Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"By the way, the two divisions assigned to you will arrive in Taiyuan in half a month. By then, we can implement the Cage Plan faster and cut off the base of the Eighth Route Army.

Let them not support each other, then we can take action and get rid of them as soon as possible! And annihilate the Northeast Army at the same time!

Remember, the main thing is to destroy the Northeast Army. The Empire has lost too many people because of this army. If we don't get rid of it, it will become a big problem!" The Japanese commander said in a serious tone.

In his opinion, this Northeast Army posed several times more threat than other troops, so it must be destroyed.

"I understand! With Yamamoto's special attack team here, I am confident that we can annihilate the enemy." Itagaki Seishirō said confidently.

"Well, let's leave it at that for now." The Japanese commander hung up the phone.

"Commander, wait a minute, which two divisions did you transfer?!" asked Itakane Seishirō. He didn't even know which two divisions the commander was transferring.

"The Sixth Division and the mixed 25th Division." The Japanese commander said slowly.

"Commander, are you really going to transfer the division that participated in the massacre back here?!" Itagaki Seishirō said in surprise. He had thought that the commander was just talking, but he didn't expect that he would really transfer them here.

The Sixth Division was also called the Kumamoto Division. Its commander was Tani Hisao, who also had a hand in the massacre and played a major role.

"Huh, do you think I'm joking? Doesn't that Northeast Army want revenge? I'm just transferring a division related to the massacre over here. Let's see if they dare to do it like they did last time." The Japanese commander snorted coldly.

Originally he was planning to transfer the 18th Division, but this division had a very heavy task, so they couldn't spare it, so they could only transfer the 6th Division, but it was equally powerful.

"Let's leave it at that for now." The Japanese commander then hung up the phone.

Itakase Seishirō also breathed a sigh of relief and put down the phone. Through observation of Yamamoto's special attack team, he found that this force was indeed much stronger than the Class A division.

Even if we are no match for the Northeast Army, we will be able to fight them back and forth. Then, cooperating with other troops, it should not be a problem to annihilate this army.

Previously, they had somewhat underestimated the Northeast Army. The enemy's combat effectiveness was indeed ridiculously strong. Even if they could surround the enemy, they might not be able to annihilate the enemy.

After all, the enemy has demonstrated its terrifying strength in this battle. With the same number of people, the enemy can easily defeat their soldiers.

Although the enemy was able to do this when they were not prepared, even if they were prepared, if they were surrounded, the enemy could easily break through their defenses.

But now it’s different. With Yamamoto’s special attack team here, even if they are no match for the enemy, they will never let the enemy break out so easily.

Once the large forces surround and annihilate this Northeast Army, it will be a foregone conclusion.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to annihilate the enemy after encircling them, it would definitely cost a huge price.

But none of that matters, as long as we can annihilate this Northeast Army.

In fact, sometimes he thought about whether he could win over this force, but when he thought about it carefully, this was simply impossible.

No matter what promises they make, the enemy probably won't agree to surrender.

"Sigh...what a troublesome enemy." Itahene Seishirō sighed, but compared to his previous feeling of powerlessness, he now had a little more confidence.

Just then, Noda Kazuki came to the office.

"Division Commander!" Noda Kazuki saluted Itakune Seishiro.

"Have you settled the Yamamoto Special Attack Team?!" asked Itakane Seishirō. Yamamoto Ikki was the last trump card in his hand, and he couldn't neglect them.

"It has been settled. Division Commander, what do you think after seeing this troop?!" Noda Kasumiku couldn't help but ask.

"They are stronger than the soldiers of the Class A division, but how much stronger is not yet certain." Itakane Seishirō made his assessment. He had to see it with his own eyes.

"I thought so too. I just talked to Yamamoto Ikki..." Noda Kazuki then repeated the conversation with Yamamoto Ikki to Itakane Seishiro.

"So, they did learn a lot in Germany?!" Itahene Seishirō felt more confident.

"Yes, the various operations he mentioned are all things I have never heard of. If they can really be implemented, maybe we can really annihilate the Northeast Army." Noda Kasumi said.

As long as it is confirmed that the combat effectiveness of Yamamoto's special attack team is indeed very strong, there will be more than 50% chance of annihilating this Northeast Army.

Facing an enemy with such terrifying strength, having a 50% chance of success is already very high, and this is when the Yamamoto Special Attack Team is very strong.

"Well, then I have enough confidence." Itagaki Seishiro nodded with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, the two divisions that the commander has transferred will arrive here in half a month..." Itakane Seishirō told this matter.

"The Sixth Division?! I remember that this division seemed to have also participated in the massacre, and killed quite a few people. Are you sure there won't be any problems if we transfer them over here?!" Noda Kasumi said in shock. He was really worried that this would provoke even stronger combat power from the enemy.

After all, a big reason why the commander of the 16th Division was targeted was because of this incident.

"What are you afraid of? If the enemy dares to do this again, do you think Yamamoto's Special Attack Team will be vegetarians? Moreover, we will also be ready for the backup plan. As long as the enemy dares to come, we will make sure they never return." said Itagaki Seishirō.

They have been fooled once, so they will naturally be on guard, fearing that the enemy will not dare to come when the time comes.

"That's true. I also think we can do this, and I have also discussed the next actions with Yamamoto Ikki..." Noda Kazuki told Yamamoto Ikki the entire battle plan he had discussed with him.

Since the enemy hates the division that participated in the massacre so much, we can take this opportunity to set a trap for the enemy.

"This plan sounds feasible, but it only works if the enemy really comes.

Moreover, the enemy will also be alert, after all, they have used this method once and may not dare to use it a second time." Itahei Seishiro said slowly.

It is still difficult to implement the plan because the enemy is not that stupid.

"It's hard to say. The enemy might think that we think they dare not do it again and choose to attack again." Noda Kasumi responded.

"Indeed, this possibility exists." Itagaki Seishirō nodded. However, he felt that this possibility was not high, but it was something that had to be guarded against.

In fact, he still felt that the enemy would not use the same combat method a second time. Having already carried out a decapitation operation, it would not work the second time. After all, they were not fools, so how could they not be on guard?

"Division Commander, in this case, we might as well try to make a plan in this direction. If it succeeds, we won't have to go through so much trouble." Noda Kasumi said.

"It's not impossible. We can try the specific situation and make this plan together with Yamamoto Ikki." Itakane Seishirō nodded and said. Yamamoto Ikki's troops are their strongest force now, so it is impossible to bypass them. Moreover, Yamamoto Ikki may have other opinions.

Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, they won't lose money, so it's still worth a try.

"Understood!" Noda Chuanmu responded.

"You've been busy all night, you should go and have a rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." Itaheng Seishiro waved his hand and yawned again. He was also a little sleepy.

"Hey! Division Commander, you should also go to bed early." Noda Kasumi said this before turning around and leaving.

After Noda Kazuki left, Itakane Seishirō got up and returned to his residence to rest.

.........

The next morning, in the base in Tianli Mountains.

Li Jin came to the arsenal and found Director Liu.

"Captain, have you eaten?!" asked Director Liu.

"Well, I've eaten. How's the gas mask going?!" Li Jin asked. He came here to ask about the progress.

In fact, they have delivered a lot of gas masks to the brigade headquarters these days, but Li Jin did not ask about the exact number. After all, this matter was handled by Xu Qingfeng, and he could trust him.

"We have now manufactured 380,000 gas masks. We are still 20,000 short of 400,000 gas masks, which will only take a few days at most," Director Liu reported.

Fortunately, there were many soldiers helping, otherwise it would be impossible to make the things in such a short time.

"Well, that's great. I have a blueprint for a tear gas bomb here. You can try to get someone to make it. I'll prepare the materials for you." Li Jin nodded and took out a detailed production blueprint for a tear gas bomb.

"What is the function of this tear gas? It can't make people cry, right? It doesn't seem to have any effect on killing the enemy." After taking the blueprint, Director Liu asked with some confusion.

He didn't understand the point of the commander making tear gas.

"Old Liu, don't underestimate this tear gas. It is a good thing for attacking blockhouses. This tear gas will release a strong smell, which will not only make people cry, but also make people choke and run out of the blockhouse in a minute.

Tell me, is this thing effective?!" Li Jin briefly explained the effect of tear gas.

Generally speaking, the Japanese blockhouses are not equipped with gas masks. As long as tear gas is thrown into the blockhouse, the Japanese will be unable to hold on and run out in minutes.

Of course, it is possible that it does not come out, but the probability is low. After all, the human body cannot withstand the invasion of this smell.

This thing will be very useful in the subsequent battles.

"What?! Is it so powerful?!" Director Liu was also a little shocked when he heard this. He thought that the tear gas was just nominally for making people cry, but he didn't expect that its effect was so significant.

It is indeed very difficult for ordinary troops to attack the Japanese blockhouses. Although there are only a dozen or twenty people in a Japanese blockhouse, they are equipped with light and heavy machine guns, and some even have grenade launchers, so their firepower is very strong.

Unless the combat power is at the level of the special operations regiment, it would take more than a hundred people to take down a blockhouse.

Moreover, there are usually many puppet soldiers in the blockhouses, which makes it even more difficult to attack. To take them down, at least nearly two hundred people are needed.

It can almost be said that it is a matter of life and death.

"Otherwise, you don't think I made this thing just for fun, right? Anyway, the materials are ready for you, so you can make tear gas with peace of mind. When the time comes, we will distribute it to other troops for combat." Li Jin said.

A large-scale operation is definitely inseparable from attacking the enemy's blockhouses. This is not a big deal for the special operations regiment, but it is very difficult to fight for ordinary troops.

Even if it was a sneak attack at night, it would be very difficult to take down the blockhouse. After all, if the Japanese did not come out, many people would die in the attempt to attack the blockhouse.

"Okay, leave it to me. I promise to make it." Director Liu promised with a serious face.

"Then I'll leave it to you. This thing is very useful. If other troops have it in subsequent battles, fighting will be much easier and it can also reduce a lot of casualties. The key is to make it earlier and mass-produce it." Li Jin said.

There is still a lot of time before the big battle. As long as there are enough people and things are manufactured, we can still make a lot more later.

Moreover, as long as it is manufactured, the drawings and samples can be sent to the brigade headquarters, and the arsenal there can also make it together. By then, it should be able to be used.

"Okay! I'll find someone to do it now." Director Liu was already impatient. The appearance of this weapon would be more useful than a gun in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he had to make it as soon as possible.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, then turned and left.

.........

At this time, in Taiyuan, Itaheng Seishiro got up early, washed and had breakfast. When he came to the office, he found that Yamamoto Ikki and Noda Kazuki were already waiting there.

"Division Commander." The two men saluted Itakune Seishirō.

"You all came here together, have you already thought of a plan?!" Itagaki Seishiro asked doubtfully.

"I didn't come here to talk about this. I want to know the personal information of this Mu Jin! And other combat reports related to him." Yamamoto Ikki said. In fact, he wanted to know about Mu Jin's operations and wanted to study Mu Jin's combat methods!

"As for personal information, we cannot give you this because we don't know the opponent's situation, but we can show you the combat information." Itagaki Seishirō shook his head and said.

"What?! You've fought so many battles with him, but you haven't even found out his specific information?!" Yamamoto Ikki was stunned when he heard this. This made him doubt the intelligence capabilities of Itakune Seishirō and his team.

"Actually, I suspect the name Mu Jin is fake. He doesn't have this name at all. The people I sent out have been investigating for a long time, but found nothing related to this name!" Itagaki Seishiro responded.

Is it because he doesn't want to check? It's because he can't find any information about the other party. You know, they can find the information of senior officers in the National Army, but there is no news about Cha Mujin.

Asking their intelligence personnel to search for a person who has left the main force and uses a pseudonym is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, there are many Northeast Army troops who have separated from the main force, so it is not easy to find them.
