Next, Chen Feng negotiated with Li Yunlong the price of severely damaging a Japanese division.
There are still 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1,000 tons of food.
If you can kill the Japanese division commander, the price will be even better.
After that, Chen Feng left Yangcun and returned to the base area after eating and drinking.
Immediately afterwards, the Langya Squadron of the special forces directly under the headquarters, which was training in the New Regiment, received the transfer order and left Yangcun.
Among the members of the Langya Squadron, more than 400 people from all military regions went to the new regiment to participate in training. Only more than 50 people eventually succeeded in becoming special team members. They are all the elites among the elites.
After more than a month of devilish training, the team members in these training camps have completely transformed.
However, all the special forces training methods and operational ideas were taught, and Li Yunlong's exclusive secret "Special Forces Special Training Operation Manual" was also taught.
As long as you continue to train and fight with the above training methods in the future, there will be no problem.
Moreover, Comrade Wei Dayong was appointed as the acting captain of the Langya Squadron, responsible for leading the Langya Squadron to participate in this anti-mopping operation.
The combat uniforms, weapons and communication equipment of the Wolf Fang Squadron are all the same as those of the Sword Squadron.
The head of the headquarters was very satisfied after reviewing the Wolf Fang Squadron.
…
A few days later.
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
"Your Majesty Commander, are you looking for me?"
Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi walked quickly into the commander's office, put his feet together and bowed to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Kusuyama-kun, are you here?"
Shinozuka Yoshio put down the folder in his hand, raised his head, and then said: "Kusuyama-kun, your suspicion trick worked!"
Most of the six regiments and one cavalry brigade deployed by the Japanese army on the Baijin Line were fake.
A division was deployed on Changhan Road, but this division was a puppet army wearing Japanese uniforms.
The materials were transported to the designated location during the day and then secretly transported back along the same route at night.
The real Japs have quietly moved to the western front of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The divisions on the northern front lines of Heshun and Xiyang are genuine.
The deployment of two divisions on the front lines of Xiangyuan and Licheng is also genuine.
200 aircraft mobilized from the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army have arrived at Xinxiang and Yuncheng airports.
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "The Chinese government army has transferred about 30,000 troops from Zhongtiao Mountain. Currently, there are still about 170,000 troops of the China Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain. More importantly, , the intelligence department just reported that Wei Lihuang, commander of China's First War Zone, went to Chongqing to report on his duties a month ago and was placed under house arrest because he refused to engage in anti-communist friction."
"Oh?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi's eyes lit up, "Do you know where Wei Lihuang is being held?"
If he knew where he was being held, he might be beheaded by agents.
"We don't know yet." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, "However, at this time, the overall situation of Zhongtiao Mountain is controlled by He Jingzhi, the Minister of Defense of China. It is not an exaggeration to say that the group is leaderless."
Later, Shinozuka Yoshio emphasized: "Kusuzan-kun, our time has come!"
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi's eyes flashed sharply, and he echoed: "I also think that this is the best time to attack Mount Nakajo!"
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Yoshi, here's the order, the attack time is 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow. Each attacking force will launch an attack on the China Central Army on time in accordance with the battle plan."
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi paused, then turned and walked out.
"Kusuyama-kun, please wait a moment."
Yoshio Shinozuka stopped Kusuyama Hideyoshi, picked up a telegram and said: "The telegram from the base camp regarding the appointment of the commander of the 37th Division has arrived. Kusuyama-kun, congratulations. From now on, you will be responsible for the appointment of the commander of the 37th Division." The general is in command."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned around with uncontrollable joy on his face.
Walking up to Yoshio Shinozuka, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Commander, for your cultivation!"
"You're welcome." Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Kusuyama-kun, you can take up your post at the 37th Division tomorrow."
Although the strength of the 37th Division has been replenished, it is not the main force attacking Zhongtiao Mountain, so there is no problem in taking office at this time.
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly paused, then stood at attention again, then turned and walked out.
…
The third day.
The Japanese aviation force took the lead in launching attacks and bombed Xi'an, Xianyang, Tongguan and Zhengzhou.
The Japanese army's six divisions and three brigades adopted tactics of pincer attack, central breakthrough, and division and encirclement.
From three directions: east, west and north, the Chinese army launched an all-out attack on Zhongtiao Mountain from multiple directions.
The Japanese army launched a sudden attack on Zhongtiao Mountain, which was beyond everyone's expectations and shocked everyone's jaws.
Especially Principal Chang didn't believe it at first. After the military commander verified the news, Principal Chang was so angry that he yelled, "Mother Xipi, the Japanese are all pigs!"
Zhongtiao Mountain is the forward base for the Chinese army to attack North China on the frontal battlefield. It is also the first choice place for the Chinese army to carry out guerrilla operations behind enemy lines. Its strategic location is extremely important.
Before that, Principal Chang had reached a certain tacit understanding with the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi, the Central Army would only enjoy the show and would never interfere.
Principal Chang put Chief Wei under house arrest for this reason. If Chief Wei was still commanding the First War Zone, he would most likely not sit idly by.
However, Principal Chang never expected that eating melon would affect him.
The Japanese army's offensive was very fierce, and the Central Army was completely unprepared. On the first day of the war, many troops fled, and the Japanese army felt like they were in an uninhabited country.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
The time came on May 9, 1941.
Taiyuan.
Although it was already late at night, the lights in the First Army headquarters were still bright.
"Report to Lieutenant Colonel!"
In the communications room of the First Army, a decoder handed a newly translated message to Toshimatsu Kasai.
Kasai Toshimatsu took it over and saw that it was actually from Kazuki Yamamoto.
Then, Kasai Toshimatsu quickly took the telegram and went straight to the operations hall.
Kusuyama Hideyoshi has already taken up his post in the 37th Division, and there are only a group of combat staff officers and Yoshio Shinozuka in the combat hall.
Successful reports from the front line came frequently. The Central Army was defeated and was completely defeated. The combat hall of the First Army was full of joy and laughter.
At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio was also a little high-spirited. Although he suffered a lot of losses from the Eighth Route Army, he finally regained his position with the China Central Army.
It seems that this general is going to retire honorably!
Kasai Toshimatsu walked quickly to Shinozuka Yoshio, lowered his head and said: "Report to the general, Colonel Yamamoto just sent a telegram, the headquarters of China's 3rd Army has been found."
Yoshio Shinozuka flashed his eyes: "Oh? Where is it?"
The job of reporting to Yoshio Shinozuka was originally supposed to be done by the Chief of Staff of the First Army, but now the First Army does not have a Chief of Staff.
Kasai Toshimatsu quickly took a wooden pole, pointed at the sand table and said: "The headquarters of the 3rd Army of the Central China Army is Tanghui Village, 30 kilometers southwest of Yuanqu County."
Yoshio Shinozuka looked towards the sand table.
More than an hour ago, part of the Japanese 41st Division broke through the Jiandihe position of the 7th Division of the 3rd Army of the Central China Army and attacked the headquarters of the 7th Division of Wangjiahe.
The 3rd Army of the Central China Army sent additional troops to the 7th Division and recaptured the Jiandihe position.
It seems that Yamamoto's special agent team took advantage of this opportunity to penetrate into the hinterland of the Central Army and found the headquarters of the Central Army's 3rd Army.
"Yoshi!" Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "order Yamamoto-kun to immediately lead a special team to launch a beheading operation against the headquarters of the 3rd China Army."
The 3rd Army is a relatively capable unit in the National Army, but its strategies and tactics are completely different from those of the Eighth Route Army.
The National Army likes to place its troops on the front line of defense. Often the Japanese army only needs to concentrate its forces to break through one point, and the entire National Army's position will collapse.
The national army that lost its command system collapsed even faster.
"Hi!" Kasai Toshiatsu lowered his head, put the telegram on the table, turned around and walked quickly to the communications room next door.
Later, Shinozuka Yoshio called intelligence staff officer Andeng Takeo.
The previous group of communications personnel and staff were taken to the 37th Division by Kusuyama Hideyoshi.
When no one was available, Yoshio Shinozuka activated his original trusted advisor.
Intelligence staff officer Takeo Andeng walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka and paused: "General, are you looking for me?"
Yoshio Shinozuka then asked: "Ando-kun, has there been any unusual movement in the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi in the past two days?"
"Report to the general."
An Teng Takeo replied: "There is no change in the Eighth Route Army. Our intelligence personnel are operating on the periphery of the Eighth Route Army. Reconnaissance planes go to conduct reconnaissance every day. If there is any change in the Eighth Route Army, the intelligence department will receive the news."
Operations staff officer Masataro Fukuda said: "Perhaps the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses in the last anti-mopping operation and has no energy left to cause trouble again."
All the combat staff and An Teng Takeo nodded, agreeing with this view.
However, Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Don't be careless about the Eighth Route Army. Order the reconnaissance planes to intensify reconnaissance!"
"Hi!"
Yoshio Shinozuka added: "In addition, order the intelligence personnel to contact Yan Xishan and inform him to send troops to take over the counties in southeastern Shanxi. Ask Mr. Kasai for the list of counties. The imperial army and imperial association army in each county will be transferred to Taiyuan to strengthen Defense of Taiyuan and its vicinity."
"Hi!"
An Teng Takeo paused, turned around and walked out.
…
South Shanxi.
30 kilometers southwest of Yuanqu County, Tanghui Village.
The heavily armed Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki led a special agent team hidden at a commanding height somewhere, staring at the 3rd Army headquarters ahead.
Although the security work of the 3rd Army Headquarters was pretty good, the sentry posts were very tightly arranged.
But in Yamamoto Kazuki's view, the defense of the 3rd Army Headquarters was like a sieve, with loopholes everywhere.
Today's special agent team has more than 70 people. Yoshio Shinozuka did not supplement him, so Yamamoto Kazuki selected more than 30 people from the Okawa advance team.
Although it is not as good as those carefully selected team members, it is still better than the special agent team with only more than 40 people.
Time passed slowly in boring waiting.
Goro Goro of Yamamoto's special agent team walked to Yamamoto Kazuki with the radio on his back and whispered: "Report to the colonel, General Shinozuka has just sent a telegram, ordering our unit to immediately launch a beheading operation against the 3rd China Army Headquarters, in cooperation with the 3rd China Army Headquarters. The 41st Division destroyed the 3rd China Army."
Yamamoto Kazuki felt very unhappy when he heard this. In the past, other troops cooperated with the special forces to launch beheading operations, but now the special forces have been reduced to cooperating with other troops to fight.
No matter how unhappy he was, the order still had to be carried out, not to mention that this was the performance opportunity that Yoshio Shinozuka had given him.
Yamamoto looked around with hawk-like eyes, then raised his wrist to look at the luminous watch, and then pressed forward with his right hand.
The more than 70 team members behind him immediately stood up, and more than 30 of them, holding submachine guns, moved towards the front of the village.
More than thirty other team members surrounded them from the other side, climbed up from the cliff behind the village with hooks and ropes, and blocked the retreat of the 3rd Army headquarters while simultaneously attacking from both sides.
