The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 572 The Equipment Arrives

Yamamoto was among the officers.

At this moment, his complexion is quite complicated, with all kinds of emotions mixed in it, except that he is not happy.

He knew that the general hadn't finished speaking, and this was to save face for him.

This time, while the main force of the First Army was fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain, it was not only a few reinforcements that the imperial army lost to the Independence Regiment, but also Ping'an County, and he, the captain of the First Army's special agent team.

Originally thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army cadres' internal exchange meeting in the Independent Regiment, the beheading operation was carried out.

They wiped out all the Eighth Route Army cadres in the Taihang base area.

But who would have thought that this was a trap set by the cunning Kong Jie for the secret service team from the beginning to the end.

In the end, they returned in a disastrous defeat, and the elite secret service team was ruined completely.

Even Yamamoto, the captain of the secret service team, almost fell into Kong Jie's hands.

Yamamoto originally wanted to carry forward the emerging military field of special operations, and let the Japanese army recognize the necessity and practicality of special operations.

The ambitious Yamamoto even wanted to use this to reform the army's old military tactics.

But all the way to Kong Jie's defeat to the current situation.

How could Yamamoto have the face to promote his special operations to army officers?
Without a solid record, his special operations were not convincing at all to the Japanese officers who were so rigid that they even looked down on special operations and thought it was just a small fight.

After the meeting, Yoshio Shinozuka left Kazuki Yamamoto alone.

Yamamoto bowed to Shinozuka Yoshio in thanks.

"General, thank you for your defense at the meeting just now. Yamamoto is ashamed. If it wasn't for being unwilling to be insulted, Yamamoto would have wanted to commit suicide by caesarean section to thank the emperor!"

Shinozuka Yoshio spread his hands and said in relief: "Yamamoto-kun, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You have to be able to afford it and let it go, in order to truly become an excellent special warfare commander on your own."

"This time you led the special agent team to fight against the guerrillas of the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain, and won many victories at the lowest cost. This all proves that the special agent team itself is an extremely elite combat force."

"But this is not a suitable battlefield for your special agent team. You should lead the special agent team back to Taiyuan City with the main force earlier, and continue to step up the training of the special agent team!"

"General!"

Yamamoto said unwillingly: "The special agent team missed a week ago because they encountered a different guerrilla unit of the Eighth Route Army. According to our investigation, this unit is likely to be the one sent by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to fight guerrilla warfare in the Zhongtiao mountain area. Mountain combat troops."

"How can I be reconciled if I don't completely eradicate this Eighth Route Army guerrilla?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Yamamoto-kun, do you still remember you back then?"

This sudden inquiry was shallow and profound.

In a daze, Yamamoto seemed to see himself who was vigorous, courageous, ambitious, and even arrogant to the point of arrogance a year ago.

At this moment, Yamamoto, whose edges and corners have been smoothed by Kong Jie, looked at himself a year ago, and felt a little ridiculous.

But once upon a time, he even lost his lofty ambitions, calmness and belief in victory?
Seeing that Yamamoto seemed to be in a daze, Shinozuka Yoshio at the side continued:
"Returning from the Special Forces Academy in Berlin, Germany, no matter when, he has the belief that the imperial soldiers will win, and even expressed his great ambition to revolutionize the warfare of the imperial army. This is the Yamamoto-kun I knew at the beginning!"

"Yamamoto-kun, have you forgotten all your ideals?"

"Report to the general, I dare not forget for a day!" Yamamoto replied.

Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice: "Then let go of the temporary defeat and hatred in front of you, and do what you should do."

"Continuing a stalemate with the Eighth Route Army, which is good at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, in this mountainous area. That is not your secret service team, and it is not your style of special operations. What you should do now is to make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and bring your secret service team back to the barracks of the First Army. "

"What I want you to do is to be the seed of the empire, as you said at the beginning, to use special operations to deal with the guerrilla warfare of the Chinese army."

"Then what you should do is to let these seeds grow, and even grow into towering trees."

"Go back, take the last elite of your secret service team, and use your valuable experience to train more special operations troops for the imperial army, so as to completely eliminate the guerrilla forces of the entire Eighth Route Army."

"That's a total victory!"

This scheming Yoshio Shinozuka saw the problem right to the point.

He almost told Yamamoto directly that I was going to be the seed of hope for the special forces of the special forces.

Continue to let you toss around like this, from the beginning of the beheading operation to the failure, to the fact that you have a hard fight with some mountain guerrillas.

That would be all wasted.

You Yamamoto, let’s go back honestly and give full play to the last light and heat, and train more special operations troops for the imperial army!

"As for dealing with the Eighth Route Army and eliminating this difficult independent regiment, I have my own follow-up plan."

Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order, and Yamamoto didn't dare to say anything after losing the battle, so he immediately responded, "Hi!"

……

Somewhere in the mountainous area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain.

The support sent by Kong Jie to Han Feng's mountain company arrived smoothly.

There is the batch of American equipment obtained from John, as well as some explosives and ammunition provided by the military supply department in the regiment, plus some applicable medicines and supplies.

In addition, there are military backbones sent by each battalion (mainly some squads and platoon leaders), and some soldiers who have been newly recruited.

Han Feng, on the other hand, handed over the wounded who had appeared in the team since the mountain company fought these days, and escorted them back to Rootland to recuperate.

It wasn't until the handover between the two sides that Han Feng entrusted the wounded soldiers who were unwilling to leave Zhongtiao Mountain to recuperate after returning to the base area, and the transport team led the wounded away, the soldiers of the mountain company couldn't help cheering.

This batch of equipment arrived just in time.

The soldiers of the transportation team in the regiment were still there before, and they couldn't lose face for nothing, so everyone forced themselves to be tense.

"Hey, company commander, is this the American equipment we've seen in military manuals?"

"This is an Enfield rifle. I recognize this thing. It's a good gun. You can feel the difference as soon as you get started. It's much better than the Devil's [-] Gail!"

The platoon leaders and squad leaders hugged this, touched that, and wondered in their mouths.

Not far away, squad leader Nine shouted again:
"Company commander, come and see what kind of gun this is? It is much lighter than our 82mm mortar, and the caliber seems to be smaller, but it feels completely different from our modified [-] small gun. "

Han Feng looked at the reputation, and said with a look of surprise:

"The American M2 60mm mortar, this kind of gun hits far, has high precision, is powerful, and is light in weight. It is much easier to use than our 82mm mortar."

"I really didn't expect that the group leader said that he would support us with a batch of equipment, and it turned out to be these American equipment!"

When everyone was amazed, Company Commander Zhang of the New First Regiment and Company Commander Du of the New Second Regiment came from the mountain road not far away.

The two also came to deliver the wounded soldiers. This time, the wounded soldiers from the three companies went back with the transport team, but after the wounded soldiers returned, they would be sent back to the New First Regiment, New Second Regiment and Independent Regiment.

The voice came down from a long distance:
"Old Han, I heard that Commander Kong not only transported the wounded soldiers back this time, but also supported your company with a batch of equipment. What kind of good thing is it? I see that all of you soldiers are happy as if they are celebrating the New Year."

Han Feng greeted him with big strides, and said with a hearty smile:
"Nothing good, just some brand-new American equipment from my mother's family. There are two heavy machine guns, two hundred Enfield rifles, fifty or sixty Jin-made submachine guns, plus Browning light machine guns, spring sniper guns, etc. Rifles and a couple of M2 60mm mortars, five or six boxes of shells and bullets..."

As Han Feng pretended to be casually narrating...

"My God, Old Han, didn't Commander Kong take down the devil's Taiyuan City arsenal?"

"You tell me this is nothing good?"

Zhang Lianchang and Du Lianchang's jaws almost dropped to the ground when they heard this, they could tell that Lao Han was showing off in disguise!
Then, the two company commanders approached Han Feng smilingly.

"Old Han~"

With two choruses, Han Feng felt goosebumps all over the floor, and hurriedly said, "Don't tell me, I said Lao Zhang Lao Du, can you stop calling me so nasty?"

"When we were fighting in the regiment, we were tied to the whole regiment. There was no logistics or support. Those who were capable ate meat, and those who were incompetent couldn't even drink soup."

"But it's different now. Our three mountain companies are fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain, and each regiment is their own mother's family. I have my mother's family to send equipment here, and you also have your mother's family. Don't worry about my little equipment, right? "

"Want it? Ask Captain Li and Captain Ding to apply!"

Company Commander Zhang: "..."

Commander Du: "..."

Zhang Min clapped his hands helplessly, "Okay, if the three of us are better than your natal family, which one is better than your old Han?"

Du Zhongcheng smiled and said: "That's right, Lao Han, let's talk about the business, let's discuss how to fight the next battle!"

"Right now, this little devil doesn't know why he's going crazy. He's been sweeping back and forth endlessly for the past few days."

"It's not a problem for us to keep running around in the mountains like this. The supplies and so on will be exhausted sooner or later. We can't talk to our mother's family all the time, right? Then this old face will be embarrassing."

Han Feng said: "The soldiers I sent out to reconnaissance around the county found that many Japanese troops scattered around the county were shrinking their forces. It seemed that they were preparing to withdraw from the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The sudden increase in raids is probably because they are approaching. Before the evacuation, the last large-scale encirclement and suppression of us."

Zhang Mindao: "It's very possible, Lao Han, this is a good thing! With the main force of the Japanese army returning to aid Taiyuan City, the pressure on our guerrilla warfare will be much less."

Han Feng shook his head, and said firmly, "Lao Zhang, Lao Du, are you thinking of putting the little devil back like this?"

"We have so many troops in the three regiments of the Audio-Technica. This time, the regiment leader sent our three companies here. This is the greatest trust and recognition for our three companies."

"In the end, we just had a little trouble in Zhongtiao Mountain, and we were chased by the devils to run around in the mountains. We were aggrieved, and then we just watched the devils go back?"

"I don't care what you think, anyway, I can't swallow this breath."

Zhang Min hurriedly said: "Your old Han has always had the most evil ideas, tell me quickly, do you have any ideas?"

Du Zhongcheng also looked over.

Neither of these two company commanders was a vegetarian, and no one wanted to just watch the devils evacuate like this.

Han Feng thought for a moment, then replied: "Now the devils are intensifying their efforts to carry out the final sweep before evacuating, most of the devils think that we will be obedient cats in the deep mountains and old forests.

They never imagined that we would be bold enough to take the initiative to attack. This is a good opportunity for us to fight back. "

"The devil wants to evacuate under our noses, how can it be so easy?"

"The longer we can hold back the devil's main force, the better the situation will be for the main force of our regiment."

"Although the number of our three mountain companies is small, we can't let the little devils look down upon us!"

"In this way, each of our three companies will send out a combat team of experienced veterans. The number does not need to be too large. Each team has 20 people. Give him a flower."

"It just so happened that this time the group leader sent over a lot of long-range detonating explosives, and even a time bomb. This is an excellent weapon for us to infiltrate the devil's county and carry out internal sabotage."

"In addition, the guerrillas of the national army that remained in the Zhongtiao mountain area have been wiped out by the devils during this period, and their morale is low. Let's take this opportunity to fight like this, and it can also boost the morale of the army."

"If it doesn't work, we can still use the banner of the guerrillas of the national army! Let's do practical things and give the credit to the national army. The disastrous defeat in the Zhongtiaoshan battle caused the national army to suffer a great humiliation. Now we can restore our reputation and regain our reputation. If there is an opportunity in the bureau, the national army will definitely admit it with a pinch of their noses."

"Reporter Shen can also help with publicity, telling the folks in the occupied areas that the national army will come back soon."

"In this way, the national army is oppressed by public opinion, even if they don't have the guts to take back Zhongtiao Mountain, they have to put on a show, right?"

"In this way, we have benefited, and the national army has taken the blame, and it can encourage those guerrillas of the national army to continue fighting the Japanese army. Isn't it a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone?"

When Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng heard this, it was a good idea!

Zhang Minle said: "As expected of you, Old Han, you really are full of bad water!"

The three hit it off.

Han Feng glanced at the direction of the independent regiment's base, and complained in his heart:
Old Zhang, old Zhang, then you have wronged me too much. I learned this from our regiment leader. I haven’t seen that every time our regiment leader does bad things, isn’t it all the fault of your regiment leader Li?

...... choo choo --

"Damn it, who is scolding me behind my back?"

At the New Second Regiment's station, the big-headed Li Yunlong sneezed several times, rubbed his nose and cursed...
