Check in from the bright sword

The Eight-tailed Turtle said quietly: "With the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to find out the truth about the robbery of the cash transport vehicle in a short period of time. The looted armored van and the cash in it may still calm the wrath of His Excellency the Commander."

It's just that the eight-tailed turtle has a vague intuition.

The armored van may be found, but the cash may be hard to tell.

Eight-tailed turtle's worries soon became reality.

About an hour later, the gendarmerie convoy had just returned to Taiyuan when it received a report from the puppet army that it had found a cash transport vehicle near Yuci Beiguan.

So the team immediately turned around and headed for Yuci Beiguan.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived at Yuci Beiguan.

Then Yami Kamezo and Momoi Taro saw the cash truck parked on the highway.

The left and right windows and the front windshield of the cab of the cash transport vehicle were all broken, and the tailgate was also open, inside which were stacked random money boxes that had already been opened.

All money boxes are empty.

Seeing this, Momoi Taro's vision went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.

It's over, wouldn't it be more difficult to get back the stolen 2500 million now?

A company commander of the puppet army rushed forward, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Taijun, the cash transport vehicle was found in a pond deep in the apple grove nearby. These spies of the Eighth Route Army are really cunning. The armored truck drove into the pond, but fortunately, Taijun reminded us to check all the ponds one by one, and finally found it.”

Eight-tailed Turtle said in a deep voice: "When you found the money transport truck, the cash box was empty?"

"Yes, it's all empty." The puppet company commander swore, "There is absolutely no lie."

Eight-tailed Turtle nodded, and then asked casually: "How did you get such a heavy armored vehicle?"

The company commander of the puppet army lost no time in complaining: "Young Majesty, in order to get the cash transport truck up, we have gone through a lot of trouble, and we have used more than two mules and horses alone, and several brothers have been injured. "

Eight-tailed Kamezo took out his cigarette and was about to light a cigarette, but when he heard this, his hands stopped suddenly.

The company commander of the puppet army thought he had made a mistake, so he asked cautiously, "Taijun, what's wrong?"

"Mule and horse!" Eight-tailed turtles paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly roared, "Quickly investigate the mule and horse pens, and see which pens nearby have mules and horses stolen?"

"Uh" the puppet company commander said in astonishment, "Taijun, you already know?"

Eight-tailed turtle frowned and said, "What do I know?"

The company commander of the puppet army regretted and said: "Xiao Lizhuang has lost six mules and horses."

"Baga! Since mules and horses were stolen, why didn't you report them as soon as possible?" Eight-tailed Kamezo slapped the commander of the puppet army across the face, then turned back and said to Momoi Taro, "Mr. Block all intersections and strictly check the passing business travelers, especially those with mules and horses!"

Chapter 218

However, it was still a step too late.

After enjoying more than a year of leisure, the Japanese Gendarmerie has indeed regressed in business.

When the Japanese gendarmerie remembered to focus on investigating the business brigade with mules and horses, Wang Yan and the others had already fled to Qingsong Town, more than 100 miles away from Taiyuan.

Qingsong Town is already on the edge of the guerrilla zone.

More than ten miles ahead is the new group's defense zone.

After receiving the secret report from the maintenance chairman of Qingsong Town, Momoi Taro hurriedly ordered the devils and puppet troops in the Songta stronghold near Qingsong Town to intercept it, and at the same time led the military police brigade from Taiyuan to urgently reinforce Qingsong Town.

But as soon as they walked halfway, there was another news that the devils and puppet troops in the Songta stronghold were ambushed halfway. Not only did they fail to intercept the robbers, but they entered another stronghold instead.

Momoi Taro could only return to Taiyuan in despair.

Because the robbers had already rushed into the bandit area at this time, with his mere gendarmerie brigade, if he dared to go deep, he would definitely be swallowed up by the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the Yin Jian of the Yamazaki Brigade is not far away.

The Yamazaki Brigade is still an infantry brigade, and its combat effectiveness is far better than his gendarmerie brigade.

When Momoi Taro returned to Taiyuan again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

However, Shinozuka Yoshio was still awake, and when he learned that Momoi Taro had returned, he sent his adjutant Nakamura Shun over and asked Momoi Taro to go to his office immediately.

Momoi Taro knew that this level could not be avoided.

I could only come to the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi dejectedly.

Shinozuka Yoshio was answering the phone when Momoi Taro came.

The call was made by Ningji Okamura, commander of the North China Front Army.

"Xiaozuka-kun, your first army has been a bit inappropriate recently."

"First, there was an accident with the Black Island United Team, followed by the Yamazaki Brigade, then the observation group, and then the freight train was also robbed. Today is even more extreme. Even the cash transport truck in Taiyuan City was robbed!"

"Xiaozuka-kun, is this because after the great victory at Mount Zhongtiao, you have become lax in your thinking?"

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio bowed slightly, and took the responsibility without a word of excuse, "The reason why the First Army has continued to have problems during this period is mainly responsible for me, the commander, after Zhongtiao Mountain. Really relaxed!"

Neiji Okamura's tone softened immediately, and he said again: "Mr. Xiaozuka, I don't mean to pursue responsibility. The art of war is a common matter in military affairs. Facing a cunning and difficult opponent like the Eighth Route Army, you will occasionally suffer a disadvantage. It is also inevitable, I just hope that the First Army can do its best to reduce losses."

"After all, Shinozuka-kun, you should be very clear about how difficult the current situation of the empire is."

"After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the empire's financial and military power have almost been exhausted."

"At this time, every imperial soldier, every weapon and even every bullet is precious."

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio bowed even deeper, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely conduct a thorough review, earnestly summarize, and resolutely prevent similar low-level mistakes from happening again."

"Yo Xi." Neiji Okamura happily hung up the phone.

Yoshio Shinozuka hung up the phone and straightened up again.

Toshi Nakamura said to Taro Momoi outside the door, "Mr. Momoi, come in."

Momoi Taro walked into the office dejectedly, and said to Yoshio Shinozuka, "General!"

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't even respond, he just stood in front of the map with his back to Taro Momoi, not knowing what he was thinking.

At least half an hour later, there was another sound of heavy footsteps outside the office, and then the head of the special high school, Hachio Kamezo, walked in boldly.

"General!"

The eight-tailed turtle nodded heavily.

Shinozuka Yoshio finally turned his head, and his cold eyes swept across the faces of Momoi Taro and Yamao Kamezo one after another, but he still didn't speak, the air seemed to freeze.
