It was Kazuki Yamamoto's deputy on the secret service team, Jiro Takeha, who spoke.

"I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Yamamoto Kazuki's sixth sense became stronger and stronger, and he just said uneasily.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, now Qingzhou City has been closed and defended. The independent regiment that had already captured the county town of Ping'an showed no signs of moving south, and it was estimated that it was resting. ”

Jiro Takeba comforted: "Although Li Yunlong ate the two reinforced infantry brigades of the Imperial Army's Sakata Wing and Ito Wing in a few bites, his own casualties will definitely not be less. ”。

"At this time, Li Yunlong will definitely command the main force of his independent regiment to seize the time to rest and recuperate in Ping'an County and other places."

After a pause, Jiro Takeba continued, "Even if Li Yunlong wants to go south, it is impossible in time. ”

"Qingzhou City is twenty-five kilometers away from Ping'an County. Your Excellency, the rapid march of the large army will take at least two and a half hours. What's more, our special forces have already sent elite lurkers in several key places ten kilometers north of Qingzhou City and twenty kilometers away from Ping'an County, and once a force goes south, it is impossible not to be discovered by the elite of our special forces. ”

Kazuki Yamamoto waved his hand and said, "You're right, Takeba-san." ”。

"But Li Yunlong should not be underestimated, the raid on Zhaojiayu failed, and we lost half of the elite of the special team, which is enough to show that Li Yunlong is very cunning."

At this time, the captain of an infantry brigade under the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Qingzhou City on the side, Toshio Ritani Shaozo, interjected: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I think you haven't slept enough lately, and you're a little sad?" ”。

"Perhaps!"

Yamamoto Kazuki always felt that there was also this possibility, after all, he led his troops to retreat from Zhaojiayu all the way to Qingzhou City, and he was also a little tired.

What's more, the elite team that lost half of the elite is being selected from among the reconnaissance elites of the various units under the command of the Japanese First Army under the arrangement of Shinozuka Yoshinan.

During this time, Kazuki Yamamoto's mood was also depressed and bad.

"By the way, Ligu-kun, how is the city defense of Qingzhou City?"

Yamamoto Kazuki thought about it, why worry about Li Yunlong going south.

If the main army of Li Yunlong's independent regiment went south, it would be impossible to run away. For the real realization of the special forces combat theory, Yamamoto Kazuki will not defend Qingzhou City when the main force of the independent regiment really goes south to attack Qingzhou City.

Just like half of the time in Ping'an County, before the follow-up army of the Independent Regiment completely surrounded Ping'an County, Yamamoto Kazuki and his special team left without saying goodbye and ran away from Ping'an County.

When Rigu Shounan heard this, he said with a serious expression: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Dazuo, Qingzhou City was originally a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also a moat outside the city, and now the county seat of Ping'an has been captured by the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”。

"After learning this news, there is also the order of His Excellency Dazuo, which has strengthened various fortifications in Qingzhou City, and ordered the Imperial Association Army to build several fortifications on the periphery of the moat. Not to mention that it is impregnable, it is not a problem to block the siege of 20,000 troops to hold Qingzhou City for a month. ”

Yamamoto Kazuki nodded and said, "Yo Xi, I've worked hard for Ri Tani-kun." ”。

"As long as Qingzhou City is held, the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army will all go north and assemble in the northwest of Jin in two or three days. When the time comes, launch a counteroffensive against the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and your brigade will also be rewarded by the commander. I promise! ”

Of course, Yamamoto Kazuki knew that the command of the devil troops in Qingzhou City was temporarily taken away by him, and Iriya Toshio must be dissatisfied in his heart.

Therefore, in this way, it is estimated that Rigu Shounan will listen to the heavens, and there will be less complaints in his heart.

Sure enough, Iriya Toshio didn't expect the arrogant Yamamoto Kazuki to say this.

You must know that once his name is remembered in Shinozuka Yoshinan's heart, he will definitely have an unlimited future in the future.

"For the sake of the empire, for the sake of Your Majesty, this is what you should do."

Yo, hearing Yamamoto Kazuki say this, Riya Toshio suddenly directly called Yamamoto Kazuki with his humble position.

"Rigu-kun is worthy of being an officer of the empire, and after you do your duty and annihilate the independent regiment, I will recommend you to the commander."

Kazuki Yamamoto smiled and said.

"Thank you for your !! promotion."

Riya Shou Nan stood up excitedly and paused heavily.

"Hmm!!"

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded, and then motioned for Toshio Riya to go out and inspect the fortifications of the castle.

After Riya Toshio left, the deputy on the side, Takeha Jiro, spoke up: "Your Excellency, you really want to recommend this guy to the commander!" ”。

"I just accepted the command of the imperial army in Qingzhou City, but this guy is full of reluctance."

Kazuki Yamamoto waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is reasonable that someone suddenly took away the command of the troops, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to change it." ”。

"By the way, how is the Secret Service recovering now?"

Jiro Takeba said, "I've recovered well, Your Excellency Osa." ”。

"Except for the two special forces that were sent to the north of Qingzhou City to monitor the cordon in the direction of Ping'an County, ten kilometers and twenty kilometers away, the rest of the special forces are all in the city."

After a pause, Jiro Takeba said: "It will not be a problem for the commander to select the elites who meet the requirements for the members of our special team from the reconnaissance units under the jurisdiction of the First Army to arrive in Qingzhou City, and completely restore the number before our special team. ”。

"Yo Xi!!"

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded and said, "That's good!" ”。

"But I always feel that Li Yunlong did not withdraw from Ping'an County with the capture, but instead divided his troops to control Ping'an County, Heyuan County, Wudi City, and Liujia Town, and several other places, obviously not leaving."

Takeba Jiro can also be regarded as Yamamoto Kazuki's right-hand man, and directly looked at the map of northwest Jin placed on the table of the brigade headquarters in front of the two, looked at the map and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, Qingzhou City may be Li Yunlong's next target?" ”。

"What I just said happened, I guess that's it."

Yamamoto Kazuki said with a solemn look in his eyes: "If I were Li Yunlong, I wouldn't sit idly by and ignore Qingzhou City." ”。

"After all, although Qingzhou City is far away from Ping'an County, the traffic conditions between the two cities are still better. Under the speed of rapid marching, the fastest two hours and a half hours can reach Qingzhou City. ”

"You say, will Li Yunlong look at Qingzhou City and ignore it?"

Takeba Jiro shook his head and said: "If it is Li Yunlong, if you want to control Ping'an County for a long time, Qingzhou City in the southwest must be taken. ”。

"Be responsible, it's better to move all the seized materials and withdraw them to the Great Lonely Mountain."

Yamamoto Kazuki bowed his head and said, "Yes, so the current strength of Qingzhou City is not enough to block the attack of so many troops of the Independent Regiment!" ”。

"Then ask the commander for reinforcements?"

Jiro Takeba said tentatively.

"The 9th Brigade is already assembling, and Qingzhou City is one of the destinations for the assembly! Therefore, we need to hold Qingzhou City for at least two days. ”

Kazuki Yamamoto said.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, two days is enough."

Jiro Takeba said confidently.

"Hmm!!"

Yamamoto Kazuki is confident that he will hold Qingzhou City for two days, and it is best if the main force of Li Yunlong's independent regiment does not go south to attack Qingzhou City within these two days.

"It's just, will Li Yunlong give me these two days?"

Kazuki Yamamoto muttered in his heart.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was muttered by Yamamoto Kazuki, was bypassing the main road leading to Qingzhou City in Ping'an County, and chose to go straight to another road that did not appear on the map, and soon at 2:09 in the morning, nearly 4,500 soldiers of the Independent Regiment killed in the dense forest in the north of Qingzhou City and hid themselves.

Duan Peng, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the Independent Regiment, who had already set off for the south in advance, would soon report on the battle situation with Li Yunlong and others.
