Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

While Yu Ye was planning to hold his breath and concentrate on completing the processing of the eight gun barrels, in Taiyuan City, Yamamoto Ikki was reporting his work to Shinozuka Yoshio.

"Yamamoto-kun, according to you, the secret agents you planted inside the Independent Regiment have been eliminated this time?"

Yoshio Shinozuka leaned back in his seat, rubbing his belly with his hand, his tone serious.

"Yes, General."

Yamamoto Ikki answered while half-bending his body.

Obviously, Yamamoto Ikki was extremely upset that the hidden chess piece he had buried was discovered.

"General, not only was this hidden chess piece discovered by the Independent Regiment, but the Chinese people I arranged to meet them were also discovered. The Independent Regiment used this as a breakthrough point and directly captured everyone on this line.

This makes our already difficult intelligence job even more difficult.”

Yamamoto Ikki lowered his head, and a rare look of dejection appeared on his face.

"Mr. Yamamoto, by now we should have realized what a formidable opponent we are facing." Yoshio Shinozuka seriously discussed this issue with Ikki Yamamoto.

"Yes, General."

"Mr. Yamamoto, this team is different from the Chinese troops we have encountered before. At present, they should not be counted as part of the official sequence of the government army, but their organization is far stronger than that of the government army.

In the past, even if the Chinese troops we encountered resisted, they would just charge forward bravely and would most likely collapse on the spot or collapse instantly after being defeated by us.

However, this team's strong organizational ability and the spirit of sacrifice to achieve strategic goals are, to some extent, even stronger than the locust army."

Shinozuka Yoshio sat up straight and said seriously.

"General, in addition to the factors you mentioned, we should also note that in the past six months or so, the combat effectiveness of this guerrilla force or non-governmental army, which we originally did not take seriously, has increased unprecedentedly.

In particular, the equipment level of this army has been greatly improved.

In terms of firepower density, it is even stronger than our imperial army.

Also, some of the weapons used by this team are fairly new.

I have specifically consulted our military experts and found out that there are many technologies and design concepts that we cannot achieve on our own.

But it is incredible that it appeared in such an army."

Yamamoto Ikki raised his head and his eyes gradually became sharper.

"That's true. I have carefully studied the records of all the battles between the Independent Regiment and our army over the past six months. I can confirm that since the explosion of the Zhengtai Line special train, or since the Xiaowangzhuang artillery tower was bombed by the Independent Regiment with a homemade cannon, the Independent Regiment's firepower has increased dramatically."

Yoshio Shinozuka obviously also did very in-depth research on the Independent Group.

From another perspective, the loss of six or seven thousand Japanese soldiers, two flying squadrons, and a special train was a matter of concern to him, the head of the Japanese expeditionary force in Jin.

"General, during this process of laying the hidden pieces, I also got some important information from the prisoner of the Independent Regiment. I think it can be used to corroborate the information you mentioned."

"Oh?"

"The soldier we captured, Zhu Ziming, was in charge of the independent regiment's defense, which meant he often came into contact with some of the independent regiment's core members.

According to him, before the first half of the year, even though the independent regiment's combat effectiveness was relatively strong, it only remained at a relatively strong level of organization.

It was not until the young college student named Yu Ye showed up that the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment suddenly increased. "

Yamamoto described in detail the information he obtained from Zhu Ziming.

"Yu Ye?"

"Yes, General."

“General, according to Zhu Ziming, Yu Ye is a top student in the Department of Physics at Southwest Associated University and is proficient in the manufacture of various weapons.

Moreover, their military high-ranking officials also attach great importance to the industry.

Under the appointment of their headquarters, the Liaoyuan Arsenal was established specifically for Yu Ye, and he was appointed as the director of the Liaoyuan Arsenal.

According to their internal management structure, the entire independent group is even under Yuye’s management.”

"Yoshi."

Shinozuka Yoshio echoed, his eyes suddenly sharp.

He muttered to himself: "Southwest United University, Yu Ye, military expert."

The room was in complete silence. Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes suddenly burst into murderous intent: "Kill him! We must not let him cause any more casualties to the Empire's army."

Hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki was startled and didn't dare to respond.

Yamamoto Ikki lowered his head, and a thought emerged in his mind: With our current military strength, can we really kill the military expert of this independent regiment?

"Mr. Yamamoto, what do you think about the military expert who killed the Chinese Independent Group?"

Yamamoto Kazuki: “…”

Yamamoto Ikki lowered his head even more firmly, and he had only one thought in his mind: I have a fucking s--t that I don't know whether to say it or not.

Three brigades, nearly 30,000 people, almost the strength of a division, and they haven't yet wiped out the independent regiment, or killed this young man.

You're asking me?

How many teachers do I have?

Am I not just the captain of a special operations brigade? I am not even a major general, how the hell am I going to kill Yu Ye?

are you joking?

"Mr. Yamamoto, as a soldier of the empire, why are you keeping your head down and not saying anything?" Shinozuka Yoshio's tone became serious.

"General, I think that with the current level of attention paid by the Eighth Route Army, it is basically impossible for us to complete the frontal encirclement and suppression of the Independent Regiment.

Last time we mobilized three brigades of troops.

If we want to completely destroy the independent regiment this time, I think we will need at least 5 people, while the total military strength of our entire Shanxi Province is only 20.

Once we make such a big move, it will inevitably provoke a counterattack from other Chinese troops.

This is not conducive to our overall situation of obtaining various resources from Jin to support other battlefields."

Yamamoto was sweating profusely and was determined to persuade his boss to give up this crazy idea.

"Then is there any other plan?"

Yoshio Shinozuka also calmed down. Last time, only a few thousand people were killed out of 30,000 people, and he almost got held accountable. It would be better not to go too far.

"..."

Yamamoto Ikki broke out in a cold sweat. Is this because he is going to take advantage of me today and try to fleece me to death?

Without waiting for Yamamoto's reply, Shinozuka Yoshio said, "There are two more options.

First, we now have enough advantage in the air force. We can disrupt the production rhythm of their arsenals through indiscriminate bombing. If we are lucky, we can also kill Yu Ye.

Second, we can also conduct decapitation operations by deploying elite troops to infiltrate.”

When talking about the second plan, Yoshio Shinozuka stared at Ikki Yamamoto.

Yamamoto Ikki could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yi!"

He knew that the general was on the verge of a rage at this time. Thinking of the captain who was forced to commit suicide, Yamamoto Ikki still took on the task with a grimace.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I have another question. Do you have any information about Yu Ye or even the commander of the independent regiment? Do you know them?"

Yamamoto Kazuki: “…”
