Shentou Ridge, Sad Ridge - The Dong-A Ilbo

An article describing the entire battle in detail was placed on Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka's desk.

A needle could be heard in the room, and the guards outside did not dare to take a breath.It is rare to see His Excellency Lieutenant General lose his composure like this.

Everyone is curious about what was written in that article.

However, no one will meet the anger of the lieutenant general in order to satisfy their own curiosity.

"Asshole, idiot."

It's not that the lieutenant general doesn't have sharper swear words, and swearing such swear words in his capacity is enough to show how angry he is at this time.

Luckily, those stupid guys took their brains out of the shoehorn and didn't let this post get out.

Otherwise, the reputation of the First Army will be ruined in the hands of these people.

"General."

Kazuki Yamamoto, who was standing by the side, saw Yoshio Shinozuka gradually calm down, and greeted him aloud.

Anger doesn't solve anything, and no one wants that to happen.But things have already happened, so I don't regret taking the medicine.

What needs to be considered now is how to quell the incident.

After the propaganda of the dozen or so soldiers who fled back, many soldiers in the army learned of the collapse of the Shiyuan Brigade.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army only had the strength of one regiment at best, and at the cost of about a hundred casualties, it wiped out a total of 1500 people from the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army.

Counting only the imperial army, the casualty ratio was 1:5, and it was not the beginning of the war between China and Japan.

The Japanese imperial army is not those incompetent beggar troops.

There is no doubt that this is a shame, a great shame for the First Army.It is also a disgrace to the Imperial Army of Japan.

The shame must be washed away with the blood of the enemy.

Shinozuka Yoshio has seen the big world, the 203 Heights of the Russo-Japanese War, Nogi Nozomi's pig-rush tactics, consumed the lives of imperial troops in three days, and achieved an important fulcrum for the victory of the entire battle.

A mere 500 people is nothing at all.

If it weren't for the reporter's manuscript, compared with the shocking casualties between the enemy and the enemy, the lieutenant general would not have looked at it more.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who regained his composure, stood by the window looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and asked, "Yamamoto, what do you think about this matter?"

When Yamamoto learned of the specific situation, he really thought about it: "There is no doubt that this battle reflects two situations.

The imperial army's pride and arrogance are engraved in their bones. As long as they send more people to investigate, they can completely avoid being ambushed.

However, according to the report of the soldiers who took it back, Shi Yuan once said arrogantly that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to lay an ambush there.

So no one was sent to investigate at all, which was an extremely stupid move. "

Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly, the atmosphere of arrogance in the army is not a day or two.

Everyone from top to bottom regards the Chinese people as chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.

At the beginning of the war, it was still circulating in the army that it took three months to conquer the Chinese.

The degree of its arrogance can be seen.

Especially the overwhelming situation at the beginning of the war has aggravated this atmosphere.It has continued until now.

Not to mention the lower-level commanders, but Yoshio Shinozuka, who described himself as the most sober person in the army, was still contemptuous in his bones when facing the Chinese.

"This trend should be killed."

Shinozuka Yoshio said something lightly, and then asked, "What about your second question?"

Kazuki Yamamoto's face was a little heavy, and this discovery was more important to him.

"General, I think the Eighth Route has been supported by unknown forces.

We all know that although the Tuba Road is poorly equipped, it definitely does not lack the determination to fight against the imperial army.

Ishihara Battalion, tanks encountered on the battlefield.

The Hasegawa detachment, when encountering the blocking Eight Routes, was even capable of launching an artillery battle with the imperial army.

And the firepower density of these two eight-way machine guns has been raised by a level.It is comparable to the imperial army, and even surpassed.

These all show that the Eighth Route Army has received the support of an unknown force, which has increased the number of its weapons and equipment and ammunition. "

What Kazuki Yamamoto thought of, Shinozuka Yoshio also thought of.He frowned tightly, with a look of exhaustion written all over his face.

Several people in Tubalu used one rifle, and each person didn't even have ten rounds of ammunition on average.

Even fighting against the imperial army, the second highest amount used was not enough.You can only make some low-quality broadswords to fill up the number.

The traitors bought by intelligence personnel have already found out all these real situations.

This is the reason why the Imperial Japanese Army has never regarded the Tuba Road as its main enemy.

No matter how resolute the determination is, without strength in hand, and without enough guns and ammunition, it will be difficult for Tubalu to resist the rule of the imperial army.

Now, what did Yoshio Shinozuka hear?
Tuba Road not only greatly increased the density of machine gun firepower, but now it even has tanks?

In this way, it will truly become a confidant of the imperial army.The imperial army's rule in North China will be greatly challenged.

"Did the Americans do it, or did the Soviets do it?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked subconsciously.

Kazuki Yamamoto hesitated, but still expressed his conjecture: "General, I think the Soviets may have done it.

That tank seemed to be a Soviet-made tank, and the Americans had no choice but to transport a tank to Shanxi without anyone noticing it.

Moreover, the Americans supported the Chongqing government in the south.Only the Soviets and Yan'an came from the same source, and there is a possibility of aiding the Eight Routes to cause trouble for the imperial army. "

Kazuki Yamamoto's analysis is not unreasonable, and a certain instigator seems to have never thought of it.

Throw the blame to the Soviets.

But so what if the Soviets did it, the failure of the Battle of Nomenkan is vividly remembered.

The imperial army couldn't beat the Soviets and tried to reason with the Soviets.The Soviets would tell them about fists.

Useless.

Yoshio Shinozuka: "It seems that we need to speed up the implementation of the cage policy, and eliminate Hachiro in our cage as soon as possible.

Even if the Soviets wanted to interfere, there was no power to support it. "

Kazuki Yamamoto agrees with this.Solving the problem from the root is indeed a solution.

Without the Eighth Route Army, the equipment sent by the Soviets fell into the hands of warlords in other places, which was equivalent to being sent to the imperial army.

Those people are really too corrupt and vulnerable.

The Eighth Route Army is the enemy of the imperial army ruling North China.

Let's talk about the problem at hand, Shinozuka Yoshio turned around, "Yamamoto, the shame of the imperial army will be washed away with blood, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, General. Find them and destroy them." Yamamoto replied loudly.

Another unit was to be added to his list of Special Forces to eliminate.

The next day, the Dong-A Ilbo published an article—Shentouling, on the spirit of the imperial army.

The spring and autumn brushwork was used again, and it has always been a tradition for the Japanese army to report good news but not bad news.Casualty figures have shrunk considerably and been summed up.

The report focused on the spirit of the imperial army. Under the blow of the enemy's superior force, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the officer led the soldiers to launch a desperate charge.

The Chinese people were shocked by the spirit of the imperial army, and they couldn't even hold the knife steadily in the stabbing.

Fake news is not a patent of the 21st century, it is an old traditional art to engage in this.
