Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 269 Rebuilding the Special Forces

"Sir, you're looking for me?"

"Mr. Takeshita, please come in." Yoshio Shinozuka put down the pen in his hand and said.

"Have Yamamoto-kun's ashes already been sent on their journey?"

"Hai, he has boarded the return warship in Tianjin, and will sleep forever at the foot of Mount Fuji!" Takeshita Shun said softly.

When his teacher heard the news of Yamamoto Ikki's death, his straight body suddenly became hunched.

The reason he came to China was, firstly, to bring back Yamamoto Ikki's ashes, and secondly, to avenge his teacher for the loss of his son.

"Yeah." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

"Mr. Takeshita, I heard that you also studied in Germany? And you also studied special operations?" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly asked.

"Yes, I went to Germany at the same time as Yamamoto-kun, but after I graduated, I became an instructor at the Army University."

"If I ask you now to re-form a special forces team in the First Army, would you be willing?" asked Yoshio Shinozuka.

Although Yamamoto Kazuki is dead, the pie he painted for Yoshio Shinozuka is still there.

If Yoshio Shinozuka wants to get his hands on this cake, he needs professional help.

Especially now that they know the Eighth Route Army has heavy artillery, the Locust Army can no longer easily send out troops to carry out a mopping-up operation.

At this time, if a special forces team could infiltrate the Eighth Route Army's base, then the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery would become a decoration.

"Hey! I'm happy to serve you!" Takeshita Shunli said.

His purpose of coming here was to take revenge, and revenge requires strength, so he naturally had no objection.

"Hey, Takeshita-kun, I'll write you a warrant. You can select any warriors below the rank of major from the First Army."

The members of Yamamoto's special forces were sent to Germany for training at great expense by the headquarters.

However, the General Staff has already sentenced the special forces to death, so naturally they will not send them for further training.

Now, the only ones Takeshita Shun can choose are the soldiers of the First Army itself.

"But please hurry up on this matter," said Yoshio Shinozuka.

"I received a notice from Chief of Staff Miyamoto that General Okamura will be experimenting with the 'new three-layer iron rolling position tactics' in a while, and northwest Shanxi is his 'mountainous anti-communist experimental zone'."

"At that time, a total of 200 elite officers above the rank of captain will be selected from various units in North China, and General Hattori Naomi will personally lead the team to observe."

"I plan to let you bring the special forces team to participate."

"If you can perform well, you will have the opportunity to change the tradition of the Army, which will be very beneficial to your future development."

"Hayi! I won't let you down!" Takeshita Shunshi stood up.

Takeshita Shun already had some knowledge of the special forces team formed by Yamamoto Ikki.

In his opinion, Yamamoto Ikki's defeat was not unfair.

Yamamoto Ikki is really too arrogant. You can't even speak Chinese, and you still want to infiltrate?
Moreover, just by looking at the equipment the special forces are equipped with, they can be recognized as Japanese troops from across a hill.

Therefore, they could only advance stealthily at night, and there was no chance of a surprise attack at all.

If you want to take down the Eighth Route Army headquarters, learning how to disguise is the first step.

"Sir, I have another request." said Takeshita Shun.

"please say."

"I heard that you were once the commander of the 10th Division. I would like to ask for your help in transferring Major Yasuichiro Yamamoto of the 10th Division to join the special operations team."

"Yamamoto Taiichiro? I remember this person. He must be Yamamoto Ikki's cousin, right?" Yoshio Shinozuka remembered after thinking for a while.

Yasuichiro Yamamoto was well-known throughout the 10th Division.

This person is incompatible with the army and doesn't like collective life at all.

They don’t even sleep in the barracks, but in the carriages.

I don’t know whether he will still sleep in the carriage after the 10th Division is transferred to the Kwantung Army in Northeast China.

The weather in Northeast China is very cold now.

"Yes, it's him. He is a good shooter and the special forces team needs an excellent sniper." said Takeshita Shun.

The elite of the Locust Army can kill the enemy at a distance of 200 meters, but if they want to kill the enemy accurately at a longer distance, they need professional snipers.

"Okay, I'll call Major General Sasaki to discuss it." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

After all, the 10th Division was his old unit, so it was no problem to transfer a few people.

"Thank you sir!"

That day, when Chen Chengxing was racking his brains to teach the soldiers, Wei Dayong suddenly ran over.

"Captain, the political commissar called and said that there are guests coming to the regiment."

"Guests? There can be guests coming to Dayun Mountain? Did the political commissar say who it is?" Chen Chengxing looked confused.

Since Luo Ping was talking about guests, they were not members of the Eighth Route Army.

I'm afraid the only troops that could come to visit Shanxi are the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.

"It's Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and his adjutant Sun Ming."

"Chu Yunfei?" Chen Chengxing was even more confused.

Isn't Chu Yunfei Li Yunlong's good friend? What is he doing in the New Second Group?
Chen Chengxing knew that Yan Xishan was going to send an observation group, but the headquarters was located in Chenjiayu, more than 50 miles away from the New Second Regiment, which was not convenient at all.

What is Chu Yunfei doing here specifically?
"Let's go back and take a look." Chen Chengxing said.

"You guys, practice with that damaged motorcycle." Chen Chengxing instructed several soldiers in the mechanic team.

"If you don't understand something, you can ask Director Wen or Director Xu. I will come when I have time."

Anyway, it's already broken, so it won't get any worse even if it's taken apart again, so it's perfect for practicing.

"Yes!" Several people nodded.

They could all see that Chen Chengxing attached great importance to the mechanical team, so they all took it very seriously.

During this period of study, they only got a small amount of sleep every day and spent the rest of the time studying hard.

As soon as Chen Chengxing and Wei Dayong returned to Hongni Bay, they heard the system suddenly ring.

[Side quest released: Chu Yunfei? Actually, it's an observation group. ]

[Mission Objective: Find and destroy the Japanese North China Front Army Battlefield Observation Group.]

[Quest Reward: Skill: War Intuition (LV0). ]

Looking at the task, Chen Chengxing had a headache. He knew without thinking that this skill was very good.

But Yamamoto Ikki is dead, and it is definitely not that easy for him to kill this observation group.

"Old Chen, you're back." Luo Ping heard the sound of horse hooves and walked out of the regiment headquarters.

"This is Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army," Luo Ping introduced.

"Captain Chen, I've long heard of your name." Several people saluted each other and Chu Yunfei said with a smile.

The Hundred Regiments Campaign not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese, but also almost scared Commander Yan of the Second War Zone to death.

The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi alone already had 20 troops. What does this mean? Who is the commander of the Second War Zone?
The newspapers controlled by the Kuomintang have now begun to accuse the Eighth Route Army of expanding its forces without authorization.

In the National Government’s military organization, the Eighth Route Army clearly only had 15 regiments, but you have now developed it into more than a hundred regiments?

In Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, this is totally unacceptable and unforgivable.

The Second War Zone observation group came to the Eighth Route Army to observe and learn about guerrilla warfare.

Another important task is to test the situation of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, Chu Yunfei ran more than 50 miles just to see what kind of unit the New Second Regiment was.

"Oh, no, no, Captain Chu is too polite."

"Your 358th Regiment is the main force of the Second War Zone. It is Commander Yan's trump card. A reinforced regiment of is unique."

"Unlike us, the New Second Regiment doesn't even have a serial number. Even if we have made contributions, the Standing Committee Chairman can't find us." "Captain Chu can come to this small temple of the New Second Regiment. It's a face for me, Chen Chengxing."

Chen Chengxing's words were not an exaggeration at all. In the previous commendation telegrams, it was either the 386th Brigade or a unit of the 386th Brigade that was written on it.

The three words "New Second Regiment" never appeared in the telegram.

"Captain Chen is too polite. Although I have never met Captain Chen, his name is well-known in Northwest Shanxi."

"In the Second War Zone, from the commander to the commanders of the armies, divisions, and regiments, who doesn't know the achievements of Commander Chen?"

As Chu Yunfei, who has risen to the level of leader of the reinforcement group in the Guo Party, is very good at business flattery.

"We are all fighting under the same flag, and serving the country under the command of Chairman Chang and Commander Yan."

"I think we can call each other brothers. Can I call you Brother Chengxing or Brother Luo?" Chu Yunfei said.

Both Chen Chengxing and Luo Ping appreciated Chu Yunfei's flattery.

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army had many frictions, they were still friendly forces after all, so Chen Chengxing naturally could not ridicule them too much.

"No problem, no problem, Brother Yunfei, please come in." Chen Chengxing was ready to take Chu Yunfei into the regiment headquarters.

"Brother Chengxing, Brother Luo and I have been talking for a long time. I wonder if I can take a look at your training?

"Of course." Chen Chengxing said.

It's just training, nothing shameful.

"But the main force of the New Second Regiment is fighting the Japanese on the periphery. In Hongni Bay, there are only cavalry and the regiment headquarters."

"Shall I take Brother Yunfei to see the cavalry?" Chen Chengxing asked.

The main battalions of the New Second Regiment were scattered on the periphery. In Hongni Bay, there was only the guard company and the cavalry company.

It is impossible for Chen Chengxing to assemble the troops just to allow Chu Yunfei to visit.

"Brother Chengxing's troops really can't sit idle, so let's go and take a look at the cavalry." Chu Yunfei nodded.

When he entered the village, he already discovered that there were not many troops here.

"kill!"

On the cavalry training ground, the soldiers passed through the training ground one after another, and they would draw their swords and slash as they passed.

Watching the cavalry's movements, Chu Yunfei felt more and more familiar.

"Brother Chengxing, I think your cavalry unit has some similarities to the Northwest Army."

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also had its own cavalry units, but the fighting styles of the two sides were very different.

"Brother Yunfei has good eyesight." Chen Chengxing nodded.

"Sun Desheng!"

"To!"

"come over!"

After Sun Desheng dismounted and ran over, Chen Chengxing introduced him, "This is the captain of my cavalry company. He used to work under Shi Yousan."

"Brother Chengxing is really good at networking with talented people all over the world."

"Captain Chu can't just collect trash, right?" Chen Chengxing said with a smile.

"Hahaha. Captain Sun Ming!"

"To!"

"Captain Chen is testing our 358th Regiment." Chu Yunfei gestured.

Sun Ming immediately understood what it meant.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

The cavalrymen who were originally training stopped training when they saw Sun Ming walking to the sandbags and started eating watermelons.

Sun Ming exerted a little strength, and his fingers poked two holes in the sandbag like lightning, and sand flowed all over the ground through the gaps.

"This is terrible! This finger is almost like a bayonet."

"That's right. If this is stabbed into the body, it will be a bloody hole."

"It seems that the Jinsui Army really has experts."
The soldiers watched Sun Ming's performance and talked about it.

Chen Chengxing glanced at the soldiers who were discussing, turned around and ordered, "Monk, show your skills to the friendly army. This will also be considered a martial arts exchange between the two armies."

"Yes!"

After standing in front of an abandoned rammed earth wall, Wei Dayong stood up and did a roundhouse kick, knocking down half of the wall.

"well!".
The soldiers applauded and cheered.

They couldn't understand what finger techniques were and what leg techniques were. They only saw that the damage caused by Wei Dayong was relatively great.

"This subordinate of yours is quite skilled in Shaolin Kung Fu." Chu Yunfei looked Wei Dayong up and down.

He is from Wutai and knows something about Shaolin Kung Fu.

"Yes, he did do some rough labor in Shaolin Temple for a few days before," Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh? That's rare." Chu Yunfei nodded.

"In times of national crisis, he is willing to come down from the mountains to serve his country, which is admirable."

When the Japanese invaded China, they showed no mercy to Taoist temples.

But it is not disrespectful to monks. Monks still have a relatively high status in their opinion.

"Come, let me see your gun." Chu Yunfei stretched out his hand.

Wei Dayong glanced at Chen Chengxing and saw that he had no intention of refusing, so he took out his gun.

"A German-made Mauser pistol." Chu Yunfei turned it in his hand.

"It's a good gun, but the rifling is a little old."

As he said that, Chu Yunfei put the gun back into Wei Dayong's hand.

Wei Dayong had just taken the gun and before he could put it back into the holster, he saw Chu Yunfei quickly pull out the pistols on both sides of his waist with both hands.

Wei Dayong's eyes suddenly widened, this speed was too fast.

Before he could react, Chu Yunfei opened fire.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two sparrows on the wall fell to the ground.

"Brother Yunfei is a great marksman." Chen Chengxing glanced at Wei Dayong.

It also lets you know what it means that there are always people better than you and what it means that no matter how good your kung fu is, you can be knocked down with one shot.

"This gun is manufactured by the Belgian FN company, Browning brand, caliber 6, capacity rounds, and it comes in pairs when it leaves the factory."

"I, Chu Yunfei, will first present this one to Commander Chen to show our friendship in joining hands to kill the enemy."

"I hope Captain Chen will accept it." Chu Yunfei handed the gun in his right hand to Chen Chengxing.

Wei Dayong, who was standing next to him, was drooling at the sight.

This is a flower-mouthed Lulu, very expensive, a top-notch product among top-notch products.

You said you are Captain Chu, but you didn’t give me a gun, so why are you looking at my service gun?
"Then I won't be polite." Chen Chengxing took it.

This is a good gun. Even if you sell it, you can get a lot of money.

"I will stay in your army for a few days. I think Brother Chengxing will not just talk about military strategy with me on paper, right?" Chu Yunfei said immediately when he saw Chen Chengxing took the gun.

You, the leader of a large group, have already received the reward, you can't just let me wander around in the mountains, right?

"Brother Yunfei, don't worry. I will definitely take you to an actual combat." Chen Chengxing casually handed the gun to Wei Dayong and asked him to help him put it away.
