Taiyuan, Shanxi, the first Japanese Army headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka was expressionless.

In order to continue to stay in the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka took great risks to mobilize the units of the First Army and launched a large-scale mobilization of the Eighth Route Army base. Yoshio Shinozuka did not want to leave, so he could only find ways to make some contributions. Only in this way can he have the possibility of continuing to stay.

But now, the failure of the Eighth Route Army base has made Yoshio Shinozuka know that he only has one choice, that is, to leave the First Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were a little hollow. He had been fighting with the Eighth Route Army for so long in Shanxi, and he knew the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, but before this sweeping began, he still had some hope and felt that the sweeping would have some effect. But the result of the sweeping made Yoshio Shinozuka understand that he was thinking too much. The complex environment in Shanxi allowed the Eighth Route Army troops to hide well.

Once the Eighth Route Army troops choose to avoid war, even if Yoshio Shinozuka mobilizes too many troops, it will not have any effect.

What's more, the complex environment in Shanxi made Yoshio Shinozuka dare not mobilize the power of the entire First Army. In Shanxi, there is not only the Eighth Route Army, but also Yan Xishan. If there is a problem with the power of the First Army in the occupied area, Yan Xishan will definitely take action.

Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to take Yan Xishan lightly. He knew that Yan Xishan was an old fox, and as long as he could get benefits, he could be seen everywhere.

Although the Jinsui Army under Yan Xishan's command did not make any moves during this period, if they really found an opportunity to get benefits, the Jinsui Army would definitely make some moves. The reason why the Eighth Route Army's base has been failed because Yoshio Shinozuka was afraid of the Jinsui Army, and he needed to leave enough troops to deal with it.

"Commander, telegram from the North China Front Command." A Japanese came to the headquarters and shouted loudly.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the Japanese soldier. He could see the soldier lowering his head, and his face seemed a little scared. He immediately understood that this telegram from the North China Front Command would not be good news. But he understood that this, Yoshio Shinozuka still received the telegram. Unless he wanted to defect, he had to read the telegram.

Yoshio Shinozuka is a pure imperialist and a firm supporter of the emperor. When he graduated from the Japanese Army University, he also received the emperor's imperial sword. In any case, Yoshio Shinozuka would not defect. Due to the situation of the Japanese troops, even if Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to defect, he would not be able to leave Taiyuan at all.

"The North China Front Command ordered Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, to go to the North China Front Command to discuss his post within a week!"

The information on the telegram was very simple. Yoshio Shinozuka put down the telegram and looked at the imperial sword placed on the table. This was once the thing that made him most proud. But now, Yoshio Shinozuka no longer had any pride. He failed to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army bases several times, but instead made the Eighth Route Army troops continue to grow and grow in the occupied areas.

Yoshio Shinozuka knew that he was a sinner, and the imperial sword in his hands was completely a kind of defilement. At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to commit suicide directly to repay the emperor, but in the end, he gave up this year. He didn't want to die, and he wanted to wait until the day when the Japanese Empire established China.

Picking up the imperial sword placed on the table, Yoshio Shinozuka tidied up his clothes and walked out of the headquarters quickly. Outside the headquarters, the military vehicles were ready. When ordering the troops to finish the sweep, Yoshio Shinozuka packed up everything and prepared to be summoned by the North China Front Command.

"Let's go."

Under the order of Yoshio Shinozuka, the military vehicle slowly started and headed towards Taiyuan Railway Station.

At the same time, intelligence personnel from all sides in Taiyuan City discovered that Yoshio Shinozuka was heading to the train station. During their secret observation, Yoshio Shinozuka could be seen taking the train directly at Taiyuan Railway Station and leaving Taiyuan. Judging from the direction of the train, Yoshio Shinozuka should be heading to the Japanese North China Front Command.

Soon, intelligence personnel from all parties transmitted the information in this regard. As the commander of the Japanese First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio was in charge of the Japanese war in Shanxi. So, Shinozuka Yoshio's departure directly alarmed the intelligence personnel from all parties. After the relevant information was transmitted back to all parties, a large amount of analysis would be carried out.

In just a short time, the news about Yoshio Shinozuka leaving Taiyuan, Shanxi was well known.

In the Chongqing direction, in Yan'an, Shaanxi, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Second War Zone Command, etc., all conducted a lot of analysis on Yoshio Shinozuka's departure. After the analysis, all parties roughly guessed that Yoshio Shinozuka would be punished if he went to the Japanese North China Front Command to discuss his post this time.

However, it is still impossible to determine what kind of punishment Shinozuka Yoshio will be punished.

In the Temple Mountain, Liu Gen, who contacted the Master's Department, also learned from the division commander that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army, left Taiyuan, Shanxi, and even learned about the relevant analysis of Yoshio Shinozuka's departure from Taiyuan, Shanxi.

But unlike the headquarters, Liu Gen had more ideas about Yoshio Shinozuka's trip to the North China Front Army headquarters. Even if Yoshio Shinozuka was a lieutenant general, he would definitely be punished.

The discomfort in the battle with the National Army on the front and the expansion of the anti-Japanese base in the Japanese occupied areas made the Japanese focus on the anti-Japanese base. In other words, the Japanese had more fear of the Eighth Route Army troops. They needed a First Army commander who could control the development of the Eighth Route Army troops and prevent the expansion of the Anti-Japanese base areas from becoming another expansion in Shanxi.

The failure of Yoshio Shinozuka's several encirclements undoubtedly proves that he is not the most suitable candidate. If you want to truly settle down in Shanxi, it is impossible for Yoshio Shinozuka to continue to stay.

Liu Gen did not hide his thoughts. He directly told the teacher what he thought of. Even if the teacher didn't believe it, it could still play a role.

In fact, after listening to Liu Gen's analysis, the division commander realized that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese, was transferred, which was very likely to happen. Liu Gen is good, but compared with the division commander, he is still a little worse. Unlike Liu Gen, the division commander knew more about the changes in the Japanese trends and more clearly knew the importance of the Japanese to fight against the Japanese base.

After the division commander discussed with the division headquarters, the division headquarters found that Liu Gen was right and agreed with Liu Gen's statement. So Liu Gen's inference was sent to the headquarters bosses. The bosses who originally thought that Yoshio Shinozuka would only be punished also realized that what Liu Gen said was very likely to happen.

In order to make sufficient preparations, the bosses directly analyzed who would take over the Japanese after Yoshio Shinozuka left the First Army.

Under the analysis of the bosses, they soon guessed that several Japanese soldiers who might take over the position of commander of the First Army. For this reason, the bosses ordered relevant intelligence personnel to collect relevant information from these Japanese soldiers as much as possible. Only in this way can they be sufficiently prepared to deal with the commander of the First Army of the Japanese.

Of course, even if they realize that there will be a new Japanese to replace Yoshio Shinozuka, the bosses are not nervous at all. They have experienced too many battles, and even if a new Japanese commander arrives, there will be no big problems. With the situation of various units of the First Japanese Army, even if there are a new Japanese to replace Yoshio Shinozuka, it is impossible to launch a large-scale mobilization of the Japanese base in a short period of time.

That is to say, the Eighth Route Army units in Shanxi should have two or three months to recuperate. Each unit needs to recruit more soldiers and increase the training of the soldiers to ensure the response to the Japanese troops' raids against the Japanese base.

In the temporary garrison of Sidingshan, Liu Gen has been taking the students to train and study related artillery theories. During the training and learning, Liu Gen was able to find that the students have made great progress. Even if some theories have not been understood thoroughly, as long as a large amount of artillery training is carried out, it will definitely be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In Liu Gen's view, in two months, the students will be able to leave the artillery school and become students who graduated from the first phase of the artillery school.

Compared with other artillery schools, Liu Gen may have been training students too short, but Liu Gen feels that the students can learn not much in artillery schools. Even if they continue to stay in artillery schools, it will be much more difficult to make progress. Real artillery soldiers are trained in combat. Only by constantly fighting can the students discover their problems and correct them.

Besides, with the actual situation of the Eighth Route Army, the students did not have enough time to receive relevant training.

While Liu Gen was constantly taking the students for training, Yoshio Shinozuka also took a train to the Japanese Army Headquarters in North China. The military vehicle stopped in front of the headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka sat in the military vehicle for a long time before walking out of the military vehicle.

In the past, when Yoshio Shinozuka came to the North China Front Army Headquarters, officers would come to greet him. However, this time, Yoshio Shinozuka could not see any officers coming to greet him. He could clearly see soldiers waiting around the military vehicle. Yoshio Shinozuka carefully sorted out his military uniform before walking towards the headquarters.

There were soldiers leading the way in front of him, and there were soldiers who were carefully protecting him behind Yoshio Shinozuka, as if they were worried about something wrong with Yoshio Shinozuka.
