Age of Conquest Reborn

The words are shocking. Major General Yamaguchi, the head of the Kwantung Army's secret service, is neither a general nor a front-line commander. In addition, the headquarters of the secret service is in Harbin. How does he know the current war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula? Knowing the dilemma he faces,

And the problems that need to be solved urgently?

A series of question marks formed in the mind of General Umezu Yoshijiro, "Could it be that this guy Yamaguchi has planted people around him? Someone from the secret service is monitoring him!" This can only be the reason, otherwise, Yamaguchi, who is far away in Harbin,

Not knowing the situation of the war in the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Kwantung Army headquarters not having the practice of reporting battlefield conditions to the secret service, an uncontrollable anger suddenly rose in his heart.

General Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly leaned forward, like a hawk catching prey, looked at the past with a sinister gaze, and said in a tone so cold that it almost froze: "Captain Yamaguchi, I am very surprised that your secret service agency

, how did you learn about the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula? I need a reasonable explanation!"

Major General Yamaguchi was really taken aback by General Umezu's tone and expression, "Didn't I just tell you the situation that the Imperial Army is currently facing on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula? Why did General Umezu react so fiercely? With a cannibal.

Like a hungry wolf?"

Immediately, the cunning Major General Yamaguchi suddenly understood that the Commander-in-Chief was suspicious of what he had just said and suspected that he had planted ears and eyes around him. This was not a good thing. He hurriedly explained: "General

Commander, the staff did not know the situation faced by the imperial army until they arrived in Liaoyang. The staff came to Liaoyang this time to solve this problem for the commander-in-chief!"

After listening to Major General Yamaguchi's explanation, General Umezu Yoshijiro's anger dissipated a lot. He also knew that Yamaguchi was not so bold as to put eyes and ears around him. If there was such a thing, once it was verified, no one would

Save

But General Umezu didn't believe that a guy who was engaged in espionage could have any unique military insights, so he became more and more impatient and said: "I really hate my subordinates wasting my precious time, say!

Make it simpler!”

Originally, Major General Yamaguchi wanted to show off a bit in order to improve the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief, who did not have a good impression of the secret service. However, now is not the time to show off. Judging from General Umezu's posture, it seems that he will do it soon.

I mean to drive myself out!

Major General Yamaguchi said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our secret service agency's secret research institute in Harbin successfully developed a new type of poison gas bomb a few days ago. This poison gas bomb is very toxic and relies on wind power to spread.

Anyone who smells it will immediately lose consciousness for more than eight hours. After waking up, there will be no obvious sequelae. After many tests by imperial scientific researchers on Manchurian civilians, the stability of its effect has been confirmed!"

"This new type of poison gas bomb, now named the No. 1 Special Warfare Combat Bomb, can be dropped by aircraft or fired from artillery. The effect of the poison gas bomb is stable and long-lasting. In view of the fact that the Imperial Army is currently in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the independent division troops

We have reached a stalemate, and Commander-in-Chief has been worrying about this matter day and night. Therefore, the Ministry of Staff recommends to Commander-in-Chief that you use the No. 1 special operations bomb to launch a surprise attack on the Chinese army, which will definitely be effective!"

General Umezu Yoshijiro's eyes were burning with flickering flames, and he stared at Major General Yamaguchi like a hawk, and asked word for word: "Captain Yamaguchi, do you dare to guarantee the honor of the Imperial Guard and your own life?"

Is the use of this poison gas bomb effective?"

Major General Yamaguchi stood at attention and said passionately: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Yamaguchi is willing to guarantee the effectiveness of the No. 1 special warfare bomb with the honor of the emperor and his own life, otherwise, he will commit suicide by caesarean section as apology!"

"

After saying that, Major General Yamaguchi looked at General Umezu expectantly. He had already prepared a lot of reasons to persuade the Commander-in-Chief to use this poison gas bomb. He knew that General Umezu regarded himself as a pure imperialist and believed in being on the battlefield.

He wanted to defeat the enemy head-on to demonstrate the illustrious martial arts of the Imperial Japanese Army. He was worried that General Umezu would reject his suggestion. It would not be easy to convince such a stubborn boss who would not change his approach easily!

General Umezu Yoshijiro just thought for more than ten seconds and suddenly asked: "Captain Yamaguchi, where are these gas bombs now? How many are there?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that before coming to Liaoyang, the staff secretly transported the poison gas bombs to the Harbin Military Airport and loaded them on eight transport planes. The strictest confidentiality measures were adopted. Even the commander of the airport did not know that they were about to be used.

What kind of materials can be transported? As long as the staff sends a telegram, the transport plane can take off immediately and arrive at the Liaoyang Field Airport in three hours. Is the quantity enough to cover all the positions of the China Independent Division on the central blocking line of the Liaodong Peninsula twice?

above!"

"Yo Xi!" General Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Commander Yamaguchi immediately ordered the transport plane loaded with poison gas bombs to take off. Before nine o'clock tonight, it must arrive at Fengtian Field Airport, not Liaoyang. In addition, you and I don't need to do this.

The third person besides knows, do you understand?”

Major General Yamaguchi was a little surprised. He did not expect that General Umezu Yoshijiro, who had always regarded himself as an orthodox soldier of the empire, would suggest to him the use of poison gas bombs. He agreed so readily and prepared a lot of rhetoric, but there was no need for it, "Hai

!The staff will strictly follow the commander-in-chief’s order and immediately order the transport plane to take off! And maintain the strictest confidentiality!” He replied energetically.

But what General Umezu said next made him nervous again, "Captain Yamaguchi, does your secret service have branches and intelligence networks in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula?"

Major General Yamaguchi gave a helpless smile and replied truthfully: "Commander-in-Chief, no, according to the regulations of the base camp, the Korean Peninsula is the area under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Korean Garrison Army, and the Kwantung Army's secret service has no right to set up any branches there. Relevant intelligence,

It can only be coordinated through the relevant departments of the base camp!”

"Oh, that's it!" General Umezu Yoshijiro was greatly disappointed. He originally thought that he could learn about the situation in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula through the channel of the secret service, but now it seems that he is still disappointed. It is the sphere of influence of the damn factions.

division, but he concealed it very well, "Captain Yamaguchi, your secret service can develop such special bombs and play a role in the interests of the empire at a critical moment. I am very happy in my heart. Go ahead and do your best."

matter!"

Major General Yamaguchi left with satisfaction and left in a very happy mood. Although Commander-in-Chief Umezu did not praise him greatly for this move that could turn the tide of the war, from now on, the Kwantung Army's secret service will inevitably walk into His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

In his mind, he wanted to restore the power and glory of Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro. At that time, the head of the Yamaguchi Agency in Manchuria could be described as a figure who stomped his feet and the ground shook.

Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro’s strategy of pacifying the Manchurian Anti-Japanese Armed Forces was “one-third military and seven-cent political!” The direct executor was the Kwantung Army’s secret service. He was also Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro’s most trusted subordinate, but he was replaced by Commander-in-Chief Umezu.

After becoming an official, I knew that my boss, who was aloof from factional battles, was not very interested in the secret service, so I went to great lengths to submit a letter of surrender. Now it seems that the effect is very good!

General Umezu Yoshijiro stood alone for a while. From the bottom of his heart, he was unexpected by Yamaguchi's gift. This gift will play an irreplaceable role in breaking the current blocking line of the independent division troops.

, Shinyuemon used a special mortar brigade on the Andong line to defeat three brigades of the independent division in one fell swoop, which is a successful example.

So, the effect of the more powerful No. 1 special gas bomb this time will be even more amazing. As for things like morality and international conventions, in the eyes of General Umezu, they are nothing, and there is no psychological burden.

All he needs to do is to regain the Liaodong half

The imperial general of the island, as for the means, he can adopt any method. A cruel sneer suddenly appeared on his lips, and he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Put me through Lieutenant General Asada, the commander of the First Air Force. There is something important."

For military secrets, use the confidential hotline!"

At night, eight large Japanese transport planes flew in from the direction of Harbin and landed at Fengtian Field Airport. The Japanese ground staff at the airport discovered that the ones guarding the airport were not ordinary airport garrison soldiers, not even superior military police.

It was those frightening guys from the secret service who surrounded the eight transport planes with loaded guns and live ammunition, and no one was allowed to get close.

After a while, dozens of trucks with civilian license plates unloaded many wooden boxes from the transport plane, loaded them onto the trucks, and under the protection of the secret service agents, drove away from the airport and mysteriously disappeared into the streets of Fengtian.

Subsequently, several senior officials of the secret service summoned the ground service and airport guard officers and soldiers together, and warned with murderous intent: "No one is allowed to say a word about what happened tonight. This is the Kwantung Army."

Order from the headquarters, otherwise, the secret service will invite you to eat authentic Japanese food!"

After hearing this, the Japanese airport garrison officers and soldiers, as well as the ground staff, remained silent. They knew what the secret service did. These guys were ruthless to the Manchus, and they would never be merciful to their own compatriots. The so-called authentic

Japanese food, everyone who has eaten it has disappeared without exception.

These eight Japanese military transport planes took off from the Japanese Army Field Airport in Harbin. Naturally, they could not escape the eyes of the Independent Division Aviation Ground Radar Station. Compared with the past few days, the Japanese Army's various combat aircraft, large fleets, and large formations were frequently operating in the skies over the Northeast. A mere eight aircraft

The transport aircraft did not attract much attention. The ground radar station regarded it as an ordinary air situation and mixed it with a bunch of air situation information. As usual, it was reported to the Incheon Joint Air Control of the Air Force!
