After leaving Liu Lianming behind, Li Ziyuan immediately began to shrink his forces according to the plan, crossed the Baijin railway line and jumped to the west of the Luxi area, preparing to launch a large-scale sabotage war on the area west of the Baijin railway. However, before Li Ziyuan evacuated, he asked Liu Lianming's reconnaissance company to set up a booby trap on the wreckage of the wrecked train according to the method he had taught them.

After the deployment of the transferred matters, Li Ziyuan left Liu Lianming's unit to operate alone along the Baijin Railway, looking for an opportunity to continue to sabotage the Baijin Railway Line. In order to transfer back the Japanese puppet army that swept the entire mountainous area of Ludong to ensure the safety of this batch of grain, he commanded the main force of the detachment to jump to the west of the Baijin railway line.

Just as Li Ziyuan covered the masses to transport grain, he commanded the troops to cross the Baijin Railway and go straight to the north of Hubei and the east and west of Lu. However, this time Li Ziyuan did not plan to stay in the Luxi area for a long time, in his words, he just took a handful and left. After mobilizing the Japanese puppet army that was sweeping in Ludong to come back for reinforcements, he jumped into the Taiyue Mountains to the west of the Shangdang Basin and waited for hiding.

Li Ziyuan moved quickly, but the Japanese army was not slow either. After receiving a report that the train transporting grain had been attacked at the junction of Ludong and Hubei, Major General Hanaya Masa, chief of staff of the First Army, who was in charge of the 36th Division, did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the scene of the attack together with Shintaro Imamura, chief of staff of the 36th Division.

Looking at the messy scene, the major general Hanaya Zheng's face turned pale. This batch of grain was for the North China Front Army's management department, which was mobilized from the southeast of Shanxi Province to supplement the Japanese army in northern Shanxi and southern Hebei. The North China Front Army Command attaches great importance to this batch of grain.

As a result, there is not a single grain left in the entire train of grain. There is also this Baijin Railway, which itself does not have many locomotives. These locomotives were transferred from the Beitongpu Line, which is being successively changed to the standard gauge, and the Zhengtai Line, which has been changed to the standard gauge.

In the other occupied areas of the Empire in China, there were no such locomotives and carriages that could only be used by narrow-gauge railways. In the case of ensuring the capacity of the Nantongpu Railway, which has not yet been changed to quasi-gauge, is also guaranteed. On the Baijin railway line, it is impossible to deploy too many locomotives. This time, two trains were destroyed at one time, and coupled with the locomotives that were destroyed by the Eighth Route one after another, the capacity of the entire Baijin Line was once again weakened.

After seeing the corpse collectors, as well as the soldiers and pseudo-guards who tried to push the second half of the train that was still on the tracks, were killed and injured by the booby trap set by Li Ziyuan when he left. Although this Major General Hanaya was barely suppressing and did not burst out on the spot, his face was gloomy and he could squeeze out water.

Hanaya, whose face was terrifyingly gloomy, turned his head and said, "Imamura-kun, how much ammunition did your Fire God Temple ammunition depot lose in the third attack, can you tell me the truth?" Don't tell me that these standards used by the Imperial Army*, as well as the standard 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun cartridges of the Imperial Army, are all made by Balu itself. ”

"And the shell of that 37 infantry flat-firing gun, which is a shell made by themselves. The Chinese army had the 37 infantry anti-aircraft guns that they purchased from the Imperial Army before the war and prevented by themselves, and it cannot be said that the shells that were fired were similar products imitated by the Chinese themselves. I'm not blind yet, and I can still see if this shell was produced by the Empire. ”

"The *box in this place, the handwriting printed on it, don't you tell me the Duchina language? Your commander of the Jingguan Division is now a wasted person, and you don't have to hide anything for him. If you don't want your divisions and your allies to continue to suffer similar losses, please tell you the truth. ”

"You have been the chief of staff of the 36th Division for a long time, and you should know what the biggest weakness of the Eighth Route is. If they obtained sufficient ammunition in their hands, as well as a certain amount of heavy firepower, what kind of danger would they bring to the imperial garrison in the entire southeast of Jin. Your 36th Division still can't tell the truth? ”

It turned out that when Shintaro Imamura reported the bombing of the ammunition depot, he did something to conceal the losses in consideration of the face of the 36th Division. Moreover, the fact that the Eighth Route attacked the ammunition depot and robbed a large number of weapons and ammunition was changed to the fact that the defenders of the ammunition depot detonated the ammunition depot by themselves before all the jade was shattered.

The chief of staff of the 36th Division wanted to leave a little face for the division commander, who was lying on the hospital bed and could not even take care of himself, as well as his own division. I made a lot of moves in the battle report, but I didn't expect it to be exposed now, and I was seen by Hanaya from the traces left on the battlefield.

However, how much ammunition and equipment was taken away by Hachiro in the battle of the Fire Temple, in fact, Imamura Shintaro does not know. Because the ammunition and equipment that the entire Fire God Temple ammunition depot could not take away were blown up into the sky by Li Ziyuan. How much of the ammunition was taken away by Yachiro, and how much of the ammunition was destroyed in the explosion, Imamura Shintaro can't count it at all.

It was just that according to his ability to maneuver on the Eighth Route and the transportation capacity at that time, the mobile troops that reinforced Changzhi that day encountered the firepower encountered when fighting against the retreating Eighth Road. Judging by the bullet casings left over from today's battle, a large amount of ammunition was lost at the Fire Temple ammunition depot at that time.

In particular, the number of small arms bullets and * lost was particularly enormous. Because no shells of the Siyi Mountain shells were found at the scene, the shells are not bullets after all, and the requirements for transportation and use are still very high, as well as the judgment of the heavy firepower of the entire Taihang Mountain Eighth Road. I'm afraid that mountain shells and shells of other calibers, the number lost will not be too large.

But out of consideration for the face of the 36th Division, no matter how much Hanaya was trying to pry Imamura Shintaro's mouth open, he still maintained a stubborn silence. Because once some things are said, it is enough for the division commander on the hospital bed and he, the chief of staff of the 36th division, to go to court-martial.

Looking at Shintaro Imamura, who was silent in the face of his questioning, Major General Hanaya shook his head: "Imamura-kun, since you don't talk about it, then I won't ask." There are some things that you say now, and I can still find a way to hide something for you and my colleagues in the face of you. ”

"But you're so stubborn, wait for the base camp to come and talk to you. As for the present, I will give you two ways now, either you can catch this dirt road as soon as possible and completely wipe it out, so that the First Army and the 36th Division will be ashamed, and maybe you can also turn into a reserve. ”

"If you repeatedly fail to give an explanation to the base camp and the North China Front, then what awaits you with the result, I think you are still clear. You're not an Imperial general yet, and some conventions don't take the turn of an army chief. Also, the loss of military rations collected this time is so huge, you should think about how to make up for it yourself. ”

For Imamura Shintaro first concealed it, and now there is a silent and very dissatisfied Major General Hanaya Masa. After finishing speaking, he pushed away Shintaro Imamura beside him. Now he didn't want to spend a quarter of an hour longer with this guy who was full of lies.

Although this Major General Hanaya is a soldier from the Japanese Army's secret service, he is one of the main planners and participants in the 918 incident. In order to cover up his crimes, he justified the Japanese invasion and occupation of China. Once in the media, he lied and never blushed.

But this old man is very disgusted with others deceiving him, especially as the chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army, he is very dismissive of Imamura Shintaro's battle report. At first glance, he saw that the battle report of the 36th Division would definitely not be a real battle report. Half of the stuff in it is true, and it's good.

When he arrived in Changzhi to personally sit in the town and guide, he did not dictate the actions of the 36th Division as the chief of staff of the army. even helped this Imamura Shintaro Osa, stabilizing the chaotic situation that the division was in after the division commander was unable to perform his duties.

But now that he is directly asking about himself, this Imamura brother still doesn't tell him the truth, which is something that Major General Hanaya Masashi can't accept. Although the Imperial Japanese Army often falsified its war reports to show the great military might of the Empire, it was to boost the morale of the army and the people.

But in the internal report, there is basically something to say. At present, the 36th Division is actually falsifying the internal battle report at the division and regiment level, and this is what Major General Hanaya cannot forgive. Your boss doesn't know your true battle report, and it is easy to make mistakes in judging the enemy's situation.

In particular, the 36th Division lost a large amount of ammunition this time, which was tantamount to adding wings to the Eighth Route, which had always lacked guns and ammunition. At this time, he Imamura Shintaro was still stubbornly silent, which undoubtedly put his allies in danger. Doesn't he know what the consequences of losing so much ammunition can be?

At present, Major General Hanaya Masa, who was full of extreme contempt for Imamura Shintaro Osa, and Lieutenant General Iseki, who was lying on the hospital bed with crooked lips and slanted eyes, decided to wait until he returned to Changzhi and immediately send a report to the North China Front, suggesting that the chief of staff of the 36th Division be replaced, and that a man with an iron fist should be sent to reorganize the 36th Division.

But just when Major General Hanayamasa, who was in a hurry to rush back to Changzhi to write a report, bowed his head and was about to get into the car that had already pulled the door of the adjutant who reacted very quickly. A shot suddenly came from a hilly area not far east of the attack site, and hit the location of Major General Hanaya with great accuracy.

The shell came quite suddenly, with little warning. None of the Japanese puppet soldiers present expected that a mortar would suddenly appear in that hilly area that had been searched. And the landing point of this shell was so accurate that it landed directly on the side of the car of this Major General Hanayamasa.

Because the driver of Major General Hanaya Masa, when Major General Hanaya got out of the car, the car did not turn off according to Hanaya Masa's instructions. When this sudden shot* fell, His Excellency, who was full of anger, and the guards around him, because of the noise of the car's engine, did not hear the sound of the shell breaking through the air at all.

Coupled with the extremely sudden impact of this shell, and the distance was only less than a thousand meters, there was no time to give this Major General Hanaya Masashi any chance to react. When the smoke from the shells fell, all the Japanese soldiers who had fallen to the ground before were stunned.

The Toyota car in which the Imperial Major General-level officer of Major General Hanaya was riding had been knocked to the ground by a shell. And he himself, along with the adjutant beside him, has been blown up and can't even get together all the parts. Looking at the mutilated corpse of Major General Hanaya, Shintaro Imamura was immediately dumbfounded.
