my bright sword career

Chapter 260 The More The Better
Seeing this general wearing the rank of lieutenant general, Shinozuka Yoshio's expression became complicated, and he smiled wryly after a long time: "Yan Song-kun... I didn't expect the headquarters to send you here."

The person who came in, Yoshio Shinozuka, knew him. His name was Yoshio Iwamatsu. Speaking of which, both of them were alumni of the Imperial Army University, but Yoshio Shinozuka was in the 23rd period, and Yoshio Iwamatsu was in the 30th period. of.

Yoshio Iwamatsu walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka and bowed slightly to him, "Your Excellency...I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion after our separation three years ago."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly: "You are calm and conservative. If you were the commander of the First Army in the past, it would be no problem, but the situation in Shanxi is too turbulent now. It would be a shame for you to take over this mess in this situation." It's not very suitable. Forget it, it's not my turn to worry about these things now, but before I leave, I will give you a piece of advice, be careful of that Gao Hongming and his Liantai militia, otherwise my day will be yours Tomorrow. Well, you can read the orders from Base Camp."

It stands to reason that although the other party is his junior and is on the same level as himself, Yoshio Shinozuka should be more polite to him and save some face, but Yoshio Shinozuka is already the one who is going to leave, and he is still Walked in such a dishonorable way, so I was not very polite when I spoke.

Yoshio Iwamatsu gave a wry smile, took out a document from his briefcase and read: "No. He was able to strictly implement His Majesty the Emperor's political will, so that the situation in Shanxi deteriorated sharply, so the base camp decided to transfer him back to the mainland for investigation, and his position was taken over by Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the Taiwan Central Army.

Another: After seeing this order, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately followed the military police and returned by special plane without delay. This order... February 16, Showa [-], Chief of Staff Sugiyama Moto of the Army Staff Headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters! "

After reading, Yoshio Iwamatsu bowed slightly to Yoshio Shinozuka, and handed him the document with both hands, "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, your private plane is waiting for you at the airport."

Shinozuka Yoshio was not hypocritical, and after the document, he took out a pen and quickly signed his name, and said lightly to the two military policemen from the mainland who had been standing behind him since he came in: "Let's go, but Don't keep the plane waiting!"

After speaking, he strode out of the office, followed by two military policemen.

It's just that as soon as the three of them walked out of the door, they saw that there were already hundreds of people standing outside the door.

All of these people were saddened, and many of them even shed tears.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka come out, no one spoke, but silently looked at the three people who came out. Many people even showed resentment in the eyes of the two military policemen who followed Yoshio Shinozuka.

Seeing such a situation, the two military policemen jumped in shock, and involuntarily pressed their right hands on the holster around their waists, but then put their hands back as if they were electrocuted.

This is the headquarters of the First Army. If I really dare to shoot here, I will definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest in less than a minute.

Fortunately, Yoshio Shinozuka spoke up in time, "What do you want to do? Don't forget that you are all soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty. I'm just going back to my hometown to accept investigation. What does this expression mean? See you off for me?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are a senior general of the Great Japanese Empire, how could you receive such disgraceful treatment!"

"The base camp shouldn't treat the heroes of the empire like this!"

"Yes, we want to jointly complain to His Majesty the Emperor about the shameless behavior of the base camp!"

The officers said something to each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and it seemed that they were about to make a fuss.

"idiot!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's voice sounded in the hall, and he stared at everyone with wide eyes: "I repeat, I just went back to the mainland for investigation, and the base camp hasn't punished me yet. All you have to do is Do your part well, obey the orders of the new commander, wipe out all the Chinese rebel forces in Shanxi, and bring Shanxi into the territory of the empire, instead of complaining about me, a bad old man, understand?"

Although Yoshio Shinozuka was dismissed, Yu Wei was still there after all. After seeing his anger, the officers all lowered their heads, not daring to speak anymore, and then moved out of the way.

Only then did the three of Shinozuka Yoshio continue to move forward, until they left the headquarters and got into the car, the two military policemen breathed a sigh of relief, and urged the driver to leave here and rush to the airport...

In fact, it was not just the two gendarmes who were relieved, and Yoshio Iwamatsu did the same.

Before he came, he had never talked about Yoshio Shinozuka's prestige in the First Army. If Yoshio Shinozuka hadn't stopped the excited officer just now, something big might happen.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka would definitely bear the main responsibility if something happened, but it would also be a huge blow to his prestige as the newly appointed commander, so from the bottom of his heart he was unwilling to see this scene happen.

Fortunately for him, Chief of Staff Naozaburo Okabe cooperated with him very much, and soon handed over the work of the First Army to him in detail, and explained the main problems currently facing him.

"You mean, just this morning, the Chinese people have captured Weijiazhuang, Nanhuaihua, Caijiagang, and Jiehepu, and have formed a siege around Xinkou. They may launch a general attack on Xinkou at any time?"

"Yes, Commander." Naozaburo Okabe replied with a serious expression, "Once there is a loss in Xinkou, the Jinsui Army can go straight to Taiyuan along the railway, and we will have no danger at that time."

"Damn!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu hammered the table hard and made a muffled bang. Although he had expected that the situation in Shanxi was not good before coming, he did not expect the situation to be so severe.

Where is Taiyuan? It is the capital of Shanxi and the headquarters of the First Army. Now it is directly threatened by the Chinese, and it is the Jinsui Army that was beaten by them four years ago. This is really ridiculous. up.

"What about the reinforcements, do we have any reinforcements we can deploy?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the military strength in Taiyuan is very tense now. Our troops have been scattered to various cities in Shanxi. At present, the only troops we can use are the Ninth Brigade and the No.30 Seventh Division stationed in Taiyuan."

"No... The 37th Division is our only reserve team. It must not be moved. Immediately send a telegram to the Ninth Brigade, asking him to quickly reinforce Xinkou, and send a report to the commander of Gangcun, asking him to rush Send planes over, the more the better."

"Hi!"
