Chapter Seventy-Two: Today I'm going to be Napoleon

After arranging the city defense work, Iwamatsu Yoshio did not immediately leave the combat conference room. The old devil silently paced to the window, looking out to the northeast of the city.

Over there is the industrial zone of Taiyuan, where the light and heavy industries of the entire city are concentrated. After a moment of contemplation, he gave a new order with great pain:

"Arrange for the samurai to plant explosives in various factories, and don't hesitate to detonate the bombs immediately!"

"These things, even if we destroy them all, we can't leave them to the Eighth Route Army! Otherwise, the situation of the younger country in North China will only intensify. โ€

As soon as these words came out, the staff officers all gasped, they didn't expect their commander to act so ruthlessly.

Although Taiyuan's industrial structure is deformed, it can be regarded as complete in military and civilian industries. As long as there are sufficient raw materials, we can continuously produce the materials needed by the younger country.

With such an important city, it can be said that there are not even a few in the mainland. The commander of his own country actually said that he would blow it up, but it is conceivable that the situation has reached the most serious point.

But at this moment, a correspondent ran in from outside the door:

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, call from the base camp! The six generals of Shun Hata and the Minister of the Land Shogun personally ordered us to hold Taiyuan for a month, and strictly forbade the destruction of any equipment in the city. โ€

"At that time, the Kwantung Army, the Mongolian Army, and the troops directly under the North China Front Army will all come to support and launch an attack on all units of the Eighth Route Army from the east and north."

"Long live the Japanese brother, long live Your Majesty the Locust."

With the arrival of new news, the battle conference room suddenly became chaotic, and the devils present turned into face-changing masters one after another.

As a mid-to-high-ranking commander with bushido in his mind, none of them were afraid of death, and he was ready to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor at any time.

But if there is a chance to live, who wouldn't want to fight for it?

Even Iwamatsu Yoshio, the commander of the First Army, who was ready to die, trembled with excitement after reading the telegram.

This old devil is very confident in the city wall of Taiyuan, if he only holds on for a month, he thinks that it is not too difficult to do.

It's better to die than to live, and it's a big deal to be removed from your post and return to your hometown to join the reserves.

Look at Yoshio Shinozuka, who is still living well in the Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

After adjusting his state and facial expressions, Iwamatsu Yoshio immediately ordered the correspondent in high spirits:

"Call back to the six generals of Hata Jun and Lu Xiang, and tell the two adults that we will definitely defend Taiyuan City to the death, and we are ready to break the jade of all the staff, and never retreat!"

Iwamatsu Yoshio paused, and then said to the people in the war room: "We still have to be prepared with both hands, and the bomb we just talked about still needs to be arranged." Before the rescue force arrives, we must not take it lightly, especially the light industrial zone in Taiyuan! โ€

In the opinion of this old devil, compared with the arsenal that can produce various types of guns, ammunition and large-caliber heavy artillery, the Eighth Route Army is likely to pay more attention to the civilian labor area.

After all, the other party can also make weapons themselves, and the production capacity is definitely not lower than that of the Taiyuan Arsenal.

However, the development of migrant workers in the Eighth Route Army is much behind, and so far there is only one kind of bicycle that can be used. As a belligerent, it is certainly not wrong not to let the other side agree.

"Hey!"

After the signal soldiers left, Iwamatsu Yoshio, who had been swept away from the haze, came to the sand table.

At this time, the small blue flags representing the troops stationed in Mongolia, the Kwantung Army, and the North China Front Army were already planted on their respective marching routes. From a distance, it looks like the Eighth Route Army has been wrapped in dumplings unconsciously.

Using itself as bait, he held on to the strategic area of Taiyuan and induced the enemy troops to move towards him. As long as it can be defended, when the time is ripe, it can cooperate with friendly troops to counter-encircle the enemy.

"Yo Xi! It is the center of flowering! โ€

As soon as the words came out, the old devil immediately closed his mouth. This place in North China is a bit evil, and all the generals who think they are using the center to blossom tactics have died on the battlefield without exception.

As a lieutenant general in the Japanese army, Iwamatsu Yoshio studied the military history of France a lot. After a few seconds, another word came to him.

"It's the Battle of the Three Emperors! Today I am Napoleon! โ€

Taiyuan, Dingxiang Building.

This is the most luxurious restaurant in Shanxi, and it is a century-old restaurant with secret sauce donkey meat as its specialty.

It's a pity that since mid-May, business in the city other than food has not been very good, and almost no one comes to the restaurant to consume.

After all, the recent mountain rain is coming, and the news that the Eighth Route Army is about to attack the city is spreading everywhere.

In order to protect the lives and property of themselves and their families, ordinary people gradually reduce the frequency of going out, so as not to anger those devils patrolling the streets and get on fire.

In the restaurant, a young man in a coarse cloth coat kept walking back and forth in place, looking like he was on pins and needles.

"Shopkeeper, Captain Zheng won't have an accident, right? At this point in time, he would have returned with his comrades a long time ago. โ€

"Now the streets are full of devilish gendarmes and patrols. In case there are three longs and two shorts, how can we explain to Captain Wang of the county brigade. โ€

Dingxiang Building became the underground transportation station of the Eighth Route Army as early as two years ago.

It is necessary to purchase fresh ingredients every day, and it is very convenient for our military intelligence officers to carry out their work. The head of Zheng in the mouth of the guy is naturally Zheng Yingqi of the divisional special service group.

Taiyuan is not only the provincial capital, but also the city with the best industrial base in the province.

Take Taiyuan Arsenal as an example, it is known as the three major arsenals of the Republic of China along with Fengtian and Hanyang.

Yan Laoxi was able to control Jin Province for 38 years, which was directly related to the fact that the arsenal made weapons and ammunition for him, so as to recruit troops and expand his power.

Before the fall of Taiyuan, the Jin Department moved more than 1,000 small machine tools and more than 200 power motors.

This figure was only 2% of the total property, and all the remaining equipment in the factory fell into the hands of the Japanese.

As early as the first day of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the deputy commander-in-chief made a plan to attack the city of Taiyuan.

In order to ensure that the major factories would not be destroyed by the devils who jumped over the wall in a hurry, the division headquarters sent the most effective special service group into the city in advance, and only waited for the main force to launch an attack.

Looking at the guy who was swaying in front of him, the shopkeeper got up and grabbed the other party.

"Phew! What nonsense! Captain Zheng is an elite from the headquarters, and the little devil is something. โ€

"I guess they have something important to do, and they are delayed somewhere. Okay, less to say. The wind is very tight in the city, so be careful that the walls have ears. โ€

But at this moment, the door of the restaurant was violently kicked open from the outside. Three people who didn't look decent barged in with a swagger.

The one at the head was skinny and skinny, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

His eyes are small and thin, coupled with two mustaches, he is simply a peerless traitor face that occurs once in a thousand years.

Although the arrival of the uninvited guest surprised the shopkeeper very much. But as half of the Eighth Route Army, he forced his composure and took the initiative to greet him:

"Yo, isn't this Captain Jia? What is the wind that blows you? โ€

"What to eat today, is it still the old rule? Xiao Cai! Quickly cut three catties of donkey meat, and then beat two catties of liquor. โ€

Due to the vast territory of the Republic of China, with the advance of the Japanese army's war of aggression, their troops were gradually stretched.

In order to manage the law and order in the occupied areas, the devils carried out the strategy of using China to contain China, and set up a number of puppet army units in various places.

Among these various and diverse puppet armies, there are not only dog thieves who are desperate to work for the invaders, but also people who are forced to eat without help.

Captain Jia is one of the many puppet soldiers. He has 600 men under his command, mainly responsible for security and investigation in Taiyuan City.

According to this person's previous urine nature, he will definitely get carried away when he hears that there is wine and meat. The shopkeeper prepares to get them drunk in order not to bump into Zheng Yingqi, who has returned from the investigation.

But something unexpected happened, and the other party looked around, and then whispered: "Don't drink today, drink and delay things." I came to see Head Zheng to talk about business, why didn't I see others? โ€

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper and the guy were secretly shocked. They hurriedly adjusted their expressions and said with a smile:

"Captain Zheng? Why haven't you heard of it before?

"Is this our new commander of the Imperial Army? If you want to find someone to go to the headquarters, I'm a restaurant. โ€

Looking at the two who were still performing hard, Captain Jia shook his head helplessly. He stretched out his hand and made an eight, and said in a warm voice:

"I abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and now I am an informant of the Eighth Route Army."

"Don't believe it, I have a token from Head Zheng. Today, he asked me to come and listen to the battle plan, so if it doesn't work, I'll wait a little longer. โ€

After receiving the token, the shopkeeper and Cai's eyes widened.

The two had seen this strangely shaped whistle on Zheng Yingqi's neck before. With the other party's ability, unless he takes the initiative to hand it over, otherwise outsiders have no chance to get it.

Fortunately, at this time, the Lord finally returned.

Seeing Captain Jia waiting in the hall, Zheng Yingqi showed a heartfelt smile. Without him, just because of that unprecedented face.

It stands to reason that a puppet army like Jia Gui, who eats and drinks on weekdays, has a lollipop addiction, is full of swearing, and has a problematic style, it is absolutely impossible for him to become an informant of the Eighth Route Army.

In the post-war public trial, whether or not you can survive depends on what you have done in the past.

According to the results of the preliminary investigation, this person actually hated the Japanese army extremely much. Although there were many bad things, he never used his position to slaughter the people.

In addition, the other party's duties are security and detective, and even in wartime, they can move around the city at will, which is very much in line with the requirements of the special service battalion for tasks.

"It seems that you are all acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce each other."

"Jia Gui, from noon today, take care of each of your subordinates, and no one is allowed to leave the barracks without my order."

"After lunch, bring out your most trusted lieutenant. Our people will change into appropriate clothes and patrol the streets with you to wait for the right time. โ€

I haven't had any book reviews lately, and none of the books are available, so the books aren't cool.

The reason for the late hair was that I was getting cold. After staying up all night for four consecutive nights, my body couldn't stand it, so I adjusted my schedule and rest.

In the future, I can only suffer my boss.

There are two more shifts today, go to work and write!
