I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 916 You are freaking fainted, what should I do?
In the First Army Headquarters in Jinyang City.

After learning that the 20th Flying Squadron, a total of 31 aircraft, had set off to bomb the enemy causing trouble in Qubei County, Commander Kazuo Iwamatsu kept smiling, drinking tea, and waiting for the good news from Murata Takasaki.

Not long after, the telecommunications officer from the telecommunications room came running over in a hurry:

"Commander-in-Chief, telegram from the Chief of Staff!"

Hearing that the telegram was from Shinichi Yoshimoto and not Takasei Murata, Kazuo Iwamatsu didn't take it too seriously.

He also thought that Shinichi Yoshimoto had already arrived in Qubei County and took over the command of the 33rd Division.

Replied calmly:
"Oh, has Yoshimoto successfully entered Qubei County and is he ready to launch a counterattack against the Tubalu?"

The telecommunications officer replied bitterly:
"No, it's not."

Seeing his expression, Yansong Yixiong suddenly realized that something was wrong and asked quickly:
"What? Did Mr. Yoshimoto encounter an enemy blockade?"

"It was His Excellency the Chief of Staff who sent a farewell telegram!"

The operations officer did not dare to keep him in suspense and answered hurriedly and tremblingly.

Kazuo Iwamatsu's blood pressure instantly soared to 380, and he almost exploded and died.

He suddenly threw the teacup in his hand towards the other person.

With red eyes, he roared:

"Nani? Farewell???"
Bageya Road!!!

What on earth is going on???”

The operations staff could only honestly recount the contents of the farewell telegram sent by Shinichi Yoshimoto.

He heard that the enemy had ambushed his transport convoy of thousands of people with only a few hundred men.

He also used heavy artillery fire to destroy all 2000 special bombs that were being transported, causing his warriors to suffer the consequences of their own actions. Ultimately, the entire army was wiped out, and Kazuo Iwamatsu felt a black screen before his eyes, and he almost fainted.

He sat down on the stool, took a few deep breaths with lifeless eyes, and then roared:
“Yoshimoto-kun is also an idiot!
If he can’t win, won’t he just turn around? ? ? "

Of course, the operations staff couldn't accept this.

I could only stand there, trembling and pretending to be dead.

There were turbulent waves in Kazuo Iwamatsu's mind, and his thoughts were in a mess, but he didn't know what decision to make.

All I could do was give the following order:
"Hurry up, please invite the general here."

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer fled as if he had been pardoned.

……

After a while, Prince Asaka Sakehiko came striding over with a relaxed look on his face and asked:
"Yamatsu-kun, has the battle situation changed significantly in our favor?"

Iwamatsu Kazuo felt bitter in his mouth, shook his head, and narrated what had happened.

Prince Asaka Sakehiko was also furious and yelled:
"Damn it! Shinichi Yoshimoto, you idiot!
Has the experience gained from decades of fighting on the battlefield been wasted?
Why wasn’t battlefield reconnaissance done properly?

Isn’t the area north of Jinyang City flat?

How could he actually rush into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army?
Is he blind???"

……

However, before he could finish scolding, the telecommunications room received another telegram from Murata Takasei.

The 20th Flying Squadron lost more than 20 planes right under their noses, but failed to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, Prince Sakuhiko Asaka became so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

He felt that his lifelong reputation was about to be ruined by these idiots.

When Kazuo Iwamatsu saw this guy fainted, he was stunned.

I thought to myself: You are freaking dizzy, what should I do?
How should we fight this battle now?
Helpless, he could only ask the telegraph operator to send a message to Okamura Ji-ning, asking for tactical guidance.

He was not that stupid. He was very clear-headed. After losing the special bombs and the air force bombing, he was afraid that he would not be able to eliminate the enemies outside Qubei County with the limited troops he had.

It is even possible that Jinyang City cannot be defended!

……

In the capital, the Japanese North Hebei Front Army Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Tanabe Seigo received the telegram from Iwamatsu Kazuo and immediately rushed to find Okamura Jining. Hearing that the First Army was asking for help again and had lost a lieutenant general chief of staff, Okamura Jining was instantly paralyzed.

I feel like, as the commander of the front, I'm cleaning up the mess for these idiots every day.

I am so exhausted.

He could no longer pretend to be calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, and angrily cursed:
"These damn bastards! Trash!
Everyone should be loyal to His Majesty Tian Huang!"

Tanabe Seigo knew that he had scolded both Iwamatsu Kazuo and Asakanomiya Sakuhiko, and he couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

His Highness Prince Asaka is Tian Huang's uncle!
He is not an ordinary general!
He immediately pretended to be dead, fearing that the other party would implicate him.

……

After a long while, he saw that Okamura Ji Ning had calmed down, so he asked:
"Commander, the First Army is in a bad situation. Should we send reinforcements to support them?

As Yansongjun said in his previous telegram, if the Eighth Route Army took Xinkou and connected with the active Eighth Route Army in Yanbei and Wutai areas, the situation in Suiyuan and northern Hebei would change drastically.

It is even possible that they will take advantage of the flat terrain in Suiyuan and quickly move eastward to threaten the capital!"

"No! This is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army!
Although Suiyuan's geographical location is important, its population and grain output are too small, and its war potential is far less than that of the Hebei-Central region.

It is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to deploy a large number of troops.

We should still resolutely implement the strategy of clearing out the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

It is more important to clear up central Hebei!"

Although Okamura Ji Ning was angry, he did not get carried away.

Speaking of flat terrain, is central Hebei not flat?

Moreover, this area connects Jin and eastern Shandong, has a dense population, and is the real heartland!

Upon hearing this, Tanabe Shengwu could only nod:

"Then what you said, Commander, makes sense.

If the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei revives, all the resources we have invested before will be wasted.

It seems that now I can only make Yansong-kun suffer a little more."

"Humph! That's the price he pays for his incompetence!"

Okamura Jining roared.

Then he gave the order decisively:
“Tanabe-kun, call the First Army back immediately and order them to make full use of their existing forces and hold on.

Once the battle in Central Hebei is over, I will naturally send the 1st and 8th Divisions to advance westward with all their strength!"

"Hi!"

Tanabe Seigo bowed his head.

Then he prepared to leave for the telecommunications room.

He knew that the other party's meaning was very clear: until the war in Central Hebei was over, no soldier would go to support Jin!
At this time, Okamura Ji Ning, perhaps worried that Iwamatsu Kazuo could not maintain the situation of the First Army, spoke again:

“Didn’t Yansong-kun call earlier to request more special ammunition?

Immediately allocate 5000 of them from our inventory and send them to Jinyang City by transport plane.

Qubei County can be lost, Xinkou can be lost, but Jinyang City must not be lost! "

Hearing this order, Tanabe Shengwu hesitated and said quickly:
"Commander, your Excellency, in this case, our army's special ammunition inventory is obviously insufficient.

In case there is a need in other directions——"

“Don’t worry!
I will call Mei Jinjun of the Liaodong Army and ask him to allocate a batch to us."

Okamura Jining waved his hand, signaling him to be patient.

When he heard him mention the Liaodong Army, Tanabe Seigo didn't say anything.

For all the armies of the empire today, only the Liaodong Army has the most sufficient weapons and equipment, personnel, and supplies.

There’s nothing we can do. We’re all scared by the Russians!
The battle of Nomonhan gave Tianhuang and the base camp a great fright.

He immediately nodded and agreed:
"Hey! I understand!"
