"How's the tour going?"

Chi Yang, Yoshio Shinozuka rubbed his head in severe pain and asked.

I don't know why, after receiving the news of the attack on the observation group, his head hurt violently, as if there was a needle prick in the skull, and the painkillers did not work.

Could it be that Li Yunlong did this again?

He subconsciously guessed.

In the past, he would only have a headache when he heard Li Yunlong's news, and he would definitely not have a headache at other times, and he didn't find the slightest problem when he went to the hospital for examination.

After hesitating for a while, the staff officer who came to report said:

"The multi-island brigade of the 33rd Wing has arrived at the area where the observation group is located."

"Captain Tajima reported that the one hundred and twenty-three imperial officers of the observation group, including Hattori Naoto, and the two brigades that were garrisoned were all in pieces."

Hearing the news of the annihilation of the observation group, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly saw a black in front of him, his throat was hot, his body shook, and he almost fainted, but fortunately, this old devil was in good shape and carried it over.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General?"

The staff officer said in a cautious tone: "Are you alright?" ”

"Tell me about the specifics."

Yoshio Shinozuka took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Also, is there any news about who did it?" ”

The devil staff officer continued:

"It's not clear."

"But ······"

Speaking of this, the devil staff officer paused and lowered his tone: "Judging from the traces at the scene, the attackers did not have many troops, about the size of a half-full formation, but this group of people had been in ambush for a long time on the hillside where the observation group was located, and dug a deep lurking position. ”

"Captain Tashima speculated that the ambushers suspected that they had learned about the observation group in advance."

"It seems that you learned the news of the observation group in advance?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes froze.

For a moment, it occurred to him many, many things that had happened recently.

These things all vaguely point to the fact that someone provided information about the imperial army, which led to such a big loss.

The staff officer looked at the lieutenant general who was lost in thought, paused and continued:

"Moreover, the ambusher has good artillery firepower and strong light weapons, comparable to a brigade in the Empire, although the enemy will collect the remaining shells, but still have some left."

"From the analysis of the shells and shrapnel of the shells, the ammunition they used is the batch of weapons and ammunition that we are investigating."

After the staff officer finished speaking, he straightened his legs and put away the folder in his hand.

Yoshio Shinozuka took a deep breath and said in a very calm tone:

"The batch of weapons and ammunition that the empire is investigating, so it seems that the attacker is the Eighth Route Army, right?"

So far, they have only seen the guerrillas in North China using weapons and ammunition of unknown origin, among which Li Yunlong's independent regiment is the mainstay, and even mainly concentrated in the independent regiment.

Even the front-line government army did not see it, although the government army also imported a large amount of ammunition. But there is a clear gap in quality between the two, which can be easily distinguished.

This is almost a sign that the attacker was the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, there is a high probability that it is Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

"Let's go down."

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand.

After the staff officer left, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map of North China behind him and fell into deep thought.

This is a serious matter.

The death of a brigade commander and 120 officers of the rank of adjutant was a heavy loss even for the North China Front, comparable to the loss of a full wing, and the impact was even greater if it was the guerrillas.

If you don't get it right, once the base camp is tracked down, he will be severely punished, after all, this matter is in the jurisdiction of the First Army, and his security mistakes are to be blamed.

Fortunately, this matter was single-handedly promoted by the chief of staff, General Miyano, and with General Miyano's influence, he will most likely only be scolded and will not be punished in substance.

However······

There are some things, it's time to look into them carefully.

Those documents seized at the beginning of the year.

Taiyuan Airport was attacked, how did Li Yunlong's troops evade the defensive alert system around Taiyuan, and the timing of the other party's move, just stuck at the time when the flight group was about to leave, is it too much of a coincidence?

and this observation group.

Who the hell is it?

In the silent headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were uncertain.

······

Jiao County.

Wang Xikui was planning to go down the mountain with Shunzi.

Their mission has been completed, the direction of the devil's convoy has been notified to the special agent company, and the next thing is to wait for the net to be closed. The two of them have no more tasks, and it stands to reason that they can go back to Yang Village directly.

However, the two decided to stay here for a while, after all, there was still a battle in Jiaoxian County next.

Maybe you might even get some soup!

When Junko packed up his things, he subconsciously glanced at the distance, and suddenly the whole person froze.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Xikui asked, looking at the same sluggishness.

They saw that the convoy, which had been heading east, suddenly made a big turn and then drove straight north.

"Devils of dog days."

Wang Xikui scolded: "It's so fucking cunning, you actually shook a shot." ”

"What should I do?"

Junko was a little flustered: "What should we do now?" ”

The news they told the spy company before was that the devil's convoy sounded, but they didn't expect the devil to go around in a circle and then the convoy headed north. This east and north are dozens of miles apart.

"Let's go." Wang Xikui immediately decided: "You ran faster than me, now set off immediately, run to catch up with the spy company, and tell them about the devil." ”

"Is it too late?"

Junko asked subconsciously.

He didn't have horses, and it took a long time to catch up with the spy company, and then the spy company had to turn around, and at that time the devils were afraid that they would all leave the preset ambush location. Not to mention the ambush, maybe the spy company won't be able to catch up with the devil's convoy.

"Gotta give it a try."

Wang Xikui gritted his teeth: "You go and inform, put the equipment here with me, you can run faster, I'll go to see where Regiment Commander Kong is, and see if they have any way." ”

"Okay."

Junko took a deep breath, put down the equipment in his hand, and ran frantically in the direction of the spy company with a step.

······

At this time, inside the devil's convoy.

The news of the attack on the observation group had not yet arrived, and there was only a noisy engine sound inside the armored vehicle.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff."

Suddenly, the intelligence that had been tangled in his face Osa gritted his teeth and threw out a topic: "I got some suspicious information. ”

"Say."

Miyano Michiichi's voice was indifferent.

"We found that the Taiyuan airport was attacked, the gold was robbed, and it seems that our insiders were involved." The Intelligence Division tried to maintain a calm tone as much as possible.

"Evidence."

Michimono's tone remained unchanged.

Intelligence Dazuo breathed a sigh of relief, and the unchanged tone meant that His Excellency the Chief of Staff had listened.

He continued:

"There are more than a ton of gold to be transported back to the mainland in Taiyuan, and there are many people who know the news, but there are less than 20 people who know the specific transportation route and time, and even the guards who escort the transportation will only inform the specific route and time on the last day."

"And the fact that the Eighth Route Army was able to ambush in advance shows that the other party has long known the route of gold transportation, and even the time of the convoy transportation is just right."

"Also, the timing of the shelling of the airport is also very strange."

"Judging from the positions left by the other side, the attackers arrived at the positions a day ahead of schedule and were ready to shell the positions, but they chose to shell the flying group five minutes before they were ready to leave, when the ground was full of gasoline barrels and bombs."

"Without the reminder of the insiders, it is impossible for the other side to know the exact time, in order to prevent the enemy from evading the bombing early when he learns the news, the departure time of the flight group is not fixed every day, and the specific time is drawn up by the General Staff every week."

"At the beginning of the year."

Miyano Michichi looked at the intelligence Dazuo:

"Yamamoto Osa of the First Army once reported an incident in which his special forces captured the enemy's left information during a pursuit battle, with detailed information on the Yangquan garrison."

"At that time, I suspected that there were high-level spies lurking in the Imperial Army's General Staff."

"Looks like it's time to look into the matter."

When the intelligence Dazuo heard this, he was completely relieved.

He was entrusted by General Shinozuka and Yamamoto Daisa to make General Miyano pay attention to this matter.

"I've already brought all the intelligence materials here, and I'll hand them over to you when I'm done."

Intelligence Dazuo struck while the iron was hot.

"Good."

Miyano Road nodded a little.

·····

Although the Shunzi of the birth hunter was fast, when he caught up with Zhang Dabiao, Zhang Dabiao was already rushing to the east road with the spy company, only a few kilometers away from the predetermined ambush position.

The weight of the mule increased the speed of the special service company's march.

"The devil convoy is heading west?"

Hearing the news of Shunzi, Zhang Dabiao frowned.

"Stop moving."

After ordering the troops to stop, Zhang Dabiao spread out the map and found the road to the west, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"It's too far."

Wang Gensheng on the side also frowned: "It will take at least an hour for us to rush over now, and at that time, the devil convoy must have passed the predetermined ambush location."

'This dog thing, it's really cunning. Wang Gensheng scolded and scolded.

Zhang Dabiao did not speak, but fell into silence.

About half a minute later, Zhang Dabiao took out a stack of materials, looked at the information about Miyano Michichi in it, and after looking at it for a while, he gritted his teeth and turned ruthless: "Let's go to Cangyunling on a super small road." ”

"Cangyunling?"

Wang Gensheng was stunned.

This place is very familiar to him, it was here that he killed Sakata in the first place, of course, this is not the point, this is a small thing, and what makes him remember it especially is because the first business was also here.

"What are you doing here?"

"The information on this says."

Zhang Dabiao pointed to a piece of information in his hand: "The Sakata Dazuo we killed at the beginning is the confidant and favorite general of Miyano Michiichi, an old devil, and the two have a close relationship, and the northbound highway leads to Cangyunling." ”

"The body of this old devil Sakata was taken away by us at that time, so I suspect that this Miyano Michichi went to Cangyunling to mourn his confidant and beloved general."

"It's definitely too late for us to go to the ambush point on the north road now, but it won't take an hour to get to Cangyunling."

"What if he doesn't go here?" Wang Gensheng asked.

"So we're plugging."

Zhang Dabiao put away the information in his hand: "Let's see how lucky we are." ”

"Okay."

Wang Gensheng exhaled.
