"After midnight, you send half a team to the independent regiment station to investigate."

"If there is an enemy, launch a small attack to test the opponent's fire deployment, I need the opponent's position and firepower to arrange artillery positions."

After letting the troops rest, Oshima Kan called Ito Kotaro and gave the order in a casual tone, while speaking, this Nakasa didn't even look at Ito Kotaro Shaosa, but squinted his eyes and thought about it.

Li Yunlong seemed to know in advance the news that he was coming to attack.

There are two possibilities for this.

First, it was pure coincidence.

When Li Yunlong saw him coming, while sending troops to harass him on a small scale, he also knew that he was a permanent division and regimental brigade, which can be seen from the equipment, and many puppet soldiers also knew the news, Li Yunlong, as a local snake, knew that it was normal.

Faced with the elite brigade of the permanent division of the Imperial Japanese Army, Li Yunlong understood that he could not be defeated, so he began to transfer his troops and those peasants who supported him, avoiding his own edge, hiding in the mountains, and carrying out his so-called guerrilla warfare.

This speculation is reasonable.

Empathy, if it were Li Yunlong, he would have made the same choice.

Although Li Yunlong has made the Imperial Army suffer many losses so far, and even fought a record of annihilating a second-tier and a half brigade of the Imperial Army in an hour, this strength is already on par with himself.

But in that battle, he went to the field to investigate, and it was not that Li Yunlong was too strong, but that the officers of the empire were too wasteful.

The enemy attacked the military column, and on the way to support the troops, the captain of the waste brigade did not have the slightest vigilance of dispersion, and the entire brigade gathered together, along the railway line, and plunged into Li Yunlong's pocket, if it wasn't for the fact that he himself was also broken and the body was found, he would have wondered if this person was a spy, and he was simply sent to death with the imperial warriors.

Second, someone gave Li Yunlong the news that he was going to attack.

According to Yamamoto Daisa, the gold in Taiyuan was robbed, the military column was attacked, and the chief of staff Miyano was ambushed.

This speculation is also very likely.

He decided to directly attack the station of the Independent Regiment three days ago, and many officers and staff officers in the two brigades knew that if the person who provided Li Yunlong with information could learn the whereabouts of Chief of Staff Miyano, and even the whereabouts of the gold transport, he would definitely be deeply rooted, and it would not be difficult to learn the news of his attack.

However, whatever that possibility is not good news for him.

The first shows that Li Yunlong is well versed in the strength of the enemy and us, knows how to judge the situation, and is a powerful opponent, and it may not be easy to eliminate him, if it is the second one, it will be even more troublesome, which means that there are enemy spies in his staff department.

Therefore, he was going to send someone to the station of the Independent Regiment to take a look, and if Li Yunlong retreated, then tomorrow he would go straight to Li Yunlong's ammunition depot.

It is good that the matter of the ammunition depot is highly secret, and no one in the staff knows about it.

"Hi..."

Bowing his head and legs, Kotaro Ito spoke calmly.

Late at night, half a team went to investigate the station of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

If Li Yunlong hadn't retreated, then half of the squad wouldn't have been able to come back alone?

Isn't this a death story?

As for finding out the enemy's position and firepower deployment through a tentative attack, and then confirming the artillery location, who is to lie?

However, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him, and he doesn't need him to lead the team, he is now the acting captain, and he only needs to command the command to do it, and it's not him who died anyway.

"I'll arrange it right away."

Kotaro Ito said again.

At this time, his confidence was even stronger, he must become an official captain and garrison a county town with a brigade, so that he would not be casually used as cannon fodder and sent to the front line to die.

······

Returning to the camp of the Shou Prefecture Brigade, Kotaro Ito quickly found twenty-eight imperial samurai.

The last to arrive was a second lieutenant, also younger.

A group of twenty-nine people lined up in front of Kotaro Ito.

Looking at the slightly young faces in front of him, as well as the pair of fanatical eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked.

As an officer who has been stationed in Shou County for a long time and a veteran of more than ten years, he knows very well which people in the brigade are suitable for this task, which is very likely to be sent to death.

"Gentlemen, I have an important task for you."

Kotaro Ito lowered his voice.

Mission-······ As soon as the words fell, the twenty-nine people in front of him became excited at the same time, and the eyes of all of them were slightly burning, including the second lieutenant officer.

This made Kotaro Ito more and more satisfied.

This is a group of real bushido warriors, true samurai of the Locust, who have a fanatical devotion to the emperor, who firmly believe that they are the warriors of the Great Nuclear Nation, and can't wait to report to the shrine, for these people, the glorious death is the glory they dream of.

Then you will fulfill them.

"Ahead, is where the enemy is stationed."

Kotaro Ito continued to lower his voice, and his tone was solemn: "According to reliable information, this is the location of a main regiment of the enemy, stationed more than a thousand people, and equipped with cannons and a large number of machine guns, this group has repeatedly disrupted the security of North China and caused heavy losses to the property of the empire. ”

The words made the eyes of the twenty-nine people gathered full of murderous energy.

If you dare to disrupt the law and order in the occupied areas of the empire, you will definitely be killed, and no one will be left.

Kotaro Ito continued:

"Our mission this time is to destroy them."

"However, the opponent's strength is not weak, and it has been operating here for a long time, building a solid position, although we carried artillery this time, but we still need to find out the deployment of the opponent's position in order to determine the location of the artillery position."

"Your mission is to launch a night attack on the forward positions and attract enemy firepower..."

Speaking of this, Kotaro Ito suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly, full of excitement: "Gentlemen, it's time to be loyal to the empire, long live the locusts, long live the great Japanese brother." ”

"Long live the locusts, long live the great Japanese brother!"

The twenty-nine people in the line also shouted in unison, with fanaticism and madness in their eyes.

This group of new recruits who have not been in the army for a long time have not yet experienced the severe beatings of war, and the bushido brainwashing is at its peak, completely ignoring life and death, and is bent on clearing the obstacles of the empire.

"Kudansakami!"

Kotaro Ito personally tied a strip of plaster white cloth to the head of the second lieutenant officer.

"Kudanzaka."

The rest of the devil soldiers also took out a plaster white cloth strip and tied it to their heads, howling wildly.

"Let's go."

Looking at his watch, Kotaro Ito ordered: "Watch out for mines, the enemy is likely to lay mines on mountain roads." ”

"Hey."

A group of twenty-nine people, armed with weapons, bowed down, along the mountain road, and touched towards Yang Village.
