The two infantry regiments were not full, and the 7th regiment only had two infantry brigades, and the 32nd regiment had only one infantry brigade (Note 1).

In addition, there are artillery and transport teams.

Others like cavalry, engineers and hospitals did not come.

With the addition of a brigade and regiment department, there are nearly 4000 people in the two wing departments.

A combat force of 4000 people is more than enough to protect itself even if it goes deep into the hinterland of the Taihang base of the Eighth Route Army, but it is not enough to launch an attack.

For this point, as the head of the brigade, Yamashita Yuyu has a clear understanding.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Yamashita Koyuki called Chief of Staff Yoshioka Kunihiko over.

"Mr. Yoshioka, how is the repair of the fortifications at Huting stronghold?" Although the Eighth Route Army may not concentrate the main force to besiege their 9th Brigade, Yuyuki Yamashita is still very cautious.

There is a saying in the art of war, if you don't think about victory, you think about defeat first, so you can fight a hundred battles without imperil.

Fortunately, Yamashita admired Sun Tzu's Art of War very much, and he also practiced it in actual combat.

Yoshioka Kunihiko said in a deep voice: "Brigade Commander, the fortifications at the Huting stronghold have been severely damaged, and it may be difficult to restore it to the original level in a short period of time, but fortunately the main frame of the stronghold is still there, and it still has certain defensive functions. , so even if the Eighth Route Army mobilizes the main force to come, we can do our best to deal with it.”

"Yo Xi." Fortunately, Yamashita nodded happily, "That's good."

After a pause, Yamashita fortunately said again: "Also, the headquarters just sent another telegram asking us to ensure the safety of the field observation team. Yoshioka-kun, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

"It's difficult." Yoshioka Kunihiko said, "I'm afraid Hattori will not let us arrange it."

"That's right." Yamashita Koyuki said deeply, "This guy has been spoiled by His Excellency Tada Hayao, and he can't even listen to the persuasion of His Excellency the Commander, let alone us?"

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to confine them to the Huting stronghold."

Yoshioka Kunihiko frowned and said: "They will definitely make a request and go deep into the bandit area."

"In this case, we can only send troops to protect it." Yamashita Koyuki said with a frown, "Yamazaki's brigade is not far away, and one infantry brigade is definitely not enough. At least two brigades must be sent, plus an artillery squadron."

"I'm afraid not." Yoshioka Kunihiko shook his head and said, "Brigade Commander, have you forgotten? Yamamoto-kun's order to our 9th Brigade is to stand still and never move forward!"

"Because if we move here, Chenjiayu's side will definitely be affected."

"Maybe the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army can guess Yamamoto-kun's true intentions. In this case, the entire battle plan will fall short."

"Then it's going to be difficult."

Fortunately, Yamashita said: "Your Excellency, Commander, asked us to protect the battlefield observation group, but the battlefield motorcycle group will definitely go forward, and then Yamamoto-kun wants us to stay in the Huting stronghold and not act rashly. Who do we listen to? We Should we push forward? Or should we just stay at the Huting stronghold?"

Yoshioka Kunihiko said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid I still have to listen to Yamamoto-kun."

After a pause, Kunihiko Yoshioka said again: "Because before sending out troops, Your Excellency the Commander once said that this battle must be under the full command of Mr. Yamamoto, and even Your Excellency the Commander himself must obey his orders!"

"Okay." Fortunately, Yamashita said helplessly, "Just listen to Yamamoto-kun."

"However, we can still do what we can."

Yoshioka Kunihiko added: "In order not to disturb the Eighth Route Army, the main force of the brigade cannot go forward, but it is still possible to send an infantry squadron into the bandit area in the name of reconnaissance, and carry out armed reconnaissance on both sides of the road."

"With the reconnaissance squadron, if the Eighth Route Army really has an ambush, it will be able to detect it in advance."

"Then, the battlefield observation group will be able to get an early warning, so they won't go any further."

"Yoxi!" Yamashita Xingyu said happily, "Then, how many kilometers should the reconnaissance squadron go forward?"

Yoshioka Kunihiko pondered for a moment and said: "The distance to the front is too short, and those guys in the observation group will definitely not be satisfied, but if the distance to the front is too long, it is easy to be taken by the Eighth Route Army."

"So, it's better to travel ten to fifteen kilometers before."

"It makes sense, then go forward fifteen kilometers."

……

Bellows Ridge.

It was already evening when the independent group arrived at Fengxiang Ridge.

In front of Wang Ye, although Li Yunlong had all kinds of doubts, but when he finally arrived at Fengxiang Ridge, he did not insist on following Wang Ye's suggestion.

Li Yunlong did not let the troops lie in ambush on the ridges on both sides of the canyon as he did when he ambushed the Heidao unit last time. Instead, he retreated more than 500 meters and ambushed on the two rows of hills on both sides.

Although these two rows of hills are far away from the road, they also have the advantage of having a wider view.

Li Yunlong was standing on the top of the mountain at this time. From his position, he could not only see Fengxiang Ridge clearly, but also the box-shaped narrow valley below Fengxiang Ridge.

Pointing to the box-shaped valley, Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chu, have you seen that box-shaped valley?"

"I see." Chu Yunfei put down the binoculars and said, "The terrain here is extremely dangerous. If you enter this narrow valley unprepared and are ambushed, you will be in trouble."

Li Yunlong laughed, and said, "Brother Chu has good eyesight."

"During the Lantern Festival, our regiment launched an ambush here."

"More than 1300 people in a cavalry regiment of the Devils were wiped out by me."

Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Yunlong, are you talking about the Black Island United Team?"

"That's right, it's the Black Island United Team." Li Yunlong said proudly, "More than 1000 horses were seized just for the big animals, which made our brigade commander, division commander and boss very happy."

"Brother Yunlong is really a lucky general." Chu Yunfei chuckled, thinking that in such a dangerous place, at least I, Chu Yunfei, would never lead my troops into such a terrain. This only shows that the Black Island Alliance The commander is a stupid pig, Li Yunlong is really lucky to run into such a stupid pig.

Li Yunlong gave Chu Yunfei a sideways glance.

Fortune?It means I'm lucky?

However, Li Yunlong did not explain that it was night.

Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Yunlong, please forgive Chu's blunt words."

"Since the devil has already suffered a big loss here, I'm afraid there is no possibility of another loss here. Brother Yunlong chose this place as an ambush position again, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Brother Chu." Li Yunlong smiled, "Haven't you heard a word?"

"One word?" Chu Yunfei asked, "I don't know what it is?"

"Remember eating but not beating." Li Yunlong said, "Little Devil is such a virtue."

"Do you remember to eat or fight?" Chu Yunfei frowned, as far as he knew, the little devil really didn't have this kind of virtue, the fact was just the opposite, the devil's ability to learn and improve was very strong.

While the two were talking, the sky had gradually darkened.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao turned back from the front and whispered: "Head, the devil is here!"

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei hastily raised their binoculars to look forward, and they saw a side three-wheeled motorcycle approaching, with a handle on the side bucket of the motorcycle, driving forward and facing both sides strafing.

Although the ambush position of the Independent Regiment was more than a kilometer away from the road at this time, this distance had already exceeded the effective range of the Type [-] light machine gun, stray bullets still hit the ambush position, but fortunately no casualties were caused.

However, what Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei never expected was that the three-wheeled motorcycle stopped driving after reaching the exit of Fengxiang Ridge, and actually stopped.

A moment later, another group of devil infantry drove over.

This time there was a full squad of devil infantry, and after entering the Fengxiang Ridge, they stopped going forward, but climbed up the mountain with bayonets in hand, and began to search inch by inch.

"How dangerous!" Li Yunlong said in a low voice.

"Fortunately, I set up the ambush position 1000 meters away."

"Otherwise, the little devil will find out right now."

"Brother Yunfei, the behavior of these devils is a bit strange."

Chu Yunfei said: "Look, they won't leave after searching."

When Li Yunlong looked intently again, he found that the group of devils, after searching the hillsides on both sides of Fengxiang Ridge, not only did not intend to leave, but instead distanced themselves and stuck on the mountain like javelins.

"This posture?" Chu Yunfei said in surprise, "Are you standing guard?"

"Stand guard? What do you mean?" Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words.

Chu Yunfei was puzzled and said: "It's strange, is there a big person coming?"

Li Yunlong hurriedly turned off the safety of the shell gun, and then turned his head to tell Zhang Dabiao who was beside him: "Da Biao, send an order that everyone turn off the safety, and no one is allowed to move without my order."

"Even if it's shit, I'll fucking pull it in my crotch."

Zhang Dabiao hurried to convey the order, and the soldiers turned off the insurance one by one.

Li Yunlong's gaze returned to Fengxiang Ridge, and it became brighter than ever.

Xiao Wang's mother is really a genius, so accurate!

……

Wang Ye suddenly felt his nose itchy and had a strong urge to sneeze.

However, Wang Ye still suppressed it. As a special soldier, overcoming various physical discomforts is just a routine operation, and he can endure even more difficult challenges.

At this time, the Wolf Warriors team has all entered a latent state.

Wang Ye's lurking position is neither on the cliff nor in the woods under the cliff, but at a lower position, where there is a raised hill.

From his lurking position, the top of the cliff can be seen very clearly.

I saw Chenjiayu's militiamen standing like javelins on the top of the cliff.

It was really Chenjiayu's militiamen, all of them carried firecrackers or something, and there were very few old sleeves, and some simply carried shuttle marks or red cherry guns.

More than a hundred militiamen, one every 50 meters, almost covered the entire cliff.

Not only that, as the sky gradually darkened, a bonfire was lit on the cliff, and the faint red flames drew the figures of the militiamen standing on the edge of the cliff to the elders.

Wang Ye tightened the [-] cap in his hand, and said in his heart:

Kazuki Yamamoto, this is your burial place!

……

Taiyuan, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

However, the 86 members of Yamamoto's special team are always on high alert and ready to attack at any time.

Kazuki Yamamoto also stayed with his team members, and in front of him was a high-power walkie-talkie. High-power walkie-talkies are expensive, and their penetration rate in the Japanese army is extremely low.

However, in order to complete this special operations performance, Okamura Ningji specially transferred four walkie-talkies.

Of the four walkie-talkies, one was given to the Yamamoto Secret Service, one was given to the field observation team, one was given to the 9th Brigade, and the last one was left at the 1st Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.

These four walkie-talkies form a communication channel.

At this time, the communications staff of the 1st Army Headquarters, the communications staff of the 9th Brigade and Regiment Headquarters, and the communications staff of the Field Observation Group are conducting intensive communication on the communication channel.

But in fact, it's all irrelevant information.

Only the walkie-talkie of the Yamamoto Special Team remained silent.

Because Kazuki Yamamoto had ordered radio silence.

Before the battle was over, Kazuki Yamamoto was not prepared to have any contact with other units, and he was especially unwilling to have a dialogue with those idiots of the field observation group.

However, this does not prevent the voice from other walkie-talkies being heard.

Listening to the purposeless calls and conversations of several communications staff there, Kazuki Yamamoto's face was not very good.

"These idiots." Kazuki Yamamoto scolded with a black face, "I will never understand the importance of radio silence, and I have to talk about the most serious things on the radio."

As soon as the voice fell, the communication staff officer Sakata Shinichi suddenly said: "Captain, Your Excellency Commander wants to talk to you."

Kazuki Yamamoto stood up immediately, strode to the walkie-talkie and took the receiver and receiver from Shinichi Sakata: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am Yamamoto."

"Yamamoto-kun, you can go."

Shinozuka Yoshio's soft voice came from the receiver.

"Hai!" Kazuki Yamamoto paused, handed the receiver back to Shinichi Sakata, and immediately turned around and shouted, "We have all the secret service teams, get in the car!"

The 86 special forces members stood up at once.

In just a moment, they boarded three trucks respectively.

Vice-captain Fujii Hiroki looked at the sky, frowned and said, "Captain, it's time to set off, and it's almost dawn when we reach the target area."

"We've always only operated at night."

"Why did you choose to fight during the day uncharacteristically this time?"

Kazuki Yamamoto looked at Hiroki Fujii coldly, without saying a word.

In front of Shinozuka Yoshio, Kazuki Yamamoto can have no scruples, but in front of his subordinates, Kazuki Yamamoto will never say a word of nonsense, and he will never complain to his subordinates that it is the group of the battlefield observation group The idiot made them act during the day, and he wouldn't say it was a show, not a real fight.

"Hai!" Fujii Hiroki paused slightly, not daring to say more.

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "Fujii-kun, hurry up and get some sleep."
