"The fourth battalion has arrived in Mengjiazhuang, south of Li County, yesterday and assisted the local county brigade in establishing a stable station."

"However, the main force of the fourth battalion was discovered by the little devils, and the devils knew that we were the main force."

"It's a guerrilla zone over there, after all."

"The devil penetrates deeply, and it is difficult to hide it completely."

Yang Village.

Zhang Dabiao, chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, reported to Li Yunlong the latest battle report of Li County.

"It's fine."

"Let the devil find out in the plan."

Li Yunlong's tone was calm.

This time his purpose was the wing flag of the devil Nishida United, and the others were covered for this purpose.

Unless the little devil can guess his purpose and know that Brother Lu can locate the location of the Devil's Banner anytime and anywhere, the more vigilant the devil is, the higher the probability that he will succeed in the Devil's Flag.

The devils go out to attack, enter the base area to sweep, and the flag team will follow the action.

But in pursuit, they will definitely not carry the flag protection squad, but stay at the station.

That's his chance.

"Order the Fourth Battalion to start attacking the devils."

"Be ruthless!"

Li Yunlong emphasized:

"Let the devil know that it's not just the troops of the 38th Route Brigade who are coming, but also our independent regiment!"

Since the annihilation of the Shandao Wing, the 386th Brigade has become famous, and the devils around the Taiyue base have strengthened their defenses, especially Wuxiang County, because of its proximity to the station of the Independent Regiment, more than 1,700 devils have been stationed.

If you count the devils stationed in the strongholds around Wuxiang County, the total number is more than two thousand.

For a county, the scale is unprecedented.

The Devil convoy never even operates below the size of a squadron.

It is enough to see that after being beaten several times, the devil's rampant carelessness has finally changed a little.

"Yes!"

After Zhang Dabiao stood up and saluted, he immediately began to carry out the order.

···

When Zhang Dabiao left, the first battalion of the 772nd Regiment and the brigade transportation team also began to assemble at the brigade headquarters, led by Cheng Shifa himself.

This time, the 772nd regiment carried out a transport mission.

Inside the brigade headquarters.

Looking at the entire 500,000 oceans stacked in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters,

"I didn't expect that one day, we would also worry about transporting funds."

The brigade commander couldn't help but sigh.

500,000 silver dollars.

The total weight is fifteen tons, including the packaging.

This weight of materials is nothing for the Taiyue Military Region, and any transport team can transport it to any county seat, major villages and towns, and there is almost no need to worry about any danger.

The transportation network plan with Yangcun as the center and the main regiments as nodes has already brought tangible results, and in the widened section of the road after the widening of the mountain horse road, under good weather, the transportation team of the Taiyue base area, equipped with new mules and horses, can maintain a minimum transportation of 50 kilometers per day.

Up to almost seventy kilometers per day.

With some militia units joining the road construction team, the scale of the road construction team in the Taiyue base area has now reached 15,000 people, and the widening and leveling of the mountain road is extending at a rate of 6 kilometers per day.

It has connected almost every major village and county town on the eastern side of the Taiyue Mountains.

But this batch of silver dollars needs to be transported to the side of Wutai Mountain, that is, the base of the 115th Division.

Not only is the distance long, it is estimated to take half a month, and it is also necessary to cross the Zhengtai Line blocked by the devil's heavy troops, which is a very dangerous and arduous transportation task.

Therefore, the brigade headquarters dispatched a brigade transport team equipped with new mules and horses to transport it, and also asked the 772nd Regiment to be responsible for escorting the whole process, and contacting the surrounding base areas to assist in the whole process.

Otherwise, it would not have been only 500,000 silver dollars.

As for the 500,000 silver dollars that were also transported to the base areas in southern Hebei, it was much simpler.

After the conquest of Liao County, the Taiyue Base Area and the Taihang Base Area were connected to the highway throughout the whole process, and the transport team could go directly to them, and the southern Hebei base area and the Taihang Base Area were also connected by mountain horse roads.

Although it was a rugged mountain road, transporting fifteen tons of silver dollars was not a problem.

The most troublesome thing was actually the 50,000 silver dollars that were transported to Beiping.

This is a transportation distance far farther than going to Wutai Mountain, and it is the most severe test of the underground transportation line.

Fortunately, the weight of the 50,000 silver dollars is only 1.5 tons, and the headquarters is responsible for transportation, taking the route of the southern Hebei base area, and then covertly transporting it through the Pinghan Line, which has nothing to do with the 386th Brigade.

"Let's go."

"Remember."

Before leaving, the brigade commander said to Cheng Shifa:

"People are more important than money, and the safety of transport teams and troops is guaranteed at critical times."

Three million silver dollars per month have already arrived.

and

According to the information from Taiyuan, the new chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the First Army of the devils have also taken office.

The three million silver dollars that walked were again in place.

It is expected that the troops will not be short of funds in the future, and if they are not enough, they will kill a few devils and the chief of staff of the First Army, and there is no need to lose precious soldiers because of only 500,000 silver dollars.

"Yes!"

Cheng Shifa stood up and saluted.

···

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

"Really not the chief of staff?"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto and asked with a smile.

For Yamamoto, who has good military ability and handles wooden interpersonal relationships, Yoshio Shinozuka regards him as an absolute confidant, and the chief of staff who is vacated this time, Yoshio Shinozuka's first thought is Yamamoto.

But contrary to Yoshio Shinozuka's expectations, Yamamoto refused.

"General."

"The head of the intelligence section of the First Army and my special operations are more compatible."

Kazuki Yamamoto replied:

"I must find out the source and transportation channel of the materials on the Dirt Eight Road, and then destroy him."

"This is a more worthy target than the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."

The current situation made Yamamoto realize one thing.

As long as he finds the source of materials and transportation channels of the Dirt Eight Road, and dispatches a special team to cut off the transportation channels, he can gain the real right to speak, so as to promote special tactics.

And being the chief of staff of the First Army, although more powerful, will not help to promote the special operation and will only consume his time.

"Okay."

"Then you'll continue to be in charge."

Finding the source of materials and transportation channels for the Eighth Route Army is also a very critical task, and Yoshio Shinozuka no longer forces Yamamoto:

"If you can find the source of weapons, ammunition and materials for the Eighth Route Army before the North China Front Army Intelligence Section, you will be able to look forward to it."

With the Yamashima Wing being wiped out.

The materials that appeared in the Taiyue Mountains not only attracted the attention of the North China Front, but even the base camp began to pay attention, and for this reason, the North China Front Army set up a special investigation team to investigate the matter.

The person in charge is Naoto Matsuzaki, head of the section of the Northern Appraisal Agency.

"Hey."

Yamamoto's eyes lit up.

If he can be promoted to general and his voice is enhanced, coupled with the support of General Shinozuka and the support of Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the North China Front, then the promotion of special operations will certainly be much smoother.

···

"Strange."

"How the hell did you get in?"

Northern Review.

The Special Service Section directly under the jurisdiction of the North China Front,

Section Chief Naoto Matsuzaki looked at the information in front of him and frowned deeply.

Since March, Tuba Road in the Taiyue Mountains of SX Province in North China has received a large number of imported weapons, ammunition and supplies, resulting in serious problems in local law and order.

The Imperial army was repeatedly attacked and suffered heavy losses.

Even, there was a serious problem of the annihilation of a wing.

Recently, these weapons, ammunition and materials have also begun to proliferate, and these imported weapons, ammunition and materials have appeared in most parts of North China, including the southern Hebei region.

It seriously affected the security of the empire in North China.

For this reason, Commander Tada ordered him to be in charge of the investigation, and asked the special high school and other espionage and intelligence agencies to assist.

But when Naoto Matsuzaki gathered all the information, he found that the entire North China Front of the empire had not been able to have any clues about the source of these materials after three months of intelligence collection.

Not even the slightest.

It's as if these materials appeared in the Taiyue Mountains out of thin air.

Focus on the investigation of the North.

The first object of suspicion was the enemy in the north.

However, after a detailed investigation and diplomatic communication, the troops stationed in Mongolia have ruled out this suspicion, and the north seems to be investigating the source of these supplies.

"How is that possible?"

Naoto Matsuzaki was puzzled.

From the imported flour that is widely used in Yangquan, Taiyuan, and Pingshi, it can be concluded that in these three months, the amount of materials obtained by Tuba Road in the Taiyue Mountains definitely exceeded 50,000 tons.

Least!

50,000 tons!

Even in the Empire, transportation by rail requires more than 800 trains and a month's time.

And the mysterious forces that provided supplies for the Dirt Eight Road did it without attracting any attention from the Empire, and the investigation after the incident did not find any clues.

Unless it's by air.

But the empire did not find any traces of planes flying in these three months, and there were no airfields suitable for planes to land in the Taiyue mountains.

And 50,000 tons of air transport in three months, or to the mountainous area,

There is simply not that country in the world that has such a powerful air force.

Such a thing beyond theory and imagination made Naoto Matsuzaki unable to understand it.

"Stored in advance in a warehouse in the Taiyue Mountains?"

"But these materials are very new, obviously produced recently, and the probability is very low."

"Underground transport passages?"

"How long does it take to avoid the Empire's sight?"

"How wide is it to transport more than 50,000 tons of materials in a few months?"

"At present, it seems that it is almost impossible to investigate the source of these materials in a short period of time, and it can only be known by sending troops into the Taiyue Mountains for detailed investigation."

After a bucket of analysis and decision, Naoto Matsuzaki still couldn't investigate the source, but he, who had served in Tegaoke, knew that intelligence investigation could not be drilled, so he decisively changed his thinking:

"The source of materials and transportation channels will be put aside."

"Wait for the army to attack the Taiyue Mountains and then investigate."

"The first task at the moment is to block the spread of supplies from the Taiyue Mountains."

"The transportation channels for materials coming out of the Taiyue Mountains are much clearer."

At this point, the irritability and doubts in Naoka Matsuzaki's hearts gradually dissipated.

No matter who the person who provides weapons, ammunition and materials to the Tuba Road is, they must not be the opponent of the Empire, or they dare not confront the Empire head-on, otherwise they will not provide supplies so secretly.

Just clowns!

Since it's a clown, there's no need to worry.
