While Li Yunlong and the soldiers were resting in Yaojiayu, there was the brigade command room in Wuyin County.
Major Akai was giving a report to the person sitting opposite him in a serious manner.
"Your Majesty Colonel, this is the basic situation. If you have any other needs, please let me know!"
Yamamoto Kazuki took a steady look at Major Akai, and he knew clearly that he was only hindering General Shinozuka's orders, otherwise they would not obey his orders given their dislike of his special agent team.
However, Yamamoto Kazuki would not embarrass Major Akai. When he came, he had already inspected the battlefields of Yong'an Stronghold and Liuwangmiao Prisoner of War Camp in advance.
He has made an accurate judgment. This is an elite small force that uses its own firepower advantage and rapid penetration to complete the surprise attack on important targets.
This is similar to the way his own special agent team fights, which makes Yamamoto Kazuki have a strong interest in the commander of this force.
Yamamoto Kazuki stood up and said, "Please ask Major Akai to investigate the situation of this unit and report it directly to the First Army Headquarters!"
Major Akai was on business, "Hi, Colonel!"
Yamamoto Kazuki was about to leave, but when he was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly held down the command knife and looked back at Major Akai, "By the way, you'd better report it to your commander, and be sure to be vigilant about this unit."
"If you encounter them, don't divide your troops at will and act rashly, otherwise it will be very easy for the commander of this unit to find a flaw and raid your vital points!"
But Major Akai didn’t take it seriously, “I will report the Colonel’s suggestions later!”
Yamamoto Kazuki said no more. As proud as he is, it is already valuable to remind him that these army conservatives still cling to the same old military concepts and arrogantly believe that their troops are still invincible.
Most generals don't realize that their army has fallen into decline on this land. No...it's not that they don't realize it, but they don't want to realize it.
Many generals, including Major Akai, believed that his special agent team was trying to please others. In response, Yamamoto Kazuki would only call them idiots!
Yamamoto Kazuki left Wuyin County and got on the train back to Taiyuan. This time he came here mainly for Major Yincheng and the reserve team training here.
Sitting on the train, Kazuki Yamamoto couldn't help but be a little angry at the traces of battle he saw in the prisoner of war camp, and Major Ginjo, who he thought was an effective subordinate, said, "Ginjo, Anubaga!"
Obviously, we should give full play to the team's individual combat capabilities and engage in street and mobile warfare with the enemy, rather than clinging to the position and fighting a defensive battle.
After returning, Yamamoto Kazuki decided to strengthen the special agent team's training in this area.
And, "Eighth Route Army? The next target is you!"
Yamamoto Kazuki is very ambitious and wants to prove the usefulness of his special agent team. In Jin Province, there are two targets that are most worthy of his action. One is the Second Theater Command and the other is the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
This loss made him decide to target the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
Returning to the First Army Headquarters, Yamamoto Kazuki found Yoshio Shinozuka in a hall and stood respectfully, waiting for the general.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was leaning on the desk and writing calligraphy with a brush, put down the brush and put down his hands, looking at the big characters in front of him with satisfaction.
After a while, Shinozuka Yoshio raised his head and looked at Yamamoto Kazuki, "Yamamoto Osaki has been waiting for a long time."
Yamamoto Kazuki has great respect for General Shinozuka Yoshio, who has always supported him, "No, General, I just arrived at the humble position."
Yoshio Shinozuka strolled to the side of the hall and sat comfortably on the Grand Master's chair, "How was the result of Colonel Yamamoto's trip?"
Kazuki Yamamoto carefully reported the information he collected and analyzed to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"General, I maintain my judgment. On this increasingly balanced battlefield, the power of an ant can tip the balance of stability. This small force of the Eighth Route Army just illustrates this point!"
"The cage tactics currently implemented by our army are being gradually dismantled by the Eighth Route Army. Our army should innovate its tactics!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded in agreement and agreed with Yamamoto Kazuki, "Yes, Colonel Yamamoto's special operations are very suitable for dealing with the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla operations!"
Seeing that Yoshio Shinozuka was very supportive of him, Kazuki Yamamoto took advantage of the situation and proposed his plan, "General, I have decided to launch a raid on the former enemy command headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and I implore the headquarters to provide intelligence support!"
However, Shinozuka Yoshio did not directly agree to Yamamoto Kazuki's request for combat. He thought for a while and said, "Yamamoto-kun, I personally support your decision. If the Eighth Route Army is not eliminated, our army's rear will be uneasy!"
Yamamoto Kazuki immediately understood that it seemed that his goal needed to be temporarily postponed, and he was very sensible and did not make another request.
Yoshio Shinozuka explained the reason, "Just before, the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters issued a new order, requiring our First Army to launch an attack on the national army troops stationed near Jincheng and annihilate them!"
"Open up the passage and connect the areas occupied by our army in Shanxi and the areas occupied by our army in northern Henan!"
"The headquarters calls this combat plan the "Spring Shanxi Operation"! "
"Next, Colonel Yamamoto will focus on this combat mission first. We all recognize Yamamoto-kun's staff skills!"
Yamamoto Kazuki stood at attention and bowed respectfully, "Hey, Wakali Masita!"
The mood of the beloved general still needs to be taken care of. Yoshio Shinozuka gave a guarantee, "Please rest assured, Yamamoto-kun. After the battle is over, I will let the Intelligence Division fully support you."
"At that time, I will invite the Chief of Staff of the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Major General Miyano, to recommend your special operations. Yamamoto-kun, please use it to your fullest!"
Kazuki Yamamoto spoke firmly, "General, please rest assured, the humble position will definitely change Major General Miyano's old thinking about the field army!"
Yamamoto Kazuki was so confident that he decided to operate on the Eighth Route Army headquarters to impress Major General Miyano and carry forward his special operations theory.
While Li Yunlong was still repairing, the entire Little Japanese First Army, under the instructions of Yoshio Shinozuka, began to move on a large scale and continued to gather in the direction of southern Shanxi.
Multiple divisions left their bases and started heading to the predetermined assembly point according to the established route.
A large amount of military supplies were transported to the southern Shanxi area through the Zhengtai Railway and Baijin Railway.
In order to ensure the safety of transportation lines, the Little Japanese garrison and most of the puppet troops, under orders, began intensive inspections along the railways and highways to clear out hostile elements.
For a time, the land of Jin was rumbled with war clouds.
Of course, such a big move by the little Japanese could not be hidden from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Second Theater Command, and they quickly determined the true intentions of the little Japanese.
The former enemy commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Command, General Wei Lihuang, immediately contacted the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Ignoring Chiang Kai-shek's repeated orders, Wei Lihuang took the initiative to ask the Eighth Route Army to attack the transportation lines behind the Japs. The two parties should cooperate wholeheartedly to defeat the Japs' intention to connect southern Shanxi and northern Henan.
