Near Taiyuan, the secret training base of Yamamoto's special agent team.
This is a closed stronghold with a wall more than four meters high.
There are not only various building facilities for training, but also cells for holding prisoners of war.
Special agents and advance teams conduct unarmed killing training with prisoners of war here.
Six Type 94 trucks with tarps were parked in the open space.
Right in front of the six trucks stood Tadao Masuko, the leader of the Masuko advance team, and more than 100 members of his team.
Next to Masuko Tadao, a Japanese soldier was carrying an electronic instrument, which was a radio detection instrument.
This instrument can detect and find radio signals within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and can also be used to find enemy spies within the city.
Kazuki Yamamoto held his saber and looked back and forth with a serious and cold tone:
"Our espionage personnel reported back that a group of senior officials from the Jinsui Army have gone to the Liaoyang area. The only one who can receive these Jinsui officers is the Eighth Route Headquarters."
Yamamoto, the Japs, speaks fluent Chinese, and these Japs can actually understand him.
He continued: "From now on, you are no longer anyone's father, nor anyone's son."
"You are not even ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, you are members of the Masuko Advance Team."
"In your hands, the history of our First Army will be rewritten by you."
"This time, the mission of your Mashiko advance team is to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army with the most advanced radio detection equipment."
"Eliminate the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the supreme commander of the North China Eighth Route Army at all costs!"
"understand?"
After speaking, Yamamoto Kazuki looked around.
"Hi!"
All the devils shouted in unison.
Masuko Tadao shouted: "Salute!"
All the Japanese soldiers raised their hands to salute Yamamoto Kazuki, and Yamamoto Kazuki raised his hands to return the salute.
"The ceremony is over!" Then Tadao Masuko turned around and said, "Let's go!"
More than 100 Japanese soldiers climbed onto six trucks, and Tadao Masuko drove the lead truck out of the secret training base.
Yamamoto Kazuki watched until the last car drove out of the gate, then he put down his hand.
The so-called innovative tactics do not mean asking the Japanese Army to form many special forces like the Yamamoto Agent Team.
The military expenditure to support a special force is enough to support a full brigade.
Moreover, the special forces' requirements for soldiers are so strict that they are almost abnormal.
First of all, the first point is to receive higher education, and then all military skills must be top-notch. Only then did the entire First Army gather such a special force.
At least an elite division has the conditions to cultivate an out-and-out special forces unit.
But the advance team does not need to be so troublesome as special forces. It only needs to gather the most elite soldiers and firepower of the army together, and supplement it with scientific training methods to achieve the purpose of innovative tactics, because the advance team can train in batches, and a regiment can
You can train an advancing team.
Each regiment of the Japanese Army has an advancing team, and the advancing team can deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment in the battle, win the battle, and tilt the balance of war victory to Japan. Yamamoto Kazuki's purpose of innovative tactics
That's it.
This time, the advance team was used to conduct a decapitation operation on the leader of the Eighth Route Headquarters.
If successful, the various units of the North China Front will follow suit and form an advance team, and then Yamamoto Kazuki will become a big figure written in Japanese history books.
Yamamoto Kazuki's sneak attack plan was formulated under top secret circumstances.
Only he and Yoshio Shinozuka knew the full extent of the plan, not even the close advisers around Yoshio Shinozuka.
The Japanese 9th Brigade, 29th Brigade, 37th Division, and the battlefield observation group who participated in the plan all had no idea what Yamamoto was going to do.
Even the Masuko advance team who implemented the plan only knew that they were going to disguise themselves as the Eighth Route Army and bring instruments to find the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and knew nothing about the rest.
The Japanese Masuko advance team set out from near Taiyuan, carrying enough weapons, ammunition and supplies, without making any contact with the Japanese military strongholds along the way, and made a long-distance attack, heading straight to the Liaoyang area in southeastern Shanxi.
After Masuko's advancing team set off, the 9th Brigade, 37th Division and 29th Brigade pressed forward, as well as the battlefield observation group and the Yamamoto special agent team set off almost simultaneously.
The 9th Brigade advanced to the Huting stronghold area, the 37th Division arrived in the Heshun and Liaoxian areas, and the 29th Brigade set off from the Handan-Changchang Highway and swept forward towards the base area.
The purpose and intention of these three forces was naturally to attract all the attention of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
But they only stayed on the outskirts of the Eighth Route Base Area, not for real mopping up, so that the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not figure out the Japanese army's intentions.
This will allow the Eighth Route Army to focus its defense on the offensive direction of these three troops.
Covering the Masuko advance team disguised as the Eighth Route Army, they quietly entered the Eighth Route Army's base area and dealt a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
…
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Following the movements of the Japanese three-pronged army.
The atmosphere in the headquarters became tense.
The sound of the radio station sending and receiving telegrams kept ringing.
In the conference room, the chief of staff reported to the boss: "The true intention of the Japanese army is already obvious. They are not really going to sweep away this time. They are using troops from the east, west and north to attract our attention, and then send them
A small group of troops came to sneak attack our headquarters, but the information about the Japanese attack has been known to us for a long time."
"It may not be a real sweep," said Master Liu. "If the Japanese sneak attack succeeds, I'm afraid that by then, these three groups of Japanese soldiers will come directly to us."
The boss snorted coldly: "Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, is very good at making calculations. He didn't suffer enough losses half a month ago, so he made a comeback only half a month later."
Commander Liu said: "The Japs have raided our base area so many times, but our Eighth Route Army has grown stronger and stronger. Now the Japs have begun to use strange tricks. For example, they used the Yamazaki detachment as bait for fishing last time, and this time they have a beheading plan."
The boss said: "That's because the Japanese knew that conventional raids were useless against our Eighth Route Army, and the cage tactic was useless, so they had to resort to this strategy."
"Don't tell me yet," the chief of staff said, "If I hadn't known about the little devil's beheading plan in advance, I would have been really hard to guard against."
The boss nodded and said: "Notify Li Yunlong immediately, tell him the movements of the Japanese army, and tell him that all of us will be watching his new group's performance next."
…
In Yangcun, the new regiment headquarters.
After receiving the notice from the headquarters, Li Yunlong started making plans.
Of course, all important military matters during this period were made public to Chu Yunfei.
Except for the ammunition depot of the New Regiment, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming can visit it at will.
After Chu Yunfei lost the bet that day, he gave the Browning gun to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong didn't really want it, so he returned the Browning gun to Chu Yunfei.
Based on the intelligence from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Chu Yunfei lay on the Eight Immortals table and drew the movements of the three Japanese troops on the map as red arrows.
"Brother Chu, I think you can stay and serve as my advisor. I've never seen anyone with such standard and beautiful drawings."
"Even the staff officers at our headquarters can't get rid of you."
Li Yunlong took a look and couldn't help but praise.
"What's the point?" Chu Yunfei raised his head and glanced at Li Yunlong: "In Huangpu, drawing homework is the basis. If you can't even draw the lines correctly, why are you fighting?"
"There's nothing I can say about it," Li Yunlong said, "I can't draw accurately, so I'll still lead the troops to fight."
"I don't believe it." Chu Yunfei smiled, "I think you are quite familiar with using maps?"
"We are all born with the ability to read maps." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "I joined the Red Army and worked as a guard for the division commander. When we first looked at the map, we felt that it was not a map. Real mountains and rivers could be seen at a glance. The division commander scolded me and said, you are so fucking pretentious.
What do you mean by being knowledgeable? You point it out to me, and I go up and point out everything correctly. The teacher said to me, you are really a fucking genius."
Chu Yunfei laughed awkwardly, then pointed at the map and said: "Now the situation between the enemy and us is very obvious. This is your position. This is the Japanese Fourth Brigade, the 29th Brigade, and the 37th Division.
From the location, looking at the formation of the Japanese army, it seems that they are heading towards your Eighth Route Army headquarters."
"It doesn't seem like it," Li Yunlong said, "the Japanese are just coming for our Eighth Route Army headquarters."
After speaking, Li Yunlong picked up his pen and drew two more small arrows on Chenjiayu and Hanjiacun on the map.
Chu Yunfei looked confused and was about to ask, but Zhao Gang hurriedly walked in: "Old Li, you urgently asked me to come to the regiment headquarters. Are there any new movements by the Japanese?"
Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said: "Yes, the Japanese troops have begun to move. The 9th Brigade, the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade are currently approaching the base area from three directions."
Zhao Gang understood everything just by looking at the map, and said: "The enemy's formation is large enough, with two brigades and one division, but these are just smoke bombs, so there is nothing to fear."
He couldn't help but frown and said in confusion: "Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it? Is there something going on here?"
Li Yunlong pointed his finger at the two places he drew on the map, Chenjiayu and Hanjiacun, and said: "Yes, we have received intelligence in advance. There are two elite Japanese troops that will pass through Chenjiayu and Hanjiacun to attack us.
Headquarters, these three Japanese troops are just smoke bombs released by the Japanese to confuse us."
Li Yunlong was not afraid to tell Chu Yunfei the information, as long as he did not reveal the 100 tons of weapons and ammunition.
Chu Yunfei's face showed a look of surprise: "If the intelligence is accurate, then as long as the two groups of Japs, Hanjiacun and Chenjiayu, are killed, the Japanese army will retreat on their own."
Zhao Gang nodded: "Yes, the headquarters gave us an order for the new regiment to eat these two groups of Japanese troops."
Li Yunlong said coldly: "I want to play a big one this time."
Chu Yunfei asked subconsciously: "Brother Yunlong, what do you want to do?"
Li Yunlong was tough and had sharp eyes, and his tone was confident: "I not only want to eat these two groups of Japs, but I also want to eat the 9th Brigade in one bite."
Chu Yunfei and Zhao Gang were stunned when they heard this.
Chu Yunfei thought to himself, who gave you the courage to eat the Japanese elite 9th Brigade?
However, seeing the confident expression on Li Yunlong's face, Chu Yunfei couldn't guess for a moment whether Captain Li was just talking nonsense or trying to be serious.
"Lao Li, you?"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and swallowed back his words halfway.
Chu Yunfei asked with a surprised expression: "Brother Yunlong, are you kidding me? What did you just say that you wanted to eat the Japanese 9th Brigade?"
"Brother Chu, do you think I'm joking?"
Li Yunlong's tone was decisive: "I have long disliked the Japanese 9th Brigade. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I will eat it in one bite."
