Wang Chengzhu did not report the penicillin matter to the brigade commander and division commander, not because he did not believe them, but mainly because the matter was of great importance and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Otherwise, if the Japanese special high school or military special agents learn that the Eighth Route Army has mastered the purification technology of penicillin, the consequences will be extremely serious.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

First of all, the Chongqing government will definitely use various means to obtain this technology, overtly or covertly.

In addition, the Japanese army will definitely be greedy, and then send heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, and even temporarily shift the focus of the attack from the National Army to the Eighth Route Army.

After all, not only the Eighth Route Army soldiers suffered non-combat sacrifices due to lack of medical treatment for their injuries, but the Japanese also suffered from the lack of anti-inflammatory drugs.

The most important thing is that the purification technology of penicillin is not only related to the treatment of injured soldiers, this technology is also equivalent to a golden mountain.

Whoever masters this technology is equivalent to possessing an inexhaustible gold mountain.

By then, even though the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness has changed from what it once was, it is still far from being a match for the main force of the Japanese army.

Wang Chengzhu was not worried that Kitano Kenzo would reveal this news, because as the exclusive agent, he wanted to protect this secret book more than anyone else.

Once this secret is known to the top brass of the Japanese army, his path to wealth will be cut off.

Although many important personnel within the Osaka Division knew that they were going to the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi to do business with the Eighth Route Army, they did not know about the Penicillin incident.

Regarding the situation of penicillin, only the division commander Kitano Kenzo and his adjutant knew about it. Even the chief of staff and the two brigade commanders under his jurisdiction knew nothing about it...

3 days later.

Taiyuan City, Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Miyano Jun held a thick stack of documents and reported the status of the raid plan to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

"The 41st Division of the Imperial Army and the 27th Division of the Imperial Army have sealed off the outskirts of the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi and have begun to collect all intelligence information about the Taihang Bandit Area of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

At present, with the assistance of the advancing team, they have mastered a lot of information about the Eighth Route Army, and they can just wait for the arrival of the 4th Imperial Army Division to launch a large-scale sweep of the Taihang Bandit Area!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and asked, "Where is the 4th Division now?"

Miyano Jun: "The 4th Division set out from Taishouyang County five days ago. It is expected that it will arrive at the western foot of Taihang Mountain in another three days."

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but said in surprise: "Nani? Will the 4th Division reach the northern foot of Taihang Mountain in just three days?"

If it were an ordinary army, even if it was heavily equipped, it would only take four or five days to reach the western foot of Taihang Mountain from Shouyang.

However, the 4th Division, also known as the Osaka Division, is obviously not an ordinary army, because it took them two full days to travel from Taiyuan to Jinzhong, which is only 30 kilometers.

According to their daily walking speed of 15 kilometers, it would take at least more than half a month to reach the western foothills of Taihang Mountain in southeastern Shanxi from Shouyang.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka was surprised when he learned that the Osaka Division only needed seven or eight days to reach the western foothills of the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi from Shouyang.

"Hey!" Miyano Shun said after a fierce pause, and reported: "The Osaka Division has not only improved its speed, but in addition, their sick and wounded are almost healed. They seem to have overcome it.

The problem of acclimatization.”

Hearing this, a chrysanthemum-like smile suddenly appeared on Shinozuka Yoshio's face: "Yo Xi! It seems that the Osaka Division has finally returned from its lost ways and is ready to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire wholeheartedly."

Miyano Toshido: "Although the Osaka Division is often out of work, it is a standing Class A division after all. In particular, the Osaka Division has extremely abundant supplies and its living standard is far higher than other divisions.

In addition, since the Osaka Division participated in relatively few battles and the soldiers had almost no casualties, almost all of the current Osaka Division are veterans, and their combat effectiveness is unquestionable.

As long as the Osaka Division can contribute 50% of its efforts this time, then this mopping up plan will be successfully concluded."

"I hope so..."

The two old Japanese soldiers Shinozuka Yoshio and Miyano Shun thought that the people of the Osaka Division had changed their temper, and they couldn't help but start to imagine the situation when the Osaka Division used all its firepower to sweep the Taihang Base of the Eighth Route Army.

Little did they know that the reason why the Osaka Division was speeding up was just because they wanted to get the penicillin in Wang Chengzhu's hands as quickly as possible.

…

The screen pulls back to the southeastern Shanxi region.

Wang Chengzhu has returned to Majiapo Regiment Headquarters from the 129th Division Headquarters.

Wang Chengzhu had just inspected the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and the Penicillin production workshops. After confirming that the workshops were producing normally and that there were no problems with production capacity and product quality, he returned to the regiment headquarters.

At this time, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Wang Shugen, suddenly rushed in from outside: "Report! Commander, during our routine patrol, our reconnaissance battalion discovered a group of Japs pretending to be our Eighth Route Army."

"These little devils are wearing the uniforms of our Eighth Route Army, and several of them can speak our Chinese language.

If our reconnaissance battalion had not had a special mission and observed things more carefully than ordinary troops, we would have almost been fooled by these little devils."

Wang Chengzhu's expression suddenly froze, and then the information about the "Continental Advance Team" appeared in his mind.

And blurted out: "Continental Advance Team!"

As an extra actor with experience in hundreds of anti-war dramas, Wang Chengzhu is naturally no stranger to the Japanese's mainland advance team.

Except for their limbs and heads, which are made in Japan, everything else about the mainland advance team must be exactly the same as that of the Chinese soldiers. They belong to the Japanese armed special agents. Their mission is to sneak into the rear of the Chinese troops, disrupt China's defense lines, and serve as the vanguard for the attacking troops.

and open the channel.

Almost all the Japanese who are qualified in the mainland advance team can speak fluent Chinese.

They are familiar with the passwords and command patterns of the Chinese army, and often go behind Chinese positions to perform special tasks such as attacks, assassinations, and reconnaissance.

They wear Chinese military uniforms or civilian clothes when operating in China's hinterland, and use Chinese military weapons, which makes it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake, and is extremely harmful.

The Continental Advance Team was a makeup assault force specially established by the Japanese intelligence training agency and composed mainly of Nakano School graduates.

The Japanese Army Nakano School is a special school established by the Japanese Army that focuses on espionage activities.

Most of the students in this school have a high educational background. They are instilled with fanatical militaristic ideas as soon as they enter the school, and they imitate the lives of soldiers or civilians of other countries in a targeted manner. During the study period, they are not allowed to speak Japanese and can only speak what they imitate.

The language of the country.

It is said that students in the Chinese class must go to China for internship before obtaining their graduation certificate, and they are required to be able to live with Chinese people without being discovered to be qualified.

In addition to the mainland advance team, there are other Southeast Asian advance teams.

These guys are engaged in espionage, subversion, reconnaissance and other activities throughout the East Asian battlefield. They can be seen in Java, the Truk Islands, the Soviet-Mongolian border or the jungles of Vietnam...

Wang Shugen was stunned and said: "Captain, what is the Mainland Advancement Team?"
Chapter completed!
