The coordinates of the firelight were nowhere else but the airport outside Chengyang County.
When Yoshio Shinozuka saw this news, he suddenly felt the sky and the earth getting dark, and his body fell softly to the ground.
"General, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General."
"Medicine, medic, General Shinozuka fainted!"
Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly fainted, there was chaos outside the bedroom.
When Yoshio Shinozuka woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.
The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was Yoshio Shinozuka, who grabbed the people around him and asked about the airport.
As expected by Yoshio Shinozuka, the airport was gone, the entire airport was burned down, and nothing was left.
Yoshio Shinozuka already had a heart disease. When he heard the news, his brows immediately furrowed.
He only felt a twitching in his chest, and he felt a suffocation in his heart that he wanted to express but couldn't.
The doctor next to him, Yoshio Shinozuka, had a strange look on his face. He hurriedly took a stethoscope and examined Yoshio Shinozuka's body.
"Your Excellency, General, you must not be angry. You must take care of yourself." The doctor said with concern.
"Huh..." Yoshio Shinozuka exhaled and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
He protected the establishment of the airport very closely, and there would definitely be no problems with the intelligence. Yoshio Shinozuka never imagined that someone would discover the location of the airport.
Besides.
There are also clear and hidden sentries outside the airport. Once the enemy gets close, it won't take long for them to be discovered.
"Reporting to your Excellency, General, we are already investigating this matter thoroughly, and I believe there will be results soon." The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel hurriedly paused and replied.
After a pause, he continued: "But we found horse hoof marks near the airport, so the enemy must have come on horseback."
"Horse riding?" The first thing Shinozuka Yoshio thought of was the 28th Regiment.
But on second thought he gave up the idea.
It is impossible for the 28th Regiment to arrive near Chengyang County silently. How can they easily cross the enemy's blockade?
Moreover, there are not only clear posts outside the airport, but also numerous hidden sentries. How could a large group of people arrive without alerting them?
Having been unable to figure this out, Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hands a little irritably, trying to calm down.
Seeing the unkind expression of Yoshio Shinozuka, no one in the ward dared to say anything.
They all knew that the general was angry, so naturally they did not dare to stay here for fear of being used as a punching bag.
Yoshio Shinozuka lay slumped on the hospital bed, closing his eyes to rest.
Just yesterday, he happily reported to the military headquarters that an airport outside Chengyang County would be built soon.
The imperial army was able to get closer to the control of Jinzhou's air. As a result, even within a day, he received the bad news that the airport had been destroyed.
Yoshio Shinozuka had no idea how he should explain this matter to the military headquarters.
Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka became increasingly upset.
suddenly.
He heard footsteps coming from outside the ward. Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to scold him, but when he looked up, he found that it was his beloved general, Kazuki Yamamoto.
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression softened a little: "Yamamoto-kun, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"General, what's wrong with you?" Kazuki Yamamoto frowned and asked, "Why are you suddenly hospitalized? What happened to the First Army?"
Shinozuka Yoshio originally wanted to hide it, but then he thought about it. Yamamoto Kazuki had received professional intelligence training. He was the one who solved the mystery about the cavalry regiment last time.
Tanuki/span This time, maybe Kazuki Yamamoto can do it too.
"We were attacked at the airport outside Chengyang. The airport was destroyed and all the imperial troops stationed there were killed." Shinozuka Yoshio said slowly.
Even now, when Yoshio Shinozuka mentions this incident, he still feels a dull pain in his chest.
"This is the secret of the First Army. Only a few people know it." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "But now, there is no need to hide this matter."
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "A large number of horse hoof marks were also found outside the airport."
Yamamoto Kazuki asked: "Since a secret airport has been established, why not place open posts and secret sentries around it to conduct all-weather reconnaissance last night?"
Yoshio Shinozuka sighed: "This is the second point I want to make. All the sentries outside the airport were eliminated by the enemy. This is what I don't understand the most.
The airport was suddenly attacked by the enemy. There was no response inside or outside the airport, and no intelligence was even sent out."
With that said, Shinozuka Yoshio handed the information to Yamamoto Kazuki.
Yamamoto Kazuki received the information, his face getting darker and darker: "General, this is most likely a premeditated action.
I suspect that the enemy has long known the location of this airport, but has been preparing a combat plan during this period, otherwise how could they easily find our outpost."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly: "Then who do you think did this?"
"Horse hoof?" Yamamoto Kazuki frowned slightly.
Like Yoshio Shinozuka, Yamamoto also thought of the 28th Regiment. After all, the 28th Regiment had robbed their horses, food and grass not long ago.
"Your Excellency General, we cannot determine this matter in a short period of time. Give me some time and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" Yamamoto Kazuki paused.
"Xinxi, I believe in your ability." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly: "Yamamoto-kun, what are you doing here this time?"
Hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto suddenly expressed surprise: "Your Majesty General, we have captured an Eighth Route Army officer, so I am here to report this to you."
Capturing an Eighth Route Army cadre alive was already very good news for Yoshio Shinozuka.
"We lurked for a long time and finally found him at the place where Eighth Route Army had been active." Yamamoto Kazuki said proudly.
"This guy didn't know how he was captured alive until he woke up."
"Very good, Yamamoto-kun, maybe he can know where the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is." Shinozuka Yoshio said:
"Go and interrogate him immediately. No matter what, you must pry open his mouth and squeeze out all the information he knows. This may be the key to our surprise attack on the Eighth Route Headquarters and the key to avenging our shame!"
"Hai, Your Excellency General!" Yamamoto Kazuki nodded heavily: "In this humble position, I will do my best to complete the mission!"
"Don't waste time, go and interrogate him now!" Yoshio Shinozuka ordered: "Remember, no matter the cost."
"Hai." Yamamoto Kazuki nodded heavily and quickly left here.
After getting the information about Yamamoto Kazuki, Shinozuka Yoshio's mood suddenly improved a lot.
If they can defeat the Eighth Route Army headquarters this time, the military headquarters will not punish them for what happened at the airport, and they will even be promoted and awarded medals.
…
On the other side, Ding Wei was leading the cavalry on their way back to the base.
"Sun Desheng, where are we now?" Ding Wei asked casually.
"Captain, this is Yangcun." Sun Deshengda said: "The base of the Independent Regiment seems to be here."
"Yangcun?" Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "Isn't that boy Kong Jie's base located here?"
