I am helping

Chapter 797 New business!

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Yoshio Iwamatsu ordered the guards on duty to leave, even the staff officers were sent away, and he sat alone in the office.

His face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and his right hand tightly held the handle of the lieutenant general's saber.

Yoshio Iwamatsu still didn't draw out his saber, it would be very painful to commit suicide by caesarean section.

Soon, Yoshio Iwamatsu took out the Nambu Type [-] pistol again, but in the end he didn't have the courage to commit suicide and put the gun back in the holster.

In front of the table was a telegram from the base camp.

As Yoshio Iwamatsu expected, he was regarded as the blame man for the 33rd and 37th divisions that were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Even the main force of the Mongolian Army was defeated and severely injured, and he also took some responsibility. The North China Front Army Staff Department said that if the First Army hadn't asked for help, the main force of the Mongolian Army would not have been defeated and severely injured. The commander of the Mongolian Army Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro and Lieutenant General Issaku Nishihara, head of the 3rd Tank Division, would not be killed by shells either.

Although Yoshio Iwamatsu was not ordered to plead guilty by caesarean section, Yoshio Iwamatsu has been relieved of his post as commander of the First Army.

According to the normal process, even if Yoshio Iwamatsu was dismissed, he should return to China to participate in the reserve service and serve as a military councilor.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu was dismissed. Although he returned to his country to participate in the reserve service, he did not have the post of military councilor.

It is equivalent to saying that although Yoshio Iwamatsu still holds the rank of lieutenant general, he no longer has any post.

Not only did his status plummet in the Japanese army, but his family also plummeted.

Yoshio Iwamatsu really wanted to die, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide after all.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's eyes are gloomy, Neji Okamura is a coward... If Neji Okamura can bear some responsibility for the defeat, even if he is dismissed and returned to his country, he can still serve as a military councilor.

To be reasonable, Okamura Ningji should have been responsible for such a large loss this time.

He, the commander of the First Army, just obeyed Okamura Ningji's orders.

"Ugh!"

Looking at another thick stack of documents on the table, Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness.

This stack of documents is the documents and information about Li Yunlong that he ordered the intelligence department to collect since he took office as the commander of the First Army.

Before he was promoted, the First Army Command had collected a lot of information.

However, during the Eighth Route Army's attack on Taiyuan, those materials have disappeared, and may have been burned by officers of the First Army, or may have been snatched by the Eighth Route Army.

However, Kazuki Yamamoto read those documents and rearranged them based on his memory.

The intelligence documents in front of us recorded from the defeat and heavy damage of the Sakata Wing to the defeat and heavy damage of the First Army and the Mongolian Army this time, all of which were recorded.

These are important documents, and when Yoshio Iwamatsu leaves office, they will be handed over to the next Commander of the First Army.

At this moment, there were some hurried footsteps outside the door.

A moment later, Major General Kazuki Yamamoto appeared at the door with a saber and more than a dozen secret agents.

Kazuki Yamamoto saw Yoshio Iwamatsu froze slightly, and then waved to the secret service team behind him, motioning them to leave.

All the secret agents paused silently, then walked away quickly.

Kazuki Yamamoto heard the report from the people below that the commander had sent away the staff and guards. At the time when the First Army was defeated and the commander was dismissed, he thought Yoshio Iwamatsu was going to commit suicide by caesarean section, so he brought people here in a hurry .

However, seeing that Yoshio Iwamatsu did not commit suicide, Kazuki Yamamoto was a little disappointed.

Why not apologize by caesarean section?

The locust army lost 6 and killed four imperial lieutenant generals. Such a large loss should be apologetic.

Kazuki Yamamoto doesn't mind being Yoshio Iwamatsu's intermediary.

"Yamamoto-kun, are you here?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Kazuki Yamamoto who was coming towards him, this unsmiling, loyal major general of the empire, keen on special operations but untimely.

"Hi!"

Walking up to Yoshio Iwamatsu, Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head with a complicated expression.

"Your Excellency, are you really leaving?"

Kazuki Yamamoto asked knowingly.

"Yes, Yamamoto-kun." Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have suffered such a big loss this time, and I did not go to the court-martial. His Majesty the Heavenly Locust has already done so much for me."

The corner of Yamamoto's mouth twitched. He also knew that Yoshio Iwamatsu was responsible for Ningji Okamura, and asked, "Is the next Commander of the First Army determined?"

"It's confirmed." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded. "After I was dismissed, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi, the current chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, will take over as the commander of the First Army."

Last year, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Miyano Michiichi, was killed in Baoding by Duan Peng.

Yoshimoto Teiichi succeeded Miyano Doichi as Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army.

After learning the lesson of Miyano Michiichi being killed, Yoshimoto Teiichi didn't dare to step into North China at all.

But the more one is afraid of something, the more often something will come.

Yoshimoto Zhenyi was directly transferred by the base camp to Shanxi, the most dangerous area with the worst law and order in North China, as the commander of the First Army.

Although Yoshimoto Sadaichi was reluctant to do so, this was an order from the base camp, and he had no choice but to obey.

"Your Excellency, when are you leaving?"

"I'll see you off myself..."

Kazuki Yamamoto opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say, so he asked.

Yoshio Iwamatsu cast a sideways glance at Kazuki Yamamoto, thinking that you really want me to leave the First Army?
but.

Yoshio Iwamatsu himself had wanted to slip away a long time ago. He didn't want to take the position of commander of the First Army for a day.

"Next month."

Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed and said:
"After the airport is repaired and the new commander arrives, I will leave by transport plane."

During the battle, Wusu Airport was bombarded by 105mm howitzers of the Eighth Route Army from a long distance. The runway was severely damaged, and some hangars were blown down. It will take at least half a month to repair.

However, the command of the base camp is that Yoshio Iwamatsu will not be able to leave Taiyuan until Yoshimoto Teiichi takes office as the commander of the First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu suddenly thought that there is an old saying in China that if you lose your fortune, you will never know it is a blessing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation in Shanxi. The Eighth Route Army is getting stronger and stronger, and it will only be a matter of time before the First Army is wiped out.

Is it better to lose my position as the commander of the First Army than to lose my life?
"Yoshimoto-kun, I wish you good luck..."

Thinking of this, Yoshio Iwamatsu let out a long sigh of relief, finally being able to leave this damned place.

……

the next day.

Zhaojiayu Village.

The regiment headquarters of the new regiment.

"Captain, the headquarters has called back."

Li Yunlong had just returned to the regiment headquarters after his inspection of the army. The chief of staff, Wang Dehou, held a telegram in his hand and walked up with a smile on his face:
"The chief commended you and our new regiment in the telegram, and only asked us to hand in 30 Katyusha rockets, and let us keep the remaining 30 Katyusha rockets."

"is it?"

Li Yunlong changed his expression when he heard the words, and quickly looked at the telegram in his hand.

Soon, Li Yunlong's eyes scanned the content of the telegram in his hand, and it was indeed the same as what Wang Dehou said.

Except for the commendation and the Katyusha rockets that were only handed in half.

The head of the headquarters also praised the business of this single aircraft.

In addition, the head of the headquarters gave Li Yunlong full responsibility for the exchange of new guns and the new gun production line, which is equivalent to handing over the decision-making power to Li Yunlong.

This also represents the absolute trust of the head of the headquarters in Li Yunlong.

Of course, the head of the headquarters also wants all 60 Katyusha rocket launchers, and then organize them into 3 Katyusha rocket launchers.

The Katyusha rockets showed their prowess in this battle.

Although the head of the headquarters has not seen this weapon of mass destruction, he has long coveted it.

but.

This time Li Yunlong fought such a big victory and made such a big contribution. In addition to the new gun business, he also had a full 90 aircraft and various technical personnel learning opportunities.

Therefore, the head of the headquarters researched and decided that only half of the 60 Katyusha rockets earned this time should be handed in by Li Yunlong.

Moreover, Katyusha rockets are a big consumer of ammunition. In the future, if the head of the headquarters wants to replenish the rockets of Katyusha rockets, he will have to rely on Li Yunlong.

"Great!"

Li Yunlong looked at this unexpected surprise, and his blood loss mood was swept away immediately.

Of the 30 Katyusha rocket launchers, Li Yunlong decided to keep 20 for himself and distribute 5 each to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

As a result, there were still 36 Katyusha rocket launchers in the new regiment. Li Yunlong decided to form two Katyusha rocket launcher battalions, and the artillery firepower was greatly enhanced.

"Old Xing."

Li Yunlong looked at Xing Zhiguo at the side: "How is the repair of the ammunition depot and oil depot at the airport? Will it be completed next month?"

"Reporting head, there is no problem." Xing Zhiguo nodded, and then asked, "Do we want to repair the hangar?"

Drawing on the experience of shelling the devil's airport, the new regiment decided to separate the ammunition depot and the oil depot at the airport, and they were all in underground warehouses.

"There is no need to repair the hangar, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, costing people and money."

Li Yunlong shook his head:
"We have radar. When the devil's plane comes to attack the airport, we will know immediately that our plane is ready to take off at any time."

"However, the pilot's quarters must be safe."

Even if the hangar is repaired, there is a high probability that it will not be able to withstand the devil's heavy aerial bomb.

"Yes, Captain."

Xing Zhiguo responded.

Li Yunlong stared at the map and smiled: "When we have planes next month and we have air superiority, we can launch a sweep against the devils at any time, or even launch a large-scale annihilation campaign like last time."

Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou looked at each other when they heard the words, their eyes and expressions showed a stern look, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly.

Offensive and defensive changes.

In the past, it was the devils who besieged and attacked the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

Later, the Eighth Route Army besieged and attacked the big cities occupied by the devils.

at this time.

Huang Erhu walked in quickly, and snapped a military salute to Li Yunlong: "Report to the head, Boss Yan is here, and he said that he brought new business under the order of Boss Chen."

"New business?"

"Please hurry up..."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, a big deal is not over yet, a new deal came so soon?
As a qualified businessman, Li Yunlong is not afraid of a lot of business, but afraid of no business.
