    You can search "Anti-Japanese Iron-Blooded Mission" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    Originally, the head of the Japanese military secret service, Hattori Saburo, was scolded by Okamura Neiji and immediately ordered people to go to the Shota Railway to investigate the matter!

    After some investigation, they found a lot of doubts!

    First of all, the appearance of this unit was too sudden, as if it appeared out of thin air. Before this, the nearby Eighth Route Army units showed no signs of mobilization. This was completely inconsistent with the laws of war.

    Secondly, the combat effectiveness of this Tubal group is really too strong. Although the opponent did not use heavy weapons such as large-caliber artillery, they did have a lot of light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and mortars, and most importantly, they had sufficient ammunition.

    This can be seen from the fact that the other party captured two county towns and dozens of town strongholds overnight, which completely exceeded their understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

    You must know that even though the other side dispatched more than a hundred regiments last year, the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was still very average in terms of offensive operations.  It would take two or three days to attack even a small station, even longer if it was an important town.

    Even at the end of the war, in order to deal with the Okazaki Battalion of the 36th Division that broke into the hinterland of their base, the Tubal Army dispatched more than 20,000 people, but they failed to annihilate the 500 people of the Okazaki Battalion. This shows that the Eighth Route Army's real combat effectiveness was not  Not strong.

    Finally, although the combat style of this battle is very similar to that of the Eighth Route Army, careful analysis shows that it is different. The difference lies in the use of strategic materials.

    Although it is also an encirclement and reinforcement operation, it is also a breakthrough operation, and it is also a blocking operation, the Eighth Route Army pays great attention to efficiency when fighting!

    As we all know, what determines the outcome of a war is not only the quantity and quality of soldiers on both sides and the specific environment of the war, but also the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides.

    ¡°Just imagine, one side is holding a rifle, there are cannons and rocket launchers behind, there are planes in the sky, and tanks are running on the ground, while the other side only has traditional cold weapons. Is this a war?

    No, that was not a war, but a one-sided massacre.

    One of the parties involved in the war has an overwhelming advantage in weapons and equipment over the other party. In this case, neither the quantity of troops nor the quality of soldiers can affect the outcome of a war.

    Of course, such an obvious gap will not appear in reality, but the impact of weapons and equipment on a war is unquestionable.

    Based on the information collected by the secret service about the Eighth Route Army, Saburo Hattori could clearly find that this difficult army was extremely short of supplies, especially weapons, equipment and ammunition.

    Tubal Road was divided and surrounded by the Imperial Japanese Army in the mountains and hills. They had no money, no factories, and no land. Their equipment and ammunition supplies could only be obtained through seizures, their own production, and assistance from others.

    But seizures through combat are extremely unstable. In many cases, seizures will only occur when large-scale annihilation wars are fought, otherwise it will be a loss-making business.

    And it is unreliable to produce by yourself. First, the production technology of the Eighth Route Army is far from being able to independently produce weapons and equipment on a large scale to supply all soldiers. More importantly, the production of weapons and equipment requires raw materials, especially steel, which the Eighth Route Army does not have.  How can it be possible for its own steel factory to produce weapons on a large scale?

    The same goes for other people¡¯s aid. If they can give it to you once or twice, can they continue to give it to you?

    "Besides, the Eighth Route Army has hundreds of thousands of troops. It's impossible to feed that many troops just by relying on support from others!"

    Because of this, the Eighth Route Army pays great attention to the efficiency of ammunition when fighting. They claim that one bullet can destroy an enemy, so many times you can know whether it is the National Army or the Eighth Route Army just by listening to the sound of gunfire.

    Even if the Eighth Route Army uses machine guns, it also likes to use burst fire, but most of the National Army likes to shoot!

    If you hear the sound of the opponent's machine gun as "chut tug" on the battlefield, then don't think about it, it must be Tubal Road!

    But if the sound of the opponent's machine gun is "click-click-click" and continuous, it should be the national army.

    However, according to the investigation results of the secret service, during the large-scale raid two days ago, the army was surprisingly generous in the use of firepower, and the troops even did not take away the shell casings when they evacuated.  .

    Among them, the Ninth Brigade, which was reinforcing the Niangziguan front line, found 780,000 to 80,000 dropped empty bullet casings on the blockade battlefield where Tubal Road was stationed. They were all standard bullets produced by the empire, not the lead reloaded by Tubal Road.  Core bomb.

    There is also the arrangement of landmines and booby traps, which is also suspicious!

    They all know about the landmines on Tubal Road. They are all kinds of mines, including clay pots.??Iron, stone, mess, everything is there!

    This is mainly because they don¡¯t have that much steel to cast the outer body of the mine, so they can only choose relatively cheap and simple materials instead.

    And the power of this kind of landmine is also very limited. Just like the border-made grenades they produce, the explosion will often only break the mine body in half, and the lethality is very small.

    But this time it was different. The landmines used by the opponent were all real infantry mines, and the booby traps also used melon grenades produced by the empire, and the number was astonishing.

    Is Tubal Road so wealthy?

    All these things made Saburo Hattori have a question, that is, was the army that attacked the Shota Railway the real Tobali Road?

    More importantly, according to some previous investigations by the secret service, during the Battle of Zhongyuan (Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain), the Ninth Army seemed to be suspected of pretending to be operating on Tubal Road.

    Although most of the troops involved were annihilated afterwards, there is no definite evidence that the Tubal Road that appeared in the Changzhi area at that time was Li Guoyao's command.

    But afterwards, Changzhi was indeed occupied by Li Guoyao's troops, not Tubal Road as mentioned before the war. Therefore, there is a high probability that Li Guoyao's troops were pretending to be Tubal Road to paralyze the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Therefore, based on various doubts, Saburo Hattori has reason to believe that it was not Tubal Road that attacked the Shota Line this time, but Li Guoyao's troops.

    But not long after his question arose and before he could report it to Okamura Neiji, he received a secret report that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region of the Eighth Route Army had determined that this battle was fought by them, and the other side also held a victory celebration yesterday.

    As soon as the news came, the doubts in Saburo Hattori's mind disappeared immediately. After all, someone had already admitted it, and a victory celebration was held, so it couldn't be wrong.

    Mainly because Saburo Hattori has always felt that although Tobali is very cunning, they still do things fairly decently and are very principled, and rarely acknowledge the things they do that are not theirs.

    Secondly, Saburo Hattori believes that the Chinese army likes to ask for credit from their superiors when fighting. After all, this is not only related to the supplies and supplements of the troops, but also the promotion of officers.

    "If this battle was really carried out by the National Army troops, whether it was under Li Guoyao or not, they would definitely report it to the top brass of the National Army.

    But in fact, until now, their intelligence personnel deployed in the first and second theaters have not received relevant credit reports, and if it was really the national army that did it, it is impossible to hand over such credit to  Tuba Road.

    Therefore, Hattori Saburo finally concluded that it was Tobali who did it!

    Of course, what prompted Saburo Hattori to finally suppress the doubts in his heart was the pressure from Commander Okamura, and to find out the truth of the matter within a time limit. This is not a joke. What if you can't complete the task?

    ¡° If Hattori Saburo insists that Li Guoyao¡¯s department did it, then he must find irrefutable evidence, not to mention that he is dissatisfied with Commander Okamura.

    But it is really impossible for him to find enough evidence in a short time!

    Therefore, even if you have thousands of questions in your heart, you can only pretend not to know at this time!

    "Subsequently, Saburo Hattori sent the "truth" that he had investigated to the North China Front Army Headquarters and handed it over to General Okamura Neiji, but he did not know that the real "murderer" was already heading towards the hinterland of the area they occupied!
