Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Yamamoto Ikki did not want any mistakes to happen in this mission. Only by completing this mission could he make the old stubborn members of several brigades change their minds and support his special operations plan.

He was very careful with every step he took. Any slight movement, even a fart from a soldier of the New Second Regiment, would make him break out in a cold sweat.

This time, Yamamoto Ikki felt that the goddess of luck was blessing him. There was no obstruction and no accidents happened. In this way, the special forces team quietly passed through the defense line of the New Second Regiment and successfully arrived behind Xiaowangzhuang.

Hiding in the dark and looking at the command post above Xiaowangzhuang, Yamamoto Ikki's face showed a look of struggle.

There were no troops deployed behind the Eighth Route Army's command post. If they took action now, Yamamoto Ikki believed there would be a 90% chance of success.

He was hesitating whether to take action.

After much hesitation, he gave up the plan.

First of all, the task force was to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, not to raid the command post.

Even if they could destroy the Eighth Route Army's command post, they would not necessarily win the battle. In addition, the previous surprise attack had failed, and Yamamoto Ikki had witnessed the enemy's strength and cunning, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Secondly, and most importantly, he is a soldier and must obey orders. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's howitzers are still there, so it is useless to kill the current leader, as there will be other people to take over.

Perhaps it will be a stronger and more cunning opponent.

"keep going!"

Yamamoto Ikki didn't stay for long. He had finally managed to convince himself, as he was afraid that he would change his mind at the last minute.

However, what he didn't know was that every move of the special forces team was under surveillance by the special forces.

The reason they were able to completely penetrate the defense line of the New Second Regiment was because Lin Qiang deliberately left a way out for Yamamoto Ikki and his special forces team.

After failing to eliminate this special forces team many times, Lin Qiang also wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Yamamoto Ikki.

The attention of the entire base was focused on Xiaowangzhuang, and he didn't believe that Yamamoto Ikki would do nothing.

Moreover, the unusual actions of the Japanese made Lin Qiang keenly aware that something was wrong.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei also realized this and sent people to investigate.

When the news that Yamamoto Ikki had taken the bait reached Lin Qiang, he calmly gave the order to act.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not informed because it was considered unnecessary. With Kong Jie's character, he would definitely find a way to avenge Yang Cun. If he knew, the plan would most likely fail.

It’s better to keep it a secret from them first, and then tell them once the plan is completed.

However, things are always so diverse.

The advancing Yamamoto Ikki special forces almost ran into Li Yunlong who came to support them.

If Yamamoto Ikki had not been very careful, his and Lin Qiang's plans would have been disrupted by Li Yunlong's sudden arrival.

Lin Qiang was very relieved when he heard the news. Otherwise, if Yamamoto Ikki refused to come out, the only way to eliminate them would be to attack the county town.

"Lin Qiang, you're going to use this little money to fight two brigades of devils?"

As soon as Li Yunlong arrived at the command post, he expressed dissatisfaction with the strength displayed by Lin Qiang.

"Old Li?"

Kong Jie asked with a little surprise, "Why are you here? You're the commander of a main force regiment, but you're not at the regimental headquarters directing your work, but you've come to the battlefield without permission. If the brigade commander knew about this, wouldn't he definitely remove you as the commander?"

Compared to Kong Jie's chicken dinner, Ding Wei's reaction was quite flat. He only said, "Old Kong, what's so strange about this? We're both here, so how could Li Yunlong not come? If he doesn't join in the fun, is he still Li Yunlong?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunlong smiled brightly: "You, Old Ding, still understand me!"

"Old Kong, you got a lot of advantages last time. I heard that your troops have doubled in strength and are almost catching up with Old Ding!"

Lin Qiang was tactful enough not to interrupt, and he couldn't get a word in.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei are old comrades-in-arms and brothers in life and death.

Although they were all in the same place and their defense zones were adjacent to each other, they didn't have many opportunities to meet.

They are all leaders of the main group. They usually have to deal with a lot of things. Not only do they have to consider the development of the team, but they also have to pay attention to the food and drink of more than a thousand people in the group.

The things are all small, but when they are all put together, it becomes no longer a small matter.

So, unless there is something special on weekdays, the three of them will hardly meet, let alone sit down together to chat and brag.

Now that we have finally met, it is natural for me to catch up with my old comrades.

In front of these three people, Lin Qiang was just a new recruit, doing the job of serving tea and water.

When pouring water for Li Yunlong, Lin Qiang was grabbed by the other party and said, "You are a soldier brought up by me, so I won't beat around the bush with you. My team hasn't had breakfast yet, so you should make arrangements."

"no problem."

Lin Qiang smiled and nodded in agreement.

The steamed buns for the team’s breakfast are still in Xiaowangzhuang. I don’t know how many there are, but it should be enough for a reinforced company.

Ding Wei squinted at Li Yunlong and said, "Come on, if I hadn't felt sorry for you, I wouldn't have given you Zhang Dabiao or even Lin Qiang's group."

"hey-hey."

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Who to blame then? If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame you, Old Ding, for not knowing what's good!"

"I never brag. When I first saw Lin Qiang, I knew he was a good fighter. Don't believe me, I made him a squad leader the day after he joined the independent regiment."

"Some soldiers weren't convinced, saying it was based on seniority, and it wasn't his turn as a rookie like Lin Qiang to be a squad leader. Guess what I said? I wasn't convinced. Okay, let's go to the training ground and compete."

"You won't know until you compare. Lin Qiang is not only good with a spear, but also has amazing fist and kick skills. He knocked the unconvinced soldier to the ground in just a few moves. Since then, no one dares to disobey Lin Qiang as the squad leader."

"It's a pity that the brigade commander dismissed him before I had the chance to train him. Otherwise, Lin Qiang would be no worse than any of us three now!"

Ding Wei nodded in agreement with Li Yunlong's words. Lin Qiang's ability was obvious to all. Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, was an arrogant man. Among the three regiments, except for Li Yunlong who defeated the Sakata Regiment head-on, the other two did not give him much face.

Let’s look at Lin Qiang again. Chu Yunfei tried to please him many times, and finally the brigade commander had to give orders to Chu Yunfei in their respective defense zones to make him give up his evil thoughts about Lin Qiang.

Kong Jie drank a glass of water and said helplessly, "Without your training, Li Yunlong, Lin Qiang would still be stronger than the three of us."

"Don't be unconvinced. Lin Qiang gave me a lowdown when we got here. If the independent battalion goes all out, our three regiments combined wouldn't even have enough people to warm up."

At this time, Lin Qiang just came in from outside. After hearing what Kong Jie said, he quickly said, "Captain Kong, please don't talk nonsense."

The three of them thought that Lin Qiang was going to be humble, but they didn't expect that his next words would make them unconvinced, but they could do nothing about it.

"Let alone your three regiments, even if we add Chu Yunfei, our independent regiment is now capable of fighting."
