Was the murderer killed? "
Okamura Neji turned his head and looked at the communications staff officer.
"Report to Commander, we have not received any news in this regard yet."
The communications staff officer did not dare to meet Okamura Neji's eyes and lowered his head in response.
The look in Okamura Neji's eyes was terrifying. He turned the table over and righted it, then angrily drew out his sword and swung it, cutting the dining table into pieces.
Tanabe Moritake and the communications staff stood aside and did not dare to express their anger.
Okamura Neji looked at the communications staff officer: "Order Major Kato, the captain of the gendarmerie stationed in Baoding, to capture the attacker. Regardless of life or death, if the attacker escapes, Major Kato will have his belly opened to thank the emperor!"
A lieutenant general died in the defense zone of the North China Front, and he, Okamura Neiji, could not absolve himself of the blame.
Moreover, Miyano Michichi was not an ordinary lieutenant general, but the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army and the number two figure in the Kwantung Army.
Things are getting serious!
"Hi!"
The communications staff officer didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his face. He lowered his head suddenly and then walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty, General, this is strange!"
Tanabe Moritake on the side said in a deep voice: "This bomb attack is obviously aimed at General Miyano. It seems that the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano has been leaked."
At the same time, Okamura Neji, an old devil, was sweating for himself.
Okamura Neiji has been preparing for this time in the Jizhong Experimental Zone for two months.
In the original plan, Okamura Ning wanted to go to Jizhong to direct the iron rolling mopping up operations at close range to perfect his new tactics.
However, due to the Battle of Northwest Shanxi, the 36th Division was severely damaged, and the combat plan handed over by the First Army Headquarters was another mess.
This old devil had to personally take charge and formulate the battle plan.
In the original plan, the Hayate armored train was prepared for Okamura, but due to the need to formulate a combat plan and other work, and Miyano Michichi's initiative to go to the battlefield to observe, Okamura sent the Hayate armored train to protect the palace. Wild road one.
Neji Okamura calmed down his anger slightly and said coldly: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. The bomb attack on the Hayate this time was probably aimed at me!"
Hearing this, Tanabe Moritake said tentatively: "General, do you mean that there are spies in the North China Front Army Headquarters?"
"That's right!" Okamura Neji nodded, "The plan for Miyano Michichi and I to take the Hayate armored train to the front line was made under top-secret circumstances. It was only you and me, Arisu-kun, and a few The trusted staff officer knows."
Tanabe Moritake said: "I will send the military police to arrest these close staff officers!"
Okamura Neiji's eyes flashed sharply, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't scare the enemy yet, maybe keeping this spy is still useful."
Tanabe Moritake instantly understood Okamura Neiji's thoughts and asked, "You mean, using spies to convey wrong information to the enemy?"
Okamura Neji nodded, his expression gloomy.
…
Just when Okamura Neji and Tanabe Moritake were shooting in the air.
Ten kilometers northeast of Baoding.
Major Tsuneta Kato, who led the Baoding Military Police to the scene of the explosion, made a new discovery.
The bomb was buried very close to the leather sofa made by Miyano Michichi, and Miyano Michichi's body was not even found at the scene.
Miyano Michichi and the combat staff in the command car were all killed on the spot.
Since the communication equipment of the Type 94 armored train was all in the command car, after receiving the news and arriving in the car, Kato Tsuneta immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters.
It didn't take long for Kato Tsuneta to figure out the attack process through the investigation of the scene and the oral descriptions of the Japanese soldiers on the armored train.
The enemy first used horsemeat and pepper to destroy the dogs' sense of smell.
At that time, the Japanese patrol team saw this and did not pay attention, thinking that the dog was sick.
The attacker buried the bomb under the stones at the sleepers, waited until the armored train passed by, and then used a detonator to detonate the bomb at a position of 100 meters.
Moreover, the enemy's goal is very clear, which is to blow up Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi.
Then, while the Japanese soldiers in the armored train were stunned by the blast, they fired smoke grenades to obscure their sight, and the attackers responsible for the explosion quickly fled.
The entire attack process was completed in one go.
Even Tsuneta Kato, the captain of the Japanese military police in Baoding, couldn't help but want to give the attackers a round of applause.
If Tsuneta Kato were forced to comment on this attack, there would be only two words: professional.
Subsequently.
Kato Tsuneta's face darkened, this group of attackers might not be simple!
He recalled that the previous captain of the Baoding Gendarmerie was ordered to have a caesarean section to apologize because 2,000 tons of combat supplies were blown up at a train station.
Looking at his abdomen again, Kato Tsuneta felt a dull pain there.
The second-ranking figure in the Kwantung Army was killed in a bomb attack in the area under his jurisdiction. He could not escape his involvement in any case.
"Report to the Major, an enemy mortar position and horse hoof prints were found 800 meters away from the cornfield over there. Judging from the horse hoof prints, there were about 20 enemies who fled northwest on horseback!"
A Japanese soldier hurried over to report to Kato Tsune.
"Report Major, Commander General Okamura has sent an urgent message!"
At this time, the telegraph operator had completed the translation, wrote the contents of the telegram on paper, saluted with a bang and handed the telegram to Kato Tsuneta's hand.
Although he had expected it, after seeing the contents of the telegram, Kato Tsuneta's face instantly turned ugly.
This was an order personally issued by Okamura Neiji. If the attacker could not be caught, he would be dead.
Now half an hour has passed since the bomb attack, and the attacker is on horseback, making it very difficult to catch up.
Kato Tsuneta's face turned grim and he said: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters. About 20 enemy people have fled to the northwest on horseback. Please send out aircraft reconnaissance and cavalry reinforcements!"
Baoding's guard force was depleted of many troops to raid the Eighth Route Army base areas.
There are not many cavalry in the gendarmerie, so they can only ask for reinforcements at this time.
Then, Kato Tsuneta personally led a small number of cavalrymen of more than 40, carrying the radio and chasing them toward the northwest.
…
Zhaojiayu.
New regiment headquarters.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are waiting for the news.
Duan Peng and the others carry a radio. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, they will look for opportunities to send telegrams to the regiment headquarters.
Last night, Duan Peng had asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the regiment headquarters, saying that it had successfully arrived near Baoding.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon and there was still no news from Duan Peng and the others, Zhao Gang looked a little worried and glanced at the watch in his hand from time to time.
"Old Zhao, calm down."
Li Yunlong took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang glanced at him and said nothing.
Captain Li asked for trouble, took out a match, lit it, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Don't worry, my political commissar Zhao, nothing will happen."
Li Yunlong flicked the match twice to extinguish it, and said, "Maybe Duan Peng and the others have completed their mission and are on their way to retreat. Let's just wait for the news."
At this moment, the decoder of the new regiment walked in and gave a military salute: "Report to the regiment leader and political commissar, Captain Duan Peng is calling urgently!"
Zhao Gang's expression changed, and he was ready to rush forward to receive the telegram.
However, Captain Li was faster than him. He threw the cigarette on the ground and quickly got the telegram into his hand.
Zhao Gang's face darkened. On the surface, this man looked calm and relaxed, but in his heart he was more worried and anxious than anyone else.
"Hahaha……"
After reading the contents of the telegram, Li Yunlong was overjoyed and said, "Duan Peng
They succeeded! "
"real?"
Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up and he took the telegram from Li Yunlong's hand. After reading the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help but feel happy.
After Duan Peng and the others blew up the command car of the Gale armored train, they ran all the way to the northwest and sent the telegram while resting.
"Old Zhao, we have obtained two tank battalions!"
"Haha, these are two tank battalions!"
"Oh my God, we're going to get rich!"
Captain Li looked at Zhao Gang, grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and sounded excited.
Although Duan Peng and the others are not out of danger yet, Li Yunlong believes that with Duan Peng and the others' strength, there will be no problem in escaping.
Zhao Gang smiled slightly and asked, "If the head of the headquarters asks us to hand over a tank battalion to the headquarters, will you hand it over or not?"
Li Yunlong's smile froze slightly.
"Are you sincere, kid?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Gang: "Can't you just make me happy?"
Li Yunlong estimated that the new regiment could only retain half of these tanks, which was one battalion.
The 386th Brigade has a tank company equipped with 12 Japanese tanks. The brigade commander usually has trouble with the tank company.
And these tanks, according to Boss Chen, are much better than the tanks of the Little Japanese.
It can be said that the tanks that are about to arrive are simply strategic weapons for the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention the brigade commander and division commander, even the head of the headquarters will be jealous.
With a smile, Zhao Gang said: "If labor and management don't make you happy, who makes you so arrogant?"
After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "Let's report this news to the headquarters first, so that the head of the headquarters will be happy. At the same time, we will also report the business of earning two tank battalions to the headquarters. When the head of the headquarters hears these two The news will definitely make you smile from ear to ear with joy.”
"Don't worry!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "We are not 100% sure that Miyano Michichi is dead."
Although the information provided by Boss Chen has never been wrong.
But unexpected situations can happen at any time, such as Miyano Michichi being temporarily involved and not getting on the armored train and other unexpected situations.
Maybe the head of the headquarters will be happy for nothing, but he will be criticized instead.
"Yes!" Zhao Gang nodded, waiting until he was 100% sure before reporting back.
A sneer appeared on Li Yunlong's lips: "Duan Peng and the others have succeeded, so we can't just sit idle. Let's blow up the Japanese airport tonight!"
In the past few days, Li Yunlong has continuously sent troops to attack the bunkers and gun towers on the Tongpu Highway.
Then send the Sword Squadron to infiltrate the Japanese airport.
It has now been clarified that the 20 bombers that have harassed the base areas in northern Shanxi in the past few days are all at Xincheng Airport in the north of Taiyuan City.
It's time to take out these pesky bombers.
