my bright sword career

Chapter 140 High... Really High

Looking at Yoshio Shinozuka who was furious, Hayao Tada also felt a headache.

He never imagined that the situation in Shanxi would deteriorate to such a degree in such a short period of time. Now the Eighth Route Army launched a surprise attack on Shanxi Northwest and Zhengtai Road, and the 41st Division inside was defeated. All of this was under his nose Happened underneath.

As the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka is certainly to blame, but can he, the commander of the North China Front Army, stay out of the matter?
At this time, Naozaburo Okabe and Kazuki Yamamoto also came after hearing the news. After listening to the staff report, Naozaburo Okabe said solemnly: "The two commanders, judging from the current situation, this is a well-planned and vicious plan together. A conspiracy against our First Army and even the North China Front Army.

After several years of dormancy, the Eighth Route Army has developed into an armed force capable of threatening the imperial army. Their goal is not just to blow up a few railroad tracks and blow up a few bunkers. Their purpose is to overthrow the imperial army in Shanxi. Dominate, destroy my **** circle.

Based on what I have said above, our priority now is the armed force of the Eighth Route Army. I suggest...immediately mobilize the 36th and 37th divisions to quickly encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army along the Zhengtai Railway. traffic line. "

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and said, "What about Gao Hongming's militia, should we ignore him? You know, he just defeated the 41st Division."

Naozaburo Okabe shook his head and said: "No... on the contrary, just because he has just severely damaged the 41st Division, his own losses must be very serious, so there is no spare power to pose a threat to the Imperial Army in a short period of time, but we can take it easy mobilize troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army."

What Naozaburo Okabe said was well-founded, and Hayao Tada couldn't help nodding secretly. This chief of staff is indeed quite talented, with precise judgment and clear thinking, and he is a person with a big picture.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I disagree with you."

Clinker, a voice suddenly came out, everyone turned around and saw that it was Kazuki Yamamoto, Hayao Tada was a little unhappy.

The lowest rank among them is major general Naozaburo Okabe. His position is either chief of staff or commander. This Kazuki Yamamoto is just the captain of a special forces team. Relying on Yoshio Shinozuka's favor, he actually speaks on such an occasion. , Is it a little ignorant of dignity?

Shinozuka Yoshio saw that it was broken. He knew Kazuki Yamamoto's temper, which can be described as stinky and tough. He has offended many colleagues over the years, otherwise he would not be just the chief until now, so he quickly reprimanded: " Yamamoto-kun, don't speak nonsense, there is no place for you to speak here."

Kazuki Yamamoto raised his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I know that I will offend you if I say it, but what I want to say is that although the Eighth Route Army has caused us a lot of trouble, Gao Hongming at Qixia Pass is our confidant. .

I agree with part of what the Chief of Staff Okabe said just now, that is, although Gao Hongming severely damaged the 41st Division, his own losses were not small.

There is an old saying in China, take advantage of his illness to kill him.Now he has the strength to severely damage our reorganized division. What if we give him a period of time to develop?

If we don't take this opportunity to mobilize troops to wipe him out in one fell swoop, do we have to wait until he recovers to eat up one of our divisions? "

"Baga... bastard!"

Kazuki Yamamoto's words undoubtedly touched everyone's sore spot, even Yoshio Shinozuka was scolded, not to mention Hayao Tada and Naozaburo Okabe.

Originally, Hayao Tada had a good impression of Kazuki Yamamoto, but now that good impression has completely disappeared with Yamamoto's words.

Seeing Tada Hayao's face quickly sinking, Shinozuka Yoshio secretly yelled that he was not good, he stood up and shouted sharply: "Yamamoto-kun, get out of here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for calling the guards!"

Kazuki Yamamoto also knew that what he said just now offended everyone, and he didn't make it up. He saluted the three and left the office.

After Yamamoto moved away, Shinozuka Yoshio smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Tada, I'm really sorry, this guy Yamamoto has such a temper, otherwise he wouldn't be just a commander after graduating from the mainland for so many years with his qualifications. "

Tada Hayao was still a little bit angry: "Mr. Xiaozuka, you dote on him too much, that's why he is so unscrupulous. He even forgets about the superiority and inferiority. If this goes on, he will cause a big disaster sooner or later."

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled bitterly and said, "What the commander taught me is that I will teach him a good lesson later."

Seeing that Shinozuka Yoshio said so, Tada Hayao didn't have much to say, and turned his head to Okabe Naozaburo and said, "Okabe-kun, your proposal just now is still very good. You should go and draw up a strategy right now." The plan, hand it over to us before noon today."

"Hi!"

Naozaburo Okabe bowed in response, stood up and bowed to Hayao Tada before leaving the office, but not only intentionally or unintentionally, he did not salute Shinozuka Yoshio when he left, and this Yoshio Shinozuka was also keenly aware of it...

Kampo

"What did you say? Gao Hongming led the militia to severely damage the 41st Division of the Japanese Army and wiped out more than [-] people?"

Yan Xishan looked at the staff officer who came to report, twitched his eyebrows twice, and suddenly pointed at the staff officer and laughed, "I said you bastards, how can you make these fake news to fool me? You think my old man is too idle. Is it?
No matter how good Gao Hongming can fight, it is impossible for a regiment to seriously injure a reorganized division, unless all his soldiers become heavenly soldiers and generals. "

The staff officer's face was flushed, "Sir, this is not my nonsense, it was reported by Gao Hongming, and I am just reporting the truth to you."

"This Gao Hongming!"

Yan Xishan shook his head in disappointment.

"I thought this kid was an honest person, but I didn't expect that he would also lie."

Sun Chu, who was also in the war room, thought for a while, "Sir, a regiment severely wounded a division and wiped out more than 1 enemies. This kind of thing is naturally impossible. Fantastic, I guess maybe his operator typed an extra zero when sending the report?"

"Well...it's possible."

Yan Xishan also nodded, "Gao Hongming shouldn't be so confused. I also think his operator must have made a mistake. Eh... I must remind him next time I see him.

By the way, Cui Ya, what do you think of the Eighth Route Army's sudden attack on the Japanese? "

"I see, this is the Eighth Route Army's pre-emptive attack. The Japanese have been busy dispatching troops and generals during this time, and it is clear that they want to deal with the Eighth Route Army. Naturally, they cannot sit still. I guess they are warning the Japanese not to force them into Anxious."

"I also think so."

Yan Xishan nodded slowly, "However, the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army this time was far beyond our expectations. According to news, just yesterday, the Eighth Route Army dispatched more than 20 regiments of troops.

In addition to the local armed forces, the total number is at least 8 to [-]. I didn't expect that in just a few years, the army with only tens of thousands of guns would develop to this point. It's amazing... amazing! "

Seeing Yan Xishan's uncertain face, Sun Chu lowered his head and dared not speak.

Yan Xishan thought for a while, then said firmly: "The Eighth Route Army cannot continue to develop like this, and you should immediately draft a telegram in my name and tell the troops below.

Starting today, without the order of the Minister's Ministry, all troops in the World War II zone are not allowed to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in any form, and they are not allowed to provide a single bullet to the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they will be severely punished. "

Sun Chu asked again: "Now that the Eighth Route Army is launching a counterattack against the Japanese, if we just sit idly by like this, we will definitely be hated by the Eighth Route Army.

You also know that the Eighth Route Army is very good at talking, and if they spread the word in big cities like Chongqing, Guilin, and Chengdu, then your reputation will be..."

"This is..."

Yan Xishan also encountered difficulties for a while. After dealing with the Eighth Route Army for so many years, he certainly knew how good the propaganda work of the Eighth Route Army was. His reputation will definitely be greatly affected, and his opponent might take the opportunity to make a fuss.

He pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "Is Gao Hongming still in Qixia Pass now? How is his fight with the Japanese going?"

Sun Chu shook his head and said: "Our people have withdrawn from Qixia Pass a long time ago, and now we don't know anything about the situation there. We only know that the Japanese dispatched a division to encircle him and blow up the Xichuan Bridge. , forcing Gao Hongming to fight them at Qixia Pass.

However, judging from the telegram just received, Gao Hongming not only did not suffer, but instead gained the upper hand, which is very strange. "

"What gained the upper hand." Yan Xishan laughed, "If the Japanese really dispatched a reorganized division to deal with him, no matter how powerful he was, he would have been wiped out long ago.

I guess, the Eighth Route Army launched a surprise attack on Zhengtai Road last night, causing the Japanese to be in a hurry, so they hurriedly transferred the 41st Division back to fight the fire. .

But even so, I guess his loss is not small, and it would be good to have half of the troops left now. "

"Well... I think so too." Sun Chu still agrees with Yan Xishan's judgment, "Although Gao Hongming is a young man who is willing to do something, he is still too young to send a telegram. Wait until next time." When I see him, I will definitely have a good talk about him.”

Hearing this, Yan Xishan suddenly had an idea, "Cuiya, I suddenly thought of an idea. Didn't Gao Hongming just send a telegram to severely damage the 41st Division of the Japanese Army?
We might as well push the boat forward and reward him in the name of the World War II District Chief’s Department, and order him to wait for the opportunity to assist the Eighth Route Army in the war against Japan. In this way, there will be an explanation for both the Eighth Route Army and the outside world. "

Sun Chu was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help admiring his boss's cunning and cunning.

Didn't you, Gao Hongming, just boast that you severely damaged the 41st Division of the Japanese Army and wiped out more than 1 enemies?That's good, now I will send you to assist the Eighth Route Army in the war against Japan, what do you think?
After all, this ginger is old and spicy, and he suddenly came up with such a way to get the best of both worlds.

However, he hesitated for a while and said: "Sir, is this too harsh on Gao Hongming? Anyway, he is also a disciple of Liantai. From now on..."

Although Sun Chu didn't finish speaking, Yan Xishan already understood what he meant.

He and Gao Hongming are fellow villagers of Liantai no matter what, and strictly speaking, they are elders. If such calculations are made about a junior, if it gets out, the reputation in the local area will probably be stink.

People in this era still value reputation very much, especially in their hometown. After all, Chinese people pay attention to returning to their roots. Even his own children and grandchildren can't lift their heads.

Yan Xishan smiled and said: "Cuiya, you still don't understand what I mean. What I said just now is to assist the Eighth Route Army in combat at the discretion of the opportunity. As for how to assist, the initiative is still in his hands. Gao Hongming is a smart man, I think He'll know what he's doing."

Sun Chu understood now, and couldn't help stretching out his thumb: "Sir...high...really high..."

Yan Xishan stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and smiled triumphantly...

Besides Gao Hongming, at noon on the day when he severely damaged the 41st Division, the engineering company reported that the Xichuan Bridge had been initially repaired and could pass.

After hearing the report, without any hesitation, Gao Hongming immediately ordered the whole regiment to set off and embarked on the journey home. He received this telegram from Yan Xishan on the way.

Looking at this enthusiastic commendation telegram, Gao Hongming saw nothing but emptiness and hypocrisy, without any substance at all. When he saw the last paragraph, he had a deeper understanding of Yan Xishan's cunning and cunning .

"This old guy is too cunning." After throwing the telegram aside, Gao Hongming couldn't help cursing.

"Hong Ming, what did the newspaper say, why do you have such an expression?" Xie Wenqian, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice when she saw Gao Hongming's appearance.

Since the two had a substantive relationship, Xie Wenqian was like a walnut whose hard shell had been pried open, revealing the soft fruit. Finally, she no longer avoided suspicion. Like this retreat, she also graciously shared with Gao Hongming. Take a car.

Gao Hongming handed the telegram to her, "You can read it yourself, this Chief Yan wants me to take the blame for him again."

Xie Wenqian read the telegram at a glance, and said angrily: "How could he do this? We fought such a tragic battle with the 41st Division at Qixia Pass, and the troops suffered so many casualties. He even asked you to lead the team to assist the Eighth Route Army in combat. How can you do that?" So annoying?"
