Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka secretly reviewed the Masuko advance team and Okawa advance team.
He was very satisfied with the result. The two advancing teams were equipped with advanced detection equipment.
Among them were elite Japanese soldiers who were proficient in Chinese and familiar with the organization of the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, a lot of attention was paid to the details. The military uniforms worn by the two Japanese soldiers were ripped from the corpses of Eighth Route Army soldiers, rather than newly manufactured uniforms.
The weapons used were also varied, including Hanyang-made, Liao-13 rifles, 38-type rifles, Czech-style rifles, and the grenades used were all made in the Eighth Route Army Border Region.
These weapons and ammunition were captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield.
Yoshio Shinozuka was very pleased to see Kazuki Yamamoto working so hard behind the scenes. What he needed around him were hard-working talents like Yamamoto.
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yamamoto-kun, how confident are you about this decapitation operation?"
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Of course it's the truth."
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Conservatively estimated, there is at most a 60% chance of winning!"
"Sixty percent chance of winning?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, "What if the special agent team takes action?"
"At most 80%!" Yamamoto Kazuki said, "Until the headquarters finds out the culprits in the headquarters, unless you personally give the order, the general, the special agent team will not take action easily!"
When talking about the 80% chance of winning, Yamamoto Kazuki was full of confidence.
This Japs has been looking forward to achieving a record and revolutionizing the strategies and tactics of the entire Japanese Army.
The special agent team does not exist in the remote mountains of Shanxi, relying on the support of Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka.
After killing the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and then the Second China Theater Command, the Imperial Army will attach great importance to the special agent team.
Not only will it innovate tactics, it will also provide a broader stage for the special forces, such as a sneak attack on Chang Kaishen's official residence and capture the bald chairman.
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Our intelligence officers lurking around Yan Xishan have received news that more than a dozen of Yan's senior officers have suddenly disappeared recently. Intelligence shows that they went to Liaoyang at the invitation of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army.
The two armies were engaged in exchanges in the area. From the map, Liaoyang is only 30 kilometers away from the Huting stronghold. At such a short distance, what level is the equivalent Eighth Route Army? So I judged that the Eighth Route Army headquarters is in the Liaoyang area.
As long as the advancing team carries detection equipment and infiltrates into Liaoyang, they will soon be able to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and launch a surprise attack."
"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "The man at the Eighth Route Army headquarters has finally shown his true nature. The 9th Brigade and the 29th Brigade are under your command. In addition, I will also order the 36th Division to move south to put pressure on the Eighth Route Army.
"
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "With the addition of the 36th Division, when my advancing team succeeds, the Eighth Route Army units will fall into fighting on their own. The three armies will encircle them again and wipe out the Eighth Route Army headquarters in one fell swoop."
"Yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, "The Eighth Route Army's communication methods are very poor. There is not even a radio station at the regiment level, and they are far apart from each other. Once the Eighth Route Army loses its command system, the remaining Eighth Route Army will be nothing but useless.
It's just a fly on the head, nothing to be afraid of."
After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "The observation group led by Major General Hattori Naoomi, commander of the 21st Brigade directly under the North China Front, arrived yesterday. The observation group will be close to the battlefield to observe. Yamamoto-kun, you can perform to your heart's content."
"Hi!" Yamamoto Kazuki said, "General, please tell Major General Hattori Naoomi and let him wait and see!"
If a special agent team carried out this beheading mission, Yamamoto would definitely be disgusted if someone treated it as a performance.
However, it was the advance team that mainly carried out the beheading operations, so he did not feel any discomfort at all. After all, although he was the protagonist this time, he did not need to perform on stage.
"Hey!" Shinozuka Yoshio said happily, "Then I will wait for Yamamoto-kun's good news."
…
A group of more than a hundred cavalrymen rode on the winding mountain road.
The camera zoomed in, and it was the Jinsui Army observation group.
A dozen officers of the Jinsui Army entered the Eighth Route Army base area under the protection of a Jinsui Army cavalry company.
Directly ahead, three cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army were blocking the road. A group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers and cavalry reined in their reins and stopped ten meters away.
"Salute!" Upon seeing the Jinsui Army observation group, the headquarters security company commander and two guards raised their hands and saluted.
After the Jinsui Army returned the salute, the guard company commander said: "By order of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, welcome all friendly troops!"
"You're welcome!" Brigadier Yang of the Jinsui Army asked, "Where is the boss now?"
The guard company commander replied: "The boss is waiting for you at the station."
"How far is it?"
"It's still thirty miles from here."
"Then please lead the way."
"please!"
At this time, Chu Yunfei suddenly asked: "How far is the new regiment of your 386th brigade from here?"
"The New Regiment's station is not far from here." The guard company commander said, "If this friendly soldier wants to go to the New Regiment, he can go straight there."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Chu is interested in taking a look."
"Okay!" Brigadier Yang said, "On behalf of all of us, Commander Chu, go and have a look, learn humbly and work together to conspire to resist the enemy and protect the Jin Dynasty."
"Yes!" Chu Yunfei saluted with a military salute.
In fact, Chu Yunfei came to this observation group just because of Li Yunlong.
If the Japs' observation group was purely for exchange and learning, then the Jinsui Army's observation group was a bit different.
The first is to connect emotionally. Everyone fights side by side in the same trench. Battalion and regiment-level officers communicate with each other and get to know each other. Not only do they exchange experiences, but they also enhance mutual feelings and lay a good foundation for future cooperation.
The second is to learn from each other. Objectively speaking, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army have their own strengths in soldier training, combat methods, and daily management. Through exchanges between the two sides, we can learn from the strengths of friendly armies.
The third is to find out the details. Officers with a long-term vision predict that the two sides will have a battle in the future. Through observation, they can not only understand the details of the opponent, but also collect intelligence from the commander.
At that moment, the guard company commander turned his head and waved back, and the Eighth Route Army Cavalry emerged from behind the slope a few hundred meters away.
This was not over yet, and then more and more Eighth Route Army cavalry emerged from behind the slope. After these Eighth Route Army cavalry emerged, they formed a cavalry formation and began to charge.
Moreover, these Eighth Route Cavalry still charged with their sabers, and the sharp blades reflected a bright cold light, which chilled their muscles!
Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, the Eighth Route Army cavalry surged forward like a hurricane.
The horses under the Jinsui Army cavalry all neighed uneasily, and even several officers and most of the Jinsui Army cavalry showed fear on their faces.
"They are all made of Japanese horses. It looks like there is no less than a cavalry battalion. When did the Eighth Route Army have a cavalry battalion equipped with all Japanese horses?"
The cavalry company commander of the Jinsui Army narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered.
"Regiment leader, just talking about the pressure of this charge, this Eighth Route Cavalry is more fierce than the elite cavalry of the Japanese army. We have no cavalry in the Jinsui Army..."
Chu Yunfei's adjutant, Sun Ming, rode to Chu Yunfei's side and lowered his voice and said, but before he could finish the last sentence, Chu Yunfei stopped him with his eyes.
Sun Ming understood instantly and glanced at the other officers, but none of them looked here. It's hard to say whether they heard or not.
Chu Yunfei turned to look at the Eighth Route Cavalry. His originally casual expression became a little serious!
The momentum of this Eighth Route Cavalry can definitely be called Wolf Cavalry.
If a group of officers were not here, the cavalry company of the Jinsui Army would probably turn around and run away when they saw such cavalry.
Entering within 100 meters of the Jinsui Army observation group, the leader of the Eighth Route Cavalry stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and made a gesture.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to slow down and began to change positions during the process of deceleration.
When the Eighth Route Army cavalry stopped more than ten meters away from the Jinsui Army observation group, they had already formed a cavalry formation hundreds of meters wide in three rows.
It moves like a rabbit and is as quiet as a virgin.
All the officers of the Jinsui Army looked at each other, and some officers could not help but gasp. The riding skills of this group of Eighth Route Cavalry were a bit impressive.
Brigadier Yang looked a little unhappy and asked: "Just give us a blow when we come up. Is this the way your Eighth Route Army treats guests?"
The guard company commander was also a little proud. The momentum of the new regiment's cavalry battalion's charge just now really scared this group of Jinsui troops.
The timid cavalrymen's faces turned green with fear.
The guard company commander looked as usual and said: "The friendly forces have misunderstood. It's okay. The cavalry battalion of the new regiment happens to be training nearby to protect the safety of all friendly forces."
Then, the guard company commander turned to Sun Desheng and said: "Battle Commander Sun, this Commander Chu is going to your new regiment and tell your commander that this is the guest of the deputy commander-in-chief."
After all, this was on the territory of the Eighth Route Army. Brigadier Yang just snorted, turned his horse's head and continued to lead the team forward.
At that moment, Chu Yunfei came over on horseback.
"Captain Chu." Sun Desheng saluted Chu Yunfei, "Please."
Chu Yunfei returned a military salute: "Please!"
Then, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming, escorted by the cavalry battalion, rode their horses and whipped their whips to Yangcun.
When they arrived near Yangcun, the cavalry team slowed down and walked slowly on the mountain road.
"Commander, is there something wrong with this Eighth Route Army unit?"
Riding a military horse, Sun Ming gently pulled the reins of the military horse, walked to Chu Yunfei, and whispered: "As we walked along, almost all the Eighth Route Army soldiers we saw were wearing gray woolen coats. The material used is better than ours."
The uniforms of the Sui Army are all good."
"Forget it."
"Whether it is cavalry or infantry, this new regiment is equipped with rifles that I have never seen before."
"I have seen 38 rifles, Chinese regular rifles, Liao 13 rifles, Hanyang-made rifles, etc., but I have never seen this kind of rifle."
"Last time in Hulugou, the new regiment used 38-type rifles. Is this a rifle made by the Eighth Route Army arsenal?"
As Chu Yunfei's adjutant and a graduate of the military academy's martial arts hall, Sun Ming also failed to recognize the rifle equipped by the new regiment's soldiers.
"The Eighth Route Army does not have such superb craftsmanship to make such a rifle."
"This is American equipment, a Garand semi-automatic rifle. It's normal if you haven't seen it before. I've only seen pictures of it."
After a pause, Chu Yunfei said in a confused tone: "It's very strange, where did they get so much American equipment?"
