It is said that the squadron leader of the aviation reconnaissance squadron stationed at Jinyang Airport, Kunio Matsuda, received the order of Kazuo Shinozuka and immediately dispatched two reconnaissance planes to Shuiquan to reconnoitre.

However, to his surprise, the two reconnaissance planes never returned, and there was no news again.

There is no one alive, no corpse is dead!

Although in these years, the failure rate of aircraft is very high, accidental crashes are also common.

But like this, the situation where the two planes disappeared together is the first time Kunio Matsuda has seen it.

He couldn't help but panic.

I wanted to call Kazuo Shinozuka to report immediately, but I was afraid that His Excellency the Commander would order me to commit suicide immediately.

Finally, after three minutes of struggle, he re-dispatched two reconnaissance planes to reconnoitre.

And repeatedly told the pilots that they must not be careless, and beware of aircraft failures and anti-aircraft guns on the Tuba Road.

After the two planes departed, Kunio Matsuda prayed in his office that they would return safely.

I don't know if the little devil's Amaterasu heard his prayers, anyway, more than an hour later, the two reconnaissance planes came back and brought back many reconnaissance photos.

Kunio Matsuda suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he didn't have to be loyal to His Majesty the Locust.

immediately took these photos and ran back to Jinyang City to report to Kazuo Shinozuka.

When Kazuo Shinozuka heard that he had lost two reconnaissance planes at the beginning of the game, he couldn't help but be furious and scolded Kunio Matsuda.

Then he took the photo he sent and observed it carefully, and then he gasped and exclaimed:

"There are so many artillery pieces in the Dirt Eight Road?

No wonder they were able to defeat the 57th Division! ”

At this time, the telephone on his desk rang, and he immediately picked it up.

It turned out to be a call from Daisuke Aizawa, the commander of the Jinyang Airport Garrison Brigade, reporting that two fighters and 24 bombers of the vanguard of the 1st Flying Regiment had arrived.

Shinozuka Kazuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered:

"Immediately refill their planes with jet fuel and ammunition.

Immediately after ordering them to get ready, they took off and bombed the water springs, focusing on the artillery positions of the Tubalu! ”

Daisuke Aizawa nodded his head again and again, and then ran to deliver his order.

The little devil pilots who had just been transferred to Jinyang Airport didn't expect that they had just arrived, and before they had even enjoyed the tenderness of Jinyang City, they would be ordered to fight again.

I couldn't help but complain.

But none of them had the courage to go to Kazuo Shinozuka to protest, so they could only take off and fly in the direction of the water spring after they were ready to fly.

……

Kazuo Shinozuka thought that he would be able to successfully blow up the artillery of the Tsuchihachi Road by sending 26 planes in a wave.

But he didn't expect that when it got dark, the airport actually called to report that the previous bombing had lost a full 19 planes, and only 7 planes came back scarred.

This news made his eyes black on the spot, and he wanted to faint.

couldn't help but scold:

"Yaga! Waste of land aviation!

Is their head full of shit......"

After scolding for half an hour, Kazuo Shinozuka calmed down, called the airport, and ordered:

"When the Nakato-kun of the 1st Flying Regiment arrives, order him to come to me immediately!

All other planes are not allowed to go out for the time being! ”

This is after he was hit on the head, he finally coaxed.

Don't dare to fight again.

Subsequently, he called Shi Taikenji, the person in charge of the special high school, and ordered the other party to make every effort to investigate the various communication lines from Beidi to Jindi, and see if there were any signs that Lao Maozi was secretly transporting weapons to Jindi's Tuba Road.

In fact, the people in the special high class have been investigating this matter for a long time, but there has been no result.

Now that Kazuo Shinozuka has arranged it again, Kenji Shi Tai can only secretly complain.

Xindao: If there are any clues, we have already found out.

But he can't say that directly.

Between the rolls of his eyes, he immediately came up with a way and said:

"Your Excellency Commander, if Lao Maozi wants to send weapons to Tubalu, they must have some new decision at the top.

Maybe we can start from this aspect, and ask the base camp to mobilize our intelligence officers on Lao Maozi's side to investigate. ”

Shinozuka is an old man, who doesn't know that this guy in front of him is throwing the pot, and he immediately wants to scold his mother.

But then he thought about it, his eyes lit up again, and he immediately nodded in agreement:

"Yo Si! I will report this matter to the base camp for communication.

But on the side of your special high class, you must not slack off, and you must investigate it as soon as possible!

Do you drop, understand? ”

"Hey!"

……

As soon as Kenji Shi left, Kazuo Shinozuka called the telegraph operator and ordered the other party to send two telegrams to Okamura Tsuning.

Naturally, it was a request to send more bombers to bomb Watersprings.

The other is to report that there are hundreds of artillery pieces on the Tuba Road in the northwest of Shanxi, and the source is unknown, which is very bizarre.

It is requested that through a higher intelligence line, we should investigate whether Lao Maozi's policy has changed, and whether these artillery pieces are aided by Lao Maozi.

In fact, he didn't have any hope that these two telegrams would have any good results, but the reason why he still sent a report to Okamura Tsunin so aggressively was, of course, so that if something happened in the future, he could get rid of it.

……

Sending the telegraph operator away, Kazuo Shinozuka stood in front of the map and let out a long sigh.

He secretly decided that until the divisions promised by Kasahara were completely in place, he must not act rashly again, resulting in another setback.

He knew that now was his last chance to take power!

Once there is another big defeat, then he, the commander, will be the end!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put his hope on Kazuki Yamamoto, who had already led the team to the water spring at noon today.

Secretly muttered:

"Yamamoto-kun, I hope your secret service team won't let me down again!"

……

The capital, the headquarters of Okamura Tsuning.

At the moment, he was talking to a mustachioed man in the uniform of a lieutenant general.

"Yan Song-kun, you hurriedly summoned you here from China, don't you mind?

After all, you are in the position of commander of the Central Defense, and you have done a very good job. ”

Okamura Tsuning's attitude was very kind, and he beckoned the guards at the door to pour a steaming cup of Longjing tea for the other party.

It turned out that this person was Kazuo Iwamatsu who was recommended by Hoshio Kasahara to Kazuo Shinozuka!

Today, his position is the commander of the Central Defense Army of Fuso, with the rank of lieutenant general!

Hearing Okamura Tsuning's words, Kazuo Iwamatsu's attitude was also respectful, and he hurriedly said:

"To be able to come to the front from the rear, I am very grateful for the kindness of His Excellency the Commander."

"Haha! Looks like you've guessed what I'm calling you for. ”

Okamura smiled heartily.

"Not bad.

When Kasawara-kun had just greeted me at the airport, he said that he wanted me to be the chief of staff of the First Army? ”

Kazuo Iwamatsu replied frankly.

Okamura Tsuning was not surprised when he heard this, nodded and asked:

"Yes, how about Iwamatsu-kun?"

"Your Excellency, it is the glory of every locust warrior to be able to go to the battlefield.

Humble office is no exception. ”

Kazuo Iwamatsu replied sonorously.

Okamura was visibly pleased with his answer.

Immediately asked with a smile:

"Yo Si!

Yan Songjun, I know that you have served in China for many years, and you must be very familiar with the situation and geography of China, so how do you think you should solve the security problem in Jindi? ”

When Iwamatsu Kazuo heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

He knew that this was the test of teaching.

Once his answer can't satisfy the guy opposite, although the position of this chief of staff may not be yellow, it will definitely affect his impression in his heart.

He hurriedly used his brain, thought about it carefully, and then said slowly:

"When I was in China before I was humble, I had a feeling."

"Oh, what's the feeling?"

Okamura Tsunin came interested.

"One branch is a dragon, but ten people are a worm."

"Hahaha, that's a wonderful statement!

Iwamatsu-kun, your understanding of the people of China is very profound.

I feel the same way!

Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing! ”

Okamura was overjoyed, feeling that the other party had spoken to his heart.

Kazuo Iwamatsu knew that he had basically passed the test, and immediately continued with a relaxed face:

"Therefore, in order to solve the problem of public security in Jindi, I feel that I should win over Yan Lao and make him surrender.

Then with the whole army of the Jin Sui Army, plus the main force of the Locust Army, the Tubalu was comprehensively encircled and suppressed.

With the habit of infighting in China, maybe these Jin Sui troops will exert unexpected strength! ”

"Yo Si!

Yan Songjun said this very much, so, I am relieved! ”

Okamura was smiling.

Then he confessed:

"Iwamatsu-kun, I'll ask the base camp to give you an order later.

After a short rest in the capital today, please leave for Jinyang tomorrow.

Now that the Northwest Soil Eighth Road in Jinxi is extremely rampant, I hope you can cooperate sincerely with Shinozuka-kun!

He has been in Jindi for a long time, and he must have a lot of experience to pass on to you. ”

As soon as Iwamatsu Kazuo heard his words, he suddenly understood in his heart.

Knowing why Okamura Tsuning would make himself a lieutenant general, Qu served as the chief of staff of Kazuo Shinozuka, a lieutenant general.

The left and right are just preparing to take the other party down at the right time.

When the time comes, he will be able to take over the position of commander of the First Army!

So he could hardly restrain the joy in his heart, got up and bowed, and said:

"Hey!"
