"General."

In Taiyuan, Kazuki Yamamoto walked into the headquarters with a stack of intelligence materials, bowed his head and saluted, and went straight to the topic:

"Zhu Ziming has new information."

"Recently, five days after the attack on the Shijiazhuang Pilot Station, Li Yunlong once again obtained a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition provided by Chen Fan, with a total amount of more than 100 tons."

"Among them, there are 90 to 100 tons of grain, more than 10 tons of canned meat, and about 15 tons of weapons and ammunition, but the specific categories are not clear."

More than 100 tons of food and materials, weapons and ammunition, even if there are hundreds of big mules, transportation is also a big project, most of the soldiers in the regiment headquarters participated in the transportation work, and considering that there is no need to hide this, and to avoid Zhu Ziming's suspicion, Li Yunlong also let Zhu Ziming participate in the transportation work, so he can roughly guess the specific amount of materials.

In addition, there is a big gap between the quantity of materials speculated by Zhu Ziming and the actual situation, so Li Yunlong let him pass it on to the devil.

"More than 100 tons of food, weapons and ammunition..."

Yoshio Shinozuka immediately began to rub his forehead.

Whether it is 90 tons of grain, more than 10 tons of canned meat, or 15 tons of weapons and ammunition, this is not a small amount, and at the same time, it is a very serious problem.

According to the basic consumption of a troop, even with the consumption level of the imperial army, this is enough for Li Yunlong to form a brigade-level elite army, and the Eighth Route Army consumes much less materials than the imperial army, I am afraid that it can pull out an additional full brigade.

And he could only watch Li Yunlong recuperate with the help of this batch of materials, develop and grow, and recover the scars of the previous battle with the Oshima Kan team, but he couldn't do anything.

Launch a Sweep.

After the attack on the Shijiazhuang Pilot Station, he had already begun to prepare, but the North China occupation area was too large, and the more than 100,000 North China Front troops were laid out, and the troops were simply not enough.

He was the commander of the First Army, and he couldn't even draw the strength of a full brigade, which was really aggrieved.

If you want to eliminate Li Yunlong, or lower your requirements, stop his development, and force him to move, considering that he is now in the deep mountainous area, he needs to send at least about 3,000 troops to complete the task, and he must also be equipped with a considerable number of heavy weapons.

Secondly, there is another problem, and that is supplies.

A 3,000-person, equipped with a sufficient number of heavy weapons, a wing-sized force needs to prepare a large amount of materials to fight in the mountains, after all, the superior firepower and strong combat effectiveness of the imperial army need a large number of materials to maintain, and in addition, it also needs enough troops to maintain the transportation line, at least a 1,000-person baggage team, after all, it is the base of the Eighth Route Army, and their specialty is to sneak attack the imperial transport team.

Over the past few years, the empire has suffered the loss of guerrilla warfare ambush convoys many times.

But the empire is not rich, the front line is fighting with the government, and the supply of materials is really slow.

However, under his full promotion, the next sweep around Li Yunlong's base area has passed, but the speed makes him seriously dissatisfied, and if he continues at this speed, he is afraid that it will take half a year to launch an attack.

There was one thing he didn't understand, the speed of supplies on the local side was much slower than before, and repeated urgings were useless, and even when he was asked by a lieutenant general, no one paid attention to him.

"Chen Fan..."

Gritting his teeth and spitting out these words, Yoshio Shinozuka looked gloomy.

Unable to deal with Li Yunlong for the time being, and being overwhelmed by all kinds of troubles, Yoshio Shinozuka could only set his sights on this mysterious person.

If it weren't for the weapons, ammunition and materials provided by this person, this Li Yunlong would definitely not be so difficult to deal with, and if it were not for the information provided by this person, how could Li Yunlong's so-called special squad attack the pilot station in Shijiazhuang?

Everything, it's this person.

"General."

Yamamoto's forehead jumped, and he couldn't help but remind:

"This Chen Fan, we don't have any information about this person at the moment, and Zhu Ziming can't contact this person, in the entire independent regiment, only officers above the battalion level have the opportunity to contact this person."

Yoshio Shinozuka's headache is Li Yunlong, and Yamamoto Kazuki's headache is this Chen Fan.

He's been investigating for more than a year, more than a year! And then nothing was investigated, which was simply devastating.

"No need to deal with this person."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to grit his teeth: "More than 100 tons of materials, he must have a transportation channel, as long as we cut off his transportation route, then even if he has more materials, he will not be able to transport them." ”

"With so many materials, there are only two roads to enter the Republic of China, the highway on the Yunnan-Burma side, or the shipping on the southeast coast, and the highway in the north simply does not have such a large transportation capacity."

"The base camp attaches great importance to this matter, we can mobilize more imperial intelligence forces, I will personally call General Tu Feiyuan and ask him to personally inquire into this matter, and mobilize the senior spies on the national side to investigate this matter."

"As for the southeast coast, I will negotiate with the navy."

“····”

The corners of Yamamoto's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Obviously, his own general was angry at this time, and he lost his mind a little.

Although he did not have the right or the strength to investigate where the materials provided by Chen Fan for Li Yunlong were produced and where they were transported into the Republic of China, he, who controlled the entire intelligence section of the First Army, did not even investigate clearly how the other party transported them into the guerrilla base area.

I'm afraid that most of this investigation will not be fruitful.

And...

Negotiate with the Navy, you... Is it serious?

"Staff officer..."

Taking a few deep breaths, Yoshio Shinozuka regained his composure, and several staff officers he called:

"Order all highways, railways, and city garrisons and fortresses around the mountain horse road, as well as all hidden intelligence officers, to investigate how this Chen Fan's materials entered the base area of the Eighth Route Army."

"At the same time, a reward order will be launched, and if anyone can provide accurate information about Chen Fan, a reward of one million oceans will be awarded."

"Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man."

"I don't believe it, this person organized such a large transfer of disaster victims, and gave Li Yunlong hundreds of tons of weapons, ammunition and food supplies, no one knows about him?"

"Hey."

The staff officer wrote down the order and quickly began to draft the message as well as the order.

It seems that the preparations for General Shinozuka's new sweep plan are not going well······ Kazuki Yamamoto thought to himself.

"In drafting an order to the captain of Shou County."

Yoshio Shinozuka said suddenly.

After the staff officer left, Yoshio Shinozuka was obviously in a much better mood, and said to Yamamoto: "The investigators of the base camp, as well as the captain of the Fifth Division sent to study special operations, will they arrive in Yangquan tomorrow?" ”

"Hey."

Yamamoto bowed his head: "Their convoy will arrive in Yangquan tomorrow morning." ”

However, when Yamamoto heard that the Fifth Division was learning the captain of the special operations group, he subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable, his face stiffened, and his special operations were finally promoted, but the promoter turned out to be Li Yunlong, and the price was broken by the fifteen pilots of the empire, which made Yamamoto very awkward.

"You are familiar with Kosa Shinji Daisa."

Yoshio Shinozuka advised: "Let him strengthen his safety work, there must be no accidents, and the incident of the observation group and the pilot station must not occur again." ”

"Hey."

Yamamoto bowed his head and regretted it.

"How long will it take for your task force to be built?"

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to ask.

"It's going to take another five days."

Kazuki Yamamoto replied, "It will take a long time for the transfer of troops. ”

"Speed up."

Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes.

He also plans to use the Yamamoto special team to deal with Li Yunlong!

······

Shou County.

Inside the headquarters.

"Captain, Taiyuan emergency."

A staff officer ran in.

"Emergency..."

Hearing the word emergency, Kotaro Ito instantly felt his scalp tingle.

Emergency, emergency.

He hated these two words the most, often these were very troublesome orders, difficult to complete, and there were urgent time requirements, as well as severe delay penalties.

In an instant, he began to regret being the captain again.

Isn't it good to be a vice captain of Shaozuo? Although the power is not great, the pressure is not great, and it may not be able to make so much money, but it will not be too little, and there will be no risk of seppuku or jade crushing anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, there is Li Yunlong here!

Li Yunlong, who wiped out all the divisions of the first class.

Being a captain here is not your average danger or difficulty.

"Nian..."

I was just about to let the staff officer read it, but when he thought it was an urgent telegram, Kotaro Ito, who was anxious, took it and looked at it himself.

With an anxious expression, he began to read the emergency call, but after reading it, Kotaro Ito frowned on the contrary, and the smile on his face indicated that he was in a good mood.

"Yo Si."

"General Shinozuka ordered us to be on high alert and not to have any military friction with Li Yunlong in the near future."

Kotaro Ito nodded.

That's just as he intended.

"Command."

It happened that the staff officer was here, so he directly issued an order: "Close the city gate, all squadrons will be stationed at the fortress at the city gate, stop patrolling the surrounding areas, and all the villages around the county town will be abandoned." ”

"All the troops in the surrounding turrets have also been withdrawn."

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head.

"Captain, isn't that the garrison on the right?"

The staff officer asked.

Li Yunlong's independent regiment was on the left side of Shou County, and on the right was the base of the new regiment.

"Withdraw too."

Kotaro Ito has made up his mind to be a shrunken turtle.

Anyway, General Shinozuka said in the telegram that after a period of hibernation, the waiting army was ready, and he would launch a sweep of unprecedented scale to completely solve the problem of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

He was hiding in the city and was safe.

······

"The little devil is retreating again?"

Xujia Village, the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong looked at the newly received information, his face was full of surprise, and his brows were also furrowed.

Since he killed the Devil A Division Regiment, he has reorganized the intelligence department, and it is more complete than before, the only remaining puppet army has been infiltrated by him, what orders and news does the little devil have, maybe his independent regiment knows before the leader of the puppet army.

"Devil retreat?"

Zhao Gang looked over and saw Li Yunlong's expression, and his tone suddenly became puzzled.

The devil retreated, this is a good thing, why do you still have this expression?

"See for yourself."

Li Yunlong handed the news to Zhao Gang, but said straight in his mouth: "Not only Jiazhuang, but even Xiaohezhuang and Madao Village, two kilometers away near Shou County, have withdrawn. ”

"Even the cement turret has been abandoned."

"The cement turrets have all been abandoned?"

Zhao Gang also twitched the corners of his mouth.

The independent regiment has only killed four of the cement turrets built by the cage tactics at the beginning, and there are still two devils in them, which is not that it cannot be pulled out, but it is unnecessary and not cost-effective. After all, the remaining two are too close to Shou County, and they are even within the range of the Little Devil Mountain Artillery, so there is no need to go head-to-head with the devil when they currently have an absolute advantage.

I didn't expect the devil to give up on his own.

"The little devil is a turtle with a shrunken head, trouble."

Li Yunlong smacked his mouth and scolded:

"Labor and management are still thinking about fighting a few battles with the little devils in Shou County, so that the recruits can exercise and exercise, and see the blood, damn it, the little devils are shrinking, there is no puppet army here, where can the labor and management go to practice in actual combat?"

Although the current situation is very good, Li Yunlong knows very well that the next time the independent regiment will face a more frantic attack by the devils, he has no time to train troops slowly, only to temper the recruits with actual combat.

"I can only train slowly."

Zhao Gang also sighed.

If there is enough actual combat, the growth rate of the troops can be several times faster, and this is how the independent regiment grows, but, correspondingly, it will also pay relatively large casualties, but this is also a matter of no choice.

If you take an immature army to fight the devil, you will also suffer heavy casualties, but it is better to control the situation at the beginning and take the initiative to participate in the actual battle, and the casualties will be much less.

"Let's step up actual combat exercises."

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong, who was thinking: "Otherwise, can we still go to fight the devil county?" ”

Although Shou County is located in a remote area, the county seat is not small, the population is quite large, the city is high and the pool is deep, and the independent regiment is not good for all people, even if it is not possible to pull the new first and second regiments.

"Hmph..."

Grand Master Li snorted coldly, spread out the map around Shou County and looked at it, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and his tone was gloomy: "The little devil wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so he thinks that Lao Tzu can't trouble him?" ”

"He thinks it's beautiful."

"What do you want to do?"

Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes.

"Scouting..."

Li Yunlong smiled.
