Chapter 583 Low-profile version of Yamamoto Agent Team

Of course Shinozuka Yoshio's Operation Plan A was not as unoriginal as a simple sweep, and he had already anticipated Okamura Neji's words, which played right into his plans.

At that moment, he said calmly: "Your Excellency, Commander, how to break the Eighth Route Army into pieces and break out separately is the core content of Operation Plan A!"

"Oh? Really?" Okamura Neiji finally became interested, and this was exactly the issue he was concerned about, so he added: "In that case, you might as well talk about how to break the Eighth Route Army into parts."

"Hey!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused slightly at first, and then said: "The method is very simple, which is to form a large number of special forces to conduct reconnaissance and positioning of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, division headquarters, and even brigade headquarters and regiment headquarters."

"Then guide the main force of the mopping up imperial army to carry out precise attacks on it!"

"As long as the imperial army destroys the Eighth Route Army's headquarters, divisions, brigades, and even the regimental headquarters of each regiment."

"Then the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang and Taiyue bandit areas will lose unified and effective command and become a group of headless flies, trapped in the dilemma of fighting on their own, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced."

"At that time, the sweeping imperial troops will be able to carry out more intensive sweeps in squadrons or even squads, defeating the small units of the Eighth Route Army one by one!"

"As long as we sweep back and forth a few times, even if we cannot wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area, it will be enough to severely damage them so that they can no longer pose any threat to the imperial army."

"At that time, the imperial army can concentrate on dealing with the Central Army of China, conquer the Chiang government, and create a Greater East Asia glory circle just around the corner!"

As he spoke, Yoshio Shinozuka's voice gradually rose in pitch, and a look of pride could not help but appear on his face.

This tactic was a solution he came up with after gathering the brains of the entire 1st Army and thinking about it for a long time.

This old devil is very sure that there is no better choice other than Operation Plan A.

In fact, if there was a better choice, the Japanese army in North China would no longer have to worry about how to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

However, after Okamura Neji listened to Shinozuka Yoshio's story, his old face instantly darkened, and even his eyes became colder than ever before. He was really angry.

"Shinozuka-kun, haven't you had enough fun?"

"Play?" Shinozuka Yoshio looked confused. He originally thought that Okamura Neji would praise him greatly after listening to his story, and then happily adopt his No. A combat plan, but he did not expect that the other party would actually be angry.

He couldn't help but asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean by this?"

"Did I make a mistake?" Neji Okamura's face was still gloomy: "That guy Yamamoto Kazuki talks clearly, but in practice he is a mess. It's all just talk on paper!"

"Because of his stupidity, Hattori-kun and 6 other imperial commanders were captured. In addition, he also crushed a dozen imperial majors and more than 200 outstanding junior commanders of the empire!"

"This is simply the greatest shame in the history of the empire!"

"Originally, it has been so long that I no longer want to worry about it, but I didn't expect that you still have the nerve to mention it again!"

Shinozuka Yoshio hurriedly defended: "Your Excellency, Commander, Yamamoto Kazuki was not responsible for the ambush of the battlefield observation group.

Because I have repeatedly reminded Hattori-kun not to get too far forward and just observe from a safe position, but he refused to listen and insisted on going deep into the front line, which led to him falling into the ambush set by the Eighth Route Army."

Okamura Neiji: "Okay, even if the annihilation of the battlefield observation group has nothing to do with Yamamoto Kazuki, can Yamamoto Kazuki achieve convincing results?"

Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the Yamamoto special forces did not achieve convincing results, they still showed their value in the raid on Mansion Bay a few months ago."

"At that time, Yamamoto's special agent team encountered the newly transferred independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Yangcun. With an absolutely inferior force, they killed more than 200 Eighth Route Army soldiers, but Yamamoto's special agent team suffered no casualties."

"Except for the Yamamoto Special Forces, I really can't think of any other unit that can achieve such results."

Even if Okamura Neji is not optimistic about Yamamoto Kazuki and his special operations, he cannot deny the achievements they achieved in the Yangcun encounter.

When Shinozuka Yoshio saw that Okamura Neji no longer denied the Yamamoto special forces, he continued: "Furthermore, according to reliable intelligence, the Eighth Route Army also formed a special operations force. During the Hundred Regiment Battle, the Imperial Army's armored train was

This special operations unit of the Eighth Route Army stole it.

It was precisely because the armored train was robbed that the imperial army failed in the subsequent battle."

"This also proves from the side the role of special operations forces and special operations. They can completely influence the outcome of a war!"

"Moreover, only special operations forces can deal with the special operations forces of the Eighth Route Army."

Okamura Neiji was finally shaken. He hesitated for a moment and said: "However, setting up a special force is a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. Even if the imperial army has such energy and financial resources, I'm afraid they don't have that much time."

"No, no, no!" Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "It is indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive to form an elite special operations force like the Yamamoto Special Forces, but if it is just to perform some simple tasks, such as tracking and locating the command structures of the Eighth Route Army at all levels, etc.

, then ordinary special operations forces will be able to do the job."

"So, we only need to use the Yamamoto Special Forces as a model to create some low-end versions of special operations forces."

“In this way, not only the cost can be greatly reduced, but also the time can be greatly reduced!”

"With Yamamoto-kun and his special forces as instructors, I believe we can train several low-end special forces teams within a month."

Yoshio Shinozuka did not know that Yamamoto Kazuki and his special agent team had been completely wiped out in Zhaojiayu. Moreover, the Japanese army was going to conduct a raid on the Eighth Route Army's Taihang base area, and the preliminary preparations would take at least a month.

Okamura Neiji suddenly became energetic: "Shinozuka-kun, are you saying that this low-end version of the special operations force can be established within a month?"

"Hey!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused heavily: "One month is enough. This low-end version of the special operations force can be called an advance team!"

Okamura Neiji finally came to his senses. The performance of the Yamamoto special forces may have disappointed him, but after all, they were still a special forces unit, and their combat effectiveness was unquestionable.

This is proved by the encounter in Yangcun.

Under the same conditions, they can defeat one against ten. Under certain conditions, they can even defeat one against a hundred.

Moreover, the capabilities they can perform such as infiltration, surprise attacks, and beheadings are not available to conventional troops.

The main reason why Okamura Neji copied Yamamoto's Agents in this way is that he had too high expectations for Yamamoto's Agents before, but Yamamoto's Agents failed to give him enough reward.

In addition, the cost of establishing and training Yamamoto's special agent team is too high.

The funds of one special agent team member can almost support a squadron of Japanese soldiers...
