"Yaga, idiots, a bunch of idiots, what about Team Ito?"

Oizumi Shaozo said angrily.

Although the contents of the car were of little use to the Japanese army, they were thousands of rifles and other weapons and ammunition.

It's good now, it's all cheap for the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army in this vicinity is already a little difficult, and after sending so many weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army, do you still need this transportation line?

How many people do they have to take to protect the lines of communication?

"Your Excellency, all of Ito's team has been shattered, and the remains are piled up in the stronghold. And... And... ”

"And what?" Oizumi Shaozuo's face was not good.

"The gas bombs that were stored in the Ito team's stronghold before have also disappeared, and we found traces of the use of gas bombs on the battlefield, and our subordinates suspect that the Eighth Route Army of China had used gas bombs before."

"Nani?"

Oizumi Shaozuo's face changed greatly.

Poison gas bombs are secrets, secrets that cannot be made public.

Although all countries have poison gas bombs, it is another matter whether they are used or not.

In the past, the Japanese army used it secretly, for fear of being known, lest the Chinese take it to the international community and publicize it, attracting the interference of Britain and the United States and other countries.

"Baga, why didn't such an important thing be transported to the brigade headquarters?"

In Oizumi Shaozuo's view, this matter can no longer be hidden. If the Chinese make the evidence public first, it will make the empire very passive, and I don't know how this matter will be punished by the above.

But this matter did happen in his own jurisdiction, and no matter how much he defended it, he couldn't get out of it.

Soon, this matter was reported layer by layer, and finally reached the hands of the supreme commander of the Japanese army in northern Shanxi, the commander of the Fifth Division, Itagaki Seishiro.

Seeing that the communication line was so destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, Itagaki Seishiro was also a little unhappy.

"Baga, these idiots, even the Eighth Route Army can't deal with them, they are just a bunch of waste, and they are still from the second division."

As the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, Nishimura Riwen Osa, advised, "Your Excellency the division commander, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, and we did not expect that the Eighth Route Army of the Zhina people would seriously threaten our transportation lines.

In this battle at Xinkou, our logistical transportation lines have exposed great problems. Although the Chinese army on the Xinkou front line is now ready to retreat, it is necessary to attack Taiyuan next, and if the transportation line is still attacked by the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that it will affect the combat operations of attacking Taiyuan. ”

Seishiro Itagaki is angry, but he himself is not stupid.

He plans to take the whole of Shanxi, how can he affect his actions because of this trivial matter.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Nishimura Riwin, Itagaki Seishiro transferred two brigades with large losses before to strengthen the forces of the transportation line, and launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army along the line.

At this time, Itagaki Seishiro naturally would not focus on the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army has begun to show its difficult side, it is still the Nationalist Army that resists the Japanese attack, so the main force of the Nationalist Army must be solved first.

For the Eighth Route Army, most of the Japanese troops did not pay attention to it at this time, after all, how big a wave can an army of only about 30,000 people turn?

Even if some people know the hidden dangers of the Eighth Route Army, no one is willing to deal with the Eighth Route Army at this time, and after defeating the main force of the National Army, they will deal with these difficult Eighth Route Army.

As for the issue of poison gas bombs, in Sakagaki's opinion, it is not a problem at all, is it because of this that the imperial army will not fight?

And the poison gas bomb, he didn't use it less, the British and the United States accused them of it, and they knew that they loved to say that if they really did it, they would have done it six years ago when the empire fully occupied Manchuria, so why wait until now?

Thinking of Manchuria, Itagaki Seishiro was quite proud, it was because of the efforts of himself and others that the empire could have a rich Manchuria, making it a material supply place for the empire's hegemony.

The empire lacked resources such as coal and iron, but Manchuria was abundant.

It is a pity that there is no oil, so the empire's oil is mainly imported from the United States, Britain and other countries.

Thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki shook his head, these should be things that the cabinet and the base camp are worried about, what is he doing with so much care?

Thinking that the Chinese troops on the Xinkou front had retreated, Seishiro Itagaki was a little excited.

In the Songhu battlefield, the empire dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops but failed to defeat the Chinese army, and relying on half a division and a few temporarily transferred troops, more than 20,000 people dared to attack the defense line of 200,000 Chinese troops head-on.

And in the end, the 200,000 Chinese army was defeated!

Of course, the reason why the 200,000 Chinese troops on the Xinkou front line retreated was not that they couldn't hold on, but that the Niangzi Pass east of Taiyuan was captured by the Japanese 20th Division, and Taiyuan lost its eastern barrier, and it would be meaningless to hold on to Xinkou again.

But Itagaki Seishiro didn't care about this, if he hadn't contained the 200,000 Chinese troops, how could the 20th Division and the 109th Division capture Niangzi Pass so quickly?

Speaking of which, he expressed his contempt for the 20th Division and the 109th Division, your one-and-a-half-division regiment has nearly 40,000 people, and in the face of 100,000 Chinese troops, it took more than 20 days to finish the battle.

"Pass the order, order the 5th Division, the mixed 15th Brigade and other units to attack on all fronts, eliminate the living forces of the Chinese army, and launch an attack on Taiyuan!"

Itagaki Seishiro's right hand pointed heavily at Taiyuan on the map, and commanded proudly, while the reporter next to him quickly pressed the shutter!

"Click!"

。。。。。。

"So many weapons captured?"

Seeing these things brought back by the 6th Company alarmed the entire second battalion.

The soldiers were busy moving the weapons on the wagons and ox carts into the yard, and the instructors hurriedly asked people to be on guard to avoid accidents.

"Report to the battalion commander that the 6th Company ambushed the Japanese army in Hujialing, Yingxian County two days ago, blew up 2 Japanese tanks, 15 trucks and 1 motorcycle, killed 137 Japanese soldiers, captured 1,457 rifles of various types, 17 light and heavy machine guns, 26 mortars and grenadiers, 2 mountain guns and 19 war horses, and a number of ammunition."

"My good girl, Lao Li, are you robbing the devil's arsenal?"

The deputy battalion commander next to him opened his mouth wide, looked stunned, and then laughed.

"Almost!"

Li Xiangbei nodded and pointed at Li Hai, "It was the college student who discovered the devil's operation through the devil's phone, and we didn't expect it to be a convoy transporting weapons and ammunition before the ambush." ”

The instructor looked at these weapons on the ground, came close and picked them up and took a closer look, "The gun is an old gun, the rifling is also worn, and there are so many medium and formal rifles, which were captured by the Japanese army from the Xinkou front?" ”

"Report instructor, it should be."

The battalion commander also stepped forward to take a closer look and found that it was true, "How many official rifles are there?" ”

"There are a total of 468 official rifles, and in addition to this, they are basically the 38 big covers of the devil and the 38 big covers imitated by the Jin Suijun."

Although the Japanese army captured a lot of weapons, they did not want everything, the first choice was 6.5mm caliber weapons, followed by the Central Army's formal rifles, and finally Hanyang-made.

It can be said that just these weapons can arm an elite infantry regiment that is not inferior to the Central Army.

It was only when the battalion commander looked up that he found that Li Hai's hand was injured, and he paused for a moment, "Sixth Company Commander, you have suffered a lot of losses?" ”
