Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

As the situation developed, the tens of thousands of troops of the Fourth Brigade gradually split into two factions.

Yamamoto Ikki and Haradaira Koizumi are the leaders of these two factions.

of course.

Yamamoto Ikki was naturally no match for Haradaira Koizumi, but he was only at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

In terms of combat capability, even Harahira Koizumi had to admit that he was at a disadvantage.

But Yamamoto Ikki did not want to see such a situation, he would rather stay out of it.

When he lost his military power, he thought about living a safe life as a spy.

But now that he holds military power, his temperament has changed.

Is it "abandoning darkness and turning to light" or "admitting one's mistakes and sticking to them"?

Yamamoto fell into thought.

But in the end, he chose the second one.

A message was sent back to the independent camp.

When Lin Qiang found out, he couldn't stop sneering.

"Yamamoto, Yamamoto, you are really ambitious!"

It turns out that Yamamoto Ikki did not choose to "betray" Lin Qiang, nor did he choose to "turn from darkness to light."

Instead, he chose to join forces with Lin Qiang and cooperate with him to defeat Yuanping Koizumi's direct subordinates.

This allowed Yamamoto Ikki to take control of the entire 4th Brigade.

Yamamoto also promised that once he took control of the 4th Brigade, the entire army would retreat, even withdraw from Shanxi Province, and join the Osaka Division.

Then he left China and returned to the small island.

It seemed like a win-win plan, but Lin Qiang smelled a conspiracy.

Yamamoto Ikki is an extremely conceited person, there is no need to speculate too much about this.

Regardless of the difficulty of the plan, if he really retreated without fighting as he said, it would be absolutely impossible.

Once Yamamoto Ikki takes control of the 4th Brigade, he will definitely attack the independent battalion as soon as possible.

This is absolutely true.

If someone really took control of the 4th Brigade, the surrender letter on Lin Qiang's desk would be like a piece of waste paper.

Would the Japs trust a brigade commander who controls tens of thousands of troops, or a piece of waste paper from the enemy?

The answer is very obvious.

In the command room.

Zhang Yuntian and Hu Zi are known as the two think tanks of the Independent Camp.

After learning about Yamamoto Ikki's plan from Lin Qiang, the three of them fell into deep thought at the same time.

a long time.

Zhang Yuntian said, "Captain, I think we can agree to this."

Lin Qiang looked up: "Reason."

Zhang Yuntian analyzed: "We pretend to agree to his request and let him fight with Harahira Koizumi first. No matter who wins or loses, it will consume the Japanese army's strength."

"If Yamamoto Ikki wins, he'll surely be eager to consolidate his forces and won't attack us right away. During this time, we can strengthen our defenses and prepare for his attack. If Harahira Koizumi wins, their internal strength will be severely damaged, and we can secretly instigate them, creating more conflicts between the two sides."

"And if Yamamoto Ikki wins, he will definitely not let Haradaira Koizumi go. As soon as the latter dies, we will immediately announce Yamamoto Ikki's surrender."

Lin Qiang sneered and said, "By then, the Japs will definitely track us down thoroughly, and the Japs of the Fourth Brigade will be thrown into chaos."

"So, we'll use the spies who have infiltrated the 4th Brigade to keep a close watch on Yamamoto Ikki, while continuing to stir up internal conflicts within the Japanese army."

"Not only must Yamamoto Ikki and Haradaira Koizumi be killed, but we must also take this opportunity to wipe out the entire Fourth Brigade."

"Huzi, Yuntian still has to take care of the affairs of the county, so this matter will be handed over to you. Your team will be temporarily led by..."

Lin Qiang wanted to say that Qiangzi should take over the command, but when he thought about the last time this kid actually led two companies to fight back, Lin Qiang stopped talking.

"Forget it, I'll take charge myself."

Hu Zi took the order and left, quickly arranging people to notify the undercover agents lurking in the Fourth Brigade.

Lin Qiang began to prepare plans to deal with various emergencies.

On Yamamoto Ikki's side, he began to attack Harahira Koizumi as planned.

For a time, the internal divisions within the 4th Brigade intensified and small-scale conflicts continued.

Harahira Koizumi did not expect that Yamamoto Ikki would dare to openly challenge him, and he fought back with all his strength.

On the independent battalion side, Lin Qiang was closely monitoring the situation through the intelligence sent by the spy.

Just when the fight between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, an accident happened.

The Japanese high-ranking officials noticed the abnormality of the 4th Brigade and sent investigators.

The arrival of the investigator disrupted the plans of Yamamoto Ikki and Lin Qiang.

Lin Qiang decided to act in advance and take the initiative to attack the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Yamamoto Ikki understood the challenge and cleverly avoided the devil's investigation.

The series of false information that was prepared caused considerable trouble for Harahira Koizumi.

But this was not enough to bring down Harahira Koizumi, but Yamamoto Ikki prepared a more powerful medicine for him.

It was enough to kill Harahira Koizumi.

After Lin Qiang learned the news, he knew he had to adjust his strategy. On the one hand, he ordered his assassins to disrupt the battle as much as possible, and on the other hand, he urgently summoned his troops to take advantage of the chaos and launch a surprise attack on the 4th Brigade.

The battle broke out instantly and the 4th Brigade was plunged into chaos.

Lin Qiang led the soldiers of the independent battalion and rushed towards the 4th Brigade like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Yamamoto Ikki pretended to be defeated and retreated while fighting, exposing Harahira Koizumi's main force.

At this time, Harahira Koizumi was attacked from both sides. He had to prevent Yamamoto Ikki from shooting him from behind and also face the surprise attack of the independent battalion.

The soldiers of the independent battalion fought bravely, and Qiangzi was at the forefront.

However, Harahira Koizumi was a veteran of the battlefield after all, and he organized an effective resistance, and the battle was stalemate for a while.

At this time, Lin Qiang discovered the location of Yuanping Koizumi's command post.

He decisively ordered concentrated firepower to attack the command post.

Grenades flew towards the command post, and the sound of explosions echoed throughout the battlefield.

Harahira Koizumi was injured in the explosion and morale was low.

But wanting to eat up tens of thousands of Japanese devils is nothing but a pipe dream.

Lin Qiang didn't care and decided to quit while he was ahead. The independent battalion immediately withdrew to its position, not giving the Japanese a chance to counterattack.

Yamamoto Ikki was indeed a decisive man. As soon as the independent battalion retreated, he knew that Lin Qiang was going to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

The situation has now become extremely critical. If Harahira Koizumi reacts, the person who will die will definitely be Yamamoto Ikki.

Of course he could also escape.

But the final dose of medicine had not yet been given to Harahira Koizumi, and once he escaped, his crime of treason would be completely confirmed.

Once the charges are proven, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Yamamoto Ikki took advantage of the chaos to find where Harahira Koizumi was, and with a determined heart, he threw a grenade over.

After an explosion, it was suddenly discovered that there was no one inside.

Yamamoto Ikki was shocked and realized that he had fallen into a trap. At this moment, gunshots rang out all around him, and Harahira Koizumi and his men surrounded him.

It turns out that Harahira Koizumi had guessed that Yamamoto Ikki would make a desperate bet and set up this trap to lure him into the trap.

Lin Qiang saw this scene from a distance and realized that the situation had changed. He knew that if Yamamoto Ikki was killed, the internal conflicts among the Japanese would disappear, and the next target would be the independent battalion.

So he made a prompt decision and led the special forces to attack again.

When Yuanping Koizumi was feeling proud, he did not expect the independent battalion to strike back.

The independent battalion launched a fierce attack, catching the Japanese off guard.

Harahira Koizumi was busy dealing with the independent battalion and relaxed his supervision of Yamamoto Ikki.

Yamamoto Ikki seized the opportunity to break free from his restraints and formed a two-pronged attack on Harahira Koizumi with the independent battalion.

Yuanping Koizumi was caught in a dilemma and his formation was in chaos.

When Lin Qiang saw Yamamoto Ikki break free, he immediately withdrew his troops.

This is all he can do. As for the next plan, it has nothing to do with Yamamoto Ikki.

That’s not right. After all, the next plan is aimed at Yamamoto Ikki.
