"Yamamoto-kun, have you heard about the martyrdom of Yamazaki Nakasa?"

Taiyuan Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka looked up at Kazuki Yamamoto who walked into the headquarters, and his tone was very calm.

A brigade of five hundred people was annihilated, and the jade shattering of an empire Nakasa was insignificant to Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in charge of an army of tens of thousands.

The Yamazaki Brigade was just a bait used to fish for the Eighth Route Army, and the whole incident was just that the bait was eaten by the fish, but the fish was not caught. Then just change the bait and continue.

The annihilation of a brigade did not affect his overall battle plan, and the liquidation of the base area of the Eighth Route Army was still going on.

"I already know."

Yamamoto nodded expressionlessly, with a thick mockery in his tone:

"Yamazaki Nakasa, like most of the absolute people in the empire, proclaimed himself the god of war, arrogant and arrogant, with a force of only a few hundred people, deep into the hinterland of the enemy, how can it be undefeated."

"Indeed..."

took a deep look at Yamamoto Kazuki, and Yoshio Shinozuka also bowed slightly:

"Yamazaki Nakasa's position was too deep into the interior of the Taihang Mountains, and it also seriously deviated from the predetermined combat route, and the support troops could not arrive quickly. This is also an important reason for his martyrdom. ”

"And he also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army."

From the time the Yamazaki Brigade was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army to the time when Yamazaki Nakasada was broken, the time was only one day and one night, and this speed was beyond Shinozuka Yoshio's imagination. He always thought that with the deployment of Guan Jiafu and Yamazaki's position, he would be able to hold out for two or three days.

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka, a powerful person who had a low status within the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, rubbed his head with some headaches: "The Eighth Route Army launched the final blow, it was Li Yunlong and his independent regiment. ”

Compared to the annihilation of a brigade, this matter made him more upset.

When he heard Li Yunlong, he remembered his flying group with only a quarter left, and the more than a ton of gold he had managed to accumulate. When he heard Li Yunlong, he had a headache, and it got worse and worse.

"This person really deserves a little attention from the imperial army."

Yamamoto's paralyzed face has also changed slightly.

He continued:

"Judging from the vicinity of Taiyuan Airport, this person has a very strong tactical command ability, and is very good at using terrain and traps, coupled with his sophisticated weapons that he doesn't know where they come from, the combat effectiveness of a regiment of this person is equivalent to a supernumerary brigade in the empire."

The super-formation brigade is equivalent to a six-squadron infantry brigade equipped with a cavalry squadron.

"Moreover, this person's training month for his subordinates is quite good."

Yamamoto remembered the three communications soldiers he had failed to ambush and capture alive. He also had to admit that these signal soldiers, with high vigilance, firm will, resoluteness and bravery, were all elite, not inferior to the veterans of permanent divisions and regiments.

Speaking of this, Yamamoto's brows suddenly furrowed.

Chen Fan.

It was this person who provided Li Yunlong with weapons and ammunition.

However, so far, he has mobilized the intelligence system of the entire empire through various means, but he has still not been able to investigate this person, and even except for Li Yunlong's group, no one has contacted this person.

This made him can't help but wonder······

Is there such a person at all!

"However, the jade shattering of the Yamazaki brigade and the martyrdom of Yamazaki Nakasa, are still meaningful."

Throwing Li Yunlong out of his mind, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes flashed:

"In the mountainous areas around the first line of heaven, it is certain that this is the rear ordnance base of the Eighth Route Army, and they have built an arsenal here, which can manufacture weapons and ammunition in small quantities."

"According to the information provided by Tegaoke, its headquarters seems to have been stationed near the arsenal, and judging from the speed of the other party's encirclement and suppression of the Yamazaki brigade, this information should be correct."

"Found the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?"

Hearing this, Yamamoto's eyes lit up.

Since his failed attack on Daxiawan, the Imperial Army has lost the news of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and has not been able to confirm its location, which is why he has never been dispatched.

"Yes!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "In addition, Chief of Staff Miyano officially informed me that the North China Front attaches great importance to your special operations, and has dispatched nearly two hundred officers above the captain level from all over the country to form an observation group, which is personally led by the brigade commander, General Hattori Naotomi, and arrives in Taiyuan a week later." ”

"This time, you are the protagonists, they are the audience, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is the stage."

"Although my special forces are not singers at the Tokyo Kabuki Hall, and they are not good at acting, combat is not for performance."

Yamamoto Kazuki first looked a little displeased, then raised his head and said in a sharp tone: "But since it is the request of the Chief of Staff of Miyano, then I will put on a big show and use the blood of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to innovate the tactics of the North China Front, but..."

"If you have any requests, don't hesitate to mention them."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kazuki Yamamoto, who had stopped.

"General, then I'll be straight to the point."

Yamamoto took a standing posture and looked directly at Yoshio Shinozuka: "If I want to put on a good show, I need the cooperation of the entire First Army, that is, the First Army must fight around my special team. ”

"Of course."

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled: "This time, you are the protagonist, and the first army is a supporting role." ”

He is also looking forward to this battle.

The new tactics implemented by the First Army were very effective at first, greatly reducing the scope of the opponent's base area and eliminating many armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, but as the battle progressed, things began to develop in a bad direction.

The strong resilience of the Eighth Route Army was once again demonstrated, and the base area after the sweep of his army sprung up like a spring after the rain, although the area and strength were weaker than the current one, but those damned only that person, still unrepentant to support the resistance of this guerrilla, it will not be long before these Eighth Route Army will develop again.

He didn't have the strength to continue the sweep, neither in terms of materials nor troops.

The empire wanted to use North China as a big rear, not a big hole.

"Hey!"

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head heavily.

"In addition..."

When Yamamoto was about to leave to prepare for the battle, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly said: "Chief of Staff Miyano will also accompany him this time, and his purpose is to investigate the mysterious person Chen Fan who provided weapons to Li Yunlong. ”

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka paused, rubbed his head before continuing:

"The weapons provided by this person have caused serious harm to the security of the empire in North China, and there is intelligence that shows that the information leaked by the empire was also provided by this person, which has attracted the attention of the base camp."

"Will Chief of Staff Miyano be with the observation group?"

Kazuki Yamamoto asked.

"No, Chief of Staff Miyano's investigative action is up to him."

Yoshio Shinozuka replied.

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka added: "With the importance that Chief of Staff Miyano attaches to your special operations, you may be watching from the vicinity." ”

There were many people who opposed it, including Seishiro Itagaki, a classmate of Yamamoto and commander of the Fifth Division, and Lieutenant General Tada Toshi, commander of the Front Army, did not oppose it, and only Chief of Staff Miyano always supported him.

······

Somewhere on the summit of an unnamed mountain, the protagonist Chen Fan looks at the system panel that opens automatically.

"Fractional Business Settlement"

"A total of 15 Japanese pilots killed"

"Reward price: 20,000 points per pilot, 20 barrels of canned meat, 10 tons of cereals"

"A total of 300,000 points, 300 barrels of canned meat, and 150 tons of cereals."

"Note: Cereal-based grains can be freely switched to rice, corn, and flour."

"Three hundred thousand points? Not bad! Not bad! ”

The 300,000 points that burst in made Chen Fan very satisfied.

Although the attack on Taiyuan and the snatching of gold were not the business of the system, Grand Master Li's bombardment of the airport still triggered a long-term piecemeal business and offered a reward for the devil pilots.

But why settle now?

With doubts, he looked at the detailed explanation behind him and immediately understood.

Grand Master Li shelled Taiyuan Airport, killed 14 pilots at that time, and a devil was seriously injured and hung in the hospital, but unfortunately the medical technology of this era is not good, this guy can't hold on just now, it's cold, so he has not settled the task until now.

"However, this number is too coincidental, just enough to upgrade."

He looked at the experience bar, where there was only 300,000 points to reach the full grid: "It seems that after the next mission, I can exchange materials and start the main quest." ”

System upgrades cost credits.

Before closing the system interface, Chen Fan glanced at the lower right corner.

"Until the next business starts: 5 hours"

"Departure, delivery of goods, and when you arrive at the independent regiment, the specific content of the mission will come out."

Muttering, Chen Fan was carried down the mountain by his entourage.

······

At the same time, Shijiazhuang.

"To watch Yamamoto Kazuki Daisa perform special tactics?"

Sanhao Dazuo looked at the order in his hand and hesitated.

Because of the last Shuangfeng Town incident, he was not only scolded by his superiors, but also removed from the position of Shijiazhuang garrison commander.

"Yes."

The devil who came to deliver the letter nodded: "This time it is an observation organized by Chief of Staff Miyano. ”

This time, the orders to participate in the observation group were all notified by special personnel.

"Must attend?"

Mihiro didn't want to go.

Although he didn't know Yamamoto Kazuki, he knew that more than half a year ago, Ikeda Jiuichi, who died in his territory of Shuangfeng Town, was this person's classmate and subordinate, and was deeply valued by Yamamoto.

At the beginning, because of the death of Ikeda Kuichi, Yamamoto also personally dispatched.

Even, this person later led the launch of a round of investigation into trumped-up intelligence leaks, and many staff officers were dismissed, and even he was almost affected.

With this layer of estrangement, Sanhao Dazuo didn't want to see Yamamoto Kazuki at all, let alone see Yamamoto perform any special operations.

He is just a captain, and he is also the captain of the garrison, and his task is to maintain law and order in the city, but there are no guerrillas in the city, only the underground party, which is more difficult to deal with than Xiaoqiang.

Could it be that he wants to learn special operations and then use it on the underground party?

"Yes, Chief of Staff Miyano has ordered that refusal must not be given for any reason, unless the invitee is unable to act."

The devil who delivered the letter strangled the idea of Sanhao Daisa.

"Hey."

The helpless Sanhao Dazuo could only nod.

At the same time, in Shou County, the captain of the group and many people on Kuroshima also looked at the invitation order that had just arrived.

However, his invitation order was not given by Chief of Staff Miyano, but by Yoshio Shinozuka.

This lieutenant general is very dissatisfied with this Kuroshima multi-person Zhongsa who has been confronting Li Yunlong for so long and has suffered a big loss, but has not made a big move. So let this one go to watch the theater of the observation group, and let another Zhongzuo take over his troops.

"Do you have to go?"

He asked the same question.

During this time, many people in Heidao, who had suffered enough from Li Yunlong, did not want to participate in any observation group at all.

Attacking the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army feels unreliable when you think about it.

After so many years of fighting, they have not even seen the shadow of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, saying that they have eliminated more than 100,000 and 200,000 guerrillas every year, and then they have been eliminated for so many years, and more and more have been eliminated.

"Unless seriously injured and unable to move due to serious illness, participation is mandatory."

The devil who delivered the letter said, "This is Lieutenant General Shinozuka's order. ”

"Hey!"

Many people on the Black Island are talking about their lack of energy.

It is also a time, Taiyuan, and another devil is completely different.

"General, I want to join the observation group."

Outside the headquarters, Shuiji Iwago said to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Why?"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the captain of the Nakasa Brigade of the airport garrison brigade.

Although Taiyuan Airport was shelled by Li Yunlong, and the Taiyuan Flight Brigade suffered heavy losses, he did not punish Iwago Hideji severely, after all, the responsibility for this operation was not his, and there was no mistake in command, so even if the responsibility was unshirkable, Iwago Hideji was only deducted from his salary, severely criticized, and then canceled the rank promotion evaluation.

He is still a real power captain and is responsible for airport guards.

"According to Yamamoto Daisa, this operation will be aimed at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."

"As the elite of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong's independent regiment will inevitably participate in this operation, so I want to go and see, of course, if I can lead the brigade to participate in the battle, then I will not participate."

As the Taiyuan Airport Garrison Brigade, Iwago Hideji rarely goes out to fight.

"Your mission is to guard the airfield in case of the next enemy attack."

Rubbing his head, Yoshio Shinozuka refused.

Although the loss of more than 50 planes and more than a dozen pilots made his heart ache to the point that he couldn't breathe, this loss was actually very slight for the current Great Japanese Empire as a whole.

In a few months, his 1st Army Aviation Group will again return to the size of more than fifty aircraft.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned from the pain, strengthened the defense of the airport, and the surrounding four kilometers were all warning areas. Within 10 kilometers of the vicinity, a large number of security posts have been set up.

"Please ask General Shinozuka to agree."

Shuiji Iwago bowed his head and pleaded.

"Okay."

Yoshio Shinozuka finally agreed; "However, you can only act with the observation group."

"Hey! Thank you, General. ”

Shuiji Iwago hurriedly thanked.
