In Mukden, in the headquarters of the Japanese military police in the Grand Marshal's Office, all the officers dressed in the uniforms of the Kwantung Army and the Security Army sat upright on their chairs and gathered around the wide conference table, waiting for the commander of the sweep, Jiro Tamon.

In this sweep, the 16th Wing of the Second Division has been gathered so far, three wings of the 18th Brigade and three wings of the 38th Brigade and Regiment of the Independent Mixed Brigade, in addition to the Zang Xuecheng Department of the Public Security Army, the Ma Xueli Department, the Tang Tianhao Department, and the newly rebuilt first, second, and third brigades of the independent garrison of the Kwantung Army, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people.

Originally, Tang Tianhao was the battalion commander of the third regiment, but because of the fierce fight between the first regiment and the second regiment, the strength was greatly damaged, so the Japanese promoted Tang Tianhao to the commander of the third regiment, and as for the original regiment commander, he was dropped to the local garrison as an idle post.

In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the independent garrison, the Japanese Kwantung Army urgently transferred domestic reserve troops to supplement the source of these brigades, but compared with those experienced veterans at the beginning, it was a big difference in combat effectiveness.

In addition, the 16th Wing of the Second Division, the commander was killed by Luo Xiao in the chaos, and some of the senior officers of the 16th Wing who accompanied him were all killed under the guns of Zang Xuecheng and Ma Xueli.

Therefore, the Japanese army put most of the commander's hopes for this sweep on the two newly transferred independent mixed brigades.

As for Zang Xuecheng and Ma Xueli's security army, the Japanese Kwantung Army didn't count on it at all, and the purpose of taking them was because they were locals and were familiar with the local terrain and human conditions, which could reduce a lot of effort; The other is to prepare to use them as cannon fodder if necessary to reduce the losses of the Japanese army.

Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, this is also the inevitable situation that traitors will face.

There was still half an hour before the meeting, but the Japanese officers were all sitting upright, as if they were carved clay sculptures of wood, and there was no movement except for the heaving of their chests as they breathed.

Look at Zang Xuecheng and other officers of the security army, one by one, they rolled up their sleeves, wore their hats crookedly, and the spittle in the vernacular at the corners of their mouths splashed wildly, causing all the Japanese officers around them to frown and quietly move their bodies back.

"I said Zang Xuecheng, don't hold back Lao Tzu for this sweep, otherwise Lao Tzu won't care about you." Although the holiday with Zang Xuecheng has passed, Ma Xueli never forgets the death of his son, and there is also the loss of the rush.

The fire fight caused him to be killed and injured more than 100 times, and he was distressed and only sighed: "Grandma's, this is all recruited by Lao Tzu Huadayang, so he was lost." ”

Zang Xuecheng snorted and glanced at him coldly, "Ma Xueli, it is not certain who will drag who at that time, just your broken guns, I will give Zang Ye and me a hand." ”

"Bullshit, come on, don't you just rely on Zang Xuecheng to become a name, isn't it because of the relationship between the young marshal that many people have scruples?" Ma Xueli sneered, revealing Zang Xuecheng's scars.

This sentence did touch Zang Xuecheng's shortcomings, which made him furious, "I said Ma Xueli, Lao Tzu relies on himself, don't mention to me that unsuccessful kid, not as powerful as his Lao Tzu." ”

"Have you had enough of arguing, shut up for me!" Shimamoto Shoichi on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted in a deep voice.

This sentence immediately quieted Zang Xuecheng and Ma Xueli, and with a belly full of anger, they glanced at Shimamoto Shoichi who was sitting at the table not far from them.

Shimamoto Shoichi has now been promoted to Dazuo, and the red collar badge on his shoulder is shining with golden stars, perhaps because he was seriously injured at the beginning, so Shimamoto Shoichi's face is a little pale, and he occasionally coughs. But he, like the other Japanese officers, sat solemnly and waited for Jiro Tamon's arrival.

In the last battle of Beidaying, Shimamoto Shoichi's second brigade was wiped out because of Luo Xiao's intervention, and he almost died, but it was also because of his bravery that not only was he not punished, but he was rewarded, won the medal issued by the Japanese Army Headquarters, and his military rank was also promoted to Dazuo.

After this journey of life and death, Shimamoto Shoichi seems to be more mature, his face is a little more stable and cautious, and he believes that the recruits of the second brigade led by him will not be able to become the elite of the Kwantung Army again in a short time.

"The quality of these officers is really low!" Shimamoto Masashi looked at Zang Xuecheng and Ma Xueli, who were still trying their luck with each other, and sighed secretly, and then Luo Xiao's shadow flashed in his mind, "Why can there be such an outstanding person in the Chinese nation, how good it would be if it was the Yamato nation." ”

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of leather boots stomping on the ground outside the conference room, and all the officers in the room looked upbeat and straightened their backs.

With a bang, the carved hardwood door was pushed open, and the commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Tamon, walked in from the door, followed by the chief of staff of the 2nd Division, who was also his think tank, Ozawa and other Japanese officers of the 2nd Division.

Seeing that the division commander was coming, those Japanese officers immediately stood up and moved in unison, looking as if they had undergone rigorous training, and they all looked solemn and looked at Tamen Jiro.

There was also a serious look on Jiro Duomen's chubby face, and he couldn't see a trace of a smile, he glanced at everyone, and then stepped to his place, and glanced at everyone with his hands on the table.

Both the Japanese officers and the security officers were holding their breath, waiting for him to speak.

"Gathering everyone here today is to carry out a military operation that is very important to the Japanese Empire, and in the next month, we will carry out a sweep of the front line of Tiger Roaring Mountain and Zanglong Mountain, so as to completely annihilate the anti-Japanese elements hidden in these mountains and forests, clear the hidden dangers near the Fengtian base camp, and lay a solid rear for expansion into North China." Jiro Tamen didn't say polite words, his chubby face was also serious, and his hoarse voice carried the undoubted undoubted position of a person who had been in a high position for a long time, "Next, Chief of Staff Ozawa will assign tasks to everyone." ”

Hearing this, Ozawa took a step forward to take the place of Jiro Tamon, he looked at Jiro Tamon who had retreated to the side, then opened the folder in his hand, and then said, "Ordered by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, this sweeping operation was carried out by Major General Jiro Tamen, the division commander of the 2nd Division, and the deputy commanders-in-chief were Osa, the commander of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade, Kobu Dosa, and the commander of the 38th Independent Mixed Brigade, Iein Jisa. ”

As soon as his words fell, the two Japanese officers stood up one after another, nodded to the group, and then sat back down.
