Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Captain, do we still need to put out this fire?"

A Japanese squadron leader asked for instructions tremblingly.

clap clap!

The Japanese squadron leader was undoubtedly slapped twice.

"Bakayalu, you have a terrible conscience. Do you want to turn me into a corpse in there too?"

"The airport is no longer of any value. We must find the attackers now, or we will all commit seppuku to serve the Emperor!"

After the Japanese captain finished speaking, he quickly led his team towards the nameless mountain where Xiaowu and the others were.

At this time on the nameless mountain, the artillery crew had already dismantled the 107. Seeing this, Xiaowu immediately ordered everyone to evacuate.

He didn't want to fight an unnecessary battle. Anyway, the mission had been completed. Although there were more than 140 of them, they were not afraid of the remaining Japanese devils.

A few minutes later, before the Japanese army reached the nameless mountain, the special forces team disappeared into the mountains and forests, leaving behind only the Japanese army airport in ruins.

More than ten minutes later, when the Japanese captain arrived at the nameless hilltop panting, there was not a single ghost on it, which made the Japanese captain stunned.

"Captain, the enemy seems to have escaped."

clap clap clap!

The Japanese captain's foolish question was met with another beating, which left his face swollen.

"Bagayalu, search quickly, we must not let these people escape!"

After the Japanese captain finished speaking, the Japanese soldiers ran like crazy again, but unfortunately the special forces had already disappeared without a trace.

The huge commotion at the airport eventually alarmed the Japanese headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka was feeling very uneasy in his office, and Michitake Yamaoka's face was covered with beads of sweat as big as beans, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Judging from the noise coming from the direction of the airport, with such a violent explosion, there would be no chance of survival in the entire airport.

But at such a critical moment, they were unwilling to accept the death and at least wanted to die with a clear conscience.

"Reporting to the Commander, the Chief of Staff, the Kurihara Battalion..."

Before the Japanese communications staff could finish his words, the telegram was snatched away by Yoshio Shinozuka. He took a quick glance at it and felt dizzy and fell heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, Yamaoka was always keeping an eye on Yoshio Shinozuka, otherwise he would have probably bled after falling down, after all, there was a table next to Yoshio Shinozuka.

Misfortunes never come singly, and that's how Yamaoka feels at this moment.

The battle to encircle and suppress the independent brigade did not go smoothly as expected. In addition, the Eighth Route Army in various parts of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei launched attacks and sabotage, and telegrams for help were everywhere. Their First Army was already in a state of exhaustion...

Half an hour later, Yoshio Shinozuka slowly woke up. Seeing this, Michitake Yamaoka spoke hesitantly.

"Commander, Taiyuan Airport was attacked by the Independent Brigade's special forces. They fired rapid-fire cannons from the mountains, detonating a large amount of fuel and bombs at the airport. Not a single fighter plane at the airport was spared, and all crew members were killed. Only three squadrons of security personnel remain!"

After all, Yoshio Shinozuka had seen the world, and these words did not make him faint again, but his expression became very ugly.

"Bagaya road!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was relatively well-mannered, couldn't help but curse, but he didn't know who to curse.

They and the Independent Brigade were already in a hostile relationship, and even the surprise attack on the airport was a matter of the battlefield. He could only blame himself for not taking it seriously enough.

"Baga, what's going on with Shanmu? We've given them enough time, let them hurry up!"

Helpless Yoshio Shinozuka thought of the unlucky Yamaki again. He had previously ordered Yamaki's special forces to lurk in Taiyue Mountain, but the man ran away after a few days, making it impossible for Yamaki to find the target for a while. It was not until the large force of the independent brigade stayed around Pingding that they found a chance to get close.

However, Gu Changfeng was also very alert to the surroundings. Half of the special forces members were around him, and they usually took turns on guard, giving Shanmu no chance at all. Shanmu could only hide in a remote mountain more than 20 kilometers away and wait for an opportunity.

"Captain, the Commander-in-Chief has sent a telegram asking us to act quickly!"

"Nani?"

The Japanese signalman's words made Shanmu people paralyzed. Isn't it courting death to let him attack in such a hurry?

The special forces of the independent brigade are not to be trifled with, otherwise they would have taken down the independent brigade's headquarters long ago. Why would they have to wait until now?

"What's going on?" Shanmu asked with a gloomy face. He knew very well, and he believed that the commander was also very clear about the strength of the independent brigade special forces.

He was certain that it was impossible for such an order to come from the headquarters without anything happening.

The Japanese signalman hesitated and said, "Captain, the headquarters didn't tell us the specific reason, but I just contacted other people in the headquarters, and they said that the airport in Taiyuan City was bombed by the independent brigade, and all 156 planes inside were destroyed!"

Well, Shanmu finally understood the reason for the incident, but if he were to take action, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with the Independent Brigade.

But no matter how difficult it was, he had to obey the commander's orders. After thinking for a while, he called back the search team. He wanted to discuss how to act specifically, and the discussion lasted until nightfall.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the Sakura Special Attack Team that Yamaki was in began to take action.

The 20-odd kilometers of travel was not a problem for the Japanese special forces, and they arrived at Qiling Mountain before 12 o'clock.

In the dark forest at night, a group of dark shadows were groping their way through the eastern corner of Qiling Mountain.

Shanmu's entire team consists of more than 400 people and is well-equipped. Among them, the machine gun team alone has 160 people, 50 snipers, 60 artillery crew members, and the rest are in reconnaissance, logistics, and communications.

However, although they are Japanese logistics and communications soldiers, their combat effectiveness is also top-notch, otherwise they would not have been selected into the Sakura Special Attack Team.

Shanmu's target was the Independent Brigade's headquarters in Pingding, so all they needed at this moment was to safely cross Qiling Mountain, and they did not want to attack the 46th Regiment here.

When crossing Qiling Mountain, Shanmu was very cautious. He sent a reconnaissance team to lead the way, and the other teams formed two combat formations to search and advance in the mountains and forests.

As a person valued by Yoshio Shinozuka, Yamaki has been studying, reflecting, and training on the battlefield since his defeat in Gaojia Town.

Obviously, there was an effect. Two squads of more than 50 guard soldiers from the 46th Regiment were killed silently without making any noise.

In a valley two kilometers away from the Japanese, a special forces member from the Fourth Regiment was performing a guard duty.

Except for the first regiment, all other regiments of the independent brigade have special forces personnel, and their equipment was also personally provided by Gu Changfeng after the Gaojia Town battle.

Subsequently, each regiment conducted some more training on its own, bringing the total number of personnel to 130, divided into ten groups.

However, the firepower of several regiments was sufficient, and they were almost always successful in battle, so they were rarely used in normal times.

So the Japanese actually didn't know that in addition to the special forces in the open, the independent brigade had at least four to five hundred people in secret, not including those who were subsequently trained by Zhao Ziqing.
