Taiyuan.
Taiyuan was an ancient city with a history of more than 2500 years. It was a historical city that controlled mountains and rivers and occupied the shoulders of the world. It was the key to the four fortresses and controlled the capital of the five plains. The city was surrounded by mountains on three sides and was an important city in the entire northwest region.
After the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan, Taiyuan was occupied by the Japanese.
Currently, the headquarters of the Japanese's North China Front Army was in Peiping.
In 1937, the North China Front Army had eight divisions and one mixed brigade under its jurisdiction, consisting of the First Army, the Second Army, two divisions, aviation, artillery, signal, railway, gendarmerie, and military station.
On July 4, 1938, the Second Army was placed under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Central China Dispatching Army. At the same time, the Mengjiang garrison under the jurisdiction of the Emperor was incorporated into the battle sequence of the North China Front Army.
Since then, the North China Front Army had maintained a strength of 10 divisions.
The Japanese's First Army in Taiyuan.
The Japanese First Army was formed on August 31st, 1938. At the beginning, its headquarters was located in Baoding, and later moved to Taiyuan. It served as the occupying army of Jin Province for a long time, and was responsible for commanding the 6th Division, 14th Division, 20th Division, and other divisions.
To be honest, the combat power of the Japanese First Army was still very strong.
At this time, in the Japanese First Army headquarters.
Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Miyano were playing Go.
Ta Ta
Hurried footsteps sounded.
Deputy Songdao Masori walked in quickly and said,"" Commander, something happened."
Shinozuka Yoshio calmly asked,"Songdao Kun, what's the matter? Why are you so flustered?”
"I just received news that General Taixiong Ishihara was killed in Qili Town."”
As soon as he said that, Shinozuka Yoshio held the Go piece in the air for three seconds before it landed on the board.
The death of a general was no small matter.
Miyano Shun, who was sitting opposite Shinozuka Yoshio, asked calmly,""Who did it?"
"I don't know!"
"This time, General Taixiong Ishihara followed the 121 transport team to Taiyuan and was ambushed in Qili Town. All the warriors of the empire were killed, and two trucks of military supplies were robbed!”
"All the warriors of the small team stationed in Seven Mile Town died for the country, but the 4th reinforced company of the Imperial Association Army's mixed brigade disappeared!”
"The initial suspicion is that it was the work of the Fourth Strengthened Company of the Imperial Association Army!”
Two carts of military supplies were robbed?
These two trucks were transporting supplies to Taiyuan.
The other necessities were not important, but the truckload of medicine made Shinozuka Yoshio's heart ache.
In this era of war, medicine was the most valuable.
Shinozuka Yoshio's hand that was holding the chess piece paused in the air for a few seconds before he continued to play chess and said,"I don't think it's that simple. The 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army only has 200 people at most.”
"These Imperial Association soldiers are no match for our Imperial Army!”
"I think there's something fishy about this matter. Arrange for the intelligence department to investigate it for me!”
It had to be said that Shinozuka Yoshio was an experienced old ghost. He could see through the trick at a glance.
"Ha Yi!" Matsushima Masori nodded.”
Matsushima Masori then began to arrange for the Japanese intelligence department to investigate the matter.
This would require a certain amount of time.
Shinozuka Yoshio continued to play chess with Miyano as if nothing had happened.
They chatted about the situation in Huabei while playing chess.
"Miyano-kun, what do you think of the current situation in North China?"”
Miyano Shun: " The situation is not optimistic. We are in a stalemate with the anti-Japanese forces, especially the Eighth Route Army, which specializes in guerrilla warfare. It is not very troublesome. We still have no way to annihilate them in one fell swoop!”
Pa…
Shinozuka Yoshio placed a piece on the chessboard and looked at Miyano."Miyano-kun, don't worry. The situation will change very soon.”
Shinozuka Yoshio had absolute trust in his beloved general Yamamoto Ichiki and his special agent team for daring to say such words…
