Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

In Taiyuan, the night was as dark as ink. The sounds of explosions from the direction of the Japanese army camp resounded throughout this historic city.

Shinozuka Yoshio, the current commander of the First Army, was sitting in his office with a frown on his face. His expression was terribly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm, so depressing that it made people breathless.

"Report!" Chief of Staff Miyano rushed in, interrupting Shinozuka Yoshio's contemplation. He looked up and saw that Chief of Staff Miyano's face was full of panic.

"Miyano-kun, what happened? Why was there an explosion in the direction of the military camp?" Yoshio Shinozuka's voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

"An explosion occurred in the Taiyuan military camp, and the entire Jinye Battalion was destroyed!" Miyano's report was brief and powerful, and every word was like a hammer hitting Yoshio Shinozuka's heart.

"What?!" Shinozuka Yoshio stood up suddenly, with a flash of surprise and anger in his eyes. He walked quickly to the map and searched the map of Taiyuan City. The location of the military camp was clearly marked on it, but at this moment it seemed like a sea of ​​fire, burning in his heart.

"Who did it?" Shinozuka Yoshio roared, his voice echoing in the tent. His heart was filled with anger and confusion.

"The person who was brought back to the city was an enemy impersonator. The enemy had tied a bomb to the stretcher."

Chief of Staff Miyano tried his best to omit some of the information. He knew that at this moment Yoshio Shinozuka was like an angry lion, and any words might trigger greater anger.

Shinozuka Yoshio paced back and forth in his office, his thoughts in a tangle of confusion. First, the Taiyuan Airport was attacked, then the pursuit troops were almost wiped out, and then the Taiyuan military camp exploded again, not only causing huge losses, but more importantly, it was a huge blow to his political career.

Outside the window, the cold wind howled, making the window frames creak. Shinozuka Yoshio's heart was like a leaf in the cold wind, swaying unsteadily.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. He knew that the most important thing now was to find out the truth and find out who was behind it. Only in this way could he recover some of his losses and at least avoid being sent to a military court.

"Miyano-kun, please pass the order to strengthen the alert in Taiyuan City." Although Shinozuka Yoshio's voice has regained its composure, it still reveals a hint of loneliness and helplessness. "I will go to Commander Tada Shun to apologize."

In a quiet courtyard in Taiyuan, Shinozuka Yoshio knelt on a futon with a solemn look on his face. His eyes were fixed on Tada Shun in front of him, who was wearing a brocade robe.

"Commander, please give me another chance." Yoshio Shinozuka's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

Tada Shun raised his head slightly, and his sharp eyes swept across Shinozuka Yoshio's face. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Finally, he slowly spoke: "Shinozuka-kun, do you know how much damage we caused to the empire tonight? You know how little attention the North China Expeditionary Force has received from the headquarters, why did they make such a big mistake?"

Shinozuka Yoshio lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and his voice trembled: "I know that I have made an unforgivable mistake. But I hope that the commander can give me some time to investigate this matter."

Tada Shun sighed softly, as if considering Shinozuka Yoshio's request. He knew that Shinozuka Yoshio was a capable person, and he didn't want to give up his capable man, but in this case, he could only try to delay Shinozuka Yoshio's recall to the headquarters.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Tada Shun finally spoke, his voice revealing a hint of determination, "But you must remember that you only have one month at most. If you cause such a big loss again within this month, I'm afraid not only will you be court-martialed, I will also send you to the reserve force."

When Shinozuka Yoshio heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He bowed deeply and said excitedly: "Thank you, Commander! I will never let you down!"

Tada Shun nodded and waved his hand to signal Shinozuka Yoshio to leave. Shinozuka Yoshio stood up and respectfully left the courtyard.

The cold wind blew on Shinozuka Yoshio. He stood outside the courtyard, took off his cotton coat, and tried to calm himself down. He knew that this opportunity was hard-won, and he had to go all out to save his political career. Although he was in the reserve, there was always a chance to be reinstated.

The next morning, Yoshio Shinozuka got up early and carefully studied the intelligence his troops had just collected. When he saw the weapons that were very different from those of the ordinary Dragon Army, he suddenly realized and stared at the map hanging in the office - Xiyang County International Youth Column.

Chief of Staff Miyano hurried into the office with a serious look on his face: "Commander, I just received news that our army has observed more than a dozen planes taking off from Xiyang and heading towards Taiyuan."

Shinozuka Yoshio showed a hint of relief in his eyes, and turned to Chief of Staff Miyano and said, "Miyano-kun, do you remember that the senior agent of the Mei Agency sent a message saying that the Eighth Route Army's hometown of northern Shaanxi asked the International Youth Column to go to old northern Shaanxi to study."

When Miyano heard this, he asked in confusion: "Commander, is their target northern Shaanxi?"

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Miyano and asked, "How many planes can be launched?"

Chief of Staff Miyano replied: "There are still seven planes that can take off, but our reserve fuel has exploded. The remaining fuel in the planes is only enough for takeoff. If the battle lasts too long, the planes will not be able to land."

Shinozuka Yoshio took a deep breath and said, "Miyano-kun, order all the remaining planes to take off and try to shoot down the planes in the direction of Xiyang. All air defense forces are ready to fight."

"Yes."

Xiyang County Airport

Xiao Zongmin took Wang Laoguan, Principal Hu, Huang Zherang and others who were going to study in northern Shaanxi on a DC3 transport plane. Looking at the group of fighter jets preparing to take off at Xiyang County Airport, Xiao Zongmin nodded with satisfaction.

The players boarded the plane one after another. Xiao Zongmin spotted Haoqi with his sharp eyes, and pulled him aside and said with a smile: "As the Air Force Commander, why are you on our transport plane instead of commanding the fighter plane?"

Haoqi said awkwardly: "Reporting to the commander, for this escort mission, we only have a dozen air force pilots who meet the requirements of the Air Force Department, and the remaining air force pilots are all drawn from the combined forces brigade."

After listening to this, Xiao Zongmin shook his head and said, "Knowing shame will lead to courage? You air force still need to practice more. How about this, after your escort mission is over, I will ask the air force department to give you more training."

Hearing this, Haoqi became a little excited. The air force required too much training time. Ever since Wang Zizhai arrived with the first wave of meritorious service, they had started training in the air force. In just one week, there were too few qualified pilots.

"Commander, I heard that the army bombed Taiyuan Airport last night. This time, our Air Force Officers Corps has more than a dozen planes as the vanguard to attract the escaped fish at Taiyuan Airport. We must make sure that not a single Japanese plane can take off."

"You guys."
