Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Although Saburo Shouqi looked down on Yoshio Shinozuka, who had successively killed more than 50,000 warriors of the empire.

However, it must be said that the battle plan proposed by Yoshio Shinozuka is indeed relatively safe.

As the newly appointed commander of the First Army, he must take some action after taking office.

As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office, and Shou Xi Saburo wants to make a show of his power in one go.

Let his colleagues and Commander-in-Chief Okamura Yasuji see that he, Hisashi Saburo, is an outstanding general of the empire.

However, he was not familiar with the situation in Shanxi Province. If he acted rashly and lost the battle, he would probably be dismissed before he could even get comfortable in his position.

Therefore, at this time, Yoshio Shinozuka's plan becomes very important.

As a leader, he only needed to adopt Yoshio Shinozuka's suggestions.

If they won, it was naturally because of his ability to select the right people, his quick response, and his good command, which was a great credit to him.

The loss was all due to Yoshio Shinozuka's bad advice. He had just arrived and the generals of the First Army disobeyed his orders, so Xiaoxiao had to take the blame.

In short, no matter whether he wins or loses, Shouzaiburo will make a lot of money.

"Yoshi! Since Shouqi-kun has this determination, and he has the same opinion as Shinozuka-kun!"

"I feel relieved to leave the First Army to you. I hope you can cooperate sincerely with Mr. Shinozuka and other generals of the First Army during your tenure!"

"I, the commander, also approve of Shinozuka-kun's plan!"

"Shouzai-kun, when you return, you and Shinozuka-kun must give me a detailed report!"

"We must make full preparations this time before taking action!"

"Destroy the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. It would be best if we could capture Lin Tian alive!"

"This commander wants to see what he is capable of!"

Neiji Okamura nodded with satisfaction and said seriously.

Although he was dissatisfied with Shouzai Saburo, after all, these were all generals of his North China Front Army.

Naturally, Okamura Yasuji hoped that his subordinates could be united, and their military achievements would be his achievements as the commander-in-chief.

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

Sushirazaburo and Shinozuka Yoshio nodded at the same time and then looked at each other.

"Okay, today's meeting ends here, everyone go back!"

Okamura Neiji waved his hand, said this, and left first.

"Ahahaha, congratulations, Shouqi-kun, congratulations!"

"Commander Shouqi, you must treat us. This is such a big happy event, and we colleagues must celebrate for you!"

After Okamura Neiji left, a group of Japanese leaders in the conference room stood up and came to Shouzai Saburo to congratulate him.

Only Yoshio Shinozuka was left alone at the last position.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much! Thank you colleagues!"

"I will definitely treat you all to a banquet at the best restaurant in Peking tonight!"

"When the time comes, please show your kindness!"

"When I become the commander of the First Army and show the might of our Locust Army, I will definitely invite you all to my celebration banquet!"

"Hahahaha!"

Shouzaiburo was very pleased with the compliment and laughed out loud with his neck tilted back.

The wrinkles on his face were almost squeezed into a flower. Today could be said to be the most glorious moment for Shouzaburo in more than 40 years.

He even saw himself annihilating the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in Shanxi Province and leading his troops into Qin Province.

Tian Huang personally awarded him the Imperial Medal of Glory, and he also had a few more stars on his shoulders.

He wants to reach the pinnacle of life step by step, and the commander of the First Army is his starting point.

Yoshio Shinozuka really couldn't stand the smug look of Sushirazaburo.

He simply took advantage of the fact that other people's attention was not on him, snorted coldly, and walked towards the back door.

Yoshio Shinozuka did not expect that the empire's generals were a bunch of opportunists.

When he was the commander of the First Army, every time he came here for a meeting, everyone would chat and laugh with him and be very close to him.

Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after he left office, these former colleagues stopped paying attention to him.

The world is so fickle!

Let’s look at Shouqi Saburo. He used to be someone else’s deputy. In meetings of this level, he always sat at the last seat. When the commanders of various troops met before the meeting, Shouqi Saburo was always complimenting others with a fawning look on his face.

In particular, this guy always called me "Commander Shinozuka" whenever he saw me, nodding and bowing.

At that time, Yoshio Shinozuka was a big shot in the North China Front Army, and the First Army's material supply was the best in the North China Front Army. Everyone would come to curry favor with him.

Among those who were present at the time, some came to me to establish connections and wanted to be transferred to the First Army.

"Hey, Shinozuka-kun, where are you going?"

"Don't you want to congratulate the commander?"

"You must come to the banquet tonight!"

Just as Yoshio Shinozuka was walking out, the malicious voice of Saburo Sushiro was heard behind him.

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed inwardly, what he feared was bound to come true.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned pale. Isn't this humiliating him in public?

Although he has lost his power now, he was once glorious. Are these people so eager to step on him?

The others also looked at Yoshio Shinozuka with a smile, the man who had once dominated them.

We are all the leaders of an army and have the same military rank. Why do you get to take advantage of others while the others are just bastards?

In the past, he was in the limelight and they couldn't afford to offend him. Now that Yoshio Shinozuka has lost his position, they finally got the chance. If they don't step on him, they will feel uncomfortable.

Shinozuka Yoshio turned around and forced a smile on his livid face: "Hahaha, Commander, a defeated man has no face to attend such a banquet. I'd better draft a battle plan and give it to you for your review."

"Oh? I didn't expect that Shinozuka-kun is still so diligent. Well, since you don't want to participate, this commander will not force you."

"After all, all the people attending the banquet are generals with military merits. Mr. Shinozuka should go write a report, hahahaha."

Sushirazaburo looked at Yoshio Shinozuka who was standing at the door and chuckled.

When the others heard this, they also laughed.

Shouqi Saburo understood that he couldn't embarrass Shinozuka too much. Today he was just venting his anger, there would be a long way to go.

Yoshio Shinozuka is under his command, and he has ten thousand ways to make things difficult for Shinozuka.

"Commander, I'm leaving now!"

Yoshio Shinozuka bowed to Sushirazaburo reluctantly with his body stiff.

The moment he lowered his head, Shinozuka's eyes became extremely sinister. What happened today was the most humiliating experience in his life.

In the future, he will definitely pay it back a hundredfold!

And the culprit behind all this is Lin Tian!

He must take revenge severely this time!
