Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 625: Yamamoto Dies in Italy

The number of reinforcements sent by the Japanese was indeed large.

But the more people there are, the more closely they gather, the bigger the target, and the easier it is to strike from the air. Not to mention that the Japs are all light infantry riding in cars, even if they have tanks, they still can't withstand the bombing.

The worst thing was that in order to reinforce the county town, the Japanese did not bring any anti-aircraft weapons. There were no anti-aircraft guns at all. They were all field guns and mountain guns, which could not hit the planes.

The Japs had no other choice but to be beaten.

But Yamamoto couldn't figure it out. Where did these peasants get the bombers? Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even if it was Yan Laoxi, it shouldn't have any. Even if it had, it wouldn't be possible for him to reinforce so readily. After fighting for so many years, they knew too well what a stingy Yan Laoxi was.

Where did the bombers come from? Of course, He Songling and the Flying Tigers came. They took off from the airport in Chongqing and traveled more than 1,200 kilometers to the northwest of Shanxi. The American bombers they used had a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers. In the middle, He Songling used a strange magic to refuel these planes in mid-air, which was enough to bomb the Japanese twice.

"Old Chen, Old Chen, you are no good. You are only good at flying fighter planes, but you are not good at flying a bomber." He Songling joked with Chennault on the airborne radio: "Look at the row of bombs you just threw. They all missed the target. How many Japanese soldiers did you miss?"

"I say again, my last name is not Chen!" Chennault gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Besides, I taught you how to fly a plane, so why are you so proud?"

Lao Zhong didn't have many bombers, but the situation was different. Generally, bombers were used to bomb enemy ground positions or large cities. Especially for large cities, two or three hundred bombers were often needed to carry out high-intensity bombing.

When Britain bombed Iraq in 1942, it dispatched more than a thousand planes, and in just ninety minutes, it dropped more than three thousand tons of bombs, a pure oversaturation attack.

But this time the target was light infantry on a field march, with no bunkers, no air-raid shelters, and no anti-aircraft artillery, so a dozen bombers were more than enough.

The bombers were divided into two groups. One group used bombing to intercept the Japanese soldiers who were lagging behind and rushing to reinforce from Taiyuan, while the other group concentrated the Japanese soldiers behind the independent regiment who were missed by the friendly forces on a plain and blew them to death.

As a result, the Japanese troops that had been blocked by Lao Zhong's troops were instantly isolated and helpless. Not to mention being defeated immediately, but at least they were stuck in the quagmire of fighting and were unable to break through at a very fast speed to support Ping'an County.

As for the Japanese in the county town, I can only say that Yamamoto Ikki’s judgment was correct, it’s over.

Without reinforcements, how could a garrison battalion of only a thousand people, plus Yamamoto's twenty or thirty special agents who were almost all dead, defeat a force of 10,000 people equipped with heavy artillery?

"Second Battalion Commander! Where's your fucking Italian cannon?" Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Yunlong decided to blast open the city wall: "Pull it up for me!"

"Bagya Road!"

At the same time, Yamamoto saw that he had become an isolated city again. There was no way he could break out, and being rescued seemed to be a pipe dream. He could only make a desperate attempt, "Go and pull that Zhao Gang up to me, and I will discuss the terms with Li Yunlong!"

When Li Yunlong saw "Zhao Gang" being tied up and dragged to the top of the city gate tower, he almost thought he was wrong. Could it be that the person who came to rescue him in the plane from the sky was not He Songling?
Of course He Songling ran away early.

Ever since he played that trick on Yamamoto in Zhaojiayu, all members of Yamamoto's special forces had PTSD towards this man. They didn't dare to approach him, or they were afraid that he would belittle their swordsmanship again. After arriving at Ping'an County, they just found a prison to throw him in. As long as they didn't let him escape, no one would care about this "Zhao Gang". When the war started later, they couldn't take care of him.

He Songling was able to set up explosive positions right under people's noses, not to mention that no one was watching him closely. He immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away, leaving behind only a divine incarnation.

Now Yamamoto is using this thing to threaten Li Yunlong. It is the same type of clones that were used to blow up the Japanese encirclement positions in Heyuan County.

"Li Yunlong! Look carefully who this is! He is the second-in-command of your regiment. We can talk!" Yamamoto shouted while holding a white flag.

"What the hell!" Li Yunlong also stopped firing temporarily and exchanged insults with Yamamoto:
"Yamamoto, I admit that you are quite capable. We didn't get any advantage in the three previous battles with our independent regiment. We even suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle. But I didn't expect that you would use hostages to threaten me and use them to quell such a large-scale battle? What kind of soldier are you? I really despise you, you son of a bitch!"

"Mr. Li Yunlong, let me tell you my conditions!"

After being baptized by He Songling's venomous words along the way, Li Yunlong's scolding was basically amiable to Yamamoto. Yamamoto was not affected at all, but just asked for conditions, "How about we each cease fire for fifteen minutes? As long as you agree, I can release your comrades immediately!"

"If you want to negotiate terms, fine. Let your men lay down their weapons and surrender, and I promise not to kill any of them." Li Yunlong was actually quite envious of Yamamoto's special forces combat method of decapitation operations, and he wanted to learn from them.

"Mr. Li Yunlong, you are not being honest." Yamamoto Ikki shouted from the city gate tower, "Since 1937, how many Japanese soldiers have you seen surrender?"

"Then what the hell are you talking about?" Li Yunlong lost all desire to negotiate with the old devil. "Aren't you devils pretty awesome? What's the point of talking about the bullshit Bushido spirit? You can commit seppuku now!"

"Li Yunlong, do you really not care about the life and death of your comrades?"

In fact, Yamamoto was not sure, and this was why arresting Zhao Gang was not as good as arresting his wife. Because Zhao Gang was also a soldier, and it was normal for soldiers to die on the battlefield. Zhao Gang was not a high-ranking leader, and no one would take this risk. But Yamamoto had no choice. In order to survive, he wanted to try again.

"Yamamoto, I'm going to make you die knowingly today!" Li Yunlong dragged Zhao Gang out, "Look who this is!"

"Zhao Gang?" Yamamoto Ikki was horrified and turned his head to look at the Zhao Gang next to him. He had a bad feeling in his heart, "Baka!" The samurai sword came down and the "Zhao Gang" in front of him shattered into stars.

Looking at this scene, Yamamoto was filled with fear. He was very smart, and considering the fact that torture was useless before, he immediately realized that this was a scam. Who could pull off such a scam?
"You are not Zhao Gang, you are He..."

"fire!"

There was no time for Yamamoto to finish his monologue. Li Yunlong interrupted him with a loud roar, and then three heavy artillery fired at the same time, blowing the entire city gate tower into pieces. Yamamoto Ikki on it was also blown to pieces.
