Yamamoto didn't know what was going on on his head.

Anyway, he is very happy at this moment, even if Baoding doesn't want to see him at all, he is a big Zuo, and he hasn't even had a reception for a long time, and his happy mood has not been affected in any way.

After arriving in Baoding, he launched an investigation at the gate of the city where the previous incident occurred.

With the style of a big sake, in this chaotic moment, Yamamoto went in and out of the scene freely and got first-hand information about the scene.

The next day, Yamamoto, who was still ignored, found a house in Baoding City, and after letting the accompanying team members guard the guard, he began to analyze the clues and information he had investigated.

With his top-notch intelligence analysis ability, combined with the information investigated, he has basically figured out the whole process of this attack.

Eventually, he came to a conclusion:

"This was a premeditated attack..."

"The attackers must have known the information about the arrival of Lieutenant General Iwamatsu, and prepared for an ambush on the road at the city gate in advance."

"Moreover, the person who made this attack must be a habitual offender who is well versed in attacks and is well versed in the loopholes of the Empire's vigilance system."

Speaking of this, Yamamoto's tone became very solemn:

"Start at the city gate, this is the slowest time for Lieutenant General Yan Song's convoy, and it is also the time when the convoy is the most dense, and the explosion has the best killing effect."

"And the city gate is close to Baoding, where heavy troops are stationed, the garrison brigade has also cleared the people around the scene, and there are a large number of garrison brigades standing guard around the road, which is the safest place, but because of this, all parties are very lax."

"It confirms the old Chinese saying that the safest place and the most dangerous place are usually the same place."

"Conventional mines were not used, so the minesweepers who went ahead did not work, and instead of shooting, they directly disguised the super-large yield explosives and stacked them on the side of the road·····"

"Judging by the power of the explosion, the total amount of explosives used by the enemy is close to one hundred kilograms."

Thinking about this, Yamamoto fell into complete silence.

A member of the Shaozuo team beside him watched his captain fall silent at first, then his face became more and more solemn, and finally even a cold sweat appeared faintly on his forehead, and more and more.

"Your Excellency?"

This Shao Zuo team member couldn't help but ask.

He was the reserve commander that Yamamoto intended to cultivate.

"Who the hell are these attackers?"

With a long sigh of relief, Yamamoto's tone was extremely dignified.

He was just thinking about a question, if he was in charge of General Iwamatsu's defense, could he avoid this attack, he thought for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

Even if he personally went to the scene to search, I am afraid that the final outcome will not change at all.

Stacking a large number of explosives, disguised directly on the side of the road, directly in sight, completely hit the hole in the imperial alert system, which is absolutely impossible to detect unless it is known in advance.

Even if it's him, it's bound to be missed.

The complex environment at the gate of Baoding makes this move extremely difficult to guard against.

Moreover, what is even more troublesome is that once this trick is promoted, it will cause great pressure on the future vigilance system of the empire, there is no cement road here, it is all dirt and gravel roads in the mountains, the surrounding environment is complex, there are so many rocks and broken wood on the roadside, one by one to guard and clean, how much energy is wasted?

Tens of kilograms of explosives, separated by more than a dozen meters, can also cause devastating damage to Imperial transport trucks.

For example, this time, with the explosion point as the center, the soldiers of the garrison brigade dozens of meters around, three trucks, and more than 60 soldiers in an armored car were all shattered, and there were even more injured, including a large number of seriously injured and disabled.

“······”

Yamamoto rubbed his forehead.

There was no such thing before.

At that time, the guerrillas did not have this strength, they were seriously short of explosives, and even black powder could not meet the consumption, let alone dozens of kilograms of high explosives used up at one time, but now, the strength of the other side has come up, and they can produce explosives by themselves, and this trick has come out.

What's more troublesome is that he doesn't know how to guard against this trick yet.

Cleaning up one by one? Don't be kidding, I don't know how many large pieces of gravel are piled up next to the highway, or hundreds of kilograms of explosives are directly buried a few meters away from the road, and when the convoy comes, it will be directly detonated, how to prevent it?

"Your Excellency, I think..."

Seeing that his own Dazuo had a headache, the devil Shaozuo on the side spoke:

"Although it is difficult for us to find explosives, the guerrillas' means of detonation are detonated by pulling the rope, and the distance must not be too far.

"Oh?"

Yamamoto's eyes lit up a little.

He hadn't thought of it before.

It's troublesome, but it's better than being able to clean them one by one.

"Yo Si."

Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction: "Motoda-kun, your discovery is very good. ”

Yamamoto became more and more satisfied with himself, the newly selected leader of the first combat team, whose command ability was stronger than that of the previous ones, and he had a high degree of autonomy and a high level of understanding of special operations.

I just hope that I won't just be on the battlefield with broken jade.

"Let's go, let's go back to Taiyuan."

After putting away the papers, Yamamoto got up and left the room.

Yamamoto stayed here to investigate the scene, and there was another purpose, to clear General Shinozuka's suspicions, and this time someone must have made a fuss that General Shinozuka had planned this matter in order to stay in the First Army, but as long as there is no evidence, coupled with his investigation of the scene, it will not have any impact on General Shinozuka.

A lieutenant general with real power is not one who doubts that he can be brought down.

"On the Baoding side, the attacker was not caught, but traces of the attacker left at the scene were found, and they found the location of the attacker's detonation, which was only 100 meters away from the explosion location."

Before leaving, Yamamoto received a message.

"A hundred meters?"

Yamamoto was a little surprised.

Baoding's reaction was not slow, after the explosion, thousands of troops in the city were dispatched to open a blockade along Baoding City, and the surrounding strongholds also blocked the road, but in this way they did not catch the attacker who was at a distance of 100 meters at that time.

This took him by surprise.

······

Just when Yamamoto left Shou County, Zhang Dabiao had already marched overnight with his team to a place more than 170 miles away from Baoding.

"Captain."

As soon as they arrived at a mountain col, a few plainclothes soldiers came out of the mountain forest.

This is a supply unit prepared in advance by the independent regiment, and the hard food and fodder of the big mules are received here to prevent the physical exhaustion of the big mules due to the rapid march.

"Today, during the day, let's rest here."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the sky.

At this time, it was still a sunny day, the sky was cloudless, and there was no sign of rain or snow.

"Prepare water and fodder for the mules, unload the equipment and baggage, and prepare some hot food for the team members."

He continued.

In order to get out of the pursuit of the Baoding devils as soon as possible, Zhang Dabiao led people to maneuver at high speed for 14 hours.

After arranging the guard, twenty members of the team slept in the woods.

In the afternoon, everyone woke up, all in good spirits, and there was no sign of fatigue.

Although they have experienced more than a night of high-intensity rapid marching, the soldiers who participated in this mission have all experienced the previous Southern Devil Gold Incident, and have adapted to this kind of intense march, just one day is naturally not a problem, coupled with long-term diet and meat intake, the physical reserves are abundant, and they will naturally recover with a little rest.

"Go ahead and rest, let's go in the evening."

Looking at the sun still hanging high in the sky, Zhang Dabiao said.

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's easy to be discovered by devils when they go out during the day, so Zhang Dabiao is used to marching at night, and if he has a detailed map, he can also guarantee that he won't get lost.

"What the hell is the weather..."

Suddenly, Wang Gensheng, who was sitting next to Zhang Dabiao, scolded.

At this time, it was already late March, close to April, and it stands to reason that the spring rain should come down, but let alone rain, there is not even a cloud in the sky. Wang Gensheng, who has been in Shanxi for several years, knows that the weather is very abnormal.

"Hey..."

A soldier on the side suddenly sighed, his tone full of worry: "Yes, this ghost weather, if it doesn't rain a little, the crops in the field will have no way to live, what will the people do this year." ”

The one who spoke was a soldier in charge of logistics and supplies, who should be over forty years old, his face was covered with wind and frost, his back could be seen slightly hunched, and his body bones were relatively thin.

The old soldier carried a captured 38 cover on his back, a row of bullets pinned to his waist, and a few large German tumors.

After taking the old soldier and sending it over, Zhang Dabiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Before joining the army, this must have been a farmer who worked in the fields all year round, and listening to the accent, this old soldier should be from Hebei.

And at such an age, his body is relatively thin, and he can still enter the army, even if it is only a transport unit, but this is also a regular combat unit of the independent regiment, and this person must have extraordinary ability.

"I'm afraid the situation this year is even worse than last year."

Speaking of the weather, Zhang Dabiao is also full of worries.

Last year, there was a big drought in Hebei, and with the assistance of Boss Chen, they took in a large number of victims and ordinary people in their bases, but this year there is still a big drought that has not been alleviated, and I am afraid that this year's situation is even worse than last year, and I am afraid that there will be more victims.

I'm afraid Boss Chen can't save him alone.

Although since last year, the General Headquarters has called on all localities to open up wasteland for cultivation and self-sufficiency, and it is said that there has been a bumper harvest in Nanniwan in the border area, and not only can they be self-sufficient in grain, but they even have a surplus to support the rest of the base areas, but on the whole, many troops are still seriously short of food.

The same is true for the common people, many of whom have no food to eat.

God doesn't rain, there is no water to irrigate the land, no matter how much you open up the wasteland, it's useless, not to mention that there are devils making trouble.

Even the independent regiment has now begun to reduce its food, saving food for other troops.

"Say, can we..."

Speaking of this, Wang Gensheng suddenly lowered his tone: "Take advantage of this time to get more food?" There are more devils in Jiaoxian, there must be ·····"

"Get more food?"

Zhang Dabiao's heart moved, he knew the meaning of Wang Gensheng's words.

After the Chinese New Year this year, Boss Chen came to the regiment again and adjusted the price for the previous business, and now, the independent regiment can get food by killing devil pilots, tank soldiers, automobile soldiers and other devil technical troops, and it is a large amount of food.

The price code is several times higher than before.

If you don't want fine grains, you want coarse grains, and you have to mix some coarse grains such as rice bran and sorghum with some stones, and a devil car soldier can exchange more than 30,000 catties of grain. If it's a tankman or a pilot, it's even more.

This is much faster than clearing the land to get food.

Now one acre of land, a season of up to more than 300 catties of grain, just kill a devil car soldier, that is equivalent to more than 100 acres of land. Although they are all coarse grains, and there are even some stones, they can be eaten after sifting, they can be fed, and they can survive, which is enough for a village to survive the famine year and have a surplus.

This is also one of the reasons why the regiment decided to pay a big price this time and spend 80 kilograms of explosives to blow up the rock pine.

Eighty kilograms of explosives, while killing Yan Song, will definitely be able to kill a lot of devil tanks and automobile soldiers by the way, and can get a lot of food to support the common people, other troops and base areas.

According to his estimates, this time at least a dozen devil tank soldiers and automobile soldiers were killed, and nearly 100 tons of coarse grain were obtained, which could save thousands of people.

"Okay, when the time comes, try to kill as many devil tank soldiers, car soldiers or something."

"If there is nothing to be gained in Cangyunling tomorrow, then we will look for opportunities near Jiaoxian."

Zhang Dabiao exhaled.

The troops now need a large amount of food, the more the better, and the news he heard from the political commissar is that the shortage of grain in the base areas is not more than tens of thousands of tons?

On the side, the old soldier heard the words of Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng, and his cloudy eyes flashed.

Boss Chen knows about the business of devil pilots, tank soldiers, automobile soldiers, and soldiers of the independent regiment, and this old soldier naturally knows that an old farmer who has worked hard for decades and has experienced famine has an unimaginable attachment to food.

Night gradually fell, and under twilight, Zhang Dabiao led the team to Cangyunling in the direction of Jiaoxian.

······

Jiao County.

Twilight.

Major General Tano of the devil only arrived in Jiaoxian in the afternoon, but because of a problem with the radio station on the road, he arrived in Jiaoxian to find out that his boss, Lieutenant General Iwamatsu, had been killed.

"Baga, who did it?"

Tano, who received the news, was immediately furious, and slapped the staff officer who came to report the news in the face: "What is the garrison in Baoding for?" Are they all rice buckets? And the accompanying escorts, are they all rubbish? ”

If everything goes well, then after Lieutenant General Iwamatsu became the commander of the First Army, as long as he fought a little and gained some credit, he would be promoted from the commander of the brigade of the major general to the position of the commander of the division, but now with the jade of Lieutenant General Iwamatsu, everything is over.

No wonder he was furious.

"Hey."

The staff officer didn't know how to respond, and he didn't know the specific situation, so he had to bow his head.

"Tomorrow, the whole team will go to Cangyunling, and then directly transfer to Baoding."

Major General Tano said sharply at the end.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head.
