my bright sword career

Chapter 90 Sudden Offensive
Yoshio Shinozuka has been in a bad mood for the past few days. For this reason, he has reprimanded many people in the headquarters, and one of the unlucky ghosts was sent to a remote county to be the captain of the defense.

Kazuki Yamamoto walked to the door of the office with standard military steps and knocked a few times without haste.

"Come in!" Yoshio Shinozuka's voice came from inside.

Kazuki Yamamoto pushed the door open, and at first glance, he saw Yoshio Shinozuka sitting at the coffee table next to the gate drinking tea.

Hearing footsteps, he said without raising his head, "Yamamoto-kun, come and have a cup of tea with me."

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto walked over and sat down opposite him.

Yoshio Shinozuka put a teacup in front of Kazuki Yamamoto, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, "Try it, this is the famous Acanthopanax tea in Manchuria, drinking it often can nourish Qi, strengthen the spleen, invigorate the kidney and soothe the nerves." .”

"Thank you, Commander. Didn't expect the Commander to get tea from Manchuria?"

Kazuki Yamamoto thanked with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank it down.

But then he frowned and blinked his mouth: "Isn't this tea too bitter?"

Shinozuka Yoshio laughed, "Yamamoto-kun, this kind of tea tastes good only if it is bitter, and if it is not bitter, it will have no taste."

Kazuki Yamamoto said curiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, I see that the tea leaves are quite fresh. Who gave them to you?"

"Ishihara Waner, the head of the Sixteenth Division, sent someone to see me off."

"Yo Xi, it's His Excellency Ishihara. I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with him."

Hearing Ishihara Waner's name, Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes lit up. In the words of later generations, he is Ishihara Waner's fanboy.

"Why... are you so happy to hear Ishihara-kun's name?" Seeing Kazuki Yamamoto, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but smile a little.

"Yes!" Kazuki Yamamoto said sternly: "In recent years, I have read several masterpieces by His Excellency Ishihara, such as "Present and Future Japanese National Defense", "The Fundamental National Policy for Reversing the National Destiny-Solutions to the Manchurian and Mongolian Issues", Books such as "The Kwantung Army's Manchurian Project" have greatly benefited me.

It's just that I still don't understand some things, so what I want to do most now is to ask His Excellency Shi Yuan for help and listen to his teachings. "

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy your wish."

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head, "Ishihara-kun is currently serving as the head of the Sixteenth Division, and he is also stationed in Manchuria. We are too far away from Manchuria. It is not easy for you to see him, and..."

Speaking of this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "And Ishihara-kun has a very bad relationship with the current chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, His Excellency Tojo Hideki. He even publicly declared many times that Tojo Hideki should be shot. It won't be long in Manchuria."

Kazuki Yamamoto curled his lips: "Your Excellency Ishihara, this is the true temperament. Hideki Tojo can be a senior soldier at best. The base camp must be blind to let him serve as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army."

"Yamamoto-kun... be careful!"

Even Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help being frightened so much that his expression changed.

The meme of Tojo’s corporal comes from Ishihara Wanji, because Ishihara Wanji believes that with Tojo’s talents, he can only be a corporal at best, and he can manage no more than ten machine guns, because if there are more, he will count But come.

It was two years ago when Hideki Tojo was transferred to the Kwantung Army as the chief of staff. When Shuming Okawa from his hometown came to visit him, he happened to bump into Kanji Ishihara and asked him where the office of Chief of Staff Tojo was. I had to ask him. Well, Ishihara replied dismissively with a smile, "Oh, that Private Tojo is just across the way.""

Since then, the meme of Lieutenant Tojo has spread.

Let me ask, how could Ishihara Wanji insult Tojo Hideki so much, with this personality, how could he bear it, so Shinozuka Yoshio concluded that Ishihara Wanji's life in the future would definitely be difficult.

In the end, the helpless Yoshio Shinozuka could only forcefully change the subject: "Okay Yamamoto-kun, I think you have been poisoned by Ishihara-kun. Let's talk about other topics."

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto also knew that Yoshio Shinozuka was doing it for his own good, so he bowed slightly respectfully.

Shinozuka Yoshio took a sip of tea: "Yamamoto-kun, what do you want to see me today?"

"Yes."

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "According to my recent research, the intelligence agency analyzed Gao Hongming's character and concluded that this person not only harbors hatred for the Japanese Empire, but is also a person who will take revenge.

During this period of time, the imperial army first set up an ambush at Qixia Pass, and two days ago sent planes to carry out an air raid on the base of its armored troops. With his personality, he definitely couldn't swallow this breath.I am worried that he will launch a large-scale revenge on us, we have to prepare early. "

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned: "Yamamoto-kun, do you have evidence for what you said?"

"No."

Kazuki Yamamoto smiled wryly and shook his head: "I just made a judgment based on Gao Hongming's character, so there is no evidence."

"Then your purpose of saying this is..." Although he didn't take Yamamoto Kazuki's words seriously, Yoshio Shinozuka patiently asked again.

"I hope that your Excellency, Commander, can order the troops stationed in Ping'an County to strengthen their vigilance, and to deploy one or two additional regiments around Ping'an County to guard against Gao Hongming's sudden attack."

"Bullshit!"

Rao Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help being a little angry when he valued Kazuki Yamamoto, "Do you know how heavy the mission of the First Army is?
There are more than 100 counties in Shanxi, and nearly [-]% of them have been occupied by us.Even if a squadron is stationed in each county, tens of thousands of people are needed, as well as the railways along the way and various important strongholds, which have already occupied most of our troops.

Now you ask me to transfer one or two regiments to live in Ping'an County, where do you want me to transfer troops? "

"Military strength is like a sponge, there is always something to squeeze."

Kazuki Yamamoto still insisted on his opinion, "Gao Hongming and his Liantai militia are too dangerous, we must take precautions before they happen. Otherwise, once Gao Hongming takes his militia to retaliate against the imperial army, it will be too late."

"You..." Seeing Kazuki Yamamoto still insisting on his own opinion, Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that he was speechless. Just as he was about to explode, the door in the middle of the sky was suddenly pushed open, and the chief of staff Major General Naozaburo Okabe broke in.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good...Gao Hongming led the Liantai County militia to launch a surprise attack on Ping'an County. Major Koichi Hataka, the captain of the garrison in Ping'an County, sent a telegram for help.

The offensive of the Liantai militia was very fierce, and they also dispatched heavy artillery.In less than half an hour, all the outer positions of Ping'an County have been lost. Now Koichi Hataka is leading the remaining troops to defend the county. I hope we will send reinforcements to rescue immediately! "

"Nani?"
