At this time, someone came to report that the disappeared trains were found outside the train station.

When Commander Matsui and his men arrived, they gasped when they saw the trains in front of them were distorted by the collision.

I saw several trains colliding with each other in a zigzag manner. Many carriages had directly rushed out of the tracks, and some carriages were even lying beside the tracks. This situation is more difficult to deal with than a train derailment.

Division Commander Matsui pondered for a while and said seriously:

"Yamamoto-kun, this tragic situation is completely different from what we expected."

"The location chosen by the attackers is very professional. If it is not cleared in time, the railway will not be able to be opened at all, and then no one will be able to explain to the higher-ups."

"And the place is very narrow. The overturned locomotive can only be cut into sections by a large cutting machine, and then transported away piece by piece."

Yamamoto Ikki had never encountered such a thing before. His mind was full of special operations, and the shock he had just experienced had not yet dissipated, so his head was still buzzing.

He asked doubtfully, "What does Commander Matsui mean?"

Matsui had a smile on his face, and he showed all eight of his teeth.

“This is a big project, we need to pay more!”

After hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki was speechless. The person in front of him had just been talking for a long time, and it turned out to be because of this. It was really embarrassing.

"Captain Matsui, I can't make the decision on this matter. I will report to Commander Shinozuka later."

In fact, there was nothing more to see at the scene, so Matsui and his men quickly finished their work and went back to ask for a sky-high price.

One special mention here is that after these scrapped train carriages were cut up, they passed through the hands of several people and were eventually sent to the Eighth Route Army Arsenal.

After all, in the Chinese market, the only one who is interested in this kind of scrap steel is the Eighth Route Army. In addition, Minister Zhang has recently made a fortune and is quite generous, making him the most ideal customer for the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.

At this point, the entire Japanese railway station equipment basically fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and all they paid was some money obtained from the Japanese bank.

When Kong Hao saw the large number of train carriages afterwards, he felt dazed and sighed, "I've never seen such a thing before!"

However, the impact of this incident is far from over. Yoshio Shinozuka is not the kind of person who would just take a beating without fighting back.

If we can’t find the main force of the Eighth Route Army, how can we defeat the weak Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?

So he mobilized a large number of troops to attack the defense zone of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army with all his strength, and he also specially sent out the Yamamoto Special Forces to specifically eliminate the command system of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Yamamoto Ikki also wanted to prove himself with real combat results, so Yan Laoxi's troops were in bad luck.

As soon as the battle began, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The headquarters of a main division was ambushed, two infantry regiments were wiped out, and an infantry brigade was defeated.

In particular, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, an elite unit of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was given special attention and suffered a lot of casualties.

Seeing that the Japanese First Army was coming in full force and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was unable to resist at all, our Commander Yan could only spread the word and look for help everywhere in the hope of overcoming this difficulty.

Not only that, he also took out his family fortune to fully arm the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and promised to provide a lot of weapons and ammunition to the rescue troops.

After all, Kenanpo was his last foundation. Once the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was driven out of Shanxi, it would be like the Northeast Army back then, wandering around and eventually dying out.

Yan Laoxi is the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, but if he leaves Shanxi, he will be nothing. This is something he will never be able to accept even if he dies.

At the headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Brigade Commander Chen had a strange expression on his face after reading the telegram forwarded from the headquarters.

"Political Commissar, it seems that our Commander Yan is really anxious this time. He actually promised such a generous reward, the weapons and equipment of a main force regiment plus two million rounds of ammunition and five thousand mortar shells."

"If this had happened before, we would have jumped for joy. This is much more generous than when we were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and first entered Shanxi."

"Back then, when we first arrived, we wanted to get some military supplies nearby. We begged and pleaded with everyone, and finally we got 200 rounds of ammunition and Jin-made submachine guns."

"This was before Taiyuan was captured by the Japanese. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was unable to transport this material away, so they gave it to us with great reluctance. They wanted to do us a favor. This is really calculating."

Political Commissar Wang also said with a smile: "Our Commander Yan saw that he was about to be driven out of Shanxi, so he was anxious to use all his resources to fight the Japanese. If he had done so earlier, the situation in Shanxi would not have turned out like this."

"But then again, we all understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is eliminated or driven away, our Eighth Route Army will have a harder time."

"The head of the headquarters asked us to send a troop to the territory of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to cooperate with the troops there in the battle. At the same time, other troops also took the initiative to attack and draw out some of the Japanese troops."

"Old Chen, which unit are you going to send?"

Brigade Commander Chen thought carefully for a while and said seriously:

"The Japanese are approaching in large numbers this time. Normal troops will not be able to play a big role if they are sent there. We must send the main force, the main force that can stand on its own."

"And judging from the battle situation, the headquarters of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at all levels were attacked. It was a bit like what Xiao Kong said, and the special forces used decapitation tactics. That's why the two armies suffered such heavy losses at the beginning of the battle."

"I plan to send Li Yunlong over. The independent regiment now has about 4,000 people, and its weapons and equipment are also good. It can definitely take charge on its own."

"Now that Shinozuka Yoshio has thrown out the trump card of Yamamoto's special forces, we have to accept it. Let Xiao Kong take the special forces together and fight the enemy head-on."

Hearing this, Political Commissar Wang said with some concern:

"I won't say much about Xiao Kong's role in our arsenal. If we put such a talent in danger, if anything goes wrong, our losses will be huge."

"Political Commissar, a young eagle cannot grow up without going through wind and rain."

"When our special forces team was first formed, it was to fight against the enemy Yamamoto's special forces. Now is the time to put them to use."

"If they choose to hide at this time, then their achievements will be extremely limited and it will not be worth our investment of so much manpower and materials."

"If you want to become a trump card in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, you must not be afraid of any challenge, and Yamamoto's special forces are the first hurdle."

At this time, Political Commissar Wang made another suggestion:

"Why don't we let Song Qingfeng lead the team and leave Xiao Kong in the arsenal? This way we can have the best of both worlds."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen's eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said:

"It's not that good. The special forces team can't play to their maximum strength without Kong Hao leading the team."

"If the enemy we were facing was an ordinary field army of the Japanese devils, there would be no problem at all. But this time we are facing the Shangben Special Forces. Compared with this veteran special forces of the enemy, our specially formed special forces are like a child who has just learned to walk."

"If our carefully trained special forces suffer heavy casualties, it will be a severe blow to future special operations."

"It's settled. Let Xiao Kong lead the main force of the special operations team and leave some members to continue training those special training personnel. We need to take care of both ends."
