Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

However, unexpectedly, when he was fleeing in Wu'an, he encountered militia guerrillas and was chased all the way out of Wu'an.

When Yamamoto Ikki formulated this decapitation plan, Shinozuka Yoshio had very high expectations for it.

Yamamoto Ikki even wanted to recommend his special operations tactics to the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army when Kasahara Yukio came to inspect the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.

However, he was stopped by Yoshio Shinozuka.

Because he was not sure whether Yamamoto's tactics would be effective against the 389th Division.

He didn't want the joke of the Fourth Division to happen to their First Army.

So when Yamamoto Ikki returned to Taiyuan in a mess, Shinozuka Yoshio was just a little disappointed.

However, thinking about the current situation faced by the Japanese army in North China, he still encouraged Yamamoto Ikki to keep up the good work.

Later, Yamamoto Ikki learned his lesson and did not start a decapitation operation against Changzhi right away.

Instead, they fought with the First Column around Taiyuan, and even ended in a draw twice.

After repeated summaries, Yamamoto Ikki believed that the main reason for the failure of infiltrating southeastern Shanxi was intelligence problems. The Special High Police still had a dark understanding of the situation in southeastern Shanxi.

Therefore, Yamamoto Ikki turned his attention to the northern Henan area.

When he led his troops to fight against the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army in northern Henan, the special forces team led by Yamamoto Ikki performed brilliantly in the following operations.

In particular, a record-breaking special forces team of more than 50 people defeated a regiment of the Central Army.

Then he accidentally sneaked into the Eighth Route Army base in northern Henan, captured an important spy, and eventually persuaded him to defect and be placed in the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

However, Yamamoto Ikki has never awakened this hidden chess piece, and this hidden chess piece will only awaken automatically in an emergency.

Through this hidden chess piece, Yamamoto Ikki had a better understanding of why the base in southeastern Shanxi was so difficult to enter.

At the same time, he also became wary of Zeng Jiwen.

I dare not contact this hidden chess piece easily.

But this time, when the information sent by this hidden piece was received and sent over by Qinyang's intelligence team, Yamamoto Ikki's face immediately changed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current deployment of the locust army in North China is aimed at the Eighth Route Army in North China.

Therefore, when Yamamoto Ikki saw that the 389th Division was preparing to attack Taiyuan and would also dispatch armored units, he was immediately shocked.

At the same time, the intelligence also mentioned that the base of the 389th Division Armored Forces was in Yangquan.

Through the previous telegrams on the battle between the First Army and the 389th Division, Yamamoto Ikki knew that the 389th Division was capable of capturing Taiyuan, and armored units were also dispatched this time.

Previously, the intelligence department only knew that the Eighth Route Army had received support from tanks and armored vehicles from the north, but the intelligence department had never found out the specific details.

However, this time the intelligence showed that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with five tank brigades, and they were less than a hundred kilometers away from them.

Without much hesitation, Yamamoto Kazuki took the information and found Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Mr. Yamamoto, do you think that the Eighth Route Army can really equip five tank brigades with just those people?" Yoshio Shinozuka's tone revealed helplessness.

It was obvious that Yoshio Shinozuka did not believe the authenticity of this information.

Hearing the commander's words, Yamamoto Ikki shook his head and said to Shinozuka Yoshio in a serious tone:

"

Commander, the biggest reason why my special forces failed to decapitate the 389th Division was the intelligence problem. I rushed into the so-called base of the 389th Division without knowing the situation clearly.

However, Commander, after these six months, I have summed up the lessons learned and turned my attention to the Chinese troops in northern Henan. In addition to testing our new tactics, I have also gained unexpected benefits.
