There was a sound of footsteps outside Yoshio Shinozuka's office.
Yamamoto Kazuki opened the door and walked in confidently. He wanted to report to Yoshio Shinozuka about the recent training of the Yamato Soul Commando, but he found that Yoshio Shinozuka had a bad look on his face.
"General, what happened?" Yamamoto Kazuki asked.
Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka stopped what he was doing and looked up at Kazuki Yamamoto, but he did not answer the question and said angrily.
"Baga Yalu, you idiot, what have you been doing during this time? You disappeared for so long. Do you know how many things happened in Jinzhou during this time?"
Yamamoto Kazuki heard the unkindness in Shinozuka Yoshio's words, and immediately realized that something serious might have happened, but he still defended unconvinced.
"Your Majesty General, all this I do is to improve the combat capabilities of the troops. If you give me some more time, I believe I can put the head of the commander of the 28th Regiment on your desk!"
"Baga, that's enough!" Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the table: "By the time your unit is successfully trained, my head will be chopped off!"
The more Yoshio Shinozuka spoke, the angrier he became. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Yamamoto Kazuki and said, "You idiot, Kuroshima Jundama was shattered. Until now, we have not found out who did it.
And you are still thinking about the army. If I had known this, I should not have strongly supported you in setting up that special force.
I don't see any value in your army except a waste of military expenditures for the First Army. I don't know how to respond to calls from the military headquarters!
You idiot, I will lose all my face to you. How can the First Army lose its face?
You guys are just doing this for your own personal gain. That idiot Takakura Hayabusa has already failed. The military has long criticized special operations.
If I hadn't been lobbying for you, do you think you would still be here?"
As Shinozuka Yoshio's confidant, Yamamoto Kazuki naturally trusted him very much, especially since this guy also studied in Germany.
Having received a high level of military education, when he heard Yamamoto Kazuki mention special operations, Shinozuka Yinan's eyes also lit up.
In particular, Kazuki Yamamoto would rather give up the rank of major general and hold the rank of colonel to form a special force.
This made Yoshio Shinozuka even more interested. As a Japanese army officer, almost all officers valued promotion in their positions.
But Kazuki Yamamoto would actually give up his rank as a general to form an army he had never heard of.
Yoshio Shinozuka also strongly supported Yamamoto Kazuki in forming a special forces team against all opinions, but until now, no results have been achieved.
The military headquarters and the other troops did not hide their inner sarcasm at all, and Kuroshima Morita Tamaki, who was his confidant, was not around.
Things happened one after another, making Yoshio Shinozuka increasingly irritable.
After hearing what Shinozuka Yoshio said, Yamamoto Kazuki was also horrified. He could not have imagined it.
The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Brigade was actually annihilated, and the Kuroshima Morita Regiment was also shattered.
A royal baron died in the area under the jurisdiction of the First Army. No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry.
"General, what happened and why did it happen?" Yamamoto Kazuki asked.
It was precisely because Yoshio Shinozuka ordered a period of cessation of all external operations and a period of recuperation that Yamamoto Kazuki wanted to increase the combat effectiveness of his troops during this period.
Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly, pulled out a stack of battle reports with an unkind expression, and slapped it on the table.
"Here is the battle report about the Black Island United. Take a look at it yourself and tell us what you think."
Yamamoto Kazuki looked solemn as he picked up the battle report and read it carefully.
The further he looked down, the more frightened Yamamoto Kazuki became.
Soon, he read the battle report and said with a gloomy face: "Your Excellency, General, I suspect that this is a battle of the Chinese Army against the Black Island Regiment."
"Oh?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "Keep talking."
"From the moment the Huting stronghold was attacked, it was all to attract the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment!" Yamamoto Kazuki said coldly.
"Why can't the idiots in the Intelligence Department discover such a simple question? General, I think we need to screen out the losers in the army!"
"Yamamoto-kun, pay attention to the tone of your words!" Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the table hard.
Yamamoto Kazuki immediately lowered his head honestly.
"Tell me why you think so." Yoshio Shinozuka said coldly.
"Hai, Your Excellency General!" Yamamoto Kazuki paused, and then said: "The Huting stronghold was attacked twice, which is very unreasonable in itself.
I suspect they just want to use the Huting stronghold to attract the Black Island Alliance to come for support!"
"Reason, Yamamoto-kun, stop your unnecessary speculation." Yoshio Shinozuka said in a bad tone.
"Your Excellency General, the Huting Stronghold is a stronghold that guards multiple counties. Chengyang County and the Black Island Regiment are the closest to the Huting Stronghold.
If the Huting stronghold is attacked, it will be Kuroshima-kun who leads his troops to attack.
Because they are close and they are cavalry, their support will arrive faster than in other counties.
Moreover, the road from Chengyang County to the Huting stronghold is also very suitable for cavalry attacks. In terms of time and combat effectiveness, reinforcements from Chengyang County are the best choice.
I believe that the first time the Huting stronghold was attacked for the first time, this was just the Chinese army wanting to test whether the supporting troops would arrive appropriately.
The second time was to deploy the ambush troops and better ambush the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.
Otherwise, with the mobility of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, how could they not be able to retreat!"
"You mean, the Koutei stronghold is just a cover, and they just want to eat the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked.
"That's right, Your Excellency General." Yamamoto Kazuki said confidently: "If my guess is correct, Kuroshima-kun must have sent a message to other county garrison, prohibiting them from going to support."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly: "This is indeed the case. Kuroshima Morita is an extremely proud guy. This is not surprising."
After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio became furious: "But who on earth has such courage and dares to plan an ambush on the Imperial Army's cavalry regiment!
Our Special Higher Education Department has not found any news of large-scale mobilization of the Chinese Army."
After Yamamoto Kazuki's analysis, Shinozuka Yoshio began to believe that this battle was entirely for the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment, even if he still doubted it.
But why?
Although Yoshio Shinozuka is not bad at ability, he still subconsciously speculates on things based on his experience.
For a force that can annihilate the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, they will inevitably pay several times the price in terms of men, and the exchange is not worth it.
There was such a big commotion, could it be because of a cavalry unit?
Even though the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was eliminated, Chengyang County was still under his control.
Even if Chengyang County is captured, the troops occupying Chengyang County will still be surrounded by the imperial army.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.
Yamamoto Kazuki was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "General, I think I already know who did this.
I also understand why they took action against the Black Island Cavalry Regiment."
