Jinyang City.

The intelligence officers of the Little Devil Special High School have always regarded radio stations as an important channel for gathering information.

As soon as the radio station we organized broadcast the results of the Independent Regiment, they immediately recorded it in full and reported it to the person in charge, Kenji Shi Tai.

When Shi Taikenji saw this information, he was immediately startled and hurriedly rushed to the headquarters of the First Army.

And at this time, in the headquarters, Junyuki Hanaya, chief of staff of the First Army, was like an ant on a hot pot.

Since the Eighth Brigade reported the occupation of Heyuan County, it has lost contact with each other for more than a whole day.

He ordered the telegraph operator to call the radio of the Eighth Brigade as desperately as possible, but there was no response.

This situation suddenly gave him a bad premonition.

But even more, it was incredible, and he said in his heart: Could it be that Tubalu is so powerful that it can defeat the Eighth Brigade of thousands of people?

Although this brigade is a second-line guard unit formed in northern Hebei, and most of the soldiers are supplementary soldiers and reserves, it is not so much that it can't even send a farewell telegram, right?

In desperation, he could only send a report to the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Formation, which had just traveled a long distance and was rushing to Shuiquan from the Jinnan front, asking them to send someone to Heyuan County to check the situation after they arrived at Shuiquan.

He naturally didn't know that Kurata Shizuyuki, who was now in charge of the military affairs of the remnants of the Eighth Brigade, was also confused, didn't His Excellency the Commander of the Water Source Brigade send a team to Shuiquan to call the telegraph operator and radio station before?

Why haven't you come back for so long?

Could it be those bastards grinding foreign workers on the road?

They all deserve to commit suicide!

……

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, important information!"

Kenji Ishita came to Junyuki Hanaya's office out of breath.

When Junichi Hanaya saw this guy's expression, he knew that it must be bad news, so he quickly restrained the panic in his heart and asked in a deep voice:

"What drop of intelligence?"

"On the side of Tuba Road, the battle report of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment was broadcast, and they claimed that in Heyuan County, more than 6,000 warriors of our locust army had been wiped out."

Kenji Shi Tai said carefully.

"Nani?

More than 6,000 people?

How is this possible?

Falsehood!

It must be a lie!

Tu Balu is falsely reporting his exploits!

Eight grid tooth road! ”

Junyuki Hanaya roared angrily.

Although he knew that the 3,000-strong waste gendarmerie wing in Heyuan County was finished, where did the loss of the remaining 3,000 people come from?

Even if the brigade of Zhenmu Takeshi is counted, it is only 4,000 people!

"They also claimed that the 225th Wing's flag had been captured."

Kenji Shi Tai wanted to cry a little.

What kind of outrageous news is this, why do you want me to know it???

As he spoke, he was worried that Junyuki Hanaya would draw a knife against him, and stared at the other party cautiously, ready to flee at any time.

As an intelligence officer, he is not one of those fools in the army who stands up straight even when he is killed.

Hearing this big bomb, Junyuki Hanaya was so shocked that his eyes almost fell, and then a shocking anger rushed straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

"Nani?

Wing flags?

Zhenmu Takeshi, this bastard, he didn't burn the flag of the wing???

Eight grid tooth road!

Stupid bastards!

He has tarnished the glory of my First Army! ……”

He knew the news that the wing headquarters of the 225th Wing and the second brigade were wiped out together, but he didn't expect that Zhenmu Takeshi was so stupid that he didn't even burn the wing flag.

If Zhenmu Wuzhi heard his roar in hell, he would definitely lift the coffin board and jump out and reply: I am more wronged than Dou E!

Why don't I want to burn?

That dirt road didn't give me a chance to burn!

Junyuki Hanaya scolded Zhenmu Takeshi for half an hour, scolding himself so much that his mouth was dry and he was exhausted.

He was about to arrange for the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Okamura Tsuning, taking the blame and resigning, but seeing that Kenji Shi Tai hadn't left yet, he asked angrily:

"Shi Taijun, do you have any bad news to tell me?"

Shi Taikenji saw that the other party's eyes were vaguely murderous, and hurriedly handed him the information in his hand:

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, General Yoshishige Mizumi's jade is broken.

This is a detailed battle report broadcast by the Tu Hachi Road side, please check it out.

He retired first. ”

Then he turned around and walked away.

When Hanaya Junzhi heard that Shui Yuan Yi had died, he was naturally shocked.

Over the years, one of the generals of the locust army is counted as one, and it is not more than the number of hands, right?

Now it's another jade shatter??

He didn't care that Shi Taijian ran faster than a rabbit, snatched the information handed by the other party, opened it and checked it carefully, but less than a minute later, he looked up to the sky and roared:

"Eight Tooth Road!

Water source is right, this idiot!

Rubbish!

An additional brigade of a tank squadron and a mountain artillery squadron could not defeat a basic regiment on the Tuba Road!

If the brigade commanders of the locust army are all such waste, then when will the great cause of my locust army be accomplished? ”

If it weren't for the fact that Sumizu Yoshige had already been killed, he would have wanted to immediately order this waste to commit suicide immediately and serve His Majesty the Locust.

……

After an hour of incompetence and rage in his office, Junyuki Hanaya's face turned ashen, and he called a telecommunications staff officer and ordered:

"Help me send a report to General Okamura, I, Junyuki Hanaya, am incompetent and incompetent for the post of chief of staff of the First Army, and request to be transferred to the reserve!"

Hearing this order, the telecommunications staff officer's face suddenly changed greatly, but he didn't dare to say anything, and nodded in fright.

After arranging this, Hanaya Junyuki asked people to prepare a car and drove towards the Jinyang City Army Hospital.

……

At this moment, in the army hospital, Kazuo Shinozuka is playing Go with Kazuki Yamamoto under the eaves, the sun is very good, and the two are very relaxed.

This is also the atmosphere of middle and senior officers in the Little Devil Army, who always like to be vassal.

In fact, they are all stinky chess baskets.

And now Kazuo Shinozuka is only accompanied by the loyal dog of Yamamoto Kazuki.

At this time, an orderly came over and reported:

"Your Excellency Commander, the broadcast of the Tuba Road is openly and looping a battle report!"

Although Kazuo Shinozuka hid in the hospital to hide and relax, he was still paying close attention to the things outside, and when he heard such a solemn report from the orderly, he immediately frowned and ordered:

"Bring the radio over and turn it on!"

The orderly did as he was told, and soon, Kazuo Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto both heard the broadcast that shocked them.

Hearing such a big defeat, Kazuo Shinozuka couldn't help but feel angry, took off the chessboard, and scolded angrily:

"Yaga!

Two fools, Takeshi Zhenmu and Yoshishige Minami, buried more than 3,000 locust warriors! ”

Although there were more than 3,000 members of the gendarmerie wing in Heyuan County, they were all ronins and expatriates, and they had no combat effectiveness, so he didn't care.

But the infantry brigade of the 225th Wing and the 2,000 people of the 8th Brigade are all veterans of training!

I can't help him not have liver pain!

Kazuki Yamamoto couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Your Excellency Commander, it's Li Yunlong's independent regiment again!

This man's tactical command skills are truly amazing!

With the strength of a regiment, such a victory was fought! ”

"Yes, this person has outstanding ability, and he is really the target that my First Army should prioritize to eradicate.

Because of this person, the situation of our locust army in the northwest of Shanxi is already very bad. ”

Kazuo Shinozuka sighed.

As the commander of this First Army for several years, the mountains and rivers of this Jin land have long been engraved in his mind, and at this moment, when he thinks about the situation in the Heyuan area, he feels extremely tricky.

Although during this time, he took the initiative to give up his authority and let Junyuki Hanaya carry the thunder outside, but he was also thinking about how to clear the eight roads of Jindi.

Once Junyuki Hanaya's tool man is consumed and his use value is exhausted, he will stage the drama of the return of the king, and when the time comes, the eight-way problem will be a headache for him.

But even if he thought about it day and night for months, he didn't come up with any good solution.

Mobilize the army of several divisions and regiments to clear it, drill into the mountains on the eighth road, and run away without a trace.

Send brigade-sized troops into the mountains separately, and this independent regiment can eat every regiment!

Obviously, he has strictly ordered to block the material delivery channel of Tuba Road, but the opponent's weapons and equipment are getting stronger and stronger!

It's outrageous!

"Your Excellency, the people of the special high school got a photo of Li Yunlong from Heyuan County a few days ago, and they are stepping up their deployment to find loopholes in this independent regiment.

Once found, the inferior will lead the special team, attack their regimental headquarters, and bring back Li Yunlong's head!

Once Li Yunlong is eliminated, this independent regiment will definitely collapse! ”

Yamamoto Kazuki saw that his benefactor's father was very worried, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Oh, Li Yunlong's photo?

Yo Xi, show me it! ”

Kazuo Shinozuka was very curious.

For Li Yunlong, a bastard who has made countless troubles for himself, he really can't immediately break his body into pieces!

Kazuki Yamamoto hurriedly took out a black and white photo from his pocket and explained:

"The previous time Hirata Ichiro held a birthday party in Juxian Tower, Heyuan County, Li Yunlong sneaked in and launched an attack, killing most of the officers of the temporary gendarmerie wing, but he didn't know that he had been photographed by our photographer."

"Yaga!

It's not a pity that Ichiro Hirata died!

Now that the battle situation of our locust army on the Jinnan front is so tense, he actually dares to hold a birthday banquet in the rear, what a fool! ”

Kazuo Shinozuka scolded while reaching out to take the photo, and then exclaimed:

"This Li Yunlong turned out to be a peasant, not like a middle-level general at all!

The employment of Tubalu is really difficult to understand! ”

"That's true.

These dirt roads are bold and cunning, brave and cautious!

Obviously they are uneducated mud legs, but when I study their tactics, I find that they are very consistent with military theories, and they are indeed very difficult. ”

Kazuki Yamamoto had to bow his proud head.

He felt very hurt by the deflated hands of the Independent Regiment repeatedly.

……

While the two were talking, the guards outside came to report:

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff requests to see you."

Hearing this, Kazuo Shinozuka immediately walked into the house, climbed into the hospital bed and lay down, pretending to be half-dead, before arranging:

"Please come in."

After a while, Junyuki Hanatani came in and took the initiative to admit that he wanted to ask Kazuo Shinozuka to be discharged from the hospital and preside over the affairs of the First Army.

Of course, Kazuo Shinozuka was unwilling, and said that he was not in good health and couldn't get out of bed, so he asked him to continue to preside over the First Army.

Junyuki Hanaya secretly wondered to himself, this old guy must have known the news of the defeat of the 8th Brigade, and he was unwilling to come out and take the blame for himself.

The two of them pulled to the limit, and in the end, Junyuki Hanaya was still disappointed.

However, after he walked out of the hospital, he couldn't help muttering:

"Your Excellency Commander thinks you can hide by pretending to be sick?

Hmph, when General Okamura's order comes, I see if you still pretend to be sick! ”

However, he was a little melancholy when he thought that if Okamura Tsunin agreed to his telegram to transfer to the reserves, his military career would be over.

A few months ago, I still came to the First Army with great ambition and was ready to make a big move, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, I would be beaten by Tubalu in turn, and I wanted to get out of the way, which was outrageous!

He said in his heart: If Zhang Xiaoliuzi of Liaodong had the courage of any regiment commander or even battalion commander of Tubalu, I am afraid that his achievements back then would not have been established!

……

In Kazuo Shinozuka's ward, Kazuki Yamamoto saw Junyuki Hanaya gone, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Your Excellency, why did you refuse?

Now the situation of our First Army is not optimistic, continue to let His Excellency the Chief of Staff toss, I am afraid that Jinyang City will face the threat of the Eighth Road. ”

"Hmph, I'm going to wait for His Excellency Commander Okamura to completely lose patience with Hanaya-kun.

Only then will he give me enough reinforcements to deal with these abominable dirt roads! ”

Kazuo Shinozuka's expression on his face with Ji-joo in his hand.

"Isn't General Okamura disappointed in His Excellency the Chief of Staff now?"

Kazuki Yamamoto was a little surprised.

This Junyuki Hanaya has suffered a series of failures recently and suffered heavy losses, so the impression in General Okamura's heart should have been lost a long time ago, right?

"Not enough!

General Okamura should still give Hanaya-kun a few more months. ”

Kazuo Shinozuka said firmly.

"Your Excellency, what if—"

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't say it, but Kazuo Shinozuka understood what he meant.

He smiled slightly, and said confidently:

"I already know Hanaya-kun's abilities.

Although it is also a bit capable, it can't be done to turn the tide.

The fundamental problem of our First Army today is the lack of troops!

It can be said that this outcome was foreshadowed from the time Shogun Okamura decided to launch the Battle of Nakajo Mountain first and then turn back to solve the Dohachi Road.

Wei Junru, the general of Zhongtiao Mountain, is not a wine bag and rice bag, once the war drags on for a long time, Tubalu will not give Hanaya-kun a chance to buffer at all!

Those high-ranking generals of Tubalu do not lack strategic vision! ”

"I see!"

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded hurriedly.

I secretly said in my heart: Your Excellency the Commander is really scheming!

……

Speaking of Hanaya Junyuki, after he returned to the headquarters from the army hospital, he began to pack up his things in his office and prepare to leave.

When it took him two hours to pack up his things, he finally waited for Okamura Tsuning's telegram.

However, as soon as he looked at the contents of the telegram, his eyes were about to fall out.

In the telegram, Okamura reprimanded him harshly, but did not agree to his application to be transferred to the reserve.

Instead, he was strictly ordered to adopt a conservative plan before the end of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, defend the city steadily, and wait for the end of the war!

When the time comes, the locust army will mobilize at least 5 divisions and regiments to sweep the dirt and eight roads in Jindi.

Of course, in order to enhance his confidence in holding the city, the other party also told him that he had ordered the garrison in Mengtun to send a cavalry wing to support him, and he could arrive in half a month at most.

In addition, a report is being sent to the base camp, requesting that two divisions be transferred from the Liaodong Army, on the one hand, as a backup for the Battle of Nakajo Mountain, and on the other hand, it is also to prepare to help Hanaya Junyuki sweep the Dirt Eight Road along the way.

However, these two divisions will definitely not be able to come in the short term, and they will not be in place until at least two months later.

Seeing that General Okamura cared so much for him, Junyuki Hanaya was suddenly moved to tears.

Hurriedly asked someone to call General Okamura back, saying that he would definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the Commander!

However, after he calmed down, he also realized that he had stabbed such a big basket, and General Okamura had not replaced him, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Kazuo Shinozuka.

couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Shinozuka-kun, since you are so willing to stay in the hospital, then continue to stay!

As long as I have a slight success, I am afraid that the position of commander of the First Army will belong to me!
