Chapter 88
Somewhere.
Four military trucks were driving slowly.
The road was rugged.
Winding forward.
Compared to the wide highways they usually took, the entire convoy chose such a remote and steep road.
"Takeshita-kun!"
Suddenly, the voice of Yamamoto Ikki came from the truck in the middle: "I wonder what you think of our operation this time?"
Sitting opposite was Takeshita Shun.
His back was straight.
His expression was solemn.
It had been nearly four hours since he set out, but he had always maintained this posture.
To be honest.
Yamamoto Ikki admired this and was also slightly relieved.
No wonder this man could achieve such amazing results at such a young age!
Takeshita Shun nodded slightly, and said slowly with a respectful face: "Mr. Yamamoto, according to intelligence, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, our target of this operation, is extremely powerful. Not only is it a reinforced regiment with nearly 5,000 people, but it has also achieved extremely fierce results against our imperial army before, and even the Sakata Regiment was buried in the hands of the enemy! To be honest, it is not easy to deal with such a force!"
"Don't you have confidence, Takeshita?"
Yamamoto Ikki raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party with cold eyes.
"No!"
Takeshita Shun fearlessly met the scrutiny, still without changing his face: "The enemy's strength is extremely rare in our Chinese army. We must remain vigilant against such a force! But no matter how strong the enemy is, what does it matter? This time we are making a secret raid. As long as the action is proper, we will be able to destroy it in one fell swoop!"
As soon as these words came out,
Yamamoto Ikki couldn't help but look excited, and praised: "Takeshita-kun is indeed worthy of being the new force of our army! Facing a reinforced regiment of 5,000 people, he can still be so confident, which is really amazing!"
Takeshita Shun said confidently and calmly: "I just understand the strength of special operations."
"Good! Well said!"
Yamamoto Ikki's eyes burst into a gleam of light, he clenched his fists, and said seriously: "In the eyes of those generals in the Army Headquarters, our special operations have always been regarded as trivial skills, and have never received any attention. Today is the first show of our two special operations teams in Shanxi Province, and we must let the entire General Staff know how powerful special operations are!"
"Hai!"
Takeshita Shun nodded and accepted the order.
Yamamoto Ikki suddenly looked at the other party again and said in a deep voice: "But-"
"Mr. Yamamoto is worried about the other party's special forces?"
"That's right!"
Yamamoto Ikki nodded and said solemnly: "We have inspected many strongholds distributed in various places in our empire before. It is absolutely not possible for ordinary combat troops to destroy those strongholds in a short time. From all indications, it is definitely our special combat method. I just didn't expect that the 358th Regiment also knows special operations!"
This really confused him.
You must know that in the current mainstream combat methods in the world.
Special operations are still extremely niche and unimportant. This combat method has extremely high requirements for personnel quality and equipment supply. It is often only the strong side that can play it. China now cannot even meet the front battlefield with ordinary weapons, let alone such a combat method?
"This is not surprising."
Takeshita Shun pondered for a moment.
"Huh?"
Yamamoto Ikki raised his eyebrows.
Takeshita Shun's eyes suddenly flickered and he said: "China also sent many elite army soldiers to study in D country in the early years. When I was studying special operations, there were classmates from China."
"You mean-"
"There may be elites who also studied in D country in the 358th Regiment."
"It is very likely."
Yamamoto Ikki thought about it and felt that this statement made sense.
"Just-"
"Just?"
"Their weapons and equipment do not seem to be simple."
Takeshita Shun recalled the post-war scenes he had seen in various bases before. He slowly said: "Yamamoto-kun should understand that special operations must have extremely sophisticated weapons and equipment to exert their full strength. Even if the other party also understands special operations, it is difficult to achieve the previous level without powerful equipment."
"That's right!"
Yamamoto Ikki's expression changed slightly.
This is indeed a confusing place.
People are easy to train.
Equipment is not easy to get!
"Report!"
Just then.
Suddenly, a soldier holding a map said solemnly: "Mr. Yamamoto! According to the map, we will enter the enemy-occupied area in another twenty miles!"
"Yoshi!"
Yamamoto Ikki, who was still thinking, did not think about it anymore. He glanced at the deserted wasteland outside and said seriously: "It seems that we have to walk. Pass my order!From now on, all of you should shut down your wireless communications and abandon your vehicles and move forward."
"Hay!"
Everyone immediately obeyed the order.
...
Night.
It was dark.
The sky was still terrible at the end of the cold winter.
Yaojia Village.
The temporary station of the 358th Regiment.
The command center was already flickering with dim lights, and Chu Yunfei, who had already entered the middle of the night, still hadn't fallen asleep.
He couldn't sleep!
In fact.
He had been in this state for many days in a row recently. Whenever he lay in bed, he would think of the many strange things that had happened before.
Gejia Town raided the enemy's station.
A month ago, a certain unit swept through dozens of enemy strongholds in the surrounding area.
A mysterious armed force wearing the uniforms of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army wiped out the Sakata Brigade in Cangyunling.
Everything.
Every result.
This was enough to make him completely incomprehensible.
"Commander! "
Fang Ligong naturally understood the other party's thoughts, and frowned and said: "The old commander has always believed that it was my 358th Regiment that did it before. It seems that this unit is indeed not from our Jinsui Army!"
"Yes."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right! As far as I know, there is no such a strong team at the headquarters!"
Yes.
Although the headquarters also has several elite troops, their weapons and equipment are not comparable to ordinary troops.
But he saw the explosive power of that unit with his own eyes.
This is definitely not something that can be achieved with equipment alone.
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong looked strange and frowned: "But he just wore the uniform of the Jinsui Army. This is really too strange."
"Not strange at all. "
"What the commander meant is--"
Chu Yunfei scanned the map and gritted his teeth and said, "From the current signs, the range of activities of this mysterious force is probably within two or three hundred miles of Laiyang County. They are wearing the uniforms of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, and their only purpose is to divert the hatred of the devils. This can be fully proved by the fact that we were chased by Sakata!"
Gejia Town was attacked earlier.
Who would have thought that he would be attacked by the Sakata Brigade.
This matter was extremely strange at the time, but there was too little information at that time and he couldn't judge anything.
Now I think that someone must have impersonated their 358th Regiment.
This attracted the devil's crazy counterattack and revenge!
"That's right!"
After hearing this, Fang Ligong suddenly realized and said, "Gejia Town is the frontier material storage base of the Sakata Brigade. If it weren't for being identified as our doing, the other party wouldn't have chased us so viciously. "
"Humph! "
Chu Yunfei was full of anger.
Thinking of this, Fang Ligong gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed a cause for celebration that we can severely damage the devils in this difficult situation, but - all the blame is actually borne by my 358th Regiment, and we have been retaliated by the devils for no reason. If we hadn't retreated quickly, I'm afraid the entire 358th Regiment would have been severely damaged. This is really abominable!"
"It's really abominable!"
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong thought for a while and said, "The strongest here should be the Eighth Route Army. Do you think it's them?"
"It shouldn't be!"
Chu Yunfei thought for a while and shook his head quickly.
Seeing that the other party looked a little confused, he slowly said, "Although the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are a bit backward, they have never done such a thing in the fight against the devils in recent years. Moreover, if they could have such strength, they would have publicized it a lot. It is impossible for them to deliberately transfer it to us for a little hatred!"
"That's right! "
Fang Ligong nodded and said, "This is indeed not the style of the Eighth Route Army."
Chu Yunfei looked at the map again and said seriously, "Since there is such strength in this area, but they need to divert the hatred of the devils, this shows that this unit itself does not have as strong friendly forces as the Eighth Route Army and our Shanxi Suiyuan Army. To a large extent, it should be fighting alone. If it is not the Eighth Route Army, who else could it be?"
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong frowned and asked in confusion, "There are still nearly a hundred large and small anti-Japanese forces near Laiyang County. Could it be those local armed forces?"
Local armed forces?
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly.
In his heart, he did not think this was possible.
After all, the opponent's combat effectiveness is indeed terrifyingly strong, and even his 358th Regiment may not be able to match it.
The dignified Shanxi Suiyuan Army is not as good as the local armed forces!
This makes him feel extremely humiliated!
"That's right!"
Fang Ligong suddenly thought of something and said, "Commander! Since they are not from our Jinsui Army, where did they get the uniforms from? "
"No!"
Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "If you talk about uniforms, have you forgotten that the supplies at the headquarters were taken away before?"
"You mean——"
"That's right!"
Chu Yunfei nodded and said seriously: "The emergency supplies from the headquarters were robbed west of Laiyang County, and it is said that there were a lot of uniforms of our Shanxi Suiyuan Army in that batch of supplies! If it was this unit that robbed the supplies, then everything would make sense."
"Yes!"
Fang Ligong suddenly realized, but then he said angrily: "Damn it! Our 358th Regiment is the strongest near Laiyang County. This unit has been in action, and we must be the one to take the blame every time! If not for this, our regiment would not have been chased by the old devil Sakata, and we would not have lost so many brothers!"
"Forget it!"
Chu Yunfei sighed, and finally waved his hand and said: "After all, the other party is fighting the devils, and the previous losses are also due to our lack of strength!"
Fang Ligong said in a deep voice: "Commander! But the devils will definitely pay special attention to our 358th Regiment next time."
"It doesn't matter! "
Chu Yunfei said confidently: "My 358th Regiment is not a soft persimmon! Humph, if those little devils really dare to come, I will definitely make them come and never return!"
Da Da Da!
Da Da Da!
Just then, there was a burst of fierce gunfire outside.
Machine gun?
Where did the machine gun sound come from in the middle of the night?
"Report!"
Just as the two were in doubt.
Soon, a soldier came running in and shouted loudly: "Commander! The devils have invaded in front, and my front-line posts have suffered heavy losses!"
"Assholes!"
Chu Yunfei's body trembled violently, and his cheeks seemed to be slapped hard. He gritted his teeth and said: "That damn army! They put the blame on me again!"
