"Yaga..."

"A bunch of idiots."

"Imperial Moth."

In the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Yamamoto held a secret letter in his hand, and before he entered the door, he heard the angry scolding of his own commander, as well as the crackling sound of breaking, and from time to time debris flew out of the gate.

Just like the previous one.

This is, by the Navy again?

Yamamoto looked at the trembling guards outside the door, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself.

To be able to put a lieutenant general of the army, and a lieutenant general of the real power faction who is in charge of the first army in Shanxi, so angry that he is so incompetent and furious, except for the navy, there are really not many people who can do it.

After waiting for a while, until the angry scolding inside had stopped, Yamamoto walked in.

"General."

Avoiding the debris all over the ground, Yamamoto bowed his head in salute.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Taking a deep breath, Yoshio Shinozuka responded.

Even from a distance of a few meters, Kazuki Yamamoto could feel that His Excellency the Commander of his own family had not stopped at all, but was barely suppressed. Moreover, this time the anger seems to be even more vigorous than the last time.

This can be seen from the number of debris on the ground.

Not only were all the freshly replenished porcelain shattered, but all the tables and chairs were overturned, and the tables that could not be broken were chopped to pieces by katanas.

And the iron blue face can also be seen.

"General."

After a pause, Yamamoto adjusted his tone and said, "The news from the spies of the Independent Regiment came back that he had discovered the training and stationing base of Li Yunlong's special forces, and marked it on the map. ”

"Oh?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's voice rose sharply, his face turned cloudy, and his tone became obviously happy:

"The special squad training base of the independent regiment?"

Recently, this enemy's special squad has also given him a headache, he doesn't care about the affairs of Shijiazhuang, and even clapps his hands, but the matter of Yangquan makes him very stressed.

It is not pressure from his superiors, although the First Army is subordinate to the North China Front, and Gangcun is his direct boss, but as a lieutenant general, he still has the right to speak, and no one will use this to put too much pressure on him.

This pressure comes from the special forces themselves.

A small force that is untraceable, elusive, and very combat-ready, and seems to have access to some of the classified information of the Imperial garrison, has too much impact on the security of the rear.

At present, the troops around Yangquan are stationed, and the officers are all panicked and dare not go out casually, and the military stations and warehouses and other areas are also heavily guarded, and a large number of troops are sent to the highway every day to clear mines and spread around the guard. The number of troops was already insufficient, but now a large number of troops were contained, and under the influence of this, the guerrillas became active again. The encroachment plan has been significantly affected.

If this so-called special forces force is allowed to come a few more times, attack the military station, and attack the officers who are out, I am afraid that the public order situation in his First Army station will deteriorate rapidly.

Now this situation, but Shinozuka Yoshio really did not expect, he is not interested in special operations, because considering that there is almost no role in the frontal battlefield, but unexpectedly, in the occupied zone, it has played such a powerful role.

A force of a few dozen people restrained his nearly 10,000 troops.

"Yes."

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded:

"I already know the location of the special forces of the separate regiment."

As he spoke, Yamamoto spread out the map in his hand, and there was a point on it that he had just marked, and pointing to the point, he said:

"Right here."

"Located deep in their so-called base area, between a canyon, surrounded by deep mountains, there are no roads, only a few rugged horse roads, and the traffic is difficult, which is not suitable for large troops to march and station, but small forces are very suitable."

Seeing the location marked by Yamamoto and the small-scale topographic map, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes flashed:

"Canyon terrain?"

Seeing the location and terrain, the battle plan appeared in his mind for the first time.

"Yes."

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded, he knew what the commander was asking, so he continued: "The canyon is nearly four hundred meters wide, the slopes on both sides are very flat, and the amount of vegetation on the ground is not much. ”

"Do you have any battle plans?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's tone became noticeably more leisurely.

According to Zhu Ziming's report, the other party arranged a dense vigilance force. ’

"This base is too deep in the mountains for us to send troops to, and even if we did, they would have fled a long time ago. Even if I send my special forces, it will be extremely difficult to destroy them. ”

"Special forces are good at raiding and killing, but they are not good at total annihilation."

Yamamoto immediately analyzed:

"So I suggest that the air force be sent to bomb the other side's station."

"This canyon is wide enough for aircraft to bomb deeply, and the straight canyon can improve the accuracy and power of bombing, and it only takes a squad of bombers to completely destroy this special forces."

"Very good battle plan."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, he held the secret letter sent by Zhu Ziming in his hand, and then said:

"But in this way, that Zhu Ziming will inevitably be exposed, he just became a liaison officer, and he just went to the special forces station, and he was bombed everywhere, Li Yunlong can't guess it."

After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, reached out and rubbed his head, and his head began to hurt again.

That's why he asked Yamamoto instead of saying that he would send planes to bomb it. Li Yunlong has not been killed yet, and this person still has a great effect. Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly felt a little pity.

If only that Zhu Ziming was an intelligence officer trained by the empire itself, he could directly order him to find an opportunity to kill Li Yunlong, one life for another, which would save a lot of things.

"I also take this into account."

Yamamoto continued:

"At present, the independent regiment has not been eliminated, Zhu Ziming's role is still very large, and we can't give up this person yet."

"So, before we bomb, we have to do something and hide the source."

"The other side is stationed deep in the mountains and forests, and it seems to be very hidden, but the vegetation there is not lush, so we can first send a reconnaissance plane to fly low on a sunny day, and then send a bomber fleet there."

"In this way, even if the other party has suspicions afterwards, the line of sight will be disturbed."

"Very well, just do as you say."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily.

"Reconnaissance aircraft and bomber fleets, you can arrange them."

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka said with some weakness.

"Hey, I'll arrange it right away."

After Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head, he looked up and asked, "General, what happened?" ”

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes became gloomy: "The next round of sweeping plans I submitted was rejected, and I didn't even give me a reason, and the supplies I applied for are still not in place." ”

"It's been two months, and not a ton has been sent to me."

"I couldn't even give a reason."

"Don't even have a reason?"

Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was a little sluggish.

Unexpectedly, the military supplies were in arrears, and they didn't even give a reason, no wonder their own general was so angry.

After all, Yamamoto is a large officer with a great strategic vision, and he can guess in his heart that there should be other major moves, such as the imminent launch of a major operation on the front line, or other large-scale battles, so he delayed the distribution of supplies to the First Army.

However, what kind of battle, even the lieutenant general who thought that the real power of the empire had to hide it?

Could it be that it was because of the influence of that Chen Fan that the superiors strengthened the confidentiality measures?

Without continuing the topic, Yamamoto reported a piece of information before leaving:

"General, there's one more piece of news."

"Not long ago, I received a telegram from the 37th Wing, half a month ago, the Huting stronghold, which is more than 100 miles away from Shou County, was supported by the regular regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the encroachment plan was hindered, and it was the 772nd regiment of the other side that was supported by it, which was the same brigade as the independent regiment."

According to Shinozuka Yoshio's order, the intelligence around the independent regiment must be reported to Taiyuan. If it is Li Yunlong's information, it will be directly reported to Yoshio Shinozuka himself, and if it is peripheral information, it will follow the normal procedure and finally be handed over to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"I see."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

An hour later, a reconnaissance plane took off from Taiyuan and flew straight to Xujiacun, where the independent map was stationed.

······

At the same time.

Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

"Captain."

A staff officer hurriedly reported to the captain of the Japanese army stationed here:

"The second squadron reported that in the early morning, its first and third squads engaged the enemy on the road for an hour, failed to destroy the company-level troops of the Eighth Route Army, and were fled by the main force of the opponent, and suffered heavy losses themselves."

"In addition, the report also mentioned that the strength of the company-level troops of the Eighth Route Army has been replenished and even increased, and the number is about 180 people, and it is even equipped with a small-caliber mortar."

"Nani?"

The Japanese captain's eyes widened suddenly, and he snatched the detailed information from the staff officer's hand.

The other side has replenished its strength, which is expected, after all, those guerrillas, although their combat effectiveness is very weak, but there are really many people, like rats, they can't kill them all.

However, the strength of the two squads, who had been fighting with each other on the road for an hour, were still escaped by the main force of the other side, which greatly surprised him.

Two squads, both more than 110 people, equipped with grenadiers and heavy machine guns, even if the Eighth Route Army company had 150 people, the weapons were good, and they all had mortars, but how could this be possible?

The main force fled, that is, the other side suffered few casualties.

When did the combat effectiveness of the imperial army become so bad? With a force ratio of less than 1:5, fighting on flat ground, still failing to defeat the enemy? Or even run away by the other party? It also suffered a lot of losses.

When he saw the detailed report, the captain of the devil team instantly widened his eyes and his face became even more gloomy.

Things were even more dire than he expected.

Two squads of 110 people, between the highway and the flat ground, relied on the position to fight for an hour, and the casualties were more than 40, more than one-third of the casualty rate, of which nearly half of the jade crushers, that is, almost 20 people were martyred.

Where is this where the loss is not small? Already heavy losses.

Moreover, this data also shows that in this hour's battle, I am afraid that the imperial army of the two squads was pressed and beaten from the beginning to the end, and if it were not for the fear of reinforcements, I am afraid that half of the casualties would have been lost.

"Baga, where did this come from!"

A slap slapped the information on the table, and the captain of the devil team cursed.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Is the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army too strong?

Is this the strength of the main force of the Eighth Route Army? With a force of 1:15, he defeated the imperial army head-on. So how powerful should the independent regiment that floqually defeated the full formation of the A Division be strong?

No wonder, the other party dared to sneak attack his patrol a few days ago and snatch the reconnaissance motorcycle.

"Command."

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Act on the scale of the squadron and temporarily withdraw the Imperial Allied Army and the security team on the left." ”

"Hey."

After the staff officer left, the captain of the devil brigade picked up the phone:

"Help me pick up Your Excellency the Captain."

He asked for help.

After nearly a month of fighting, more than a hundred soldiers' jade shatters, he finally understood.

Although the 772nd Regiment only sent one company of troops, it was obvious that it was still providing manpower and material support from afar, otherwise the opponent's forces would not have been replenished so quickly, and even after fighting for so long, the firepower did not weaken in the slightest.

If he continues to fight, he will not be able to hold on.

On the other side, in the mountains.

Zhang Dabiao, who had been nervous, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the second company coming back.

The Second Company was the first batch of troops to come here for actual combat training, and it was also the unit with the fastest progress, and after half a month of retraining, it was sent over again.

When he learned through the reconnaissance platoon that the devils had two squads marching between the roads, he decided to let the second company and the devils have a hard time, and deliberately dropped a mortar to support them.

And looking at the smiles on the faces of the new soldiers who came back, you don't have to think about it to know that the second company, a company with seventy percent of the recruits, has been reborn and its combat effectiveness has increased greatly.

"How? The result? ”

He asked the commander of the second company.

"Haha..."

The second company commander smiled on his face: "Almost killed nearly 30 devils, we suffered 21 casualties ourselves, and only 10 were sacrificed." ”

"Not bad."

Zhang Dabiao nodded happily.

War, it is impossible to have no casualties, and the devil is not a puppet army, so it is not so easy to fight. And it's still a positional battle.

This casualty is completely acceptable.

······

Xujia Village.

Sun Desheng sat in a pile of parts covered in oil, and the other five more clever fighters were disassembling a ghost motorcycle that had been seized earlier.

This idea was put forward by the political commissar, he said, disassemble and assemble, disassemble and assemble several times, you can be familiar with the structure of the machine, and if there is a problem with the motorcycle in the future, it will be repaired by itself.

"Spark plug..."

"Cylinder..."

"Screws."

"Exhaust pipe."

"Okay, assembled."

When the motorcycle was reassembled, a few people suddenly found that there seemed to be a few more parts on the ground?

"What is this?"

Holding parts in his hand that he didn't know what it was, the group was at a loss.
