Chapter 49: The Savior (Part II)

After listening to the detailed explanation of the bell, Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin stared at the map for a long time and nodded thoughtfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After a long while, Jiang Shan raised his head, frowned and asked, "I have one last question." If we develop near Gaocheng, will it attract the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army? Can we have room to survive and develop? ā€

"I don't think it's a big problem." Liang Jianbin frowned and said: "We also know the terrain near Gaocheng, although the highway is nearby, but the surrounding mountains are relatively large. Moreover, the people of the surrounding villages were all poor families, who benefited greatly from the agrarian revolution in those years, and their ideological consciousness was relatively high, and the mass foundation was relatively good. ā€

Zhong Sheng then added: "And there is another important reason why I chose this place. The land in the North China Plain is fertile, and it is easy to grow crops or something, so if our falcon team wants to survive and develop, at least we must have food to fill our stomachs, right? You look at Gaocheng Village, to the east, it is blocked by the mountains, the devils in Shen County want to come and sweep, the highway is the only way, as long as we block the choke point with a small number of troops, we can fully guarantee safety. Tell me, where can we find this unique terrain advantage? ā€

Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin glanced at each other, and at the same time made up their minds, the first official base of the Falcon Special Operations Team was Gaocheng Village!

When they were busy settling down here, the intelligence department of the Second Army of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion army was not idle. Hideo Kumamoto's carefully completed analysis report was now on Kawama's desk, and the spy leader of the Second Army was sinister at the moment.

"Kumamoto-kun, your work has been fruitful and good. Your Excellency, Commander, is very pleased with your recent work. With this information, I think the military department will quickly work out a perfect combat plan. Now it seems that although this Falcon Squad is a little special, it is just like a chicken and a dog in the face of the powerful deterrent power of the Imperial Army. China's weak national strength is simply not able to support such a costly special operation. Kumamoto-kun, you have worked hard, for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, for the victory of the holy war, and for the glory of the emperor, please continue to work hard! ā€

The praise of the top boss made Hideo Kumamoto a little flattered. He changed the trembling quail appearance of a few days ago, raised his head and chest, and said loudly with full of anger: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for the compliment." Kumamoto still has a lot to do better! For the sake of the Holy War, for the sake of the Empire, and for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, even if his subordinates are broken, they will not hesitate! ā€

For the mental outlook of his subordinates, Kawama Dazuo is still very satisfied. Young officers must have this kind of enterprising spirit! All day long like those old men above, they have to be afraid to do everything, and the final result must be that the opportunity to slip away from hand in vain, and finally end up with nothing. He got up from behind his desk, walked over to the large battle map hanging on the wall, and looked at it carefully for a while before frowning and saying, "I don't doubt Kumamoto-kun's confidence and ability. If the empire wants to be strong, and His Majesty the Emperor's martial might wants to shine on the whole of Asia, it is necessary for you young people to continue to work hard and forge ahead. Now, your analysis report has attracted the attention of General Nishio Shouzo, and the military department has also decided to nip this Falcon special operations team in the bud in the shortest possible time. To this end, the Military Department has instructed the Intelligence Division to fully cooperate and continue to provide a large amount of accurate and valuable information to cooperate with the troops. Kumamoto-kun, don't be proud, the work behind is still very arduous! ā€

Hideo Kumamoto hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Osa, your subordinates will continue to work hard and live up to the trust of Your Excellency Dasaku and Your Excellency the General!" ā€

Kawama waved his hand casually and said, "Well, I'll continue to pay attention to your work." Okay, let's study it again, what else do you think of this Falcon special operations team? What should we do in our next battle? ā€

Hearing his boss ask this, Hideo Kumamoto, who had been prepared, smiled confidently, walked to the map, pointed to a few of the points, and said categorically: "The subordinates think that if they want to completely strangle the Falcon team, they must cut off the connection between them and the rear!" Judging from the battlefield situation in the early stage, they now have a lot of problems with supplies, weapons and ammunition. The backward logistics system of the Chinese army is simply unable to provide them with effective support. As long as we build a perfect blockade line on the front line of Shen County, Gaocheng, Luoyangpo, Balijing and Gaobeidian, we can completely cut off their supply line! Then, send out a search force to carry out a dragnet sweep in this area, and it will be easy to find and completely destroy the Falcon Squad! ā€

A gleam flashed in Kawama Daisa's eyes, and then he smiled slightly: "Yuxi, Kumamoto-kun's plan has great implementability. However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we should not take it lightly. None of them require the full cooperation of our Intelligence Division, so I would like to ask Kumamoto-kun to follow the combat units directly. In this way, if there is any unexpected situation, it is better to make a decision on the spot, so as not to delay the fighter. Kumamoto-kun, this is a great time to win the battle, if it weren't for my age, I really don't want to give you this opportunity. ā€

Kawama Daisa's words were affectionate and a little sour, as if he was really happy that Hideo Kumamoto's bright future had arrived, and he felt sorry for the low-hanging fruit that slipped away from his hand in vain. Actually, only he knows what he thinks. Because of this information from the Falcon Squad, the Second Army Command has begun to pay attention to Hideo Kumamoto's work. Kawama Osa understands very well that he is getting older and older, and many things are already a little inadequate. This young man named Hideo Kumamoto is likely to be the successor of his position. The Japanese army has always had a tradition of "going down to the top," and it would not be surprising if it was to be replaced one day. What he has to do now is to do his best to make this day come later.

Kumamoto's report gave him hope that this possibility would become a reality. Judging from his experience in the army for so many years, this Falcon special operations squad of the Shina people is probably not so easy to deal with, otherwise it would not have survived comfortably behind enemy lines in the encirclement of more than 100,000 Japanese troops for a year, and there is a faint trend of development and growth. Kumamoto's report, a clear contempt for the opponent. And on the battlefield, the consequence of despising the opponent is often one's own demise.

He is now sending Hideo Kumamoto to the front-line combat unit, ostensibly to win a good opportunity for the other side to achieve combat achievements, but in fact, he is directly exposing himself, a young opponent, to the guns of the Falcon Special Operations Squad. The falcon's combat style has always been to leave no prisoners, presumably with Kumamoto's current mentality, it is certain that he will be greedy for merit, and at that time, once he falls into the trap of the Shina people, I am afraid that no one will be able to save him.

Now, Kawama Daisa's mentality is a bit complicated, on the one hand, he is afraid that the Falcon Special Operations Team will flourish and create a strong opponent for himself, on the other hand, he needs to treat this opponent as a knife in his hand, if this knife is not sharp enough, then it will not be a fatal blow to Hideo Kumamoto at all, then, it is no different from a broken copper and iron. What he wants now is to strike a delicate balance between the two.
