Chapter 632: Give Young People a Chance

The Japanese lieutenant said tremblingly: "According to statistics, tonight 26 officers died in battle, including 4 lieutenant generals, 5 major generals, 8 senior colonels, and 9 junior colonels."

"6 seriously wounded… 1 lieutenant general, 1 major general, 2 senior colonels, 3 junior colonels."

"The remaining officers, being farther from the blast site, only suffered minor injuries."

【Host successfully completed the mission to crush the Japanese Fifth Operation Plan】

Personnel losses: 0.

【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the advanced fertilizer molecular formula】

【Advanced fertilizer formula】: The system's confidential formula, cannot be forward-researched, cannot be reverse-cracked, clean and hygienic; the fertilizer will not affect land or harm human health, increase food production, improve soil environment; even if the land is terrible, after being cultivated with this fertilizer, it can gradually become fertile, high-yield black soil.

Seeing the introduction of the dog system, Chen Yongren felt how formidable this thing was.

It doesn't harm the soil, yet it can increase yield?

In the future, just selling fertilizer could make one the world's richest person.

Having obtained the good thing, but obviously now is not the time to be happy; Chen Yongren's expression was solemn, he kept a grim face and said nothing.

After all.

After all, I am now a 'Japanese', and so many officers have met with misfortune in Beiping.

Even if I were happy, I still couldn't say it now.

Hearing these casualty numbers, Gangcun Ningci couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

How many officers came to Beiping for the meeting?

Now there are actually 32 casualties.

The commander dies before achieving victory—what war are we still fighting?

Gangcun Ningci was so angry his nostrils smoked, he looked at An Da 23 and shouted: 'Immediately order the Beiping Special Agency to investigate those who have recently entered or left the banquet hall.'

'Also, who is in charge of the banquet's security, and who neglected the inspection under the table? Immediately send this idiot to prison!'

'The enemy actually placed a bomb right under our noses; this is clearly a provocation against us, and this must absolutely not be tolerated!'

Gangcun Ningci grew increasingly suspicious, suspecting that someone secretly assisted the assassin in placing the bomb.

An Da 23 nodded heavily.

Gangcun Ningci also said no more, and returned to the second-floor office,

The reason is also simple: he fears death.

Gangcun Ningci worried that someone might ambush him on the way, and he would die under the attackers' random gunfire.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yuan Chief, Gangcun Ningci returned to the office.

Compared to capturing the assassin, the most important thing now is how to report to the Army Ministry.

With so many officers meeting with misfortune in Beiping, the North China Command will certainly have to take responsibility.

'Chief, you should also go back and rest; I will send military police to protect your safety.' An Da 23 and the others said in a low voice.

'Uncle… something truly big has happened in the military department; how could I possibly sleep?' Chen Yongren shook his head to refuse.

'When you are needed, I will naturally arrange your work.' An Da 23 said in a low voice: 'Now, this is no longer something you can solve.'

'Go home, rest well, tomorrow morning I will send someone to pick you up.'

Hearing this, Chen Yongren no longer insisted.

After An Da 23 had arranged everything, he returned to the office.

Gangcun Ningci's face was so gloomy it seemed about to drip water.

Not long ago, the hospital called.

The several seriously wounded officers ultimately could not be rescued and all died.

The 32 casualties ultimately became 32 deaths.

Although these two words differ by only one character, their consequences and punishments are incomparable.

When Gangcun Ningci reported the club incident via radio to headquarters, as expected, he received a stern scolding.

Shan Shan Yuan even woke from his sleep, ordering Gangcun Ningci to solve the case within half a month, uncover the mastermind, or face severe military punishment.

It's no wonder the old Japanese devil is so angry.

Once 32 officers were blown up, the command force was almost entirely destroyed, officers appeared with a severe generational break—whoever it was would be anxious.

The lowest-ranking dead were division-level commanders; even if officers are temporarily drafted now, lacking combat experience and training, they fundamentally cannot command troops.

'Your Excellency the Commander, I have already conveyed your orders in full.' An Da 23 bowed slightly.

Gangcun Ningci sat in his chair, face dark, anxiously pinching the bridge of his nose to relieve pressure: 'An Da, what do you think about this?'

An Da shook his head, saying: 'This matter is too strange… how did the other side find out that we were holding a banquet at the club?'

'Such decisive action shows the enemy clearly knows who attends the banquet; could they be targeting these officers specifically?'

Gangcun Ningci nodded: 'On this point, our thoughts are exactly the same; the enemy is very likely targeting these officers.'

After a pause, it opened the drawer again, took out a document, and threw it on the table: 'An Da, take a look at this first.'

'Hmm?' Although An Da was doubtful, he still picked up the file.

After flipping through it twice, his expression changed instantly: 'The operation plan has been leaked—how is that possible!'

'The National Government's reaction tells us the plan has indeed been leaked; otherwise, with their abilities, how could they have deployed a counter to our attack before we even acted?'

'The intelligence comes from a senior spy we have hidden in Yu City; there is absolutely no problem!'

'The reason I am so confident about taking Yu City is because we have this guy as an insider, capable of sending all of the National Government's strategic deployments right before our eyes.'

Damn it!

Thinking of this, Gangcun Ningci became very angry.

Now that all the commanders are dead, what's the point of fighting any further?

'But Your Excellency the Commander, how are we supposed to determine who the mole is?' An Da 23 asked.

And the most important point is, how did the enemy evade inspection and deploy the bombs?

He paused, and An Da 23 had a bold guess: 'It couldn't be that the military police were bribed, could it?'

An Da 23 looked grave; if the mole isn't rooted out soon, who knows how big a turmoil could erupt later.

"Given the current situation, we cannot rule out this possibility." Okamura Ningci said in a low voice: "The mole suddenly started acting, which also proves one thing: our operational direction is correct!"

"They just want to use this method to force us to stop our combat operations."

"Your Excellency Commander, high praise!" An Da nodded approvingly: "But what method should we use to root out this mole?"

With the commander gone, no one can direct the troops in the short term, so the attack plan naturally can only be shelved.

Okamura Ningci thought for a moment, then suddenly said: 'I recall that the Chief Commander previously worked at the Jinmen Special Agency, and the counterfeit case was solved by him, right?'

"Hai!" An Da 23 nodded, his mind stirring: "Commander, do you have any ideas about him?"

This is certainly no minor case; if the investigation comes up empty, responsibility will definitely have to be taken.

"The Chief Commander is still young; perhaps he can't handle it…" An Da 23 implied.

Okamura Ningci said coldly: 'Precisely because of that, we must give the youngster a chance; otherwise, how would he win over everyone?'

"Mr. An Da, do you say that's right?"
