Chapter 430: The Gap Is Narrowing (Third Update!) )
The headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, since the end of the First World War in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka has never shown any smile on his face. No matter who he saw, he had a gloomy face and an expression of wanting to kill.
In the past half a month, several officers of the Imperial Allied Army have died in the anger of Yoshio Shinozuka.
The commander was in a bad mood, and the command was undoubtedly the most affected.
For half a month, including the chief of staff, he could say a word in front of Yoshio Shinozuka and never say two words, for fear that he would anger Yoshio Shinozuka if he didn't say a word, and then vent all his anger against the Eighth Route Army on himself.
At this time, the chief of staff stood at the door of the war room with a telegram in his hand, with a hesitant expression, neither entering, nor not.
However, the content of the telegram was too important, and it was related to the Eighth Route Army, so it really couldn't be delayed for too long. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and walk up to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Your Excellency, the Intelligence Department has just received a telegram about the whereabouts of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights, staring at the chief of staff and asking rhetorically.
Looking for you, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in North China is getting bigger and bigger, and the status of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the Japanese has long surpassed the Second Theater Command hidden in the southwest of Shanxi, and has become a thorn in the side of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, the primary offensive target.
It is precisely for this reason that a large number of intelligence personnel of the Japanese North China Front are looking for and staring at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at all times, trying to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, directly destroy it, and then paralyze the command system of the Eighth Route Army in the entire North China region.
The idea is good, but it is very difficult to implement it.
Because the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has been hidden in the deep mountains of Taihang Mountain, and it is constantly moving. Despite the expenditure of a lot of manpower and material resources, and the loss of many excellent intelligence personnel, in the end there is still nothing.
Now that he suddenly heard the intelligence department say that he had found the whereabouts of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible for Yoshio Shinozuka not to be excited.
was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and asked with an expectant face: "Where is it, are there any troops of the imperial army there?" If not, send bombers to bomb and raze his hiding place to the ground, and you will definitely be able to blow him up! ”
The chief of staff, Major General Tanaka, did not want to break Shinozuka Yoshio's dream, but the facts are the facts, and finally replied stubbornly: "I lost it, and the bravery of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army was only known to them two days later, and it basically did not help to confirm the position of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"Bage Yalu, why didn't you report to me without helping you? What does the intelligence department do to eat, where does so much military spending go every year, and after such a long time, no useful information has been found! Yoshio Shinozuka was directly angry and scolded the chief of staff.
Major General Tanaka had long anticipated this step and kept his head down and said nothing.
waited until Yoshio Shinozuka was tired of scolding him before he continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, this information is not useless! ”
"According to intelligence, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army went to their so-called Jinchaji Military Region a few days ago, which is Wutai Mountain. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, he will definitely not take the risk of passing our two blockade lines to Wutai Mountain for no reason, something big must have happened! ”
"Also, according to intelligence, although the Eighth Route Army that attacked us Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, it was not as big as the Eighth Route Army said in the battle report, and the losses were at least doubled by the Eighth Route Army headquarters."
"There is also weapons and ammunition, although we strictly ordered the Imperial Army near the Eighth Route Army's garrison to prohibit attacks during this time, and did not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to independent us, so that they could not obtain weapons and ammunition supplies through war. However, this did not affect the recovery of the strength of these Eighth Route Army troops! ”
"Our intelligence officers embedded in the Eighth Route Army reported that the Eighth Route Army did not know where to obtain a large amount of weapons and ammunition. It has only been half a month, and the Eighth Route Army, which participated in the First World War in Taiyuan, has already made up for the lost troops and equipment, and is seizing the time to train and restore its combat effectiveness!! ”
"And ......" Seeing that Yoshio Shinozuka's face was getting more and more ugly, Major General Tanaka, who was about to continue, swallowed the next words back into his stomach as soon as he said two words.
"Bage Yalu, what other bad news, after saying it all in one breath, I can still bear it!" Yoshio Shinozuka, who was already holding back his anger, saw Tanaka's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and his anger became even greater, and he didn't give it to Nakata, and scolded on the spot in front of more than a dozen subordinates in the war room.
"Hey!" Major General Tanaka also held back his anger.
But who made Yoshio Shinozuka a lieutenant general, the commander of the First Army of the Great Japanese Empire!
In the hierarchical Japanese army, the rule of crushing people to death at the level of officials is very strict, and Tianzhong did not have the courage to break this rule by defying the law.
Therefore, no matter how big the grievances and dissatisfaction are, he can only hold it in his stomach, and then pretend to answer with a very useful expression.
"The intelligence department deduced that a large part of the weapons and equipment obtained by the Eighth Route Army in various places were captured from Taiyuan City. In addition to this, there is also a possibility that the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army can already mass-produce weapons and equipment! ”
"You know, they snatched a full set of equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal. If all these equipment are used, coupled with their abundant raw materials, all the equipment of a field division of the Imperial Japanese Army can be produced in three months! ”
"Although some time ago we dispatched several bomber groups to bomb the equipment stolen by the Eighth Route Army from the Taiyuan Arsenal, and achieved a lot of results. But we have to admit that the equipment destroyed is very small compared to what the Eighth Route Army snatched, and it does not affect the expansion of their arsenal by the Eighth Route Army at all! ”
"The Intelligence Department also has relevant information on this inference!"
"In recent days, the Eighth Route Army in various places has been transporting railroad tracks to the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in Wutai Mountain, and intelligence personnel hidden inside the Eighth Route Army have revealed that after these rails arrive at the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the Eighth Route Army in various places can directly exchange the rails for weapons and equip their troops."
"In addition to the large-scale manufacture of weapons, I really can't imagine where the Eighth Route Army needs so many rails."
"You know, to a certain extent, rail steel can be directly used to produce ordinary small arms, and even mortars!"
"In addition, it is inferred that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army suddenly went to the headquarters of the Jinchaji Military Region in Wutai Mountain a few days ago, and it must also be related to the Eighth Route Army Arsenal that we have been looking for!"
"Yaga, you must find this arsenal and destroy it!" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly scolded, his tone was very resolute and full of murderous aura.
"If this arsenal is not destroyed, the Eighth Route Army can obtain a steady stream of weapons and equipment through it. At that time, the gap between the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army will become smaller and smaller, and the Imperial Army will no longer have an absolute advantage in North China! ”
