Chapter 43: Yamamoto's Ambition

May 10, northwest of Shanxi, the core of the 358th regimental defense area, Chen Jiaji

The day after the Jin Sui army transported the artillery to Chenjiaji, Yamamoto Kazuki and his special team also followed, at this time, Yamamoto Kazuki in civilian clothes was hiding behind a mountain beam to observe Chen Jiaji's Jin Sui army arsenal, and less than a hundred meters to the left of Yamamoto Kazuki, it was a peripheral guard post of the Jin Sui army, but unfortunately, the sentry did not notice anything abnormal at all.

is different from the image of being fully armed in the TV series, the Yamamoto special team at this time is not only all civilian clothes, but also does not even bring self-defense weapons, except for a few grenades bought from the 358th Regiment soldiers, there are only scalpel blades sewn in the soles of everyone's shoes, it is obvious that they don't take Jin Suijun in their eyes at all.

"Qian Sang, didn't you say that there is only one platoon of defenders in this arsenal?" Yamamoto Kazuki put down the binoculars and asked in a low voice, and beside him, it was Qian Bojun who was also dressed in civilian clothes, in fact, Yamamoto Kazuki They were able to arrive here smoothly, it was completely the credit of Qian Bojun, no way, this guy is too familiar with the 358 regiment and the Jin Sui army, how to bypass the sentry, how to deceive the soldiers, how to buy officers, no one is more familiar than him.

"It should be a temporary reinforcement of defense, Yamamoto Taijun, you see, the barracks next to the arsenal are so big, there are not so many people stationed at all, there is no temporary camp nearby, they are temporarily transferred, the patrol route is not disciplined, and the sentry posts are set up very randomly, let me take a look again, this should be the guard platoon of the second battalion, fifty-three people, reinforced platoon, equipped with two Czech-style, thirty-eight Jinzao seventy-nine rifles, and a big eye box." Qian Bojun also raised the telescope and introduced it while observing it carefully.

"Qian Sang, what about the military dog?" Yamamoto Kazuki continued to ask Qian Bojun, compared to the more than fifty soldiers, he was more worried about the military dog, to be honest, he was very satisfied with Qian Bojun, although he was greedy for money and lustful, it was undeniable that this guy was a rare talent in the Imperial Army, the most important thing was that this guy had no way out, he could only follow the Imperial Army to the black, Yamamoto Kazuki even felt that this guy was more reliable than many Japanese.

"That dog is so old that even his teeth are starting to fall out and he doesn't pose any threat!" Qian Bojun said disdainfully, in his eyes, the old dog was just like Chief Yan, old and couldn't bite people.

"Yo Xi, Qian Sang, you drop a big drop." Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't help but give Qian Bojun a thumbs up, the traitor is good, the hardcore traitor is better, and the hardcore traitor with the ability is the best.

In the second half of the night, Yamamoto's special team attacked the arsenal of the 358th Regiment, and the fifty-three defenders stationed in the arsenal were all cleared without firing a single shot, some broke their necks, some cut the artery behind the ear, some stabbed their voices, and some were killed with their fists, 10VS53, the whole process was done in one go, without any accidents, silky as if a hot knife cut on butter, and five minutes later, the arsenal of the 358th Regiment exploded violently.

And in the fierce explosion that has not stopped, a Junkers 52 transport plane rushed into the sky, Yamamoto Kazuki once again completed a successful special operation, the only pity is that they did not achieve great results, the Jin Sui army has already transported most of the ammunition and heavy artillery, only two M358 1910 122 mm howitzers and 200 shells reinforced to the regiment, of course, and all the regiment's reserve ammunition, but in comparison, the losses are already small.

However, Yamamoto Kazuki's mentality is still very good, and he did not affect his mood because of this incident, he even drank a bottle of sake with the team members on the plane to celebrate, and then, he sent a telegram on the plane, commanding the special teams in other locations to carry out more active operations, and in one night, at least ten waves of Yamamoto special forces launched an attack on the army, and attacked decisively, pointing to the key points, and quickly retreating after succeeding, putting on a posture of resolutely destroying this batch of artillery, Frightened, Chief Yan had to disperse and hide this group of artillery and armored vehicles overnight.

Unfortunately, the counter-espionage capability of the Jin Sui Army was really not very good, and on the morning of the next day, a two-person team of the Yamamoto Special Forces guided the bombers to attack a secret arsenal of the Jin Sui Army, although it was not able to destroy the four M1910 122mm howitzers hidden there, but it also reimbursed the hundreds of shells hidden here by the Jin Sui Army, and caused a lot of casualties.

Such attacks occurred one after another in the following days, and the Yamamoto special team was like crazy, launching high-frequency small-scale operations against the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, ambushing convoys, blasting material storage sites, guiding aircraft bombing, using light artillery shelling, coercing key personnel to sabotage, and blowing up transportation hubs, which can be said to be full of tricks, until a five-person squad was surrounded and annihilated by the 771 Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

But even if it was temporarily stopped, it had already caused huge losses to the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army lost two M1910 122 mm howitzers, 500 shells, and the Jin Sui Army lost eight (two of which can be repaired), 1,800 shells. The Yamamoto team lost nineteen people, of which only eight were Japanese.

The newly appointed commander of the North China Dispatch Army, General Gangmura Ningji, personally went to Taiyuan to award medals to Major General Yamamoto Kazuki and meritorious soldiers, which made it lively and lively, and even changed the impact of the battle of Laojun Mountain for a while.

Under his operation, the traitors of Qian Bojun's department, that is, the second wing of the Yamamoto Brigade, actually joined the Japanese nationality en masse, and Qian Bojun became a serious Japanese army officer, and became a typical and benchmark for countless traitors who defected to Japan.

In response to Qian Bojun's lustful weakness, Yamamoto Kazuki also introduced him to a beautiful Japanese wife - Michiko Matsushima, in the face of young and beautiful, gentle and lovely exotic beauties, Qian Bojun agreed to marry the other party without even being reserved, as for whether Michiko Matsushima has a background as an agent and whether she has been a comfort woman, he didn't even think about it.

On the day of May 9th, the marriage was witnessed by General Gangcun Ningci, presided over by Yamamoto Kazuki, and the two completed a grand wedding in the auditorium of the Taiyuan First Army, wearing a straight Dazuo military uniform, carrying a beautiful bride, listening to the blessings and compliments of a group of Chinese and Japanese high-ranking officials, under the blurry neon light, Qian Bojun felt that his life had reached its peak.

The wedding was in full swing, General Gangmura Ningji had already left, leaving only the officials of the First Army and the puppet Jin Provincial Government still there to celebrate, Yamamoto Kazuki was also happy, found a corner, and drank wine, at this time Shinozuka Yoshio came over.

"Yamamoto-kun, why don't you go over and have a drink with the groom?"

"It's just a game, and the people who make the rules can't get too involved." Yamamoto Kazuki shook the red wine glass in his hand, and said with emotion, the inferior noodle country red wine does not taste good, but in Jin Province, this is also a very precious thing, war, is this war really glory and wealth to the empire?

"Yamamoto, you have to understand the painstaking efforts of General Okamura, the empire has only 80 million people, we can't rule the entire Asia and Pacific region, for the future, we must win over people like Qian Bojun." Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka said earnestly.

"Your Excellency, I am very much in favor of General Gangmura's approach, even if General Gangcun does not make a move, I plan to try my best to entrap this Qian Bojun, it is no exaggeration to say that this guy's military literacy is better than many imperial officers, I am worried about other things." Kazuki Yamamoto took a sip of red wine, and his mind seemed to be heavier.

"What are you worried about?" Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka asked curiously.

"Your Excellency, judging from the information revealed by the general, the expansion of the war in Europe is inevitable, and the empire will also be involved in this war, I think, is the empire really ready?" Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his voice and said with a straight color.

"Yamamoto, you have to put yourself in the right position, you and I are not those brainless young Zhuang factions, we are soldiers, we are soldiers of the emperor, we just need to carry out the order, and political matters are decided by His Majesty the Emperor." Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka solemnly warned the other party that many things cannot be expressed casually, not to say that Yamamoto Kazuki is just a major general, even those in higher positions, once they block the path of the empire and His Majesty, they will be kicked away without hesitation, a typical example is the guy Ishihara Waner, if he doesn't like to talk nonsense, he is probably an army general now.

"Your Excellency, whether it is against the north or across the ocean, we are still too weak, and you also said that we are not brainless young Zhuang factions, so you should know how big the gap in strength is." Seeing that there was no one left and right, Yamamoto Kazuki said again.

"That's why we need to help the empire grow stronger, empty talk is never as important as practical work, Yamamoto, you have to remember that the status of the empire today is something we have done little by little, not by politicians! At any time, you must have the determination to turn the situation around, and do your best to achieve it, give, this is left to you by General Gangmura! Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka handed a document to Kazuki Yamamoto.

"What is this?" Yamamoto Kazuki was confused.

"General Gangcun gave you support, General Gangcun helped you get enough Soviet-style weapons from Wuhan to equip 10,000 people, and 21 T26 tanks, 17 75mm field guns, 9 Il-15 fighters, 3 Il-16 fighters, 2 TB=3 bombers, this is already the maximum ability of the general." Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka said with a smile that General Okamura was obviously as aware of Yamamoto's value as he was.

"This, it's really-" Yamamoto Kazuki swallowed, he really didn't know what to say, originally he was still a little dissatisfied with General Gangmura interrupting his combat rhythm, but now, he was really moved, although it was a captured weapon, but these were obviously more valuable than the same amount of Japanese equipment.

"And this, it's also for you, it's a gift from me, but it's not as generous as Your Excellency Gangmura, I got it from the Kwantung Army, 20 Renault tanks, 10 of your favorite Fengzai 150 mortars, 2,000 mortar shells, and 8 Liao F1 fighters, 6 "Liao H1" medium bombers, as for light weapons, you can choose from the captured materials of the First Army. "Although what he said is not as good as Okamura Ningji, in fact, this gift from Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka is really not light.

"Your Excellency, can you help me solve the problem of technical arms, otherwise, these weapons will become decorations." Although he felt that he was excessive, Kazuki Yamamoto still stubbornly said.

"I'll help you find a way, in addition, there are two hundred graduates of the 'Extreme East Military Academy' in Tianjin, and General Gangcun hopes that you can recruit some White Russians to form a fourth wing of no less than two thousand people, is there a problem?" Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka said that the "Far Eastern Military Academy" in his mouth was a Belarusian aristocratic military academy in exile supported by Japanese intelligence agencies, and all the students were staunch anti-northern powers.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is no problem at all!" Yamamoto Kazuki was a little excited, and it was clear that he was more interested in the vast northern land than in the poor ravines of Jin Province.
