When the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, heard the news that two Kwantung Army squadrons were annihilated and the gas bombs were destroyed, he angrily drew his command knife and slashed at the chessboard in front of him.
The poor beggar-like Eighth Route Army dared to attack the Kwantung Army, which was well-equipped and had first-class combat effectiveness?
This matter required Yoshio Shinozuka and Shun Tada, the commander of the North China Front, to explain it.
At the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka stood behind his desk. In front of him stood communications staff officer Toshimatsu Kasai and intelligence staff officer Takeo Anten.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Takeo Andeng with a gloomy expression, and asked, "Ando-kun, have you found out which unit of the Eighth Route Army was responsible for attacking the Kwantung Army?"
An Tengwunan looked stern and nodded: "Report to the commander, the one who attacked the Kwantung Army transport team this time is probably the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"
Since Li Yunlong acted without authorization again this time and did not even ask for instructions from his superiors, let alone the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the Japanese army's intelligence system could not find relevant information at all.
Why do you say again?
Because Li Yunlong didn't do this kind of thing once or twice.
When Li Yunlong took over the new regiment, the equipment was poor and the troops lacked training. The brigade commander gave him some autonomy.
Why can Li Yunlong mobilize troops to engage in side jobs without authorization? Because he is protected by the brigade commander.
This is also the reason why the new group became as capable as the main group in less than a year in Li Yunlong's hands.
Mainly because the brigade commander wiped Li Yunlong's butt from behind, otherwise Li Yunlong would have been punished by the headquarters long ago.
It's just that this time it was a bit big. Two squadrons of the Kwantung Army were killed, and 20 tons of poison gas bombs were destroyed. Even Shinozuka Yoshio was a little hairy.
Even Shun Tada said on the phone that this was an extremely serious security incident that occurred in the First Army Defense Area.
And ordered Yoshio Shinozuka to resolve the matter as soon as possible, find the culprit and chop off his head!
"New regiment of the 386th brigade?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly when he heard this, "Li Yunlong?"
He knew about the New Regiment because not long ago, captain Sakata's jade was shattered in the hands of this Li Yunlong.
Moreover, the broken captain of the Sakata Alliance and the supreme commander of the Sakata Alliance were all beheaded without exception.
In Shinozuka Yoshio's impression, Li Yunlong was different from other Eighth Route generals. He was an Eighth Route commander who was extremely cruel and cruel, and as cunning as a fox.
"Hi!" An Tengwunan paused and said, "It's this Li Yunlong!"
Yoshio Shinozuka then asked: "Ando-kun, do you have any basis for this?"
"Hi!" An Teng Takeo paused again, "From the scene of the attack on the Kwantung Army, a large number of 9mm bullet eggshells were found. From the remains of the Kwantung Army soldiers, most of these 9mm bullets were found. In the intelligence system, only the Li Yunlong Department of the Eighth Route Army A large amount of equipment uses bullets, so I guess that the initiator of this attack on the Kwantung Army was the Li Yunlong Department of the Eighth Route Army!"
"It's Li Yunlong again!" Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes slightly, and a chilling aura disappeared.
Frightened, Takeo Andeng and Toshimatsu Kasai hurriedly bowed their backs, not daring to take a breath, with fear in their eyes.
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Andeng Takeo again: "Has your intelligence department found Li Yunlong's detailed information?"
"not yet!"
Seeing the signs of Yoshio Shinozuka's face turning dark, Takeo Andeng quickly explained: "This person has never held a position in the China government and has no contact with any agencies of the China government. Before the Imperial Holy War, this person He is a little-known figure in the Chinese Communist Army. According to regulations, the Imperial Intelligence Department only collects information on imaginary enemies of the enemy country or officers of the imaginary enemy army at the major general level or division level or above!"
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Ando-kun, your intelligence department must find out Li Yunlong's information as soon as possible. I want to know all the information about this person!"
"In addition, we must find out as soon as possible how the transport team's information was leaked!"
"Hi! General!" An Tengwunan paused and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yoshio Shinozuka asked again: "How is the intelligence collection on the Eighth Route Defense deployment near Daxia Bay going?"
An Teng Takeo replied: "Report to General, the intelligence has been collected this morning. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is stationed on all sides of Daxia Bay. However, Yang Village in the north is the weak point of the Eighth Route Defense deployment. According to the intelligence returned, there is no such thing in Yang Village for the time being. Guard the Eighth Route Army troops!"
The Eighth Route Army, Japanese Army, Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army each have their own intelligence systems.
Maybe you meet a salesman or a merchant while walking on the road, and he may be an intelligence officer of a certain party.
There are even some double agents.
Since the beginning of World War I, various countries have long realized the importance of intelligence in war, and the Japanese military's intelligence system is still relatively powerful.
"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio's face looked better than before, and he nodded, "Take the information to my office immediately, and make another copy to Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki!"
"Hi!" Kasai Toshimatsu and Andeng Takeo said in unison, and then walked out.
…
The night when the Kwantung Army transport team was destroyed.
Li Yunlong led the soldiers back to Zhengjiacun.
The new regiment suffered 85 casualties in this battle, among which No. 21 was seriously injured and was sent to the field hospital for treatment.
The 36 lightly wounded people were simply bandaged and returned to their base to recuperate.
After he recovers from his injuries, he becomes a hero again and goes into battle to kill the enemy.
Li Yunlong's calculations were very clear.
If the Kwantung Army fought hand-to-hand with bayonets, the more than 600 men brought by Li Yunlong could wipe out two squadrons of the Kwantung Army.
But it would be good to have 200 people who can still come back intact.
New regiment, regimental headquarters.
Li Yunlong looked very satisfied as he looked at the Ai Mengyi 40 submachine gun hanging on his chest. Without this guy, he might not know how many casualties he would have suffered today.
Li Yunlong patted the submachine gun: "Da Biao, the commando soldiers must pay attention to the maintenance of the submachine gun. This guy can kill the Japanese and save our lives!"
Zhang Dabiao grinned slightly: "Don't worry, commander, I will make those bastards clean their guns every day. This German-made submachine gun is really easy to use. It is both light and powerful. The 38-gauge gun we captured from the Japanese was so beautiful." , Nowadays, we can’t look down upon this little devil’s equipment!”
Li Yunlong said: "The equipment of the little devil is indeed inferior to this German-made submachine gun, but then again, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, so we don't have too much equipment for the little devil."
"Okay, let's go back?" Li Yunlong said again, "I'll take a dip and sleep."
Zhang Dabiao then asked: "Commander, after such a great victory, why don't you drink two bowls to celebrate?"
"Look at your potential, you only worry about those two people every day."
Li Yunlong took out half a bottle of Sweet Potato Shao from under the bed and handed it to Zhang Dabiao: "Here, I can only take a sip. I still owe Wang Chengzhu half a catty."
Zhang Dabiao picked up the wine bottle and took a big gulp into his mouth. He put the bottle on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
"Go away!" Li Yunlong waved his hand.
"Captain, I'm leaving!" Zhang Dabiao raised his hand and saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute, and then walked out.
