After hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, the officers frowned at first, but then thought about it, this is a good method. Compared with the regiment flag, other things are really nothing.
Major General Naosaburo Okabe, the chief of staff sitting next to Yoshio Shinozuka, also nodded and said: "Your Excellency the commander's suggestion is very reasonable. For us at the moment, as long as we can get the regiment flag back, we can put aside all other matters.
to the side.
Whether Gao Hongming wants money, arms, or beautiful women, we can satisfy him. If he is willing to surrender to the Japanese Empire, we can even forget about it and make him a major general and brigade commander."
"Yoshi...what the Chief of Staff said makes sense."
The military officers also agreed.
But Kazuki Yamamoto smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I am afraid I will disappoint you. If I am not wrong, that Gao Hongming will never surrender to our Empire of Japan."
"Why?"
"The reason why he formed a militia to fight against the Japanese Empire was because just three months ago, when his father was going to the countryside to do business, he encountered an imperial patrol. There was a conflict between the two sides, and his father was arrested by the patrol.
Beaten to death on the spot."
"idiot!"
Everyone cursed in unison.
The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable. This principle is universal all over the world.
Shinozuka Yoshio's face immediately darkened, "Since we can't use him for our own use, we must eliminate him! Gentlemen... do you have any good ideas?"
Kasahara Koizumi couldn't wait to take a step forward, with a fierce look in his small eyes: "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that you immediately dispatch a large army to attack Liantai County and wipe Gao Hongming and Liantai County off the face of the earth!"
"idiot!"
Yoshio Shinozuka gave him an annoyed look.
Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe frowned and said: "Kasahara-kun... you have forgotten that Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater Command of the China Army, is also from Liantai County. For this reason, he deployed nearly half of his troops around Liantai County. If
Our attack on Liantai County will definitely touch his sensitive nerves.
No matter how cowardly he is, he will probably have to mobilize all the troops to fight us, which is contrary to our current strategy."
"Yoshi, your Excellency the Chief of Staff is right."
Kazuki Yamamoto also said: "At present, our most important task is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the ravine. Compared with the Jinsui Army, which is about to collapse at the first touch, the Eighth Route Army is our most serious concern."
"What should we do?"
Kasahara Koizumi became impatient, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Is it possible that Gao Hongming will take away our alliance flag now?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Kazuki Yamamoto showed a proud look, "In my opinion, it is useless to send out large troops for this kind of thing, but if we send out a capable special commando team to lurk in Liantai County, we can cover our ears with lightning speed.
Go to Gao Hongming's house and find the coalition flag, so the price we pay will undoubtedly be much smaller, what do you think?"
The surrounding officers thought for a while and had to admit that Yamamoto Kazuki's idea was indeed very feasible to implement.
But Naosaburo Okabe was worried and said: "How do you know that Gao Hongming put the alliance flag at home? Such a small flag, just find a place to hide it, it is enough for us to dig three feet of ground."
"You don't have to worry, Chief of Staff." Yamamoto Kazuki said with a cold look in his eyes: "It's hard to find the regiment flag, so isn't it easy to catch people? I heard that Gao Hongming's wife and family are all in the Gao family compound.
, as long as we capture his relatives, we are not afraid that he will not submit!"
"Yoshi..."
"Yamamoto-kun is indeed a top student at the Imperial Army University. He is indeed very talented."
The officers were very satisfied with Yamamoto Kazuki's proposal and thought it was the best way at present.
Even Chief of Staff Major General Okabe Naosaburo, who had never been very interested in special forces, felt that this plan was very feasible. He turned to Yoshio Shinozuka and praised him: "Your Excellency, Commander, to be honest, I originally thought so of you.
I still have some opinions on supporting Yamamoto-kun’s special force, but now it seems that I am indeed narrow-minded. Every unit has its use, the key lies in where the commander puts it."
Seeing that the chief of staff who had never been very fond of special forces actually praised his favorite general for the first time, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help feeling a little proud, but he still pretended to be reserved: "Thank you, Okabe-kun, Yamamoto-kun's special forces."
It has just been established and there are still many shortcomings. We still cannot do without your support."
Seeing Yamamoto Kazuki being praised by the commander and chief of staff together, the officers around him had different expressions, some were envious, but most were disdainful.
In the eyes of these officers, Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces team was nothing more than an expensive but impractical toy.
You must know that although Yamamoto Kazuki's special operations team only has more than a hundred people, its monthly expenses are comparable to that of a regiment.
A team of more than a hundred people, so what if everyone can equal one to ten? Can it defeat an infantry regiment?
It's just that Kazuki Yamamoto is Yoshio Shinozuka's confidant, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only complain in their hearts.
Yamamoto Kazuki could see everyone's expressions. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He stepped forward and bowed: "Your Excellency, Commander, I thought that Liantai County was also among the raid targets of our special forces.
But it is still only a secondary goal, and our primary goal is not there."
Hearing this, Naosaburo Okabe became a little unhappy. He asked calmly: "Oh... Then where does Mr. Yamamoto think the special team's primary target should be?"
Yamamoto Kazuki took a step forward and said solemnly: "Of course it should be the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army... Daxia Bay!"
"Daxia Bay?"
"Eighth Route Army Headquarters?"
Yoshio Shinozuka stood up and looked happy, "Yamamoto-kun, have you found the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
Yamamoto Kazuki showed a proud look: "Our spies lurking around Yan Xishan sent information that the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located in Daxia Bay, and there is only one regiment of troops around their headquarters responsible for security tasks, so I think it is special
The team's top priority is to knock out the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
As long as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can be destroyed, the entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will surely fall into chaos. At that time, we can mobilize the army and calmly eliminate this serious problem.
As long as the Eighth Route Army can be destroyed, the situation in Shanxi will suddenly become clearer. By then, Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army will not be in danger, and we can calmly mobilize our forces to eliminate all the Chinese troops entrenched in Shanxi.
!”
"Wow..."
After Yamamoto Kazuki finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from around him...
