Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the First Army!

The time had come to half past eight in the evening, and if it were a normal day, Yoshio Suzuka would have returned to his residence, but today, the lights in the combat command post were still bright.

This morning, Kazuki Yamamoto sent a telegram saying that he would lead a special combat team to attack.

Yoshio Suzuka is waiting!

Of course, it's not that I'm worried about not being able to sleep well, but I'm waiting for good news and a good night's sleep.

As long as the independent regiment is successfully decapitated and recognized by the observation group, Yamamoto Kazuki's "grid iron wall strategy" will be implemented, and the battle in North China will likely end soon, and he will be promoted again to become one of the most famous generals in the empire.

This is an interlocking "chain", all of which are indispensable!

At 8:35, a communications officer looked flustered, ran quickly into the combat command post, saluted and said: "Commander, Yamamoto Osa Rushden." ”

Looking at the expression of the communications officer, Yoshio Suzuka's heart suddenly suddenly, and a bad feeling came inexplicably, and he slowly stood up and said, "Read! ”

The communications officer opened the telegram and read it in a depressed tone: "Regarding the review of Zhao Jiayu's special operations, inform General Suzuka and my colleagues in the First Army that I, as the commander of this special operations unit, will tell me my duties.

If this unit does not exist, then I have no reason to continue to survive, I have no choice but to apologize to the emperor with my death, there is no choice, General Suzuka, long live His Majesty the Emperor, Yamamoto Kazuki in November 1940 at the position in the Zhaojiayu Valley, the last telegram of the entire Yamato soul special combat team. ”

"Yamamoto-kun ......"

After listening to the telegram, Yoshio Suzuka's face turned pale, his mouth shook violently involuntarily, as if he was distracted, and muttered to himself: "The Eighth Route Army, an army composed of farmers, he is not an army at all, he is dressed in tatters like a flower child."

Their government did not even issue cotton uniforms, and they were worried about winter and most of their soldiers were still using inferior weapons from the end of World War I, and ammunition was extremely scarce, and most of the soldiers had only a few bullets.

It is such an army, not only dare to fight the imperial army, it is simply a joke, a big joke, but now ...... It's ridiculous that the most elite troops of the Japanese Empire were wiped out at their hands. ”

"Report!"

Just as Yoshio Suzuka was in the midst of grief, a communications officer ran in from the headquarters again, his face as white as paper, as if the sky had fallen.

"Read it!" Kazuki Yamamoto, who was immersed in grief, did not notice the demeanor of the communication soldier, and waved his hand weakly.

"Hey!" The communications officer forcibly formulated a fixed mind, "Long live the Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, the last message from Naotomi Hattori and all the officers of the observation group!" ”

This message may have been in a hurry, only one sentence, but after listening to this sentence, Yoshio Suzuka, as if his strength had been drained in an instant, sat down on the chair with a "snap".

"Poof~"

Stimulated by grief and anger, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yoshio Suzuka's mouth, staining the documents on the desk in front of him red.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a year passed and came to 1942.

Kazuki Yamamoto's special combat team was gone, Yoshio Suzuka was removed for dereliction of duty, and the grid iron wall strategy was stillborn, and earth-shaking changes also took place in the entire North China region.

Thanks to the victory of Li Jiapo's counter-raid trap battle, all kinds of commendation orders and materials flew like snowflakes, let's not talk about it for the time being.

After more than a year of development, the establishment of the independent regiment has changed from four battalions to 10 full-strength battalions, including the cavalry battalion, and there is also an artillery battalion.

Ten regiments with a full battalion are simply more terrifying than a division!

If it weren't for the fact that the Kuomintang did not issue a number, it is estimated that Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, would have been promoted to the rank of division commander Li a long time ago.

At the same time, Zhang Dabiao, who was originally in the second battalion, was promoted from battalion commander to chief of staff of the independent regiment because of the merits of the high-ranking officers of the all-annihilation army.

And the entire independent regiment has changed so much, as a special cavalry battalion with a special existence, it is naturally not pulled down.

The cavalry battalion, which originally consisted of only three companies and one cavalry artillery corps, swelled violently into four cavalry brigades with a total number of more than 1,000 people, each in charge of three "company-level" cavalry squadrons, each cavalry squadron with a total of eight combat groups, a 40-man cavalry artillery team, and more than 100 logistics personnel.

Monk Wei, Duan Peng, and Sun Desheng were promoted again at the same time and became the captains of the "battalion-level officers" of the cavalry brigade.

The three of them, together with Wang Chengzhu, who was exchanged for ten Type 92 heavy machine guns from Li Yunlong, formed the second-level command team of the special cavalry battalion.

And the original Guards Company was changed to the "Guards Brigade" by the criminal wind and became independent, and the change should be the most in the cavalry battalion!

Among them were the 40-man "Rapid Sniper Team", the submachine gun "Raid Team" of eight cavalry groups, the 40-man fire support "Mounted Artillery Team", and the headquarters of a 10-man Guards Brigade.

The combat support and logistics personnel combined have as many as 170 troops, and the firepower intensity is even more terrifying.

The actual total strength of the four cavalry brigades, plus the guards brigade and the special cavalry battalion, has reached nearly 1,400 people, which is a real "battalion-level regiment".

If the Independent Regiment is the "giant baby" in the 129th Division, then the special cavalry battalion led by Xing Feng is the most powerful "giant" in the independent regiment.

At the same time, in the development time of more than a year, as the cavalry battalion under the command of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it has grown everywhere, and today, it has become the most mysterious and powerful "trump card force" in the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.

In the Jin Province where the cavalry battalion operated, the special cavalry battalion took advantage of rapid mobility and strong firepower, took advantage of the mature special operations tactics of later generations, and adopted ghostly rapid blitzkrieg to repeatedly sneak attack the sweeping squad of the Japanese puppet army.

The Japanese puppet army did not dare to go out in small groups at all, and the Japanese puppet army that went out to carry out the clean-up in the countryside would hug their heads as long as they heard the sound of the horses' hooves, which became a "nightmare" in the hearts of all the little devil troops.

Perhaps it was because North China could not be held for a long time, and it was constantly attacked by various units of the Eighth Route Army, which led to heavy losses for the Japanese army in the entire region, which seriously affected the progress of the entire Chinese theater.

In addition, the Japanese army in the Pacific and South Seas theaters, the war situation is also not optimistic.

Under the superposition of various factors, the Japanese Army Military Department, which has unabated militarist ideas, has launched a large-scale military sweep against Jin Province, where the headquarters is located in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.
