Ando is over forty, holds the rank of Major, and has a mustache on his upper lip.
The lair was burned, and nearly 200 of his subordinates were killed or injured. Ando was so angry that he almost became mentally ill.
After cleaning up the mess, it was already around 10 a.m. when Shiro Ishikawa and Ryohei Tomita received a call and rushed to Ando's office.
Before that, Deputy Captain Takasaki Ichiro had taken his seat indoors.
Although Tomita Ryohei was only a lieutenant squad leader and only twenty-four years old, he was regarded by Ando as an elite of the Imperial Japanese Army. Many major issues were indispensable for Tomita Ryohei's participation.
Because the regular barracks were under construction, Ando's office and residence were located in the same wooden building. The structure was very simple, with three large bedrooms separated only by curtains, and the main hall was the office.
Leaving aside Takasaki and Ishikawa, Ando directly asked Tomita what he thought about the burning of the base camp.
Tomita Ryohei spoke frankly and expressed three opinions in person——
First of all, the imperial army underestimated the Fenglei Task Force. From the interception of the grain transport team at Huanglang Mountain to the burning of the base camp, it is not difficult to see that the task force is not just a small group of bandits, but a sizable combat force.
Secondly, the imperial army forcibly requisitioned wheat in Heya Village, just a few days before and after. The burning of the base camp this time was purely an act of revenge by Tubal Road.
The key is that whether the interception of the grain transport team or the burning of the base camp is related to Heya Village, especially from the perspective of interception of the grain transport team, Heya Village maintains close contact with Tubal Road, otherwise it would not be so timely.
Ando nodded repeatedly, acknowledging Tomita Ryohei's high opinion.
But when Tomita asked Ando to send troops again and massacre Heya Village, he was scolded by Ando as stupid, ignorant and stupid.
Ando said that only ordinary people would be harmed in this way, and it would more easily arouse Chinese people's hatred and hatred for the Japanese Empire, which would be detrimental to the common prosperity of Greater East Asia.
Tomita was extremely stubborn and insisted on taking extraordinary measures against Heya Village.
Ando laughed evilly and then turned his eyes to Shiro Ishikawa.
Shiro Ishikawa hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Reporting to Major, following your instructions, I ordered the security team to send people to sneak into Heya Village as early as the day after the grain transport team was attacked. So far, there is no news."
After listening to Ishikawa Shiro's report, Ando scolded the security team leader Zhu Yuankui for being naughty. After scolding him, he ordered Ishikawa Shiro to call the security team immediately and inform Zhu Yuankui to come as soon as possible.
The security team was stationed in the compound of the Qiaonan Puppet Office, only a few hundred meters away from the Japanese base camp.
At a short time, Zhu Yuankui drove into the Japanese base camp on a motorcycle.
In terms of age, Zhu Yuankui is about thirty-five years old, at least five years younger than Ando, but in terms of height, he is much taller than Ando.
Under Andeng's questioning, Zhu Yuankui said that the security team sent people pretending to be salesmen and stayed in Heya Village for several days, but no sign of the circus troupe was found. They also went to surrounding villages to inquire, but they all said they had never seen it.
Zhu Yuankui went on to say that he originally planned to send people to investigate and then report the results to the imperial army.
Ando said that judging from the current situation, the Wind and Thunder Task Force has formed a large-scale army. Only one village or a house cannot accommodate so many people. It should turn its attention to the mountains and forests.
Zhu Yuankui vowed to send people to Heya Village again tomorrow. Even if they walked over every plant and tree in Heya Village, they would dig out the nest on Tubal Road.
Ando nodded and smiled, and told Zhu Yuankui to make arrangements quickly.
Zhu Yuankui saluted with his chest raised, turned around and left quickly.
Ando took a sip of strong tea at this time, looked up at the roof and muttered to himself——
There is an old Chinese saying that when snipes and clams fight, the fisherman will profit. The Imperial Japanese Army must learn to be flexible and be good at playing the role of fishermen to reap the benefits.
Speaking of this, Ando instructed Ichiro Takasaki to speed up the formation of the security group and strive to form an army as scheduled within this month to participate in the suppression operation with the imperial army and let the Chinese fight against the Chinese.
