Check in from the bright sword

"Division Commander!" Yamamoto Ryoichi rushed into the office excitedly and reported to Inoue Zhenwei, "According to the information provided by the insider, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is gathering around Xiaolizhuang.

"Has the independent group started to gather?" Inoue Sadae's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, the assembly has already begun." Ryoichi Yamamoto nodded heavily, looking excited.

"Go, go to the war room!" Inoue Sadae patted Ryoichi Yamamoto on the shoulder heavily, and the two came to the war room hand in hand.

Since there is no major combat mission now, there is no one in the war room, only a combat staff officer named Higashi Fujio is doing war games.

"Higashi Fuji-kun, what are you doing?" Yamamoto Ryoichi asked.

"Hai." Higashi Fujio paused and said, "Division commander, chief of staff, I'm conducting a war game."

"Wargame deduction?" Inoue Sadae asked strangely, "Can you actually conduct wargame deduction by yourself?"

"Hai." Higashi Fujio paused again, and said with downcast eyebrows, "Because I was really bored in the dormitory, so I came to the war room, and played war games with my left and right hands."

"Haha, you're really a militant." Inoue Sadae laughed, "Now you don't need to play games with your left and right hands. Immediately call all the staff officers above the second lieutenant in the division headquarters."

Higashi Fujio immediately lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and said, "Division commander, is there going to be a combat operation?"

"Mr. Higashifuji, hurry up and summon the staff." Ryoichi Yamamoto said, "Our 69th Division is about to launch an unprecedented offensive operation. If it is planned properly, it is very likely that the anti-Japanese armed forces in Northwest Shanxi will be wiped out in one fell swoop! As a result, The security situation in Northwest Shanxi has been completely improved."

"Hai!" Higashi Fujio nodded heavily, and went excitedly.

The eyes of Inoue Sadae and Yamamoto Ryoichi fell on the sand table.

"Little Lizhuang?" Inoue Zhenwei moved his eyes on the sand table and asked, "Yamamoto-kun, where is Xiaolizhuang?"

Ryoichi Yamamoto searched the sand table for a long time, but he couldn't find Xiao Li Zhuang until the end, so he said helplessly, "Master, Xiao Li Zhuang is not on the sand table."

"Baga, tear it down and redo it." Inoue Sadao pushed the sand table away angrily.

Then, Inoue Sadae and Yamamoto Ryoichi came to the map posted on the wall.

This map is the overall map of Northwest Shanxi. All counties and large towns are included, but some remote small villages are not marked.

Fortunately, Xiaolizhuang is still a big village.

So Ryoichi Yamamoto quickly found Xiao Lizhuang on the map.

"Division commander, here." Ryoichi Yamamoto pointed to the map and said, "Xiao Lizhuang is here."

Zhenwei Inoue picked up a square ruler and measured the distance from Xiaolizhuang to Heyuan County, and said, "It's less than ten kilometers from Xiaolizhuang to Heyuan County!"

"If you say that the large-scale assembly of the independent group has nothing to do with Heyuan County, who would believe it?"

"Hayi." Ryoichi Yamamoto said with a pause, "The sudden gathering of the independent group must be for Heyuan County."

"This is also human nature. The area around Heyuan County has always been the activity area of ​​the Independence Regiment, especially in the several ambushes in Shuanghe Town. The Independence Regiment has repeatedly severely damaged the Imperial Army's 1st Mobile Column!"

"In the latest ambush, even the Matsushima Squadron and Sato Squadron suffered annihilation!"

"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army spent so much effort to pull out the gun towers outside Heyuan County. Seeing that it can launch an attack on Heyuan County, I never thought that Heyuan County became the Jinsui Army overnight. Site!"

"No matter who encounters this kind of thing, I'm afraid they will be very angry, let alone Li Yunlong, who refuses to suffer?"

"So, if there are no accidents, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will definitely fight each other!"

"Yoxi!" Inoue Zhenwei nodded happily, and said again, "Yamamoto-kun, if the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army really go to war, who do you think will have a better chance of winning?"

"Division Commander, this is really difficult to judge." Yamamoto Ryoichi said, "The main reason is that we don't know how many people there are in the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Not high, and the confidential information that can be accessed is very limited, so I can only make a rough judgment."

"Judging from the current situation, the strength of the independent regiment should be between 7000 and 10000! It will not exceed 12000 at most!"

"If you count their local armed forces, the total number should be around 18000."

"18000 people?" Inoue Zhenwei said, "In this case, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army may not be the opponent of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

"It stands to reason that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can't beat the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army." Ryo Yamamoto nodded, and then said, "The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is only an infantry regiment in name, but in fact its strength has already increased." It’s no less than a division, and it’s still a half-beautiful mechanic, at least half of the troops have already changed to American mechanic equipment.”

"The combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is not only the best among the Jinsui Army, but it is even worse than the so-called Central Army. Its equipment has no chance of winning."

"On paper?" Inoue Sadae said, "Yamamoto-kun, you seem to have something to say?"

"Hayi, Division Commander Mingjian." Yamamoto Ryo paused and said, "If it were another Eighth Route Army unit, it would be very difficult to turn around in such a situation, but if it is Li Yunlong, everything is still unknown!"

"Because Li Yunlong is the best at fighting dangerous moves, and he can often fight his way out of desperation!"

"The battle of Cangyunling was like this, the battle of Kuitouling was like this, the battle of Lijiapo was like this, last year's anti-sweeping operation and the subsequent battle of Taiyuan were still like this."

"So Li Yunlong must not be judged by common sense!"

"And more importantly, Li Yunlong has a King of Hades under his command!"

"Yan Wang?" Inoue Zhenwei's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard the words, "The man who defeated Kazuki Yamamoto?"

"Yes." Ryo Yamamoto said, "Yan Wang has a small army with extremely strong combat effectiveness. According to the information obtained by insiders, this small army is called the Spike Squad. Although there are less than ten people in it, its combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying. ! Under certain conditions, its destructive power is no less than that of a cavalry regiment!"

"Baga!" Inoue Zhenwei said, "A cavalry regiment?"

"So, the outcome of this battle is unpredictable." Ryoichi Yamamoto shook his head.

Chapter 454

Little Li Zhuang.

When Zhang Dabiao hurried to Xiaoli Village with the 4th Battalion, he found that the 2nd Battalion Commander Shen Quan had arrived early.

"Old Zhang!"

"Old Shen!"

"Miss me!"

After nearly half a year's absence, the enemies who used to fight on the training ground back then became so affectionate that they almost hugged each other and chewed each other.

"Old Zhang, is this your army?"

"This is not my army, can it be your army?"

"Damn it, when I saw it just now, I thought it was the main force of the regiment. Looking at this posture, your 4th Battalion must have thousands of people now, right?"

"Ashamed, ashamed, that is 16 companies."

"What did you say? You're making trouble with 16 companies?"

Zhang Dabiao smiled reservedly, and said: "This does not include the mortar company, infantry company, guard company, and two heavy machine gun companies. All combat personnel add up to about 3000 people."
