Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

At about one o'clock in the morning, Yamamoto Ikki brought the special attack team to the west city gate. After contacting through the radio, the west city gate opened, and the Japanese brigade commander came out with his men to meet Yamamoto Ikki.

"Brigade Commander, I am the captain of the Yamamoto Special Attack Team, Yamamoto Ikki." Yamamoto Ikki saluted the Japanese brigade commander.

"Finally I'm meeting you. I'm Noda Kazuki." The Japanese brigade commander introduced himself with a smile.

He glanced at the special attack team members behind Yamamoto Ikki. Every soldier had a sharp gaze and a strong aura. It was obvious that they were much stronger than the soldiers in their division.

This also made Noda Chuanmu feel a little relieved. It seemed that Yamamoto's special attack team should be quite capable and they still had some chance of winning against the Northeastern Army.

"Brigade Commander Noda, please take us to meet Division Commander Itakune." Yamamoto Ikki didn't say much.

"Well, follow me." Noda Kazuki led the way in front, and Yamamoto Kazuki followed beside him.

"Your training in Germany must be very hard." Noda Kazuki said as they walked.

"As a soldier of the empire, this little bit of hardship is nothing. I just want to lead the Yamamoto Special Attack Team and serve the empire." Yamamoto Ikki responded slowly with a firm tone.

He is confident that he can lead the Yamamoto Special Attack Team to eliminate more enemies for the empire.

"Well, what Yamamoto said is very good. For the sake of the empire, let alone the hard work, even if it means sacrificing one's life." Noda Kazuki was also very satisfied with Yamamoto Ikki's answer.

Apart from anything else, his determination to serve the empire alone is enough to prove that Yamamoto Ikki is a soldier who is willing to work hard for the empire's cause.

Unlike the Osaka Division, which only cares about making money and has no desire to serve the empire.

"Yes, that's right." Yamamoto Ikki also agreed with what Noda Kazuki said. They were soldiers trained by the empire, so they should work hard for the empire's hegemony.

"Can I ask, how do you train in Germany?!" Noda Kazuki was quite curious about this.

In his opinion, the Empire's training of soldiers should be considered first-class in the world, and he didn't know why the Yamamoto Special Attack Team went to Germany specifically for training.

“This…” Yamamoto Ikki hesitated after hearing this.

"If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to. I don't mean to pry. I'm just curious." Noda Kazuki said quickly.

The Yamamoto Special Attack Team was specially sent to the Empire for training by the commander, and he dared not offend them.

"There's nothing to hide. Our training there is all about special operations, going deep behind enemy lines to disrupt the enemy's deployment, for example, decapitation operations.

When the two sides are fighting, lead people to go deep behind enemy lines, find the enemy's headquarters, and finally annihilate the enemy's high-level headquarters!" Yamamoto Ikki said briefly.

"Decapitation operation?! Hiss... Why does this sound so familiar?!" Noda Chuanmu took a breath of cold air. Why did he feel these words were so familiar?

"The commander of the 16th Division, wasn't that how he was killed by the enemy?" Noda Chuanmu finally reacted and said that these words were very familiar.

It turned out that the combat operations of the Northeastern Army were almost exactly the same as the decapitation operation that Yamamoto Ikki mentioned.

The 16th Division was destroyed under this enemy's combat style.

"Yes, I also know about this battle, so I am sure that the commander of this Northeastern Army must have also understood this kind of combat and took action." Yamamoto Ikki affirmed.

The Northeast Army used a decapitation operation.

"It's really strange. You learned it in Germany, but how did the enemy learn it?! No wonder we suffered heavy losses every time we fought with the enemy." Noda Kazuki sighed.

"So, this Mu Jin either studied it from other people, or he figured it out on his own after training his soldiers to be stronger.
Moreover, the enemy must have calculated the time to defeat the headquarters' defense and the time to retreat." Yamamoto Ikki said.

This decapitation operation is easier said than done. If the soldiers at hand are not strong enough and cannot complete the decapitation operation in a short period of time, the consequence will be that they will be surrounded and killed by the enemy.

Therefore, a decapitation operation requires defeating the enemy headquarters in the shortest possible time and killing the enemy commander before the enemy troops return to defend. Only in this way can one escape unscathed.

Moreover, the operation time must not be too long. Once the safe time is exceeded and the mission is not completed, you need to retreat immediately.

"That makes sense. When the 16th Division's headquarters was attacked, they immediately sent troops back to defend it, but it took the troops two hours to do so.
The enemy destroyed the headquarters of the 16th Division within these two hours. To be honest, I didn't expect the enemy to be so strong.

It was unexpected that they were able to defeat the defense of a regiment at the headquarters in such a short time." Noda Chuanmu felt his scalp tingling when he thought about it.

If the Nationalist Army were to fight, even with a division or even an army, they might not be able to annihilate a Class A division's regiment in such a short time.

Not to mention annihilating them, even defeating them was an unlikely thing, but that Northeastern Army did it. Isn't that scary?

"In fact, the main reason is that the commander of the 16th Division was careless and did not focus on defense. If he had carried out strict defense from the beginning, the enemy would not have been able to annihilate an entire regiment in such a short time." Yamamoto Ikki pointed out the problem.

In fact, just as he expected, Nakajima Imago was immersed in the joy of having the possibility to annihilate the Northeastern Army at that time. He never expected that the enemy would suddenly attack his headquarters.

"It seems that we need to send more people to defend the headquarters in the future." Noda Kasumi said. He was still afraid that the enemy would attack his headquarters while he was commanding a battle.

"The main thing is to make it as difficult as possible for the enemy to find the headquarters. It would be best to create a few fake headquarters to confuse the enemy and make it difficult for the enemy to tell which is the real headquarters. You can even use the fake headquarters to set a trap.

In this way, not only will the enemy fail to destroy the headquarters, but we will also surround them in the shortest possible time!" Yamamoto Ikki reminded him, and told him a plan to set up a trap for the enemy.

"What you suggested is a very good idea. When you meet Division Commander Ban Heng later, you can talk to him about the specific situation." Noda Kazuki said quickly.

He now realized that Yamamoto Ikki was indeed capable. He had found a solution so quickly and even had a plan.

"Actually, this only makes it less easy for the command center to be taken down by the enemy. If you want to set up a trap for the enemy, you still need to be more careful. Because from their battle with the 16th Division, this Mu Jin is very cautious in combat and will not be fooled so easily." Yamamoto Kazuki said seriously.

He would not easily defeat his opponent, especially one who was also capable of special operations. He would need to be even more cautious.

"Yamamoto-kun, you never know. The enemy doesn't know you exist yet, so maybe it will work.
When the enemy comes to attack, you will be the ones to defend and catch them off guard. At that time, even if the enemy finds out that they have been tricked and wants to retreat, you can chase them relentlessly.

As long as the large army arrives, how can the enemy escape? ! With your cooperation, let the enemy have a taste of this." Noda Chuanmu told his plan, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this plan had feasible aspects.

"It seems that the plan you mentioned is not impossible." Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki nodded in agreement, and the look he gave Noda Kazuki was more respectful.

I didn't expect that Commander Ban Heng would have such powerful subordinates by his side. He is indeed not simple.

"Then we can implement it specifically around this plan." Noda Kasumi said quickly.

"This plan is only feasible in theory at present. It is better to deduce the specific situation first and not make a plan too early." Yamamoto Kazuki said with a serious expression.

He would not implement a plan that was only feasible in theory directly. He would have to conduct multiple simulations and calculate various results.

"Well, you are right. This Northeast Army is not easy to deal with, and the commander is very capable." Upon hearing this, the commander of the Japanese brigade nodded in agreement.

Although he felt that the plan he mentioned was highly feasible, it still needed further study. After all, their opponents were not ordinary people's troops, but beings with more terrifying strength than them.

"You're right to think so." Yamamoto Ikki said with satisfaction.

He was also worried that Noda Kazuki would directly think of implementing the plan, in which case he would not carry it out. Besides, this time, his actions were decided by himself, and even the Taiyuan commander, Commander Banheng, could not directly order him.

He could even ask Division Commander Ban Heng to send troops to cooperate with him. It could be said that this was the highest authority given to him by the commander.

Not long after, Yamamoto Ikki and his men arrived at the inner city military camp.

Led by Noda Kazuki, they came to the empty playground, where Itakune Seishiro was already waiting.

If he had not been concerned about his identity as a division commander, he would have wanted to go and see for himself what this unit that was so valued by the commander was like.

"Division Commander, the Yamamoto special attack team is here." Noda Kazuki came in front of Itakune Seishiro and said.

"Hello, Commander Itachi. I am the captain of the Yamamoto Special Attack Team, Yamamoto Ikki. Nice to meet you!" Yamamoto Ikki politely saluted and greeted Itachi Seishiro.

No matter what, Itakune Seishirō is also the commander of Taiyuan, and he should be given due respect.

"Mr. Yamamoto, no need to be so polite. I'm so happy that you can come to help me this time!" Itagaki Seishirō said with a smile.

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the soldiers lined up in the rear. With just one glance, he felt that these soldiers were very strong. No wonder the commander spent a lot of supplies to send them to Germany for training.

"You're joking, division commander. We all serve the empire. It's not a question of helping. This is what I should do." Yamamoto Ikki responded modestly.

"That's right." Itahune Seishirō nodded, then asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, are you sure you can deal with that Northeastern Army?!"

"Of course there are. Although they are very strong, they may not be my opponents." Yamamoto Kazuki said with some confidence.

Although he took the opponent very seriously, he still felt that the opponent would not be his opponent. He just needed to put in his utmost effort to deal with this strong enemy.

"That's good. I've been troubled by this army during this period. Not only are they difficult to deal with, but they also join forces with the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to cause trouble, causing us to suffer great losses. It's really hateful!" Itaige Seishirō was still gritting his teeth with anger when he talked about this.

Thinking of those soldiers who died because of the Northeast Army, he felt heartbroken. So many soldiers died, causing them heavy losses.

"This Northeast Army is really powerful. They are also capable of special operations, especially when cooperating with other troops, they can expand the results of the battle.
It is indeed difficult for conventional troops to deal with such a powerful opponent.

However, it is hard to say if it happens to me, division commander, rest assured, the commander transferred me back to help you solve this problem." Yamamoto Ikki said.

He was well aware of the powerlessness of regular troops when facing special forces, and how difficult it was to cope with them. Only they, who were also members of the special forces, could deal with them.

"Then I'll leave it to you. The commander has also instructed me this time. I will fully cooperate with your actions. As long as this Northeastern Army can be annihilated, I will do it no matter what the cost!" Itahira Seishirō made the promise with a serious face.

In order to destroy this army, he has made the worst plan, even if it means his own death.

As long as this army can be annihilated, a scourge will be eliminated for the empire.

"I will never let the division commander down! I will never let the commander down!" Yamamoto Ikki also made a promise.

"Well, Yamamoto-kun, you've been traveling for a whole day, it's time to take a good rest. Noda-kun, please have someone take Yamamoto-kun and the others to rest first." Itakane Seishirō nodded, then looked at Noda Kazuki and gave instructions.

"Hi! Yamamoto-kun, come with me, the accommodation has been prepared for you." Noda Kazuki immediately took Yamamoto Ikki and the others to their accommodation to rest.

As for Itakura Seishirō, he returned to the office and called the Japanese commander to inform him of the news from Yamamoto's special attack team.

"Mr. Banheng, you also met the Yamamoto Special Attack Team. What do you think of them?!" the Japanese commander asked with a smile in his tone.

"Commander, this army does look extraordinary. It can definitely destroy this Northeastern Army." Itagaki Seishirō responded.

"It's too early to say anything. The Northeast Army is not simple. It will take some effort to deal with them. So, you have to cooperate with the Yamamoto Special Attack Team, understand?" The Japanese commander didn't say it too absolutely, what if he was slapped in the face!
"Hey! I will cooperate with you!" said Itagaki Seishiro.
