Iwamatsu Yoshio's first reaction when he heard the news was that Kazuki Yamamoto and his special team had collectively committed treason and joined the Eighth Route Army.
Long before he came to take up the post of commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu had heard that senior agents of the Eighth Route Army were lurking within the headquarters of the First Army.
Every battle plan of Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio was leaked.
For example, the secret service team's sneak attack on Daxia Bay, the observation group organized by Major General Naoomi Hattori, and the plan to mop up the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi were all known to the Eighth Route Army in advance.
Yoshio Iwamatsu thought carefully about the time when Kazuki Yamamoto led a special agent team to sneak attack on Daxia Bay, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Obviously, the Eighth Route Army knew in advance that Kazuki Yamamoto would launch a sneak attack.
Why did the Yamamoto special agent team only lose twenty or thirty people?
That was the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army. The Yamamoto special agent team, numbering dozens of people, escaped from the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army so easily.
The more Iwamatsu Yoshio thought about it, the more suspicious Yamamoto Kazuki became.
Even after he took office as the commander of the First Army, the Eighth Route Army was often informed of the combat plans of the First Army Headquarters in advance.
Senior agents of the Eighth Route Army are still hidden in the First Army Headquarters.
There is only one senior officer who has served in the First Army Headquarters for two terms, and that is Kazuki Yamamoto.
In the First Army, there were not many officers who knew the arrival time of the First Flight Regiment at Taiyuan Wusu Airport in advance. Only Iwamatsu Yoshio, Hanatani Masaru, Miyazaki Masao, and Yamamoto Kazuki...
…
Yamamoto Kazuki did not dare to pursue him further. After exploring Wujin Mountain, he returned to Wusu Airport.
Looking at the aircraft parts on the ground in the airport and the pilot's body covered with white cloth on the neatly arranged stretcher, Yamamoto Kazuki looked gloomy.
Then, his subordinates reported that all the soldiers in gun building No. 1 were killed with bare hands.
Yamamoto Kazuki led the special agent team and rushed to the No. 1 turret.
Under the turret, Kazuki Yamamoto inspected every soldier who was killed with his bare hands.
"Everyone was killed with a single blow with his bare hands..."
Even though he is an enemy, Yamamoto Kazuki has to admit that the enemy's methods are very professional:
"The enemy is our old rival, Li Yunlong's sword special forces."
Yamamoto Kazuki's face showed a rare solemn expression.
With his top intelligence analysis capabilities and the information he investigated, he has basically figured out the entire process of this bombardment.
This was a long-planned bombardment.
What Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't figure out was that the hidden cave in Wujin Mountain had been dug out for at least three months. Could it be that Li Yunlong was planning this bombardment three months ago?
"Go back to headquarters."
Yamamoto Kazuki looked gloomy and said to the special agents.
The whole ins and outs have been basically figured out, and Kazuki Yamamoto has to rush back to the Taiyuan headquarters to report to Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu.
"Hi!"
All the special agents bowed their heads, turned around and jumped on the 94 truck.
Four 94 trucks started and sped towards Taiyuan.
Along the way, Yamamoto Kazuki was thinking about how he should report to Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Four modified 94 trucks drove all the way into the outer city of Taiyuan, and then entered the inner city through Gongjimen.
As soon as they entered the inner city and were about to arrive at the headquarters, a barricade made of sandbags suddenly appeared on the street in front of them. Yamamoto Kazuki stepped on the brakes with a look of caution in his eyes.
There was no one on the surrounding streets.
There is a situation!
suddenly…
There was a rush of footsteps and the roar of a car's motor all around.
Yamamoto Kazuki and the special agents looked intently. The Taiyuan military police captain, with several hundred military police officers, surrounded the special agents.
There were also a tank, an armored vehicle, and a Type 92 infantry gun, all of which had their muzzles and machine guns pointed at the special forces.
Kazuki Yamamoto saw in the rearview mirror that on the wall of the inner city behind, there were more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of military police members, all pointing their guns at the special team.
When the special agents saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.
But the next moment, the special agents jumped out of the truck one after another and pointed their submachine guns at the Japanese military police.
As long as Yamamoto Kazuki orders to fire, these team members will not hesitate.
They only took orders from Yamamoto Kazuki, let alone Iwamatsu Yoshio, even if Okamura Neji came, it would not be of any use.
Yamamoto Kazuki took a deep breath, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, veins popping out.
In this formation, Yamamoto Kazuki had no confidence that he would be able to fight his way out.
Even if the special agent team can kill the military police in front of them, there is still a full division in Taiyuan City, and the special agent team is definitely no match for a full division.
Unless we lead a special team to the First Army Headquarters now, capture the First Army Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu alive, and then take Yoshio Iwamatsu hostage and leave Taiyuan.
In just a few seconds, Kazuki Yamamoto thought about the worst-case scenario.
But just thinking about it, the education he received since childhood does not support him to do this. If he really does this, he will be convicted of treason and there will be no turning back.
At this moment, Masao Miyazaki’s voice came from behind the sandbag position on the street ahead:
"Yamamoto-kun, by the order of Commander Iwamatsu, I am surrendering the weapons of your special agent team. Please cooperate with me, Yamamoto-kun."
"Commander Iwamatsu is waiting for you at the headquarters..."
Miyazaki Masao was well aware of the special agent team's marksmanship, and Yamamoto Kazuki himself was a famous fast shooter. Miyazaki Masao hid behind sandbags and did not dare to show his face.
He was afraid that Yamamoto would shoot him in the head.
Yamamoto Kazuki pondered for a moment, then opened the door and jumped out of the truck, and loudly ordered with an expressionless face: "Secret Service, send my order and put down the gun."
"team leader…"
Xiaolu Goro on the side shouted anxiously.
None of the captains of the combat team wanted to put down their guns.
Since when has the secret service been so frustrated?
Yamamoto Kazuki waved his hand and said sternly: "Execute the order."
A military police second lieutenant came over. He took off his pistol and major general's sword and handed it to the military police second lieutenant.
Seeing that Yamamoto Kazuki had been disarmed, the special agents had no choice but to take off the submachine guns from their chests and put them on the ground.
Seeing this, Masao Miyazaki dared to show up from behind the sandbag.
"Please." Miyazaki Masao said expressionlessly, "Yamamoto-kun."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Immediately, Yamamoto Kazuki followed Masao Miyazaki and walked towards the headquarters.
The special forces were disarmed and temporarily taken away by the gendarmerie for investigation.
…
Kazuki Yamamoto was taken to the First Army Headquarters by Masao Miyazaki.
Met Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu and Chief of Staff Masaru Hanatani.
Seeing Yamamoto Kazuki come in, Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanatani quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
With their rational thinking, they felt that Kazuki Yamamoto could not be a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army, but their rational thinking told Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masaru Hanatani that Major General Yamamoto was highly suspicious.
but……
After all, Kazuki Yamamoto was an imperial major general. Although he had no real power in his hands, without substantial evidence, Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't take Yamamoto Kazuki into a cell and torture him.
"Yamamoto-kun."
Iwamatsu Yoshio said nothing, and Hanatani on the side said coldly:
"Soldiers from several military stations and checkpoints all saw a combat team from your special service team taking a car and heading to Wusu Airport."
"Explain it"
Although there are permanent reinforced concrete fortifications only within ten kilometers around Taiyuan and three kilometers around the airport, there are Japanese masonry turrets, checkpoints and military depots on the roads further away.
When the Sword Squadron, wearing the uniforms of the special forces, passed by these checkpoints and military stations in the 94 truck, the Japanese let them go without hesitation.
Ever since Kazuki Yamamoto was promoted to Major General, the special agents in the First Army have become even more intimidating to the Japanese.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff."
Yamamoto Kazuki's expression was calm, but his eyes were cold:
"That's not my special agent team at all, it's Li Yunlong's Sword Squadron pretending to be a special agent team..."
Immediately afterwards, Yamamoto Kazuki investigated the situation. The Eighth Route Army dug holes in Wujin Mountain to hide artillery and artillery shells. The enemy special forces pretended to be special agents and penetrated near the airport. They killed the soldiers in the No. 1 turret with their bare hands, and then reported the situation of guiding the artillery.
.
Just at this time, the communications staff came to report that a bombed 94 truck was found beside the highway, as well as Second Lieutenant Shinichi Yamada and others who were killed with bare hands.
Only then did Iwamatsu Yoshio, Hanatani Masa and others realize that they almost mistakenly blamed Yamamoto Kazuki on this point.
but…
Yamamoto Kazuki is still suspected.
"Kanatani-kun, please immediately draft a telegram and report this situation to the commander of the North China Front, General Okamura Neiji."
Iwamatsu Yoshio turned to look at Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru:
"Admiral Okamura said that we will replenish aircraft and pilots according to the losses."
"Hi!"
Hua Gu was lowering his head suddenly.
Yoshio Iwamatsu, Masa Hanaya and Masao Miyazaki turned around and left, leaving Kazuki Yamamoto alone and sad. Your Excellency, Commander, still doesn't trust me...
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Commander Okamura Neiji, Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe, and Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisu sat around having dinner.
I had Japanese food for dinner, a large table of dishes, which looked a bit rich.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
Moritake Tanabe said:
"I heard that the 2nd Flying Regiment arrived at Wusu Airport this afternoon. Commander Yansong of the First Army will immediately send the 2nd Flying Regiment to bomb Dagu Town."
"If the bombing goes well, there should be a telegram coming by now."
Okamura Neiji smiled slightly when he heard this: "Iwamatsu-kun acted vigorously and resolutely this time."
Youmo Jingsan said: "I don't know if I can kill Li Yunlong this time."
"Even if the explosion cannot kill Li Yunlong." Tanabe Moritake said fiercely, "A Type 97 heavy explosive aircraft and a Nakajima fighter jet can still level Dagu Town to the ground, letting Li Yunlong know that the Japanese Locust Army is not that good.
Provoked!"
Okamura Neji nodded, his expression quite satisfied.
At this moment, the communications staff officer walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand.
Tanabe Moributo: "It should be that the telegram from the First Army Headquarters has arrived."
As expected by Moritake Tanabe and Neji Okamura, the communications staff officer walked up to them, lowered his head and said: "Report, telegram from the First Army Headquarters!"
"Read!" Tanabe Shengwu said.
"Hi!"
The combat staff officer then picked up the telegram and read:
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd Flying Regiment was bombarded by the enemy at Takejuku Airport, losing fighter jets and bomber racks, pilots and crew casualties. Lieutenant General Hosono Mitsutake, Lieutenant General Satama, and Lieutenant General Iwamatsu requested General Okamura to supplement the aircraft and pilots."
"His Majesty the Emperor is on board, and the Japanese Locust Army is on board."
Neji Okamura, Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisu were all stunned after hearing the telegram.
I thought it was the news that the First Army bombed Dagu Town, but I never expected that it was the news that the Second Flying Regiment was almost wiped out.
"Tanabe-kun." Neji Okamura looked at Tanabe Moritake with a gloomy look, "How many fighter jets and bombers are allocated to the First Army this time?"
"Your Excellency, General." Tanabe Shengwu said, "It's just a fight."
"Baga!" Hearing this, Okamura Neji suddenly burst out and overturned the table, and all the sumptuous Japanese food on the table was thrown away.
All the bombers and fighters were destroyed, and the commander of the 1st flight regiment, Yusei, Yoshio Iwamatsu shamelessly asked for more planes and pilots...
Okamura's mentality collapsed again.
