How could Yoshio Shinozuka not understand this truth?
But now that Li Yunlong's team is full of wings, it's not that easy to solve.
What's more, the idiots in the intelligence department only have a little information about Li Yunlong, and they don't even know where the new regiment is stationed.
Miyano Michichi also said that he would use the intelligence department of the North China Front to investigate Li Yunlong when he returned. So far, there has been no news about Li Yunlong.
"Yamamoto-kun's words make sense. It may be difficult for Li Yunlong's Ministry to solve the problem now, so let's get help from Li Yunlong's Ministry."
"This task will be left to you, Yamamoto-kun. Find me a channel to assist Li Yunlong, cut off his weapon assistance channels, and cut off his wings."
"This is a plan to draw fuel from under the cauldron."
"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto said after a pause, "Before finding out Li Yunlong's aid channels, I hope that I will be able to command the intelligence system of the First Army."
"Of course, Yamamoto-kun, you are also quite accomplished in the field of intelligence." Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "It's also good for the idiots in the intelligence department to see how top-notch intelligence masters obtain information."
Yamamoto said: "Once Li Yunlong's aid channels are investigated, the special agent team will attack and destroy his weapons channels."
Yoshio Shinozuka said in surprise: "Oh? Isn't your target the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Chief of Staff of the Second China War Zone? Why are you also interested in such small targets this time?"
Although Yamamoto Kazuki has no achievements yet, he has always been very vocal, either beheading Yan Laoxi or beheading Principal Chang.
In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka was also betting that he would have nothing to lose even if the beheading failed, but what if Kazuki Yamamoto succeeded?
Then it will be his honor, Shinozuka Yoshio.
Yamamoto paused slightly and said, "General, I'm afraid you made a mistake in your judgment this time."
"The Eighth Route Army and the Chinese government forces have always been at odds with each other. It is impossible for the Chinese government forces to provide equipment to the Eighth Route Army."
"What's more, the weapons in Li Yunlong's hands basically come from abroad."
"Based on the battle with Li Yunlong's tribe in Yangcun, the weapons in the hands of Li Yunlong's tribe are all German."
"Then I can infer from this that the anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns used by the Eighth Route Army to attack the 7th Tank Regiment this time should also be of German origin."
"It is impossible for Germany to assist the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army has ambiguous relations with the so-called Communist International, so I judge that the source of this batch of weapons is the Soviet Union."
"Normally, the Soviet Union needs to go through the Nationalist Government to assist the Eighth Route Army, and they provide covert assistance, so they deliberately purchase German equipment."
"Judging from the current intelligence, the Soviet Union does not have much equipment to assist the Eighth Route Army, only one to two regiments of German weapons and equipment at most."
"So, this must be a Soviet conspiracy against our Empire of Japan."
What special forces like to do most is to sabotage other countries' conspiracies, and Kazuki Yamamoto is no exception.
The key is to destroy the conspiracy of other countries and prevent the other country from grasping any clues and unable to tell the story of its sufferings.
"Hey!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, thinking that Yamamoto Kazuki's words made sense. Who was most likely to aid the Eighth Route Army was, of course, the Soviet Union in the north.
Now, due to the large-scale implementation of the cage policy in North China, large-scale aid from enemy countries cannot enter the Eighth Route Base Area, but that will not be known for sure in the future.
Thinking of this possibility, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly couldn't sit still.
…
In Yangcun, the new regiment headquarters.
"The 400 recruits that the brigade commander promised us and a dozen company and platoon-level officers have arrived. They are at the grain drying field. Do you, the regiment commander, want to say a few words and mention their morale first?"
Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters. The recruits from a battalion who had been looking forward to the stars and the moon finally arrived. Zhao Gang was very happy.
"There's nothing to talk about. The instructors have already talked about what they need to talk about when they were in the teaching group."
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said:
"Let the battalion commanders select their own people and assign them to each battalion. By the way, let the artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu pick first."
"Our artillery battery has been expanded into an artillery battalion, and we need to add a lot of artillery. All artillery soldiers are treasures."
"Okay then." Zhao Gang turned around and said a few words to the guard Xiao Li, who then went to notify the communications troops, who then notified the battalion commanders to select people.
Zhao Gang sat cross-legged on the kang and said:
"Six mountain guns and 2,000 rounds of artillery shells also arrived in the morning. Now our new regiment has 14 75mm mountain field guns."
"Including the original 17 cannons, there are 31 cannons. This is the equipment of an artillery regiment. You don't really want to start an artillery regiment, do you?"
"If you want to make trouble, you also need to make a mountain artillery regiment." Li Yunlong said, "A dozen mountain field guns and a dozen mortars combined are also called an artillery regiment?"
"I plan to distribute more than a dozen guns from the original artillery battery to each battalion to enhance battalion and company-level firepower."
"Let Zhuzhu's artillery battalion serve our 12 American mountain cannons."
This guy is a mountain gunner as soon as he opens his mouth, and his appetite is quite big.
If you create a mountain artillery regiment, then at least the brigade commander also creates a mountain artillery regiment, and the division commander creates a mountain artillery brigade.
How many mountain artillery superiors must be handed over before the new regiment becomes a mountain artillery regiment?
"12?" Zhao Gang asked, "What about 1 mountain cannon and 1 field cannon? Are they also distributed to the camp?"
Li Yunlong said: "Let's give one of those two cannons to Lao Ding and Lao Kong."
After the new regiment had the American M1A1 75mm mountain gun, the Italian field gun seemed to Li Yunlong to be a bit too high-profile.
Although the caliber is 75 mm, this Italian field gun is nearly half heavier than this American mountain gun, and its power and range are not as good as the American mountain gun. Even though it has made great achievements in the new regiment, Li Yunlong still looks down on it.
At present, the firepower of one mountain artillery battalion in the new regiment is enough. If there are more, it will increase the logistical pressure. It is better to give the extra two cannons to Lao Ding and Lao Kong.
Each of their two regiments is equipped with a 75mm gun and a 70mm infantry gun. They can guard the Japanese gun towers and strongholds, and they will soon become rich.
This is called getting rich first to drive getting rich later.
"I see no problem." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Old Li, I find that your consciousness has become much higher recently and you have begun to consider the overall situation."
"Fart." Li Yunlong said, "Look at what you said, did I not care about the overall situation before?"
"What?" Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows, "Am I still wrongly accusing you?"
After a pause, Zhao Gang added: "Not to mention this, there are still 400 militiamen who will join our new regiment in the second half of the month. This is a full battalion. How do you plan to deal with their guns?"
There are now 1,700 people in the new group. Adding the 800 new people, it will exceed 2,500 people.
In the Eighth Route Army, the New Regiment can be regarded as a strengthened regiment, because the main regiment only has about 2,000 people, the basic regiment has about 1,000 people, and the local militia group only has a few hundred people.
Moreover, Li Yunlong's regiment has fierce firepower and rich combat experience. It can be regarded as the ace main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
Unless Li Yunlong started his own side business to find a fight, his superiors would not easily use the new group. After all, good steel is used on the blade.
"Isn't this difficult to handle?" Li Yunlong said, "The leeks are already growing, we just need to prepare the sickle."
"Cut leeks?" Zhao Gang's expression changed, "Where to cut leeks?"
Li Yunlong said: "You don't think I'm really idle these days and have nothing to do, do you?"
"Let me tell you, I have sent scouts to Baijin Railway and Yuliao Highway to get information on the situation."
"The Japanese 4th Brigade and 9th Brigade have seized these two lines of communication again, and the Japanese are building additional strongholds and gun towers."
"These two brigades came here in a hurry. They don't have much food, pay and ammunition. I don't think I can hold out for a few days before I have to go back to Taiyuan and Yangquan."
"When the Japanese have rebuilt the turrets and bunkers, and our new regiment is almost rested, we can start cutting."
"And this time I will bring the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to work together."
"After we finish cutting Baijin Road and Yuliao Road, we can then cut Zhengtai Road."
"When Zhengtai Road is cut, the leeks on Baijin Road and Yuliao Road will grow again."
"When the Japanese block our lines of communication, I don't regard them as a prison. What do I regard them as? That's right, they are leeks!"
"You know what's the best thing about leeks? It's that you can't cut them all."
"We in the Eighth Route Army used to have a saying, guarding the Japs' lines of communication will make you rich. We now call it guarding the Japs' lines of communication to make a fortune."
When talking about getting rich, Li Yunlong, a local rich man, became more energetic and kept talking like a machine gun.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Gang said, "You study it first, and I'll go see if the battalion commanders are here."
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he got off the kang, put on his shoes and walked out.
Li Yunlong was not upset and called Kong Jie and Ding Wei respectively.
His words on the phone were the same. Now the new regiment has two extra cannons, an Italian field cannon with a slightly higher waist, and an American mountain cannon with excellent performance.
Whoever arrives first will get the American mountain cannon with excellent performance.
Before either of them could finish speaking, Li Yunlong heard the sound of hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong chuckled. He seemed to see Ding Wei and Kong Jie mounting their horses and rushing towards Yangcun with all their might.
The Independent Regiment was stationed slightly closer to Yangcun. Although Li Yunlong called Ding Wei first, Kong Jie arrived 5 minutes earlier than Ding Wei.
Ding Wei ran into the new regiment headquarters panting, but when he saw Kong Jie and Li Yunlong sitting together, his face suddenly fell.
"Lao Kong, you usually work slowly, why are you so active today?"
"Haha..." Kong Jie said, "Old Ding, I'm sorry, our old Kong got there first, so I just accepted the American mountain cannon."
"Sit down, Lao Ding." Li Yunlong asked Ding Wei to take a seat, then took out Laodao cigarettes and gave one to each of them.
"These are cigarettes seized from the Japanese. How do you like them?"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie took it, and Li Yunlong struck a match and lit it for them.
Kong Jie took a sip and said: "It's too weak, it's not as good as my old cigarette."
"This cigarette is not bad." Ding Wei nodded and said, "The Japanese have instituted a cage policy, which almost drove me crazy. Fortunately, the headquarters ordered a raid to seize some supplies. Otherwise, we would be new."
The second regiment is almost at a standstill."
"Yes!" Kong Jie nodded and said, "Our independent regiment is in a similar situation. We have had such difficulties in the past few months because you, Lao Li, gave each of us an infantry cannon. This time, our two regiments attacked Baijin Road.
The loss was very small and a small fortune was made.”
Li Yunlong nodded. His new regiment did not participate in the attack on Baijin Road, but judging from the situation, the troops who participated in the battle all made a small fortune, and they were able to overcome the current difficulties.
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "Making a small fortune is nothing. I, Lao Li, will help you make a big fortune."
