"Kazuki Yamamoto's secret service team is finished?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan frowned and asked Taro Saijo, the communications staff officer who was reporting.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

Taro Saijo, a communications staff officer, hurriedly stood up and said, "It's the radio wave signal from the radio station carried by Yamamoto's special team. ”。

"In addition, Your Excellency Commander, after hearing the report of the signal soldier as soon as possible, he immediately asked the signal soldier to send a report to the Yamamoto special team for inquiry, but he could no longer be contacted."

Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, and his face was gloomy.

For Yamamoto Kazuki's secret team, in fact, Shinozuka Yoshinan has great expectations.

The reason why he strongly agreed with Yamamoto Kazuki's theory of special operations at the beginning was because Yamamoto Kazuki persuaded him to be able to solve some military commands of various departments of the Eighth Route Army at a small cost, and to form a strong cooperation for the various units of the Imperial Army to attack and suppress the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past, Yamamoto Kazuki personally commanded the special forces to carry out raids behind enemy lines against the Eighth Route Army, which were actually very effective.

Therefore, Shinozuka Yoshinan will still support Yamamoto Kazuki's special team even when the next few times when the Yamamoto special team began to operate unsmoothly, and it is for this reason.

But now, the special forces commanded by Yamamoto Kazuki have all fallen into the hands of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

"Yaga! The abominable Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. ”

In the end, Shinozuka Yinan could only curse viciously.

"Your Excellency, there is no way to do it."

At this time, Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the headquarters on the side, also said helplessly: "Who knew that Yamamoto Kazuki would be so careless and fall into the ambush of the troops of the Independent Regiment." ”。

"Hey, it's just a pity that Yamamoto Kazuki's special team is indeed able to effectively deal with the command organs of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines!"

Shinozuka Yinan just said with a little pity, of course, he was also shocked that the Yamamoto special team was finally eaten by the independent group.

It's just that now, no amount of cursing of the Independent Regiment will help.

"That's right!!"

The Yamamoto Kazuki Secret Service Team is over, but Shinozuka Yoshinan now attaches great importance to the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and it is even more important at several levels!

After Shinozuka Yoshinan finished the Yamamoto secret team, he immediately asked Michiichi Miyano with a serious face: "How is the current situation of Nakamura Zhenxiong?" ”。

"Ten minutes ago, Nakamura Zhenxiong sent a report that they had re-attacked Qingzhou City and surrounded Qingzhou City."

Miyano Michichi said in a condensed voice: "It's just that after the failure of the first night raid in the early morning and night, but the loss of more than 2,000 elite imperial troops, now there are only more than 6,700 people left in the imperial army under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong. ”。

"Because the walls of Qingzhou City are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Nakamura Zhenxiong still plans to feint on three sides, and focus on the east gate of Qingzhou City."

After a pause, Michiichi Miyano continued, "Nakamura Zhenxiong's plan is to concentrate 3,000 troops to attack the east gate, and break through the east gate under the bombing and strafing of 20 Type 96 land attack planes of the 3rd Flying Squadron of the Air Force under the jurisdiction of our First Army, which is about to arrive."

"Then send a report to Nakamura Zhenxiong, I hope he can take Qingzhou City within two hours, and then attack from Qingzhou City to Ping'an County!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and said in a condensed voice.

"Understood, Your Excellency Commander!!"

Miyano nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to signal Taro Saijo, a communications staff officer who was still standing aside, and said, "According to the commander's words, send a report to Nakamura Zhenxiong!" ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

Taro Saijo immediately paused heavily, then turned around and returned to the communication room, ordering the devil communication soldiers under his command to call Nakamura Zhenxiong immediately.

A few minutes later, outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, less than 150 meters away from the east gate, on the back of a hillside, in a military tent, Nakamura Zhenxiong was waiting for the fighters of the Third Air Force to arrive.

"Division commander, call from headquarters!"

Nakamura Zhenxiong's chief of staff, Kita Taijiro, walked quickly to Nakamura Zhenxiong's side, handed the telegram in his hand to Nakamura Zhenxiong, and said: "The commander has sent a telegram ordering us that after the second attack on Qingzhou City, we must take Qingzhou City within two hours. ”。

"Got it! Let the signal soldier call back to the headquarters, and say that he is humble and guarantees to complete the task! ”

Nakamura waved his hand and said.

"Yes, division commander."

Kido Taijiro nodded, and then waved his hand to ask the devil messenger who was following him to immediately call back and send a telegram.

After looking at the map at the military tent headquarters for two minutes, Nakamura Zhenxiong and Chief of Staff Kita Taijiro, under the protection of several devil soldiers, walked to the hillside in front of the military tent, and with the help of the cover of a few trees on the hillside, they held binoculars to observe the situation at the east gate of Qingzhou City and the positions of the defenders outside the city.

I saw that in the sight of Nakamura Zhenxiong's telescope, the east gate of Qingzhou City, the positions guarded by the three battalions and one company of the independent regiment outside the city, and the city fortifications were all very quiet.

The quiet atmosphere of the coming war is very solemn!

"It is worthy of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and it is really elite!"

Nakamura Zhenxiong also had to mumble to himself.

The chief of staff on the side, Kita Taijiro, had good ears, and he also heard it, and then said in a low voice: "Division commander, if the defenders of the independent regiment in Qingzhou City defend the city, I am afraid that the other party will all retreat into the street battle in the city, and it will be troublesome." ”。

"Therefore, I ordered the troops of the other three gates to feint, and the feint will not be strong when the time comes. As long as the defenders of the city withdraw from the city, then the time will be to concentrate the main infantry and artillery fire for a joint attack. ”

Nakamura Zhenxiong nodded, and then continued: "Otherwise, the street battle in the city will greatly consume our living strength. ”。

"It's just that we can't expect the opponent to withdraw from the city, we can only attack fiercely after breaking the city, and we will be afraid of the enemy defending force of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the city as soon as possible."

Kido Taijiro said heavily: "What the division commander said is true. ”。

"It's ten o'clock now, and I order the howitzer squad and the two artillery squadrons belonging to the 9th Brigade to concentrate artillery fire on me and start a fierce shelling of the enemy's position at the east gate, and after five or six minutes of shelling, the 20 fighters of the 3rd Flying Squadron of the aviation unit under the jurisdiction of our First Army should also fly over the east gate of Qingzhou."

Nakamura raised his right hand, looked at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, and then ordered Kita Taijiro.

"Understood, division commander!!"

Kita Taijiro nodded, then turned and walked down the hill.

Soon, the leader of the devil howitzer squad, Kishida Kazuro, who received the order from Zheno Nakamura to shell, immediately concentrated two 105 howitzers and began shelling.

Also assisting in the shelling were the artillery of two devil artillery squadrons of the 9th Brigade Regiment.

"Boom, boom!!"

In an instant, the devil's artillery fire began to strike fiercely at the east gate of Qingzhou City at ten o'clock in the morning.

Six minutes after the shelling, with the roar of planes coming from the sky, 20 Devil 96 land attack planes swooped down towards the east gate of Qingzhou City.
