The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 248 Commander: Let the Yamamoto Special Team Come (Second)
Before Yoshio Shinozuka opened his mouth, the person in charge of intelligence shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I feel that the number of troops is too small!"

"The intelligence personnel also found two armored vehicles among the Eighth Route Army's transport convoy, and five troop carriers full of soldiers. The total strength should exceed one company!"

"We have very few troops left behind at the various strongholds along the highway, and almost no heavy weapons are equipped. We will certainly not be able to stop the Eighth Route Army's transport convoy."

"Where are the two infantry brigades returning to Jinniu Mountain? Can you contact them and ask them to intercept the Eighth Route Army transport convoy... Maybe they will collide with each other halfway and have an encounter!" The staff officer suddenly proposed.

The chief of staff who understood the situation immediately shook his head: "They are already in danger, and it is impossible to intercept the convoy!"

"After receiving the reinforcement order, the two brigades broke through four or five defense lines of the Eighth Route Army in succession, and rushed to Jinniu Mountain at all costs."

"Although I drove dozens of kilometers in half a night, I paid a huge price."

"The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the loophole that they didn't care about sneak attacks and marched all the way in a hurry, and arranged a large number of sneak attack troops along the way, even using heavy machine guns, constantly consuming our vitality!"

"When I contacted them half an hour ago, the two brigades had already lost [-]% of their strength. The Eighth Route Army's sneak attack has not only not weakened, but has become stronger and stronger!"

"This shows that the Eighth Route Army is still mobilizing troops from other places to intercept the two brigades and prevent them from returning to Jinniu Mountain!"

"In the face of more and more Eighth Route Army besieging troops, they are already overwhelmed..."

"The humble job is about to ask for instructions, can you let them not leave, find favorable terrain on the spot and wait for reinforcements, and wait for the air force to arrive at the battlefield at dawn before slowly retreating!"

"Otherwise we are very likely to lose two more infantry brigades!"

Shinozuka Yoshio immediately ordered: "Since they can't block the convoy, they should save their own strength first!"

"Our losses in this sweep are too great, and we can reduce the number of casualties as many soldiers as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Since we can't intercept the Eighth Route Army's transport convoy, then we should use another method to destroy those military equipment and prevent the Eighth Route Army from building arsenals!"

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the person in charge of intelligence, and praised with satisfaction: "Your performance during this time has been very good, I am very satisfied, and the promise I made to you before must be fulfilled!"

"Now there is another task for you to complete!"

"Immediately arrange special agents to keep an eye on this batch of military equipment, follow the clues, and find the location of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal!"

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army already has a small arsenal that can reload bullets, mass-produce hand grenades, and repair firearms!"

"The Eighth Route Army wants the newly established arsenal to go into production quickly. The best way is to supplement the original arsenal with equipment!"

"If we follow the vine and find their military production base."

"Whether it's sending troops to raid or sending out planes to bomb, they can destroy the military industry of the Eighth Route Army in one battle, making them unable to reload their bullets!"

The person in charge of intelligence looked happy, and said happily: "Please rest assured, Commander!"

"The base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army has just undergone a big raid, and it's in chaos. It's a good time for intelligence personnel to show their talents!"

"As long as the military department gives us enough financial support, I'm [-]% sure that our intelligence personnel will spread throughout the Eighth Route Army bases!"

"Not only can we keep an eye on the military equipment, follow the clues to find the Eighth Route Army arsenal, but also find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army units, and cooperate with the aviation air strike headquarters to make them leaderless and plunge into chaos!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was really satisfied with the intelligence department's performance these days, and immediately ordered: "From now on, the intelligence department's activity funds will increase by [-]% on the original basis!"

"I'll find a way to get you [-] radio stations to facilitate communication..."

"Report the news to the military immediately!"

"If the intelligence we receive is more timely and accurate than that of the Eighth Route Army, we will be able to seize the opportunity on the battlefield and strike first..."

As soon as the intelligence chief left the war room with a satisfied smile, Shinozuka Yoshio's brows that stretched out wrinkled again.

"In addition to military equipment, we also need to find a way to kill the Eighth Route Army that took Jinniu Mountain!"

"The defeat of this sweep was at the hands of these three regiments. The Taiyuan arsenal was also snatched by these Eighth Route Army. The Shanxi garrison wanted to wash away their shame, so they must kill them!"

"The last telegram sent to us by Colonel Sakamoto said that the Eighth Route Army lost [-] people in the two lines of defense before capturing Jinniu Mountain..."

"I don't know how they broke through the third line of defense, but it can be seen from the last telegram sent to us by Colonel Sakamoto that he was very confident in stopping the Eighth Route Army."

"This proves that it is not easy for the Eighth Route Army to capture the third line of defense, and it must pay a huge price!"

"Combined with our analysis of the strength of the Eighth Route Army!"

"After the battle of Jinniu Mountain, their total strength may have dropped to a thousand."

"On average, there are only three or four hundred people in each regiment."

"If you don't seize this opportunity to kill them, the Eighth Route Army will definitely grow stronger like a snowball, and it will be difficult to eliminate them in the future!"

What Shinozuka Yoshio said was filled with righteous indignation, and instantly aroused the fighting spirit of all his subordinates.

But it is too difficult to do this.

The Shanxi garrison company had to take the road, and only a few transport convoys protected by the Eighth Route Army could not block it, let alone the [-]th Route Army, which was able to break through everywhere, was not restricted by terrain, and had a stronger combat effectiveness.

The chief of staff thought about it for a while before biting the bullet and replied: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is indeed a serious problem for the Shanxi Garrison. Only by killing them can the shame be washed away!"

"But there are no soldiers around us."

"And when they break through the Jinniu Mountain blockade, they don't have to protect the convoy anymore. They can move freely and can disperse and break through at any time, disappearing from our sight!"

"The humble official dares to say that the current Shanxi garrison has no conditions to continue to surround them and destroy them..."

"It will take two months at the fastest, and we will be able to mobilize a sufficient number of troops to kill them after we have recovered and replenished part of the loss!"

Shinozuka Yoshio did not get angry because of the chief of staff's objection, and replied calmly: "I understand what you said!"

"I didn't say we were going to destroy them right away!"

"The three regiments lost their troops at Jinniu Mountain. Based on my understanding of the Eighth Route Army, it will take half a year to train the troops and restore their combat effectiveness!"

"My idea is to act in three months!"

"The three regiments at that time must have recruited a lot of untrained recruits."

"We are all people who have led soldiers. We should know that a team composed of three or four hundred veterans is very powerful. They can attack and defend, and they can display strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield!"

"If we add [-] new recruits to them, the combat effectiveness of this unit will not increase due to the increase in strength, but will become weaker and weaker."

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I understand..."

"The current three regiments are all battle-tested veterans. Not only are they very powerful, but they are also as cunning as loaches. It is very difficult for us to kill them, or even catch them."

"When they return to the base area and recruit thousands of recruits to supplement the troops, these veterans will be dragged down by the recruits, resulting in a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the troops."

"We launched an attack suddenly, and those new recruits who have not yet formed a battle will definitely be in chaos, further affecting the combat effectiveness of the veterans!"

"The three regiments at that time were really the weakest!"

Yoshio Shinozuka said approvingly, "There is another purpose for them to attack after recruiting enough recruits!"

"After the three or four hundred veterans were attacked by us, they fought as they wanted, and retreated as they wanted. They are more slippery than loaches. The possibility of us catching them is very low!"

"When they are full of recruits, the three regiments will not be able to transfer quickly under the drag of thousands of recruits!"

"On the contrary, with the help of these recruits, we can quickly catch three regiments, gather and wipe them out!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Where is the Yamamoto special team? I haven't heard from them for a long time!"

The chief of staff thought for a while before answering: "They went to the frontal battlefield to deal with the Jinsui army!"

"Without the preferential treatment from the military, the Yamamoto Secret Service can only select members from among the recruits, and the quality and combat effectiveness of the supplementary members are not as good as before!"

"In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the secret service team as soon as possible, Mr. Yamamoto decided to bring the secret service team to the frontal battlefield for actual combat training!"

"The effect is very good. In less than two months, we cooperated with the main force to destroy five battalions, three regiments, and one division of the Jinsui Army!"

"It was also with the cooperation of the Yamamoto Special Forces that we were able to mobilize a large number of troops from the frontal battlefield to wipe out the Eighth Route Army's base areas!"

"So, Yamamoto-kun's special operations still play a big role on the battlefield?" Shinozuka Yoshio wholeheartedly agreed with Yamamoto Osaku's special operations, thinking that this method of warfare is promising.

As a result, the Yamamoto Secret Service was too weak. Several operations against the Eighth Route Army ended in failure, and a large number of secret agents were lost.

Faced with tremendous pressure from his superiors and subordinates, Shinozuka Yoshio had to temporarily abandon the Yamamoto Special Team.

Unexpectedly, they achieved considerable results in the frontal battlefield.

In this way, I have reasons to continue to support the Yamamoto special team and let them play a greater role on the battlefield.

The chief of staff saw Yoshio Shinozuka's inner thoughts at a glance, and he affirmed without hesitation: "There must be a role!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the Yamamoto Special Forces had too many recruits and their combat effectiveness was too poor, they would have almost raided a military headquarters of the Jinsui Army!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, in view of the excellent performance of the Yamamoto Special Forces during this period of time, I implore the military department to allow the Yamamoto Special Forces to select supplementary members for the main force on the front line!"

"During this period of cooperative operations, many frontline commanders began to recognize Yamamoto's special tactics, and they must agree to Yamamoto's selection of supplementary players from them!"
