Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 931 March
The Japanese squadron following behind the Fifth Battalion had less than 200 men, and they were not elite troops, but ordinary Type B troops. In a sense, they were cannon fodder for exploration. However, behind this squadron was Yamamoto's battalion.

In addition to this battalion, there is also Yamamoto's most elite special forces team.

The special forces’ combat mission this time is still decapitation!
The target is Qiuyanling, which is where the Eighth Route Army’s headquarters is located at this moment.

A few days ago, after handing over the machine tool to Li Yunlong, the team that was originally escorting the machine tool encountered an ambush and was almost wiped out.

The person in charge, Zhao Tianzhi, was also captured because he was a traitor.

Zhao Tianzhi is a man with a strong character, so the Japanese can't get any information from him.

However, the traitor Zhang Wei was also a member of the escort team. From the information he spilled, Yamamoto analyzed that the current Eighth Route Army headquarters might be in Qiuyanling.

Qiuyanling is not far from Huangyadong, and it is entirely possible to complete the decapitation when the battle of Huangyadong enters a climax.

This was Yamamoto's plan, and after reporting it to Shinozuka, it was immediately supported.

Since the special forces were operating in secret, he did not make any advance warning when Xu San came to find him.

At this moment, Yamamoto had already gotten off the jeep and mixed in with the special forces members among the ordinary Japanese troops.

He did this just to be cautious because the last time he attacked the headquarters, he unexpectedly encountered the Independent Regiment, causing the plan to fail.

So he had to be extra careful this time, and use the cover of the large force to sneak into the mountains and forests to complete the assault.

The Fifth Battalion had been marching for nearly three hours, and the Type B Squadron following behind had also been marching for nearly three hours.

Their marching time was about the same, but their condition was not as good as the Fifth Battalion. They were already showing signs of fatigue and were beginning to fall behind the Fifth Battalion. After receiving the intelligence reported by the scouts, Yamamoto frowned, "The Fifth Battalion has changed a lot under Xu San's hands!"

"Indeed, but according to the report from our informant, the training of the Fifth Battalion is still mainly focused on marching, and other subjects are still very poor."

"Strengthen one item alone?" Yamamoto pondered for a moment. "That's a good idea indeed. This will help train the troops' penetration capabilities. Once they are formed, they can come up with many excellent tactics."

After he finished speaking, Yamamoto praised him again, "Not bad, very thoughtful."

Hearing Yamamoto praising Xu San, Yoshino couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and hurriedly said, "But the training of the Fifth Battalion is now completely handed over to that Chinese man named Wang Hai. Colonel Yamamoto, don't you think that this man named Wang Hai is more valuable? He can train a garbage unit better than ordinary yellow troops in a single subject."

Yamamoto shook his head. "Yoshino-kun, you are still young! There is a saying in China that there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. Knowing how to use people well is also a necessary skill for a commander. The fact that he can arrange Wang Hai as the chief instructor shows that he has a unique vision. You should learn from him in this regard."

Invisibly, Xu San was praised again.

Yoshino felt very uncomfortable, but he could only bite the bullet and lower his head and say, "Hi!"

After feeling the troops' marching speed, Yamamoto sighed helplessly and informed the scout beside him, "Go to the front and inform Xu San, tell him to slow down a bit."

"Hi!" The scout took the order and went to inform Xu San.

The three teams have about two thousand people, and the teams will be stretched out very long when marching. According to the current situation, Xu San will quickly distance himself from the Type B Squadron behind him.

Once the distance is widened, this long snake will be cut off. If the Eighth Route Army attacks at this time, it will lead to a situation where the two sides will be unable to take care of the tail end.
