Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 339 Hot potato!

The next morning.

Shimen City.

Inside the city.

110th Division Headquarters.

"Mr. Nakamura, have you noticed anything unusual in the past two days?" After finishing his military affairs, Lieutenant General Kuwagi Chongming looked at the Chief of Staff, Colonel Saburo Nakamura.

Sangmu Chongming came from the artillery. He served as the commander of the 14th Field Artillery Regiment, the commander of the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the commander of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. He is very good at commanding artillery operations.

Historically, the 110th Division was the Japanese army unit that fought against the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain. Sangmu Chongming was dismissed from his post because of the death of Abe Nobuhide, the flower of the famous general, in Taihang Mountain. It is no secret that Sangmu Chongming and Abe Nobuhide were not on good terms.

However, at this time, Abe Norihide had just taken up the position of commander of the Independent 2nd Mixed Brigade.

Colonel Nakamura replied, "Last night, apart from the disappearance of a platoon leader of the Locust Alliance, no other abnormalities were found."

Sang Mu Chongming frowned: "What's going on?"

Ever since Major General Guan Yuanli was killed by the Eighth Route Army near Shimen City last year.

The defenses near Shimen City are so tight that they are almost abnormal.

However, because public security was good and there had been no attacks for over half a year, the defenses were relaxed again.

However, in order to welcome Yamawaki Masataka, Sangmu Chongming directly transferred an infantry regiment and two puppet army regiments to strengthen the defense of Shimen City.

In addition, the Quartermaster Corps, the Engineer Corps and other troops are stationed in Shimen City.

In recent days, the defense of Shimen City, Dagu Village Airport and its surrounding areas has reached a perverted level again.

The disappearance of the Locust Army platoon leader aroused the vigilance of the Japanese.

If something happens to Yamawaki Masataka on his territory, he will probably be in big trouble.

So Sangmu Chongming was extremely careful.

Colonel Nakamura reported: "It is said that the platoon leader of the Locust Association went to the toilet last night, but did not return. He is likely a deserter. I have sent troops to search for him."

"This is a bit strange." Sang Mu Chongming narrowed his eyes. "Order all troops to increase their vigilance. I have a good friend coming today. He may be promoted to general in the future. We absolutely cannot make any mistakes."

Colonel Nakamura was under great pressure: "Hi."

At this moment, an officer staff officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.

"General, the North China Front Command sent a telegram saying that Lieutenant General Yamawaki has already left Tieshishi Hutong for the airport. He will board the plane in about half an hour and arrive at Daguocun Airport in an hour and a half."

Kuwagi Chongming nodded slightly and looked at his watch. "Nakamura-kun, go get ready. We'll leave in forty minutes to go to the airport to pick up Lieutenant General Yamawaki."

"Hi."

Saburo Nakamura suddenly lowered his head and turned away.

Forty minutes later, a convoy drove out of the north gate of Shimen City and headed towards the airport along the highway.

The convoy consisted of about 20 Douding trucks and two Type armored vehicles.

(Japanese Type 93 armored vehicle)
It is obvious that these two Type 93 armored vehicles are used to pick up the old Japanese soldier Yamawaki Masataka.

Last time, the Japanese in Shimen City also used two Type 93 armored vehicles to pick up Guan Yuanliu, but they were directly blown into the sky by the explosives buried by the Blade Commando.

On both sides of the road, there was a Japanese soldier standing every ten meters, and these Japanese soldiers were nailed to the road like javelins.

There is a small village 1.3 kilometers away from the highway. The villagers of this village had long been driven away by the Japanese and puppet troops and were not allowed to live near the highway.

at the same time.

On the roof of a house facing the road, two Lao Lius were observing the Japanese convoy.

"Look, Xizi, the Japs have finally shown up! This convoy must be going to the airport to pick up Yamawaki Masataka," deputy gunner Yang Shaoqing said to Wang Xikui. "I see, those damn Japs! It seems the commander's intelligence was spot on." Lead gunner Wang Xikui licked his lips.

The two men were in an ideal sniping position, both wearing ghillie suits that were about the same color as bricks and tiles, with their faces smeared with scribbled oil paint.

Wei Dayong led the first combat team and stood not far away, ready to provide support at any time.

Elsewhere, the 2nd and 3rd Combat Teams protected and assisted artillery in bombarding the airport's runway.

Yang Shaoqing asked, "The Type 4 armored vehicle has armor thickness of 11 to millimeters. At this distance, can your gun penetrate the Japanese armor?"

"No problem," Wang Xikui said. "At this distance, both armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary rounds can penetrate 11mm thick armor. The Japanese Type armored vehicle has the thickest armor at the front, not at the back."

"You are worthy of being the third-ranked sniper in our New 1st Regiment. You are very professional." Yang Shaoqing secretly gave Wang Xikui a thumbs up.

"I'm ranked third, who are the first and second?" Wang Xikui raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, Staff Officer Zhao is first, and I am second." Yang Shaoqing held up a telescope and watched the Japanese convoy heading away towards the airport.

"Nonsense! Our sniping skills are on par with each other. A master teaching us the same thing can't break us." Wang Xikui said, "But after today, I'll be the best shooter in our New 1st Regiment, and you'll be third."

"As long as you can kill the target, I will recognize you as the best sniper." Yang Shaoqing whispered. If Wang Xikui could really kill Yamawaki Masataka and Sangmu Chongming at this distance, then he would not only be the best sniper of the New 1st Regiment and the Eighth Route Army, but could even be called the best sniper in China.

In the special operations sniper level classification given by Boss Lin, snipers are divided into three levels. The highest honor is assassin, followed by buzzer, and finally signal arrow.

To get the highest honor of assassin, you need to have outstanding achievements.

The assassin-level sniper is the king of elite snipers. He has extremely high shooting skills and tactical qualities and can complete assassination missions in various complex environments.

……

Soon, Sangmu Chongming's convoy arrived at Dagu Village Airport.

At 11:30 in the morning, Yamawaki Masataka's plane landed on time at Daguo Village Airport under the escort of two fighter jets.

On the tarmac, the cabin door had just opened and Yamawaki Masataka, who was about to get off the plane, saw his old friend Kuwaki Chongming waiting for him by the runway.

Yamawaki Masataka quickly got off the plane, and Kuwaki Chongming and several staff officers quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The two old Japanese soldiers both showed a look of joy on their faces. They first saluted each other, and then hugged each other tightly.

"Yamawaki-kun."

"Sangmu-kun."

"Kuangmu-kun," Yamawaki Masataka said, "It's been two years since we last met in Tokyo."

"Yes," Sangmu Chongming said with emotion, "time flies by. The July 7 Incident hadn't happened yet. Now the Empire has occupied nearly half of China's territory, and Yamawaki-kun has been promoted to commander of the First Army. I hope Yamawaki-kun will take good care of me in the future."

"My position as commander of the First Army is a hot potato," Yamawaki Masataka said with a wry smile. "Some of the commanders of the Type A divisions were unwilling to go to North China to serve as commander of the First Army, so I have this opportunity."

Yamawaki Masataka was telling the truth. When the Japanese military headquarters appointed army group commanders, they would give priority to selecting from the commanders of Type A divisions.

Under normal circumstances, Yamawaki Masataka's qualifications are not enough to be the commander of the First Army.

However, two Type A division commanders found excuses not to want to come to Shanxi and get involved in this mess, so Yamawaki Masataka had the opportunity to serve as the commander of the First Army.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was very strong, and the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was quite capable, but the First Army was still badly beaten black and blue by the Eighth Route Army.

Sang Mu Chongming complimented him, "He's also the commander of the Imperial Army Group, with over a hundred thousand locust soldiers and locust support troops under his command. In Chinese parlance, you're called a frontier official."

Yamawaki Masataka changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Kuangmu-kun, I'm in your territory. How are you going to entertain me?"

Kuang Mu Chong Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yamawaki-kun, everything has been arranged. Please review the field troops of my 110th Division first."

Yamawaki Masataka's eyes lit up: "Yoshi."
