The Eighth Route Army arsenal was blown to ashes with my own eyes. The pilots who came back with me can all testify to me. How could it be possible that not a single piece of equipment in the arsenal was blown up?
Then, the whole person seemed to be crazy and shouted loudly.
"I want to see the Commander. I did not lie about my military exploits. All the pilots who performed the mission with me can testify for me. I want to see him and I want to make a complaint!"
"I'm taking you to the headquarters right now. The Commander is waiting for you at the headquarters. If you have any questions, let's talk about it when you get to the headquarters! Take it away!" the Major ordered with a look of disdain, without any change.
In the office of Shouichi Terunai of the North China Front Army Headquarters in Peiping, angry curses kept coming from the room, causing the staff officers who were working outside to stay away when they needed to pass the door, for fear of damaging the fish pond!
As soon as Colonel Ishida entered, he was frightened by the situation in the office.
The five or six officers who were scolded bloody by Juichi Terauchi, who lowered their heads and said nothing, were either lieutenant generals or major generals. Only he was the colonel, the only officer in the office who was not a general.
Because there was no sound in the office except Juichi Terauchi's scolding, the sound of Colonel Ishida coming in immediately alarmed everyone.
As soon as he stood in the corner of the office, all pairs of eyes focused on him.
"Colonel Ishida, you are a stupid pig. You lost so many bombers of the Imperial Army, wasted so much fuel and aerial bombs from the Empire, and yet you didn't even blow up a single piece of equipment in the Eighth Route Army Arsenal! What else do you have to say!" Juichi Terauchi stared at him.
Ishida was very angry and shouted dissatisfied.
The intelligence minister next to him followed up and cursed: "Colonel Ishida, don't you know that the bombing target you selected is several kilometers away from the actual location of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal. Dozens of tons of aerial bombs were all dropped in a deserted forest.
Fortunately, this matter has not spread yet, otherwise our entire North China Front Army would become the laughing stock of the Imperial Army!"
By this time, Colonel Ishida had completely understood.
He did blow up the bombing target into scorched earth, but the target was not the Eighth Route Army arsenal that the front army wanted to bomb.
The military police major who brought him here was right. Even though he didn't mean it, he would definitely not be able to escape the charge of lying about his military exploits.
In addition, the officer standing in front of him is either a major general or a lieutenant general. If one of them is bad, he will take the blame.
Faced with this situation, Ishida calmed down.
In order to reduce his responsibilities and ignore the strict hierarchy of the military, he opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you are unjustly accused of despising your position!"
"Bizhong selected the bombing target based on the signal smoke released by the intelligence department on the ground. He was sure that the bombing point he selected was among several signal smoke. There was absolutely no mistake. It must have been done by ground intelligence personnel.
Wrong~"
"Nani?" Terauchi Juichi immediately turned his attention to the intelligence minister.
It is definitely impossible to hide this kind of thing. As long as Touichi Terauchi wants to investigate, he will definitely find it out.
Although he really didn't want to tell this matter, facing the sharp look from Terauchi Juichi, the intelligence minister could only bite the bullet and reply: "Your Majesty, Commander, the intelligence department does have a responsibility!"
"Before the Air Force bombers arrived on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army found our intelligence personnel hidden around the arsenal. Then they sneak attacked our intelligence personnel and seized the smoke sticks used by the intelligence personnel to send signals!"
"I never expected that the Eighth Route Army would be so cunning as to use smoke sticks to send signals to guide the bombers to the wrong bombing target!"
"Bageya Road, you are all stupid pigs. It's not that the Eighth Route Army is cunning, it's that you are too arrogant and stupid!" Terauchi Shouyi was angry, and regardless of the identity of the other major general, he yelled without mercy.
After cursing for two minutes, Juichi Terauchi calmed down. After glancing at the subordinates in front of him, he asked: "The bombing of the Eighth Route Army arsenal was originally a perfect opportunity to destroy the arsenal, but you ruined it like this!"
"You tell me, what should we do next! No matter what method we use, we must get rid of the arsenal. I will never allow our opponent, the Eighth Route Army, to produce weapons and ammunition on its own. Otherwise, the security of the entire North China will definitely be completely disrupted!"
Colonel Ishida knew that this was an excellent opportunity for him to avoid punishment. If he missed it, even if the intelligence agency shared a lot of responsibility, he would most likely be sent to a military court.
In order to avoid this outcome, he immediately asked Zhan to say: "Commander, please give me another chance. I am willing to lead the bomber group to bomb the Eighth Route Army arsenal a second time!"
"This time, I do not need ground intelligence personnel to guide the target. I will find the bombing target by myself. I will definitely blow up the Eighth Route Army arsenal!"
"If you can't do it, I will apologize directly to His Majesty the Emperor!"
There was no radar in this era, and even though Terauchi was the commander of the Army, he was still aware of the difficulty of identifying bombing targets directly from the air.
However, Colonel Ishida's firm gaze moved him.
After hesitating for almost a minute, he asked: "How do you determine the bombing target?"
"The North China Front Army Army Air Force directly lost a wing of aircraft in the last Taiyuan battle, and it has not been replaced until now. Therefore, every aircraft in our hands is precious and we cannot afford to lose it. If we are not convinced
I will not agree to let the aviation force take risks!"
Colonel Ishida quickly replied: "My humble job requires the intelligence department to determine the distance and specific location of the last bombing point from the real arsenal of the Eighth Route Army!"
"The last bombing point has been reduced to scorched earth by us, and the area is very large, so it is easy to find. As long as the straight-line distance and orientation between it and the arsenal are determined, I can deduce the specific location of the Eighth Route Army arsenal!"
The Air Force Command immediately said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ishida-kun is the Air Force commander with the longest flying time in the Army Air Force of the North China Front. He has rich combat experience and rich command experience. He has carried out a large number of bombing missions in the southern battlefield. He must be sure that
can do it!"
The commander of the Air Force completely dispelled Juichi Terauchi's concerns with one sentence, and decisively ordered: "Yoshi, in that case, I will give you another chance. If you fail to complete the task, there is no need to go to a military court, and you can directly have a disembowelment to express your apology to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hi, thank you, Commander. I humbly promise to complete the bombing mission and destroy the Eighth Route Army arsenal!" Colonel Ishida immediately seized this opportunity and promised.
