Yamamoto Kazuki has always wanted to promote special operations, how could he easily miss this opportunity?
Okamura Neji said nothing and looked at Yamamoto Kazuki.
How could this old fox not know Yamamoto Kazuki’s inner thoughts?
Yoshio Shinozuka felt something was wrong, so he tried to smooth things over and said, "General, please don't be angry. Yamamoto-kun didn't mean anything else, he just..."
Okamura Neji stretched out his hand to stop Shinozuka Yoshio, looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and said: "Yamamoto-kun, tell me your plan."
Yamamoto Kazuki's insistence on the killing operation actually aroused a lot of interest in Okamura Neji.
People with such persistence are rare among the Japanese army.
Hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki looked surprised and stood up and said: "Hai!"
Yamamoto Kazuki could no longer suppress his inner excitement, stood up and said: "General, my plan is very simple.
To use an old Chinese saying, if you hit a snake within seven inches, you must first capture the king if you capture the thief!"
After a pause, Yamamoto Kazuki continued: "Eighth Route Army units are relatively scattered, and their attention is on the battlefield ahead.
I can directly lead a small force to launch a sneak attack on the 28th Regiment Headquarters, which will definitely catch them off guard."
Yamamoto Kazuki paused and said: "Yes, it is the 28th Regiment. We already know the location of the 28th Regiment headquarters. It would be best to attack them sneakily.
What's more, General Miyano was also captured by the 28th Regiment, and it is very likely that he has encountered an accident, and this Qiu Imperial Army must avenge him!"
Okamura Neji nodded slightly.
"Ding Wei, the commander of the 28th Regiment, is already a serious problem for the Imperial Army, and now the Eighth Route Army wants to take the initiative to provoke a war." Yamamoto Kazuki continued.
"In a battle of this level, I think Ding Wei will definitely sit at the regiment headquarters and command the battle. This is our opportunity.
The war is imminent. In order to attack our abandoned strongholds, the Eighth Route Army's forces will definitely be slightly dispersed, and the 28th Regiment's sentries will be slightly relaxed.
I don’t think the people in the 28th Regiment could have imagined that we would actually send people to sneak attack their regiment headquarters.
The Eighth Route Army must have believed that we were too busy fighting for those strongholds and could not mobilize troops for support in a short period of time.
We can do the opposite and create this false impression for the Eighth Route Army, building plank roads openly and secretly attacking Chencang.
Once our sneak attack is successful, the command system of the 28th Regiment will be completely defeated by us, and their morale will definitely plummet!
As far as I know, the Eighth Route Army regards Ding Wei very highly, and the reputation of the 28th Regiment is well known to everyone. If he is defeated, it will definitely restore the prestige of our army!"
"Xinxi, you are right." Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "The 28th Regiment has indeed grown very fast. Yamamoto-kun, how confident are you that you can defeat the 28th Regiment."
"Reporting to Your Excellency, General, since you dare to say this in such a humble position, you must be extremely determined." Yamamoto Kazuki paused.
"This humble position will definitely defeat the 28th Regiment and capture the commander of the 28th Regiment alive in front of you."
"Okay, Yamamoto-kun, I'll give you a chance to see if your so-called special operations are as powerful as you say!" Neji Okamura said.
"I hope you won't disappoint me. I have great confidence in you. If you fail again, don't come to see me. Just commit suicide and apologize to the new emperor!"
"Hai, please rest assured, General, your humble position will not disgrace your new appointment to me!" Yamamoto Kazuki said excitedly.
He has been waiting for this day for so long.
"If the humble job fails again, even if the general does not need to personally give the order, the humble man will commit suicide and apologize!" Yamamoto Kazuki said again.
"Very good, Yamamoto-kun, how long do you need to prepare?" Okamura Neji asked.
Yamamoto Kazuki thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, General, I will prepare to leave in two days. The current war has just begun.
We need to wait for a while, and when the Eighth Route Army completely relaxes, we can deal a fatal blow to them!"
"Two days later?" Okamura Neji asked.
"That's right." Yamamoto Kazuki paused: "Even a humble job requires some time to prepare!"
"円西..." Okamura Neiji nodded: "Then it will be scheduled in two days, Yamamoto-kun, you must perform well this time and don't let me down again.
I promise you, if you can successfully kill the leader of the 28th regiment this time, I will definitely support you and help you carry forward special operations!
When the time comes, I will set up a special operations team all over North China, and you will be the chief instructor at that time.
Hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki suddenly showed surprise. He stood up and said, "Hai, thank you for your kindness, General. I will definitely live up to your love!"
It has always been Kazuki Yamamoto's dream to make the voice of special operations more widely known.
Okamura Neji's words undoubtedly greatly stimulated Kazuki Yamamoto, who even dreamed of doing this.
Special operations are being carried out across North China, and I am the commander of this force. It is exciting enough to think about it.
He will definitely leave a strong mark in history.
Kazuki Yamamoto secretly thought, and he was even more determined to kill Ding Wei and completely defeat the command system of the 28th Regiment.
"Okay, Yamamoto-kun, you go down and prepare first!" Okamura Neiji waved his hand and walked away Yamamoto Kazuki.
Yamamoto Kazuki paused slightly and left here with a happy face.
Okamura Neji looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and said, "Shinozuka-kun, how is the military factory?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Excellency, General, the arsenal is operating at full capacity to manufacture equipment. I believe that it will take less than a month to replenish the equipment to all the troops."
"Very well, Shinozuka-kun, the arsenal is very important, you must focus on defense!" Okamura Neji said solemnly.
"The Eighth Route Army is very cunning. If they find that a large amount of equipment suddenly appears on the road, they will most likely target it."
"Hai, I understand!" Yoshio Shinozuka said respectfully: "I will definitely keep a close eye on the military factory's affairs to ensure the safety of the military factory."
Even if he is a lieutenant general, he is just a small role in front of the commander of the North China Front.
"In addition to the arsenal, all roads also need to be strictly guarded." Okamura Neji said solemnly: "For this period of time, the Eighth Route Army has been harassing us.
It has greatly slowed down the maintenance progress of our department. Since the Eighth Route Army destroyed a large number of our routes last time, we must take strict precautions this time and station our troops on various major road sections."
"Hai!" Shinozuka Yoshio lowered his head and nodded, replying: "Our department has deployed troops on all major road sections!"
"Very well, Shinozuka-kun, if we can win this time, the military headquarters will let your previous command be forgotten." Okamura Neiji said.
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka was overjoyed and paused again: "This humble position will definitely live up to the expectations of His Majesty the General!"
Okamura Neiji thought for a while and said: "Shinozuka-kun, if you perform well this time, the military may consider sending an observation group again."
Observation group…
Recalling this long-lost name, Yoshio Shinozuka was filled with emotions.
When Kazuki Yamamoto first formed the special operations team, the Japanese military headquarters was indeed very interested in this unit.
Especially when Kazuki Yamamoto led his squad to annihilate 200 enemy Eighth Route Army soldiers with zero casualties.
The Japanese military headquarters' interest in the Yamato Soul Commandos has reached its peak, so it is preparing to send an observation group down.
But then, the Yamato Soul Commandos were defeated one after another, forcing the Japanese military headquarters to reconsider the safety of the observation group.
In the end, the Japanese army canceled the observation group's plan to go to Shanxi for the observation group's safety.
After all, this observation group is not a random group. It has at least one major general as its base. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be very serious.
Although Kazuki Yamamoto did not like performing, the plan was canceled because he could not guarantee the safety of the viewing group, which also made Kazuki Yamamoto feel shameless.
Not to mention Yoshio Shinozuka, because of this incident, he has always been brooding in his heart.
Unexpectedly, I can still hear the words "observation group" today.
"Your Majesty, General, I will definitely not disappoint you this time!" Shinozuka Yoshio said excitedly: "Let the colleagues in the observation group watch a wonderful battle!"
"Very well, Shinozuka-kun, go down and get ready!" Okamura Neji waved his hand and said.
Yoshio Shinozuka left here respectfully.
Okamura Neji looked at the files on the desktop again.
The above document was requested by Okamura Neiji from the Japanese Military Headquarters, and the Japanese Military Headquarters mobilized a group of troops here.
Because the First Army consumed too many troops in previous battles.
In order to carry out the subsequent counterattack more smoothly, Okamura Neiji did not rely on others and immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese military headquarters.
To put it simply, I don't have enough troops. Send me some troops immediately to assist in the battle.
After so long, the Japanese military headquarters finally agreed to mobilize troops to Taiyuan.
The number of troops mobilized this time was not too much or too little, and there was a full division.
The Third Division is a unit that has just come off the battlefield and is affiliated with the Kwantung Army. They have just won a battle and their morale is high.
Originally, they were resting and recuperating in Hebei. After receiving a message from Okamura Neiji, the military headquarters immediately replenished the strength of the division and quickly transferred them to Taiyuan.
The combat effectiveness of the Third Army Division should not be underestimated. Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Third Army Division's record has been more wins than losses.
Although the strength of the supporting troops did not meet Okamura Neiji's expectations, the transfer of the Mikami Division was enough to satisfy Okamura Neiji.
After all, the combat effectiveness of this division is completely comparable to that of two divisions.
Okamura Neiji has begun to look forward to how this invincible army in Kanto will shine in Shanxi.
…
Both the enemy and ourselves have begun fighting.
Starting from the stronghold where the Japanese army retreated, battles of various sizes broke out in almost every stronghold of the Japanese army.
The war is getting more intense, and a large-scale battle may break out at any time.
The strengths of all parties have once again fallen into a trap.
All the devils and devils know what is going on.
But the national troops in Shanxi were all confused by Monk Zhang Er.
358th Regiment Headquarters.
Chu Yunfei frowned and looked at the military map in front of him.
His head was filled with questions, and he had no idea what was happening in Shanxi.
Chu Yunfei originally thought that after the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army ended, the two sides would enter a long-term truce.
He was fully prepared to follow the exchange group and go to the Eighth Route Army station to pay a proper visit to Ding Wei.
But another battle suddenly broke out here. For the safety of the officers of the exchange group, the Shanxi-Sui Army Military Headquarters temporarily shelved the exchange plan.
As for the time for the next communication, the military headquarters simply replied with two words, tentatively.
The Eighth Route Army inexplicably opened fire with the Japanese again.
And this time, it was the Eighth Route Army who took the initiative to open fire, which was not much different from their first action.
But Chu Yunfei didn't know why, these Eighth Route Army troops launched another attack on the Japanese army.
Don't they need any rest?
The fighting style this time was completely different from the Eighth Route Army's previous combat habits.
There was a pause of only about ten days, and they made similar noises as before.
The staff of the 358th Regiment were busy monitoring radio stations and searching for information, but they never knew why.
The only useful news is that the Japanese army abandoned some of their strongholds, and then they had a military conflict with the Eighth Route Army.
Chu Yunfei actually expected the Japanese army to abandon some of their strongholds.
After Chu Yunfei reviewed the situation, he discovered the problem with the deployment of the Japanese army. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese army gave up some of their strongholds and concentrated their forces.
But the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack...
After these successive battles, Chu Yunfei suddenly had a strange thought in his heart.
The 358th Regiment, and even the entire Shanxi-Sui Army, seemed to be in a strange state in grasping information on the battle situation in Shanxi.
The Eighth Route Army inexplicably opened up a large base area and developed it inexplicably.
"Team seats!"
Fang Ligong quickly walked into the regiment headquarters.
"Brother Ligong, you're here, have you figured out what's going on?" Chu Yunfei turned around and asked.
Fang Ligong nodded and said: "I figured it out. The Eighth Route Army has already given a reply, saying that they ambushed a retreating Japanese army, which resulted in what happened now."
Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, obviously not believing Balu's answer.
"How about the 28th Regiment?" Chu Yunfei suddenly asked: "What are they doing?"
"Regiment 28?" Fang Ligong was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Now that we are in a mess again, who knows about them."
"Go, send someone to the 28th Regiment's base immediately to see what the 28th Regiment is doing!" Chu Yunfei said in a shocked voice.
"Yes!" Fang Ligong quickly left the regiment headquarters without asking any further questions.
Fang Ligong had long known that his regiment leader was interested in the 28th Regiment, so he didn't find it strange that Chu Yunfei's order was strange.
…
28th Regiment, Regiment Headquarters.
After handling matters within the group, Ding Wei prepared to lead his troops to Haiwan Mountain.
The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment also began to be on the periphery, harassing the Japanese soldiers in each stronghold from time to time.
Now everything is a mess, battle reports are coming back every moment, but the 28th Regiment has been waiting in place, and Ding Wei has been impatient for a long time.
Before leaving.
Ding Wei left a 300-man guard battalion at the regiment headquarters, as well as the 028 squad to take charge of the security of the regiment headquarters.
With the current combat effectiveness of the various units of the 28th Regiment, a guard battalion can at least go head-to-head with Japanese troops of comparable strength.
Needless to say, Team 028 is Ding Wei’s trump card.
This time the 28th Regiment was engaged in a tough battle, and the small team did not have much effect. Fortunately, Ding Wei left them here.
After once again giving instructions on the affairs within the regiment, Ding Wei led his troops to Haiwan Mountain.
