Iwamatsu Yoshio's words solidified the atmosphere in the office.
Although what Yoshio Iwamatsu said was unpleasant, it was true.
Faced with the desperate Yoshiooka Iwamatsu, Neji Murura had nothing to do. After all, he had been driven back to his homeland. Did he not let anyone speak before leaving?
When Yoshimoto Teiichi looked at his predecessor, he was filled with emotion and at the same time felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart. This Gao Hongming was really the nemesis of the empire's senior generals. Since his debut, the empire's generals have been dismissed and captured because of him.
The total number of fatalities is almost double digits.
My first two predecessors all returned to their homeland in despair because of him. If I don't keep vigilant, I might be the next one to return to my homeland.
After Yoshio Iwamatsu vented his anger on the phone for a while, he felt that the anger in his heart had almost been vented. For a moment, he felt a little uninterested and at the same time felt an indescribable sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body.
"Commander Okamura, Yoshimoto-kun, I'm really sorry. I lost my temper just now. Please forgive me. By the way, Yoshimoto-kun, now I officially hand over the First Army to you.
As for specific questions and matters, you can ask Mr. Kojima, he is a very good chief of staff and I believe he will take a lot of the pressure off of you. Now I have to go back and pack my luggage."
After saying that, Yoshio Iwamatsu bowed to Okamura Neji and Yoshimoto Sadashi, turned around and walked out of the office.
Looking at Yoshio Iwamatsu who didn't look back, everyone was a little embarrassed, but they all understood it. After all, they were dismissed, so weren't they allowed to vent?
Okamura Neji cheered up and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Now that the handover has been completed, you will be the new commander of the First Army from today on. I hope you can lead the First Army to regain its glory.
"
"Hi... please take care of me, Commander!"
Yoshimoto Teiichi bowed solemnly to Okamura Neiji. In any case, it was Okamura Neiji who personally applied to the base camp to be transferred to Shanxi. He wanted this favor due to circumstances and reasons.
"Yo Xi!" Okamura Neji nodded: "Yoshimoto-kun, let's study the current situation in Shanxi together to see if there is any possibility of a comeback."
Hearing the word "turnaround," Yoshimoto Sadashi's heart tightened.
Being able to force the dignified commander of the North China Front to say these two words shows that the current situation in Shanxi has reached a very dangerous situation.
It was Okamura Neiji who personally presided over the stoppage of the large-scale mopping up plan and the transfer of the main mopping up troops to Shanxi to launch an attack on Ping'an County.
If this attack does not go smoothly or even changes occur in Shanxi, Okamura Neji and his transformation as the commander of the North China Front cannot bear this responsibility.
If we really get to that point, I'm afraid he will be the one to return to his homeland next.
Just when Okamura Neiji was racking his brains and even changing generals on the spot in order to win this battle, Commander Lin and a group of commanders and fighters of the 115th Division finally waited for the long-awaited aircraft.
Accompanied by a dull buzzing sound, a group of aircraft escorted by twenty-four C-47 transport aircraft and twelve P47 fighter jets flew over the 115th Division.
The fleet of aircraft arrived at a low altitude of 500 meters, so many sharp-eyed soldiers on the ground could clearly see the appearance of the aircraft.
Since it was the first time for most of the soldiers to see an airdrop from an aircraft, when they saw the white parachutes blooming above their heads as the fleet of aircraft flew by, waves of deafening cheers rang out from the ground.
As for commanders at all levels, they had to step in to stop them and strictly ordered not to make any noise.
A staff officer jumped up and down and ran towards Commander Lin, Political Commissar Luo and others who were standing on the hillside. While running, he shouted loudly: "Division Commander... Division Commander... they really airdropped supplies to us!"
"I saw!"
Commander Lin glanced at him and snorted, "I'm not blind yet. I can still see such a big plane and the parachutes in the sky!"
The staff officer who had been scolded scratched his head in embarrassment. The staff officers around him all laughed when they saw this. Political Commissar Luo, who has always been known for being friendly and kind, said with a smile: "Actually, let alone Xiao Xiao.
Damn it, this is the first time I have seen such a large-scale airdrop. To be honest, I am also very curious about what is in those airdrop boxes."
Mr. Lin smiled brightly: "It's not easy to know. Wouldn't it be easy for someone to open a box and take a look?"
Coincidentally, as soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, several parachutes floated slowly towards their direction in the strong wind, and landed on the ground with a dull crashing sound.
"Comrades... hurry up!"
The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time swarmed forward. Almost dozens of them surrounded a parachute, and a group of people scrambled to untie the parachute.
When Commander Lin and others walked to a big box, they happened to see several soldiers working together to open the box.
"Crash!"
An impatient soldier used too much force and broke the handle of the wooden box, causing all the contents in the box to roll out and scatter on the floor.
The squad leader on the side was about to get angry and curse, but he was shocked when he saw the things thrown out. It turned out that the box was full of round iron lumps.
A soldier was about to bend down to pick it up when he heard the squad leader shout, "Don't move, be careful of bombs!"
The squad leader's words shocked everyone, and several soldiers who originally wanted to bend down to pick up things quickly stood up.
We are all veterans, and everyone knows the dangers of bombs.
Such a box of bombs weighs at least hundreds of kilograms. If it explodes, no one in a radius of half a mile will survive.
The most important thing is that it's okay if they die, but the division commander, political commissar and the others are all here. If they have any good intentions, the entire command level of the 115th Division will be paralyzed. If this is the case, it will be useless to shoot him ten times.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the squad leader carefully picked up a "bomb" from the ground. Just as he was about to check it carefully, a voice came from behind.
"Kid, show me what you have in your hand."
When the squad leader turned around, he saw Political Commissar Luo standing behind him and looking at him with a smile.
In desperation, he blurted out: "Commander, be careful, these are bombs. Please tell the commander to get out of here. There are foreign writings on these bombs."
"What kind of bomb? Bring it to me and see. This is an order!"
"yes!"
The squad leader could only reluctantly hand the iron lump in his hand to Political Commissar Luo.
Political Commissar Luo took the thing and took a look at it. He was angry and funny at the same time and scolded: "Playing the piano randomly, what kind of bomb is this? This is an American canned meat."
