Chapter 231, failure makes people crazy

When they returned to the house and sat down again, the mood of the two of them was very different from before.

A moment ago, he was thinking of reporting, and the victory that could shock the base camp showed his face.In the next moment, all hopes were shattered.

If you want to persuade the minister not to be disappointed, it is absolutely false.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. As soon as the front gave hope, the back kicked him awake.

It would be better not to give hope!

Looking at the person next to him, Naotomi Hattori is in a slightly better mood.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. If I am unlucky, if I can see that others are more unlucky than myself, it seems that it will not be so painful.

At most, he would lose an opportunity, but Matsuda Jujiro was in a bad situation.

Typical without showing his face, showing his butt.

That guy Yamamoto will die, he has to leave such a sentence.

Information leaked!

Who leaked it?

There are not many people in the know, and everyone is suspicious.

Even if it gets a little bit, it's easy to take the blame for the whole battle.

Looking at Matsuda Shigejiro's dignified face, he didn't know whether to think about Yamamoto or hate him.

Let Hattori Naotomi say that it is better for that guy Yamamoto to be alive, and he will naturally be responsible for the defeat of the battle.

If there is no rescue, no one can get rid of the responsibility for an information leak, and someone will always be forced to take the blame.

Of course, as the leader of the observation team, representing the North China Command, Hattori Naomi was naturally out of the matter.No matter what happens, it doesn't involve him.

He was also holding a teacup, sipping the famous Chinese tea Tieguanyin leisurely.

Hmm, slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste.

It is good tea.

Matsuda Shigejiro pondered for a moment, sorting out the whole story in his mind.

According to Kazuki Yamamoto.

The special forces were ambushed, and the defeat of the battle can only be attributed to the leak of intelligence.

When Yamamoto proposed this plan, only the three of them were fully aware of it.

Two major generals of the empire, and a plan proposer, who would foolishly leak information to the enemy?

Totally impossible.

That is to say, there are still people who have access to intelligence.Who will have that chance?

No, I'm confused.

The intelligence personnel who were the first to analyze the location of the Eighth Route headquarters may also leak information there.

Eighth Road only needs to know the information of its own headquarters, and if the imperial army knows it, it can make such an arrangement.

Matsuda Shigejiro breathed a sigh of relief. According to this line of thinking, his suspicion can basically be cleared.

For the intelligence system, personnel who have access to intelligence, a review and purge cannot be avoided.

In the next few months, intelligence work may lag behind.

"report!"

A clerk stepped in.

"General, the casualties of the Special Forces have been counted."

"Read!"

Matsuda Jujiro spit out a word coldly.

Kazuki Yamamoto's special team was selected from the best of the entire First Army.Cultivating such a team consumes enough resources to build an alliance.

If you are victorious, you will naturally be rewarded.

However, the defeat was a complete mess, and it also brought big troubles, so Matsuda Shigejiro naturally had a hard time liking him.

"The special operations team killed 37 people, 18 people were missing, four people were seriously injured, and 11 people were slightly injured. Two radio stations were lost, five grenadiers were lost, and 31 submachine guns were lost."

The cold numbers seem unremarkable, but it just shows that the special forces suffered heavy losses.

Only those in the know can hear the mysteries in the report.

18 people are missing, how could they be missing?

That is to say, when the large group left, these people did not keep up, and their deaths were not confirmed, so they were judged as missing.

In fact, the chance of the missing soldiers surviving is very small, and there is a high probability that they will not come back.

If the word missing is written in the report, it cannot be judged as a death in action.

The Japanese army exaggerated the number of enemy kills and concealed and reduced the number of its own casualties, all of which were unspoken rules of the military center.

At least it can fool outsiders, and the faces of the people above are also good-looking.

Can Matsuda Shigejiro arrive: "That is to say, the casualties of the Special Forces have exceeded half, and they have basically been defeated."

The document replied: "Yes, the special forces have been unable to fight in a short period of time, and it will take a relatively long process to restore their combat effectiveness."

Of course, there is another premise.

That is, the special operations team must have a qualified captain.

Kazuki Yamamoto's legs were blown off, and even if he woke up, he couldn't lead the special forces to fight with one leg.

Matsuda Shigejiro sighed, "Send a report to Taiyuan and tell the commander truthfully about the situation. Ask me what the commander thinks."

As the person appointed by the commander to preside over the overall situation, Kazuki Yamamoto is still in a coma.

He doesn't know what to do now, should he send troops to mop up and retaliate?
The Eight Route Army actually laid an ambush there, and the headquarters should have been transferred.Sending people there now would most likely be futile.

What's more, he couldn't command the Fourth Brigade either.

Trouble, let General Shinozuka Yoshio deal with it!

Taiyuan.

The gate tower is the tallest building. Standing here, you can see the whole city of Taiyuan into your eyes.

Since the observation group came, Yoshio Shinozuka would stand here for a long time every day, looking at the majestic Taiyuan City.

There is not much time left for him, and he has to cherish every day in Taiyuan.

"Yamamoto's plan should start!"

If, Kazuki Yamamoto, whom he had placed high hopes on, successfully attacked the Eighth Route General Headquarters.

For the sake of a big victory, he should have more time to see the scenery of Taiyuan.

Shinozuka Yoshio stood still, silent for a long time.

Until the sound of crisp footsteps broke the tranquility.

"General, the Ninth Brigade sent a telegram. The Yamamoto Special Forces failed to attack, but were ambushed by the Eight Route Army and suffered heavy losses.

More than half of the special forces casualties, Yamamoto Osamu was seriously injured, still in the rescue.General Shigejiro Matsuda, requesting instructions. "

After reading the telegram, the telecommunications section chief lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at the commander's back.

The general must be very angry at such bad news.

If he looked carefully, he could see that Yoshio Shinozuka's hand was shaking while holding onto the railing.

After a long time, a sentence came.

"Today's sun is so dazzling!"

The failure of the plan, as the direct executor, Kazuki Yamamoto suffered the biggest blow.

The second is Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army.His hope of a comeback has been completely shattered at this time, and there is a high probability that he will be directly transferred to the reserve team.

"Let's go back, are the cherry blossoms in my hometown blooming?"

Only plum blossoms bloom in winter, but he should be able to catch up with the cherry blossoms.

Looking at the slowly descending figure, the Telecommunications Section Chief muttered softly: "General, you have become much older all of a sudden."

It was a sign of lost hope, of lost spirit.

An hour later, the telegram from Taiyuan spread to all places, and 5000 people from the three brigades were ordered to move closer to the Huting stronghold and sweep the Eighth Route base.

"I lost, no, I didn't!"

"Where the soldiers are headed, sweep up revenge!"

"Just to tell you the Eighth Route Army, my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of."

Yoshio Shinozuka's inner voice turned into actual actions.

Madmen are not scary, what is scary are madmen who have mastered power.

He really can put his madness into practice.
