Rise from the sword

Chapter 82: The Closing, Part [-]

Yangquan.

It was dark and night fell.

The Japanese military headquarters was brightly lit.

"Your Excellency, Colonel Ohara, I received a report from the Middle Colonel Ohara that the Eighth Route Army in the north had fled into the mountains. He asked if we should continue the pursuit?" A staff officer walked into the headquarters and reported to Shinji Kasa.

"Don't chase, let him maintain law and order in the north and restore order as soon as possible"

Standing in front of the map, Shinji Kasa waved his hand expressionlessly without turning his head, indicating that there was no need to pursue him.

Chase a fart?

I have been fighting the Eighth Route Army for several years. Unless a circle is formed, who has ever caught them in the mountains?

I am afraid that no one will catch up, and more than a dozen casualties will be chased.

"How about the damage to the north?" Kasa Shinji asked.

"The loss of personnel is still being counted, but the known fallen Imperial Army exceeds [-]. Five fortresses and military stations have been destructively damaged, and the telephone network to the north has been almost completely destroyed." After a pause, the staff officer said.

"Statistics as soon as possible"

"Hi" The staff bowed his head and left the headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the chasing troops in the south reported that through the analysis of the footprints of the mountain roads, the Eighth Route Army has jumped out of our army's encirclement and has now left the Yangquan area."

Another staff officer came in, and another bad news.

"Notify the pursuit troops in the south to withdraw..." Kasa Shinji still did not turn his head, his face was expressionless.

Expected.

He withdrew more than half of the encircling troops, and the encircling circle was naturally closed, and it was inevitable for the enemy to escape.

"Hi"

After the staff officer left, Kasa Shinji looked at the map on the wall and recalled today's events. A strong sense of grievance made him extremely irritable, and he couldn't suppress it.

Want to hit people, even want to kill.

The one I want to kill most is the Eighth Route Army, all of them will be killed, and none will remain.

"idiot···"

Finally, he lifted the documents on the table with one hand, kicked the table with one foot, and yelled out the guards who entered the headquarters: "Get out!"

"Kazuo-kun"

After a while, Yamamoto Kazuki walked in with the same expressionless face.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki was also in a bad mood.

Knowing that his friend and comrade-in-arms was attacked and killed by an Eighth Route Army, he planned to take revenge in person, and even called in the Air Force to investigate through his relationship, but the ability of this small group of Eighth Route Army troops was beyond his imagination.

The sound hit the east and west, feinted a shot, mobilized the chasing troops, and then turned back suddenly, and the unimaginable speed of the marching on foot, unexpectedly created a loophole and drilled out of the encirclement.

This made him vaguely see a shadow of special operations.

However, due to information and weather, snow floods blocked the road, and his special team failed to catch up with the Eighth Route Army.

In particular, the few documents that were finally seized made his anger reach a peak.

"Your Excellency Yamamoto, I'm sorry, the Eighth Route Army attacked me north of Yangquan, and I had to withdraw my troops to maintain law and order." Seeing Yamamoto Iki, Kasa Shinji quickly restrained his emotions.

With this master's means, background and relationship, he is really untouchable.

"It's okay, Jiazuo-kun, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

Yamamoto looked gloomy, took out the dozen documents and translations he had seized, and his voice was indifferent:

"This attack is not just the Eighth Route Army. I am afraid that there is also a large force within the Imperial Japanese Army."

"Look at these documents, these were left behind by the guerrillas when they were strafed by reconnaissance planes. After on-the-spot comparison, it has been confirmed that they were not deliberately discarded by the enemy."

"document?"

Kasa Shinji looked at the documents on the table.

The documents are divided into two stacks, one is the original and the other is the translation. They correspond to each other and he can understand.

On the first page is the information about the garrison in Yangquan, which includes the specific troops and garrison positions in Yangquan, even the name and rank of the commander, as well as the weapon configuration and roster of the troops.

Turning page by page, Kasa Shinji's face became more and more gloomy.

Without speaking, Kasa Shinji quickly took out a stack of documents from the filing cabinet of the headquarters and compared them.

"This is information from ten days ago..."

"There's nothing wrong with this information, it's completely correct, and I don't even have some information here..." Kasa Shinji said in an angry tone with fear.

who is it?

What is the power?
Can you get such detailed and accurate information on the garrison in Yangquan?
Fourteen pages of the document, of which nine pages are about Yangquan, and from the number of pages at the bottom of the document, the complete information may contain the entire Yangquan garrison. Such detailed and comprehensive information is impossible for one person or even a few people. To get it, a large number of staff members must cooperate to collect it completely, and even the participants must be Yangquan with local staff involved.

Moreover, there is also information about the garrison in Shijiazhuang...

At the end, Kasa Shinji's eyes were full of fear, and cold sweat dripped from his back and forehead...

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him..."

On the side, Yamamoto squinted his eyes and ruled out the suspicion of Shinji Kasa, and he quietly locked the pistol safety hidden in his hand.

"Yamamoto-kun, I will temporarily detain all the staff of the wing, and please hand over these documents to our North China Front Army Headquarters." Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Shinji Kasa said.

These documents involve Yangquan of the First Army and Shijiazhuang of the Second Army. This is not only a problem that the First Army can solve.

"I'll bring back the First Army first"

Yamamoto shook his head: "Do you think anyone will believe you if you bring some information back to the North China Front Army Headquarters?"

Kasa Shinji was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

The [-]st Army and the [-]nd Army have been at odds for a long time. They often attacked each other at the North China Front Army meeting. The information on Shijiazhuang was only one page, and they could not produce sufficient evidence to prove that it was left by the enemy. It must be considered a conspiracy of the First Army.

"Please Mr. Yamamoto make sure to investigate this time," Shinji Kasa pleaded with his head down.

This kind of thing, he is not qualified to participate as a co-leader.

"I will"

Taking the documents on the table, Yamamoto left without looking back.

After a while, outside the gate of Yangquan City, a transport plane also slowly landed on the square. The engine of the plane did not even turn off. Yamamoto jumped on the plane and flew to Taiyuan.

······
The next day, Xingjia Village.

An independent regiment signal trooper once again visited the new regiment headquarters.

Before the signal soldier could speak, Ding Wei spoke up:

"Li Yunlong is asking me to mobilize the devils in Meng County again."

How do you know... The signal soldier was stunned for a moment, but Ding Wei still didn't give him time to wonder.

"Is it the same price as last time?" Ding Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, the regiment commander will reimburse you for [-] bullets after this is done." The communications soldier nodded.

"Chenghe"

Ding Wei called the first battalion, Chang Chenghe, and gave an order in front of the signal soldiers: "The first battalion will set off immediately, find a Guizi Fortress to surround it, and attract the Guizi Brigade from Shouxian County to the north. Be careful, this time the Guizi will definitely not. It will be as easy to deal with as last time.”

The devil is not a monster in the game. The same method cannot be used twice, and the tactics must be adjusted appropriately, otherwise it is easy to fall.

"Yes" Cheng He took the order and left.

"Thank you, Captain Ding." The communications soldier quickly thanked him.

As expected of an old comrade-in-arms of the regiment commander, doing things so neatly... Ding Wei's speed of doing things made the signal soldiers feel emotional.

"I've already done it"

Ding Wei stopped the communications soldier who was about to leave. He smiled: "Go back and tell Li Yunlong a word, the difficulty of this business is different, and the price is naturally different."

"Ah?" The communications soldier was taken aback.

"Just talk to your regiment head directly." Ding Wei waved his hand and let the signal soldiers leave.

Not long after the Signal Corps left, another soldier from the Independent Regiment was brought to the regiment headquarters for help: "Captain Ding, I am Li Quanshun, the third squad leader of the Second Battalion and Third Company of the Independent Regiment, please do me a favor and send someone to help. Let's transport the supplies"

The soldier was covered in dry glue on his cotton-padded clothes, covered with water stains, and had apparently fallen into the water while wearing his clothes.

Li Yunlong didn't receive this small group of troops? Ding Wei was taken aback: "What materials?"

"Three tons of medicines," Li Quanshun replied.

"Okay, I'll take people there in person, where are you?" Ding Wei's eyes narrowed.

It was really transported back, it seems that it should have been transported back by water.

"Here..." Li Quanshun pointed to a location.

······
"Deputy Commander Kong, do you know where the drills are for the Commander and the others?"

"Also, when will they be back?"

"Also, why hasn't the Assault Company reported the situation to the regiment recently?"

The independent regiment, Yang Cun, and Zhao Gang grabbed Kong Jie, and they met with a bunch of questions.

"Forehead···"

Kong Jie's expression froze at that time.

Damn, why did the labor and management have to come back first... Facing Zhao Gang's question, especially the tone of obvious suspicion, Colonel Kong Da almost had the urge to slap himself.

"Should be back in the next two days."

Taking off his hat and wiping off the cold sweat that didn't exist, Kong Jie began to clear the relationship:
"Captain Li asked me to inspect the surrounding terrain to prevent the devils from attacking again, so I have been carefully inspecting the terrain near Yangcun in the past few days, and I don't know the exact location of the regiment leaders."

"As for why the Assault Company didn't continue to report the situation, I think it should have joined the regiment commander and the others, so they didn't continue to report."

"By the way, has Captain Kong heard of it?"

Zhao Gang did not continue to entangle, but changed the topic: "It seems that the Guizi Military Station over there in Shijiazhuang has encountered an attack, and the Guizi casualties and losses are not small. It is said that a certain guerrilla team did it."

The regiment transport team that came back from the headquarters told Zhao Gang about this, so he was very clear.

"Ah, I don't know, I've been outside these days..." Kong Jie's heart tightened and he almost stumbled.

"It's alright, Colonel Kong, go get busy..."

Zhao Gang waved his hand and walked directly back to the regiment headquarters.

"Um··?"

Kong Jie looked at Zhao Gang and was very puzzled: "It must have guessed something! But listening to this tone, why doesn't it sound so angry?"
