Chapter 59: The Capture of Lingqiu City (1)

I saw that the commander of the Japanese First Army, the intelligence officer Yoshino Shaosa, also stood in front of Yoshio Shinozuka, and immediately said solemnly: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, according to analysis, this telegram was indeed sent from the radio of His Royal Highness the Prince. However, it can be confirmed that the method of the sender was not sent by the Imperial Radio personnel accompanying His Royal Highness the Prince! Humility is guaranteed! Commander! ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and sat on the chair behind him, his shocked expression already extremely obvious.

Fushimiya Toshihiko was the prince of the Wa Kingdom, the son of the royal nobles, and the future deputy commander of the First Army and the commander of the 10th Division.

It would be okay if Fushimi Palace Toshihiko died in battle, but now he was actually captured by Li Yunlong, and in the Japanese army's own territory, he was captured by Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which is a shame, which is a shame for him Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Baga Ya Road! The garrison of Lingqiu County is not seven minutes away from the Guanshui Railway Bridge, even if there are two companies of the Zhina Army to block it, and a squadron of imperial troops can beat a regiment of the Zhina Army, and now they have not rushed to the Guanshui Railway Bridge until now! A bunch of rubbish! Yoshio Shinozuka slapped the table, his face was furious, the prince of the empire was captured by the enemy, if this spread, it would have a great impact on the dignity of the imperial family and the morale of the imperial army.

And he, Yoshio Shinozuka, as the commander of the First Army stationed in the occupied area of Jin Province, also protects the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince who came to serve in the First Army. Now, Yoshio Shinozuka understands that he must recapture Toshihiko Fushimiya. Otherwise, it is not impossible for his position as commander of the First Army to be removed by the old guys in the base camp in the future.

Yoshino Shaosa, the intelligence officer of the First Army who was trembling on the side, plucked up his courage and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Commander, now Li Yunlong suddenly asks us to stop the attack on them by the troops of Pingxingguan, and asks us to give up Lingqiu County. Otherwise, Li Yunlong would have to announce to the world the news that the new group had captured the prince of the empire, and the impact was too great! ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was hideous, and he waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Yoshino Shaosa, do you mean to agree to Li Yunlong's request?" But what we don't know now is whether His Royal Highness already exists. If His Highness had been killed in battle, wouldn't we have watched Li Yunlong evacuate in the midst of our East and West Invasion? When the time comes, this will be a disgrace to the Empire! ’。

At this time, although he received a telegram from Li Yunlong, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away from the Guanshui River, was not sure whether Li Yunlong, who had captured the Fushiminomiya Toshihiko armored train, had really captured Fushimiya Toshihiko.

Once it is found out afterwards that Toshihiko Fushimi Palace has been killed in battle, wouldn't he be tricked by others?

After all, this is a possibility, and you can't be careless.

Yoshino Shaozo suddenly said: "Your Excellency, the information collected from the intelligence agency, Li Yunlong may really have captured His Highness after capturing His Royal Highness's armored train!" If we do not agree to Li Yunlong's request, if His Highness is killed in front of the imperial soldiers at that time, our First Army will not be able to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor! What's more, the prince of the empire has never been captured by the Chinese people, once this matter is publicized by Li Yunlong, Your Excellency Commander, we can't afford it! ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka was silent for a while, and what Yoshino Shaoza said was good. But according to Li Yunlong's request, Li Yunlong was evacuated safely at that time, and retreated safely with His Royal Highness the Prince, who might still be captured. This is not a good thing for Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Yoshino, what you said is good, but you can't follow Li Yunlong's conditions one by one! Now, even if His Royal Highness the Prince is captured, it will be useless! Now, Li Yunlong must be blocked, and this person must not be allowed to retreat safely! Otherwise, what is the face of the empire! Yoshio Shinozuka said with a hideous face, waving his hand.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Yoshino Shaoza hurriedly said: "But the safety of His Highness?" ”。

"Bagayalu, you're an intelligence officer! Don't make decisions for this commander! I now order you to immediately send the Empire's elite intelligence personnel to gather all the information about Li Yunlong's person! Hurry up and drop! Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand dissatisfiedly and said.

At this time, Miyano, chief of staff of the Japanese First Army Headquarters, motioned for Yoshino to go out, and gestured that he would discuss it with Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Commander, retire from your position!" Yoshino Shaozo suddenly said with a heavy pause, and then turned around and left the headquarters.

After Yoshino Shaozo went out, the chief of staff of Miyano said to Yoshio Shinozuka with a solemn pause: "Your Excellency, Commander, from the humble point of view, it is very likely that this telegram sent by Li Yunlong has been captured by the new group!" ’。

"Miyano-kun, you're actually right! I have heard of Li Yunlong, and I have said that it is true, although it is true or false, His Royal Highness may have died in battle. But there is a high possibility of being captured by Li Yunlong! Although the two squadrons of the empire on the train of His Royal Highness the Prince are well-equipped, most of the ammunition is submachine guns, and according to the current time, it is estimated that they have been exhausted! ”

Chief of Staff Miyano said, 'What does the commander mean?' ’。

"Miyano-kun, you personally go and send a report, order the imperial garrisons in Pingxingguan and Lingqiu County, speed up, and be sure to block the way of Li Yunlong's department! Regardless of whether His Highness was captured by Li Yunlong or not. Surround this person first! Otherwise, there is no way to talk about everything. I want to know whether His Highness is safe or not, and I can't agree to this person's request from the telegram sent by Li Yunlong. Yoshio Shinozuka said solemnly.

Suddenly, without waiting for Miyano to reply, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Where is Yamamoto Kazuki's commando team at this time? ”。

"Commander, according to the time, it is almost time to arrive at Yangmingbao." Chief of Staff Miyano paused.

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "Yo Xi, since Li Yunlong was able to successfully ambush His Royal Highness's armored train at the Guanshui Railway Bridge, and now His Highness is likely to have been captured by his people. It shows that the combat effectiveness of the new regiment is indeed very strong. I am afraid that the recent dispatch of the imperial garrison in Lingqiu County will not be able to break through the resistance of the troops of the two companies of the new regiment, which has already shown that the enemy combat effectiveness of the new regiment is indeed very strong. So, it's better to order Yamamoto Kazuki's commando team to take a plane to parachute in order to drag Li Yunlong, Miyano-kun, what do you think? ”。

"Your Excellency, Commander, your method is very good! Kazuki Yamamoto's commando team has trained in aerial landing operations at the Special Military Academy in Munich, Germany, and we are at Yangmingbao Airport, where we can transport the commandos eastward! Chief of Staff Miyano suddenly became excited and said.
