Yamamoto was among the officers.
At this moment, his expression was quite complicated, with various emotions mixed in it, but there was no joy.
He knew that the general had not finished speaking some words, and this was intended to save him face.
This time, while the main force of the First Army was fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain, the Imperial troops were defeated by not only a few reinforcements from the independent regiment, but also Ping'an County, and he, the captain of the First Army's special agent team.
Originally thought to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he took advantage of the Eighth Route Army cadres' internal exchange meeting in the independent regiment to carry out the beheading operation.
Catch 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 against the special agent team from beginning to end.
The result was a disastrous defeat, and the elite secret service team was completely ruined.
Even Yamamoto, the captain of the special agent team, almost fell into Kong Jie's hands.
Yamamoto originally wanted to promote the emerging military field of special operations and make 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 it was frustrated by Kong Jie all the way to the current situation.
How can Yamamoto have the dignity to promote his special operations to army officers?
Without any real record, his special operations were not convincing at all to the Japanese officers who were so stuck in the rules that they even looked down on special operations and thought it was just a small fight.
After the meeting, Yoshio Shinozuka left Yamamoto Kazuki alone.
Yamamoto bowed to Yoshio Shinozuka and thanked him.
"General, thank you for your defense at the meeting. Yamamoto is ashamed. If he had not been willing to accept this insult, Yamamoto would have committed suicide by caesarean section to thank the emperor!"
Yoshio Shinozuka spread his hands and said comfortingly: "Yamamoto-kun, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. Only when you can afford it and let it go can you truly become an outstanding special operations commander in your own right."
"This time you led the special agent team to fight against the National Army guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain and achieved multiple victories at the lowest cost. This 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 intensify the training of the special agent team!"
"General!"
Yamamoto said unwillingly: "The special team's failure a week ago was due to encountering a different guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army. According to our department's investigation, this force is most likely the one sent by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to fight guerrilla warfare in the Zhongtiao Mountains. Mountain Combat Force.”
"How can I be content with not completely eradicating this Eighth Route Army guerrillas?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yamamoto-kun, do you still remember the person you were before?"
This sudden inquiry had a shallow meaning but a deep meaning.
In a daze, Yamamoto seemed to see the high-spirited, courageous, ambitious, and even arrogant version of himself a year ago.
At this moment, Yamamoto, whose edges had been smoothed by Kong Jie, looked at himself a year ago and felt a little ridiculous.
But once upon a time, he actually lost all his lofty ambitions, calm mind and belief in victory?
Seeing that Yamamoto seemed to be in a trance, Yoshio Shinozuka continued:
"After returning from the Special Forces Academy in Berlin, Germany, he always had the belief that the Imperial Army would win, and even expressed his great ambition to revolutionize the Imperial Army's fighting methods. This is the Yamamoto-kun I knew at the beginning!"
"Yamamoto-kun, have you completely forgotten all your past ideals?"
"Report to the general, I dare not forget it even for a day!" Yamamoto replied.
Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Then put aside the temporary defeat and hatred in front of you and do what you should do."
"The stalemate with the Eighth Route Army, which is good at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, continues in this mountainous area. That is not your special agent team, and it is not your special operations style. What you should do now is to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and lead your special agent team back to the First Army barracks. "
"What I want you to do is to be the seed of the empire. As you said at the beginning, use special operations to deal with the guerrilla warfare of the Chinese army."
"Then what you should do is let these seeds grow, and even grow into towering trees."
"Go back, take the last elite of your special agent team, and use your valuable experience to train more special operations forces for the imperial army, so as to completely eliminate the entire Eighth Route Army's guerrilla forces."
"That's a complete victory that completely crushes the entire situation!"
This wily Yoshio Shinozuka saw the problem to the point.
He almost told Yamamoto directly that I was preparing to be the seed of hope for cultivating the special forces of the empire.
If I continue to let you mess around like this, from the beginning of the beheading operation to failure, to the head-on confrontation with some mountain guerrillas.
It would all be wasted.
You Yamamoto, you should go back and use your last light and heat to train more special operations troops for the imperial army!
"As for dealing with the Eighth Route Army and annihilating this difficult independent group, I have my own follow-up plan."
Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order, and Yamamoto did not dare to say anything after being defeated, and immediately responded: "Hi!"
…
Somewhere in the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Kong Jie's support for Han Feng's mountain company arrived smoothly.
There was the batch of American equipment obtained from John, as well as some explosives and ammunition provided by the regiment's munitions office, plus some applicable medicines and supplies.
In addition, there are military backbones sent by each battalion (mainly some squad and platoon leaders), and some newly reinforced soldiers.
Han Feng handed over the wounded who had appeared in the mountain company since the battle in the past few days to the transportation team that came and escorted them back to the base to recuperate.
After the handover between the two sides was completed, Han Feng asked the wounded soldiers who were unwilling to leave Zhongtiao Mountain to recuperate after returning to the base area. The transport team took the wounded away, and the soldiers of the mountain company couldn't help but cheer.
This batch of equipment came just in time.
The soldiers from the transportation team in the regiment were still there before, and they couldn't lose face by being useless, so everyone just kept calm. Now they were already bursting with joy.
"Good boy, company commander, is this the American equipment we have seen in military manuals?"
"This is an Enfield rifle. I recognize this thing. It's such a good gun. You can feel the difference as soon as you use it. It's much more powerful than the Japanese 38-inch rifle!"
The platoon leaders and squad leaders hugged this one, touched that one, and marveled at each other.
The ninth squad leader not far away 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 has a completely different feeling from our modified 50-mm cannon. "
When Han Feng heard the reputation, he also said with a surprised look on his face:
"The American M2 60mm mortar can shoot far, has high accuracy, is powerful, and is lightweight. It is much easier to use than our bulky 82mm mortar."
"I really didn't expect that when the regiment leader said he wanted to support us with a batch of equipment, it would be these American equipment!"
While everyone was marveling in admiration, Captain Zhang of the New Regiment and Captain Du of the New Second Regiment came up the mountain road not far away.
The two of them were also here to send off wounded soldiers. This time, three companies of wounded soldiers were sent back with the transport team. However, after the wounded soldiers returned, they would be sent back to the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the 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 stuff is it? I see that all of your soldiers are as happy as celebrating the New Year."
Han Feng strode over to greet him and said with a hearty smile:
"Nothing good, just some brand-new American equipment sent by my parents, including two heavy machine guns, two hundred Enfield rifles, fifty or sixty Jin-made submachine guns, plus Browning light machine guns, spring sniper Rifles and several M2 60mm mortars, shells and bullets packed in five or six boxes..."
As Han Feng pretended to be nonchalant...
"Oh my god, Old Han, did Commander Kong knock down the Japanese arsenal in Taiyuan City?"
"You tell me there's nothing good about this?"
Captain Zhang and Captain Du's jaws almost dropped to the ground. They finally saw that Old Han was showing off in disguise!
Then, the two company commanders approached Han Feng with smiles.
"Old Han~"
Hearing the two shouts in unison, Han Feng felt goosebumps all over the floor. He said hurriedly: "Excuse me, Lao Zhang and Lao Du, can you please stop shouting so disgustingly?"
"When we fought in the regiment, we were tied to the whole regiment. There was no logistics or support. The capable ones ate meat, and the incompetent ones couldn't even drink soup."
"But it's different now. We have three mountain companies fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain. Each regiment is its own natal family. I have my natal family sending equipment, and you also have your natal family, so don't worry about my equipment, right?" "
"Want it? Ask Captain Li and Captain Ding to apply!"
Company Commander Zhang: "..."
Captain Du: "..."
Zhang Min clapped his hands helplessly, "Okay, if the three of us compare to our parents' family, which one can compare to you, Old Han?"
Du Zhongcheng smiled and said: "That's right, Old Han, let's talk about business, let's discuss how to fight the next battle!"
"I don't know what's going on with this little devil right now. He's been conducting sweeps back and forth endlessly these past few days."
"It's not a big deal for us to just keep running around in the mountains. These supplies will be used up sooner or later, so we can't all go to my parents' house, right? It would be a big loss for this old man."
Han Feng said: "The soldiers I sent out to reconnoiter the county found that many Japanese troops who were originally scattered around the county were shrinking their forces and seemed to be preparing to withdraw from the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The sudden intensification of the raids probably means they are approaching. Before we evacuated, we carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression in the end."
Zhang Mindao: "It's very possible, Old Han, this is a good thing! With the main force of the Japanese army returning to support Taiyuan City, the pressure of guerrilla warfare on our side will be much less."
Han Feng shook his head and said firmly: "Old Zhang, Lao Du, do you just want to put the little devil back like this?"
"We have so many troops from the three regiments of the Iron Triangle. This time, the regiment commander sent our three companies. This is the greatest trust and recognition for our three companies."
"In the end, we just had a little fuss in Zhongtiao Mountain for a while, and were chased by the Japs, running around in the mountains, groaning and suffocating, and then we watched the Japs go back?"
"I don't care what you think, I can't swallow this breath anyway."
Zhang Min said hurriedly: "You, Old Han, always have the most clever ideas. Tell me, do you have any more ideas?"
Du Zhongcheng also looked over.
Neither of these two company commanders were vegetarians, and no one wanted to just watch the Japanese evacuate.
Han Feng thought for a moment and replied: "Now that the Japanese are intensifying their efforts to carry out the final sweep before evacuating, the Japanese probably think that we will remain in the deep mountains and forests.
They never thought that we would be bold enough to launch an attack. This is a good opportunity for us to counterattack. "
"How can it be so easy for the Japanese to evacuate right under our noses?"
"The longer we can hold back the main force of the Japs, the better the situation will be for the main force of our regiment."
"Although our three mountain companies have a small number of people, we can't let the little devils look down on us!"
"In this way, each of our three companies will send out an experienced combat team of veterans. The number of people does not need to be too large. Twenty people in each team will be enough. Go to the county seat in the Japanese-occupied area and collect the little Japanese soldiers. Get your ass fucked."
"It just so happened that this time the regiment leader sent over a lot of remotely detonated explosive packs and even time bombs. These are perfect weapons for us to infiltrate into Guizi County and carry out internal attacks."
"In addition, the remaining national guerrillas in the Zhongtiao Mountains have been wiped out by the Japanese during this period, and their morale is very low. Let's take the opportunity to fight like this to boost the morale of the army."
"If it really doesn't work, we can still use the banner of the National Army guerrillas! Let's do practical things and give the credit to the National Army. The National Army suffered a great humiliation due to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. Now it is possible to restore its reputation and regain its reputation. If there is an opportunity, the national army will definitely admit it with their noses pinched."
"Reporter Shen can also help with propaganda and tell the folks in the occupied areas that the national army will fight back soon."
"In this way, the national army is oppressed by public opinion. Even if they don't have the courage to retake Zhongtiao Mountain, they still have to show off, right?"
"In this way, we benefit, the national army takes the blame, and we can also encourage the national army guerrillas to continue fighting against the Japanese army. Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
When Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng heard this, they thought it was a good idea!
Zhang Minle said: "As expected of you, Old Han, you are really a bad person!"
The three of them hit it off immediately.
Han Feng glanced at the direction of the Independence Regiment base area and complained in his heart:
Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, then you have wronged me. I learned this from our regiment leader. Every time our regiment leader does something bad, isn't it your commander Li's fault?
...A sneeze, a sneeze——
"Damn it, who is scolding me behind my back?"
At the station of the New Second Regiment, the big-headed Li Yunlong sneezed several times, rubbed his nose and cursed...
