and ordered:

"Help me send a report to General Okamura. I, Hanagu Jun, am incompetent and unable to hold the position of Chief of Staff of the First Army. I request to be transferred to the reserve force!"

After hearing this order, the telecommunications staff officer's complexion suddenly changed, but he did not dare to say anything, and nodded in agreement with fear.

After arranging this matter, Hanaya Junyuki asked someone to prepare a car and drove to Jinyang City Army Hospital.

……

At this moment, in the Army Hospital, Shinozuka Kazuo and Yamamoto Kazuki were playing Go under the eaves. The sun was shining brightly and the two of them were very relaxed.

This is also the custom among the middle and senior officers in the Little Japanese Army, who always like to be arty.

In fact, they are all stinky chess pieces.

And now Shinozuka Kazuo is only accompanied by Yamamoto Kazuki, a loyal dog.

At this time, an orderly came over and reported:

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Tubal Road radio is broadcasting a battle report in a loop!"

Although Shinozuka Kazuo was hiding in the hospital for a while, he was still paying close attention to things outside. After hearing such a solemn report from the orderly, he immediately frowned and ordered:

"Bring the radio over here and turn it on!"

The orderly did as he was told, and soon, both Shinozuka Kazuo and Yamamoto Kazuki heard the content of the broadcast that shocked them.

After hearing such a huge defeat, Shinozuka Kazuo couldn't help but feel angry. He threw the chessboard away and cursed angrily:

"idiot!

These two idiots, Zhenmu Takeshi and Mizuhara Yoshitaka, ruined more than 3000 Locust Army warriors! "

Although the gendarmerie unit in Heyuan County has more than 3000 people, they are all prodigals and expatriates with little combat effectiveness, so he doesn't care.

But the 225 people from the 8th Infantry Brigade and the 2000th Brigade are all well-trained veterans!

He couldn't help but feel pain in his liver!

Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Majesty Commander, it's Li Yunlong's independent regiment again!

This person's tactical command ability is truly amazing!

To be able to fight such a victorious battle with the strength of one regiment! "Yes, this person has outstanding abilities and is really the target that our First Army should give priority to eradicating."

Because of this man, the situation of our locust army in northwest Shanxi is already very bad. "

Shinozuka Kazuo sighed.

Having served as the commander of the First Army for several years, the mountains and rivers of Shanxi had long been engraved in his mind. At this moment, when he thought about the situation in the Heyuan area, he felt that it was extremely difficult.

Although during this period of time, he took the initiative to give up his authority and let Junyuki Hanagani carry the thunder outside, he was always thinking about how to clear the Eighth Route Army in Jin.

Once Junyuki Hanatani, a tool man, is used up, he will perform the drama of the return of the king. At that time, the eight-way problem will be his headache.

But even though he had been thinking about it day and night for several months, he still couldn't come up with any good solution.

Mobilize the troops of several divisions to clear them out. The Eighth Route Army will burrow into the mountains and run away without a trace.

Send large-scale troops into the mountains separately, this independent group can eat up even one group!

Obviously he has given strict orders to block the material transportation channel on Tubal Road, but the opponent's weapons and equipment are getting stronger and stronger!

It’s simply outrageous!

"Your Excellency, Commander, the people from the Special High School obtained a photo of Li Yunlong from Heyuan County, and they are stepping up their deployment to find loopholes in this independent regiment.

Once found, the humble official will lead a special agent team to attack their regiment headquarters and bring back Li Yunlong's head!

Once Li Yunlong is eliminated, this independent group will definitely fall apart! "

Seeing that his benefactor's father was very worried, Yamamoto Kazuki quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Oh, Li Yunlong's photo?

Yoxi, bring it to me and see! "

Shinozuka Kazuo was very curious.

For Li Yunlong, a bastard who had caused him countless troubles, he really wished he could cut him into pieces immediately!

Yamamoto Kazuki quickly took out a black and white photo from his pocket and explained:

"The former Ichiro Hirata held a birthday party at Juxian Tower in Heyuan County. Li Yunlong sneaked in and launched an attack, killing most of the officers of the Provisional Military Police Regiment. However, he did not know that he had been photographed by our photographer. .”

"idiot!

It would be a shame for Ichiro Hirata to die!

Now that the battle situation of our Locust Army on the front line in southern Shanxi is so tense, he actually dares to hold a birthday party in the rear. How stupid! "

Shinozuka Kazuo scolded, reached for the photo, and then exclaimed:

"This Li Yunlong actually looks like a farmer, not like a mid-level general at all!

The employment of Tuba Road is really hard to figure out! "

"indeed so.

These bad guys are bold and cunning, brave and cautious!

They are obviously uneducated, but after studying their tactics, they found that they are very consistent with military theory and are indeed very difficult to deal with. "

Yamamoto Kazuki had to lower his proud head.

He felt hurt after being repeatedly defeated at the hands of the independent group.

……

While the two were talking, the guards outside came to report:

"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I would like to see you."

After hearing this, Shinozuka Kazuo immediately walked into the room, climbed onto the hospital bed and lay down, pretending to be half dead, and then arranged:

"Please come in, Mr. Hanaya."

After a while, Hanatani Junyuki came in and took the initiative to give in, asking Shinozuka Kazuo to be discharged from the hospital and take charge of the First Army's affairs.

Of course, Shinozuka Kazuo was unwilling. He said that he was not well yet and could not get out of bed, so he asked him to continue to be in charge of the First Army.

Hanatani Junyuki secretly thought that this old guy must have known about the defeat of the 8th Brigade and was unwilling to come out and take the blame for himself.

The two struggled to the limit, but in the end Hanaya Junyuki left in disappointment.

But after he walked out of the hospital, he couldn't help but mutter:

"Commander, do you think you can get away by pretending to be sick?

Humph, when General Okamura’s order comes, let’s see if you still pretend to be sick! "

However, he felt a little melancholy when he thought that his military career would be over if the telegram came that Okamura Jining agreed to transfer him to the reserve force.

A few months ago, I came to the First Army with great ambitions, ready to show off my ambitions, but I didn't expect that in just a few short months, I would be beaten by Tubal Road one after another, and I would have to leave in despair. It was simply outrageous!

He thought to himself: If Zhang Xiaoliuzi from Liaodong had the courage of any regiment commander or even battalion commander on Tubal Road, I am afraid he would not be able to achieve the achievements he made back then!

……

In Shinozuka Kazuo's ward, Yamamoto Kazuki saw Hanatani Junyuki leaving and couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Your Excellency Commander, why do you refuse?

Now the situation of our First Army is not optimistic. If you continue to let the Chief of Staff continue to toss, I am afraid that Jinyang City will face the threat of Tubal Road. "

"Hmph, I want to wait until Commander Okamura completely loses his patience with Hanagani-kun.

Only in this way will he give me enough reinforcements to allow me to deal with these hateful Tubal Road calmly! "

Shinozuka Kazuo had an expression on his face that held the pearls of wisdom in his hands.

"Isn't General Okamura still disappointed with the Chief of Staff?"

Yamamoto Kazuki was a little surprised.

Hanaya Junyuki has suffered a series of defeats recently and suffered heavy losses. His impression points in General Okamura's heart should have been lost long ago, right?

"not enough!

General Okamura should give Hanagani-kun a few more months. "

Shinozuka Kazuo said firmly.

"Your Majesty Commander, what if-"

Yamamoto Kazuki didn't say it out loud, but Shinozuka Kazuo understood what he meant.

He smiled slightly and said confidently:

“I already know Hanagu-kun’s ability.

Although he has some ability, he still can't turn the tide.

The fundamental problem of our First Army today is the lack of troops!

It can be said that when General Okamura decided to launch the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain first and then go back to deal with Tubal Road, this result has been predicted.

Wei Junru, the Chinese general in Zhongtiao Mountain, is not a man with nothing to lose. Once the war drags on for a long time, Tubal Road will not give Mr. Huagu a chance to buffer!

Those senior generals of Tubal Road do not lack strategic vision! "

"I see!"

Yamamoto Kazuki nodded quickly.

I thought to myself: Your Excellency, Commander, is so scheming!

……

As for Hanatani Junyuki, after he returned to the headquarters from the army hospital, he began to pack up the things in his office and prepare to leave.

When he spent two hours and had almost everything packed, he finally received a telegram from Okamura Jining.

But when he read the contents of the telegram, his eyes almost popped out.

In the telegram, Okamura Jining scolded him severely, but did not agree to his application to transfer to the reserve force.

Instead, he was strictly ordered to adopt a conservative plan before the end of the Zhongtiao Mountain battle, secure the city, and wait for the end of the war!

When the time comes, the Locust Army will free up its hands and will mobilize at least five divisions to sweep the Tubal Road in Jin.

Of course, in order to enhance his confidence in guarding the city, the other party also told him that he had ordered the garrison in Mengtun to send a cavalry regiment to support him, and they could arrive in half a month at most.

In addition, a report is being sent to the base camp, requesting the transfer of two divisions from the Liaodong Army. On the one hand, it can be used as backup for the Zhongtiao Mountain battle, and on the other hand, it is also prepared to help Hanatani Junyuki sweep the Tubal Road along the way.

However, these two divisions will definitely not be able to come in the short term, and they will not be in place until at least 2 months later.

Seeing General Okamura caring so much for him, Hanatani Junyuki was so moved that he almost shed tears.

He quickly asked someone to call General Okamura back and said that he would definitely live up to the commander's expectations!

However, after he calmed down, he also realized that General Okamura had not replaced him since he had caused such a big mistake, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Shinozuka Kazuo.

I couldn't help but sneered in my heart: Shinozuka-kun, since you are so willing to stay in the hospital, then just continue to stay!

As long as I achieve some success, I'm afraid the position of commander of the First Army will belong to me!
