I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 1067 The word "envy" has been worn out for a long time!
In Shimen City.

The Japanese commander of the Hebei-Northern Front Army, Okamura Jining, who was stationed here, arranged for the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade and the rd Battalion of the Shimen Garrison Regiment to leave the city, and then took his guards to inspect the defense of Shimen City.

Lieutenant Colonel Ryusei Nagata, commander of the Shimen Garrison Regiment, looked like a lackey, bending over and kneeling as he led the way in front of him.

Okamura Ji Ning knew very well that before the arrival of the 57th Regiment of the st Division, the military force in Shimen City was very weak.

Once a flaw is revealed, the enemy is likely to take advantage of it!

He didn't want to experience the humiliation of Shimen City being captured by the Eighth Route Army last time again!
Although he is now ready to serve Tianhuang loyally, his sense of military honor still requires him to give out his last bit of light and heat for the great cause of the empire.

……

As a veteran of the battlefield, Okamura Jining was of course quite proficient in city defense.

At this moment, he was walking and looking on the city wall of Shimen City, and soon pointed out many loopholes in the city defense.

He trained Ritsuji Nagata, who was leading the way, like his grandson.

……

Nagata Ritsuki was forced to get up early this morning to mobilize troops to transport food and fodder, and he was already quite resentful.

At this moment, he was still scolding me like a dog, and I couldn't help but feel more dissatisfied.

I couldn't help but pretend to be cautious and said:

"Commander, weren't the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei completely wiped out by the First and Eighth Divisions?

Why are you so worried?

Are you...are you a little timid?"

Hearing what he said, Okamura Ji Ning almost got angry.

I thought: You bastard, a mere lieutenant colonel, actually dares to be so sarcastic to me! You are really courting death!
I am a person who is ready to serve the Heavenly Locust, and I am timid?
joke!

However, he was a cultured man and did not want to slap him directly in the face to make him wake up.

Instead, he restrained himself and sneered:

"Nagata-kun, as an imperial officer, you must be extremely cautious whenever you are on the battlefield!

Otherwise, not only will the warriors under his command be unable to return home, but the empire's cause will also be ruined!
Become a shame to the empire and the family!
You!!!

clear???"

Seeing him speak so harshly, Nagata Ritsuki was immediately startled and dared not to act like a demon anymore. He bowed obediently:
"Hey! I understand!"

……

At this time, a telegraph operator came hurriedly and reported to Okamura Ji Ning in a panic:
"Commander, the Eighth Division is calling!"

Okamura Ji Ning was very unhappy with his panic and immediately scolded him:

"idiot!
As a warrior, you look like a frightened rabbit, so ugly!"

When the telegraph operator was scolded, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his body wanting to rush out. He shivered and hurriedly restrained himself, fearing that the other party would give an order to have him dragged out and shot.

He didn't believe that the commander of the enemy's front would be reluctant to kill a small telegraph operator like him!

Seeing him being so cowardly that he couldn't even utter a word, Okamura Ji Ning felt even more depressed.

I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so I snatched the telegram from his hand and looked at it carefully.

Then--

His face was filled with gloom, and he suddenly tore the telegram paper in his hand into pieces, gnashing his teeth and uttering several devilish curses:

"Damn Tubalu! Damn Tubalu!!!"

Seeing that Okamura Jining, who always looked calm and composed, had completely lost his composure, Nagata Rikusuke, who was standing next to him, felt extremely happy.

Muttering to himself: You bastard, you just scolded me!
Are you dumbfounded now?

But he didn't dare show any sign on his face.

Instead, he asked out of curiosity:

"Commander, what's going on with the 8th Division?"

At this moment, Okamura Ji Ning was filled with anger, so how could he have the mood to pay attention to him?

As if he hadn't heard what he said, he immediately shouted at the telegraph operator:

"Send a telegram to Honda-kun immediately and order him to take unified command of the 1st and 8th Divisions!
Turn eastward appropriately to reorganize the army, and then report their current detailed situation to us, do not attack rashly!"

"Hi!"

When the telegraph operator saw that the other party did not slap him in the face, his heart suddenly relaxed. He quickly bowed and agreed, then turned around and left.

But at this moment, he felt relieved, and he could no longer control the urge to urinate that he had just suppressed.

A stream of heat instantly wet his pants, making his face flush instantly, and he quickened his pace and ran forward.

Seeing his expression, Okamura Ji Ning knew what had happened. He was so angry that his beard stood up and he roared:
"Baga! Coward!!!"

His roar frightened the telegraph operator to death.

He stepped on something and fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

It made the surrounding Japanese soldiers feel pain just by watching it.

……

Something happened at the front line. Okamura Jining was already in a bad mood, and when he saw this scene, he became even more furious.

I can only yell:
"waste!"

Afterwards, he didn't have the energy to continue inspecting the city's guard situation, and strode towards the city.

……

Walking into his temporary command post, Okamura Jining stood in front of the map like a statue, thinking quietly for about half an hour before sitting down at the desk and personally drafting a telegram.

After the telegram was finished, he picked it up and read it, then called a telegraph staff officer and gave the order:
"Send this telegram to Mr. Tanabe in the capital."

"Hi!"

Communications Staff Officer Major Taro Oda took it respectfully.

Then he glanced at the words on the telegram, his eyes bulged out suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground in fright.

This content is too scary!

According to the content of this telegram, the entire Jibei Front Army is about to change!

He hesitated and said:
"Commander, your telegram——"

"Baga! How dare you question my decision?"

Okamura Ji Ning was very angry today and had no interest in explaining anything to him, so he just responded coldly.

Seeing the other party's hawk-like eyes staring at him like a hungry tiger, Oda Taro was immediately frightened and his heart turned cold. How could he dare to say anything?
He quickly replied:

"I dare not. I will send the message right away!"

Then he turned around and prepared to retreat out of the house.

At this time, Okamura Ji Ning called him again and gave two orders:

"Wait!

In addition, send a telegram to the 37th, 41st and 62nd Divisions, telling them that they must speed up and reach Jinyang City at all costs!
Otherwise, military law will be applied!"

"Hi!"

"Send a telegram to the 26th Division, demanding that they break through the enemy at Xinkou within two days and quickly rush to Heyuan County via Qubei County!
I don’t want to hear any more excuses for delaying!”

"Hi!"

……

After Oda Taro left, Okamura Ji Ning walked around the room for a few more times, and finally heaved a long sigh, called the operations staff major Ueda Tomohisa, and arranged:
"Ueda-kun, go help me organize a guard troop.

Tomorrow morning, I will go to the front line in northwest Shanxi!"

Upon hearing this, Ueda Tomonaga was immediately horrified and could not help but scream:
"What? Going to northwest Shanxi?"

"Not bad!"

Okamura Jining nodded.

Ueda Tomohisa hastily dissuaded him:

"Commander, there are only two battalions of garrison troops in the entire Shimen City right now!

The most we can mobilize to serve as guards is a battalion!
It is too dangerous to escort you to northwest Shanxi with such a small force!

Should we send a message to recall the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, and then consider moving west? They just set out not long ago, if they turn back, it should be very soon! "

Okamura Ji Ning disagreed and said firmly:

“Even if there is only one squadron, I want to go and see for myself what the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi looks like!
It actually made my locust army generals die one after another there!"

"what--

The general died in battle?

Commander, you mean there is a front line——"

Ueda Tomohisa didn't know yet that Nakazawa Saburo was doomed. When he heard him reveal it, he was shocked.

“Yes, Nakazawa-kun died with honor.

The First Division suffered almost complete casualties!
Major General Yoshino Hideki, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, also died in battle."

Okamura Jining explained with a sigh.

The person in front of him was his confidant, so he didn't mind revealing a little bit of information to him.

Upon hearing that the front line had lost two "number one" generals, Ueda Tomohisa almost dropped his eyes to the ground.

He wanted to ask Okamura Ji Ning for specific details, but seeing the other party's unhappy expression, he finally chose to shut up.

He understood that since such a big thing happened at the front line, it was only natural for Okamura Ji Ning to go and take a look.

I could only bow and agree, then go down to work.

……

Beijing.

In the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Chief of Staff Seigo Tanabe was shocked when he received the telegram from Okamura Ji'ning.

He almost spilled the hot tea in his hand on his crotch.

Trembling, he put the teacup on the table and immediately called Kato Kosuke, the captain of the 30th Flying Squadron at the Keiichi Airport, and asked him to prepare a small transport plane.

Then, after packing up briefly and explaining some matters at the headquarters, he hurried to the airport, boarded the transport plane, and rushed to Shimen City.

……

Fortunately, the transport plane that Tanabe Seigo was riding on did not fall from the sky due to a malfunction.

Although there were some setbacks when landing at Shimen Airport, which had not yet been fully renovated, Tanabe Seigo still got off the plane safely.

The Japanese soldiers who were in charge of directing the laborers at Shimen Airport obviously did not expect that a plane would land before the airport was completed.

The squadron leader in charge, Kazuo Noda, came forward and wanted to ask who the visitor was.

But when he saw that the person who got off the plane was a general in a lieutenant general's uniform, he was immediately surprised and quickly stood at attention and saluted respectfully:
"Your Excellency General, I am the squadron leader Kazuo Noda, who is in charge of escorting civilians to rebuild Shimen Airport and guarding it.

Please advise! "

“I’m Tanabe Seigo!
Is the Commander still in town?"

Tanabe Seigo asked anxiously.

When Noda Kazuo heard that the other party was the chief of staff of the front, he was suddenly startled.

He quickly replied:

"I don't know where the commander is. The chief of staff can rest here. I will immediately arrange for someone to go back to the city to inquire."

"Forget it, just arrange a horse for me and I'll go by myself!"

Tanabe Seigo waved his hand.

"Hi!"

……

Less than two hours later, Tanabe Seigo appeared in front of Okamura Jiro, panting and sweating.

Okamura Jining was packing up things in his office. He was very surprised to see him appear.

He asked in surprise:

"Tanabe-kun, why are you here?

Did something unexpected happen at the Front Command?"

"No! Commander, I'm here to advise you.

Even if the First Division suffered heavy losses, you don't have to make this decision!"

Tanabe Seigo shook his head and advised earnestly.

It turned out that the handwritten telegram from Okamura Ji-ning not only informed him of the tragic situation of the 1st Division, but also informed Tanabe Seigo that he had decided to go to the front line in northwestern Shanxi and return with his body wrapped in his horse's hide!

At the same time, he was also asked what he thought about the candidate for the next commander of the Hebei-North Front Army.

That's why he rushed to Shimen City in such a hurry and at such great risk.

You know, airplanes these days are not very safe.

Getting on a transport plane that has not been thoroughly inspected is definitely like dancing on a grave!

……

Okamura Jining was obviously very touched that he could come.

Seeing that his forehead was sweaty, he quickly asked him to sit down and poured him some tea. Then he sighed and said:

"Tanabe-kun, the Tubalu in northwestern Shanxi has grown so powerful that I, Okamura Jining, have no choice but to help.

Now that the First Division has suffered a heavy loss and Nakazawa-kun has died, I must take responsibility!"

"Commander, this is all due to the incompetence of the Special High Police!

It's not your responsibility!

This bunch of rubbish still can't figure out the sources of the heavy artillery and artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi!

They are all good-for-nothings!"

Tanabe Seigo still advised.

To him, Okamura Jining was both his benefactor and an excellent boss.

He still didn't want the other party to die on the battlefield.

After all, even if the opponent is transferred to the reserve force, he still has a lot of energy.

If you need anything in the future, you can go there and get some help.

However, Okamura Ji Ning was obviously determined and waved his hand in the face of his persuasion:

"It has come to this. I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me."

Seeing this, Tanabe Shengwu could only sigh helplessly and said with emotion:

"Commander, you are the most outstanding general in my Locust Army. It is such a pity that you made such a decision!"

When Okamura Ji Ning heard this flattery, he suddenly felt warm in his heart and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

He quickly said:
"Mr. Tanabe, you are overpraising me. There are many talented people among our locust army!

The great cause of the empire can only be accomplished by heroes!"

"Commander, if I have the chance, I will take care of your family."

Tanabe Seigo continued to show his loyalty.

"Tanabe-kun, you don't have to worry about that. I'm sure Tojo-kun will make proper arrangements."

Okamura Jining was confident that with his status and position, all the stains could be washed away as long as he died on the battlefield.

There is even a great possibility that he will be portrayed as a model officer who leads by example and promoted vigorously.

By then, my family will definitely be treated well.

Hearing him say this, Tanabe Shengwu could only say sourly:
"Well, that's a waste of time."

He was thinking to himself: Wow, you’re famous and have a lot of connections, that’s awesome, right?

Well, it's really amazing!

The word "envy" has been worn out for a long time.
