Chapter 116 The division commander robs the brigade commander!
In Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.
A report was sent to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's desk.
It was the battle report that the Black Island Regiment was crushed to pieces and the county seat of Qixian County was completely wiped out.
This report contains very little space about the overall destruction of the Black Island Regiment, because there are no more Black Island Regiment cavalry participating in this battle.
There are only a few sets of photos taken by the Yoshino Alliance in Yelangyu, Jianshantsui and Dawanggou, and they are still black and white and blurry.
From the photos, you can only see the corpses of Japanese soldiers in pieces, and the pieces of meat that were beaten into pieces by machine guns.
The battle in Qixian County is more detailed, because the Japanese and puppet troops in the city exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army, and some of them survived.
This report was written by the military police captain Takeda Nobutada himself. After writing the report, Takeda Nobutada was ordered to commit seppuku to express his gratitude to the emperor.
The Kuroshima regiment was completely wiped out, the county town was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the food supplies and arms were taken away by the Eighth Route Army. Someone needs to take the blame. Kuroshima Morita has been crushed, so of course Takeda Nobutada will take the blame.
After reading the report, Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the phone on the table, quickly shook the handle, and then put it to his ear.
"Moxi Moxi, please ask Colonel Yamamoto to come to my office."
In most cases, Shinozuka Yoshio rarely discussed matters with the combat staff and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi.
Instead, he went directly to Yamamoto Kazuki, who was two ranks lower than him.
Since the defeat of the secret service team in Yangcun, Yoshio Shinozuka suspected that there were spies in the First Army Headquarters, and became even more alienated from several close staff members.
About ten minutes later, Kazuki Yamamoto, dressed in military uniform, walked into the commander's office carrying the colonel's command sword.
When he came to the desk, he clicked his feet together, paused and said, "General, are you looking for me?"
Yoshio Shinozuka put down the report in his hand, raised his head and said, "Yamamoto-kun, how is the selection of special team members going?"
"Currently, the elites selected from various units of the First Army have arrived in Taiyuan!" Kazuki Yamamoto said solemnly, "I will conduct intensive training for them. Only after undergoing the most brutal training and fighting can they be qualified to become real special forces. Each of them will
All special forces are warriors from hell, so it will take time for the special forces to develop combat effectiveness!"
"Time waits for no one." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "You must restore the combat effectiveness of the special agent team as soon as possible and make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Yamamoto Kazuki paused and said: "Hi!"
Yoshio Shinozuka asked: "So, do you have any clues in investigating the last intelligence leak?"
"This man is hiding very deep. He must be at the headquarters. Don't worry, General, I will definitely find him out!"
Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes flashed with sharpness. He had always suspected that a staff member of the headquarters was behind the leak of intelligence on the last raid on the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but he had no evidence. Even the fishing plan he personally formulated and implemented to deliberately leak intelligence was not known.
The spy could not be found.
"Yamamoto-kun, look at this. This is the report sent by Yoshino Yoshino." Shinozuka Yoshio handed the report on the table to Yamamoto Kazuki.
Yamamoto Kazuki took the report and read it.
About ten minutes later, Yamamoto Kazuki finished reading and put it back on the table with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Yamamoto-kun, what did you find?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a look on his face.
"General, the Eighth Route Army seems to have used special operations tactics in their attack on Qixian County..." Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes narrowed.
Regarding the Kuroshima United, Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't figure out the reason behind a few photos and a few words.
However, after experiencing the battle in Qixian County, Yamamoto Kazuki was keenly aware of the problem.
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka said in shock, "Special operations? How can a Tobali who is as poor as a beggar know how to do special operations?"
"Yamamoto-kun, do you mean that the small group of troops that suddenly appeared to occupy the south city wall are the special forces of the Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes, General!" Kazuki Yamamoto said, "I had doubts that day. Now that I see this report, I can be sure that the Eighth Route Army used special operations."
"Moreover, Li Yunlong's defense team, which fought against the special forces in Yangcun, obviously received guidance from experts who are proficient in special operations."
"During this battle in Qixian County, a small group of elite troops from the Eighth Route Army disguised themselves as imperial cavalry and pretended to be cavalry from the Black Island Regiment."
"And the garrison troops outside the county town must not have dared to stop them, which is why this small group of elite troops from the Eighth Route Army easily occupied the southern city wall of Qixian County."
"This small group of elite troops from the Eighth Route Army all used automatic firepower and had extremely accurate marksmanship, which played a key role in turning the tide of the battle."
"Even if this Eighth Route Army is not a real special forces, it is a typical special operation, and they have initially possessed the characteristics of a special forces."
When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, his expression became uncertain.
A special forces unit appeared among the Eighth Route Army, which is not good news.
Although the Yamamoto special agent team was defeated in Yangcun, Yoshio Shinozuka never doubted the fighting ability of the special agent team.
Yamamoto's special agent team simulated a beheading operation at the First Army Headquarters, and the target was Yoshio Shinozuka.
The person responsible for protecting Shinozuka Yoshio was the most elite unit in the First Army, but the special agent team easily beheaded him.
If the Eighth Route Army really has special forces like the Yamamoto Special Forces, then the number one target of the Eighth Route Special Forces is probably their own heads.
A worried look appeared on Yoshio Shinozuka's face, he might have to be careful in everything in the future.
"Don't worry, General." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "This is just my guess."
"Even if the Eighth Route Army has such a special force, there is no need to worry too much."
"The use of special forces should be at the strategic level. The Eighth Route Army using this level of troops for siege operations is simply an insult to special operations."
"The Eighth Route Army doesn't know how to use special forces at all. What your Excellency, General, should really worry about."
"The weapons used by the Eighth Route Army in this battle in Qixian County seem to be very sophisticated. In addition to automatic weapons, there are also 92 infantry guns and 20mm machine guns."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Infantry guns and automatic weapons may have been captured, but how could the Eighth Route Army be equipped with 20mm machine guns?"
Machine guns are very rare heavy weapons for the Japanese army, such as the Type 98 machine gun, which is only equipped in small quantities by field troops and airports for air defense.
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said: "The Eighth Route Army is indeed equipped with automatic weapons. Judging from reports and intelligence, only a small group of elite troops are equipped with them. This is not surprising."
"It is understandable that the Eighth Route Army has infantry artillery."
"After all, the Imperial Army has been fighting against the Eighth Route Army for so many years. Although not many infantry guns have been captured, there are still a few."
"As for the 20mm machine guns, most of them were used by Fu Zuoyi to support the Eighth Route Army. There are probably only a few of them, so Mr. Yamamoto shouldn't make a fuss."
Yamamoto Kazuki paused and said: "Hi!"
…
386 Brigade Department.
The transportation team led by Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, arrived outside the brigade headquarters.
The soldiers were unloading the goods, and boxes of beautifully packaged ammunition boxes were piled in the open space in front of the brigade headquarters.
Many brigade personnel heard the commotion and came to watch.
This time the new regiment transported 400,000 rounds of ammunition, nearly 300 ammunition boxes, and dispatched all mule carts and 100 horses.
The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han also walked out of the brigade headquarters.
Zhang Dabiao saluted the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han, pointed to the ammunition boxes and 12 machine guns and said.
Then he walked to the moving vehicle and lifted the parachute cloth covering it, revealing two twin-mounted machine cannons.
With a smile, Zhang Dabiao said: "400,000 rounds of ammunition, 12 machine guns, and 3,000 rounds of 20mm machine gun shells."
"Brigadier Commander, Deputy Brigadier Han, and the regimental commander asked me to say hello to you."
There was an uproar all around, and the eyes of all the brigade staff suddenly widened and their eyeballs almost fell off.
The brigade commander walked quickly to the machine gun, looked at the machine gun on the mule cart, and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
Then he ordered people to quickly lift the white cloth on the mule carts. There were six mule carts in total, and each mule cart was loaded with two 20mm machine guns.
Four of the machine guns are twin-mounted, with two 1.4-meter-long barrels, drums that can hold 60 rounds of artillery shells, and a curved sight in the middle.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this 20mm machine gun is full of violent aesthetics and is a great weapon against little devils.
"The new regiment will make a fortune by attacking the county this time!"
"Tsk, tsk, those two machine guns at the division headquarters don't look this good."
"With 400,000 rounds of ammunition and 12 machine guns, our 386th Brigade is now rich!"
"No, adding in the 200,000 rounds of ammunition delivered by Political Commissar Zhao the day before yesterday, the new regiment handed over a total of 600,000 rounds of ammunition!"
“Captain Li’s ideological consciousness is really high!”
Several combat staff officers from the brigade headquarters were whispering there.
Only the brigade commander and deputy brigadier Han present knew the origin of these weapons.
It should be the same as those previous heavy weapons, coming from the mysterious patriotic man named Chen.
After unloading the goods, Zhang Dabiao led the transportation team back to Yangcun.
The next day, brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander and Deputy Brigadier Han were discussing whether to set up a machine gun battalion.
Ding ding ding——
The phone on the table rang, and the brigade commander picked it up casually: "Hello, this is the 386th Brigade."
The teacher's laughing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Chen Geng, I congratulate you on getting rich."
"Commander, how can we get rich? I, Chen Geng, am just a pauper." The brigade commander felt nervous and said hurriedly, "I am so poor that I am almost begging for food."
Oh no, no, I usually congratulate Li Yunlong on getting rich, but this time I was congratulated by my teacher on getting rich.
"Can this be hidden from my eyes?" The teacher smiled and said: "I heard recently that you defeated Li Yunlong's autumn wind and became a rich man. Now you, the 386 Brigade, are extremely rich."
"Don't hide anything. Tell the truth. How much benefit did you gain from Li Yunlong this time?"
The brigade commander had no choice but to say truthfully: "Commander, we really don't have much, just 600,000 rounds of ammunition, 350 horses, and more than 600 rifles and cavalry."
"That's all?" the division commander asked, "but how did I hear that there are more than a dozen 20mm machine guns?"
"Division commander, look at my memory." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the brigade commander said helplessly, "Yes, there seem to be 12 machine guns. I plan to form a machine gun battalion."
