Rise from the sword

Chapter 324 The Targeted Gold
"Zhang Dabiao."

regiment.

Li Yunlong's voice was wild and fierce as always:

"Including the special team, you select 100 soldiers from the whole regiment. They are required to have excellent physical fitness, strong individual combat ability, excellent team cooperation, and strong will to fight devils. In addition, they must be proficient in water skills."

"This time, there is a difficult task for you."

After finishing speaking, Captain Li took a deep breath, staring darkly at a map on the table covering the north and southeast regions of China, and there was a stack of maps full on the stool beside him.

This is the information of this business.

Produced by Boss Chen, as always high-quality goods.

All the forces and terrain on the route to the Huaihe River are marked on the map.In another detailed atlas, even the mountain roads and cave villages are marked out. These maps covering hundreds of kilometers of land alone are worthwhile.

"Water?"

Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a moment before responding: "Yes."

What task requires water?To deal with the devils on the river, the devils stationed on the island?Or is it necessary to retreat or transport supplies through the river?Glancing at the map on the table, Zhang Dabiao's thoughts were racing.

"In two days, I want to see this team of 100 people."

Li Yun didn't even raise his head, and continued to stare at the map on the table: "After the team assembled, we immediately organized intensive training, mainly water-based and long-distance marching. The training time is one month."

There are still two and a half months before the mission time. Although the journey is far away, there is plenty of time.

A team of 100 people covers a distance of more than 700 kilometers, and the slowest time to arrive is only 20 days. With detailed maps and faction marks, you can go out at day and night and disguise yourself as a caravan. , will not be detected in advance.

The difficulty of this mission is on the way back.

The devil's gold was robbed, and the chief was killed. He must have sent troops to pursue him crazily, and the intelligence department had mobilized wildly. Once he made a move, it would be like a boiling oil pan, and all the dense forces around him would stir up.

At that time, how the team withdraws and how the gold is transported back is the key.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Strengthen water-based training for soldiers, and strengthen long-distance marching training... The distance of this mission should be very far, and it is much farther than Shijiazhuang last time, otherwise there is no need to specially emphasize long-distance marching training.

After all, the fighters he could select had outstanding physical abilities.Moreover, the food of the independent regiment also ensures that almost all the soldiers are in good physical fitness.

And the high probability is to do it on the river, otherwise there is no need to strengthen water training.

Judging from the expression of the head of the regiment and the rare fighters who demand strong will to fight against Japan, this task is very difficult and risky, and the whole army is in danger of being wiped out, but the harvest should be very good.

In an instant, Zhang Dabiao read a lot of information.

The risk is high, the distance is long, and the reward is great... This mission is interesting, I like it... Zhang Dabiao licked his lips.

"Hey hey..."

Seeing Zhang Dabiao's familiar expression, Li Yunlong couldn't help laughing.

Even in the past, the strength of the army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and life is much better, but Zhang Dabiao is still the same Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander who rushed to charge with a knife in his head.

"in addition···"

Li Yunlong finally said to Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng: "Five days later, Sun Desheng will come back from training at the headquarters, and then we will have a meeting together, including a hundred selected fighters."

The task is difficult, so let's hold a pre-war mobilization meeting.

As he spoke, Li Yunlong handed a piece of information to Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng.

The two of them took a look at the documents, and their eyes immediately exploded.

"Seven hundred kilometers?"

"Three tons of gold?"

Zhang Dabiao's face was full of bloodthirsty, his whole body was boiling with passion, and his face was faintly glowing red: "This task is exciting."

"Hahaha."

Li Yunlong was even more satisfied: "Go, organize the troops to start training as soon as possible."

After Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng left, Li Yunlong turned his attention to Zhao Gang who had been looking at the business information.

The regiment was silent for a while, Zhao raised his head just now, his eyes were calm:

"This mission is very dangerous. If there is an accident, I am afraid that none of them will be able to return. Before departure, we must inform the soldiers participating in this mission and let them be mentally prepared."

Commissar Zhao did not hesitate in his tone.

"Well, I have the same idea."

Li Yunlong let out a long sigh of relief, his tone full of relief.

Old Zhao's words and tone obviously fully agree with this mission.I also made preparations in my heart. For this mission, for that batch of gold, the independent group paid a relatively high price.

"Let's think about it together, how should we do this business."

Pulling over two stools, Zhao Gang looked at the intelligence information that was half a stool high.

A wise man must have a loss if he is worried.

This sentence can be understood in reverse. For one thing, the more you think about it, the better your preparations in advance, and the more plans you have to deal with the unexpected, the greater the possibility of success in the end.

With these data including terrain, power, weather, etc., Zhao Gang is confident that, in cooperation with Li Yunlong, an officer with extremely rich actual combat experience, he can formulate the most complete predetermined plan and minimize the risk for the troops performing the mission.

"It's a big project."

Li Yunlong clicked his tongue.

Spanning a distance of more than 700 kilometers, the complex thread-like power situation along the way, and a team of more than 100 people, want to clear a retreat path from here in advance, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

"such a pity."

The two spread out the materials on the table, and Li Yunlong suddenly sighed.

"Hey···"

Zhao Gang also sighed.

Both of them understood what the sigh meant.

Boss Chen has never been in contact with the higher-ups. They also brought Kong Jie and Ding Wei over, but the other party still only does business with the independent group. , and even said that only the independent regiment will pay the price if it participates in the battle.

Looking back over the past year, every time I do business with Boss Chen, it is a one-man show of the independent group.

This made the two of them a little bit hesitant about the business.

If the business is handed over to the headquarters, let the headquarters coordinate and mobilize the strength of the entire army, with such information, it will be much easier.

But the two dare not.

Obviously, that Boss Chen seems to have some restrictions. If the future business is lost, the loss will be really big, not just three tons of gold, some military equipment can make up for it.

After all, it was agreed that in a year and a half, tanks would be on the scene.

And it is foreseeable that the provision of weapons will become more and more important and powerful in the future.

And the information provided by Boss Chen.

"That's enough."

Li Yunlong let out a heavy breath: "The days now are much better than before."

"Too."

Zhao Gang nodded.

In the next few days, both of them planned this business at the regiment headquarters. During the period, they fell asleep when they were tired, and continued when they woke up. As for the independent regiment, they were transported to Shou County in an orderly manner.

Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng gathered troops and organized training.

During this period, Zhang Dabiao also occasionally participated in the discussion of the combat plan.

One morning, just as Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were about to continue to perfect their battle plan, the metal communicator in Li Yunlong's arms rang.

"Ok?"

Leader Li frowned, a little surprised.

Why are you looking for him at this time?

······
Taiyuan.

Kazuki Yamamoto's small headquarters.

"Your Majesty."

A special forces member reported to Yamamoto:

"Through the analysis of the navy's transportation information, it can be inferred that the navy's batch of gold will be transported to Lianyungang via the Yangtze River in two and a half months, and then transported back to the mainland by naval warships."

"The specific ship still needs to be investigated, but the target has been roughly determined."

Yamamoto, who was ordered by Shinozuka Yoshio to investigate Chen Fan, has a lot of intelligence in his hands.

"Okay, I know."

Yamamoto waved his hand, signaling the team members to put down the materials and leave.

Looking at the information on the table, Kazuki Yamamoto fell into deep thought.

After the failure of the advance team, the enthusiasm of the top leaders of the North China Front Army for special operations seemed to be poured with water, and it was completely extinguished, and a series of orders to form special forces were cancelled.

The great situation suddenly collapsed.

This frustrates Yamamoto.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong's previous two attacks were still highly valued by high-level officials, and anti-special operations training continued. His special teams were often transferred by troops from various places to conduct actual combat exercises. Commander, the head of the brigade treated him well, and his superficial status has not declined.

But in fact, these bigwigs have dropped several levels of importance to him.

As for Li Yunlong's use of special operations siege tactics to break a county, after the combat report was handed in, it only made the top management pay more attention to anti-special operations. His special team had another training program, and he had another one to summarize The anti-infiltration combat outline of the county is nothing more than that.

"..."

Staring at the information in his hand in silence for a long time, Yamamoto suddenly sighed.

thing.

Why did things suddenly go wrong?
His purpose is to promote special operations in the Imperial Army.

But why, the Eighth Route Army has formed a special force and launched many classic special operations, while the Empire has vigorously promoted the defense of special operations.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

The empire vigorously promotes special operations, but the Eighth Route Army is in a hurry to carry out anti-special operations?
Where is the problem?

In order to improve his right to speak and make the top management pay more attention to special operations, Yamamoto set his sights on the navy's batch of gold.

The Eighth Route Army has nothing to do for the time being.

The headquarters of that group didn't know where they were hiding, and there was no way to find out, and even if they knew, it would be difficult to infiltrate. The densely packed troops on the other side spread their vigilance, and the probability of being discovered was too high.

This is clearly impossible without detailed maps and troop intelligence.

In comparison, it is obvious that the navy seems to be a little easier to deal with.

If he can get this batch of gold without taking the initiative to cause conflicts, even if the matter is exposed afterwards, the top army officials will be happy to keep him, and they can also greatly increase their voice.

After all, it was a navy red deer, who else would steal the navy if it didn't?It's not enough to be robbed.

Moreover, three tons of gold is a lot of money for an army that lacks military expenditures.

only···
Yamamoto frowned.

He really had no way of transporting this batch of navy gold even if he sent a special team to grab it.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go to Shinozuka Yoshio.

As a lieutenant general, the opponent has much stronger connections and influence than him.Able to mobilize the southern garrison to intercept naval ships transporting gold.

After all, the main force of the navy is in the mainland, and the main force in the Yangtze River region is still the army. Just find any reason, such as searching for spies or something, intercept the navy ships, and grab them.

As soon as he walked into the headquarters, he saw his general at the first glance, and then looked at the staff in front of him. Yamamoto shut his mouth sharply, and then stood silently in the corner with his head bowed.

In the headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshio's face was gloomy, obviously in an extremely bad mood.

"idiot···"

"A bunch of trash."

The staff officer silently picked up the documents on the ground, then bowed his head and left.

"General?"

Yamamoto asked, "This is?"

Facing his capable general, Shinozuka Yoshio took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart:

"Recently, around Taiyuan, the guerrillas organized several counterattacks and opened several large openings in the blockade area. Several base areas that were originally blocked were connected, and many fortresses and villages were captured."

"Even the railway has been cut off and it will take at least half a month to recover."

Yamamoto frowned suddenly.

Although the advance team plan failed, after General Gangcun came to power, he vigorously developed cannibalism tactics, which made the imperial army still have the upper hand, but they could not achieve the intended goal, and could only weaken them and eliminate the guerrillas.

Why did this suddenly launch a counterattack?

Even broke through layers of defense and destroyed the railway line?
"According to the report from the front line, the opponent mainly conducts raids at night, and has a lot of [-]-type infantry artillery with strong firepower. The front line was caught off guard and a big hole was torn open."

Shinozuka Yoshio's tone was gloomy.

"A lot of ninety-two styles, with strong firepower."

Yamamoto's heart suddenly creaked.

The problem is not the loss, it's just a few base areas together, the railway was broken once, it's a small matter, it's not worth the general's anger.

The real problem lies in the sudden appearance of the highly powerful Type [-].

The Empire has strict control over the Type [-] infantry artillery. Even if it is captured, it must be destroyed as much as possible, and the artillery is strictly ordered to destroy the artillery shells. Even if it is captured, it is extremely rare.

Then the only way for the guerrillas to obtain a lot of Type [-] and shells is...
that person.

General, let's discuss how to grab the navy gold... Yamamoto faintly felt his scalp tingling.

He never wanted to investigate the matter again.

······
Independence Corps.

"This is."

Li Yunlong who came out looked surprised at the several machines and equipment and a pile of supplies on the open space.

"This time the business is very difficult and the risk is high, so I decided to deliver the goods in advance."

Patting the supplies and machines beside him, Chen Fan said.

This batch of materials was to reward Li Yunlong for capturing Shou County, but it had to be distributed slowly, and the distribution began after the independent regiment entered Shou County, otherwise he would have given it to Li Yunlong directly.

"Ha ha····"

When Li Datuan saw this batch of machines and raw materials, he immediately beamed: "Brother Chen, I really thank you this time."

The opportunity to be taken by the brigade commander came back.

　There are manuscripts saved, and the code word speed is a little faster. I can add a little more in a few days...
