Age of Rebirth

The words are astonishing. Major General Yamaguchi, the head of the Kwantung Army's secret service agency, is neither a leading general nor a front-line commander. In addition, the headquarters of the secret service agency is in Harbin. How does he know the current situation in the Liaodong Peninsula?Do you know the dilemma you are facing and the problem that needs to be solved urgently?

A series of question marks formed in the mind of General Umezu Yoshijiro, "Could it be that this guy, Yamaguchi, planted someone beside him? Someone from the secret service is watching him!" He didn't know the situation of the battle in the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Kwantung Army headquarters did not report the situation on the battlefield to the secret service. An uncontrollable anger suddenly rose in his heart.

General Umezu Yoshijiro leaned forward suddenly, like a falcon catching prey, staring at the past with gloomy eyes, and said in a stern tone, "Chief Yamaguchi, I am very surprised that your secret service , How did you know about the situation in the Liaodong Peninsula? I need a reasonable explanation!"

Major General Yamaguchi was really taken aback by General Meijin's tone and expression, "Didn't I just tell you about the situation that the imperial army is facing on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield? Why did General Meijin react so violently? Just like someone who wants to eat people." Like a hungry wolf?"

Immediately, the treacherous and cunning Major General Yamaguchi realized at once that your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, was suspicious of what he said just now, and suspected that he had planted eyes and ears by his side. This is not a good thing. He hurriedly explained: "General Commander, it was only after we arrived in Liaoyang that we realized the situation the imperial army was facing. This time, the Ministry came to Liaoyang to solve this problem for the commander-in-chief!"

After listening to Major General Yamaguchi's explanation, General Umezu Yoshijiro was angry.He had dispersed quite a lot, and he also knew that this guy from Yamaguchi was not so courageous enough to put his eyes and ears on his side. If such a thing really happened, once it was found out, no one would be able to protect him.But General Meijin didn't believe that a guy engaged in espionage was in the military.He became more and more impatient if he had any unique insights, and said, "I really hate my subordinates wasting my precious time. Say it! Keep it simple!"

Originally Major General Yamaguchi.Still need to be careful.Show off to improve the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief who doesn't have a good impression of the secret service, but now is not the time to show off. Judging by General Meijin's posture, he has the intention of driving himself out soon!

Major General Yamaguchi hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the secret research institute of our secret service in Harbin successfully developed a new type of gas bomb a few days ago. People who smell it will immediately lose consciousness for more than eight hours, and after waking up, there will be no obvious sequelae. After many experiments by imperial scientific research personnel on Manchurian civilians, the stability of its effect has been officially confirmed!"

"This new type of gas bomb is now named the No. [-] Special Operations Bomb. It can be dropped by aircraft or fired from artillery. The effect of the gas bomb is stable and long-lasting. Given that the Imperial Army is currently in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the independent division troops In a stalemate, you, Commander-in-Chief, have been worrying about this matter day and night, so the Ministry recommends that you, Commander-in-Chief, use the No. [-] special operations bomb to launch a surprise attack on the Chinese army, and it will be effective in one fell swoop!"

General Umezu Yoshijiro's eyes were burning with flickering flames, his eyes stared at Major General Yamaguchi like a falcon, and he asked word by word: "Officer Yamaguchi, how dare you pledge your honor and your own life to the Imperial Army? Is the use of this gas bomb effective?"

Major General Yamaguchi stood at attention with a "snap", and said passionately: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Yamaguchi is willing to guarantee the effect of the No. [-] special operations bomb with the honor of the Imperial Army and his own life, otherwise, he will cut himself open to apologize! "

After finishing speaking, Major General Yamaguchi looked at General Meizu expectantly, and he had prepared a lot of reasons in his heart to persuade the commander-in-chief to use this kind of gas bomb. He was worried that General Meizu would reject his suggestion. It would not be easy to convince such a stubborn boss who would not change his ways easily!

General Umezu Yoshijiro only thought for a dozen seconds, and suddenly asked: "Director Yamaguchi, where are these gas bombs now? How many are there?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, before coming to Liaoyang, the staff department has secretly transported the poison gas bombs to the Harbin military airport, loaded them on eight transport planes, and adopted the strictest secrecy measures. Even the commander of the airport did not know that the What kind of materials are transported? As long as the staff sends a telegram, the transport plane can take off immediately. After three hours, it will arrive at Liaoyang Field Airport. Is the quantity enough to cover all the positions of the independent division of China in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula on the blocking line twice? above!"

"Yoshi!" General Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Director Yamaguchi, immediately order the transport plane loaded with gas bombs to take off. Before nine o'clock tonight, it must arrive at Fengtian Field Field Airport, not Liaoyang. In addition, this matter does not need you or me." A third person besides you knows, do you understand?"

Major General Yamaguchi was a little surprised. He did not expect that General Umezu Yoshijiro, who always claimed to be an orthodox soldier of the empire, would suggest the use of gas bombs to himself. The staff department will follow the commander-in-chief's order and immediately order the transport plane to take off! And keep the strictest secrecy!" He replied energetically.

But what General Meijin said next made him nervous again, "Director Yamaguchi, does your secret service have branches and intelligence networks in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula?"

Major General Yamaguchi smiled helplessly, and replied truthfully: "Commander-in-Chief, no, according to the regulations of the headquarters, the Korean Peninsula is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Korean Garrison, and the Kwantung Army Secret Service has no right to set up any branches there. It can only be coordinated through the relevant departments of the base camp!"

"Oh, that's right!" General Umezu Yoshijiro was very disappointed in his heart. He originally thought that he could learn about the situation in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula through the channel of the secret service, but now it seems that he is still disappointed, and it is the sphere of influence of the damned faction. However, he concealed it very well, "Officer Yamaguchi, I am very happy that your secret service can develop such a special bomb and play a role in the interests of the empire at a critical time. Go, do your own thing well." !"

Major General Yamaguchi left contentedly, in a very happy mood when he left. Although Commander-in-Chief Umezu did not appreciate his move that could turn the tide of the war, from now on, the Kwantung Army's secret service agencies will inevitably enter the Commander-in-Chief In my mind, I want to restore the power and glory of Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro. At that time, the head of the Yamaguchi organization was in Manchuria, and he could be described as a person who stamped his feet and the ground trembled.

Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro’s strategy of putting down the Manchuria’s anti-Japanese armed forces was “[-]% military and [-]% political!” The Kwantung Army’s secret service was the direct executor. After becoming an official, I knew that this boss, who was beyond factional struggles, was not very interested in the secret service, so I tried my best to submit a nomination certificate. Now it seems that the effect is very good!

General Umezu Yoshijiro stood alone for a while. For Yamaguchi's big gift, he was unexpected from the heart. This big gift will play an irreplaceable role in breaking the current blocking line of the independent division. , Shinyuemon was on the Ando front line, using a special mortar brigade to defeat the strength of the three brigades of the Independent Division in one fell swoop, which is a successful example.

Well, the effect of the No. [-] special gas bomb, which is more powerful this time, will be even more amazing. As for things such as morality and international conventions, in the eyes of General Meizu, they are not bullshit, and there is no psychological burden. All he needs to do is to be an imperial general who recovers the Liaodong Peninsula. As for the means, he can use any method. A cruel sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the phone on the table, "Call me the commander of the First Air Force Squadron." Lieutenant General Ma Tian has important military secrets, use the confidential line!"

At night, eight large Japanese transport planes flew in from the direction of Harbin and landed at Fengtian Field Field Airport. The Japanese ground staff at the airport discovered that the guards at the airport were not ordinary soldiers from the airport garrison, not even high-ranking military police, but It was those fearsome guys from the secret service, who surrounded the eight transport planes with live ammunition, and no one was allowed to approach them.

After a while, dozens of trucks with civilian license plates unloaded many wooden boxes from the transport plane, loaded them onto the trucks, and under the protection of secret service agents, drove away from the airport and disappeared mysteriously in the streets of Fengtian.

Afterwards, several senior officials of the secret service called together the officers and soldiers of the ground staff and the airport garrison, and warned with murderous intent: "No one is allowed to reveal a word about what happened tonight. This is the Kwantung Army Order from the General Headquarters, otherwise, the secret service will invite you to eat authentic Japanese food!"

After hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese airport garrison, as well as the ground crew, fell silent. They knew what the secret service was for. These guys were cruel to the Manchurians, and they would never be merciful to their compatriots. The so-called authentic Japanese cuisine, people who have eaten it, without exception, have evaporated.

These eight Japanese army transport planes took off from the Japanese field airport in Harbin, and naturally they could not escape the eyes of the ground radar station of the Air Force of the Independent Division. Compared with the past few days, the Japanese army's various combat aircraft, large fleets, and large formations frequently moved over the northeast. The transport plane still doesn't attract attention. The ground radar station regards it as an ordinary air situation and mixes it with a bunch of air situation information. According to the usual practice, it is reported to the Air Force Incheon Joint Air Directorate!
