Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Forget it, since we don't have his personal information, the combat report against him is enough." Yamamoto Ikki said, although his original intention was to know the situation at Mu Jin's family and then send people to capture the other party's family.

In this way, you can threaten the other party. Even if the other party does not surrender, you can make the other party afraid to act rashly and affect the other party's command.

Although it is somewhat immoral to do so, he doesn't care about such things.

"This combat report is related to Mu Jin. It has been sorted out long ago. You can check it out." Upon hearing this, Itaheng Seishirō took out a thick document from the drawer and handed it to Yamamoto Ikki.

In fact, after learning about the situation of this Northeastern Army, he sorted out all the information related to them.

"This Northeast Army first appeared when the Empire attacked Wuhan. At that time, they cooperated with a division of the National Army and annihilated our brigade.

Earlier, they cooperated with the Eighth Route Army and the Sichuan Army to destroy one of our regiments. Moreover, they cut off our logistical supplies...” Itahene Seishirō briefly explained the situation.

"That is to say, they appeared two years ago. How many people were there at that time? Why didn't they surround and suppress them?!" Yamamoto Ikki asked.

Logically speaking, the number of people in this Northeast Army two years ago should not have been so large, and this is the best opportunity to encircle and suppress them.

"According to intelligence, they had about 300 people at the time, and they did not launch a siege. They attacked the airport and blew up dozens of our planes.
At that time, the commander who attacked Wuhan sent a brigade and a regiment to block the enemy in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, the encirclement of more than 10,000 people not only failed to annihilate the Northeast Army, but also caused heavy losses. Even the brigade commander at that time was annihilated by the enemy. In the end, the enemy managed to escape the encirclement.
It contains a detailed description of the encirclement and suppression process." Itachi Seishiro said, pointing at the document.

"They are all a bunch of idiots. They let the other party run away with such a good opportunity!" Yamamoto Ikki couldn't help but curse.

With more than 10,000 people, it would be easy to encircle and suppress 300 people. Even if the enemy is powerful, the difference in military strength of dozens of times is not something they can make up for.

Moreover, the troops that encircled and suppressed the enemy at that time should have been from the Class A division, with even stronger combat effectiveness, but they were unable to annihilate the enemy, which was really difficult for him to understand.

"At first, I thought so too, until I watched the encirclement and suppression process, I no longer thought so. You'd better watch it first.
The encirclement and suppression recorded in the data can be said that any other unit would not be able to escape. The enemy's command ability is simply ridiculously strong. "Itahune Seishirō did not argue, but Yamamoto Ikki read the data.

"Okay, I'd like to see what's going on." Yamamoto Kazuki pulled out a chair and sat down, starting to look through the information.

In fact, he still found it hard to believe how this Northeast Army managed to escape from the encirclement. Even if it was him, with only 300 men, facing the encirclement of a brigade and a regiment, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Therefore, he still found it a little hard to imagine how the enemy did it. Was it because their people were too stupid that allowed the enemy to escape?

As time went by, Yamamoto Ikki's expression changed from disdain at the beginning to serious.

"Hiss...they were able to run away, not only because of the commander's ability, but also because of the physical fitness of the soldiers under his command." Yamamoto Kazaki took a breath. The previous battles could only be attributed to the commander's ability to understand people's hearts.

They almost asked their people to follow Mu Jin's rhythm, but in the end they escaped, which was a complete challenge to the limits of the human body. They ran more than a hundred miles in a day, which was a bit scary.

"So, it's not that our people don't know how to encircle and suppress the enemy, but that the enemy is indeed ridiculously strong." Itagaki Seishirō said. He expected Yamamoto Ikki to do this.

"Yamamoto-kun, can you run more than a hundred miles a day?!" Itagaki Seishirō asked back.

"This is a bit difficult. I estimate that only one in ten people can do it." Yamamoto Kazuki looked embarrassed. In fact, he was not sure either.

"What is certain is that the 300 men at that time are probably all officers now. In this way, we can roughly infer that their current combat effectiveness should be similar to ours, or even weaker.
However, the enemy has the advantage in numbers. If they don't cooperate with the main force, I will lead the team to face the enemy head-on.
I am afraid I will not be a match for the enemy, but it will take a lot of effort for the enemy to destroy me." Yamamoto Ikki said slowly.

He admitted that the 300 Northeastern Army soldiers who were causing trouble in Wuhan at that time were indeed very strong, but only these 300 people were strong. Now these people have become officers, but it does not mean that the soldiers under them can be trained to be so strong.

Otherwise, the 20th Division would have been annihilated long ago, and even the 16th Division might have been severely damaged by the enemy.

Instead of the 20th Division being severely damaged, the 16th Division suffered no major losses except for the loss of one regiment.

"Being able to hold back the enemy is enough. If the 16th Division's regiment could have held back the enemy, Nakajima Imago probably wouldn't have died." Itakane Seishirō couldn't help but sigh.

Yamamoto Ikki dared to say that, which meant that he could still fight back and forth with this Northeastern Army. At least, with the same number of people, Yamamoto's special attack team would not be at a disadvantage.

"Besides, I'm not a fool. I won't really choose to fight the opponent head-on. I will do this only after I'm prepared." Yamamoto Kazuki said. If he didn't have the initiative, he would not easily fight the enemy.

"Yoshi, I'm glad you think so. I'm just worried that you will think that the Yamamoto Special Attack Team you lead is very strong and thus ignore the enemy!" Itahira Seishiro nodded with satisfaction and became more confident in annihilating Mu Jin and the others.

He had been a little worried before that the Yamamoto Special Attack Team might think they were very strong and underestimate the enemy. If that were the case, it would be very difficult to encircle and annihilate Mu Jin and his men.

"You're joking, division commander. I won't make such a stupid mistake." Yamamoto Ikki said. He never underestimated his opponents.

Even if he was facing the National Army, he would be fully prepared, not to mention that he was now facing an opponent that was likely to be no worse than them.

"Take this information back and read it yourself. If you have anything you want to say or do, come back to me." said Itagaki Seishirō.

"Okay." Yamamoto Ikki nodded and said, "Please ask the division commander to send someone to distribute our equipment to us."

Before they came here, they unloaded all the equipment and had the transport team deliver it to Taiyuan first. Now that they have arrived, they naturally have to take it back.

"Noda-kun, take Yamamoto-kun to get the equipment." Itakane Seishirō ordered.

"Hi!" Noda Kazuki took Yamamoto Ikki out of the office.

On the way to the warehouse, Yamamoto Ikki said: "Regarding the operations of this Northeastern Army, what is their favorite way of fighting?!"

"There is only one, that is to surround the point and attack the reinforcements. When they attack the checkpoints or blockhouses, we deliberately don't let so many people attack, giving them a chance to ask for help, and then ambush them halfway, and finally eliminate the reinforcements together.
Moreover, their methods were extremely cruel, they would shoot every soldier in the head, leaving us no chance to survive. "When Noda Kasumigi mentioned this, he felt a little scared.

"Well, I understand. If I have enough time, I will do the same." Yamamoto Ikki nodded.

"Then how did you deal with it afterwards?!" Yamamoto Ikki continued to ask.

"How else can we deal with this? We can only gather our troops to the county town and temporarily abandon those checkpoints and blockhouses. Only in this way will the enemy not dare to take action.

But this is not necessarily the case. When the troops were gathered together before, the enemy attacked once. "Noda Kasumi said. Although the enemy still attacked the city after the troops were gathered together, in general, the enemy was still quite afraid of this.

It’s not necessarily because it can’t be taken down, but because there will be casualties in the siege.

"Gathering our forces is indeed the only good solution. You really can't do anything about their trick.
Even if you are prepared, if you don’t have enough manpower, more people will die.” Yamamoto Ikki said.

Ordinary troops are powerless against Mu Jin and his men, so gathering the troops becomes the best solution.

"What you said later was right. There was a brigade commander who didn't believe it and thought he could turn around and encircle Mu Jin. As a result, there were heavy casualties and he was killed by Mu Jin." Noda Chuanmu said.

Because those people had never really fought with Mu Jin and his gang, they thought that Mu Jin was just so-so, so they foolishly ran to encircle and attack the other side, and ended up dying.

"What an idiot! So many people have died. Even if they are not from your own army, you should use your brains.

Don’t they think that other troops are much worse than them? ” Yamamoto Ikki couldn’t help but say when he heard this.

The facts are already in front of us, yet we still do such stupid things.

"Maybe they are eager to make a great contribution. If they can annihilate this Northeastern Army, promotion to brigade commander is a foregone conclusion." Noda Kasumi said.

He was overwhelmed by the huge achievements and made irrational decisions.

"So, they are stupid," said Yamamoto Ikki.

If it were him, he would never make such a stupid decision when he learned that other troops on his side had suffered such heavy losses.

Noda Kazuki fell silent for a moment. He didn't know what to say because he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Yamamoto Ikki said.

But those troops were their people after all, and Yamamoto Ikki looked down on them, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable!
Soon, Noda Kazuki brought Yamamoto Ikki to the warehouse and asked people to open the warehouse.

Then he took Yamamoto Ikki into the warehouse and came to a pile of supplies.

"These are your equipment. You can check to see if there is anything missing." said Noda Kazuki.

"Okay." Yamamoto Kazuki also started checking. Not long after, he stopped in front of a box. He felt that the box might have been tampered with.

There was something wrong with the nails on it, as if someone had pried them open and then nailed them back in. They were different from how they were nailed in in the first place.

"Noda-kun, please ask someone to bring me a crowbar." Yamamoto Ikki said.

"Okay." Noda Kazuki immediately sent soldiers to get the things.

"Yamamoto-kun, when your equipment arrived, I was curious about it, so I opened a box to check.
But don't worry, I just took a look at the equipment, it's definitely not damaged." Noda Chuanmu knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he said directly.

"It's okay, this equipment is not that easy to break down." Yamamoto Kazuki responded, but after all, he still had to check it out.

Soon, a Japanese soldier brought a crowbar. Yamamoto Ikki took the crowbar and pried open the box. After carefully checking it, he closed the box.

"Noda-kun, I've sent someone to get the equipment." Yamamoto Ikki said.

"Okay." Noda Kazuki nodded. These things originally belonged to Yamamoto's special attack team!

Yamamoto Ikki left the warehouse, and Noda Kazuki went to the nearby communications room, picked up the phone and called Itakune Seishiro.

"Noda-kun, what's wrong?!" came the voice of Itakane Seishirō.

"Division Commander, Yamamoto-kun discovered that we were opening the boxes, so I will just admit that I opened the boxes because I was curious about their equipment," said Noda Kazuki.

"Well, it's not surprising that he could find out. As a commander, you need to be bold and careful," said Itahira Seishirō.

After Yamamoto Ikki returned to the dormitory, he immediately sent hundreds of soldiers to the warehouse to move equipment.

"Colonel, what is this information in your hand?!" In the dormitory, Fujinaka Ichiro looked at the information in Yamamoto Kazuki's hand with some curiosity.

"This is a combat report related to the Northeastern Army. If you want to defeat your opponent, you need to know both yourself and your enemy." Yamamoto Ikki said.

"Then I want to see it too." Fujinaka Ichiro said quickly. He also knew what the combat report related to this Northeast Army was like.

"Then let me show it to you first." Yamamoto Kazuki handed the information to Fujinaka Ichiro.

"Okay." Fujinaka Ichiro took the information and was about to read it.

"By the way, I asked you to send someone out to investigate. Have you done it?!" Yamamoto Ikki asked. He had said before that he would send someone to check if there were any enemy spies in Taiyuan.

If there is one, just arrest him directly. Maybe you can get some useful information from him.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone there, and I'm sure there will be news soon." Fujinaka Ichiro responded.

"You haven't let other people know about this, right?!" Yamamoto Ikki said. He didn't want Itahune Seishiro to know that he was secretly investigating. Otherwise, it would be like saying that the people under your control are all good-for-nothings, which would be a slap in the face to others.

"Of course not. They all have legitimate excuses for going out and won't be discovered." Fujinaka Ichiro responded. He also knew that he couldn't let Itahune Seishiro know about this.

"Well, that's good." Yamamoto Kazuki nodded.
