My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 69 Two Gangs!

"How's it going?"

Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto who had just walked in.

Because it had nothing to do with him, Shinozuka Yoshio did not go to Xiaoyao Village in person, but sent Yamamoto to investigate the situation.

"Just like last time."

Kazuki Yamamoto said solemnly: "The people who attacked the military column mastered the timetable of the military column and planned the attack. Although they were wearing eight-way uniforms, their weapons were very sophisticated. They were even equipped with individual flamethrowers. In the same way, the patrol was deceived by bombs disguised as sleepers, and after blowing up the column, the attack was launched from the flank."

"but··"

Yamamoto paused:
"This time, the attackers used more bombs, estimated to have an equivalent of three tons, and the attack method was more precise. All the bombs were concentrated in the range of the three carriages that General Mine Shita was riding in."

As a professional special tactics expert, Yamamoto's blasting skills are also full, and it is easy to estimate the explosive equivalent.

Yamamoto originally wanted to say, there is a shadow of special operations, and the tactical planning is very strict, but he thought about it and still didn't say it.

"It seems that the enemy's infiltration of our locust army is very serious." Yoshio Shinozuka sighed, but glanced at Yamamoto slightly.

Although he didn't participate in it personally, but this time, Shinozuka Yoshio saw how strict the secrecy measures of General Inoka's military column were. question.

As for Kazuki Yamamoto's possible involvement in this matter, he will at most provide some opportunities to take advantage of, and will not take the initiative to provide information. Tono-kun and Yamamoto are competitors, and he will not be allowed to get information-but this is only his guess.

"I was just about to tell you about it."

Yamamoto's tone became more and more dignified: "The enemy was able to obtain the timetable of the military ranks of the important generals of the empire twice in a row, and launched attacks between intensive patrols, which shows that they have penetrated very deeply into our locust army, or the position is very high, Or, the range is huge."

"We must find out about this matter, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"I will explain it to General Tada Toshi in person."

Shinozuka Yoshio also looked solemn.

"Speaking of individual flamethrowers..." Shinozuka Yoshio thought of the new information that had just been sent to his headquarters: "Also yesterday, the Yangpo stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the stronghold was breached, and more than 800 fruit-preserved prisoners were captured. They were rescued, and more than 100 tons of food were also taken away. During the attack, Balu used individual flamethrowers."

"Attack the stronghold?!" Yamamoto was stunned for a moment: "Strong attack? Has it been breached?"

Because the secret service team had an accident in the training of prisoners of war here, and several members died, Yamamoto was very impressed with the Yangpo stronghold.

This is a standard locust army stronghold, which has been strengthened by relying on the masonry buildings left over from before. Barbed wire fences and firepower points based on bunker machine gun towers have been set up, and there is also a full-staffed brigade stationed.

Even with individual flamethrowers, it is impossible to attack.

Even if the Eighth Route Army dispatched a large force to besiege, the surrounding Imperial Army garrisons would definitely support them. Unless they could fight the locust army in the field, it would be impossible to win.Unless they have a large number of infantry artillery shells, they can quickly destroy the firepower of the Yangpo stronghold.

"According to the report of the soldiers who escaped." Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Before the Eight Routes attacked the stronghold, Major Nohara Shin, who was stationed at the Yangpo stronghold, went out with two squadrons and an artillery squad to wipe out the enemy guerrillas. The stronghold was empty. .”

"Moreover, the enemy sneaked into the stronghold in advance, captured the gate, and destroyed the strongholds and forts around the gate."

"I see." Yamamoto couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "The biggest problem with the imperial garrison is that arrogance weakens vigilance and gives the enemy an opportunity."

Don't you too? Glancing at Yamamoto, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Moreover, the main force of the battalion who went out to suppress the enemy was also ambushed. Including the captain Shin Nohara, the main force of the Nohara brigade was all broken."

"Nani?!" Yamamoto was surprised again.

Two squadrons, one artillery squad, plus the brigade headquarters, there are almost 350 people. Can the Eighth Route Army wipe out such a powerful locust army?

"Stupid and conceited." Yamamoto cursed.

The locust army of 350 people can be completely wiped out, and the collective jade is broken. It must be the commander's arrogance and arrogance. He led the troops into the canyon and other terrains, and was surrounded and divided by the Eighth Route Army.

"According to the on-site investigation." Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at Kazuki Yamamoto: "The Nohara Brigade was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on a flat terrain, and judging from the traces on the scene, the Nohara Brigade encountered nearly ten mortars. The continuous intensive firepower suppression, also found traces of a large number of imported German-made hand grenades."

"Nani?" Yamamoto said Nani again: "Continued intensive fire suppression?!"

What is the biggest problem for the Eighth Route Army?
The weapons are too poor, not to mention artillery, even rifles are seriously scarce, and the quality is extremely poor. Grandpa’s goods from the last century are available. Self-made grenades are simply a joke.It is due to the scarcity of firepower, with less than five bullets per capita.

This is also the core of the imperial army's ability to steadily control the prosperous areas of North China.

Now he actually heard that the Eighth Route Army suppressed the imperial army with intensive firepower, even including dozens of mortars.

If the Eighth Route Army he met in Yangcun had such firepower, no, even if the Eighth Route Army regiment had more machine guns and a little more bullets, he would have been in big trouble.

If Eighth Road obtains sufficient weapons and ammunition, even light weapons and ammunition, it will be an extremely serious threat to the imperial army in North China.This means that the frequency and intensity of harassment launched by the enemy will increase several times, and it also means that the pressure on the imperial army will increase several times.

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded: "The battle at the Yangpo stronghold was the same. Not only flamethrowers, the Eighth Route Army also showed intensive firepower. The team's firepower was stronger than that of the locust army, but not weaker."

"The same group that attacked the military column?" Yamamoto speculated.

"No." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "The one who ambushed the Nohara brigade and attacked the Yangpo stronghold was the independent regiment of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander was Li Yunlong, the same person who killed Dazuo Sakata in Cangyunling. "

"So." Yamamoto frowned, "Is it really the Eighth Route Army who attacked the military column?"

A flamethrower also appeared, indicating a connection between the two.But Yamamoto couldn't believe it, Tuhaha was able to accurately ambush the imperial army?

"No." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "According to the information we got from the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army itself doesn't know who ambushed the column, and it shouldn't be them."

"Besides, it is not difficult to obtain such weapons and equipment as machine guns, grenades and mortars, but the Eighth Route Army does not have the strength to obtain the timetable of the important military columns of the Imperial Army, otherwise they would not have been encircled and suppressed by us many times."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead, and said his speculation: "There must be someone else who attacked the military column, pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, in order to confuse us and interfere with our investigation."

Yamamoto frowned deeply.

In other words, in the North China region, not only did a small group of enemies appear who had internal support in the Imperial Locust Army and could obtain accurate information about the Locust Army, but the guerrillas also had new channels to obtain weapons.

Two groups of enemies.

"The only good news is."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to rub his forehead: "Currently, flamethrowers and sufficient team firepower only appear in Li Yunlong and his independent regiment, and I have ordered the intelligence department to investigate the source of the weapons.
