All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 146, the latest information
The morning sun shines in from the window, and the teacups on the low table are filled with the fragrance of tea.

The very artistic picture is worthy of the status of the two generals.

Chief of Staff Miyano, who dispatched troops from North China, looked more like a scholar than a soldier. He gracefully raised the tea bowl, sniffed it lightly, and put it down after taking a sip.

"The taste is fresh and refreshing, and the aroma is rich and refreshing. This must be Longjing tea from China."

"Indeed, it is the best Mingqian Longjing. It was given to me by an old comrade in the South China War Zone. Miyano-kun is interested, so I will ask someone to pack some for you."

Yoshio Youzuka picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said calmly.

Seems like a trivial thing.

In the war years, it was absolutely extravagant to transport things thousands of kilometers away by air for a little enjoyment.

Especially for the Japanese army, which is very scarce in crude oil resources, using precious resources for such enjoyment...

Of course, for Commander Youzuka Yoshio who commanded an army of [-], it was not too much enjoyment.

Listening to his words, Chief of Staff Miyano understood that the commander in front of him was reminding him that he had been in the military all his life, and many of his former colleagues and comrades in arms had already climbed to high positions in the military.

In the North China Command, there are many people who are capable of speaking for the commander, so it is implied that in the report that he will submit to the North China Command, he will use words carefully.

Chief of Staff Miyano forced a smile. To be honest, he didn't want to take this kind of thing that offended the seniors in the military.

But who let him catch up!

A large-scale raid organized more than 30,000 people, and the cowhide has been blown out. It is bound to destroy the Eighth Route Base and deal a major blow to the Eighth Route Army.

The result is Le!
No matter how loudly the cowhide is blown, the slap in the face will be as hard as it is.

The two infantry regiments couldn't take down the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and they still haven't won by bullying the few.

This is something that has rarely happened since the Imperial Japanese Army started the war.

In addition, a brigade was disabled and 4000 people were killed or injured, which is enough to be called the shame of the First Army since the war.

The face of the entire North China was dull and was reprimanded by the base camp.

Chief of Staff Miyano was ordered to investigate, and it took him two full months. If the problems reported were not salty or bland, how would he explain the past?
Yoshio Youzuka is such a shrewd person, he can become a lieutenant general commander not only because of his ability to lead troops to fight, but also because of his human sophistication.

He naturally saw the embarrassment of Chief of Staff Miyano, and said to Kazuki Yamamoto standing on one side:

"Yamamoto-kun, I asked you to investigate the Eight Routes. Now, let's talk about your investigation results in front of Chief of Staff Miyano."

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto stood at attention and responded solemnly.

In fact, he had already reported the collected information to Commander Youzuka Yoshio last night.

Today, in front of Chief of Staff Miyano, the commander gave him a chance to show his face and report.

"General, the main reason for the failure of that sweep is very clear. The Eighth Route Army has received leapfrog enhancements in terms of weapons, and it is completely stronger than our Great Japanese Imperial Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto's words were nodded and approved by Chief of Staff Miyano. The members of their investigation team were in the various troops participating in the war, and the conclusions drawn from the investigation were consistent with it.

It is really embarrassing for soldiers of the imperial army with [-] Dagaier to beat the Balu with submachine guns.

But such a conclusion is unsatisfactory. Chief of Staff Miyano agreed, and Commander Tada Hayao would not agree either.

Kazuki Yamamoto naturally understood, and continued: "Through the efforts of the intelligence department, we have obtained two conventional weapons that Eighth Route is currently equipping."

"Oh?" Chief of Staff Miyano raised his head slightly, and said in surprise, "Where is the thing, can you let me have a look?"

"Of course, General, please move."

The three of them came to the top of the city gate. Below it was a drawn military restricted zone. The newly reorganized Yamamoto Special Forces acted as a tool for displaying weapons.

"Peng Peng, Peng Peng..."

The earthen jars that served as targets were all smashed to pieces under the precise shooting.

When Chief of Staff Miyano cast a surprised look, Kazuki Yamamoto introduced just right:
"This gun is called aK[-] assault rifle, it uses [-]mm rifle ammunition, the magazine can hold [-] rounds, and it can be used for single-shot and continuous-fire.

The recoil is relatively large, and the effective range is 400 meters, which is 200 meters more than the submachine gun.The submachine gun used by the Eighth Route Army in the mouth of our soldiers is this gun. "

Yamamoto beckoned to the soldier below, and the soldier grabbed the rope hanging on the wall, climbed up directly, and handed him the gun.

Chief of Staff Miyano had never seen a soldier dressed in such a strange way before.

In the past, he would definitely ask a few more questions, but now he is more interested in the mysterious assault rifle equipped on a large scale by the Eighth Router.

After receiving the submachine gun handed over by Kazuki Yamamoto, Chief of Staff Miyano took a look at the magazine and put it back on. The muzzle of the gun pointed at the earthen pot placed under the tower, and he pulled the trigger for single-shot and continuous-fire respectively. .

The first is physical sensation.

The recoil when shooting was transmitted to the shoulders through the butt of the gun, making his shoulders numb, and he had a clear feeling of the recoil of this gun.

But this is not the point, Chief of Staff Miyano couldn't hide his shock: "This... can no longer be called a rifle, it is more than enough to be used as a light machine gun.

And our soldiers can't imagine, it's simply unimaginable to face the eight roads that are all equipped with this kind of light machine gun. "

Yoshio Youzuka followed with emotion: "Yes, I think if it wasn't for the fact that the Eighth Route Army hadn't acquired the weapons for a short time and hadn't fully mastered them proficiently, then we would have suffered even worse defeats."

Deferring the responsibility for the defeat of the war to the strength of the enemy's weapons can reduce one's own responsibility.

On the other hand, it is clear that the enemy's strength is strong, and the higher-ups are aware of it, so that more support can come.

Youzuka Yoshio is definitely an old fox.

"General, in fact, being equipped with this kind of assault rifle comparable to a light machine gun is only one of the advantages gained by the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto struck while the iron was hot and waved to the following.

Two soldiers carried bazookas and aimed at a machine gun sand fort built with sandbags, and a bazooka came to destroy the display.

After the thick smoke from the explosion dissipated, the wooden dummy behind the sand barrier was completely blown off and turned into a charred block of wood.

What if there is a machine gun team manipulating the Type [-] heavy machine gun behind that?
The results couldn't be more clear.

Kazuki Yamamoto explained: "This is the recoilless gun that the soldiers said, and the real name should be the rocket launcher.

It can be easily operated by two soldiers, and the direct-point shooting has a good accuracy at around 200 meters. It can be used to destroy gun towers, forts, and tanks. It has many functions. "

The twelve chariots of the mobile brigade were destroyed by this weapon.

I heard that the Eighth Route Army has a lot of equipment, and there is one for every 30 people.

Chief of Staff Miyano opened his mouth slightly, and sighed for a long time: "The bazooka is better than the imperial army's grenade launcher.

With such a weapon, it’s no wonder that our cage policy, which we carefully designed, ended without a problem. "

The release of the cage policy, after repeated discussions and studies, their North China Command unanimously agreed that they are optimistic.

Under the guidance of Commander Tada Hayao, it was quickly applied throughout North China.

After a period of time, it can be said that it has achieved very good results.

Especially in the Jizhong Plain area, the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were once cut into small squares.

The generals there call it a base that can be penetrated with a single shot.

The Eighth Route Army, which has no room for movement, cannot fight guerrilla warfare, and the end can be imagined.

In Shanxi, because of the addition of such a weapon to the Eight Route Army, the original and effective cage policy was completely overthrown. In the eyes of Chief of Staff Miyano, it has to be said that it is a pity.

"If all the troops of the Eighth Route Army are equipped with such weapons, the soldiers of our Great Japanese Imperial Army can't easily destroy them, so it makes sense."

Chief of Staff Miyano's evaluation was also a statement, Yoshio Youzuka heard it right away, but he was still not very satisfied, because the threat of Eight Routes was far more than that.

Kazuki Yamamoto, who got the hint from his eyes, continued:

"The general's words are wrong. The Eighth Route Army has a more powerful weapon. One can match the firepower of an artillery battalion. It is still a large caliber of [-]mm.

In the battle of Toudaogou, the Eight Route Army suppressed us with only two more than 20 artillery pieces.After their follow-up support arrived, they easily destroyed our heavy artillery brigade.

The Eighth Route Army has such a powerful ability to suppress artillery fire. Let alone the Imperial Army wiped out the Eighth Route Army, it would be a blessing not to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. "

Even Chief of Staff Miyano, who has just been here for two months, has heard about Kazuki Yamamoto's pride.

It is impossible for a proud person to think that he is worse than the enemy, but Kazuki Yamamoto's statement at this time is really unexpected.

Chief of Staff Miyano didn't quite believe something that was completely out of his knowledge, and asked questioningly:
"A single cannon is worth a battalion of artillery, pardon my ignorance, I can't figure it out yet.

What kind of weapon would this be, wouldn't it come from hearsay? "

In fact, everyone will question after learning the information, and Kazuki Yamamoto didn't believe it at first.

However, a person's information can be false. The three spies who broke into the Eighth Route Army all reported in this way, and even attached pictures, so it has to be believed.

Chief of Staff Miyano got the intelligence manuscript and read it carefully. Seeing the twelve barrels on the drawing and the detailed description, his previous doubts were answered.

"If the weapon is as good as it says it is, I have no doubt that it's worth a battalion of artillery."

Chief of Staff Miyano first gave affirmation, but then raised new doubts: "What is the principle of the weapon?
Obviously, it is not simply welding twelve barrels together to fire shells.

I think there is only one real thing that can allow me to convince the headquarters and let the generals in the base camp know how powerful the enemy we are facing. "

The request he made was very reasonable, but it was very difficult.

Kazuki Yamamoto got the ak [-] and the rocket launcher, but he didn't get the rocket launcher, which already explains the problem.

Youzuka Yoshio said to the embarrassed Yamamoto: "It is a difficulty but also an opportunity. I wonder if you are sure?"

The leader asked if there was any, but it must be.

Kazuki Yamamoto knew that he had no room to back down, so he had no choice but to agree.

Chief of Staff Miyano also nodded in satisfaction. He thought that he and his party would fly back to Beiping tomorrow, and suddenly remembered that the plane was shot down.

It was a matter of his own life and the situation of the battle, so he was naturally very concerned about it.

"About the fact that the plane of the flying team was shot down, have you found any information, and did the Eighth Route use some novel weapon to cause this?"

"Yes." Kazuki Yamamoto was prepared.

Of course, he will never forget the fact that he was fighting on the ground and air, but was completely shattered by the mysterious prevention and control weapons of the Eight Routes.

The second goal of intelligence personnel is to inquire about this matter.

The hard work paid off, the general blueprint and general performance of the anti-aircraft missile were all compiled into a piece of information, which was enough to solve the confusion for Chief of Staff Miyano.

Not surprisingly, Chief of Staff Miyano was shocked after reading it, but still maintained a certain skeptical attitude.

It is required to collect at least one copy to explain to the superior.

Kazuki Yamamoto's scalp was numb, and things fell down again. He had no other choice but to promise a guarantee.

Of course, he knew very well that it was a great achievement to get this done.

Not only can it show its face in front of the generals above, if such an advanced weapon is imitated by the empire, it will definitely have an extraordinary effect when it is put on the battlefield.

Regardless of the purpose, this matter can only succeed and not fail.

Chief of Staff Miyano leaned on the city wall and thought uneasy: "The Eighth Route has these four new weapons, which are stronger than the Imperial Army in ground combat, and also have air defense capabilities, which greatly weakens the role of the flying team.

If the 30,000 Route Army is equipped, the good days of the First Army will come to an end.If two [-] people are equipped, I am afraid that Shanxi will change. "

A sandstorm blew, and the sky was already red.

Chief of Staff Miyano came back to his senses and turned around to go back, when he suddenly asked, "Is there no other new weapon on the eighth road?"

This is another deadly problem.

Kazuki Yamamoto was not sure, he said ambiguously: "At present, there is no such thing, but we will not be sure in the future. After all, we have not found the mysterious channel to provide new weapons to Eight Roads."

Such an answer naturally did not satisfy Chief of Staff Miyano, he turned his head and said to Youzuka Yoshio:
"I will explain the situation to His Excellency Tada Jun for you, and all kinds of resources will definitely try their best to satisfy you.

But if we can't cut off the source of weapons of the Eighth Route Army, let the momentum spread in Shanxi and spread to the whole of North China, it is unacceptable to all of us. "

The words are a little heavy, but they are also true.

Youzuka Yoshio naturally understood, nodded slightly and said: "I will order the intelligence department to find it at all costs. The more weapons you get, the more noise you get. This channel can't be hidden for long."

Hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto suddenly felt a mountain pressing down on his head.

Why do you feel that your position as the adjutant of the Eighth Route Intelligence has become a dark cauldron?
