Yuci City.
Yamamoto Kazuki, who carried the Colonel's epaulettes on his shoulders, was sitting in the headquarters of the third brigade, listening to a report from a subordinate wearing the rank of second lieutenant.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have not found the troublemaker Tubalu showing up for two days in a row."
"Yo Xi! It seems that this bunch of thugs have run away!
Matsuda-kun, has the torture of the wounded man we captured yielded any results?
What are their numbers? "
“The man was seriously injured, and it took Dr. Fukuda three days to revive him.
But as soon as Beizi went to torture him, he tried to sneak attack Beizi with his fists. Beizi counterattacked and killed him, but he failed to extract any information from the torture.
However, I could still vaguely identify them from the tattered armbands on his body. They were from the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment! "
There was still a hint of admiration on the second lieutenant's face. Obviously, although he was an enemy, he had to admire such an opponent who was not afraid of death.
"Nani?
Independent group?
Li Yunlong?
Baghya Road! ! "
Yamamoto Kazuki was shocked, and then angry.
This is his old enemy!
He thinks about it day and night, and wants to eradicate the target!
Then he ordered viciously:
"Matsuda-san, go check for me where this group of Tubal Road lived and where they ate after they entered Yuci City. Catch all the relevant people and torture them severely. There must be spies from the Eighth Route Army among them. !
Be sure to kill them all! "
"Hi!"
The second lieutenant immediately bowed and agreed.
After sending away Matsuda Atsushi, Yamamoto Kazuki walked to the map on the wall, checked it carefully, and immediately sent someone to call Lieutenant Colonel Urakawa Yukishi, the captain of the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Brigade.
Now that Tubalu in Yuci City is gone, Yamamoto Kazuki can free up his hands to do things.
He remembered Kazuo Shinozuka's explanation to him that Junyuki Hanatani would find someone to replace him as the acting brigade leader at any time.
So while he is still in this position, he must make the most of the opportunity.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
Yukashi Urakawa walked in respectfully, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
A small group of Tubal troops caused chaos in Yuci City, and many officers were killed in sneak attacks.
Several of their captains jointly mobilized troops to encircle and suppress them, almost turning the entire Yuci City upside down, but they didn't catch any of them.
It wasn't until Yamamoto Kazuki, the acting brigade commander, arrived at Yuci City with more than 20 elite soldiers, that he took several shots and finally killed dozens of people on Tubal Road, which amazed them.
How could Yamamoto Kazuki, the military commander with strong skills, not be admired by useless people like them?
Originally, these captains secretly dreamed that they would have the opportunity to become brigade commanders. After seeing Yamamoto Kazuki's methods, they suddenly felt that they were not worthy at all!
He instantly gave up his extravagant hopes and began to habitually obey any orders from Yamamoto Kazuki, even hoping that he, the acting brigade commander, could be directly promoted to a regular position.
"Mr. Urakawa, gather your troops immediately, bring all the weapons and equipment, and follow me out of the city. I want to go to Shouxian County!"
"Nani, has Shou County been attacked again?"
Urakawa Yukishi was a little shocked.
After the former New Second Regiment occupied Shouxian County, several of their brigade captains discussed it and finally dispatched two brigade troops to rush to Shouxian County and resumed their occupation of Shouxian County.
Of course, they also collected a corpse for their dear brigade commander and the Locust Army warriors of the Sixth Brigade on the way.
However, when they saw the mountains of human heads on the Baishiling Highway, they still felt angry and frightened.
In their culture, if your head is chopped off, you will not be reincarnated or ascend to heaven after death!
Now that Tubalu is so cruel, how can they not be afraid?
After the two brigades arrived in Shouxian County, they did not catch any trace of the New Second Regiment, and could only temporarily restore the city defense, and then left two squadrons to garrison, while the others withdrew to Yuci.
So now when Urakawa Yukishi heard that Yamamoto Kazuki said that he was going to Shouxian County, his first reaction was that Tubal Road was attacking Shouxian County again, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
I thought to myself: Isn’t this Tubal Road too crazy? Don't you take our locust army seriously at all?
"No! It's not Tubal Road who takes the initiative to attack Shouxian County, it's me who wants to wipe out the unruly people in Shouxian County!
Since Tubal Road and others dare to ambush my third brigade in Shouxian County, then I will ask the Chinese unruly people in Shouxian County to bury the Locust Army warriors with me! "
Yamamoto Kazuki said cruelly.
"Xinxi! Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is right!
China's unruly people are really abominable, and they secretly support those nasty Tubalists!
But is the strength of a brigade slightly insufficient?
The former head of the Jize Brigade also led a brigade to Shouxian County for rescue, but was ambushed by Tubal Road in Baishiling and the entire army was wiped out.
If Tubal Road sets up an ambush again, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. "
Yukashi Urakawa reminded.
Yamamoto Kazuki sneered when he heard this:
"ambush?
If Tubalu really dares to come out, that will be just right!
I'm worried that I can't find any trace of them!
Killing Tubal Road is much more interesting than killing those unruly Chinese people!
I am different from that idiot Yoshizawa Shigeo. Tubalu wants to eat a brigade led by me. They are dreaming! "
Seeing his resolute attitude, Urakawa Yukishi did not dare to persuade him any more, so he nodded immediately and went out to prepare.
…
Soon, Urakawa Yukashi gathered the troops, brought all the weapons and equipment, lined up outside the brigade headquarters, and then came to invite Yamamoto Kazuki.
After hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto immediately walked out with fifty team members.
Among the fifty people, twenty were brought by him from Jinyang City, and the other thirty were all elite veterans selected from the third brigade in Yuci.
Although he agreed to Shinozuka Kazuo to come to Yuci to be the acting brigade leader, he did not forget his special warfare dream.
So after coming to Yuci, while encircling and suppressing Wei Dayong's special operations company, he also selected and trained special agents.
It just so happened that the existence of Wei Dayong's special battle company also gave him the best opportunity to train troops.
After nearly a month of fighting with the special operations company, he felt that his new special agent team already had 50% to 60% of the skills of the previous special agent team.
…
Kazuki Yamamoto looked at the 1,100 soldiers of the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Brigade in front of him. He nodded slightly and without any nonsense, ordered decisively:
"Leave immediately, target Shouxian County!"
Following this order, the 1,100 soldiers immediately turned around and headed towards the east gate of Yuci.
The leading soldiers riding three-wheeled bicycles were at the front to clear the way, and the heavy soldiers driving the carts and carrying the baggage were at the back.
Yamamoto Kazuki himself was riding on a fine war horse, surrounded by dozens of his agents.
…
After the soldiers left the east gate, Captain Urakawa Yukishi saw that Yamamoto Kazuki seemed to be in a good mood and couldn't help but asked cautiously:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there was an order from Jinyang City earlier, telling us to secure the city and not to go out for raids at will. If we come out now, are we violating Jinyang City's order?"
“Yoshi!
Urakawa-kun, you are the only officer with a brain I have seen since I came to the Third Brigade! "
Yamamoto Kazuki said with a venomous tongue.
As soon as he said these words, Urakawa Yukashi didn't know whether he should be happy or embarrassed.
I just had to bite the bullet and thank you:
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
Yamamoto Kazuki nodded and explained:
“His Excellency Commander Shinozuka ordered all ministries to secure the city because all our mobile forces were transferred to the Nakajo Mountain battlefield.
But now, our third brigade must sweep Shouxian County, otherwise Tubal Road in northwestern Shanxi will know that our troops are empty and may attack Shouxian County again.
Although there are currently two squadrons of troops stationed in Shouxian County, it is not safe.
Since Qianfan Tubal Road can ambush a brigade of our army, after nearly a month of rest, they will definitely have the strength to capture Shouxian County where two squadrons are stationed!
You know, do you understand? "
After hearing his explanation, Urakawa Yukishi suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"Hi! Your Excellency, the brigade commander, has a far-sighted vision. I admire you for your humble position!"
…
Marching all the way, they soon left the limits of Yuci City and entered the boundaries of Shouxian County.
Yamamoto Kazuki immediately ordered:
"Change the road, take the small road, clear out the villages along the way, collect food and supplies, leave no one behind, men, women, old and young!"
"Nani? Leave no one behind?"
Urakawa Yukishi was shocked.
"Baga! Do you sympathize with these unruly Chinese people?"
Yamamoto Kazuki waved his hand and whipped Urakawa Koshi on the head, immediately drawing a bloody streak on his face.
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, you don't dare to humble your position.
But after killing all the people, we will no longer be able to collect food and materials from here. From now on, the supply of materials for the Shouxian garrison will all depend on nearby cities. Will this hinder the cause of the Locust Army? "
"Humph, now Tubal Road and we are competing for these villages. Only if we eradicate all these villages will Tubal Road lose the soil for survival and become difficult to move forward.
If these unscrupulous people are allowed to secretly feed Tubal Road and provide them with food and soldiers because of their greed for supplies, that will be a serious problem for our Locust Army! "
Yamamoto Kazuki said sternly.
This was the lesson he learned after pondering over the entire battle with the Independent Regiment when he was recuperating in Jinyang City.
"Hey! I got it!"
Urakawa Yukishi didn't know whether he really understood or pretended to understand. He nodded repeatedly regardless of the pain on his face.
…
Following Yamamoto Kazuki's order, the people in the villages in Shouxian County were in trouble.
A large group of elite little devils dispersed and attacked, like an iron broom, sweeping all the villages from west to east.
Wherever they went, all the men, women, and children who had no time to escape were killed, all the houses were burned down, and all the food and livestock were stolen.
Countless screams resounded throughout Shouxian County.
In order to train his special agents, Kazuki Yamamoto also deliberately asked the fifty special agents to kill old, weak, women and children who were unable to resist with their bare hands, in order to cultivate their fighting will and murderous spirit, trying to make them ruthless killing machines.
It can be said to be very heartbreaking!
Faced with such a brutal enemy, the people in each village had no choice but to rise up and resist.
Especially in our army's base areas, militiamen and guerrillas decisively launched a desperate attack with their crude weapons against the little Japanese who broke into the village, burned, killed, looted and tortured them.
It's a pity that they lack weapons and ammunition and have low combat effectiveness. Although they can occasionally kill a few little devils, they can't change the overall situation.
One village after another was burned down...
Urakawa Yukishi saw that many villages actually had armed militia and guerrillas, and he couldn't help but admire Yamamoto Kazuki. The flattery was given one after another, which made Yamamoto Kazuki feel very comfortable.
…
Naturally, Yamamoto Kazuki's crazy behavior quickly reached Kong Jie's ears, and he quickly sent out scouts to investigate the situation.
Soon, the scouts sent back the results.
Kong Jie suddenly frowned when he heard that a large group of Japanese soldiers had arrived and were sweeping forward in every village.
What a brigade!
With the strength of the new second group, they really can’t beat it!
He couldn't help but ask political commissar Dou Guangjie:
"Old Dou, what do you think?"
"How else can I watch it?
We can only mobilize the villagers to relocate and send troops to stop the attack. "
Dou Guangjie smiled helplessly.
Even if you know you can’t do something, you still have to do it!
After all, our army cannot let the little devils massacre the villagers and ignore it!
"Hey, I'm still planning to recruit and train troops this winter, and strive to expand the number to 2,000. Now the little devil won't give me any time!"
Kong Jie hammered the table, feeling very depressed.
Why is it so difficult for his new second group to develop?
Is it really because his abilities are inferior to those of Li Yunlong and Yang Yuanshan?
Thinking of Yang Yuanshan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked Dou Guangjie:
"Old Dou, how about we notify the secret service camp and ask Yang Yuanshan to send troops to join us in eating these little devils?
what do you think? "
"This is a full team! I'm afraid it won't be that easy to eat them."
Dou Guangjie was a little scared.
Although Yang Yuanshan's spy battalion had often eaten up the Japanese's full-scale brigade, most of them were ambush battles, and they could choose favorable terrain and build fortifications in advance.
And if we want to eliminate this group of little devils now, we have to fight encounters and positional battles. The casualties will definitely be very heavy!
"No matter, Lao Dou, let's divide the work and cooperate.
You take people to mobilize the villagers to relocate. According to the news reported by the scouts, this group of Japs is coming from Yuci to Shouxian County. You give priority to the villages along the route.
I led the troops to find favorable terrain to stop these little devils.
In addition, send someone to notify Yang Yuanshan.
This kid has always wanted to fight. Now that I give him this opportunity, he will definitely be willing.
When the time comes, it depends on what he wants whether to repel these little devils or annihilate them all. "
Kong Jie gave the order decisively.
The military situation was fierce and there was no room for hesitation, so he decisively issued the order.
"yes!"
