Chapter 290 Yoshio Shinozuka: The Situation Is Great!
Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Major General, Deputy Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, Lieutenant General, Commander of the 2nd Guards Division, and 3 Da Zuo Yusui, more than 3000 soldiers were killed or injured.

The base camp was extremely shocked.

But all these things happened in the jurisdiction of the First Army, and he, the commander of the First Army, couldn't get away with it.

Lieutenant Assistant Itaya Mingxian, who was in charge of stationing at Niangziguan Station, survived the bombing of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, Itaya Mingxian became the blame man logically, and was ordered to have a caesarean section by Shinozuka Yoshio to apologize.

Although he found a scapegoat, Shinozuka Yoshio also shed his skin, and was named and criticized by the Japanese army base and the emperor.

If he continues to lose, his position as commander will have to be removed.

Although Akira Muto has only recently served as the head of the 2nd Guards Division, he is after all the people around the emperor, and the emperor of Japan was angry at his death.

The Emperor of Japan ordered the Japanese North China Front Army to wipe out all the Chinese troops in North China as soon as possible and end the security war.

For the time being, the devils did not dare to enter the base area to raid, so they could only attack the people in the guerrilla zone.

"After multiple investigations by the intelligence agencies, the one who bombarded Niangziguan station this time was Li Yunlong, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

Intelligence staff officer An Teng Wunan glanced anxiously at the commander whose complexion was gradually darkening, and said with a bow.

The staff officers of the headquarters are all spreading the word that Your Excellency the Commander has sharp swordsmanship, and he chopped all the tables, chairs, and vases in the office into pieces with just a dozen knives.

He was really afraid that Yoshio Shinozuka would suddenly strike him with a knife when he heard the bad news. With the commander's sword skills and the sharpness of the lieutenant general's command knife, An Teng had no doubt that the commander could cut him in two with one knife.

Shinozuka Yoshio was already extremely dissatisfied with the intelligence department, not to mention, because of successive information leaks, Shinozuka Yoshio had become extremely suspicious.

Not to mention these trusted staff officers, even Yamamoto, who he has always favored, no longer has the trust of the past.

"Li Yunlong?"

Now that Shinozuka Yoshio heard this name, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Hearing this name before, he wished he could cut off Li Yunlong's head and use it as a chamber pot.

But now Yoshio Shinozuka was a little afraid to hear this name.

Because every time this name appears, especially when it comes from the mouth of the staff officer, nothing good happens, and it means that the First Army has suffered heavy losses.

Other troops of the Eighth Route Army would at most build artillery towers and strongholds, and would not be able to ambush a transport convoy, or wreak havoc on railways and roads.

But this Li Yunlong, every time he makes a big move, the first army must suffer heavy losses every time he makes a move, which has almost become a rule.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to practice sword skills, Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Put down the investigation report, and go and invite Nakasa Kato, the head of the special high school."

"Hi!" Takenan An Teng carefully placed the investigation report on the table, then turned and retreated.

"Report!" About 10 minutes later, the voice of Kato Masaaki, the head of the special high school, sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kato Masaaki walked to the desk and paused, "Are you looking for me?"

"Kato-kun, how is the training of the female spy?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked.

"It's difficult to make progress, Commander, please give me some more time!" Masaaki Kato said suddenly.

"Oh?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "What's the problem?"

"That group of idiots killed her whole family in front of her. Although she confessed in front of torture, she already hated the imperial army deeply."

Masaki Kato said: "It will not happen overnight to train her to be a spy for the imperial army."

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka's face gradually darken, Masaaki Kato hurriedly said again: "It is difficult for a woman who has never seen the world to resist money and temptation. As long as the first step of brainwashing is successful, the rest will be easy to handle."

"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio's face turned better, "The First Army has suffered a crushing defeat in intelligence warfare, Kato-kun, do you have any good suggestions?"

The Central Army in Zhongtiaoshan has long been infiltrated by Japanese agents and spies into a sieve.

As for the spies and agents of the Japanese army, most of the spies disappeared after entering the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

And although a small number of spies can still be contacted, they dare not activate it easily, because once it is activated, it will soon reveal its flaws.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army were clearly organized, not to mention the top ranks, it was difficult for Japanese spies to penetrate even the bottom ranks.

Even when the Eighth Route Army launched such a big battle as the Hundred Regiments War, the top Japanese army did not receive a single bit of information, and it took a long time until the battle started to react.

However, Li Yunlong's Department of the Eighth Route Army has frequently attacked, which shows that the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army has the upper hand and can always launch a fatal blow at critical moments.

In particular, the eight-way spies hiding in the top ranks of the First Army have not revealed their flaws until now.

Yoshio Shinozuka doubts everyone now, including himself.

Kato Masaaki said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Special High School has recently trained a group of spies and agents. I originally planned to send these spies and agents to Mount Zhongtiao. If your Excellency the Commander agrees, you can send these people Sent to the bandit area in the southeast of Shanxi."

"It's winter right now, and there are a lot of refugees flooding into the area of ​​the Eight Route Bandits, and the Eight Route Route is also accepting these refugees."

"Spies and secret agents can be mixed among these refugees. Most of these personnel are native Chinese, and their identities will not arouse suspicion."

"Yoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said happily, "Then send them all to the bandit area in southeast Shanxi to collect information on the Eighth Route Headquarters and Li Yunlong."

"Kato-kun, you arrange this matter yourself."

"Hi!" Kato Masaaki paused, then walked out quickly.

Not long after the head of the special high school left, Kusuyama Hideyoshi walked in quickly holding a telegram, with a look of joy on his face.

"Your Excellency, there is good news."

"What good news?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked with a flickering expression.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi's tone was pleasantly surprised: "I just came from the communication room, Lieutenant Kasai reported that the headquarters of the Front Army just sent a telegram, and the base camp is going to provide our First Army with 1 division battle ammunition to solve the Shanxi Eighth Route banditry. telegraph."

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression lifted, he took the telegram from Kusuyama Hideyoshi, glanced at it and then stood up, his expression couldn't help being happy.

"Fortune is for misfortune, and misfortune is for blessing." Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly turned hot, "It's really a blessing in disguise."

The ammunition for a division battle is 1 tons of weapons, ammunition and supplies.

弹药具体是：1把步枪400发子弹，1挺轻机枪8000发子弹，1挺重机枪23000发子弹，1门速射炮900发炮弹，1门山野炮2000发炮弹，1门105毫米火炮1000发炮弹，1门150榴弹炮600发炮弹，1门240毫米榴弹炮400发炮弹。

This means that the first army is about to fight the battle of prosperity.

Although Japan is an industrial country, its resources are poor, and its reserves of war materials have been almost exhausted. After the Battle of Wuhan, it can no longer launch a large offensive in the Chinese battlefield, and can only rely on plundering resources to support wars.

For example, in the Battle of Nuomenkan, the Japanese army had only 0.2 ammunition for the battle of divisions and regiments. There were a total of 82 cannons, with only 1 shells, and an average of 366 shells per cannon.

However, the Soviet army counterattacked in August alone, and the ammunition it used exceeded the ammunition for the 8 divisions of the Japanese army, which was a full 3 tons of ammunition.

"Your Excellency, this is expected."

Nanshan Hideyoshi's tone was disdainful: "The group of mud-legged people did exceed our expectations, and they caused some disturbances, but the more they jumped, the more attention they attracted from the headquarters."

"In the final analysis, China is just a poor and backward country, although Tubalu has received some external assistance."

"But don't talk about Tuba Road, even the Chinese government's large-scale foreign aid is vulnerable."

"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile."

"Even so, you can't be careless." Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Balu has always been very cunning."

There is no doubt that a division will replenish its ammunition into the First Army, and the combat effectiveness of the First Army will be greatly improved.

However, the biggest problem in eliminating the Eighth Route Army is not the lack of ammunition, but that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army without a decisive battle with the devils.

This was also the biggest headache for Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi said again: "Commander Tada Hayao urges our First Army to repair the railway as soon as possible, so as to ensure the smooth transportation of the division's ammunition and supplies into Shanxi."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Order all the engineers and soldiers to speed up the reconstruction of the railway. The Zhengtai Railway must be open to traffic within a month!"

"Hi!" Nanshan Hideyoshi said first, "At present, the 14th Brigade is about to arrive in Taiyuan, the 18th Brigade has arrived in Datong, and the 2th and 4th Wings of the 5nd Guards Division will also arrive within three days Arrived in Yangquan."

The 2th and 4th Wings of the 5nd Guards Division were already on the way, only a few days later than the 3rd Wing.

The eliminated division headquarters and the severely damaged 3rd Regiment needed to be redeployed from the mainland.

"Yoxi!" Yoshio Shinozuka let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the great situation.

When the 2nd Guards Division, 2 brigades and ammunition for a division battle arrive, the situation in Shanxi will be very different.

The good days of Balu are coming to an end.

Yoshio Shinozuka never imagined that he could wipe out all the Eight Routes in Shanxi.

After fighting with the Eight Routes for so long, he knew that this was simply impossible. Even if the Japanese army turned the Eight Routes base into no-man's land, they would not be able to completely eliminate the Eight Routes.

But there is still hope for eliminating most of the eight roads.

"Mr. Nanshan, the base camp has prepared all the troops and supplies for the First Army, and it will be up to you next."

"You must make an impeccable battle plan to ensure the success of the next spring raid."

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi said confidently, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the troops and supplies are very sufficient, and my confidence is even greater."

It is undoubtedly a complex and cumbersome task to formulate a battle plan, especially a battle plan for a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

The battle plan must be detailed. Proper arrangements must be made for the departure time, arrival time, and marching route of each participating army, as well as food and water supplies for the troops on the way. It may lead to the collapse of the entire war situation.

The brain of a person who formulates a battle plan is like a large-scale precision calculation instrument. Not only must he formulate a battle plan, but he must also take into account all possible problems and formulate a detailed emergency plan.

Therefore, some generals can only command tens of thousands of troops at most, while others can command hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops to fight.
