A week later.

No. 557, Xinfa Road, Changchun.

Command of the Kwantung Army.

War Hall.

A staff officer walked in: "Your Excellency, Major General Kazuki Yamamoto, Chief of Staff of the First Army, has arrived."

"Let him in!"

Umezu Mijiro said in a deep voice.

"Hey."

The staff officer turned and left.

A moment later, Kazuki Yamamoto, dressed in military uniform, walked into the war hall of the Kwantung Army with a solemn face carrying a major general's sword.

"Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff of the First Army, Kazuki Yamamoto, reports to you!"

Kazuki Yamamoto walked up to Umezu Mijiro and saluted.

A group of Kwantung Army officers and staff officers, including General Umezu Mijiro, all looked at Yamamoto Kazuki curiously.

In their eyes, this Major General Yamamoto Kazuki is quite legendary.

Judging from Yamamoto Kazuki's resume, Yamamoto Kazuki's unit has been losing battles.

The First Army and the North China Front where Yamamoto stayed were almost completely annihilated, but Yamamoto Kazuki miraculously survived.

Within four years, Yamamoto Kazuki rose from a Nakasa to chief of staff of a group army.

In four years, it is nothing to be promoted from a lieutenant to a major general, after all, in wartime, as long as you can make military merits, you can easily get promoted.

But Yamamoto was promoted from a defeated general to the chief of staff of a major general, which has to be a little intriguing.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Umezu Mijiro looked at Yamamoto and nodded immediately:

"What is the current situation in Chengde?"

"Your Excellency, General." Yamamoto Kazuki said, "The current situation in Chengde is not optimistic, although the Eighth Route Army is currently in a state of rotational warfare, but the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, the First Army can only rely on the city wall and street battles to barely compete with the Eighth Route Army, and the logistics and supplies of our First Army are getting worse..."

Umezu Mijiro interrupted Yamamoto Kazuki's report: "These circumstances, the commander of your First Army, Lieutenant General Nakazawa, have already said in the telegram sent to the headquarters, say something I don't know."

"Hey."

Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes flashed: "Your Excellency, General, I judge that the Eighth Route Army will launch a large-scale attack on Chengde and Shanhaiguan in the near future!"

Umezu Mijiro's eyes narrowed: "Why?"

So, Yamamoto said what he said to Mitsuo Nakazawa at the headquarters of the First Army in Chengde, to Umezu Mijiro and the devil officers.

In the war hall, all the high-ranking officers couldn't help but glance at each other, and Yamamoto was actually the same as the staff predicted.

This shows that Yamamoto Kazuki, this kid, still has two brushes.

No wonder he was able to go from a general of a defeated army, not only was he not demoted, but he was also promoted to the post of chief of staff of a major general of the group army.

From the expressions of Umezu Mijiro and Yukio Kasawara and others, Yamamoto judged that the headquarters must have thought of this as well, which made Yamamoto very pleased.

The Kwantung Army Command looks a little more powerful than the North China Front Command.

"So, in the face of the offensive of the Eighth Route Army, what countermeasures does Yamamoto-kun have?"

Umezu Mijiro raised his eyebrows and looked at Kazuki Yamamoto.

He wanted to see if Kazuki Yamamoto had real talent and learning, or if he was vain and famous.

"Your Excellency, General."

Yamamoto Kazuki said in a deep voice: "At present, there are at least two to three months before the implementation of the No. 1 battle plan, and when the combat materials and troops have not been mobilized in place, I think it is not appropriate for our Kwantung Army to be tough with the Eighth Route Army at this time."

"I think we can abandon Chengde and distribute the First Army in this mountainous area north of Chengde, set up defensive positions in depth, and block the Eighth Route Army layer by layer."

"To prevent the Eighth Route Army from encircling Chengde and delay the Eighth Route Army's offensive."

"Also, in the direction of Shanhaiguan."

Kazuki Yamamoto's finger pointed to the Shanhaiguan on the map:

"Distribute the Fourth Army in the area from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou,

Set up defensive positions in depth to delay the offensive of the Eighth Route Army until the start of Operation Plan No. 1."

"Yamamoto-kun, Shanhaiguan and Chengde are very important to the Locust Army, but you want to give up these two important military sites, and make sure you are not a high-level spy sent by the Eighth Route Army?" However, as soon as Yamamoto's words came out, he immediately attracted the opposition of Yukio Kasawara.

He thought that Kazuki Yamamoto had some tricks, and that's it?

Give up Chengde and Shanhaiguan, I can go to it.

In the past, the special high school suspected that Yamamoto Kazuki was a spy, but after some investigation, nothing was found, so Yamamoto had a chance to be promoted.

Now Yukio Kasahara seriously suspects that Kazuki Yamamoto is a spy of the Eighth Route Army, and he can say that he can give up Chengde and Shanhaiguan, what is not a spy?

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." Kazuki Yamamoto's face darkened, "Please don't make such a joke casually."

It's okay for Shigetoku Kuroda to say I'm a spy, and you Yukio Kasahara also say I'm a spy.

If I really get labeled as a spy, I'm afraid my military career will come to an end.

"Kasahara-kun, be cautious in your words and deeds." Umezu Mijiro glanced at Yukio Kasawara expressionlessly, Yoshio Shinozuka, Okamura Ninji and Mitsuo Nakazawa are not fools, they trust Yamamoto Kazuki, which shows that Yamamoto Kazuki does have two brushes, and he is not a spy of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey." Yukio Kasahara paused stupidly.

"Chengde is an important military town of the Locust Army, and it must not be given up easily, and the First Army will continue to defend Chengde according to the original plan."

Umezu Mijiro pointed to the map and said in a deep voice:

"The Fourth Army immediately adjusted its defensive deployment and set up a defensive position in depth between Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou."

Umezu Mijiro was well aware of the disadvantages of the Japanese army and the advantages of the Eighth Route Army, and the First Army could fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army in Chengde to hold back the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Fourth Army at Shanhaiguan did not have the conditions to fight street battles, and if it wanted to delay the offensive rhythm of the Eighth Route Army, it could only adopt a defense in depth.

Yukio Kasawara: "Hi."

"Your Excellency, General."

Yamamoto Kazuki added, "We must remind the commander of the Fourth Army that in the face of the Eighth Route Army, especially Li Yunlong's troops, we must take more precautions, and we must not judge the enemy's situation with common sense."

……

Peiping.

Western Suburbs Airport.

On a starry night, the 2nd Squadron of the Sword Brigade was ordered to the east of Shanhaiguan to reconnoiter the area before the general offensive of the large forces began.

The main task is to find out the enemy's *** and the suitable position suitable for the beach-grabbing landing.

As well as the supply and correction of firing elements for artillery units at the time of the general offensive of the troops.

Because the road to Guanwai was blocked by devils and puppet soldiers.

The paratrooper battalion had another mission, so this reconnaissance mission was returned to the Sword Brigade.

After the regimental headquarters gave the order, this task was given to Wang Yousheng and his second squadron by Duan Peng.

The nature of this combat mission is to carry out reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines, and it does not require too many people.

Therefore, even if the Convenience Sword Brigade has grown to more than 400 people, it does not need the entire Sword Brigade to attack.

A group of people like Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng, and Li Changshun have been transferred to the posts of battalion commanders in the main forces and newly organized units.

And Wang Yousheng, Xiang Tiancheng, Liu Baolin and Ma Chengfeng, who performed well, were basically promoted to become squad leaders and squadron leaders of the Sword Brigade.

At this time, Duan Peng walked in front of more than 50 members of the second squadron, personally sorted out their clothes and checked their equipment.

Finally, Duan Peng walked up to Wang Yousheng and patted Wang Yousheng's strong chest and shoulders.

The current Wang Yousheng is thinner than Wang Yousheng in the original play, but his body is more sturdy, and his eyes are very shrewd and translucent.

Duan Peng instructed: "The task of your second squadron this time is very dangerous, you must pay attention to it completely, you must not fall into the encirclement of the devil and the puppet army, let alone face the devil and the puppet army, your task is mainly to reconnoitre, if you are surrounded

Don't panic, find a safe location to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, I ask the regiment commander to use Boss Chen's heavy helicopter to pick you up..."

Although the comrades of the second squadron are very strong in combat, the soldiers of the Devil A Division are all special-level shooters.

You can face enemies ten times your size.

But where the second squadron is going, there are hundreds, if not thousands, times the enemy.

If the second squadron falls into a situation where it is surrounded by dozens of times more enemies, it will probably be difficult for the gods to save.

"Captain, how did you mother-in-law today, this is not your style."

Wang Yousheng said with a smile, "We are not going to die, we just treat it as an ordinary reconnaissance mission, and we will complete the mission soon."

The members of the team all looked relaxed, as if they were not going to the center of the enemy to carry out reconnaissance missions, but to Shanhaiguan and Huludao for vacation.

"You kid!"

Duan Peng smiled dumbly and patted Wang Yousheng's shoulder.

Although the task of the second squadron was dangerous, the regimental headquarters was also prepared.

Once the second squadron is in a situation where it is surrounded by the enemy, in addition to attacking the front of the Eighth Route Army at Shanhaiguan, it will put pressure on the devils.

Li Yunlong will also apply to Boss Chen for a large helicopter to go to the rescue.

After all, all the members of the Sword Brigade are Li Yunlong's treasures.

At this moment, a co-pilot came over and said to Duan Peng, "Captain Duan, the plane is ready."

"Anyway, be safe."

Then Duan Peng looked at the fighters again:

"Everyone be smart, when this mission is completed, I will ask the regiment commander for credit."

"Salute!"

Wang Yousheng stood up and shouted loudly in his mouth at the same time, and immediately saluted Duan Peng, and more than 50 team members behind him also raised their hands to salute Duan Peng.

Duan Peng immediately raised his hand in return.

Wang Yousheng turned around and said loudly, "Board the plane!"

After that, Wang Yousheng and more than 50 team members boarded the strategic transport plane on the runway.

With the roar of its engines, the strategic transport plane first accelerated on the runway, and then climbed off the ground and upward.

The two escorted Hellcat fighters also quickly took off and chased in the direction of the strategic transport aircraft.

It didn't take long for the strategic transport plane and two fighters to disappear into the night sky.

……

Five days later.

Peiping.

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"Report to the head of the regiment, political commissar."

With a telegram in his hand, the communications staff officer walked into the regiment headquarters and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang:

"The second squadron of the Sword Brigade sent a telegram that they had completed the reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines, and the Japanese army has now adjusted some deployments."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong asked, "I remember that the second squadron leader of the Sword Brigade is Wang Yousheng's kid, right?"

"That's right!" Chief of Staff Wang Dehou nodded, and then asked, "What deployment has the devil adjusted?"

"The main force of the devil's Fourth Army, from the main force assembled at Shanhaiguan, has been changed to defense in depth."

The communications staff officer replied:

"At present, there is only one division and one brigade in Shanhaiguan, and the other two Japanese divisions and one brigade are distributed in Huludao and Jinzhou, and the specific *** is to deploy a brigade and two divisions in Jinzhou in Huludao."

Li Yunlong asked, "Do you have the number of the devil?"

The communications staff officer looked at the third telegram and replied: "In Shanhaiguan is the 119th Division and the 131st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, in Huludao is the 80th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, in Jinzhou is the 123rd Division and the 149th Division of the Japanese Army, and there are about 30,000 puppet troops to assist the devils in defending in depth."

"The second squadron is good." Chu Yunfei praised, "In just a few days, I have obtained such detailed information."

Although Chu Yunfei also

The Sword Brigade that learned from Li Yunlong set up a Tiger Brigade and asked Sun Ming to train himself.

But his Tiger Brigade was obviously not comparable to the Sword Brigade in terms of combat effectiveness or combat performance.

This time, Chu Yunfei also wanted to invite the masters of the Sword Brigade to the Independent Brigade to train his Tiger Brigade.

"Of course, to engage in intelligence and reconnaissance, our sword brigade is professional." Li Yunlong said proudly.

Most of the members of the Sword Brigade are fluent in Japanese.

As long as they are not discovered by the devils when they land, it will be much easier to carry out intelligence and reconnaissance in the future.

If you are discovered by the devil when you land, it will be very troublesome, and the devil will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it.

Judging from the fact that the second squadron has obtained such detailed information in such a short period of time, the second squadron has not yet been discovered by the devils.

"This information is timely." Wang Dehou said, "The information we got before is that the main force of the devil's Fourth Army is all in the deep area from Shanhaiguan to Huludao, and now the devil has obviously adjusted in the near future."

"That's it." Zhao Gang frowned and said, "If you want to completely annihilate the Fourth Army of the Devils, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"I don't think so!" Li Yunlong's face was as usual, "Since the devil has adjusted its strategic deployment, then our battle plan and emergency plan must also be adjusted."

"Lao Li." Zhao Gang thought for a moment and asked, "You mean to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "If we surround the 119th Division, the 131st Brigade and the 80th Brigade of the devils, will the 123rd and 149th Divisions in Jinzhou be saved or not?"

"If I were the commander of the Fourth Army, I wouldn't save it."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "Since the devils have already launched a defense in depth, they must be thinking of fighting together this one division and two brigades."

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed, and he thought slightly: "Don't say it, it's really true, it seems that the little devil has been guided by a master!"

"Since the devil is so armed." Chu Yunfei suddenly spoke, "Then we might as well have a bigger appetite, after taking Shanhaiguan and Huludao, we will capture Jinzhou in one go, and completely grasp the initiative on the battlefield!"

"Captured Jinzhou." Wang Dehou's eyes lit up, "Then we can form a situation of closing the door and beating the dogs against the devils of the Kwantung Army."

Li Yunlong looked at the map, and suddenly couldn't help but feel excited.
