The headquarters of the Japanese 1st Army, division commander Yoshio Shinohata, has been appointed by the base camp and promoted to the commander of the Japanese 1st Army.

And his new chief of staff, Miyagi Masago, is also with him, participating in the opponent's combat meeting.

In front of them was a high-definition combat map, as well as a sand table and the like.

"What is going on? Captain Nobutetsu Sakata of the Sakata Regiment was actually killed in action? Moreover, even the 40th Regiment suffered a lot of casualties from the Chinese guerrillas. Do you still need the remaining troops of the Sakata Regiment to carry out supporting operations? "

"What on earth is going on? Didn't I give them tanks and chariots and aviation support to fight? Why did they lose their lives and still lose the battle to me?"

When the commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinohata, read the news in his hand about the death of Nobutetsu Sakata, the commander of the Sakata Alliance, his expression was extremely gloomy, his tone was very cold, and he asked the new chief of staff, Masago Miyagi. , said the combat staff officer Mizuno Ge next to him.

"Hai! According to reports from the front line, the reason why such an unexpected battle situation occurred is because the Eighth Route Army did not know when they installed a large number of new weapons and equipment, most of which were German firearms. Moreover, they are the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the main force of the German army!"

"That's why these unexpected battle situations occurred, and that's why Sakata Alliance Captain Nobutetsu Sakata was bombarded and assassinated by these Chinese troops!"

"So the bad situation that led to all this is due to the emergence of sophisticated German weapons and equipment!"

In response to the accusations from 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata, the commander of the Sakata Wing Captain Nobutetsu Sakata also looked even more gloomy to the extreme, even gloomier than just now.

"Baga! Sophisticated weapons and equipment only available to the German main force? When did these Eighth Route Army troops, who usually have inferior weapons and equipment, have such good weapons and equipment? Where did their new weapons and equipment come from? Coming?"

"Did you find out for me the source of their new weapons and equipment?"

However, when the commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinohata, finished digesting the information reported by operational staff officer Mizuno Katsura, he continued to ask with surprise on his face.

"Not yet! Your Excellency, Commander! Because the battle on the front line is still going on fiercely. Fortunately, we have tanks and combat vehicles, as well as the support of many artillery units. Otherwise, I am afraid that this time it will not be the Sakata Regiment. , or the 40th Regiment will be severely beaten by the Chinese troops of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division!"

"Although the Imperial Army has suffered a lot of casualties now, it is still at an advantage and can still counterattack these Chinese troops who suddenly changed their equipment!"

In response to the questioning of 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata, operational staff officer Mizuno Katsura also responded quickly.

"Baga! Send two more regiments to me immediately to support the operation. I will not allow these Chinese armies to have a victorious battle again, and this is also to prevent the insidiousness of these Chinese armies who are suddenly able to fight with new weapons and equipment. Ambushes and sneak attacks are coming!”

"In addition, let me find out immediately who it is, or what force is giving these China Eighth Route Army the support to install new weapons and equipment!"

"Finally, tell me at the base camp to check whether these German weapons and equipment are sold by our new ally, the German Army, to the Eighth Route Army of China!"

After combat staff officer Mizuno Katsura finished responding, 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata's tone became even colder and he issued combat instructions.

"Hai!"

Operation Staff Officer Mizuno Ge immediately replied and then turned around and left.

"What do you think about this? Where did the China troops of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division obtain these new German weapons and equipment?"

"Did you get it from the German army? Or from other foreign armies - where are the firearms dealers?"

"That Liu Feiyang did not die in the Wuhan battle, but came here and gave these soil--the Eighth Route Army new weapons and equipment? What do you think of this? Mr. Miyagi!"

When operational staff officer Mizuno Katsura was ordered to leave, 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata immediately turned around and asked the new chief of staff Masago Miyaki.

"Hey! I think it's very likely that Liu Feiyang's troops did it. I think it's very strange at this time. You must know that our empire has formed an alliance with the German army, so I don’t think the German army will provide weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army, which has not yet become a mature force!”

"So we must report this matter to the base camp immediately, including the one we suspect Liu Feiyang's command!"

"Although there is no news about Liu Feiyang's troops, especially whether Liu Feiyang himself was really killed in the battle, I feel that Liu Feiyang will not die so easily. The main reason is that I still have I have never seen his body, so I feel that the commander’s prediction still needs to be taken seriously. We cannot fail to be on guard that Liu Feiyang’s command is carrying out new weapons and equipment support operations for these Tu-8th Route Army!"

When the 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata asked the question, the new chief of staff Masago Miyagi immediately responded.

For him, he had followed the Japanese army and witnessed the powerful combat effectiveness of Liu Feiyang's new weapons and equipment in the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan.

And even when all the news from the national army said that Liu Feiyang's entire army was destroyed, the new chief of staff Masago Miyagi did not believe it at all.

Because he has personally witnessed Liu Feiyang's mysterious escapes from the encirclement, but there are many, so as long as he doesn't see Liu Feiyang's body in front of him, he will not really trust Liu Feiyang and his troops. , the fact that they were all killed in action.

"Hey! Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. Then report this matter to the base camp immediately! In addition, we are supervising this battle around the clock and will definitely allow the 40th Wing and Sakata Alliance to We must inflict heavy losses on these Chinese troops, or they may be completely wiped out, otherwise I, the newly appointed commander, will lose all my face!"

"Finally, I have to immediately notify Yamamoto, the 56th Vice-Commander, and Susumu Fujita, the division commander of the special operations force, so that they can also pay attention to the battle situation on our side. I don't want to worry about Liu Feiyang's command not having all the troops. If the army is destroyed and they come here to engage in a sneak attack, then we will be in misery!"

"This Liu Feiyang is not easy to deal with. I was also severely injured by him at the time. Therefore, we must be in the most vigilant combat state and enter a high degree of preparedness. We must not allow situations that we cannot predict to occur!"

After the new chief of staff Masago Miyaki responded and suggested, the commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinohata, immediately issued the order decisively.

"Hai!"

"My Pediatric Research Institute thinks so. Commander, I will go and inform them right away!"

Regarding the order of 1st Army Commander Yoshio Shinohata, the new Chief of Staff Masago Miyaki also responded with deep agreement.

"Sou Ga! Then go quickly! I still need to continue to monitor this battle with you!"

"In this battle, we absolutely cannot lose to the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of China. It is just a Chinese guerrilla force. If there is no support from Liu Feiyang's command behind it, I will not notice it at all. I I still can’t believe that with their inferior weapons and equipment, they can still defeat us!”

"And even if they can defeat some of our troops, they still can't resist the counterattack of our army!"

"So our focus now is to use the fastest speed to find out whether the backer behind the incoming China Army this time is Liu Feiyang's command!"

“This is our focus!”

When the new chief of staff Masago Miyaki was about to leave under orders, the commander of the 1st Army, Yoshio Shinohata, was very satisfied and said seriously again.

"Hai!"
