[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 490: It's all caused by special smoke (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )

As everyone knows, the number of veterans is directly related to the strength of a unit's combat effectiveness. The more veterans, the more combat-ready the troops will be, and vice versa.

The reason why the Japanese army was so strong before was because the vast majority of the soldiers in the previous Japanese army were composed of experienced veterans, and the shortest service was more than three years. In addition, the Japanese army continued to send troops to China and the Korean Peninsula, and trained troops with the resistance forces of Korea and China, so when the war began in 37, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was at its peak.

During the same period, although China was also prone to wars, there were countless excellent soldiers. However, at that time, China was no match for the Japanese army in terms of the quality of its soldiers or weapons and equipment, so as soon as the war began, China presented a one-sided unfavorable situation, and it was precisely because of this that the arrogant and complacent Japanese army shouted the arrogant slogan of "destroy China in three months".

Now, two years later, China is still holding on. Although China's losses were surprisingly huge, the losses inflicted on the Japanese army were also extremely heavy. Until now, China has not surrendered as expected by Western powers and Japanese politicians, but Japan is becoming more and more tired.

Ma Zheng believed that as long as he did a good job in this counter-sweep, the reputation of the Shandong Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would expand at the fastest speed in Luxi. At that time, both the Japanese puppet army and the remnants of the Kuomintang stranded in Shandong will look at this Shandong Independent Brigade with admiration, and the common people will regain confidence in the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, these small things that originally happened in Yanggu County were not enough to attract the attention of the commander of the Japanese Twelfth Army, Otaka Kamizo, and even Nishida Gengichi, the top adviser of the Japanese army in Shandong, was not alarmed. But now, due to some special reasons, the loss of arms caused the 12th Army to shake up and down. As for the reason, it is very simple, it is because there is a small box of special cigarettes in the lost military firepower this time.

Special smoke is poison gas bombs, and since the evidence of the last Japanese army's poison gas bombs was released by Ma Zheng's department, it has had a great negative impact on the Japanese government. Since then, the Japanese army has become extremely strict in controlling poison gas bombs.

If the troops want to use this kind of thing, they must apply for it in person by the commander of the unit, and then it can be issued to the troops with the authorization of a senior officer at the level of commander. The troops must be used up within the specified time, and they are absolutely not allowed to stay in the troops without permission, in case they are captured by the Chinese people.

This time, the batch of munitions lost by the Japanese army in Shifozhen was only 2,000 rifles and 230,000 rounds of ammunition, but there was a box of poison gas bombs that were time bombs compared to the senior officers of the Japanese army.

After the robbery of the Shifo munitions, although the news reached the ears of Otaka Kamizo, the angry Otaka Kamizo directly ordered Major General Segawa Shiro to recover the lost munitions at all costs, and at the worst to destroy the batch of special cigarettes.

In the opinion of Shiro Sekawa, the commander of the 10th Mixed Brigade, Abeichiro Shaozo did an extremely bad job in this matter. Although Apeiichiro was very much used by him and was one of the junior officers he tried his best to cultivate, the guilt of losing special ammunition was not something that he could afford as a small captain of the Shaozo Brigade. In the end, once the special cigarette falls into the hands of the Chinese government, the consequences are unimaginable, and even he may be bombarded into slag by the angry base camp.

In order to protect himself, Shiro Segawa can only sacrifice Ichiro Ampeki now. If the 41st Infantry Brigade and Abeichiro Shozo could recover all the lost munitions, then he could act as if nothing had happened. But if they mess up this matter, then Abeichiro's fate will only disappear silently.

When the time comes, Shiro Segawa can report to the headquarters of the 12th Army, and it will be said that in order to evade responsibility, Ichiro Ampeichiro deliberately concealed the news of the loss of the special bomb. He and the rest of the brigade headquarters didn't know about it, in fact, the headquarters of the 12th Army only needed an excuse, and when the time came, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo might not really punish him, the brigade commander of the major general.

However, Major General Shiro Segawa is also extremely confident in his heart. With almost all the Chinese troops in Shandong withdrawing from Shandong, the forces that could hold back the two elite infantry brigades had disappeared in Shandong. He believed that as long as Apeiichiro Shaozo could find those bold Shina people in the first place, the two elite infantry brigades under his command would be able to trample them to pieces without mercy.

Now Major General Segawa Shiro is not worried that the resistance will cause harm to Abeichiro and others, but is worried that after robbing so many arms, the hateful Shina people will hide like moles. If they really don't have the spirit of bushido and hide in the mountains or in the countryside, then it will be a big problem.

Major General Segawa Shiro knew that no matter how many puppet soldiers and traitors coordinated to find them, it would be useless, just like those dirt eight roads, once they hid, the chances of the Imperial Army trying to find them were slim. Just as the imperial army has no problem with big cities like Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan since it entered China. But if you deal with these dirt roads who are good at digging ravines or bandits who are good at mountain warfare, it will be far behind.

However, contrary to Segawa Shiro's expectations, Abeichiro Shaozo is not a fool, and knows what his own fate will be if he can't find a suitable scapegoat. So he was very clever in finding an "imaginary enemy", and now it seems that Apei Ichiro is still very clever in this move. In this way, the enemy has it, and it is good that the batch of munitions can be found, but if it can't be found, it is said that the soldiers of Shifo Town were martyred before the jade shattered, and it can barely be said.

So the Huyan family and the bandits on Jingyanggang became the scapegoats that **** Shaozuo wanted to eliminate, relying on the strength of two brigades behind him, **** Shaozuo did not scruple to dominate the Huyan family in Luxi for more than ten years.

In his opinion, isn't it just a martial arts family, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, can they compete with the guns and bullets of the imperial army? Under the blows of the Iron Army of the Great Japanese Empire, this Shina family did not collapse like their rotten government, and then disappeared.

When the time comes, he **** Ichiro will be able to take the head of the Huyan family and go to His Excellency Segawa to hand over the business. As for the group of bandits on Jingyang Gang, they were just beating rabbits with grass, and eliminating them was just to avenge Ma Ming's old thing, and also to deter other bandits in Luxi.

Although Ma Ming is not a thing, this old guy has an advantage that others can't compare, that is, this old thing is obedient, his annual filial piety is sufficient, and there are other offerings during the holidays. He has only been in Yanggu County for four months, but the gold and silver treasures provided to him on this old thing alone are enough for the family's wife and mother to live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives.

But it was such a "good" person who was wiped out by the hateful bandits, which is undoubtedly an excellent tool for Apeiichiro Shaozo to collect money. It was even more of a provocation to the Imperial Japanese Army, which might set a bad example for other Chinese bandits.

If it weren't for the constant troubles he had during this time, he would have sorted out his troops and carried out sweeping operations against the mass graves where the earth rats were active. This time, with the cooperation of the Iijima Brigade, it happened that even these moles were killed together to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Ma Zheng knew about the poison gas bombs contained in that batch of munitions, and Ma Zheng discovered as soon as Xu Haifeng and others brought back the munitions that day, how conspicuous the huge black skull mark was, how could Ma Zheng not see it. It's just that he didn't care at the time, a small box of poison gas bombs was nothing to the Japanese army!

When he was in the Suicha area, he fought with the Japanese army countless times, and the Japanese army also used poison gas bombs countless times, so it was normal to capture a few poison gas bombs. I never imagined that the Japanese army would make a big fight for this box of gas bombs, and if he knew, Ma Zheng might have someone destroy the box of gas bombs on the spot. (To be continued.) )
