"Nani?"

When Yoshio Shinozuka received the defeat in Pear County, the Nishida United suffered heavy losses, and the United flags were captured, it was already two days later.

"Why report now!"

Yoshio Shinozuka broke the defense again,

Once again, he drew his katana and slashed it indiscriminately.

In June, the Yamashima Wing Flag was captured, and although the matter was suppressed, the wrath of the locusts and the base camp was not a simple few words, but a huge pressure.

From top to bottom, it's suffocating.

Thanks to the dissatisfaction of the base camp, Tada Jun passively resisted most of the generals, so the pressure on Yoshio Shinozuka was minimal.

But I can't come again!

This is the glory of the Locust Army, the Banner of the Wing!

Not a rag.

"Who is it?"

After the destruction, Yoshio Shinozuka regained his composure and asked who the culprit was.

"Independent regiment!"

"The commander is Li Yunlong!"

"It was this person who personally led the team to attack the camp of the flag protection team of the Xitian United Team Department and snatched the flag of the team."

The staff officer replied.

"Li Yunlong!"

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly got up again.

He had heard this name many times, and each time, it was the locust army that suffered a great loss.

"You say, Li Yunlong took a small group of troops and went straight to the headquarters of the Xitian United and snatched the flag of the wing?"

Yoshio Shinozuka noticed something was wrong with the staff officer's report.

Since the day before yesterday, the Xitian Wing pursued the Independent Regiment in the plains west of Lixian County, and the headquarters of the Wing also followed the artillery brigade to direct the attack, for the sake of safety, the flag protection team chose to stay in the barracks.

so

How did Li Yunlong know that the flag guard team did not follow the wing headquarters?

And also

How did Li Yunlong know the location of the United Flag?

Even, let the flag team not have time to burn the flag of the wing!

In order to avoid theft, even in the headquarters of the wing, only the chief of staff, deputy wing commander, wing commander and other officers, as well as the flag guard squad leader and deputy captain know the specific location.

"Hey!"

The staff officer bowed his head and replied.

"There are spies!"

"And it's within the Locust Army, or there are other channels to get the Wing Flag position."

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

The enemy is not terrible if it is strong, but the most terrible thing is that there are people on one's side who defect to the enemy.

"Huh?"

Suppressing the vigilance in his heart, Yoshio Shinozuka continued to read the battle report.

When he saw the detailed description of the artillery battle, his brow furrowed again.

"82 mortars with a range of up to five kilometers?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes widened.

"Hey."

The staff officer replied:

"According to the report of the Nishida Wing, after the war, they launched an investigation of the enemy's artillery positions, and from the remaining mortar shell loading shells, it is known that the enemy 82 mortars in the positions of the artillery brigade were about five kilometers away from the artillery brigade in a straight line."

"Moreover, from the analysis of traces at the scene, this 82-caliber mortar of the enemy is not very large."

"This..."

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Yoshio Shinozuka's forehead.

Five kilometers,

82 mortars with high mobility!

As the commander who directly commanded the First Army and fought against the Eighth Route Army many times, he knew too well how much of a threat the Eighth Route Army would be once it obtained this kind of mortar.

This is simply a magic weapon for mountain warfare.

"Also."

The staff officer glanced at his commander, paused, and continued to report the news:

"According to the report of the Nishida United, it is suspected that the 60 mortars of the Independent Regiment were also reequipped with new models, with a firing range of more than two and a half thousand meters."

"It's also very maneuverable."

"And,"

The staff officer glanced at the cold sweat on his commander's forehead again and said:

"It is suspected that the enemy is equipped with a large number of walkie-talkies for artillery firing, otherwise it would not have been possible to hit the position of the artillery brigade of the Westfield Wing so accurately."

After speaking, the staff officer actually stood firmly, and his heart was ready to face the storm.

But contrary to his expectations, Yoshio Shinozuka did not become angry, but after being silent for a while, he said in a calm tone:

"It seems that this guy standing behind the dirt road has very strong technical strength!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, as a lieutenant general, commander of the First Army, commanding more than 70,000 devil soldiers, naturally has a certain technical vision,

In his opinion,

82 mortars for five kilometers,

Lightweight enough,

The accuracy is also very good,

With the ability of the Locust Empire, it can also be studied, and it is enough to lengthen the barrel and lengthen the charge, which is nothing more than high cost and high manufacturing difficulty.

But Yoshio Shinozuka belongs to this era after all.

In his opinion, at this time, the 5-kilometer range 82 mortars equipped by the independent regiment, no matter how ultra-light, would not be less than one hundred and twenty kilograms.

The mobility is about the same as that of the Type 92 infantry gun.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he would not have thought that there are 82 mortars in the world with a total weight of less than forty kilograms, a firing range of more than five kilometers, and even an accuracy of the Krupp artillery of the last century.

"Hey."

The staff officer didn't know how to respond, so he could only snort.

"Call the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff."

Yoshio Shinozuka said to the staff officer.

The battle in Lixian made Yoshio Shinozuka know one thing again - the Locust Army still seriously underestimated the strength of the supporters behind the Tsubachi Road, and could actually provide 82 mortars with a range of five kilometers.

Before the offensive can be launched, he needs more detailed information.

Therefore, it is necessary to send senior military officers to investigate, obtain detailed information, and analyze and verify it.

and

There may be, Imperial spies lurking within the Westfield Wing.

So, Yoshio Shinozuka decided to send a joint investigation team of the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff, and considering the real-time nature of the investigation, the two chiefs of staff set off on the same day.

···

"Two thousand oceans!"

"Transporting five batches of supplies."

Meanwhile.

Yang Spring.

The leader of the third squadron of the Yangquan Railway Brigade looked at the cash silver in his eyes of two hundred oceans, and then looked at a Republican in front of him, and squinted his eyes.

"Yes."

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji, who was dressed as a businessman, was a little nervous.

The newspaper rotary printing press is too large, and the ink, newsprint, is also very heavy, and it is too difficult and slow to transport it by underground transportation lines.

The risk of being discovered by devils is high.

The safest way is to take rail transportation.

In order to collect money, raise military spending, and realize the so-called military station plan in North China, the devils have opened up the Zhengtai Line for civilian transportation, and there will be several passenger trains passing through every day, and there is a certain freight capacity.

But these trains will be strictly inspected by devils.

The newspaper rotary printing press, as well as ink and newsprint, are all biased towards restricting materials, and once discovered, the devil has a certain possibility of direct confiscation, so it is necessary to open the devil's joint.

After analysis, the Yangquan organization finally chose this new male Shangzhi.

This person has been devalued repeatedly, it is impossible to be the bait of the special high-tech, and he is also very greedy for money, as soon as he takes the position, he will make a lot of money, and some prohibited materials will be released when he is given money.

For this.

The shopkeeper of Yao Kee decided to contact him personally.

Two Thousand Oceans··

The man's wisdom is weighing in his heart.

There is no doubt that the person in front of you must be Dirt Eight Roads!

But even if he arrests this person, it is just a commendation from his superiors, and then the officer is reinstated, and he becomes the leader of a front-line infantry squadron again, working for the locusts?

A few tens of yen per month?

Most of the seizures were worthless materials.

And then I don't know that day, I died in that unknown trench, with only one name, and I don't know if there was an urn of his composition and returned home.

Or··

Take these two thousand oceans!

Two thousand oceans, he is a squadron leader, and it will take several years to praise it.

"I want two thousand five hundred oceans."

The man put away the two hundred oceans and said:

"I'm going to check the supplies."

As long as it's not dangerous materials such as bombs, it doesn't matter, he can handle it. But if it's explosives, raw materials, etc., then you can't agree.

"Deal."

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji smiled slightly, and his Japanese was pure and fluent.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

"Will we have a chance to work together in the future?"

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji once again took out a hundred oceans and pushed it to the male wisdom.

Now that the army is well funded, with three million oceans a month, it is important to maintain a transportation channel to purchase supplies from the rear with free hands.

"As long as the ministry violates the ban on locust transportation, as long as the price is reasonable, of course it can."

The man smiled and accepted a hundred oceans.

"Happy working together!"

Shopkeeper Yao Ji raised the tea in his hand.

Tomotomo also raised the tea in his hand.

"What's wrong with your army?"

Looking at the devil who was strengthening patrols and vigilance outside the window, the shopkeeper Yao Ji asked casually.

"The chief of staff of our First Army and the deputy chief of staff will pass through Yangquan tomorrow afternoon to strengthen vigilance."

As soon as he made a move, it was a three-hundred-ocean greeting gift, as well as a two-thousand-five-hundred-ocean business, although the person in front of him was a dirt eight road, but he didn't think he was a rich man, for the sake of money, for future cooperation, the man revealed some information to show his strength.

"I see."

The shopkeeper Yao Ji's tone was calm, but his heart was turbulent, and he was almost about to cheer.

Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Army of the Devils!

No

It is a large ocean of three million ninety percent and five feet of silver every month to pass through Yangquan!

Night

The shopkeeper of Yao Kee, who returned to Yao Kee's soy sauce shop, passed and sent a report to the headquarters on the radio station he had just obtained.

···

"Good news, boss."

Half an hour later, the deputy general staff officer rushed into the conference room of the headquarters in a hurry.

At this point,

The boss and a few others are in a meeting to study the economic operations in the southern Hebei base area.

Even if it is conservatively estimated, it will take 5 million dollars to achieve the predetermined goal of the currency war -- to remove miscellaneous currency and restore the value of the currency in May.

Even, the follow-up process has to invest funds.

"Are we giving up on a goal?"

"For example, a return to the value of the currency in May?"

"In this way, we only need to consume two million oceans."

It was proposed during the meeting.

In fact, by eliminating all kinds of miscellaneous currencies and unifying the border currency, the economic situation can be eased, the financial strength of the base areas in southern Hebei can be greatly enhanced, and only two million oceans will be consumed.

"Bringing back the value of the currency will not be of much benefit to the base areas in southern Hebei."

Another person agreed,

He continued:

"Currency appreciation is indeed beneficial to the people, and it can also directly enhance the people's trust in the southern Hebei currency and establish the prestige of our border currency."

"But now that there is a general depreciation of various currencies, it is good to maintain it and not continue to depreciate."
