The independent mixed brigade is a brigade organization of the Japanese army. It is not affiliated with a certain division. It generally performs independent combat missions. It is mostly a garrison force and is equipped with light infantry weapons. As a tactical unit, they are good at carrying out operations.
Mountain warfare.
During World War II, the Japanese army had a total of 51 divisions and 39 mixed brigades. Among them, 35 divisions and 38 independent mixed brigades were deeply embedded in the Chinese battlefield; 11 divisions and 1 were sent to the strategic direction of the Pacific.
Mixed tour group.
This time, Commander Honjo Shigeru sent to Fengtian to assist Fujita Hikaru in the mopping up, the Japanese Army's independent mixed 8th Brigade and 38th Brigade, both of which are very combat-effective troops!
Originally, Fujita Hikaru had little hope for this raid, but when Commander Shigeru Honjo dispatched two mixed brigades, his hopes suddenly became stronger.
The strength of a mixed brigade is about 5,000, and the equipment is also different, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the 8th Mixed Brigade has a tank regiment under its jurisdiction, while the 18th Mixed Brigade is attached to it.
A field artillery regiment and two mountain artillery brigades are better at mountain combat!
The two mixed brigades, plus the 16th Regiment stationed in Fengtian City and the 29th Regiment of the Second Division transferred from Liaoyang, as well as local garrison troops such as the Japanese Fengtian Military Police, totaled a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people!
With such a large number of troops, Fujita Hikaru felt that even if the number of Luo Xiao's special forces increased tenfold, they would only be wiped out!
If Luo Xiao and the others could be eliminated during the sweep, Fujita Hikaru certainly didn't want Fujita Norika to take risks anymore, so he began to actively prepare, hoping to specify a more detailed plan, so that he could succeed in one fell swoop!
As orders were issued from the Japanese command center in the Marshal's Mansion, the Japanese troops in Fengtian City began to quickly assemble and enter a state of combat readiness.
The atmosphere in Fengtian City is becoming more and more tense. More and more Japanese soldiers are coming and going on the streets. Pedestrians passing by are all cautious, lest they anger these invaders and bring death to themselves.
…………
In the Shanhe Tea House, the shopkeeper Li Zheng was sitting in a secret basement under a house in the backyard. He was holding the collected information in his hands with a very serious look on his face.
Since yesterday, Fengtian City seemed to be in chaos. Information about the Japanese from all sides came in like snowflakes, catching him off guard for a while!
Li Zheng was originally the head of the logistics department of the Huya Special Operations Brigade, but was later transferred to serve as the shopkeeper of Shanhe Teahouse and began to take charge of the work of the intelligence station.
Having been engaged in logistics work for many years, Li Zheng has been trained to be very careful, and the people who came out of the special operations team have developed the courage to fear no matter what the situation is, so it is easy to take on the job of the shopkeeper.
Not to mention, Li Zheng is indeed very talented in running a business. In just over a month, he made Shanhe Tea House, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, very prosperous, even better than those businessmen who only focused on business. It's really
I’m so jealous of the businesses nearby!
However, Li Zheng always knew that he was engaged in intelligence work, and the teahouse was just a cover!
Just when Li was immersed in analyzing the intelligence, there was a sudden knock on the door of the secret room!
Li Zheng's body trembled and he woke up from his deep thoughts. He stood up from the table with a pistol equipped with a silencer in his hand. He walked to the door and stood against the wall.
The knock on the door paused for a moment, then started again, this time changing to a different rhythm. After a slight pause, it changed to another rhythm again!
The code was confirmed, and Li Zheng felt relieved. He reached out and opened the door, and then opened it a crack!
A figure flashed in from the crack in the door, stood in front of Li Zheng, and saluted him, "Director, Tang Tianhao sent someone to send information, saying that the Japanese army had given them an order to do a good job within ten days.
Prepare for battle and set out to raid the Qipanshan area in ten days!"
"Qipanshan area?!" Li Zheng's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He immediately thought of the Huxiaoling base. "It seems that the Japanese have noticed something and are going to take action!"
"yes"
The person who came was one of the main persons in charge of the intelligence station. He had just returned from collecting intelligence from outside. "Comrades who had infiltrated other Japanese and puppet agencies also sent intelligence. This time the Japanese used almost all the forces they could mobilize in the Fengtian area.
Moreover, two mixed brigades were mobilized from Japan, with a total strength of 50,000!"
"Does Instructor Yan know these things?" Li Zheng stabilized his mind, then stretched out his fingers to pinch the bridge of his nose, "The Japanese have so many troops, which is a test for the Huxiaoling Base!"
The person in charge of the intelligence agent stood aside. He looked at Li Zheng's serious expression and knew that this matter must be very serious. He could actually make the director of the department, who did not change his color even if the mountain collapsed, show such a nervous expression!
Li Zheng thought for a long time, then walked to the corner of the basement, took out an overclocked encrypted radio station the size of a cigarette box from an iron box, and turned on the button on it.
Different from traditional radio stations, this radio station communicates with Huxiaoling through an encrypted channel. As for confidentiality, let alone the broken monitoring equipment of the Japanese today, even if they develop for another fifty years, they will still have no clue.
Can't be found.
As he pressed a red button, Yan Beifeng's voice came out from the encrypted radio station's speaker, still sounding so kind, "Li Chu, why did you remember to call me!"
"Instructor Yan, the Japs in Fengtian may have made big moves recently. The intelligence I have collected shows that they will raid your area in ten days!" Li Zheng said in a deep voice, "This time the Japs have mobilized a force of
If you pay 50,000 yuan, you must be prepared!"
"Haha, Li Chu, don't worry. Don't worry about the Japanese coming. Even if 50,000 Japanese come, they won't get any benefits even if 150,000 Japanese come!" Yan Beifeng on the encrypted radio station didn't seem nervous at all;
With a bit of excitement, "It seems you should come back and take a look when you have time, so that you know what the current Huxiaoling Base looks like!"
"Really, then I really want to go back and take a look when I have time!" After Yan Beifeng said this, Li Zheng's curiosity was aroused, and he decided to go back to Huxiaoling Base to take a look when he had time.
Why is Yan Beifeng so confident!
The two people talked for a few more words before turning off the encrypted radio station!
"Director, what should we do next?" Seeing Li Zheng turn off the encrypted radio station, the head of the intelligence agent asked nervously, "What are the instructions from the base?"
Li Zheng's expression seemed to be much more relaxed, and he said with a smile, "The base has been prepared, and we are told not to worry, as long as we do a good job of intelligence collection, there are special forces to deal with the Japanese's mopping up troops!"
After hearing what Li Zheng said, the person in charge of the intelligence agent felt relieved!
Next, Li Zheng reassigned the staff of the intelligence station. Both latent personnel and peripheral personnel were working at full speed in order to collect the most timely information about the Japanese!
