Rise from the sword

Chapter 178 They are coming!
"Yamamoto-kun, have you heard about the martyrdom of Yamazaki Nakasa?"

At Taiyuan Headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshio looked up at Kazuki Yamamoto who walked into the headquarters, his tone was very calm.

A brigade of 500 people was annihilated, and the jade fragments of an imperial lieutenant were insignificant to Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in charge of an army of tens of thousands.

The Yamazaki Brigade was just a bait used to catch the Eighth Route Army. The whole incident was just that the bait was eaten by the fish, but the fish did not catch it.Then just change another bait and continue.

The annihilation of a brigade did not affect his overall combat plan, and the suppression of the Eighth Route Army's base areas was still going on.

"I already know."

Yamamoto nodded expressionlessly, with a strong sarcasm in his tone:
"Like most of the great men in the empire, Yamazaki Zhongzuo, who calls himself the God of War, is arrogant and arrogant. With only a few hundred troops, he penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland. There is no reason for him to be invincible."

"really····"

Taking a deep look at Kazuki Yamamoto, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly:

"The position of Zhongzuo Yamazaki was too deep into the Taihang Mountains, and he also seriously deviated from the planned combat route. The support troops could not arrive quickly. This is also an important reason why he died for the country."

"And he also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army."

From the time when the Yamazaki Brigade was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army to the time when Yamazaki Nakasama was broken, it took only one day and one night. This speed was beyond Shinozuka Yoshio's imagination.He always thought that with the deployment of Guan Jianan and Yamazaki, he would be able to last for two or three days.

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka, a real power faction with a high status in the Imperial Japanese Army, rubbed his head with some headaches: "It is Li Yunlong and his independent regiment who launched the final blow from the Eighth Route Army."

Compared with the complete annihilation of a brigade, this troubled him more.

Hearing Li Yunlong, he thought of his flying brigade with only a quarter left, and the one ton of gold he had managed to accumulate.Hearing Li Yunlong, he had a headache, and it got worse and worse.

"This person really deserves a little attention from the imperial army."

Under Yamamoto's paralyzed face, there was also a slight change.

He continued:
"From the surroundings of Taiyuan Airport, this person has strong tactical command ability, and is very good at using terrain and traps. Coupled with the excellent weapons he doesn't know where they come from, the combat effectiveness of a regiment of this person is equivalent to that of a superman in the empire. Brigade."

A supergroup is equivalent to a six-squadron infantry group with cavalry squadrons.

"Also, this person trained his subordinates quite well."

Yamamoto thought of the three messengers he failed to ambush and capture alive.He also had to admit that these communications soldiers were highly vigilant, determined, decisive and brave, and they were all elite, not inferior to the veterans of the permanent division.

Having said this, Yamamoto frowned suddenly.

Chen Fan.

This is the person who provided Li Yunlong with weapons and ammunition.

But so far, he has used various means to mobilize the intelligence system of the entire empire, but he still failed to investigate this person, and even except for the Li Yunlong regiment, no one and no force had contacted this person.

It made him wonder...

Is there such a person!

"However, the jade pieces of the Yamazaki Brigade and the martyrdom of Yamazaki Lieutenant Commander are still meaningful."

Throwing Li Yunlong out of his mind, Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes flashed:
"The mountainous area around the first line of sky, it is certain that this is the rear ordnance base of the Eighth Route Army. They have built an arsenal here, which can manufacture a small amount of weapons and ammunition."

"According to the information provided by Tegoco, its headquarters seems to have been stationed near the arsenal. Judging from the speed of troop deployment by the opponent to encircle and suppress the Yamazaki Brigade, this information should be correct."

"Have you discovered the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?"

Hearing this sentence, Yamamoto's eyes lit up.

Ever since he failed to attack Daxia Bay, the Imperial Army had lost news of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and had been unable to confirm its location, which was why he never dispatched.

"Correct!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded: "In addition, Chief of Staff Miyano officially informed me that the North China Front Army attaches great importance to your special operations, and has dispatched nearly [-] officers from all over the world to form an observation group. The brigade commander Hattori Naomi The general personally led the team and arrived in Taiyuan a week later."

"This time, you are the protagonist, they are the audience, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is the stage."

"Although my secret service team is not a singer at the Kabuki Hall in Tokyo, nor is it good at acting, and fighting is not for acting."

Kazuki Yamamoto had a displeased expression at first, then he raised his head and said sharply, "But since it is the request of Chief of Staff Miyano, then I will put on a big show and use the blood of the Eighth Route Army headquarters to revolutionize the tactics of the North China Front Army, but... ··”

"Just ask for anything."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kazuki Yamamoto who stopped.

"General, then I'll be straight."

Yamamoto stood at attention and looked directly at Yoshio Shinozuka: "To put on a good show, I need the cooperation of the entire First Army, that is, the First Army must fight around my special agent team."

"of course."

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled: "This time, you are the protagonist, and the First Army is the supporting role."

He is also looking forward to this battle.

The new tactics implemented by the First Army were very effective at the beginning, greatly reducing the scope of the opponent's base area, and also eliminated many armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, but as the battle progressed, things began to develop in a bad direction.

The strong tenacity of the Eighth Route Army was once again demonstrated. After his army mopped up, the base area popped up like a spring after the rain. Although the area and strength were weaker than the current sweep, those damned only those people still unrepentantly supported this The resistance of the guerrillas will not take long before these Eighth Route Army will develop again.

He doesn't have the strength to keep mopping up, no matter in terms of materials or troops.

The empire wanted to use North China as its rear, not a big hole.

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head heavily.

"in addition···"

When Yamamoto was about to leave to prepare for the battle, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly said, "Chief of Staff Miyano will also be with him this time. His purpose is to investigate the mysterious man Chen Fan who provided Li Yunlong with weapons."

Speaking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio paused, rubbed his head before continuing:
"The weapons provided by this person have already caused serious harm to the law and order in the North China region of the empire, and intelligence has shown that the information leaked by the empire was also provided by this person, which has already attracted the attention of the headquarters."

"Will Chief of Staff Miyano go with the observation group?"

Kazuki Yamamoto asked.

"No, Chief of Staff Miyano's investigation is up to him."

Shinozuka Yoshio replied.

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio added: "Since Chief of Staff Miyano attaches great importance to your special operations, he may watch from nearby."

For the special warfare advocated by Kazuki Yamamoto, the high-level opinions of the entire North China Front Army are not unified. Although he didn't oppose it, he didn't support him either. Only Chief of Staff Miyano always supported him.

······
Somewhere on the top of an unnamed mountain, the protagonist Chen Fan looked at the system panel that opened automatically.

"Small Business Settlement"

"A total of fifteen Japanese pilots were killed"

"Reward price: [-] points per pilot, [-] barrels of canned meat, [-] tons of grains"

"Accumulated 30 points, 150 barrels of canned meat, and [-] tons of grains."

"Note: Cereals can be freely switched to rice, corn, flour"

"30 points? Not bad! Not bad!"

The sudden 30 points made Chen Fan very satisfied.

Although attacking Taiyuan and snatching gold was not a business issued by the system, the actions of Chief Li Datuan's bombardment of the airport still triggered a long-term piecemeal business, offering rewards to devil pilots.

But why settle now?
With doubts, he looked at the detailed explanation later, and immediately understood.

Commander Li Datuan bombarded Taiyuan Airport, killed fourteen pilots, and one devil was seriously injured and was hanging in the hospital. Unfortunately, the medical technology of this era is not good. to settle the task.

"However, this number is too coincidental, just enough to upgrade."

He looked at the experience bar, and there happened to be only 30 points short of the full mark: "It seems that after the next mission, I can exchange materials and start the main mission."

System upgrades need to consume points.

Before closing the system interface, Chen Fan glanced at the lower right corner.

"Time to start next business: 5 hours"

"Let's go, go to deliver the goods, and wait until the independent group, the specific content of the mission will come out."

With a mutter, Chen Fan was carried down the mountain by his followers.

······
At the same time, Shijiazhuang.

"Want to watch Kazuki Yamamoto performing special tactics?"

Colonel Sanhao looked at the order in his hand, showing hesitation.

Because of the Shuangfeng Town incident last time, he was not only severely scolded by his superiors, but also removed from the post of Shijiazhuang Police Commander. Today, Sanhao is just an ordinary captain. The black history of failure in pursuit and suppression, I am afraid that there will be no hope of promotion forever.

"Correct."

The ghost who came to deliver the letter nodded: "This time, it is an observation organized by Chief of Staff Miyano."

The order to participate in the observation group this time was notified by a special person.

"Must participate?"

Sanhao Dazuo didn't want to go.

Although he didn't know Kazuki Yamamoto, he knew that the Ikeda Jiuichi who died in Shuangfeng Town, his territory, more than half a year ago was his classmate and subordinate, and he was highly valued by Yamamoto.

At the beginning, because of the death of Ikeda Kyuichi, Yamamoto also personally dispatched.

Even later, this person led a round of investigations into unwarranted intelligence leaks. Many staff officers were dismissed, and even he was almost affected.

With this layer of barriers, Miho Dazuo didn't want to see Kazuki Yamamoto at all, let alone watch Yamamoto perform any special operations.

He is just a captain, and he is also the captain of the security squadron. His mission is to maintain law and order in the city. There are no guerrillas in the city, only the underground party, which is even more difficult to deal with than Xiaoqiang.

Is it possible that he is going to learn special warfare and then use it on the underground party?
"Yes, Chief of Staff Miyano's order cannot be refused for any reason, unless the invitee is unable to act."

The devil who sent the letter strangled Sanhao Dazuo's thoughts.

"Hi."

Helpless Sanhao Dazuo could only nod.

At the same time, in Shou County, the team leader Hei Dao and many people also had a headache looking at the invitation order they had just received.

However, his invitation order was not issued by Chief of Staff Miyano, but by Shinozuka Yoshio.

The lieutenant general was very dissatisfied with the many lieutenant commanders of the black island who had suffered a lot from confronting Li Yunlong for such a long time but had never made any big moves.So let this one go to the viewing group to watch a play, and let another lieutenant assistant take over his troops.

"Do I have to go?"

He also asked the same question.

During this period of time, many people in Heidao, who had suffered enough from Li Yunlong, did not want to join any observation group at all.

Attacking the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army feels unreliable when you think about it.

After fighting for so many years, they have never even seen the shadow of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. They said that they wiped out 10,000+10,000+ guerrillas every year, and then they wiped out for so many years in a row, and they wiped out more and more.

"Unless you are seriously injured or seriously ill and unable to act, you must participate."

The devil who delivered the letter said, "This is an order from Lieutenant General Shinozuka."

"Hi!"

Many people in Hei Dao said that they were weak.

It was also a time, Taiyuan, and another devil Zhongzuo was completely different.

"General, I want to join the observation group."

Outside the headquarters, Iwago Hideji said to Shinozuka Yoshio.

"Why?"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the captain of the Lieutenant Commander of the Airport Defense Brigade.

Although Taiyuan Airport was bombarded by Li Yunlong and the Taiyuan Flying Brigade suffered heavy losses, he did not severely punish Iwago Hideo. After all, he was not responsible for this battle, and there was no mistake in command. It was just that his salary was deducted, he was severely criticized, and then his rank promotion assessment was cancelled.

He is still a powerful lieutenant commander in charge of the airport defense.

"According to General Yamamoto, this operation will target the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."

"As the elite of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong's independent regiment will definitely participate in this battle, so I want to go and see. Of course, if I can lead the brigade to participate in the battle, then I will not participate."

As the garrison brigade of Taiyuan Airport, Hideji Iwago seldom went out to fight.

"Your task is to defend the airport and prepare for the enemy's next attack."

Rubbing his head, Shinozuka Yoshio refused.

Although the loss of more than 50 planes and a dozen pilots made him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, but this loss is actually very slight for the current Great Japanese Empire as a whole.

In a few months, his 50st Army Air Group will once again be back to a size of more than [-] aircraft.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned from the pain, strengthened the airport's defenses, and the surrounding four kilometers are all alert areas.Within ten kilometers nearby, a large number of guard posts have been set up.

"General Shinozuka, please agree."

Iwago Hideji bowed his head and begged.

"Ok."

Shinozuka Yoshio finally agreed; "However, you can only act with the observation group."

"Hi! Thank you General."

Iwago Hideji quickly thanked him.

　I'm writing a supplementary update, but I'm sure I can't finish writing today, my hand is weak!
