Chapter 260: Zhao Gang, Political Commissar of the Action Team, Arrives

Yamamoto Ikki knelt for a long time and could not get up, while Shinozuka Yoshio was furious.

Most of the thirty-nine pilots were actually fighter pilots who were temporarily transferred to assist in the piloting of bombers.

The loss of these pilots resulted in a loss of more than half of the First Army's air force.

In a short period of time, Yoshio Shinozuka was no longer able to launch frequent air strikes on various parts of Shanxi.

Unless the Japanese army headquarters sends more pilots, but pilots are national treasures in any unit, and no Japanese unit will willingly give their pilots to Yoshio Shinozuka.

You know, it takes several years to train a pilot.

"Commander, there's an old Chinese saying: 'Man proposes, God disposes.' Although we lost this battle, that was also God's will. Please let Yamamoto-kun get up."

"This plan is a masterful one, one within another. We even deployed bombers equipped with poison gas bombs. Furthermore, when Yamamoto-kun proposed the plan, he consulted with us and made his decision."

"This plan is truly flawless. If it fails, it's God's will. I think we should first consider how to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army."

After being persuaded by Hideyoshi Kusuyama, Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka calmed down and asked Ikki Yamamoto to stand up.

Just as Kusunoki Hideyoshi said, Yamamoto Ikki did have some abilities, but his luck was not good enough. As soon as he came out of the mountains, he met Li Yunlong and Zheng Kaixuan.

Finally, Kusunokichi Hideyoshi suggested sending Yamamoto Ikki to integrate the Imperial Army and puppet army forces in southeastern Shanxi, train and reorganize them, and incorporate them all into the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Then, Yamamoto Ikki commanded the 8th Mixed Brigade to assist the Nakamura Brigade and Kawagishi Division in launching a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army.

Liuzang, at this moment, seems to be extremely lively because of the establishment of the Sharp Knife Obstacle Breaking Special Operations Team.

Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Zheng Kaixuan, Xing Zhiguo and others gathered together, and it was very lively with everyone toasting each other.

It’s just that some people are happy and some are sad.

The happiest person was none other than the independent regiment commander Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong's transition period as the company commander of the spearhead regiment has ended. He has been successfully promoted to the commander of the independent regiment and has been promoted to the deputy leader of the special operations team.

In addition, he also recruited a powerful general from the prisoner-of-war camp: Monk!

The monk was recruited by Li Yunlong and was directly promoted to the company commander of the guard company.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of drinking, Li Yunlong asked Ding Wei for someone again.

"Old Ding, we agreed that if I ever become the head of a group again, you have to give me some of the brothers who are easy to use."

Ding Wei is a particular person, so naturally he is not vague.

"Lao Li, if you want any brother, just tell me..."

As soon as Li Yunlong opened his mouth, Ding Wei was shocked.

"Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion; Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion; Wang Gensheng, deputy commander of the second battalion; Wang Chengzhu, commander of the third battalion; Sun Desheng, commander of the first company of the third battalion. These are all my old brothers, and they are all easy to use..."

"hiss!"

Hearing this long list of names, Ding Wei took a deep breath and felt pain in his teeth.

"Old Li, you're just going to beat up the entire leadership team of the New 1st Regiment."

Ding Wei gave a wry smile.

"Alright, I'll just give it to you. At worst, I can apply to headquarters to transfer a few of my old men from the 28th Regiment. After all, I promised you that."

"Hahaha! Old Ding, great, that's really refreshing. Come on, let's drink!"

When some people are happy, others are sad. At this moment, Kong Jie, the former leader of the independent regiment, had a worried expression on his face.

In the Battle of Yangcun, the Independent Regiment did not suffer any losses, but Kong Jie was demoted.

He was demoted from regiment commander to deputy regiment commander.

Being demoted was already depressing enough for Kong Jie, but what made Kong Jie even more depressed was that he, the deputy commander, was not even on the leadership team of the newly established Sharp Knife Obstacle Breaking Special Operations Team.

Seeing that Kong Jie was not in a good mood, Zheng Kaixuan could only persuade Kong Jie with a smile.

"Old Kong, I believe that headquarters will definitely not let a talent like you go unused. If they didn't include you in the independent action team, they probably have other important roles for you. Don't overthink it."

At the same time, a young officer with a righteous face and a dusty appearance rushed to the headquarters.

"Commander, Zhao Gang reports to you."

Seeing Zhao Gang coming, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of several leaders.

Zhao Gang, a top student at Yenching University and a graduate of the fourth class of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, had participated in and led the December 9th National Salvation Movement five years earlier. Even before this movement, he was already an outstanding underground leader. Not only was he well-educated, he also possessed a wealth of revolutionary experience.

"Xiao Zhao, the reason I asked you to come this time is to transfer you to the Independent Regiment as the political commissar. Actually, not only will you be the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, but you'll also be the political commissar of the Sharp Knife Special Operations Group. Li Yunlong has a hot temper, and Zheng Kaixuan is quite impulsive. At a critical moment, Xing Zhiguo alone might not be able to persuade them."

"Also, regarding some specific matters concerning the Sharp Knife Barrier Breaking Special Operations Team, please go to the Times Organization and convey them..."

Several leaders gave Zhao Gang many instructions and warned him about many details.

"Alright, report to the 129th Division Headquarters first, and then leave for Liuzhuang immediately."

"Yes! Zhao Gang promises to complete the task."

Zhao Gang saluted respectfully, first went to the headquarters of the 129th Division, then to the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, and finally rushed to Liuzhuang with a guard.

From a distance, Zhao Gang could hear the bustling noise inside Liuzhuang. After entering the manor, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Although it was very lively, Zhao Gang couldn't help but frowning.

Isn't the defense of the Sharp Knife Regiment and the Independent Regiment too lax?

Zhao Gang quietly walked into the yard and called out to a soldier.

"Comrade, go get Li Yunlong and Zheng Kaixuan."

Just as the spearhead soldier was about to go in and call for help, he saw Zheng Kaixuan, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others coming out of the house with a group of people to greet him.

"This must be the newly appointed Political Commissar Zhao, right? I'm Zheng Kaixuan, this is the Independent Regiment Commander Li Yunlong, this is Commander Kong Jie, Commander Kong, Ding Wei, Commander Ding, Deputy Commander Xing, Political Commissar Li Wenying..."

Zheng Kaixuan enthusiastically introduced everyone to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang had a dark face, and it seemed that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Captain Zheng, Captain Li, today is the official launch day of the special operations team. Let's have a drink and I won't say much."

"But we can't become complacent and let our guard down just because we've won a few battles. When I came in from outside the village, I didn't see a single sentry all the way inside. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"It's a good thing I'm here today. What if the Japanese or spies sneaked in? Wouldn't the action team headquarters be wiped out by the Japanese?"

Everyone then understood that the reason why Zhao Gang was angry was not because they did not go out to the village to pick up Gao Ying, but because he thought that everyone's precautions were too negligent.

In fact, Zhao Gang was not only secretly angry, but also very puzzled.

How did a team with such loose defense defeat the Sakata and Matsui teams one after another?

Li Yunlong felt embarrassed when he saw the new political commissar lecturing him in front of everyone right from the start.

"I'm telling you, a pale-faced scholar, fresh out of school, right? When it comes to marching, fighting, deploying formations, and defending, everyone here is more experienced than you. Zhao Gang, it's not your turn to give orders here."

"Lao Li, don't, don't, don't..."

Zheng Kaixuan knew very well that Li Yunlong had a quick temper. If he didn't stop him, the two of them might start fighting, which would be a lot of fun. He quickly persuaded Li Yunlong to stop talking and told him to say less.

"Political Commissar Zhao, you misunderstood. The defense inside Liuzhuang may seem lax, but it's actually quite tight inside. Not even a fly can get in, let alone a Japanese spy."
