NOVEL NEXT Chapter 148
Cunning.
Despicable.
Hateful.
The entire Japanese headquarters was extremely angry at this time, and everyone's face was filled with unspeakable hatred.
No one expected.
The truth was so absurd.
In the past two or three months, they have been fooled around. That damn armed force has always misled them, making them think that it was the 358th Regiment that launched the attack.
"Baka!"
Shinozuka Yoshio was angry again and again.
Even a calm man like him was still roaring at this time.
As the commander stationed in Shanxi, he was definitely a high-ranking official, and his status and position were by no means comparable to ordinary people. But he didn't expect that he would be fooled so badly by this damn armed force. Thinking of the reports he had submitted to the Army General Staff several times before, he now felt his face burning with pain.
Let's not talk about him.
Chief of Staff Nanshan Hideyoshi was also extremely ashamed.
As the chief of staff of the army, his duties were clearer than those of the other party, and he was undoubtedly more responsible for the mistake.
If it was an ordinary intelligence error, it would be fine, but the two sides had been fighting for several months and they had not even figured out who the other side was. This was extremely outrageous in itself, and it made him, the chief of staff, particularly incompetent.
"General!"
Nanshan Hideyoshi had to bite the bullet and pass the intelligence over, saying: "This enemy is indeed extremely cunning. His previous actions were deliberately confusing, and his purpose was obviously to divert our revenge. Now the most important thing is to find out where this unit came from."
"That's right!"
Shinozuka Yoshio took a deep breath and his expression gradually calmed down.
He glanced at it quickly.
He frowned again soon and said: "Bandit armed forces? How is this possible?!"
The expressions of everyone present also changed slightly.
Bandits?
It was only bandit armed forces that caused such heavy casualties to the empire before?
Everyone found it unbelievable.
"General!"
Nanshan Hideyoshi also said in confusion: "According to the information from the Special High Section, they found that the other side is indeed a bandit armed force, named Anti-Japanese Group, and does not belong to any force. Many of the previous sneak attacks on our empire were also done by them. As for where their weapons and equipment came from, there is no clue at present."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head instantly, and said with doubt on his face: "The fierce firepower of the other side is rare among the armed forces of China, and the previous intelligence showed that the other side was equipped with all-American Garand semi-automatic rifles. Even the enemy's Central Army has never obtained such weapons and equipment, so how could a mere bandit have it?!"
"Could it be the troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army?"
"No!"
Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head again.
At this time, he was particularly sober and said coldly: "Even the Shanxi Suiyuan Army could not have such weapons and equipment, and he had previously joined forces with the Eighth Route Army many times, which is abnormal in itself."
"What about the Eighth Route Army?"
"It's even more impossible!"
Shinozuka Yoshio's face froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally firmly rejected it: "If the Eighth Route Army had such equipment, we would have been driven out of Shanxi Province long ago!"
The whole audience was silent again.
Things seemed to have returned to the starting point.
How did such a strong and extremely well-equipped army emerge?
"Who is their chief officer?"
"It's not shown in the newspaper."
"Then let the Special High Section check it out!"
Shinozuka Yoshio snorted coldly, and his tone became serious and particularly anxious.
"Hai!"
The staff officer next to him immediately took the order and left.
"General!"
Nanshan Hideyoshi said in a deep voice: "Do you think this armed force is supported by the Chinese government?"
"The government?"
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression instantly sank.
Although he quickly rejected this idea in his subconscious mind, thinking that the occurrence of this incident itself was extremely outrageous, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. He hesitated for a moment and finally said slowly: "If there is no possibility for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, then this unit is from the Chinese government. The only possibility is!"
As for independent development?
How is this possible!
Can a mere bandit develop under the premise that their side occupies Shanxi Province?
Isn't this a fantasy?
Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "This matter must be investigated! If this group really came from the Chinese government, then their transportation supply lines must be dug out. But no matter what, now that we have figured out who the real culprit is, things will be simple. Pass on my order, let the Seventh Brigade rest quickly immediately, and after figuring out the situation, we must wipe out this group!"
"Hai Yi!"
Everyone quickly accepted the order.
...
Heiyun Village.
Li Yunlong and othersSoon they left.
Lu Zhixian also understood that Lao Li and others came here with good intentions. After all, the Japanese brigade was definitely not targeting the Eighth Route Army.
The other party was also worried about his safety.
"Captain!"
At this time, Chen Feng's eyes were still a little worried: "Recently, many sneaky people have appeared around Qingfengzhai, the forward base. According to my humble estimation, they are either from the Japanese or from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, etc. I believe that the Japanese will definitely know our existence in a few days. From the previous battle, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese brigade is stronger than we expected. We have to guard against this!"
"Yeah."
Lu Zhixian nodded.
In the past two days, he has been constantly thinking about the changes in the situation and considering the various possibilities if the Japanese brigade attacks.
Thinking of this.
He no longer hesitated and immediately shouted: "Monk, go and call Lei Zhan for me."
"Yes, Captain!"
Wei Dayong quickly took the order and left.
Not long after.
Lei Zhan rushed over in a dusty manner.
The special operations team has been very busy recently.
After severely damaging the two special operations teams of the Japanese, they seized a lot of special operations equipment, and the entire team is also expanding rapidly. Now the total number of people has reached 80.
So.
Lei Zhan naturally gave all kinds of high-intensity training to the new members.
"Report!"
Lei Zhan immediately saluted.
After Lu Zhixian returned the salute, he quickly said: "Lei Zhan, can your special operations team go out on a mission now?"
"Report to the commander!"
Lei Zhan was full of confidence and said firmly: "After this period of intensive training, my special operations team has completed basic training, and the new members have basically met the conventional combat requirements of special operations team members. If combined with the coordinated operations of the original team, it can meet most of the special operations tasks!"
"Very good!"
Lu Zhixian nodded and said: "I will give you a task now. This task is extremely important. Your special operations team must complete it anyway." He briefly explained the matter.
After hearing the entire operation goal, Lei Zhan was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.
"Do you have confidence?"
"I guarantee to complete the mission!"
"Okay!"
Lu Zhixian was very satisfied with the other party's attitude and said: "If your special operations team can complete this mission, it will be a great achievement. Go and prepare now, and set off directly tonight!"
"Yes, commander!"
Lei Zhan took the order without hesitation.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in a hurry.
He said anxiously: "Commander! I just received a call from Deputy Commander Zhou, saying that the Jinsui Army Command has sent someone to come."
