Rise from the sword

Chapter 100 Li Yunlong?Find him for me and chop off his head!

Taiyuan.

Inside the First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka sat behind the square table and looked at the newspaper on the table with interest.

This is a small newspaper of very poor printing quality.

Poor ink, rough single-ply pulp paper, indicating that it was printed in a hand-crafted workshop.The information in the newspaper is only a simple picture and a line of words.

The picture shows a man in the Eighth Route Army uniform holding a shell gun and standing solemnly. Unfortunately, the poor quality printing makes it impossible to distinguish his appearance, but we can vaguely see the man's rough facial features and the fierceness that belongs to the soldiers.

As for the text, Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't know Chinese characters, but it doesn't matter. There is a complete and exquisite Japanese translation beside the table, which translates the words on the newspaper into Chinese characters one by one.

"Zhang Dabiao..."

"Special Forces..."

"It turns out that Ikeda-kun was originally killed by this person..."

Shinozuka Yoshio narrowed his eyes, but there was no obvious anger on his expression.

For him, who was in charge of the tens of thousands of the First Army in Shanxi, the jade piece of a lieutenant and the death of hundreds of warriors from the second-tier imperial division in Yangquan were not enough to trigger his uncontrollable anger.

However, this news made him take a high look at the Eighth Route Army, which he has always called the Beggar Army:
"It seems that there are still some talented people in the Eighth Route Army. Some people actually understand the concept of special operations."

Speaking to himself, Yoshio Shinozuka thought about it and said to the staff officer across the table:
"Go and ask Mr. Yamamoto to come to me!"

"Hi" the staff quickly left.

Soon, Yamamoto Kazuki, who always had a straight face, walked into Yoshio Shinozuka's headquarters in a devil's uniform with a samurai sword on his waist.

"Yamamoto-kun, look, this is a newspaper that has recently appeared in Taiyuan and the entire North China region."

Shinozuka Yoshio handed the original newspaper in his hand to Yamamoto Kazuki.

Yamamoto Kazuki still had a stern face, took the newspaper and looked at it expressionlessly, but when he saw the last serious face, he could no longer hold back, showing obvious anger:
"General, it has been less than two months since my special team came from the mainland to Shanxi. In such a short period of time, the Eighth Route Army has mastered the detailed information of my special team, and even launched precise revenge on my previous military operations. Attack and kill the leader of my special team."

"Combined with the previously seized information."

"In such an event, the internal forces of the Imperial Army must be involved."

"Yamamoto-kun."

Shinozuka Yoshio glanced at his favorite general, shook his head and said helplessly:

"I know, you have a problem with me stopping the investigation of the First Army Staff"

"But the investigation that lasted for more than ten days did not find any evidence to prove that someone from the First Army's staff was involved in this matter. Instead, people were panicking, and even the North China Front Army Headquarters was disturbed. Your Excellency Commander strictly ordered me to stop This kind of behavior undermines the morale of the First Army."

"The dozen or so captured originals that I handed over to the headquarters are also suspected to be deliberately left by the Eighth Route Army to undermine the internal stability of our imperial army."

"Unless there is strong evidence, my investigation must stop."

"Hi!"

Hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes flashed fiercely, and he lowered his head to respond.

Seeing that Yamamoto was soft, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and continued:
"As for the country, the investigation into the itinerary of Colonel Ikeda Jiuichi and the cause of the leak of personal data also encountered obstacles, and the local general Honjo blocked the investigation."

Shinozuka Yoshio is only a lieutenant general. In the strict hierarchy of the Japanese army, lower-level officers must maintain absolute respect for their superiors.But when he talked about this general of Honjo, he didn't mean the slightest respect, but his tone was full of disdain.

"Benzhuang Fan!"

Yamamoto Kazuki didn't even add the general suffix, calling him by his first name: "Why is he hindering our investigation?"

"I don't know..."

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and turned over the topic: "What do you think of this so-called Eighth Route Army Special Forces?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this topic, Yamamoto snorted and his tone was full of disdain: "It's just a bunch of stupid farmers. I don't know where they heard the idea of ​​special forces, and then they set up special forces."

"To use one of their words to describe it, that is to sit in a well and watch the sky!"

"If it was my special team, under the same circumstances, I could cause them at least dozens of times of damage, and even cause panic in the rear."

"It won't be like this group of guys who can't tell whether it is a farmer or an army, and only know how to attack a military station."

After speaking, Yamamoto's face was full of disdain.

Special forces should be dispatched with strategic goals. Even if they are attacked behind enemy lines, they should destroy an important hub such as a railway station, instead of attacking a military station in a town in an occupied area for a few tons of medicine.

This is a complete insult to the name Special Forces.

Ridiculous.

"But Yamamoto-kun."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and said in a serious tone:

"According to the recent reports of the garrisoned troops in various cities, since this news appeared, the guerrillas' attacks on the imperial army have increased significantly, and the only people in the occupied areas have also significantly increased their resistance."

"Although the resistance has weakened after the suppression of the garrisoned troops in various places, it is still much larger than before, and many people even left to join the Eighth Route Army. From this point of view."

"I have to admit that this group of idiots has been very successful in publicity, although the actual losses to the Imperial Army are minimal."

At the end of the sentence, Yoshio Shinozuka's tone became sarcastic again.

Although this old devil was serious about this matter, in his heart, he still looked down on the Eighth Route Army, whom he had always regarded as a beggar.

What kind of things can a group of troops that can't even satisfy their weapons and ammunition?How big a wave can it make?

"General, do you want me to deal with the so-called special forces of the independent regiment?"

Yamamoto returned to his stern face.

"Correct!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said indifferently, "Find this group of people, tear him apart, and chop off his head. Since they plan to erect a hero, then I will kill this hero!"

"Hi! General!"

Yamamoto Kazuki raised his head and said in a proud tone:

"Although this kind of action is a bit overkill for my special team, since it is the general's request and I don't have any combat missions recently, then I will treat it as a routine training for the special team."

"I have already sent someone to retrieve the information on Zhang Dabiao of this independent regiment, and it should be coming soon."

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and nodded, satisfied with Yamamoto Izuki's answer.

As for Yamamoto's arrogant attitude, he doesn't care, after all, this person is really capable, and Yoshio Shinozuka has always been very generous to those who are capable.

"Better bring this person's head here!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes flashed.

This group of beggars dared to play a propaganda war with the Imperial Japanese Army!Then I will hang the head of the 'hero' you promote at the gate of Taiyuan City, so that those who dare to resist will see the end of the resistance.

At that time, who would dare to resist?

"this is very simple!"

Yamamoto's tone was still arrogant, as if this was going to an orchard to pick a fruit.

"General!"

Outside, the staff officer in charge of intelligence collection walked in with a folder:

"You asked to collect the detailed information on Zhang Dabiao of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, but I asked the intelligence department and the special high-tech department, and I could not find any information about this person. I only know that this person is a member of the former Northwest Army and is currently serving as a battalion in the Independent Regiment. long."

"idiot!"

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said in a stern tone: "Instruct the intelligence department to investigate quickly!"

Can't find a specific target, so how to kill this person?

"Hi, General!" The staff officer bowed his head and responded.

"and many more."

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly called out the staff officer who was about to leave and asked, "This person is just the battalion commander. Who is the commander of this independent regiment?"

"The head of the independent regiment is Li Yunlong, general!"

The staff officer bowed his head in fear: "We haven't found the details of this person either!"

The head of a regular regiment of the Eighth Route Army did not establish a detailed information file. This is a serious dereliction of duty by the intelligence department. Although it is not his business, the staff members are afraid of being slapped for it.

"Li Yunlong!"

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up abruptly: "Sakata Sakata also died in this person's hands."

"That Li Yunlong who defeated Bantian United at Cangyunling?"

Yamamoto Kazuki's tone was also surprised.

"Hi, it's this person! The intelligence services are already fully investigating the details of this person."

The staff responded quickly.

"Order the intelligence services to find information on this person at all costs."

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his face was distorted: "Yamamoto-kun, you are in charge of investigating Li Yunlong of this independent regiment, and you must cut off this head!"

Li Yunlong.

He remembered this man so vividly.

The elite infantry regiment of the Fifth Division of the North China Front Army was defeated by the troops led by this man from the front, and even the regiment leader Sakata Nobuzhe was killed.This incident was once reduced to the laughing stock of the entire Chinese Expeditionary Army.

The elite infantry regiment of the dignified standing division was actually defeated by the Eighth Route Army of the Beggars.

The news reached the base camp and the emperor for a while.So much so that the North China Front Army suffered a big loss in the distribution of weapons and materials.

This is the North China Front Army, and it is also a great disgrace for the First Army.

The shame must be washed away by donating blood.

Yoshio Shinozuka's killing intent towards Li Yunlong can be said to be eager to cut his heart out.

"Hi!"

Yamamoto's tone was still arrogant, and his eyes were full of disdain.

A wing of the dignified permanent division was actually defeated by a peasant force like the Eighth Route Army, and even the commander of the wing was killed.Sure enough, what I thought was right, most of the so-called army officers of the Imperial Army were rubbish.

This old devil, Yamamoto, has always looked down on other army officers.

He paused and said proudly:

"General, it won't be long before I send Li Yunlong's head to you."

"Very well, I'll be here waiting for your news."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "I will order all the departments of the First Army and the intelligence department to fully cooperate with you. Once the location of this person is investigated, Yamamoto-kun's special team can be dispatched immediately!"
