Rise from the sword

Chapter 229 Guess Who Did It?

Taiyuan Shanxi.

Inside the brightly lit headquarters of the First Army.

As the cold wind whistling endlessly in winter, time passed slowly, Yoshio Shinozuka kept his hands behind his back from the beginning to the end, staring gloomyly at the map of the whole territory of Shanxi hanging on the wall, and remained silent for a long time.

Beside him was Kazuki Yamamoto who stood with his head bowed and kept quiet.

After Chief of Staff Miyano Michiichi was shot dead, Kazuki Yamamoto also began to keep a low profile and honesty, he hugged Shinozuka Yoshio's thigh tightly, and his tone of speech was no longer as arrogant as before.

Yamamoto still has a lot of clues in his heart. With the high-ranking officers of the Japanese army he offended over the years, after losing the chief of staff who valued him, without the protection of Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, he would not be able to escape within half a month. , He has to be transferred to the reserve service and return to China for retirement.

Moreover, if he wants to develop special operations, he can only rely on Yoshio Shinozuka, who is in charge of the First Army. Only by making achievements around Shanxi can the base camp pay attention to special operations.

Therefore, in the middle of the night, even if he did not receive an order, Yamamoto took the initiative to come to compensate his commander for staying up late.

In the silence, a staff officer ran in, stood at attention, and opened the folder in his hand:
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, Captain Ono called. The railway patrol squadron he led has arrived at Wendian Village Railway Station and is currently advancing along the railway to the site where the military column was attacked."

"According to Lieutenant Ohno's report, when he arrived, there was no obvious sign of fighting in Wendian Village, but the specific situation is still unclear. He has not yet met the personnel of the Komatsu Brigade, but the railway was shelled, and the sleepers and rails were damaged. serious."

After the staff officer finished speaking in one breath, he closed the folder and continued to stand at attention.

"Have the garrisons from the two surrounding counties arrived?"

Shinozuka Yoshio withdrew his gaze from the map, looked down at his watch, and asked slowly after taking a deep breath.

The extremely gloomy face and deeply frowned brows indicated that the lieutenant general was in a very bad mood at this time.

It is now only an hour since the military column was attacked, and there are no traces of battle in Wendian Village...

The troops who went to support have arrived at Wendian Village Railway Station, but they still don't know the specific situation. Even the garrison soldiers didn't see it, and found that the railway was shelled and seriously damaged...
This situation shows that the number of enemies attacking the military column is very large, equipped with artillery, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The Komatsu brigade stationed there had to take part in the battle, even the left behind personnel at the railway station participated in the battle.

It is even possible that the Komatsu brigade is already in danger...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be no sounds of fighting, and it would be impossible for the support troops to arrive without anyone to respond.

However, is it too fast to wipe out an empire's second-line garrison brigade in just over an hour?It was even faster than the Yamazaki brigade.Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't believe what he had guessed.

"Support troops from the two counties have already departed."

The staff officer bowed his head and responded: "However, they encountered obstacles on the road. The enemy planted a large number of mines on the road leading to Wendian Village. It is estimated that it will take another hour to arrive."

"Go down."

Taking a deep breath and waving his hand, Yoshio Shinozuka told the staff officer to leave.

The staff member left with brisk steps, as if he felt a kind of joy in getting out of the sea of ​​suffering.

"Yamamoto-kun, tell me your opinion."

After the staff officer left, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kazuki Yamamoto who was always standing by his side.

"General."

Facing the only thigh at present and the future hope of the empire's special operations, Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head and put his posture very low: "With all due respect, the Komatsu Brigade in Wendian Village may be in danger."

"After the military column was attacked, Lieutenant Komatsu must lead the troops to support it immediately. Judging from the location of his barracks, it only takes less than 10 to [-] minutes for him to lead the team to the place where the military column was attacked."

"The enemy has planted landmines on the roads on both sides. It is obvious that they came prepared. It is impossible not to guard against the Komatsu brigade."

"If the Komatsu Battalion can drive away the enemy, or is chasing the enemy, they must send a telegram to explain the situation of the military column as soon as possible. Their brigade is equipped with a radio station, and the telephone line communication in Wendian Village has not been cut off."

"If the two sides are in an anxious period of fighting, they must take the initiative to send someone to contact the railway patrol for support. After all, Lieutenant Komatsu knows that the railway patrol will arrive in only an hour."

Speaking of the latter, Yamamoto's tone was also somewhat deformed.

One and a half brigades were wiped out within an hour, which made him feel unbelievable.

From his point of view, it is not difficult to do this. As long as an ambush is set up on the road, the Komatsu Battalion, which is eager to support the military column, will inevitably plunge in, and the battle will be without suspense.

This requires a large number of troops, and the firepower should not be weak.

However, when attacking the military columns and robbing supplies, they also drew a lot of troops to encircle and annihilate an empire and a half brigade,

And it was in Wendian Village.

It is only about [-] kilometers away from Taiyuan, surrounded by villages and towns where the railway stationed by the Imperial Army heavily troops passes.

This is really...

It's unbelievable.

There is a saying in the art of war that attacking by surprise is not the method of surprise!

This is simply nonsense.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his head, changed the subject and continued: "You said, who will do it? The information on the military column is highly confidential, and judging from the actions of the other party, the target is obviously aimed at the military column. "

"Although I don't know how many troops the opponent has, but it must not be less."

"It's incredible that so many troops can reach Wendian Village quietly."

The familiar movements of his own general, as well as the familiar doubts that can no longer be familiar, made Kazuki Yamamoto's mind naturally pop up a person. He said every word, with deep gnashing of teeth:
"Li Yunlong!"

That Li Yunlong who always brought his troops, appeared in the core area of ​​the imperial occupation area.

The criminal who killed his classmate and teammate Ikeda Jiuichi, the participant in the Taiyuan gold robbery, the main criminal who bombarded Taiyuan Airport, and the mastermind behind killing the chief of staff, General Miyano - Li Yunlong!

"Yes, Li Yunlong."

Rubbing his head, Shinozuka Yoshio also gritted his teeth.

Although there was no evidence, he was resolutely certain in his heart that Li Yunlong must have done it this time.Only he has the ability, has a criminal record, and will do these things.

"General, I will immediately arrange for someone to confirm this information."

Yamamoto Kazuki said.

As for how to confirm, it is very simple. They already have latent personnel in the independent regiment. Although it is difficult to obtain the independent regiment headquarters and surrounding defense deployment, it is still very simple to confirm a piece of information.

······
"Are you okay?"

Li Yunlong looked at the two guns that the monk took out, and raised his eyebrows.

At first, he thought that the monk was going to carry a grenade to blow up the armored vehicle of the devils. With the monk's skill, it was really possible to do it, but he didn't expect to use a gun to penetrate the armor of the armored vehicle.

"The Devil's armored vehicle has eight millimeters of steel plate, and it's armor steel. This is not comparable to what our own blacksmith made."

Li Yunlong accentuated his tone.

In the past, the army thought that the armored vehicles of the devils were ordinary steel plates. Later, they realized that the armor steel used for armored vehicles was not the same thing as the steel plates that the blacksmith made by himself, or the steel plates that were usually purchased.

The gap is too big.

Rifle bullets can penetrate steel plates made by blacksmiths at close range, and even steel plates purchased in the market, but they cannot penetrate armor steel of the same thickness.

"Absolutely."

The monk patted his chest and spoke confidently: "The devil's armored vehicle is only made of eight millimeters of armor steel, and the manual of my Desert Eagle clearly states that ordinary bullets can penetrate twelve millimeters of carburized armor at a distance of 100 meters. steel."

"Just let me get closer to 100 meters, and make sure to smash the little devil's armored vehicles into a sieve."

"Yo!"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, and his tone was particularly unexpected: "You monk Hua, who is the last one in cultural studies every time, can actually speak with data? Can you understand the manual?"

"Hey hey..."

The monk rubbed his head in embarrassment: "I asked the political commissar this."

After Monk Wei heard Yan Sheng's analysis at the beginning, he had an idea in his heart, and pestered Zhao Gang to let him read the manual of his pistol. Only then did he realize for the first time that the pistol in his hand is powerful. how terrible.

Moreover, it is said that there is also an armor-piercing bullet that can penetrate 200mm armor steel at a distance of [-] meters. Unfortunately, Boss Chen has not given him this bullet yet. The monk decided to ask next time.

"What do I say!"

Li Yunlong nodded suddenly.

Then, he looked at the armored vehicles that were approaching, and squinted his eyes: "Then, this time, I will hand over all the devil's armored vehicles to you. After you go back, you will have enough canned meat for a meal."

"You mean what you say?"

The monk's eyes lit up suddenly, like a hunting dog finding its prey, and his tone of voice raised three degrees.

Li Yunlong, who knows the monk well, raised the monk's morale again with a word.

"Which time did labor and management lie to you?"

"Ready to fight."

Following Li Yunlong's order, there was a series of sounds of gun bolts being pulled around.
