Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After a long time, Sugiyama Gen's face became a little gloomy.

Then he turned and looked at Yamashita Tomoyuki with a murderous look on his face.

"What else did Harumi Jun say!"

Yamashita Tomoyuki looked at the commander's expression and suddenly didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

Seeing Yamashita Tomoyuki's hesitant look, Sugiyama Gen understood that worse news was waiting for him.

"Speak!" Sugiyama Gen said loudly immediately.

Afterwards, Yamashita Tomoyuki told Sugiyama Gen that the Mongolian-based corps was preparing to withdraw the locust army from the autumn sweep against Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei.

What Yamashita Tomoyuki did not expect was that Sugiyama Gen looked calm when he heard the news.

Then he waved his hand and asked everyone in the headquarters to leave.

After everyone evacuated the entire headquarters, Sugiyama Gen looked at the empty house. No one knew what Sugiyama Gen was thinking at this moment.

Then, Sugiyama Gen revealed a hint of a sneer.

Do you really think that he, the commander, is a soft persimmon?

How could Sugiyama Gen not know that the entire North China Front Army was now undercurrents. Harumi Jun, Itagaki Seishirō, and Doihara Kenji, these three were now secretly instigating and preparing to get rid of him, the commander of the North China Front Army.

And on the other side.

At the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters, when Division Commander Xu and his companions received the documents and a body in a general's uniform that was so unrecognizable that it was difficult to distinguish the human figure from those sent by Commander He of the 719th Regiment, they were a little surprised.

Although the person who came to report said that this was most likely the body of Tsuneoka Kanji, commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade located in Zhangjiakou, the entire military district headquarters was in an uproar for a while.

The 719th Regiment killed a major general!

You should know that the only general officer killed by the Eighth Route Army so far is the troops of Commander Zeng Jiwen in southeastern Shanxi. When they ambushed the 108th Division last year, they wiped out the entire division of the Japanese devils.

But there are only three generals.

Now, during the Japanese army's autumn sweep, their military district was able to kill a Japanese major general.

So, Political Commissar Rong immediately asked the translator of the Enemy Work Department to translate the documents in the seized documents newspaper.

As the translator from the Enemy Work Department began to translate the documents, the moods of several people fluctuated along with the expressions on the translator's faces.

After more than ten minutes, the translator handed the translated document to Commander Xu with an excited look on his face.

Then he said to a few people happily.

"Commander, Political Commissar, confirmed, it's that old devil, Tsuneoka Kanji!"

"According to the information, he was originally going to Lingqiu to command the 12th Regiment of the 26th Division, intending to make a killing of our main force in Laiyuan. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Captain He and his men on the way!"

After hearing the translation, Commander Xu read it and passed it to others.

As several people passed it around, huge cheers erupted in the entire command center.

The person ambushed at Shimenyu on July 19th was none other than the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, Kanji Tsuneoka, who was accompanied by two infantry companies and one artillery company of the 1st Battalion, as well as a part of the puppet army.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from discovering that he was traveling with a large battalion of troops and being detected by the Eighth Route Army, Tsuneoka Kanji took a part of the Japanese and puppet troops to Lingqiu first.

However, they did not expect that this part of the Japanese troops would be ambushed and eliminated by the 719th Regiment active in the Guangling area.

For a moment, everyone in the command center was immersed in this huge news, and their excitement was beyond words.

Even Commander Xu, who had been frowning for many days, rarely showed a happy expression.

Commander Xu walked around the command center, then suddenly walked to the battle map on the table, looked at the position to the south, and suddenly said.
