Chapter 188: Heavy Losses(1/2)
Taiyuan inner city, headquarters.
Communications Section Chief Takuya Mizuhara walked into the war room with a dark face.
"Mr. Commander!" Takuya Suwahara reported, "General Maori just called from the Shincheon Arsenal."
When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, his eyebrows jumped down suddenly and shouted: "Hsingheung City Arsenal was also attacked?"
"Nothing this." Takuya Mizuhara shook his head and said, "The Shinze Arsenal has not been attacked, but General Maori reported that Shinze Arsenal and Shinze Airport have been completely destroyed."
"Total destruction?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face instantly became very embarrassed.
Totally destroy means that nothing is left for them!
"Yes." Takuya Mizuhara paused again and said in a difficult tone. "General Maori said on the phone that Shincheon Soldier Station was not only suffering from ammunition, but also under the spread attack of mustard poisonous gas bombs. Therefore, not only the various materials stored in the station, but even none of the personnel survived. Even the 1st infantry battalion of the 3rd Brigade who rushed to reinforce the country was poisoned and died."
An inhalation sound immediately sounded in the war room.
Because the number of personnel at Xincheng Military Station is really not young.
In addition to a guard squadron, there are dozens of comfort women in the comfort center.
There were also the wounded people who were recuperating at the military station, the officers who were declining in the comfort station, and the Japanese and Chinese translators who were used to form the advance team. All of them had to go up to 500 people.
If only attacks by unknown armed forces are encountered, many will definitely survive.
But now that he has been attacked by mustard seed gas bombs, there is no living thing left.
The loss this time was a big one, but it was nothing compared to the losses of Xincheng Airport.
Yoshio Shinozuka thought so in his heart. No matter how much the loss of Xincheng Military Station is, it is impossible to compare with Xincheng Airport. He still hopes that Xincheng Airport will have good news and at least fifteen attack aircraft will not be affected.
At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio asked again: "Muwahara, are the 15 attack aircraft at Xincheng Airport sure that they have been destroyed?"
"Xincheng Airport..." Takuya Suddenly sighed and said, "General Maori said that the fire at Xincheng Airport is still burning, so it is impossible to tell how much the specific loss will be."
"Bagayaru." Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned black in an instant.
The fire is still burning, and the entire airport is engulfed by the fire. How can it be better?
Thinking that hundreds of tons of aviation kerosene were burned out, a squadron stationed at Xincheng Airport, and a 15 Type 96 land attack aircraft of a squadron stationed at Xincheng Airport and a 17 Nakajima Type 97 fighter aircraft of another squadron were all blown out, Yoshio Shinozuka felt his throat suddenly sweet, and a mouthful of blood suddenly surged up.
However, the old Japanese went back to his mouth again.
But his face had turned pale.
The originally tall body shook twice.
"Your Excellency Commander!" Tanaka Takaki said with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Tanaka, immediately find out which armed forces were attacking Xincheng Military Station and Xincheng Airport? The Shanxi Sui Army or the Eighth Route Army?"
Tanaka Takayoshi said in a deep voice: "Commander, based on my intuition, it should be..."
"Haga!" Shinozuka Yoshio finally couldn't help but cursed, "Don't tell me any intuition anymore, and I don't want to hear such words again. As the chief of staff of the 1st Army, I hope you can present the detailed information of this group of militants to my desk before dawn."
"Hayi!" Tanaka Takagi paused his head.
Yoshio Shinozuka left in anger.
Tanaka Takaki glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Order!"
All the staff in the war room stood at attention together.
"Call the checkpoints and strongholds along Tongpu Road and Zhengtai Road to intercept this group of unknown armed personnel."
Speaking of this, Tanaka Takaki's eyes fell on Takuya Suwara again and said in a deep voice: "Muwara, you will take charge of the gendarmerie captain from now on, and you will temporarily serve as the Special High School. Immediately launch a large-scale screening of all suspicious people who have entered Taiyuan in the past three days to find out the origin of this group of militants as soon as possible!"
"Hayi!" Takuya Suwabata was overjoyed when he heard this.
The commander of the military police and the commander of the special high school department is a fat man.
His ex-boy, Ichiro Shimizu, only stayed in office for less than half a year and saved tens of thousands of yen.
As the saying goes, as the Japanese army moved from frontal combat to local security warfare, both officers and soldiers were corrupting at an astonishing speed. Yoshio Oshima and Ichiro Shimizu were not alone.
Takumi Suwon will soon follow their footsteps.
...
At this time, on Tongpu Road.
After walking about twenty kilometers along Tongpu Road, Wang Ye signaled Wei Dayong to stop.
When I saw the leading Type 97 medium tank stop, the three Type 95 light tanks and 15 trucks followed.
In the light, Wang Ye opened the top cover of the turret.
"Turn off the lights!" Wang Ye said in sign language, "Change and go to Yangquan!"
Going north along the same dandelion road is just a trick to deceive the enemy, and it is intended to confuse the Japanese's eyeliner.
Now I have walked three or four kilometers north, and I dare not ask for the Japanese to deceive them all the time, but at least there should be no problem if I deceive the Japanese for a few hours.
Taking advantage of this period, they had already passed Shouyang and entered the territory of Yangquan County.
As long as you enter the Yangquan territory, you will not be afraid of the Japanese. After the 9th Brigade was completely wiped out by the teapot, the 4th Brigade was so scared that he shrank into Yangquan County and shivered and did not dare to come out at all.
Therefore, it is impossible to count on the 4th Brigade to intercept them.
If the 4th Brigade really takes the risk to intercept, it will probably be back and forth.
...
Takuya Mizuhara, the Japanese devil, is still very capable, and this is the time when the new official takes office and urgently needs to show his ability, so he works very hard and soon finds out the clues.
"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!" Takuya Suwara paused.
"I have reviewed all the recent files of the Special High School Division and verified all the whereabouts of the former chief of the rank and military police captain Ichiro Kiyomizu. Now we can basically conclude that the cause of the incident was the intelligence officer of the Eighth Route Army who was identified by us before. "
Tanaka Takaki asked, "Are you talking about the guy who bought information from Oshima-kun?"
"Yes." Takuya Suwahara said in a deep voice, "After this guy was arrested, militants from the Taiyuan underground party of the Eighth Route Army organized two rescue operations, but they were both defeated by the military police."
"After that, Kiyomizu-kun moved this guy to Xincheng Military Station."
"There were also secretly transferred hundreds of military police from Ping'an County and Yuci County to ambush the military police dungeon, ready to wait for the rabbit to ambush the Eighth Route Army militants."
"But now it seems that Kiyomizu's plan has obviously failed completely."
"Baga!" Tanaka Takaki gritted his teeth, "Then the Eighth Route Army's intelligence personnel found the Xincheng Army Station and launched an attack on the Xincheng Army Station? After saving people, they attacked Xincheng Airport?"
"Yes." Takuya Suwahara said in a deep voice, "This is basically the process."
"Is that true?" Shinozuka Yoshio said with some doubts, "The underground party of the CCP in Taiyuan has this ability?"
"Yes, Taiyuan underground party has such power to act?" Tanaka Takaki reacted instantly and frowned and said, "Can they have such powerful automatic firepower?"
“So many people can drive trucks and tanks?”
"As far as I know, even the Central Army of China cannot do this."
At this time, the remaining soldiers of the infantry squadron who rushed to reinforce had already reported the battle situation back to the headquarters.
So Shinozuka Yoshio and Tanaka Takayoshi already knew that the group of militants attacking Shinze War Station were not only equipped with a large amount of automatic firepower, but also snatched more than a dozen trucks and four tanks from the Shinze War Station Repair Factory, and then launched a strong attack on Shinze War Station Airport with these four tanks and successfully launched a fight.
Takuya Suwon had obviously thought about this issue and said now: "In addition to the militants of the Taiyuan underground party, there must be other foreign Eighth Route Army participating in this rescue operation."
"The Eighth Route Army from the Outside?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka, "Where did it come from?"
"It's unknown at the moment." Takuya Suwabata shook his head, "and it needs to continue to investigate."
Yoshio Shinozuka asked Tanaka Takayoshi again, "Tanaka, where did that group of militants arrive?"
Tanaka Takaki paused and said, "More than two hours ago, the Ershilipu stronghold called and said that a convoy once forced a pass from them, but then lost the news."
"Lost news?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked with a frown, "What does it mean to lose news?"
Tachiko Tanaka said: "It was the strongholds and checkpoints that were further north and were not found again."
"Have you not found the strongholds and checkpoints further north?" Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and said, "So, has this convoy passed through the 24-liter stronghold again and turned south?"
"This...is not very clear," said Takayoshi Tanaka.
"Don't know?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "It's true that there is, there is nothing, it's true that there is nothing, it's not clear what it means?"
Tanaka Takaki sweated out of his forehead and whispered: "Because not long after the call was made, the phone number at the Ershilipu base could not be reached. It was probably..."
"Haga, I guess again!" Shinozuka Yoshio said furiously, "Tanaka, is that what you are the chief of staff?"
At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka was really angry. He was so unbearable to the chief of staff, Takaki Tanaka.
It’s okay to have a corpse and eat a meal in a simple way, but it’s still like this at such a critical moment. Is it worthy of being the Chief of Staff?
I really don’t know what his ex-girlfriend, the current commander of the Kwantung Army, Mijiro Umezu, is interested in this guy? He is transferred to be the chief of staff?
"Hayi!" Tanaka Takaki wiped the sweat from his forehead and said violently, "What the commander has taught is that Hu Shi must learn from his lessons and improve his work style steadily."
"No need." Yoshio Shinozuka said with a dark face.
"I will immediately make suggestions to the Front Command to transfer you back to the mainland."
At this point, Yoshio Shinozuka broke up and didn't want to give Tanaka Takayoshi at least respect.
After saying this, Yoshio Shinozuka turned his head and said to the combat division chief Takaichi Sakamoto: "Sakamoto, from now on, you will be responsible for the work of the General Staff."
To be continued...
