Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Half a day later, a train pulled into Taiyuan Railway Station and hundreds of Japanese soldiers got off the train. They opened the doors of the train, took out boxes one by one, and then loaded them onto the train and transported them into the city.

In front of the warehouse of the Japanese army camp, Itakune Seishirō was already waiting there.

"Division commander, the weapons belonging to Yamamoto's special attack team have been transported into the city. We don't know what their equipment is like." The Japanese brigade commander reported.

"We'll know after a while." Itagaki Seishirō said. He was also a little curious about this, so he came here to wait.

"I hope they can really deal with this Northeast Army. Don't let them be wiped out by the enemy." said the commander of the Japanese brigade.

He was still a little worried, always feeling that the special attack team specially trained by the commander might not be a match for Mu Jin.

"Don't be discouraged. We haven't seen their strength yet. By the way, are the prisoners I asked you to prepare ready?!" Itagaki Seishirō asked, changing the subject.

He has a great use for these prisoners, which is to test the strength of Yamamoto's special attack team and see whether these soldiers are really that powerful.

"They are ready, and they have been eating very well these days, so their physical condition has recovered a lot." The commander of the Japanese brigade responded.

Since it is a test, it is naturally impossible to let these captives fight against others when they are weak. Nothing can be tested that way.

"Yeah." Itahene Seishiro nodded with satisfaction.

After they waited in the warehouse for a while, the truck carrying the weapons drove over.

Itakase Seishirō also ordered people to take the boxes off the car. After thinking it over, he took a crowbar and came to a long box.

Looking at the box, Itaheng Seishiro was lost in thought for a moment. Would it be a bit bad to open it like this? But when he thought about the fact that he was here to check on the situation of this unit, he made a decision.

card!
Itakase Seishirō pried open the box with force. It was covered with straw. He pulled the straw aside, revealing more than a dozen brand new German-made submachine guns.

"This submachine gun doesn't seem to be the one we bought." The Japanese brigade commander couldn't help but say that they had also purchased submachine guns and even light and heavy machine guns from Germany. The light machine guns they are making now are also made with reference to those from Germany.

"I guess it's a new model, but I don't know how powerful it is." Itahira Seishirō guessed that the manufacturing level in Germany is still very high, and it is normal to update weapons in a short period of time.

"How about we give it a try?!" the Japanese brigade commander suggested. He was curious about how powerful the new submachine guns in Germany were.

"Actually, I don't think it may be the latest model. The Germans will not sell the latest model to us. They will most likely keep it for their own use. As for testing the gun, forget it. Let's wait until Yamamoto's special attack team arrives." said Seishirō Itakane.

He didn't believe that Germany would sell the best submachine guns to them. If it were them, they would naturally keep the good stuff for their own use.

As for the old models, there is nothing wrong with selling them. After all, being able to sell them means that the new models are definitely more powerful. Even if they are sold, they don’t need to worry about others using their guns to shoot them.

"That's fine." The Japanese brigade commander looked at the submachine gun in the box with some curiosity in his eyes. The gun looked very good.

I just don’t know if it’s expensive or not. After all, the empire is still very short of steel materials.

"You guys nail the boxes." Itahiro Seishirō instructed several Japanese soldiers, then turned around and left, returning to the office.

Ring ring ring......

As soon as Itakune Seishiro sat down, the phone rang and he picked up the call.

"Mr. Itachi, have the weapons of the Yamamoto Special Attack Team arrived?!" the voice of the Japanese commander came from the phone.

"Reporting to the commander, it has been transported back to the military camp. I just asked someone to put the things in the warehouse." Itai Seishirō said hurriedly.

"Well, don't have any bad thoughts about these equipments. They all belong to Yamamoto's special attack team." The Japanese commander reminded that in order to purchase these equipments, they spent a lot of money to get them from Germany.

"Don't worry, Commander, I won't move!" Itahira Seishirō responded quickly.

"Well, you'd better prepare some prisoners and let them practice with them so that they won't become unfamiliar with the skills. It will also be a good opportunity for you to see their strength." The Japanese commander knew very well that after Yamamoto Ikki arrived in Taiyuan, Itakune Seishirō would definitely want to test the strength of this unit.

Therefore, it was just right to use the captured Kuomintang prisoners to train the Yamamoto Special Attack Team.

"It's been prepared a long time ago. We can proceed as soon as they arrive." said Itagaki Seishirō.

"By the way, Commander, do you want to let them adapt to the environment here first, so as to avoid problems with acclimatization that would affect their combat effectiveness?!" Itagaki Seishirō continued.

"That's not necessary. The Yamamoto Special Attack Team's usual training is in much worse conditions than this." The Japanese commander said confidently.

After all, Yamamoto spent a lot of resources to train the Special Attack Team. If they still have problems with acclimatization, wouldn’t all his resources be wasted in vain?

"Hi!" Itagaki Seishiro nodded.

"Mr. Banheng, I'm giving you all my cards this time. Please don't let me down again." The Japanese commander's tone suddenly became serious.

He has now made a promise at the base camp that not only will the Eighth Route Army be destroyed, but the Northeast Army will also be destroyed. If he fails to do so, he will be replaced as the commander.

By then, Itakune Seishirō would not be able to escape, and committing suicide by seppuku would be the best outcome.

"Understood!" Itagaki Seishiro responded in a firm tone. He would never make any mistakes again.

"The commander of this Northeastern Army is indeed very strong. He is no weaker than the commanders of the Class A divisions. It can even be said that he may be much stronger than you.

Therefore, in the next battle, you must be extremely careful. If another division is severely damaged by the enemy and we fail to annihilate the enemy, not only will I be in trouble, but you will also be unable to escape!" The Japanese commander reminded again.

Judging from his tone, he was also deeply wary of the commander of the Northeastern Army and at least did not dare to look down on him in the slightest.

"Yes! I will be cautious and will never be led by the enemy again." Itahene Seishirō quickly made the assurance.

"Well, let's do this for now." The Japanese commander just hung up the phone.

"Commander, wait a moment. I think there may be an enemy undercover agent on our side, but I don't know where he is. Should we send someone to pay attention to him? As long as someone asks about the situation of this unit, it is likely that he is an enemy undercover agent. You should keep an eye on him." Itahira Seishirō couldn't help but remind him.

If the enemy knew about this unit, they would definitely think of finding out the time when it arrived in Taiyuan. In this way, they could follow the clues and find the traitor.

He felt that the enemy would definitely want to find out the situation of this secret force, as those people were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army.

"You don't need to tell me. I have already sent people to keep an eye on it, but there is no news until now. Maybe there is no traitor among us." The Japanese commander responded. He naturally thought of this. However, he did not find anyone suspicious. Of course, it is also possible that the enemy is hiding too deep, or the other party has noticed something, so he did not act rashly.

Anyway, no matter what, at the moment, no one knows that Yamamoto's special attack team has returned.

"Is that so? I think we shouldn't be careless and should stay vigilant." Itagaki Seishirō said. He didn't want to let the enemy know that Yamamoto's special attack team had arrived.

"Well, go ahead and do your thing." The Japanese commander nodded in response and then hung up the phone.

"I really don't know if there is really no undercover agent, or if the undercover agent is hiding too deeply and hasn't revealed his tracks." Itaheng Seishiro frowned.

He still felt that there must be an enemy undercover agent among them, but he was just hiding too well.

"Not that many." Itakane Seishirō shook his head. All he wanted to know now was whether the combat effectiveness of Yamamoto's special attack team was as strong as the commander said.

.........

Two days later, around eight o'clock in the evening.

In the mountains about ten miles north of Taiyuan, Yamamoto Ikki had already arrived here with dozens of soldiers.

"How long will it take for the others to arrive?!" Yamamoto Kazuki looked at the time on his watch and asked.

"It will take about two hours for everyone to arrive. We came early." Fujinaka Ichiro responded!
"Well, let's wait for them." Yamamoto Kazuki nodded.

"Colonel, you mentioned before that the Northeast Army sent people to Taiyuan to keep an eye on us. How about we also send people to look for them?!

Just because the people in Taiyuan can't find them doesn't mean we can't find them. It would be best if we could find them, capture them, and torture them to see if we can get more information about this unit!" Fujinaka Ichiro suggested.

If one wants to destroy this Northeast Army, it would be best to capture one or two enemies and find out the situation of this army.

"Mr. Fujinaka, the method you mentioned is very good. We can try it." Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki immediately chose to agree. In fact, this was what he thought before he came.

"Hey! Colonel, why don't we go into Taiyuan first?! And let the others go in later?!" Fujinaka Ichiro continued.

"Don't worry, just leave it like this." Yamamoto Ikki shook his head. Taiyuan was right in front of him, why rush? He should wait for others to go together.

"Send a telegram to Division Commander Ban Heng, telling him that we will arrive at the west gate around 1 a.m., and ask him to send someone to prepare to open the gate to receive us. By the way, first send a message to the commander to inform him of our location." Yamamoto Ikki said.

This is the best time to enter Taiyuan. Even if there are enemies in the city, they need to rest. Besides, they will not make any noise.

"Hi!" Fujinaka Ichiro turned around and told the telegraph operator to start sending a telegram to Itakune Seishiro.

.........

Inner city of Taiyuan, Japanese army camp!
"Division Commander, could something have happened to them?!" said the Japanese brigade commander who was standing in front of Itakune Seishirō in the office. If something really happened, it would be a big deal.

If even the commander's carefully trained secret troops were eliminated by the enemy, they would be in even bigger trouble.

"What nonsense are you talking about? With their combat effectiveness, how could anything happen to them? Besides, they got off the bus a little early. Under normal circumstances, it would take our troops two and a half days to get here. It's still a little difficult for the special attack team to arrive within two days." Itagaki Seishirō said.

In his opinion, Yamamoto's special attack team must be much stronger than the soldiers of the Class A division. Even if they were attacked by the enemy, they would be able to ask for help and even hold on until their support arrived.

Besides, it’s impossible for Yamamoto’s special attack team to be so stupid as to rush over here without any disguise.

"So, they were just bragging. We can arrive in two days." said the commander of the Japanese brigade.

"It's not the time yet, don't jump to conclusions." It would be a bit hasty to draw conclusions before things are certain.

"Hi!" The Japanese brigade commander nodded and said nothing more.

The two of them just waited in the office.

"Division commander, since they don't contact us, why don't we take the initiative to contact them and ask them where they are?" The Japanese brigade commander suddenly said.

Since you are just waiting anyway, it is best to ask the other party about their specific arrival time.

"Don't even think about it. The commander said that we can only wait for them to contact us first. Also, I guess they will give us a new code book for communication later to prevent it from being deciphered by the enemy." said Itakane Seishirō.

"Is that so? Then forget it." After hearing this, the Japanese brigade commander gave up the idea.

A few minutes later, a Japanese telegraph operator came in.

"Division commander, we have received a telegram from an unknown unit." The Japanese telegraph operator handed the telegram to Itakune Seishirō.

"Got it, you go wait at the door." Itahiro Seishiro took the telegram but did not read it immediately, instead he asked the telegraph operator to leave.

"Hi!" Although the Japanese telegraph operator was a little confused, he still obeyed the order and left the office.

After the other party left, Itaheng Seishirō began to read the telegram.

"Division commander, has the Yamamoto Special Attack Team arrived?" The Japanese brigade commander asked. At this point, and the telegram came from an unknown unit, it was most likely the Yamamoto Special Attack Team.

"Well, they have arrived at a location about ten miles away from the north city gate." Itahune Seishirō nodded and said.

"Then I'll send someone to pick them up." The Japanese brigade commander said hurriedly. He wanted to see what was going on with this unit.

"Don't worry, they said they will go to the west gate at 1 a.m. and enter the city from there. They asked us to send someone to pick them up and keep the noise down," said Itagaki Seishirō.

"Why don't they come directly? Are they worried about being discovered by the enemy's spies?!" the Japanese brigade commander couldn't help but speculate.

"Of course." Itagaki Seishirō said. In his opinion, this Northeastern Army would definitely keep an eye on the situation here!

Therefore, the caution of Yamamoto's special attack team is actually a good thing!
Two hours later, soldiers from Yamamoto's special attack team arrived here one after another. After counting the number of people, Yamamoto Ikki confirmed that all teams and personnel were present.
