"Nani?" Tanaka Takaki's face collapsed.

But Takaichi Sakamoto was overjoyed and paused, saying, "Hayi!"

"Sakamoto, don't be too happy too early." Shinozuka Yoshio said with a dark face, "The group of militants who attacked Shinzo War Station and Shinzo Airport will find and eliminate them at all costs!"

He paused, and then emphasized, "Listen, it's all costs."

"Hai." Takaichi Sakamoto paused and repeated, "At any cost, we must find and eliminate the Eighth Route Army armed forces that attacked Xincheng Military Station and Xincheng Airport!"

At this time, the phone in the war room suddenly rang.

Immediately a communications officer came in and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, General General, requested to speak with you, and the phone number has been answered to Line 1 of the War Room."

"knew."

Yoshio Shinozuka's facial muscles twitched twice and grabbed the phone.

He paused his head slightly and said, "Masashi, this is the 1st Army Headquarters, I am Yoshio Shinozuka."

"Shinozuka, I am Okamura Nishiji." Okamura Nishiji's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard that Shinze River Airport and Shinze River Station had just been attacked? Is there anything wrong?"

"Hayi." Shinozuka Yoshio paused his head, "It's true."

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said, "Is the loss big?"

"The losses are still heavy." When things got to this point, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that they could not hide it. He gritted his teeth and replied, "The casualties alone may exceed 500."

"This includes more than a hundred translators prepared for the No. A combat plan."

"In addition, the first batch of combat supplies seconded from the Kwantung Army, including 500 mustard-seed gas bombs, were also destroyed during this attack."

"Also, New Town Airport has also suffered devastating damage."

"More than 100 tons of aviation kerosene stored in Xincheng Airport, as well as two flight squadrons, 15 Type 96 land attack aircraft and 17 Nakajima Type 97 fighters were also destroyed during the attack."

"There are more than a hundred pilots from two squadrons, most of whom have sacrificed their lives for the empire."

"Conservatively estimated that the loss this time is as high as more than 5 million yen, and it may even exceed 10 million."

The breathing sound across the phone became significantly heavier, and it was obvious that Okamura Yanji was also very concerned about this number.

Ten million yen is definitely a huge sum of money, enough to support more than a dozen divisions of the North China Front Army to fight a medium-sized battle!

It is necessary to know that the Navy only builds an aircraft carrier of 30 million!

After pausing for a moment, Yoshio Shinozuka paused again and said, "Great General, such a tragedy occurred in Taiyuan, where the 1st Army Command is located. As the commander of the 1st Army, I personally take the main responsibility."

"So I ask the base camp to remove my 1st Army commander."

"A capable general will be appointed to replace the position of commander of the 1st Army."

After saying this, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly felt lighter and relieved.

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then Okamura Yanji's voice sounded again: "Shinozuka, do you want to be a deserter?"

"Desergeant?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Your Excellency, I don't want to be a deserter. It's because of my negligence and carelessness that I have caused irreparable huge losses to the 1st Army and even the entire North China Front..."

Before Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, Okamura Yiji interrupted: "Shinozuka, I believe this tragedy was just an accident, at least it has nothing to do with you, the commander."

"The one who should really be responsible for this should be Shimizu Ichiro!"

"And what you have to do now is to eliminate all interference and do your best to advance the A combat plan."

"I have found a way to make up for the loss of how much combat materials I have lost. After losing the Type 96 land attack aircraft, I will explain to the base camp and the army headquarters."

"Anyway, the most important thing now is the combat plan of the A."

"So, Shinozuka, please be sure to eliminate all interference and make every effort to advance the A combat plan, please!"

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka seemed to have seen that Okamura Nishiki Okamura on the other end of the phone was silenced at him, with a look of pleading on his face. Okamura Nishiki said this, Yoshio Shinozuka had nothing to say.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka bowed his head heavily and said solemnly: "Hayi!"

"Yoxi!" Okamura Yasuji finally hung up the phone.

At this time, Takaichi Sakamoto walked in excitedly.

"Your Excellency Commander!" Sakamoto said with a pause, "The whereabouts of that group of militants have been discovered!"

"Is that true?" Shinozuka Yoshio glanced at Takaki Tanaka who was still standing next to him. He said, "Sakamoto, tell me, how did you discover the whereabouts of this group of militants?"

"Hai." said Sakamoto Takaichi, "The reason why the 20-liter stronghold lost contact for more than two hours was that the telephone line was cut, but that group of militants could not cut off the telephone line of all villages and towns around Taiyuan in a short time, so I called dozens of villages and towns around that had phones installed."

"Sure enough, there are many villages and towns who maintain the feedback,"

"About two hours ago, I heard the roar of the car engine."

"And, the roar of the car engine went east, which is the direction of Shouyang County."

"Shouyang?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka, "Which unit of the Imperial Army is stationed in Shouyang County?"

"There is only one dissatisfied brigade of the 4th Brigade." Takaichi Sakamoto, "and there are no artillery."

Yoshio Shinozuka sighed when she heard this. There was only one dissatisfied brigade and there were no artillery soldiers. It was simply a delusion to stop the group of militants from the Eighth Route Army.

Takaichi Sakamoto said: "Your Excellency Commander, you can intercept the 4th Brigade stationed in Yangquan County."

"Forget it." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and sighed, "The combat effectiveness of the 4th Brigade has not been restored, and the situation in Yangquan County is extremely serious. Rarely sending troops to ambush the Eighth Route Army."

Takaichi Sakamoto asked, "Can you just let them go like that?"

"Let's just let the Eighth Route Army be proud for a few days first." Yoshio Shinozuka said.
