Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Everyone overestimated Lin Qiang's character. Even the monks thought that Lin Qiang would not kill the people sent by the devils, but the result was unexpected.

Soon several soldiers came and cleaned up the house, making it look as if nothing had happened.

Lin Qiang was a very nice guy. Afraid that the Japanese were waiting, he asked the monk to sneak into the front line of the Japanese troops and return the head of that damn messenger to the Japanese.

When Hirano Wataru, Haradaira Koizumi and others learned about this, they did not get angry at first, but looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Hirano Wataru was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Lin Qiang is truly a formidable opponent."

Harahira Koizumi snorted coldly: "His move is clearly a challenge to the dignity of our little life."

However, at this time they were more afraid.

As for Lin Qiang, he knew very well that his action would definitely lead to greater retaliation from the Japanese army, but he was not afraid.

He used the intercom to inform all units: "The Japanese will definitely not swallow this breath. There will be a fierce battle next. Everyone, be prepared for battle."

But he overestimated the courage of Yuanping Koizumi and others. After an unknown amount of time, the Japanese still did not make any move.

The temperature dropped sharply at night. The winter in northwest Shanxi is freezing. Even if all the soldiers in the battalion are wearing thick cotton clothes, they cannot bear to have their hands exposed for a long time.

It was not until the crowing of roosters was heard at the base at night that Lin Qiang ordered the soldiers to relax for a while.

The forward observation post would send back the latest information every ten minutes to ensure that the Japanese were not making any moves.

Everything went smoothly until the next morning.

On the Japanese side.

Both Okamura Neiji and Shinozuka Yoshio put pressure on each other, forcing Harahira Koizumi and others to deal with the independent battalion, which was related to the gains of the Japanese army's large-scale sweep.

Because if the independent battalion continued to exist, the encircled Eighth Route Army would move closer to the independent battalion and turn the Heiyun Village into a military fortress with absolute defense.

Whether it is ground or air defense, Lin Qiang has powerful response measures. If such a situation really occurs, even if the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army’s important tasks are in Heiyun Village, they will have no way to deal with them.

We can't abandon the entire front line of Shanxi Province and mobilize all our forces to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, right?

Hirano Wataru has not experienced Lin Qiang's torture and does not know what powerlessness is, so he still has a lot of room for thinking.

As soon as he received the order, he called Yuanping Koizumi and others to discuss it together, but found that they were speechless and could not say a word.

Hirano Wataru saw this and frowned: "Everyone, are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Yuanping Xiaoquan gritted his teeth and said, "That Lin Qiang is very cunning. As long as he doesn't leave the Xiaowangzhuang position, a frontal attack will not benefit us."

Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

At this time, an officer named Yamamoto stood up and said, "Commen, I have a plan. We can pretend to withdraw some of our troops to lure them off guard, and then send in our elite troops to launch a sneak attack from a detour."

Yamamoto Ikki is an old acquaintance. He had been defeated by the Independent Battalion many times before. The special forces team he founded disappeared for a while after suffering heavy losses.

After hearing Yamamoto Ikki's plan, Haradaira Koizumi and Akenoi, two guys who had lost their ability to think, expressed their agreement with the plan.

Hirano Wataru, however, was full of disdain and sarcastically said, "Yamamoto Ikki, if I remember correctly, that's your name, right?"

"Hi Yi!"

Yamamoto Ikki lost his former arrogance and became respectful when answering.

"If we were to deal with other Eighth Route Army units, your plan might have unexpected effects."

Hirano Wataru said disdainfully: "It's a pity that the person you want to use against is Lin Qiang. Do you think it will be useful?"

"Don't tell me about your special operations philosophy. After all this time, do you have any achievements to show for yourself?"

"Don't think I don't know. Your so-called special forces were defeated by Lin Qiang a long time ago. These members are just filler. What use can such a team have?"

"Yamamoto-kun, you have the remnants of the Sakata Regiment under your command. I can allow you to attack Xiaowangzhuang using any combat method. How about this? Do you dare to agree?"

Yamamoto Ikki clenched his fists tightly. Now he could only silently accept such ridicule and insults.

Seeing this, Hirano Wataru snorted disdainfully: "Your so-called special operations are nothing but a joke. In a large-scale group battle, the only effect you can have is to make the Eighth Route Army waste a few bullets."

No one cared about Yamamoto Ikki's feelings, and Ishiyama Heiji, who was also the commander of the regiment, even had a playful smile on his face.

In the past, Yamamoto relied on Yoshio Shinozuka's care and his status as a military academy graduate to look down on colonels of the same rank, believing that these ordinary soldiers could not be confused with him.

Looking back now, Yamamoto Ikki has become a fallen dog, unwelcome everywhere.

The news was quickly passed back to the Xiaowangzhuang Command Post. When Lin Qiang learned that Yamamoto Ikki was also in the Japanese army, he couldn't help but recall the past.

At that time, the independent battalion had not yet been established, and the team consisted of the first platoon of the third company of the first battalion of the independent regiment. The team was poorly equipped and had no automatic firepower.

Relying on his unique advantages, Lin Qiang ambushed Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team and seized the submachine guns used by the special forces team.

I still remember that the several submachine guns alarmed the brigade commander and made the regiment commander Li Yunlong take the blame.

What now?

Those submachine guns had long been lost to which team, perhaps even in the hands of the guerrillas.

Zhang Yuntian, Hu Zi and other company commanders were called back by Lin Qiang and were discussing the next plan.

The team cannot keep wasting time fighting the Japanese like this. Once the boss's plan starts, the Japanese can withdraw troops to reinforce at any time, and the independent battalion can only passively defend its position.

Everyone knew about the appearance of Yamamoto Ikki, and they all said that they had not seen this guy causing trouble for a long time, and they actually missed him a little.

Lin Qiang laughed and said, "This Yamamoto Ikki has been hurt many times. I don't know where he went to hide. He showed up now. I guess he's here to seek revenge on us."

Hu Zi's face was covered with traces of gunpowder and smoke. He grinned and said, "I'm just worried he won't come. To be honest, my hands are sore from using this assault rifle for so long. I'd like to try the submachine gun again!"

"Since Yamamoto Ikki isn't coming, let's go give him a welcome gift."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Qiang's words.

Zhang Yuntian was the first to speak and asked, "Battalion Commander, you don't want the special forces to provoke Yamamoto Ikki, do you?"

"If that's the case, then you're really being mean!"
