Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

War Hall.

Okamura Ninji also summoned the chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff, and a group of staff officers, as well as Mitsuo Watanabe, to summarize the reasons for the failure of the bombing.

Almost every time he was defeated, Okamura Ninji had to gather the officers to summarize the reasons.

But even if the lessons of defeat are summed up in depth every time, in the face of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, it is still impossible to win the battle.

Defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat.

At the meeting, Tanabe Moritake proposed that since the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province and the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province could not solve the problem, then the Eighth Route Army in other military regions should be solved first.

This proposal won Okamura Ningji's approval, and if he lost a few more battles, he might not be able to secure his position as commander of the North China Front.

Only by winning a few battles first, keeping the position of the North China Front, and waiting until the end of the Southeast Asian War, and then asking the base camp for a large number of war materials, can we launch a sweeping operation against the northwest or southeast of Shanxi.

At that time, Okamura Ninji was ready to use 10 divisions to attack the northwest or southeast of Jin.

That would be a big gamble.

Won the war, he Okamura Ninji was promoted to make a fortune, and if he lost, he Okamura Ninji went into the wild.

The defeat summary meeting ended, and a group of devil officers were preparing to disperse.

At this moment, a devil telecommunications soldier hurriedly walked in with a telegram in his hand and handed the telegram in his hand to the communications staff officer.

After reading the telegram, the communication staff couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly, and immediately looked at Okamura Ninji.

The communications staff officer was hesitating to report to Okamura Ninji, but Okamura Ninji had already seen the change in the communication staff officer's expression.

"Kitani-kun." Okamura Ninji frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”

Okamura Ninji asked, and Tanabe Moritake, Seizo Arise, and a group of combat staff officers who were about to leave immediately stopped and looked at Hasamu Kitani, a communications staff officer.

"Report to the Commander!"

Osamu Kitani hesitated for a moment, bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported: "Just now, Li Yunlong sent a telegram in clear code..."

"Li Yunlong invented the code telegraph again?"

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji's face sank slightly, and almost every time Li Yunlong won a battle, he would send a telegram in clear code to sneer at him.

Li Yunlong also said that he Okamura Ningji was the captain of the transportation brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

It's ridiculous.

I am a dignified general of the Imperial Japanese Army, how can I be the captain of the transport brigade of the Eighth Route Army?

Also, Li Yunlong pretended to use the eliminated password to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, saying that he Okamura Ningji was the underground party of the Eighth Route Army, which almost caused him to lose his black yarn hat.

Li Yunlong, you wait for me!

When I, Okamura Ninji, wins the battle, I will also invent a code telegram to taunt you as a good friend of the locust army.

It's just that now Li Yunlong's little tricks can't do any harm to me Okamura Ningji.

The same kind of mental attack, used too many times, Okamura Ninji is already immune.

In just a moment, Okamura Ningji's expression returned to normal, and he even said with a smile: "Let me guess, Li Yunlong's clear code telegram must have announced to the world that their new group has shot down more than 40 planes of the Locust Army, and by the way, mock me." ”

Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo also nodded, guessing that Li Yunlong should have sent such a clear-code telegram.

"It's just shooting down more than 40 planes of the Locust Army." Youmo Jingsan sneered, "Li Yunlong can't wait to show off to the world, and Li Yunlong's pattern is like this." ”

Moritake Tanabe also added: "The villain has ambitions." ”

However, contrary to the expectations of the three old devils, Haruo Kitani, a communications staff officer, shook his head and said: "The clear-code telegram sent by Li Yunlong is not about shooting down more than 40 planes of the Locust Army this time. ”

"Oh? It's not about shooting down the locust plane, so what did Li Yunlong say? ”

Hearing what the communications staff officer said, Okamura Ninji became interested, and at the same time, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, this battle was personally commanded by him Okamura Ningji, and the two flying regiments returned with heavy losses, and if they were sent by the Eighth Route Army's clear code, it would not be a glorious thing for him.

Okamura Ninji said: "Read! ”

"Hey!"

Communications staff officer Osamu Kitani bowed his head first, and then picked up the telegram and read:

"To the compatriots of the whole country and the Japanese army invading China, up to now, our new regiment has killed 16 Japanese generals, namely Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi, Lieutenant General Muto Akira, Lieutenant General Hirata Kenkichi, Lieutenant General Iseki Yashi, Lieutenant General Kotobu, Major General Mizuki Tsuda, Major General Hattori Naotomi, Major General Koshibu Toranosuke, Major General Hirata Masaji, Major General Saburo Miura, Major General Ai Ai Yuan, Major General Toshikaze Omura, Major General Ito Shinpei, Major General Yoshio Azuki, Major General Yoshio Yoshio, Major General Yoshio Yoshio, Major General Yoshio, Rear Admiral Yoshio, Mischief, Japan... The devil wants to take revenge, so he came to the northwest of Jin to find me Li Yunlong. I heard that His Excellency Okamura Ningji, commander of the North China Front, was born in a martial arts family and is proficient in kendo, please wash your neck obediently, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will cut off your head sooner or later, and Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army..."

The telegram had four pages in total, and it took a while for Osamu Kitani to finish reading.

After reading the telegram, Osamu Kitani lowered his head and put the telegram on the conference table, and then took five or six steps back, he was afraid that Okamura Ninji would cut him down.

"Yaga, Ya Lu!"

As Osamu Kitani expected, Okamura Ninji couldn't help but be furious after listening to this clear telegram.

Okamura grabbed the blue and white porcelain teacup in front of him and threw it to the ground, and after a crisp sound of "pop", the blue and white porcelain teacup shattered in response, and the tea leaves and tea spilled on the ground.

The loss of more than 40 aircraft was nothing to the Japanese army.

But the loss of 16 generals, including 6 lieutenant generals, was immeasurable for the losses of the Japanese army, and the blow to the morale of the Japanese army was also immeasurable.

And most importantly, these 16 generals were all killed by the new regiment in the area under the jurisdiction of the North China Front.

Usually no one brings it up, but Li Yunlong mentioned it this time, and he announced it to the world.

This is simply a shame for the North China Front, and a shame for him Okamura Ningji.

What made Okamura Ningji even more angry was that Li Yunlong openly provoked him, saying that he wanted to cut off his head.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

"Your Excellency, General!" Tanabe Shengwu was furious: "Li Yunlong is too arrogant!" ”

There are three words: "I suggest dispatching ten divisions to sweep the base area in the northwest of Jin of the Eighth Route Army and completely eliminate Li Yunlong." ”

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Okamura Ninji remained silent.

The combat staff officers on the side did not dare to say a word.

As soon as Li Yunlong's telegram was sent, the North China Front's plan to sweep other Eighth Route Army base areas probably had to be shelved.

This telegram is equivalent to Li Yunlong riding on Okamura Ningji's head to humiliate him, and it depends on whether Okamura Ningji accepts the offer.

Okamura Ningji naturally wanted to endure the humiliation and sweep the other Eighth Route Army base areas first.

But the base camp and the locust will definitely see this clear telegram, and even if Okamura Ninji does not attack the northwest of Jin, the base camp will order him to attack the northwest of Jin and avenge the 16 generals.

"Li Yunlong, it's dead, it's dead..."

The angry Okamura Ninji directly exploded a sentence with a Chinese accent of Japanese.

……

At the same time.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

"There are already 16 locust generals who died in the new regiment of the Eighth Road?"

After listening to the communications staff officer read the telegram sent by Li Yunlong, Commander Iwamatsu Yoshio suddenly stood up from behind his desk, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Iwamatsu Yoshio knew that there were many locust generals who died in the new regiment of the Eighth Road, but he didn't expect that there were so many.

Within the Japanese Army, there has long been a saying that the North China Front Army will abolish its generals.

Being a general in the North China Front Army is a high-risk occupation, and it may be eliminated by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army one day.

Even the generals of other front armies are now reluctant to come to North China to observe and study.

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer bowed his head, these were the real Japanese army generals who had been killed by the new regiment.

Iwamatsu Yoshio was already afraid of death, and after listening to the content of this telegram, he was even more like sitting on pins and needles, like a man on his back.

Maybe one day, Li Yunlong will lead the main force of the Eighth Route Army to attack Taiyuan, and then take the head of his Iwamatsu Yoshio.

Iwamatsu Yoshio has no doubt that the current Li Yunlong definitely has this strength.

Although it was Okamura Ninji who provoked Li Yunlong on the telegram, if Li Yunlong was allowed to find an opportunity, he would definitely not be merciful to Iwamatsu Yoshiambi.

His head Iwamatsu Yoshio will definitely fall before Okamura Ninji.

Now the only way is either to resign from the post of commander of the First Army on his own initiative, or to strengthen the strength of the First Army, as well as the defense forces of Taiyuan.

Resigning from the post of commander of the First Army, I am afraid that no lieutenant general will be willing to take over, he will still have to be scolded for desertion, and his family will not be able to raise his head in Japan.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the communications staff officer:

"You immediately prepare a telegram that a large number of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have recently attacked the Zhengtai Railway, and in order to ensure the smooth operation of the Zhengtai Railway, you request the North China Front Army Command to transfer the 33rd Division from Zhongtiao Mountain back to the Zhengtai Railway to strengthen the defense of the Zhengtai Railway."

Of course, Iwamatsu Yoshio's real intention was to strengthen Taiyuan's defenses.

However, at present, Taiyuan's defense is already considered strong, and Iwamatsu Yoshio is embarrassed to say it directly, but as long as the 33rd Division is transferred back to the Zhengtai Railway, then it will be very close to Taiyuan.

Yoshio Iwamatsu sleeps peacefully.

Iwamatsu Yoshio said as the communications staff officer opened the folder and recorded, and then Iwamatsu Yoshio signed, and the communications staff officer closed the folder and turned to leave.

Watching the back of the communications staff officer disappear into the doorway, Iwamatsu Yoshio narrowed his eyes.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, do you want to deliberately lose the battle and let General Okamura Ninji change the commander?

……

Southeast of Jin.

Liao County.

Headquarters.

"There are already so many Japanese generals killed by the new regiment!?"

After reading the clear-code telegram sent by the new group, the chief and chief of staff were very surprised.

Every once in a while, the new regiment reports that it has killed a devil general, but the staff department of the headquarters has not counted how many devil generals have been killed.

Li Yunlong himself made such a statistic, and even sent a telegram in clear code, which immediately shocked the head of the headquarters.

"Kill 6 lieutenant generals and 10 major generals!" The chief of staff praised, "Li Yunlong, this kid is amazing!" ”

The chief pointed to the essence: "It was mainly Boss Chen behind Li Yunlong who provided weapons and intelligence, and Li Yunlong had the opportunity to kill so many Japanese generals." ”

"That's right." The chief of staff nodded, "However, weapons and intelligence are important, but to achieve such great results is inseparable from Li Yunlong's command and the bloody battles of the commanders and fighters of the new regiment." ”

After a pause, the chief of staff said again: "Li Yunlong, this kid is a little interesting, and he also said at the end of the telegram that he was going to cut off Okamura Ningji's head, Okamura Ningji had just personally commanded a defeated battle, if I were Okamura Ningji's old devil, seeing this clear coded telegram, it is estimated that my lungs would be blown up by Li Yunlong." ”

The chief smiled slightly: "If someone else said that they were going to cut off Okamura Ningji's head, it is estimated that everyone would think of him as a joke, but when Li Yunlong said this, it would be different, Li Yunlong would come to the truth." ”

"yes!" The chief of staff sighed with emotion: "Li Yunlong has already killed 16 devil generals, and it may be possible to cut off Okamura Ningji's head in the future." ”

That's when it happened.

A telegraph soldier walked in with a telegram in his hand and gave a military salute: "Report to the chief, a new secret telegram!" ”
