Chapter 60 Exposed Radio Signal

While Huang He and Li Yunlong were drinking and eating meat, an uninvited guest came to the First Army Headquarters far away in TaiY.

Because of Shinozuka Yoshio's failure and incompetence in hunting down the spy company, Tada Shun, the then commander of the North China Front Army, was very dissatisfied.

Their actions in Shanxi were exposed to the international community by the Eighth Route Army in newspapers, including the secret human experiments that were also made public.

This put a lot of public pressure on the country, and Tada Shun had to send his deputy chief of staff, Hirata Masaharu, to personally end the matter.

Hirata Masaharu, who received the order, flew to TaiY as soon as possible. Although it was already evening when he arrived, the first thing he did after getting off the plane was to send someone to arrange a meeting with the First Army's staff.

As a senior army official, Shinozuka Yoshio's emotional intelligence is naturally beyond reproach, although Hirata Masaharu's rank is only major general, which is lower than his status.

But this old devil knew that he was in the wrong, and he did a perfect job in etiquette and did not give the other party a chance to criticize him.

Although they were both generals of the North China Front Army, they held different positions and had few opportunities to meet each other.

Before Hirata Masaharu came to Taiy, Shinozuka Yoshio specifically asked his old classmate about his preferences. Now, not only did he prepare the other party's favorite Japanese-style private room, but even the layout of the house was exactly the same as the other party's in Beij.

Moreover, he was wearing casual clothes and had prepared tea and cakes. I believe that the other party would not take it too seriously when seeing such a formation.

As expected by the old devil Shinozuka Yoshio, Hirata Masaharu knew that the other party had intentions when he saw the layout of the scene. As a lieutenant general, he put his attitude so low. If he didn't give face, he would be too unemotional.

The Japanese army is not only about fighting and killing. Human relations are very important. He can't do it.

After the two sat down, the deceased who had been prepared on the side began to serve tea and drip water. But no one spoke in the Japanese private room. The atmosphere in the room was depressing. The two people were pulling silently.

In the end, it was Shinozuka Yoshio who took the initiative to speak. He felt that he had achieved his goal by using both soft and hard tactics, and the next step was to solve the problem.

Facing the serious-looking Hirata Masahiro, Shinozuka Yoshio took out the things he had prepared long ago. Even he had to pay some price to get the information about the Eighth Route Army.

"Hirata-kun, the commander has told me the purpose of your visit. Please rest assured that the entire First Army will cooperate with your work."

"These are the materials I prepared. Before you came, I mobilized the intelligence department to collect as much detailed information about the enemy as possible."

Seeing that the other party was so sensible and did not trip him up, Hirata Masahiro's face was much better. He took the information handed over by Shinozuka Yoshio, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he put it on the table and chatted about family matters.

The two old devils chatted tacitly for a while, and the fake greetings brought them closer. Hirata Masahiro took out his pocket watch and looked at it. When he found that it was getting late, he got to the point.

"Shinozuka-kun, as an excellent army officer, your way of handling this matter is a little inappropriate."

"Although the commander sent me here to handle this matter, this is your territory after all. If you can make up for the consequences of this matter, it will surely be beneficial to both of us."

Although he knew that the other party did not want to take responsibility, for Shinozuka Yoshio, who had the idea of ​​​​revenge, he was happy to see the other party being a hands-off boss.

"Hirata-kun, the small force of the Eighth Route Army is the elite among the elite. Judging from the shells left by the enemy, these people's weapons are even rare submachine guns. You have to know that these beggars don't even have rifles."

Then he signaled Hirata Masaharu to open the information he prepared, and the first page of the information was Zheng Yingqi's information.

"He is the leader of the enemy we are chasing. This intelligence is provided by our "ally", so there is no problem with its accuracy."

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes "return the favor in the same way". Since the enemy dares to use a small force to infiltrate our hinterland and sabotage, we must fight back in the same way."

He clapped his hands when he said this, and Yamamoto Ikki, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, pushed the door open immediately after receiving the signal. Shinozuka Yoshio doted on this subordinate very much, and he would let his favorite general show his face every time he had the chance.

He introduced to Hirata Masaharu:

"This is Colonel Yamamoto Ikki, who studied abroad at the Munich Special Military Academy in Sandeko. He is a special operations expert of our First Army, with extraordinary courage and accurate judgment."

"Among the new generation of generals in my country, I am very optimistic about his future."

"He has more than 80 agents under him, all of whom are elites trained by the Munich Special Military Academy."

Waiting for his boss to finish introducing himself, Yamamoto Ikki immediately stepped forward to greet Hirata Masaharu. After receiving a look from Shinozuka Yoshio, he expressed his opinion.

"Major General, after discussing with my team members, we believe that the enemy's small forces have already had the prototype of special operations."

"Even if it is a prototype, it is not something that ordinary warriors from the country can handle."

He paused and glanced at his superior. Shinozuka Yoshio understood immediately and continued to add:

"The country has made some progress in radio technology recently. We have detected a signal from a high-power radio station in the northwest of Shanxi Province. Based on our understanding of the Eighth Route Army, there is a high probability that it is their headquarters."

"This time we will take the initiative to attack, and Yamamoto's special forces are fully capable of destroying their headquarters."

"At that time, it will not only prove that the First Army is innocent of war, but also wash away our shame with the enemy's leader, so that Hirata-kun can go back and report."

Looking at the two people singing the same tune opposite him, Hirata Masaharu took a sip of the tea on the table. He thought for a long time and finally agreed with Shinozuka Yoshio's decision.

In this matter, there is a lot of room for maneuver. Once this Yamamoto Ikki succeeds, he can get a share of the pie, and he will be indispensable for the credit.

Even if the so-called special operation fails, he can get rid of the relationship, and then he can bite back and beat the dog when it is down.

And even if Tada Shun blames it, it doesn't matter. Hirata Masaharu has his own backers, and he has long wanted to transfer to be the commander of the division.

"Then I'll leave it to you, but you two have to provide a detailed combat report so that I can report to the commander."

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Hirata Masaharu with some contempt, and the other party's little thoughts could not escape his eyes. It was because of these speculators that the control of the younger country in North China was once weakened a lot.

Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe!
