"Nani?"

"Loss five bombers?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked. He even doubted the authenticity of the information.

However, the Chief of Staff told him that this was a top-secret report from the Second Flight Division and he did not even dare to make it public, so he believed it was true.

The losses of the five bombers were unique in the Second Flying Division.

Especially the losses in the Taihang Mountains are even more incredible. That is why the top secret report is required.

If it is a public notice, I am afraid that the base camp will ask about it.

What? Are you all waste?

Did Tujiao use bamboo poles to stab your bomber down?

Who doesn’t know that the Tujiao Route Army did not even have anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-aircraft guns, so how did they shoot down the Imperial Army’s plane?

If one loss is an accident, then five losses...

Absolutely unforgivable!

These are two flying teams!

One flying team has only three planes!

There are less than a hundred planes in a pilot division!

You lost five at once?

Does anyone want to have a septum?

"The commander of the Ono Division asked us quietly, asking if the Tujiao Route Army had obtained any new weapons..." The Chief of Staff stopped talking.

"Is there any information about this?" Shinozuka Yoshio frowned. But it was not obvious.

After all, he is the commander of the First Army. His identity is here.

The losses of the five aircraft are nothing. Just find the reason behind it.

The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Imperial Army had aircraft.

In the Chinese battlefield, the Imperial Army's aircraft had an absolute advantage.

Even if some Soviet volunteers arrived in secret and drove planes to help China resist the imperial army, they were just ants. The scoundrels were shaking big trees and the mantis arm was used as chariots.

"No." said the Chief of Staff cautiously, "The Eighth Route Army has always been in our blockade circle."

After a slight pause, the Chief of Staff said slowly: "Even if Chongqing obtains new weapons, it will not be possible to distribute them to the Turkish Eighth Route Army."

"Then order the military police headquarters and the special high school department to strengthen the spy on information in this area."

"Director. I have arranged it. If there is any disturbance in the Tujiao Route Army, we will definitely be able to know in advance."

"One more thing..."

Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to speak but stopped.

The Chief of Staff couldn't help but feel very strange.

What made the commander so embarrassed?

It should be noted that Yoshio Shinozuka's family has some secret connections with the Emperor.

Although no one made it clear in person, the Chief of Staff believed that such rumors were definitely not groundless.

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka has a very deep background.

First of all, he graduated from the 23rd class of Army University. When he graduated, he ranked fifth in the score. He was selected into the Sabre Group and was awarded the sword for Emperor Murohito.

Oh, who is Emperor Murohito? It is the grandfather of Emperor Hirohito who is currently in power.

It may be unfamiliar to say that this name is. He also has another name, called Emperor Meiji. It is the Meiji Restoration.

Those who also graduated from the 23rd class of Lu University include Umezu Mijiro, Nagata Tetsuyama and others. Yoshio Shinozuka and Umezu Mijiro have a good relationship. This time he replaced Umezu Mijiro as the commander of the First Army.

Umezu Mijiro has now served as the commander of the Kanto Army and has been loved by the emperor. He is about to be promoted to general of the army. Yoshio Shinozuka naturally has a high rise and a bright future.

"Some time ago, Queen Michiko..." Shinozuka Yoshio said very cautiously, "Someone once organized an advancing team in the name of Queen Michiko and secretly entered the Taihang Mountains..."

"Which corps was sent out?" The Chief of Staff thought seriously and secretly curious. Who is so bold? Using Michiko's name?

"They set out from Tianjin. It was assisted by Kenji Doihara." Yoshio Shinozuka said carefully, "but now he is missing."

"This..." The Chief of Staff frowned secretly and did not dare to express his opinions easily.

Queen Michiko...

Kenji Doihirahara...

Both names are a bit taboo!

Especially the latter, he is a veteran of the Imperial Army secret service, and has a very strong influence.

Kagesaki, who has been making a big splash in Shanghai recently, is the top player of Kenji Doihara. These two people are still very famous in the Imperial Army.

So, the problem is that something happened to the advance team arranged by Kenji Doihara himself?

Needless to say, losing contact is done.

The result of the end is either being captured or killed in battle.

With the loyalty of the advance team, the whole group should be broken. They should not be willing to be captured.

The question now is, how is the superior going to deal with this matter?

Public investigation? Secret investigation?

To be honest, this matter is really hard to deal with.

The main reason is that the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountains is really crazy.

Especially in the past ten days, the Eighth Route Army around Taihang Mountain seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and suddenly became active.

At Cangyunling, the Japanese army lost a Sakata United team.

Another Suzuki detachment was lost.

Losed Jincheng.

Gao Ping is currently besieged.

Lingchuan is also currently besieged.

Qincheng also fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

It seems that there are Eighth Route Army everywhere, and there are also the "main force" of Eighth Route Army everywhere.

All the Japanese army reported that the Eighth Route Army they encountered had "strong artillery fire", either blocked the attack or failed to break through.

Now, there are still five bombers that have been knocked out for no reason. The remaining pilots cannot accurately describe what weapons the Tujiao Route Army used. This is very strange.

It feels like the entire Taihang Mountains are not normal for the past ten days. The Imperial Army is subject to constraints everywhere and losses everywhere here.

After a rough count, the Imperial Army has lost almost ten thousand people.

This is a very, very large number.

It should be noted that the entire Wuhan Battle did not suffer such great losses.

Moreover, these losses do not include the wounded. All of them are broken.

Almost all of them are broken.

The Sakata United team was forced to burn all the general flags.

To be honest, the Chief of Staff admires how calm Shinozuka Yoshio is still so calm.

If I had changed myself to be the commander, I would have smoked my butt long ago.

The situation is very bad!

It seems that the Tu Eighth Route Army is planning a counterattack?

They may even put the entire 36th Division into their own pockets.

It was already shocking that the Imperial Army lost the Sakata United.

If you lose another complete division, it is really indescribable.

Fortunately, Yoshio Shinozuka and Mijiro Umezu have already contacted, who agreed to send reinforcements into the pass to fight together.

The 10th Division, the old unit that Yoshio Shinozuka had led before, may be transferred here.

If the 10th Division arrives as scheduled, the strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi will soar.

"Send someone to investigate."

"Tie!"

The Chief of Staff agreed. Suddenly he wanted to speak but stopped.

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and signaled him to speak.

"Will you order Colonel Yamamoto..."

"Don't bother him. He has more important tasks."

"That……"

The Chief of Staff thought of a name, but he did not say it in the end.

Since even Yamamoto Ichiki refused to send it out, that person was even more impossible. He was a secret weapon of the Imperial Army lurking in the enemy camp! He would not use it easily.

Well, let others spy on it first. Isn’t there a Qin Daozong?

Hope there is some results.
