Taiyuan, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, his face is not very good-looking.

Yoshio Shinozuka waved the saber in his hand and smashed all the vases on the table, and the anger on his face could not be concealed at all. As the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka was in charge of the North China Front's war in Shanxi, and in order to achieve corresponding results, he repeatedly launched encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army base area. Even after repeated failures, Yoshio Shinozuka continued to draw troops to encircle, suppress and blockade the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

In Shinozuka's view, the Eighth Route Army was the most unstable element in the occupied areas, and most importantly, the Eighth Route Army grew stronger and stronger in the occupied areas. The previous encirclement and suppression did not receive the attention of the North China Front Command, but in a large-scale battle launched by the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front Command paid enough attention. But Yoshio Shinozuka knew that it was too late to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area.

In order to be able to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in North China and destroy the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front Army Headquarters dispatched various garrison units to carry out a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area. In order to accomplish the strategic purpose of the sweep, Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front, also transferred back an armored brigade from the Mongolian garrison to enhance the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops in the occupied areas.

The North China Front took the initiative to organize a sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base areas in the occupied area, and Shinozuka Yoshio naturally did not have any problems, but fully cooperated, and he also hoped to be able to kill these active Eighth Route Army. But today, Yoshio Shinozuka is extremely angry, the 36th Division is under the leadership of the First Army, and it is a unit under the jurisdiction of the First Army. However, under such circumstances, the North China Front Command directly transferred the 36th Division.

At the same time, the front-line battle report of the 36th Division did not fall into the hands of him, the commander of the First Army, but was sent to the headquarters of the North China Front Army. Yoshio Shinozuka knew this, so how could he not be angry? Within the army, it is not that there is no competition, and Yoshio Shinozuka has a lot of competitors, and he can imagine that his competitors must be snickering in secret! But even if Yoshio Shinozuka was dissatisfied, he couldn't help the commander of the 36th Division, Iseki, they were all lieutenant generals, and if they wanted to make a move against Iseki, they couldn't do it at all.

"Yaga! Yaga! After Yoshio Shinozuka chopped up all the vases he could see, his anger subsided a little.

The officers in the headquarters lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up at Yoshio Shinozuka, knowing that Yoshio Shinozuka was in a bad mood, they naturally wouldn't let Yoshio Shinozuka vent his anger on them. The officers lowered their heads, and none of them had the idea of wanting to speak, and the front-line troops' sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area was not going well, and it was too late for them to be happy, and it didn't involve them, and these officers were naturally happy to watch the show.

"Yaga! You shit! Rubbish! Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze swept over the officers in the headquarters, and there was an obvious cold light flashing in his eyes.

The officers in the headquarters were still bowing their heads, and they were being reprimanded by Yoshio Shinozuka, and there was no problem with being reprimanded a few times. The attack of the front-line troops has nothing to do with their officers, if their troops are fighting with the Eighth Route Army on the front line, then these officers will definitely not hesitate to open their mouths and say something for the front-line troops, but unfortunately they have no involvement with the front-line troops, so naturally they will not choose to speak.

"Do you think you can get out of it without opening your mouth? It is the order of the North China Front Command to launch a sweep of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and the sweeps in other areas are progressing faster than ours, and when the time comes, I will be punished by the North China Front Command, and you will definitely be affected. As officers under the command of the First Army, the 36th Division and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, which are responsible for attacking the base areas of the Eighth Route Army on the front line, will also be involved in the war. ”

"Do you really want the North China Front Command to think that our First Army is a waste? Will the great feats and prestige of our First Army be destroyed at your hands? Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily.

Shinozuka Yoshio's words made it impossible for the officers in the headquarters to continue to be silent, as a member of the First Army, they were naturally closely related to the First Army. If the prestige of the First Army is really rotten, then they will inevitably be affected, not to mention that these officers did not speak before, and they also felt that the 36th Division and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army could get a lot of benefits from sweeping the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, but they could only watch from the rear and could not get the slightest benefit. In this case, these officers naturally will not speak easily now.

"Your Excellency Commander, the battle on the front line is not going well, then we only need to mobilize more soldiers, reinforce the 36th Division and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, and complete the sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army! With the combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army, Tsuchihachi Road will not be our opponent at all! An officer spoke.

Other officers also expressed their support, and the solution to the matter was very simple, the battle on the front line was not going well, and it was impossible to quickly complete the sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base area, so it was only necessary to increase the number of troops so that the Eighth Route Army could not resist, and naturally there would be no problems. Undoubtedly, the increased number of troops can also bring certain combat merits to the officers present, and they are naturally very willing.

"Yaga! It's all rubbish! Do you want you to tell me to do this? Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily. Looking at the officers in the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka had an ugly face, these officers disappointed him too much, these people are still the elite of the Great Japanese Empire? In Shinozuka Yoshio's opinion, the officers present are all scraps, and the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers is not weak, but the Eighth Route Army is not an opponent that can be easily solved.

If the Eighth Route Army can be easily solved, then he, the commander of the First Army, has failed to kill the Eighth Route Army base many times, doesn't it mean something? Looking at these officers, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't have the slightest idea of continuing to talk to them, and he didn't want to waste his time anymore.

"Go down! Mobilize your forces! Always ready to support the battle on the front line! Yoshio Shinozuka said coldly, looking at the officers present with a particularly unkind gaze. It's a pity that Yoshio Shinozuka also knows that he doesn't have much to do with these officers, and the family behind these officers is not weak, even if he is the winner of the army, he can't punish these officers for no reason.

Watching these officers leave the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka's anger calmed down a lot, but he also determined that he would definitely not be able to consult with these officers in the future, just give them a combat order directly! It is naturally good to be able to complete the order, but if he can't complete the order, then he, the commander, will have enough reason to punish them!

"Yamamoto, come out." After a moment of silence, Yoshio Shinozuka spoke.
