Everyone's eyes were focused on the head of the secret service section, and their eyes were strange.

Seeing the head of the secret service section who stood up, Watanabe Zuo was not only not relieved that someone finally dared to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility, but said with an even more pale face: "Yoshikawa-kun, don't make trouble!" ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!"

The chief of the secret service section known as Yoshikawa said: "I, Yoshikawa Sadasa, as a member of the empire, definitely really want to contribute to the empire, and I also think I have this ability - how did this become a troublemaker?" ”

"Let me go out first!"

Watanabe drank vigorously, gritting his teeth and asking the group of secret service chiefs who were about to stuff their heads into their crotches to get out of the way first, and then looked at Yoshikawa with a long sigh and said: "Having said that, you should also know your own identity, and it is by no means as simple as an ordinary imperial soldier - if you lose your reputation due to the failure of the mission, it will not only be a matter of yourself alone, but even the emperor will lose his face......"

When he said this, Watanabe looked at Yoshikawa Sadasa, and his heart was bitter!

Although once you become an imperial soldier, you will put everything on military affairs, and it doesn't matter who you are anymore!

But after all, who will be scored-everywhere shouting that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but if the Son of Heaven breaks the law, who dares to treat it as the same as the common people?

Some things can be said, but you can't just say what you want to do - that's no different from looking for death!

Take Yoshikawa Sadasa, for example, if he is not the emperor's nephew, then it is definitely more than enough for him to be in charge of the intelligence work in the Lingjiang area - after all, although the other party is the emperor's nephew, there is absolutely no doubt about his outstanding ability.

But since the other party is the emperor's nephew, it won't work.

Watanabe Zuo knows very well that the other party is coming to the Far East, and the ultimate purpose is to gild and pave the way for climbing to a higher stage of the military in the future!

Although the other party is still under his own orders, Watanabe Zuoke has already heard the rumors, and when the year comes, the other party will be awarded the rank of major general and serve as the head of the secret service of the five provinces in North China!

With such a character, how dare he easily let the other party's reputation be damaged because of a small Tubalu detachment leader?

If this is the case, how will he Watanabe Zuo explain to the head of the soil fertilizer agency and how will he explain to the emperor?

"Watanabe-kun, you're thinking too much!"

Yoshikawa Sadazo said with a smile: "It's true that I, Yoshino, am a close relative of the emperor, but first of all, I am an imperial soldier, and now it is a critical moment for me to expand the territory of the Japanese Empire, and I can contribute to the empire. ”

Watanabe left speechless.

It's all about it, and people don't listen, what can I do?

Fortunately, no matter what, Yoshikawa Sadasa, as a senior official of the secret service, of course, could not go to Dongjiang Cangshui and other places in person to risk his life, but more to formulate a strategy to grasp the trend, and there would be no personal danger, so after thinking twice, Watanabe finally agreed.

"Zhang Ran, yes, I want to see how much ability you have!"

When he got out, Yoshikawa Sadasa immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

The Jindong detachment was able to rise rapidly in just half a year, causing such heavy casualties to the imperial soldiers, and Yoshikawa Sadazo believed that the guy named Zhang Ran must be the key to it!

This made Yoshikawa Sadazo can't help but be eager to try, and he has a feeling of joy when he sees the hunt!

Of course, this is definitely not what Zhang Ran did before, which aroused much interest in him - in the eyes of Yoshikawa Sadasa, Zhang Ran is just an ant like all the dirt roads!

If you have to distinguish Zhang Ran from ordinary Dirt Eight Road, then in the eyes of Yoshikawa Sadasa, he is the very happy ant who jumps!

But no matter how happy he is, but the ants are still ants after all, Yoshikawa Sadazo is absolutely sure, as long as he wants to, then he can directly pinch Zhang Ran to death at any time!

The reason why he is interested in Zhang Ran, Yoshikawa Sadazo has a deeper reason!

In his opinion, the reason why the Eighth Route Armed Forces in the occupied areas are so rampant is entirely due to the fact that the activities of the underground party and the spy activities of the military commanders of the Eighth Route Army have not been effectively curbed!

In order to stabilize the occupied territories, it is necessary to carry out large-scale military operations against the rebels in the occupied territories, while increasing intelligence infiltration, and if necessary, using assassination and other means to sabotage the intelligence system of the other side!

A two-pronged approach is the fundamental way to govern the occupied areas!

But at present, the main work of the secret service is all oriented to Chongqing, and it does not pay enough attention to the Yan'an troops such as the Eighth Route Army!

In response to this situation, Yoshikawa Sadazo has made many remarks, but he has always been in the sea, and he is not less depressed in private, feeling that his ambition is difficult to reward, and secretly swears from time to time that when his appointment is issued after the year, he must implement his own strategy of arming behind enemy lines on a large scale, and use actual results to blind the eyes of the senior staff of the secret service!

Although I am fully confident that my strategy will work, I have never experienced the actual test after all, and if I am not apprehensive at all, it is impossible!

And at this time, Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment popped up!

This time, the reason why Zhang Ran was able to turn the world upside down along the Lingjiang River with the Jindong detachment seemed to be a tactical effect, because the surrounding troops helped each other.

But fundamentally, from the very beginning, Zhang Ran took the lead in intelligence step by step!

Yoshikawa Sadazo knows this!

Therefore, Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment became the best candidates for Yoshikawa Sadazo to experiment with his strategy for the occupation zone!

Once his strategy is successfully applied to the Jindong detachment, then when he is officially appointed as the head of the secret service of the five provinces, he will be able to comprehensively promote his strategy in all the occupied areas, and if he suffers a setback, he can adjust or even modify it in time......

It can be described as a hundred benefits and no harm!

After deliberation, and then learned the lesson of the last time Anshi Jinmitsueko and others lurked in the core area of the Dongjiang River, not only did they get nothing but harmed the imperial military suffered heavy losses, Yoshikawa Sadasa and others reformulated the action plan of the secret service in the Lingjiang area in a very short time!

"Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran, I want to see how you can deal with it this time!"

Looking at the new plan that was almost flawless, Yoshikawa Sadazo laughed proudly, and then quickly appointed his subordinates to arrange it, while he immediately set off and went to the Lingjiang River to meet Okada and let the other party cooperate in the implementation of his plan!

Zhang Ran didn't know that he had attracted the attention of famous figures in the Japanese army, such as Terauchi Shouichi, Okamura Ninji, Yoshikawa Sadasa.

At this moment, he is holding a meeting in the headquarters of the detachment, on the one hand, to count all the gains of this battle, and on the other hand, to sum up the gains and losses of the battle.

The first is casualties.

Compared with the previous battles, the number of casualties in the detachment was low, and the number of casualties in the detachment this time has increased greatly!

Whether it was attacking Lu County or blocking the Japanese army in the Beihe Corridor, there were many casualties among the soldiers and militia, of course, the heaviest casualties still came from the casualties caused by the Japanese artillery during the siege of Yanwudu!

In the whole battle, the number of casualties on the detachment's side reached more than 100 people, of which more than 60 were killed.

Of the more than 60 people who died in battle, more than 40 soldiers were killed in battle!

Among them, there were nearly 30 people who died directly in Yanwudu - only seven or eight soldiers died in the Japanese attack, and the most were killed in the mountain artillery shelling of the Yanwudu Japanese army!

"Although the detachment's flying thunder artillery can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese at close range, if the Japanese army uses long-range artillery bombardment, we still have no way to ......."

Shi Yuan and the others said with ugly faces: "The problem of regular artillery fire is something we must solve, otherwise the little devil will not give us a chance to get close in the future, just use the artillery bombardment, which is enough to kill us......"

"I know!"

Zhang Ran nodded, his face was also extremely ugly.

As a traverser, in movies and television, what cannons has he never seen?

What howitzers, rocket artillery, anti-aircraft guns, etc., that power, the kind of small mountain artillery that the little devil is using now, Zhang Ran didn't pay attention to it at all.

Before that, if someone told him how awesome the little devil's 94-style or 99-style mountain cannon was, Zhang Ran might unceremoniously spit on the other party's face - even that thing can be called a cannon?

But after Yan Wudu was bombarded by two mountain cannons commanded by Matsui and Sakata, Zhang Ran was convinced!

The power is not great, but this small mountain cannon that he didn't pay attention to can bombard the team from a distance of several miles!

The team had no other way than to spit or be bombed, and seeing twenty or thirty people killed, the taste made Zhang Ran is teeth itch.

If it weren't for the two stupid people Matsui Sakata who commanded the team to rush out with hot brains, Zhang Ran was sure that in addition to being blown up in vain, he and the others wouldn't even be able to touch a single hair of the little devil, let alone take revenge!

So now Zhang Ran will no longer despise the mountain artillery of the little devil, and even dream that the detachment will have a few small cannons of this kind that he used to scoff.

But no matter how much I want, I can't help it.

There is such a thing as guns and ammunition, and you can still hope that the detachment will make it itself, but if you want a gun, it will be difficult!

The cannons used today can probably be smoothbore guns and rifled guns.

However, no matter what kind of artillery it is, it is not possible to solve the problem of the detachment's existing industrial base by allowing the barrel to withstand the pressure of the chamber and prevent the barrel from cracking and exploding at the time of firing.

There is no hope for that for at least a few years.

"The problem of the cannon, let's slowly figure it out in the future!"

Zhang Ran shook his head itchily and moved on to the next topic: "Report the good news first, I don't want to hear anything blocking at this time!" ”

As soon as the good news was spoken, the sadness in the hearts of everyone attending the meeting was finally diluted, and the solemn atmosphere gradually became cheerful.
