"Nani?"

"Lost contact at Fanzhuang Station?"

Saito Saburo received the report, and his face gradually darkened.

Something went wrong.

It's still a big deal.

The Tubalu offensive is so fierce!

Fanzhuang Station is actually missing!

How long has this been......

Don't even think about it, it's definitely the station that is occupied by Dirt Eight Road.

Now it's in trouble.

The station was occupied. means that the railway line is interrupted.

Hurriedly check the map.

Worst!

Two separate mixed brigades have not yet arrived. There is no possibility of returning to the station in a short period of time.

They had to get off at a nearby station and then attack and advance towards Van Trang station. It's very time-consuming. No matter how fast you act, you have to delay it for two or three days.

Strange, where did the dirt eight roads come from? So able to fight?

Is it from the northwest of Jin?

Or is it from Jinchaji in the east?

Or is it the wild eight roads that came from other places?

"Please Takugawa Daisa."

"Hello!"

The staff officer turned and went.

Soon after, a large officer arrived.

He is Takukawa. It is the General Staff that is specifically responsible for intelligence work. is also Saito's confidant.

Takugawa Jiro was the head of the Intelligence Division of the General Staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army. It is also the high foot of the veteran spy Kenji Dohihara. It's the younger brother of Kagesa Zhenzhao. There is also a close connection with the two of the Eagles.

"Fanzhuang station is missing."

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I already know. His Excellency Hata Osaku may have served His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Which part of the dirt road was made?"

"Judging from the information we have so far, it may be the troops of the Jinchaji Military Region on the Tuba Road."

"Specific number ......"

"It may be the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Ping'an County."

"Probably ......"

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Imperial Army stationed at the station has not figured out which part of the Dirt Eighth Road is attacking them......

"Your ......"

Saburo Saito said stupidly.

So many excuses. Actually, I just don't know.

But there is no way to blame.

Because Jiro Takugawa doesn't know, it means that other people don't know either.

Blaming Takukawa Jiro is actually tantamount to blaming all the intelligence agencies, as well as various secret agencies. Others also want to save face.

If you really want to blame, it is also the commander Yoshio Shinozuka who comes forward.

As chief of staff, he is in the same line as the intelligence service. Your own people don't scold your own people.

However, intelligence still needs to be done.

If you don't figure out what the origin of the dirt road is, everyone can't sleep.

You can destroy a station today, but what about tomorrow?

Isn't it to paralyze the railway line?

In the long run, won't Taiyuan be threatened?

So......

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Lan Agency has gone to help investigate."

"Okay!"

Saburo Saito softened his tone.

Lan Agency's and Zhiying II are still quite capable.

If he is willing to come forward to help, he should be able to further understand the details of the dirt eight roads......

"Report!"

Suddenly I heard footsteps.

Then I saw a staff officer hurrying over. A telegram in his hand.

So he stopped talking. Motioned to Takukawa to pick up the telegram.

Takukawa took the telegram. Quickly glanced at it. His face suddenly turned weird.

"What's the situation?" Saburo Saito noticed.

"There are a lot of airdrops in Ping'an County." Takugawa Jiro said in surprise, "But I don't know who airdropped." ”

"Nani?" Saburo Saito was taken aback.

Is there an airdrop on Dirt Eight Road?

No, someone actually airdropped supplies to Tubalu?

What's going on?

Never before.

Bring the telegram. Read it carefully.

That's right, it was sent by a spy hidden in Ping'an County. Said that he saw the airdrop with his own eyes.

It is not weapons and equipment that are airdropped. It is a lot of cotton. There are thousands of catties. Now Tsuchihachi is organizing manpower and sewing it into a military uniform. Obviously, there is a big need to expand the team.

The spy report also mentioned that the weapons and equipment of the new regiment of Tubalu have been greatly improved, and there is sufficient ammunition.

Probably also obtained through airdrops.

"Yaga ......"

Saburo Saito frowned.

This news can be said to be good or bad.

Well, it's finally solved a puzzle. That's why Tsuchihachi Road has suddenly been active lately.

It turned out that a large amount of weapons and ammunition were obtained. So the combat effectiveness is multiplied. So it will be attacked everywhere.

It's hard to say, because this airdrop is terrible.

I don't know who is airdropping. It is also not known where the airdrop came from.

I didn't listen to the report of the aviation that there were enemy aircraft activities in the northwest area of Shanxi! How does the airdrop work?

Is it a one-time airdrop?

Or a long-term airdrop?

Will there be any in the future?

How many?

What are the airdrops?

How much weapons and equipment did the Dirt Eight Road acquire?

These questions are important.

"Immediately contact the aviation side to verify the situation."

"If the situation is true, also ask the aviation to strengthen the detection of the sky and prevent the enemy from airdropping."

Saburo Saito quickly ordered.

Takugawa Jiro turned to leave.

This news also made the intelligence department very nervous.

In his opinion, this is actually very bad news.

For a long time, the fighting will of the earth eight roads, as well as the technical and tactical level are extremely high. The only thing is that there is a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition.

How did the title of Three Guns and Eight Roads come about? It is a lot of Eighth Route Army troops, and a gun only has three bullets. It's gone. Bayonets must be spelled. The Japanese had the advantage of weapons and could easily repel them.

However, if the Tsuchibachi Road suddenly obtained a large amount of weapons and ammunition, the advantage of the Japanese army would not be there. It even becomes a disadvantage. That's bad.

Don't say it's continuing to sweep the Tubalu base area. Even if it is the entire northwest of Jin, or even the entire Jin Province, I am afraid that it may not be able to be saved......

Terrible.

Saburo Saito pondered for a moment and came to report Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka is more calm. I see.

It's just an airdrop.

How useful can airdrops be? How many supplies can be airdropped?

"Commander, the ...... lost contact at Fanzhuang Station"

"Order the field heavy artillery wing to go north to assist in recovering Fanzhuang Station and recovering Ping'an County."

"Yes!"

"Order the aviation to go out! Large-scale reconnaissance of the movement of the Dirt Eight Road! ”

"Yes!"

Yoshio Shinozuka methodical arrangement.

Saburo Saito secretly admired. After all, it was the commander, and he had been prepared.

The field heavy artillery wing was the watchman of the First Army. Armed with 24 105-mm heavy cannons. It is a very powerful attacking force.

There were no fortifications that could hold back the bombardment of 105-mm heavy cannons.

There were also only two such heavy artillery wings in the entire First Army. It can be said that it is very precious.

In addition, there is a separate field heavy artillery wing. Armed with 24 howitzers of 150 guns. This is the treasure of the First Army.

The huge Jin Province, the huge First Army, and the three artillery wings......

Oh, and the 20th Division stationed in Yuncheng also had a heavy artillery wing. However, this 20th Division, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of the First Army, was actually directly under the command of the North China Front Army. Yoshio Shinozuka didn't just ask about the 20th Division. All of them were under the direct command of Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front.

Others are permanent divisions and time-honored brands. Ordinary people are not qualified to command.

"Help me get Yamamoto Daisa......"

"Your Excellency, Yamamoto Daisa has not yet returned from his mission."

"Then send him a telegram and ask him to reconnoiter the airdrop on the dirt road. Find out the person who contacted the airdrop. ”

"Yes!"

Saburo Saito agreed.

The commander saw the subtleties and hit the nail on the head.

If you want to airdrop, you must have a liaison. Otherwise, the plane is just a blind throw.

So, how did Dirt Eight Road contact the airdrop?

There must be a solution.

Cracking this method may curb the airdrop.

Very good.

But......

Kazuki Yamamoto......

Would you be willing to do it?

This is a very "humble" trifle.

No countertops.

There are no feats either.

Agent Yamamoto's eyes are above the top and they are bent on doing great things!

Want to be a blockbuster.

I thought it would be great to come back from studying in Germany.

At every turn, he is going to attack the headquarters of the prefect of the Second World War Zone, or the headquarters of Tubalu, or even the official residence of the president of the state government on the other side of the mountain city.

Looking for an airdrop liaison?

Isn't it overkill?

But it doesn't matter. He is only responsible for heralding.

Actually, it would be better if Kazuki Yamamoto was disobedient. If you don't obey, sooner or later you will be kicked into the reserves.

The higher you stand, the harder you fall!
