In a forest about four or five hundred meters away from Beida Camp, Lieutenant Masaru Shimamoto, the captain of the Second Battalion of the Independent Guards of the Japanese Kwantung Army, looked at Lieutenant Koizumimura 2 standing in front of him with a calm face.
A frontline commander who was promoted just hours ago.
After walking back and forth twice, Shimamoto took a step forward and came to Koizumi Muranji, who was standing in front of him with his hands lowered and his head lowered. He stretched out his hand to twist a leaf off his shoulder, then reached out and patted him, "Koizumi-kun, thank you for your hard work."
, go down and rest!”
Koizumi Cun Er knocked his feet, and then said loudly, "Captain, my command was not good, which caused all the soldiers in a small team to die at the hands of the Chinese. Please punish me!"
"Haha, it's not your fault!" Masaichi Shimamoto pinched the fingertips of the white glove of his left hand with his right hand, and then said, "I carefully examined everything that has happened since its launch, and found that this army may be my
The most powerful force we have ever encountered is even comparable to the elite special force of our Kwantung Army - the Nobunaga Brigade!"
"What?!"
All the officers of the Second Battalion present were shocked. They were all too aware of the terror of Nobunaga's Brigade, which could be said to be a group of devils!
Oda Nobunaga, Japanese Oda Nobunaga was a Warring States Daimyo who was active in Japan's Azuchi-Momoyama period. He successfully controlled the political and cultural core areas of Japan, mainly the Kinki region, making the Oda clan the most powerful in the middle and late Warring States Period of Japan.
Because of his cold and ruthless nature, he is known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.
The Nobunaga Special Forces Forces, being named after this, shows that the founder of this special forces brigade is an out-and-out militarist hardliner, a figure who hopes to achieve great achievements through bloodshed and killing.
Most of the people selected for Nobunaga's special attack team are elites in the Japanese army, or people with special skills. These people are gathered in a secret base and undergo almost brutal training. Often a hundred people participate in the training, and only one can successfully come out alive.
With less than twenty or thirty, the elimination rate reached 70%.
Within the Japanese Kwantung Army, when the Nobunaga Special Forces are mentioned, soldiers have mixed emotions of reverence and fear, because this special forces team is not only ruthless when performing special tasks such as assassinations, sneak attacks, and infiltrations against the enemy, but also
His subordinates were also ruthless when dealing with targets in their own country and even within the Kwantung Army.
Now that they heard that the combat effectiveness of the team on the opposite side was comparable to that of the terrifying Nobunaga Special Forces, all the officers of the Second Battalion were dubious, thinking that their captain was exaggerating.
Seemingly sensing people's doubts, Shimamoto waved to everyone, then came to Squadron Leader Kawashima who was beaten to death by Luo Xiao, stretched out his finger and pointed at his body and said, "What do you think you think?"
All the Japanese officers observed carefully, and found no other clues except that there was a bullet hole in Captain Kawashima's head and that he had been shot to death.
Masaichi Shimamoto sighed, and then said, "Look, Kawashima was shot to death four to five hundred meters away. The opponent used was not a Czech rifle equipped by the Northeast Army, but a special caliber
rifle!"
"So, captain, what type of gun does this man use?" someone asked.
Shimamoto Masaichi shook his head and said, "I don't know. According to my memory, there is no such advanced rifle in the world so far?"
"But this doesn't mean that he is a special forces member of that group. Maybe he is a sharpshooter with a modified rifle!" Someone raised different objections, which seemed to overturn Shimamoto Masaichi's speculation.
Not only did Shimamoto Shoichi not look displeased, but he seemed very happy, "Well, you guys are starting to use your brains, and what you said seems to make sense, but -"
As he spoke, he pointed at the other corpses, which were densely covered on the ground. "If you look at the wounds of these people, you will find that most of them died from weapons with similar performance to the weapons used by that person, and they were not the same person.
, but a group of people!”
"What is this indicating?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shimamoto made a conclusion, "This shows that this team is not the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Beidaying, but a mysterious special forces team!"
Others may not believe it, but Masaichi Shimamoto is very sure that this is a special force, because he was once a member of Nobunaga's special force, but was later transferred here to serve as the captain due to necessity.
From the opponent's combat methods and weapons and equipment, he smelled a strong smell of special warfare, and the special warfare skills were very exquisite, flexible and unpredictable, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace behind!
"It looks like a tough enemy!" Shimamoto Shoichi muttered silently, but he was more excited than worried, "But that's okay, with such an opponent, the game is more interesting, hahahaha!"
Next, Masaru Shimamoto gave an order for the attacking team to pause and rest, waiting for the other two brigades of the independent defense team to arrive before making further plans!
Although they were dissatisfied with the captain's suspicion, his officers still strictly followed the order and asked his team to suspend the attack and wait for the arrival of the other two brigades!
…………
Time passed minute by minute, and now more than four hours had passed since 7pm on the 18th when the Japanese launched the Wicker Lake Incident.
During this period, the Japanese Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters received a call from the independent garrison and immediately held an emergency meeting. Commander Honjo Shige and his staff held consultations and analyzed the more than 9,000 Northeastern Army units in Beidaying.
The phenomenon of fleeing without fighting felt that this was an opportunity. The Kwantung Army should be tougher and launch a comprehensive operation to expel the Northeast Army in the Northeast!
In the end, the Kwantung Army headquarters decided that the Kwantung Army in the three northeastern provinces would launch a full-scale offensive and attack cities in Fengtian, Changchun, Harbin, Jinzhou and other cities respectively to carry out comprehensive operations.
For a time, the Japanese war machine was running at high speed, and the murderous Kwantung Army troops rushed out from their respective stations and went straight to the place where the Northeast Army was stationed.
As for Luo Xiao, Duan Ying, Cheng Tianlei and the others in the Beida camp, the Kwantung Army headquarters didn't take it seriously at all. In their opinion, the stubborn resistance of hundreds of people would have no effect at all, so they just ordered an independent defense
The three brigades of the army worked together to annihilate them. The appetite of the Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters was to control the entire Northeast, and then occupy Beijing, Tianjin, and even all of China.
Although the Japanese army did not pay much attention to the resistance of the hundreds of people in the Beida camp, they still dispatched the independent garrison's 1st Battalion of Uraharu Ogawara and 3rd Battalion of Fumio Iwata to rush in to support Masaichi Shimamoto of the 2nd Battalion.
In this way, two Japanese elite brigades rushed toward the northern camp with great enthusiasm. If the three teams merged, the total number of people would reach more than 3,400, which was several times the number of Luo Xiao and others.
