Headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan.
Kazuki Yamamoto, dressed in military uniform, walked into the headquarters with a saber in hand, walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka, clicked his steps together, and said with a pause: "General!"
Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head and said, "Yamamoto-kun, are you back?"
"Hi!" Yamamoto Kazuki said, "This time we failed to behead the leader of the Eighth Route Army, please let the general punish him!"
On the way, Kazuki Yamamoto had already ordered Goro Oga to send a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka that the special agent team had failed in the battle.
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yamamoto-kun, punishing the crime is not the main thing. The important thing is to find out the reasons from this failure, learn from it, and don't make the same mistake next time. There is no victorious general in this world, no matter how powerful it is."
Generals also have weaknesses, and there are times when they lose battles. I hope you, Yamamoto-kun, will not be hit hard by this failure, and you must have full confidence in your special operations!"
Although the Yamamoto Special Agent Team lost the battle, Yoshio Shinozuka not only did not punish him, but instead comforted Kazuki Yamamoto.
Because he knew that Kazuki Yamamoto was not the reason for Yamamoto's special agent team's defeat. Yamamoto Kazuki was still very capable.
Yoshio Shinozuka is still very interested in and full of confidence in Yamamoto Kazuki's special operations.
A trace of gratitude showed on Yamamoto Kazuki's face: "I am truly lucky to be able to fight with the general. Your kindness in knowing and meeting me will never be forgotten by Yamamoto Kazuki in my life..."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and then asked: "So, Yamamoto-kun, what was the reason that led to the failure of this beheading operation?"
Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "The main reason for the failure of this decapitation operation was the leakage of intelligence!"
Yoshio Shinozuka said in shock: "Any occupying army, no matter how professional its intelligence system is, is always at a disadvantage, because we are in the enemy's territory, and every living being living on this land is at a disadvantage.
It may be enemy intelligence personnel, including the puppet troops who appear to be submissive to us, but this beheading plan was formulated under top-secret circumstances, how could the intelligence be leaked?"
Kazuki Yamamoto.
"General, although it is unbelievable, it is the fact!"
"The Eighth Route Army obviously knew when the special agent team would pass through Yangcun. They made full preparations in Yangcun and were waiting for the special agent team to come!"
"And this Eighth Route seems to be special!"
"Special?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "What's so special about it?"
"This Eighth Route Army seems to understand special operations."
"They are all equipped with German automatic weapons. Their heavy firepower includes Maxim heavy machine guns, 60mm mortars and 75mm field guns!"
"Even the grenades they use are German M24 grenades!"
"I have reason to suspect that a German weapons unit has appeared in the Eighth Route Army!"
"This is impossible!" Yoshio Shinozuka said flatly, "It is absolutely impossible for our allies to sell or support weapons to China!"
In 1937, Germany formally formed an alliance with Japan. In order to show goodwill to Japan, Germany recognized Japan's puppet Manchukuo in China and withdrew German support to China.
"General, please trust my judgment!" Yamamoto Kazuki said, "The weapons used by the Eighth Route Army in this battle are indeed German equipment!"
If the equipment of the Eighth Route Army had not been so good, Yamamoto believed that with the combat effectiveness of the special agent team, even if the Eighth Route Army had been prepared, it would never have been defeated!
At this moment, intelligence staff officer An Teng Takeo walked in with a folder.
He walked up to Shinozuka Yoshio, then paused and said: "Report to the commander, the number of the eighth route that fought with the special agent team in Yangcun has been found out!"
Yoshio Shinozuka asked: "Which Eighth Route Army is it?"
Yamamoto Kazuki also turned his head, his eyes fixed on Takeo Andeng. He wanted to know at whose hands he had lost.
An Tengwunan said: "The new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the leader is Li Yunlong!"
"Li Yunlong?" Yoshio Shinozuka stood up in surprise, "It's actually him?"
Yamamoto Kazuki also shrank slightly when he heard this.
Just a few days ago, he didn't take Li Yunlong seriously, and he never expected that he would be defeated by this person a few days later.
Yoshio Shinozuka then asked: "Mr. An Teng, I have ordered you twice to check Li Yunlong's information. How is your investigation going?"
"Report to Commander, it has been found..." Takeo Anteng picked up the document and read it.
Yamamoto Kazuki listened, he wanted to know what kind of guy it was that defeated him.
"Li Yunlong's resume states that he participated in the Jute Riots organized by the CCP in 1927, and later transferred to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the CCP. His previous positions are unknown."
"It is reported that Li once participated in the CCP's so-called Long March strategic retreat. He is a relatively senior officer in the CCP army and has made many military exploits. The reasons for his meritorious service are unknown."
"The current commander of the New Regiment of the 129th Division of the 18th National Revolutionary Group Army of the Chinese Communist Army. He has no military rank."
"Character: Unruly, courageous, perseverant, flexible and changeable in his way of thinking. He often uses reverse thinking and does not stick to formalities. He is a typical realist."
"Poor discipline and good at doing deviant things."
Andeng Takeo quickly added: "This person lacks interest in politics, has a low level of education, and has no military education."
"Specialties: Rich experience in actual combat, extremely stable psychological quality during combat, proficient in shooting, proficient in using various light weapons, trained in combat and swordsmanship, subject to Chinese martial arts, the extent is unknown!"
After finishing speaking, Takeo Anten closed the folder and said that the report was completed.
"Do you have a photo of Li Yunlong?" Kazuki Yamamoto wanted to know what this bastard Li Yunlong looked like.
Iteng Takeo paused and said: "Yamamoto Daizuo, not yet!"
"Baga!" Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
Yoshio Shinozuka felt a dull pain in his chest, and there was a stuffy feeling in his mouth that he couldn't spit out.
The Japanese army had a first-class intelligence system, but they collected only fragmented information about Li Yunlong.
An Teng Wunan's face turned pale with fright, he lowered his head and did not dare to move or say a word.
At this moment, communications staff officer Toshimatsu Kasai walked in hurriedly.
Seeing this, Yoshio Shinozuka waved to Takeo Andeng, indicating that he could go out.
Takeo Andeng nodded to Yoshio Shinozuka, then glanced gratefully at Toshimatsu Kasai before walking out.
After Takeo Andeng left, Kasai Toshimatsu said: "Report to Commander, Yamamoto Daizuo! A call came from the Gaoqiao Brigade stationed in Shouyang County. The Second Combat Team of the Special Agent Team and the Tanaka Team were attacked in the Shouyang County Prisoner of War Camp. Everyone.
Broken jade!"
"Nani?" Yamamoto Kazuki said in shock, "Which troop did it?"
"It's still under investigation for now!" Kasai Toshimatsu said, "But Captain Takahashi found traces of 9mm caliber bullets and German hand grenades outside the prisoner of war camp!"
"Baga... Yalu!" Yamamoto Kazuki instantly understood that this was Li Yunlong's pursuer, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Li, Yun, Long!"
