In the First Army's headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshio sat on a chair and placed a black Go piece on the Go board.
Opposite him was a young soldier with the rank of colonel. His name was Yamamoto Ichimoto. He was a special forces expert who graduated from Germany last year. Now, he had trained more than 80 special forces soldiers and was very valued by Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio.
"Report…"
"Wahaha!"
"General, three of the Air Force's Type 96 Bombers were destroyed by the anti-air artillery fire of the Central Army stationed at Qinglong Mountain. Just now, the Major General Commander of the Air Force's Flying Regiment, Kameda Hiroshi, called to question our intelligence error.”
"Baka Yalu!"
Shinozuka Yoshio, who had a round figure, angrily picked up the chess bowl beside the table and smashed it over.
Bang... The bowl-sized porcelain smashed into the head of the intelligence officer, Haihara Ichiro, and then shattered into dozens of pieces on the floor.
"Haiyi!"
The intelligence officer, Haihara Ichiro, stood upright with a purple bump on his forehead.
"Haihara Ichiro, I'm so disappointed in you. We won't talk about the previous failure to bombard the arsenal, but what about this time? You don't even know that the Central Army there has anti-aircraft guns? You destroyed three bomber planes, and I have to clean up your mess. How stupid!”
"Haiyi, this subordinate is ashamed!"
Haihara Ichiro lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He tried his best to lower his presence. Shinozuka Yoshio glanced at the submissive Haigahara Ichiro and adjusted his breathing to suppress the urge to commit suicide. After all, this was his old subordinate who had followed him for a full ten years. If it was someone else, he would have killed the other party with his saber long ago.
"Hui Yuanjun, I will give you one last chance. Today, the Wutian United Team of Shuiquan Ravine will go to encircle and annihilate Green Dragon Mountain. You will assist in commanding. If you fail again, don't come back.”
"Haiyi, thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I promise that if we can't take down Green Dragon Mountain within two days, I will commit suicide to thank His Majesty.”
Haihara Ichiro's body trembled. After saluting, he left the office with heavy footsteps.
"General, please calm down!"
"Yamamoto, do you have something to say?"
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Ichiki, who stood up straight, with a curious expression on his face. Did he know Haihara? Was he going to plead for mercy?
"General!"
"General, I don't think Haiga-kun will succeed." Yamamoto Ichiki looked at Shinozuka Yoshio with a determined expression.”
"Oh? Tell me your opinion!"
"Haiyi! According to the current intelligence analysis, this subordinate believes that the number of Central Army soldiers stationed at Green Dragon Mountain will not be less than a division, or even an army.”
"Continue."
"Haiyi! General, the farewell telegram sent back by the Sakura Team last night stated that the troops stationed there were the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. Based on this deduction, the huge cannon on the two dragon peaks of Green Dragon Mountain should be a D-made K3240mm howitzer.
Among the countries in the world, only it had a range of 37 kilometers. Because Qinglong Mountain was 40 kilometers away from Anji County, the range of other countries 'artillery could not meet the requirements.”
"Yo, continue!"
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Ichiki with admiration. He had managed to deduce the true caliber of the cannon based on this little information. His ability was no less than that of the Special Higher Police.
As for why the 37-kilometer range could reach Anji County, which was 40 kilometers away, it must have been deliberately hidden by a certain country. This was very normal. The performance of military weapons was a national secret. Who would be stupid enough to announce all their performance?
"General, the Green Dragon Mountain is located inland. The main cannons of the battleships of the various countries cannot threaten it, so there is no need to install powerful Longsong Cannons. Since it was installed, what was the Longsong Cannon protecting?
This subordinate believes that Green Dragon Mountain is a desolate and uninhabited mountain area. It is only possible that there are minerals buried there! There were even rare minerals such as gold, silver, or copper.”
"Only such a special and important metal resource is worthy of that Generalissimo Jiang investing so much capital in Qinglong Mountain. It was obvious that a group could defend Green Dragon Mountain. Impossible. Even if the empire did not invade, a German Armament Infantry Regiment would not be able to stop the army of Yan Baichuan, the original owner of Northwest Jin.
Thus, I believe that the forces of Green Dragon Mountain are at least a division, or even an army. And if a large group attacked the Green Dragon Mountain, the result was self-evident.”
"Yo, Yamamoto, your intelligence analysis is reasonable, and you've convinced me. Regardless of whether there is a gold mine at Green Dragon Mountain or not, it definitely has a secret. As for what the secret is, we will soon find out.”
Shinozuka Yoshio was led astray by Yamamoto Ichiki. His eyes lit up as he looked at the map, feeling excited. Japan was lacking in resources. If Green Dragon Mountain really had rare minerals, then his contribution to the empire would be enough to improve his military rank and even enter the cabinet in the future.
"Yamamoto, I have a mission for you. Take your special forces to investigate the true secrets of Green Dragon Mountain. You should know that the Great Japanese Empire is currently lacking in resources and has fallen into an economic crisis. It urgently needs new blood. However, the First Army could not be mobilized without a good reason!”
"Haiyi, this humble servant will not disappoint the general!”
Yamamoto Ichiki made a solemn promise to Shinozuka Yoshio. When the country needed it, he would lead the special forces alone to explore the secret bases of the enemy's heavily guarded forces. This was his original intention and dream of establishing this unit.
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Ichiki with admiration. They were too similar. Once upon a time, when he was young, he was as ambitious as Yamamoto Ichiki now.
"Go, I will get Hui Yuanjun to cooperate with you.”
"Haiyi, thank you, General!"
Yamamoto Ichiki solemnly saluted Shinozuka Yoshio and left the office in a flash.
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Ichiki's back as he left, and his boiling blood gradually cooled down.
Green Dragon Mountain, what kind of secret was hidden in this mountain range that was 1,000 meters above sea level? It was really exciting! If it was possible, he would have immediately commanded a division to attack Green Dragon Mountain. Unfortunately, this idea was unrealistic.
He was only the commander of the First Army, and he still had the command of the North China Dispatching Corps. If he used an elite division, such a huge commotion would definitely not be hidden.
Even though there were many factions in the Chinese military, the Japanese military was not bad either. There were many factions too. He would not give away the credit that he had obtained and give it to others.
