Chapter 107 Kazuki Yamamoto: Are you humiliating me? (107K)

The headquarters of the Japanese army stationed in Xingshi.

Okamoto Temple was held accountable by Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army, on the phone.

Obviously, Shinozuka was very angry at Okamotoji's abandonment of the military column and ordering the retreat without authorization.

Because the incident of the Kwantung Army's military column failure had a too great negative impact on the First Army.

Taking advantage of Shinozuka's dry mouth and stopping to drink water to moisten his throat, Okamoto hastened to express his opinion:

"Commander, if I can repel or annihilate the Eighth Route Army if I stay and continue fighting, then I will definitely not choose to retreat with my troops. I also know that this behavior is shameful for the imperial soldiers."

"But I can't just sit and watch all the soldiers in my regiment go to pieces, because we are a security regiment, not a field regiment, and we have different tasks."

"If all the troops are wiped out and all the soldiers are destroyed, then who will be responsible for the security tasks in the Jizhong area? Is it only the security forces? Don't you understand the reason why you don't have to worry about running out of firewood if you keep the green hills?"

"In my opinion, the fighting power of the Eighth Route Army is not strong, and it is even far behind our imperial army, but what I don't know is, where did the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army get such things as the 75th flamethrower and the 81nd infantry?" Cannons, Type [-] [-]mm infantry mountain artillery, and even [-]mm mortars are heavy firepower weapons, and the number is extremely large.”

"Shouldn't these be the weapons of our imperial army? I want to know how they got into the hands of the Eighth Route Army?"

"Besides, what I performed the night before yesterday was only a high-level security mission. The military department explicitly prohibited my regiment from carrying infantry artillery, and told me that I only need to spread the troops along the railway line to serve as guards. I want to know, this Which clever bureaucrat in the military department gave the order?"

Yoshio Shinozuka on the other end of the phone was obviously stopped by this guy who was three ranks lower than himself.

The staff officer in Okamoto Temple wrote a very detailed report on the battle process. After reading the report, Shinozuka certainly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Also know that the responsibility is not just one person in Okamoto Temple.

Because the order not to let Okamoto bring infantry artillery was given by Shinozuka.

He felt that even if something happened during the guard mission, it would only be a sporadic nuisance from a small group of that army, and there was no need to use infantry artillery at all.

In addition, Shinozuka also received a secret report from the intelligence and governance system, saying that some officers and soldiers in the Okamotoji Inner Regiment actually developed anti-war thinking and formed a certain scale.

Although this unhealthy momentum has been extinguished in time, and the relevant soldiers were also sentenced to capital punishment, one wave has not settled down, and another wave has followed, and then Sasaki, the captain of the Xing City Gendarmerie, massacred soldiers frantically in the barracks things.

This made Shinozuka even more worried about this army. He was really worried that the artillery would aim their cannons at the ranks.

It would be a big joke if the military column was blown up by soldiers of his first army, so Shinozuka issued such an order for safety reasons.

I didn't expect that cleverness would be mistaken by cleverness.

As for the source of the cannons in Wang Liang's hands, Xiaozuka knew better, they were seized by Wang Liang from Yangquan Donghui Town.

It's just that the North China Front Army Command ordered the First Army Command to find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible and severely punish the relevant responsible persons.

After much deliberation, Okamoto Terauchi was transferred from the Kwantung Army, and he was not directly related to him. Shinozuka thought it was only appropriate to push him to take the blame.

Unexpectedly, the guy in Okamoto Temple had such a clear mind and organization. Faced with his scolding, he didn't immediately nod and bow like other mid-level officers, and voluntarily admit his mistakes. Neither humble nor overbearing.

Shinozuka Yoshio felt that this guy who is not afraid of power is really not easy to mess with, so he had to say:

"Okay, Zhongzuo Okamoto, you should have heard about the matter of Yamashita Bongbu, don't make excuses for your successive failures."

"I am now issuing an order to you on behalf of the military department to annihilate the Second Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"Second Independence Regiment?" Okamoto Temple was a little puzzled.

Shinozuka, who only listened to the other end of the phone, said: "Because most of your brigade was wiped out, and more than a dozen officers including Major General Fujii Shoji and Kawasaki Takeshi died, the 386th Brigade Independent Battalion has been reorganized into the Second Independent Regiment. Wang Liang Served as the head of the regiment and was awarded first-class merit."

"And my intelligence officer also told me that Wang Liang, who was recorded as a first-class meritorious service by the Eighth Route Army and awarded a third-class Baoding Medal by Chang Kaishen, pointed to the two medals on his chest and publicly announced that half of you are involved in this." credit!"

Hearing this, Okamoto, who has always been calm, clenched the microphone in his hand, and his face was extremely ugly. Obviously this time he was really angry.

"Commander, please rest assured that I still have a secret weapon that I have never used before, which is enough to destroy Wang Liang and his Second Independent Regiment forever." Okamoto said viciously.

"Oh? Really? Then I will wait and see. I hope to hear your good news as soon as possible. At that time, I will personally hang the medal with half of Wang Liang's credit on your chest." Before hanging up the phone, Xiao Zuka Yoshio didn't forget to sarcasm Okamoto, as revenge for the guy's verbal offense to him.

After hanging up the phone, Shinozuka Yoshio summoned several officers in the reception room of the First Army Headquarters.

They are Mita Kazui, senior intelligence officer of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Bureau, Irataro I, head of the strategy section of the First Army Intelligence Department, and Yamamoto Kazuki, commander of the Yamamoto Special Forces.

Facing Mita Kazuhide who came on behalf of the Kwantung Army, Shinozuka Yoshio stood up and bowed down to apologize to him:
"Santa-kun, General Fujii's accident is indeed the responsibility of our First Army's improper security measures. While expressing regret, I apologize to your Kwantung Army."

Mita Kazuhide is also considered generous, after all, he did not come to ask for an explanation, but for another purpose:

"Commander Shinozuka, the dead cannot be brought back to life, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. I am here on the order of General Rensuke Isoya, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, to avenge General Fujii."

"You should also understand that Chief of Staff Isoya Rensuke and General Fujii are not only classmates in the same class and dormitory at the Army University, but also good friends like brothers."

"General Jigu was extremely angry about this matter, and vowed to destroy this arrogant Eighth Route Army team."

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes lit up when he heard Mita's words. Although the guy in Okamoto Temple just said swearing on the phone and said he had some so-called secret weapon, Shinozuka didn't have much confidence in him.

Then there was Yamashita Hokari, Yamashita's second younger brother, at first Shinozuka had high expectations. After all, Yamashita Hokumi was the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and he had the power to mobilize the entire North China army.

Previously, when Fengwen Yamashita spoke to him, he had stated explicitly and secretly that he would send a flying wing to assist in the battle.

But how did he know that after taking office in Hengshui, Yamashita Fengli would never hear any news from him again.

According to the regiment captain stationed in Hengshui area, if he didn't see the regiment chief of staff, Yamashita Terori, all day long, he didn't know what this guy was busy with, and it was very unreliable.

Now that the Kwantung Army Intelligence Bureau is going to get involved again, Shinozuka is naturally very happy to see it. He knows that this department is still very powerful.

"This is Colonel Irataro, Chief of the Strategy Division of the Intelligence Department of our First Army. I will ask him to fully assist you in your work." Shinozuka Yoshio said to Mita Kazuide.

Mita stood up and bowed, "Thank you so much!"

After chatting for a long time, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes fell on Kazuki Yamamoto who he highly valued.

Kazuki Yamamoto was specially sent by Shinozuka to the First Army.

Rather than asking for it, it would be better to say it for nothing.

Because Kazuki Yamamoto is not interested in large corps operations, his interest lies in the study of special operations.

As an emerging military discipline, it is naturally not valued by the Japanese army.

And Kazuki Yamamoto's attitude is also very firm. If he refuses to be the captain of the infantry wing, he must wholeheartedly build his own special agent team.

As a result, all the departments of the North China Front Army were unwilling to accept this arrogant and arrogant guy.

After all, no one wants to find a master for themselves.

But Yoshio Shinozuka, after reading Kazuki Yamamoto's resume, admired him very much, and offered him an olive branch to join the First Army, allowing and spending huge sums of money to support him in forming this joint-level special agent team.

You know, sending every agent to the Munich Special Military Academy in Germany for training is a considerable military expenditure.

The equipment used is the advanced American M3 submachine gun. In order to have a strong physique, the diet is also provided according to Western standards, and the investment cost is even greater.

The last time Yamamoto's secret service team took action was the last time. Yamamoto's goal was to eliminate the Supreme Command of the Eighth Route Army in Daxia Bay.

However, they encountered Kong Jie's independent regiment on the interspersed route. After a fierce battle, the secret service team severely damaged the independent regiment and killed the political commissar of the regiment.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto thought that this operation was a failure, in Yoshio Shinozuka's view, although the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxiawan could not be wiped out, a hundred or so people could give the Eighth Route Army a regiment such a heavy burden. A blow is no small achievement.

Undoubtedly, it proves that his Yamamoto special team, which has spent huge sums of money, is meaningful.

Shinozuka was thinking, why not let Yamamoto's secret service team take action again to kill Wang Liang, and save trouble, so he said:

"Master Yamamoto, can your secret service team go to Xing City and deal a heavier blow to the Second Independent Regiment than the Independent Regiment?"

After hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto stood up and asked with disdain:

"Commander, are you humiliating me?"

"If you firmly issue this order to me, my agents and I will leave immediately. In addition to Wang Liang, the head of the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, my subordinates can easily destroy their command center."

While Shinozuka was happy with Yamamoto's statement, he heard this guy change the subject and said again:

"Commander, do you still remember? When I first arrived in the First Army, I made it clear to you that the purpose of forming a special task force was to attack China's highest military command post."

"Under the premise of acknowledging that great men make history, the possibility of small men making history must not be ignored. For example, Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was killed by a Serbian little man in Sarajevo, which triggered the First World War .”

"When the balance is in a balanced state, the weight of an ant can cause the balance to tilt. Then on the strategic balance, a surprise attack at a critical moment by a small army with special training, excellent equipment, and high combat quality is also a big problem. It will tip the balance of strategy."

"You agreed with my military philosophy at the time, and this is also an important reason why we can cooperate to this day."

"However, if you give me such a combat order today, I think it is the greatest insult to me and my secret agents."

"After the mission is completed, I request to resign as the captain of the secret service team and be transferred from the First Army."

Yamamoto's words were very strong. Obviously, he didn't like Wang Liang's independent second regiment at all, and he didn't want to carry out the order.

He is determined to attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, or a target of strategic value such as the headquarters of the commander of the World War II area.

Mita Kazuhide and I Ryotaro looked at each other in dismay, feeling that this was too much to discredit the Commander Shinozuka.

Unexpectedly, Shinozuka Yoshio didn't show a trace of anger, but smiled and said: "Okay, Yamamoto-kun, I was just joking just now, why use a butcher's knife to kill chickens? Now I take back my order just now."

"Thank you, Commander! After my goal is achieved, if this guy named Wang Liang is still alive at that time, I don't mind eliminating him." Yamamoto said.

Lincheng, Xing City, where the Second Independent Regiment is stationed.

"Choo! Choo! Choo!"

Wang Liang, who was holding a meeting of cadres above the platoon level, sneezed several times. He didn't know if someone was talking about him or he had caught a cold.

After much deliberation, Wang Liang still felt that it was more likely that someone was thinking about him.

After all, my body is so good that I rarely catch a cold.

"This is the case, the situation is such a situation, after the decision of the superior, the independent battalion was upgraded to a regiment-level unit, and the unit number: the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Independent 2nd Regiment."

As soon as Wang Liang said this, Ou Xiang, Zhou Weiguo, Sun Shulin, Chen Feng, Magnet and other cadres all had a look of joy on their faces.

From the independent battalion to the independent regiment, they are sincerely happy for this, after all, this is not a small progress.

The one who was most excited was Li Daben, who stood up and said:
"This is really great, Captain. On behalf of the Fenghuanggou Independent Brigade, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to you. Come on, let's all chirp, chirp, and celebrate."

After that, he took the lead in applauding.

clap clap-

Wang Liang took a look at Li Daben. He was about to deal with this guy, but he didn't expect this kid to jump out first.

It is said that this Li Chishui is not an idler. Now it seems that this guy with a rebellious bone on the back of his head really has a "rebellious heart".
