my bright sword career

Chapter 231
Taiyuan Japanese First Army Headquarters Office

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the "uninvited guest" in front of him with a very complicated expression in his eyes, and he greeted after a while: "Your Excellency, Commander, welcome to Taiyuan."

This 'uninvited guest' was also a lieutenant general of the Japanese army, who looked a few years younger than Yoshio Shinozuka.

In terms of appearance, if Shinozuka Yoshio is thin and ruthless, then this one is thin and has a trace of self-possession, and this is the Japanese original eleven who just flew from Wuhan. Army commander Gangcun Ningji.

However, Gangcun Ningci did not come here today as the commander of the [-]th Army, but as the commander of the North China Front Army.

Looking at Ningji Okamura, who was equal to him a few days ago, Shinozuka Yoshio felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, but after all, he had spent most of his life in the army, so he still had some self-cultivation, so he wouldn't show it on the spot .

However, apart from his complicated mood, Shinozuka Yoshio was still a little uneasy.

It stands to reason that, as the newly appointed commander of the North China Front Army, Gangcun Ningci went to Taiyuan on a special trip instead of attending a clinic in Peiping. Looking for him to catch up on the old days.

Neiji Okamura still looked at the former senior of the Imperial Army University in front of him, smiled lightly, and didn't go around in circles with him, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiaozuka, I just received the transfer order yesterday. Flying to Taiyuan, I just want to tell you one thing, the base camp is very dissatisfied with the situation in North China over the past year.

Someone must be responsible for the affairs of the 41st Division, the [-]th Division, and the [-]th Division. For this reason, the headquarters ordered Tada-kun to be transferred back to China, and I will take over Tada-kun's position. In the following days , I hope you can cooperate with my work well, please! "

"I would like to serve the commander!" As soon as Okamura Neiji's voice fell, Yoshio Shinozuka and the Chief of Staff Naozaburo Okabe and Kazuki Yamamoto who stood beside him quickly bowed deeply to him.

On the opposite side, the commander of the front army with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, he can talk to them so kindly now, it is to save face for them, if he dares to be ignorant, what awaits them is a storm.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka and the three of them bowing to him in unison, Ningji Okamura said lightly: "Mr. Shinozuka, now I want to tell you a piece of news. In view of the increasingly serious situation in Shanxi, the headquarters has transferred the second place from Manchuria to you. The Tenth Division came to belong to the North China Front Army, and entered Shanxi just yesterday to conduct a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

For the sake of confidentiality, the base camp did not notify you in advance, and now I will tell you, I hope you will not be offended. "

"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed instantly. The base camp mobilized a division to enter Shanxi, but did not inform him of the Commander of the First Army.

To put it mildly, this matter was for the sake of confidentiality, but to put it more seriously, it was distrust of him as the commander.

Naozaburo Okabe and Kazuki Yamamoto didn't look good. The base camp has gone too far this time. Does distrusting Shinozuka Yoshio soon mean distrusting the First Army?

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander, said some things because of his status, but Kazuki Yamamoto did not have this estimate. He immediately sneered and said: "Since the headquarters has already made arrangements, it would be great, then we will wait for the Tenth Division Good news for the regiment."

Okamura Ningji just smiled and did not speak when he heard the words, but a fat man wearing the rank of Lieutenant Commander standing behind him was not happy, stood up and stared at Yamamoto and shouted: "Baga...you are a little commander , How dare you speak disrespectfully to Your Excellency Commander, are all members of the First Army so disrespectful?"

Kazuki Yamamoto looked at him coldly, put his right hand on the hilt of the knife, and said coldly: "I'm just discussing the matter. If I say that I have no dignity, then you, a little lieutenant officer, dare to talk to me like that. Do you have to give me an explanation?

If you don't mind, we can fight in the samurai style, and I will be more than happy to learn from you. "

"you……"

The little fat man was flushed with anger, and at this moment he really wanted to shout, "Duel is duel."

It's just that when he looked at Kazuki Yamamoto, who was almost two heads taller than himself and was tall and burly, the anger that had already risen to his forehead immediately subsided.

When the little Nakazuo was in a dilemma, Neiji Okamura spoke, and he glanced at Kazuki Yamamoto lightly, "If I'm not wrong, you are Kazuki Yamamoto, who is deeply trusted by Shinozuka-kun, you have such a temper Grumpy, it's no wonder that most of your classmates have been promoted after so many years, and you are still standing still.

In this duel, I conceded defeat for Miyamoto-kun, and even if you pick up a fight, even ten of them are no match for you.But I want to explain in particular that the arrival of the Tenth Division is the idea of ​​the base camp and has nothing to do with me, so you don't have to vent your anger on me like this. "

Although Okamura Neiji spoke in a very normal tone, for some reason, Shinozuka Yoshio, Okabe Naozaburo and Yamamoto Kazuki felt a chill rise from behind.

In their feelings, Okamura Ningji standing opposite was like a poisonous snake. Although he didn't show his fangs, the gloomy smell jumped out.

Although he didn't have much time to deal with Neiji Okamura, Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well that Neji Okamura was the kind of person who couldn't express his emotions and anger. Once he held grudges in his heart, now he is the commander of the North China Front Army Officer, if you really want to embarrass a chief, Yamamoto probably won't know how he died.

Somewhat anxious, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Gangcun, although Yamamoto-kun has a bit of a temper, he is a rare special combat talent in the empire. If he offends you in any way, please take care of me." Please take care of me... please!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Ningji Gangmura again.

Okamura Ningji smiled lightly, "Xiaozuka-kun, you are worrying too much. Of course I know that Yamamoto-kun is your confidant and favorite general, and he is also a rare expert in special operations in the empire. It is too late for me to love such a talent. How can you embarrass him, you don't need to worry too much."

Having said that, he waved his hand, "Okay, let's get down to business first. The [-]th Division has just entered Shanxi and is heading towards the base of the Eighth Route Army. I believe it has already started contact with the troops of the Eighth Route Army. I hope you Can you support the Tenth Division more, can you do it?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was about to speak when a communications officer pushed the door open and handed a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Tenth Regiment of the Tenth Division has sent a telegram. Ling met the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army, and now the battle has fallen into a stalemate, hoping to get the support of the First Army Army Aviation."
