Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Taicheng!

Known as "Jinyang" in ancient times, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and divided by water. It is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2500 years.

In history, there were 19 emperors who all started from Jinyang, and it was the place where the "dragon veins" gathered for kings, so Taicheng was also called "Dragon City."

"Control the mountains and rivers, occupy the shoulders of the world, control the key points of the four frontiers, and control the capitals of the five plains." It is Taicheng, the most important city in the entire Northwest region.

However, the current Taicheng has been occupied by devils after several wars.

In 1937, the Devil's North China Front Army's First Army, Second Army, two directly affiliated divisions, aviation, artillery, and communications troops entered Taicheng.

In July 1938, the Devils placed the Second Army under the jurisdiction of the Devils Central China Expeditionary Army, and at the same time organized the garrison troops on the prairie into the battle order of the North China Expeditionary Army.

Since then, the North China Dispatch Army has maintained the strength of nine divisions.

And now, Taicheng is in the hands of the First Army of the North China Dispatch Army.

However, the Devil's First Army was not in Taicheng from the beginning. At the beginning, the headquarters of the First Army was in Shanggu, and later moved to Taicheng, serving as the occupying army in Northwest Shanxi for a long time.

The [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th divisions under its banner are particularly powerful, causing a lot of trouble to the local resistance forces.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, is a legend among the devils.

In 1910, Yoshio Shinozuka graduated from the Army University of Japan with the fifth grade in the school. Since then, his life has been advancing all the way, and he even obtained the qualification to study in Germany at that time.

In 1936, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general with outstanding achievements, and two years later led the Tenth Division to participate in a major battle against China.

The following year, with his excellent military ability, he was transferred to Taicheng to serve as the supreme commander of the North China First Army.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Taicheng First Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio is playing Go with a Japanese soldier with the rank of Colonel.

During the Tang Dynasty, Go was introduced to the island country with the envoys sent by the island country at that time, and it suddenly became popular in the whole island country like locusts passing through.

However, most of the games of Go only exist among the nobles of the island countries. They use the way of playing Go to show their status and prove their difference from the common people.

With a white stone falling, the game ended with Yoshio Shinozuka winning.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Excellency Commander's chess skills have improved again."

Kazuki Yamamoto put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and looked at Yoshio Shinozuka with a sincere face.

Shinozuka Yoshio laughed: "Yamamoto-kun is being modest."

"Yamamoto-kun's chess skills are rare in the first army. I know that my chess skills are inferior. I still know that Yamamoto-kun let me on purpose."

Yamamoto smiled and did not deny it.

Born as an island nobleman, he was arranged by his family to learn various skills since he was very young, and Go is naturally one of them.

When he grew up, Kazuki Yamamoto lived up to the expectations of his family and became an excellent soldier. At the same time, he went to the German Special Warfare School to accept the learning concept of special operations.

Two years later, he graduated with honors and returned to China. He formed his own special agent team and stood out among many officers of his generation.

Step on.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and the person who came was Miyano Toshi, Chief of Staff of the First Army.

"Report, Your Excellency, the latest telegram, something has happened!"

Shinozuka Yoshio calmly turned his head to look at him: "Miyano-kun, as a soldier of the empire, you must keep calm at all times, and have the mentality of not changing your face when Mount Tai collapses in front of you."

"Only in this way can we keep a calm mind and make the most correct judgment."

"Hayi!" Jun Miyano said willingly, "I've been taught."

"It's just that the matter this time is related to Your Excellency Takeda."

"Yesterday, Your Excellency Wutian was assassinated in Heyuan County, and the jade has been broken."

Yoshio Shinozuka was taken aback, but his expression didn't change.

Takeda Hideichi, although he is a devil's major, actually he doesn't understand military affairs, and he obtained the position of devil's special envoy entirely by virtue of his family background.

Yoshio Shinozuka naturally wouldn't look directly at this kind of person who relied entirely on connections and had no ability.

Although his death will bring some troubles to Yoshio Shinozuka, Yoshio Shinozuka is not afraid.

Now the entire island country is dominated by the military. As the commander of the First Army, he can find any reason to prevaricate.

"Have you found out who did it?"

"Jin Sui Army? Central Army? Or Tuba Road?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said calmly, as if the death of a devil major was a common thing in his eyes.

"It's not clear yet!" Jun Miyano bowed his head and said, "Based on my humble opinion, I think it's very likely that it was caused by the nearby Tuba Road."

"The Central Army will not attack us easily. The Jinsui Army dare not provoke us. The only possibility is Tuba Road."

"And what is strange is that in Heyuan County, Chen Kuan's puppet army disappeared overnight."

As soon as Miyano finished speaking, Kazuki Yamamoto said immediately, "There is an imperial garrison in Heyuan County, and it is impossible to break through with the fighting power of the Tuba Road."

"It can be seen from this that it must be this puppet army named Chen Kuan who secretly communicated with Tuba Road."

"For such Chinese people who surrendered and rebelled, the empire must give them severe punishment, so as to make an example of others and deter other puppet troops who surrendered."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded: "Miyano-kun, the news of Takeda Hidekazu's broken jade can be reported according to the procedure."

"Where is the material he is responsible for delivering now?"

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, all the escorted materials and the reserves in Heyuan County have been looted."

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes widened fiercely, and he looked at Jun Miyano in a panic.

"Takeda is an idiot, I don't care about his life or death, but how should I explain these materials to His Excellency Tada Hayao?"

In this era, the value of strategic materials is far higher than that of a devil major.

In particular, the truck that Takeda was in charge of transporting contained a large amount of medical drugs. Once the North China Dispatch Army found out, even if he was the commander of the First Army, he would inevitably be held accountable.

"Your Excellency, Commander, don't panic." Kazuki Yamamoto smiled and said, "There is no need to report the robbery of supplies so quickly."

"Just get all the supplies back before His Excellency Tada Hayao knows about it."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, but soon thought of something.

"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult."

"Not long ago, the empire carried out a sweeping sweep of the northwestern region of Shanxi. The troops of the Chinese people have been broken into pieces. It is not easy to find them."

"No!" Kazuki Yamamoto smiled confidently: "Not long ago, I received news that the prisoner-of-war camp I built to train the secret service team was attacked by the Chinese."

"I boldly estimate that the incident in Heyuan County and the attack on the prisoner-of-war camp should be the same group."

"Based on these two places, we can roughly know the range of activities of this group of people, so we can search. I believe that we will be able to retrieve this batch of materials soon."

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned: "But this range is still too big!"

"Yamamoto-kun, what exactly are you going to do?"

The corner of Kazuki Yamamoto's mouth curled up: "Don't worry, Commander, I naturally have my own way, and I can leave the rest to me."
