Yamamoto Kazuki frowned and said, "Commander, do you want to call the military doctor to show you?"

"No need, military doctors have no good idea for hypertension. They just ask me to increase the dosage of medicine." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let's talk about your findings."

"Hayi." Yamamoto Ichiki paused his head slightly, then turned around and walked to the north wall.

Then I opened the tent on the wall to reveal the Shanxi map below.

"Please look at the commander." Yamamoto Ichiki picked up a long wooden pole and pointed to the map, and said, "Here, in the Laoluling Tunnel, we found the wreckage of the Type 94 armored train."

"Have you found the wreckage of the Type 94 armored train?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Have you entered the carriage for investigation?"

"It's a pity that we no longer have the ability to enter the carriage to investigate." Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head, "because the entire train is left with only one iron frame, and there is not even a carriage."

“All the equipment on the train, even steel plates,”

"They have been dismantled and transported away by the Eighth Route Army."

"Bagayaru." Yoshio Shinozuka growled with a dark face, "Eighth Route Army!"

Yamamoto Kazuki continued, "However, we still found some clues from the wreckage."

"Through the bullet holes left on the wreckage and the grenade explosion fragments left on the ground of the tunnel, it can basically be confirmed that there had been fierce battles on the armored train."

"This also proves my previous guess."

"The Eighth Route Army does have such an elite small force."

"This small force has the ability to launch a surprise attack on the 11th armored train and really hijacked the Type 94 armored train equipped by the 11th armored train."

"And it was the complete hijacking of the train."

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki emphasized the complete words in an emphasis.

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Are you sure the Eighth Route Army has hijacked the train intact?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Yamamoto said solemnly, "Because after surveying the wreckage of the armored train in the Laoluling Tunnel, we quietly sneaked into the Sangzhang stronghold, the Yanzigou stronghold, the ruins of the Niangziguan Railway Station and the Yangquan County Town, and conducted a lot of investigations..."

Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "What are you finding?"

Yamamoto Kazuki said: "We found that the three strongholds of Sangzhang, Yanzigou, Niangziguan, and Yangquan County were all shot by 105mm caliber cannons and 75mm caliber anti-aircraft cannons. The artillery towers, bunkers and the circular barricades in Yangquan County were basically destroyed by heavy artillery of these two caliber!"

"That's true!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, his face a little embarrassed.

Yamamoto Kazuki said again: "Immediately we went east along Masahiro Road and searched all the way. Then, we found suspicious traces, several infiltration and lurking traces at the foot of Phoenix Ridge Mountain."

"Although these traces have been processed, the techniques are very professional."

"But we still couldn't escape our eyes and were discovered by us."

"After restoring, it is basically certain that the main force of the Eighth Route Army, an elite small unit, was lurking at the foot of Phoenix Ridge. One to two team members sneaked into the armored train in advance. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the armored train was driving to the foot of Phoenix Ridge and the speed began to slow down due to climbing the hill, they opened the door and picked up other personnel on the train."

"Sodesne!" Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, "Yamamoto, what conclusion did you come to from it?"

"Hayi!" Yamamoto Ichiki suddenly paused and said in a deep voice, "Commander, the emergence of this elite Eighth Route Army unit and the series of incredible achievements they have created are enough to prove the decisive role of special operations in the modern combat system."

"So, I urge the Commander to immediately make suggestions to the Front Command to make a major innovation in the existing tactics of the North China Front Army."

"The existing tactics of the North China Front Army are a conventional tactic."

"For the Chinese government forces that advocate positional warfare, the Jinsui Army is an effective tactic."

"But for the Eighth Route Army, which advocates guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and now with special operations, the existing tactics of the North China Front Army seem clumsy and difficult to deal with."

"If you do not carry out tactics reform in time,"

“The situation in North China will only get worse.”

Yoshio Shinozuka completely agrees with Yamamotoki's view.

Yoshio Shinozuka really feels that the current tactics are really adapting to the needs of the situation more and more.

If you hold on to the incomplete and lack of things, and keep the existing tactics without making any changes, the situation in North China will only get worse and worse, and the Eighth Route Army will become stronger and stronger until the Japanese army is completely driven out of the five provinces in North China.

And this result is something that Shinozuka Yoshio cannot accept.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka also had his concerns, because Okamura Nagato had just arrived at the office, and he had not even figured out what kind of policy of justice and security would Okamura Nagato take.

So now he doesn't want to show his trump card.

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio said, "I understand."

Yamamoto Ichiki wanted to say something else, but he asked Yoshio Shinozuka to interrupt.

"Yamamoto, I can understand your mood." Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said, "But it's not yet time. When I have the chance, I will report your thoughts to Okamura."

"Please!" Yamamoto Ichiki paused his head heavily.

...

Okamura Yasuji attended another welcoming banquet last night.

I also drank a few more drinks at the banquet, but I ended up sleeping until ten o'clock in the morning. I was having breakfast in the small cafeteria of the headquarters.

The old Japanese breakfast was also white flour steamed buns and porridge, and a plate of pickled cucumbers.

This old Japanese man was devoted to making achievements for the empire, and he did not have too high requirements for his personal material enjoyment. He could eat porridge and steamed buns with relish.

Just as I was eating, Miyanodao came in quickly.

"Miyono, have you had breakfast? Have you eaten something together?"

"Thank you, General, for your kindness, I've eaten it just now." Miyano said.

Okamura Yasuji murmured and asked, "Miyono, look at your expression, is there anything wrong?"

Miyano Dao paused and said, "Your Excellency General, you have just received an urgent call from the 110th Division. They sent a cavalry brigade to intercept the Eighth Route Army small unit in southern Hebei, and they were all broken."

The chopsticks that Okamura Yanji stuck out stopped in the air.

A cavalry gang was broken together, this is no trivial matter.

Putting down the chopsticks, Okamura Yasuji said, "When did this happen?"

Miyano Doichi replied: "It was about 2:00 to 4:00 yesterday afternoon."

"Haga!" Okamura Yasuji said angrily, "Why did it only report to the Front Command after yesterday from 2:00 to 4:00 yesterday? What were they doing before?"

Miyano Doichi replied: "I haven't contacted Uedadagiri before, so I didn't report it."

"Haga!" Okamura's face twitched twice, and asked again, "So, where is the Eighth Route Army unit that went to Shanghai to smuggle medicines? Have they intercepted them?"

"No." Miyano Dora shook his head, "run away."

Okamura Yasuji asked again: "So, the medicine has not been stopped?"

"Yes." Miyanodao paused, "If nothing unexpected happens, this batch of medicines must have arrived at the field hospital set up by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit District."

"Bagayaru!"

Okamura Yanji felt a burning face.

If the 100 Regiment Battle launched by the Eighth Route Army before was attacked by the former commander of the North China Front Army, then the complete destruction of the Tiandao Brigade this time was attacked by Okamura Yasuji!

This wave was really careless. I didn’t expect that the Eighth Route Army in North China was so difficult to deal with?

He originally thought that the most difficult enemy to deal with was the Kuomintang Central Army, but now it seems that this judgment is likely to be discounted, because even the Kuomintang Central Army, it is extremely difficult to wipe out a Japanese cavalry brigade in the field.

This is a cavalry brigade!

The mobility of cavalry is far higher than that of infantry!

After a while, Okamura Yasuji said, "Miyono, do you know what this means?"

"Hayi, I know." Miyano Doichi replied, "this means that thousands of wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers will be treated and will be able to return to the battlefield."

“Thousands? No?”

Okamura Yasuji shook his head and said, "You are wrong, there are tens of thousands!"

"Ten thousand?" Miyano said, "According to information, the total number of casualties in the Eighth Route Army in this offensive was only about 20,000, most of them were only slightly injured."

"That's now," said Okamura Yasuji.

"There is still a lot of medicines to save tens of thousands of people!"

"Imagine that tens of thousands of elite veterans who have been seriously injured will return to the battlefield?"

"What a terrible thing will this be? How much harm will it cause to the North China Front Army?"

"That may not be necessary," Miyano said, "If there is only medicine, if there is no hospital, it may not be able to treat the wounded."

"Hmm?" Okamura Niji said with a look of expression, "Miyono, what do you mean? What you said just now seems to mean something?"

"Hayi!"

Miyanoda paused and said, "I mean, as long as the Eighth Route Army hospital is destroyed and all the medical staff of the Eighth Route Army will be killed, then all these medicines will become decorations. What's more, while destroying the Eighth Route Army hospital, this batch of medicines can also be destroyed."

Okamura Yasuji heard something and said in a deep voice: "You mean to launch a revenge?"

"Yes, the Imperial Army must launch a tit-for-tat revenge." Miyano Daoichi said.

After pausing, Miyano Daoyi said again and again: "Before this, with the continuous defeat of the Central Army in China, the resistance forces in China were declining and declining. Wang Sang's theory of saving the country had become the mainstream. However, the Eighth Route Army engaged in a 100-regiment war and severely damaged the Imperial Army on the battlefield, which completely reversed the situation."
