Chapter Eighty-Three: Comparison.
"Brother Yunfei."
In Yang Village, in the temporary residence where Chu Yunfei lived, Li Yunlong walked in and handed Chu Yunfei a shell gun gift box and an adjutant knife: "Come and don't be rude, this adjutant knife and the shell gun gift box are my return gift." โ
The adjutant knife is a viewing group of a Japanese army commander.
The barge gun gift box was what he asked Chen Fan for.
"Hey, the general knife is going to our brigade commander, and that's all I have left here. Brother Yunfei, don't see outside. Li Yunlong felt sorry for a wave of his only official knife by the way.
"Brother Yunlong, thank you!"
Chu Yunfei took out his katana, glanced at the brand-new blade, and nodded, very satisfied.
For the Jin Suijun, the adjutant knife, especially the adjutant's saber of Dazuo, is a rare thing, few officers have captured it, and he Chu Yunfei has only gotten Shaozuo's saber in the past few years of the Anti-Japanese War.
After all, the devil's katana, you have to kill him first to get it, and the devil Shaozo, most of them are captains, and it is still very difficult to kill a captain and capture his katana.
Putting away the katana, Chu Yunfei cast his gaze on the barge gun gift box painted with walnut wood and red ribbon.
Compared to the katana, it is clear that this gift box is more sophisticated.
When I opened the gift box, I lifted the red satin covering, and inside was a metal carved shell gun, the black body of which was shining brightly along the winter sun shining through the window.
"Good gun."
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but admire.
The quality is excellent, the shape is exquisite, and the appearance has also undergone metal carving technology, which is both practical and ornamental, and at first glance, this barge gun aroused his love.
Not to mention the samurai sword of Dazuo, this barge gun is much more valuable than the two women's Browning pistols he gave Li Yunlong.
"Brother Yunlong is really a deputy general, the Japanese North China Dispatch Army Observation Group, more than a hundred devil elites, and the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, were killed by one of your regiments."
Chu Yunfei admired.
He already knew about Miyano Michichi.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Grand Master Li was very satisfied with Chu Yunfei's expression and what he said.
This gift box shell gun, in fact, is not a precious thing, all the superiors, the brigade headquarters, the division headquarters, the personnel of the division, he sent out more than 180 from the top and bottom inside and out.
As for the praise, speaking of which, it seems that not many people have seriously praised him for all these things he has done, and they seem to be accustomed to it.
"Brother Yunlong, brother, I want to take the liberty of asking you a question!"
Chu Yunfei suddenly turned straight and said in a serious tone: "You have neither intelligence nor instructions from your superiors, how do you know that there must be a battle to fight on that road?" Is it intuition, or something else? โ
"There is also Miyano Michiichi, the chief of staff of North China, the whereabouts of this person are not so easy to grasp, you can actually send troops to ambush in advance at its destination, it is unimaginable."
Chu Yunfei reviewed it afterwards, and he could see all the military intelligence of the independent regiment.
There is indeed intelligence that shows that the devils around the stronghold of Huting are moving strangely, but for the Japanese troops attacking by the army, these strange movements are not very unusual, and there is no effective information to speculate.
As for Miyano Michichi.
Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army and Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army, these two identities kept his whereabouts in a state of absolute secrecy, and even changed immediately, even if the intelligence agency of the national government could not get accurate information, he did not believe that someone could give Li Yunlong accurate information.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Li Yunlong smiled, and by the way, he was proud: "Why? Just because the devil doesn't know how powerful I am Li Yunlong. โ
Of course, you can't tell the truth.
Because of Brother Chen's attitude, his superiors didn't carefully investigate this matter, how could he say this to Chu Yunfei.
After Li Yunlong left, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong on the side glanced at each other.
"It seems that they are still very good at guarding against us."
Fang Ligong glanced at the shell gun on the table, and his eyes were a little red, this gun is really good-looking, and the quality is good.
Although the barge gun is different from the mainstream firearm style, it is often complained that it is not good-looking, but after getting used to it, it has a different kind of beauty.
"I can still understand the observation group."
Chu Yunfei seemed to be talking to himself: "How did he do it to kill Miyano Daoichi and ambush him in advance in Cangyun Ridge, this requires a bit of a large amount of intelligence, who is it that can provide such a confidential level of information." โ
The observation group can be by chance, but Miyano Michiichi, which must have detailed information.
Taiyuan.
Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.
Chu Yunfei's doubts were also floating in Yamamoto Kazuki's mind at this time.
"Things can be coincidental about the observation group."
"The Eighth Route Army has troops in ambush near the stronghold of Huting, although it is unexpected, but sending a battalion to lurk behind the large force to prepare to attack the forward command center, the logic is barely reasonable, before Sakata was killed, it shows that the other party likes to target the command post."
"But."
"General Miyano has arrived in Jiaoxian."
"Not many people know about it."
"As for his master-apprentice relationship with Sakata, even fewer people know about it."
"How could this group of Eighth Route Army set up an ambush in Cangyunling so accurately? General Miyano temporarily went to see the martyrdom of Sakata Daisa, and it is impossible that someone leaked the secret in advance. โ
Yamamoto was confused about this matter, and after a little thought, he felt that there were layers of fog, and it seemed that there was a shocking conspiracy hidden inside.
"Strange..."
Muttering to himself, Yoshio Shinozuka walked into the headquarters.
"General."
Kazuki Yamamoto stood up and saluted, his tone implying anticipation.
The killing of Chief of Staff Miyano was a major event for the North China Front that shook the whole army, and in addition to the successive defeats in the recent internal security operations, the senior officers of the entire North China Front Army gathered in Beiping for a meeting of the entire army at the brigade commander level and above.
It seems that there are new appointments at the base camp. However, Yamamoto is not very sure, he is just a small big sa, and he still can't do anything about this kind of news at the level of the Imperial Army.
"Yamamoto-kun."
Yoshio Shinozuka, who had just returned from Beiping, seemed to be in a very good mood.
The attack plan failed, all the members of the observation group were martyred, and even the chief of staff Miyano died in his territory, originally Shinozuka Yoshio thought that he would be in big trouble this time, but the ending was very unexpected for him.
"An order from the base camp, and soon after, General Gangcun will be inaugurated as commander-in-chief of the North China Front."
Yoshio Shinozuka smiled.
"General Gangmura?"
Yamamoto Kazuki was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood why Yoshio Shinozuka was so happy.
Yoshio Shinozuka and General Gangmura have a close personal relationship, have the same military philosophy, belong to the same faction, and belong to their own people, since General Gangcun is about to take office as commander-in-chief of the North China Front, the problem of the First Army will not be deeply investigated this time.
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued to say to Yamamoto: "However, General Gangmura's appointment date is July this year, and during this period, your special team can only take a temporary break. โ
"Hey."
Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head.
This operation was organized by him by Chief of Staff Miyano, who initiated it, and now Chief of Staff Miyano has been martyred, and the top brass of the North China Front has always complained about his special operation, and if the biggest supporter is gone, he will naturally be attacked.
This was within Yamamoto's expectations.
In the case that the commander of the North China Front has not been changed, even Yoshio Shinozuka does not dare to support him openly.
However, because he was his biggest supporter, Miyano Chief of Staff Yu Sha was martyred, so his small, no one moved Dazuo, who had no actual military power.
A special team of less than a hundred people, with little influence, is pitiful.
"The reserve members of your special forces team will be transferred to the major teams to fill some of the lieutenant vacancies."
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "As for your second combat group, I will avoid disbanding for the time being on the grounds that I was injured in the battle and need treatment, and after a while, I will be able to continue my activities." โ
With such a big problem, someone naturally needs to take the blame, he was saved, and the division commanders and brigade commanders who lost their subordinate officers naturally vented their anger on Yamamoto Kazuki, even if he was the commander of an army, the lieutenant general of the empire, he could only barely keep Yamamoto.
"Hi, thank you, Your Excellency."
Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head and thanked him.
Then, he looked at his commander and said in a serious tone:
"Is there any result of the investigation over there in Jiaoxian?"
Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and briefly and scattered some intelligence information:
"Three days before General Miyano went to Jiaoxian, the underground party of the Republic of China in Jiaoxian was wiped out, and according to the information collected from the contact point of the underground party, Li Yunlong's action did not receive the cooperation of the local guerrillas in Jiaoxian."
"The investigation after the incident showed that the troops of the Eighth Route Army that blocked the Jiaoxian garrison marched through the mountains to the vicinity of Jiaoxian one day in advance, because of the front-line operation, the alert troops around Jiaoxian were all transferred, which is also the main reason why the other party was able to pass through covertly without being discovered."
Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka changed his tone with doubts:
"Moreover, we also found a newly excavated ambush position on each of the two roads in Jiaoxian, and the enemy seemed to have originally intended to ambush General Miyano on the road, but because General Miyano's escort team swayed around when they left the city and turned to the north, the other party gave up the road ambush and set up an ambush in Cangyunling instead."
"This is also verified by the traces of the march between the mountain roads."
"Did Li Yunlong really do it?"
Yamamoto was a little surprised.
Before, they only knew that it was the Eighth Route Army who did it, but it was not Li Yunlong, and it was all guesswork.
"Hmph."
Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly, rubbed his head, and threw out an inferior newspaper: "The other party has already published it in the newspaper." โ
"But where did they get the information?"
Yamamoto narrowed his eyes: "Judging from the other party's behavior, it is clear that they have news that General Miyano is indeed there, and they know that General Miyano will arrive in Jiao County at that time." โ
"Otherwise, which regiment will block the troops of Jiaoxian County will not arrive there a day earlier."
"With the marching speed of the Eighth Route Army, a force of this size would need to set off at least three days in advance before they could arrive in Jiaoxian from their base area."
"So..."
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto:
"Next, until General Miyano takes office in July, your task is to investigate this matter, and to find Chen Fan, who provided weapons to Li Yunlong."
"Just find this person and solve these mysteries."
"The intelligence department of the North China Front will fully cooperate, and the special high-tech department will also send someone to investigate this matter, and I will send someone to hand over to you."
"Hey."
Answering with his mouth, Yamamoto was indeed secretly scolding in his heart.
Taiyuan Airport was shelled, gold was looted, and Chief of Staff Miyano was martyred, and it was already obvious that someone had provided confidential information about the empire, but the top management still didn't pay enough attention to it, and just let the First Army be responsible for investigating the matter.
Even secrecy measures have not been strengthened.
A bunch of rubbish!
"However, I heard good news just now, your special forces just had a windfall, and this is likely to bring us a breakthrough." Yoshio Shinozuka said suddenly.
"Windfall?"
Yamamoto was stunned.
He went directly back to Taiyuan, and the special team was still on the front line, and he didn't know what was going on.
"You go to the front line, you go to interrogate someone."
Yoshio Shinozuka's tone was mysterious: "According to the report of the special high-tech, this person may rebel." โ
"Captured an Eighth Route Army?" Yamamoto thought of a possibility.
"Yes."
Yoshio Shinozuka smiled: "Moreover, he is still a member of Li Yunlong's independent group." โ
Yamamoto stood up suddenly, his eyes soaring.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Independent Regiment, Yang Village.
"Okay, let the second battalion be stationed on the spot, that is the edge of the base area, pay attention to vigilance and concealment, the devil's troops are not far from the base area."
After Zhao Gang received the report of a guard platoon soldier, he walked to the conference room of the Yangcun regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong:
"The devils pounced, the front-line troops have all withdrawn, we basically have no losses, only the second battalion was entangled by a small group of devils when it retreated, and lost a few soldiers."
"Hmph."
"The devil suffered a big loss, so he naturally wanted to get back on the field, but unfortunately the previous attack had consumed too much strength and had no strength to continue the attack." Li Yunlong, who was lying on the table studying the plan to hijack the train, raised his head and sneered.
The little devils are powerful, but their shortcomings are also obvious, they are far away from the homeland, and it is difficult to supply, especially when they enter the base areas and fight in the mountainous areas, they lose the supply of materials from the railway, and the roads are attacked again, so they cannot maintain a continuous operation for much time.
"Lao Zhao, come and see..."
Li Yunlong was not much interested in talking about the battle that had ended, and he beckoned Zhao Gang to come over:
"I'm thinking that we should expand the special squad and strengthen their combat effectiveness."
"Brother Chen said that Raushzi is airborne, let's not think about submarine infiltration, and there is no family for us to do."
"However, through Zhang Dabiao's current battle, I have thought that in the future, when we fight with devils, we can send a small group of elites with strong combat effectiveness to infiltrate the rear and raid its command post when the battle is stalemate."
"A glance at what this old devil Yamamoto did."
"We can equip the special agent squad with artillery, and grenadiers, or we can do some."
