Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

At this time, on the streets of Shijiazhuang late at night, an unusual group of Japanese troops were marching on the road to the headquarters.

This team of Japanese soldiers were generally about one body length taller than the average Japanese soldier, and their clothes were also different from those of ordinary Japanese soldiers. There were about thirty of them.

The leading Japanese officer was a colonel, judging by the rank on his shoulder straps. Each of these Japanese soldiers wore leather boots, a steel helmet, and had a submachine gun on his chest.

Every Japanese soldier was fully armed and had all kinds of equipment on him.

Not far away, when a patrol team ran into this team of Japanese troops head-on, the entire team of Japanese soldiers looked at each other in surprise.

The patrol team leader looked at the group of strangely dressed Japanese soldiers in front of him, and then looked at the leader, who turned out to be a colonel. His expression suddenly became nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, the team leader still stepped forward.

"Colonel, may I ask which unit you are from?"

The officer looked at the patrol leader without saying a word and walked up to him.

Seeing the colonel officer remain silent, the team leader felt a little uneasy.

Sudden.

"idiot!"

The officer cursed.

Then, he slapped the team leader hard several times, making him see stars.

"Hi!"

The team leader did not fight back, but just stood at attention and repeatedly bowed to apologize, which frightened the patrolling soldiers behind him.

At this time, a man who looked like the adjutant stood up next to the officer and scolded the Japanese soldiers in front of him.

"idiot!"

"You're blind! This is Colonel Takeshita Shun, who was personally sent by General Sugiyama Moto to Shijiazhuang to support you!"

When the team leader heard that the colonel in front of him was Commander Sugiyama Gen's man, he suddenly became frightened and at a loss.

Just when the squad leader was feeling embarrassed, the officer in front of him suddenly spoke.

"Yoshioka-kun, there's no need to explain. We left in a hurry, so it's normal that they don't know."

Then he gestured to his adjutant to show him his ID.

When the captain heard the colonel who had slapped him in the face speak with a fluent Kanto accent, all his doubts were dispelled. Such a standard accent was not something a poor man from Kansai could provoke.

Seeing the adjutant handing over the documents, the team leader took a quick glance at them, and then immediately signaled the troops behind to make way.

Then, he bowed to the colonel.

Seeing the squad leader's humble appearance, the colonel spoke again.

"Don't be nervous. I understand. We came here in a hurry this time and need to rush to the headquarters immediately. We have a special mission and need your brigade commander's assistance. Please continue patrolling!"

"Remember, don't tell anyone about the existence of the Locust Army."

Upon hearing this, the team leader immediately realized something and nodded quickly, indicating that he would definitely restrain his subordinates from leaking the information.

As the officer led the team away, the patrol team slowly began to murmur.

"Mr. Ono, what kind of army is this locust army? It looks different from most locust armies." A Japanese soldier whispered.

At this time, the Japanese soldier named Ono, who was the captain of the patrol team just now, shook his head.

"I don't know either. They said it was sent by General Sugiyama Moto. It might be a secret unit of the Locust Army!"

Hearing this, another Japanese soldier beside him nodded.

"Yes, just look at this equipment, they are not ordinary locust soldiers."

"Could it be the Eighth Route Army in disguise?" Suddenly, a Japanese soldier said.

Hearing this, the group of Japanese soldiers were all stunned.

When the man named Ono heard this, he immediately shook his head.
