Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

Meanwhile, Yangquan County.

"Mr. Shinozuka, you're looking for me?"

Yamamoto Ikki stood in front of Shinozuka Yoshio with a bit of sadness on his face and said softly.

After the decapitation operation failed repeatedly, Yamamoto Ikki no longer had the confidence he had before.

"Yamamoto-kun..."

After looking at Yamamoto Ikki, Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice.

To be honest, he was full of disappointment in Yamamoto Ikki.

Especially the incident with the observation group last time. They used so many senior military officers as bait to provide opportunities for the special forces team, but they were defeated by the Eighth Route Army before they even entered Chenjiayu. Basically, the entire army was wiped out, and only Yamamoto Ikki returned with injuries.

But now, the specific location of the special brigade headquarters has finally been figured out, and the only one who can carry out the decapitation operation is Yamamoto Ikki.

"Yamamoto-kun, can I still trust you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yamamoto Ikki's body trembled, and his face was full of shame and loss.

"Mr. Shinozuka, I..."

The successive failures have made him lose the courage to make promises.

Seeing this, Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at him and then placed the two pieces of information on the table.

"Look at this."

"It was just spread by one of our people."

Hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki subconsciously turned his gaze to the paper on the table. The moment he saw the two key words "Special Brigade" and "Qin Cang", his expression changed drastically, as if he had gone crazy. He rushed to the table in one step, holding the intelligence in his trembling hands.

"Xuyang Village! Five hundred soldiers!"

At this moment, Yamamoto Ikki's voice was like the roar of a wild beast.

"According to the latest intelligence, Qin Cang's special forces brigade is located in Xuyang Village, and the entire regiment has less than 500 soldiers."

Glancing at Yamamoto, Shinozuka Yoshio continued.

"The intelligence we received earlier was a mixture of truth and falsehood."

"Wangjiaying, Qingshan Prisoner Camp, Gejia Village, Lijiapo, Daxiawan, Xiji, Observation Group, Chenjiayu."

"These battles were indeed carried out by Qin Cang, but they were not all carried out by the special forces. There were also troops from other regiments of the Eighth Route Army."

"That is to say..."

Before Shinozuka Yoshio could finish his words, Yamamoto Ikki interrupted him and said viciously, "In other words, Qin Cang is the key!"

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly, and after a brief pause, he said in a deep voice: "Yamamoto-kun, I know how you feel right now."

"But the Empire never keeps incompetent people!"

"You single-handedly formed the special forces team, and you've also seen it defeated many times. Are you willing to watch a team that doesn't live up to its name kill all the special forces members?"

After saying this, Shinozuka Yoshio exhaled deeply, sank into his chair, and said solemnly, "Yamamoto-kun, you are the hope of the empire, the pillar of the empire, and the person with the greatest hope of changing the situation in North China. Are you willing to allow yourself to fall into despair?"

After he finished speaking, Yoshio Shinozuka almost shouted the following words.

"Yamamoto Ikki! Are you still worthy of the Empire's trust?"

As the last word fell, Yamamoto Ikki's body shook, and he looked up suddenly, his eyes full of bloodthirsty light.

"Lord Shinozuka, Yamamoto Ikki requests that this decapitation operation be carried out!"

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio smiled broadly and nodded with immense satisfaction. "This is the geographical location of the special forces brigade and the surrounding terrain. Go back and formulate a detailed battle plan. We'll begin the operation in three days!"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki immediately gave a perfect 90-degree bow and shouted, "Hi!"

For three days, the entire special brigade was on high alert, and even the people of Xuyang Village could sense a hint of solemnity in the air.

Three days later, Ping'an County, late at night.

"Everyone! This operation will directly affect the situation in North China. It is extremely important!"

Looking at the thirty soldiers of the special forces team, Yamamoto Ikki said loudly.

If Yoshio Shinozuka were here, he would definitely be able to clearly see that Yamamoto Ikki's eyes had regained their brilliance, and the lifeless and dejected look of the past few days had completely disappeared.

"Mr. Gongjing, explain the objectives of this operation to the team members."

As Yamamoto Ikki finished speaking, a Japanese soldier in the first row responded, took a step forward, glanced at everyone, and spoke in a bird language.

"Minasan, the target of this operation is a regimental-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army, located in Xuyang Village. According to reliable intelligence, there are only 500 Eighth Route Army soldiers guarding the entire Xuyang Village!"

Jiro Kimi, the vice-captain of Yamamoto's special forces.

After hearing what he said, the Japanese soldiers in the special forces team suddenly widened their eyes and looked at each other.

They were not so shocked because they thought the operation was too difficult, but because the target of the operation was just a regiment of the Eighth Route Army!

You know, the targets of the decapitation operations carried out by their Yamamoto Special Forces on a daily basis are all officers like the boss. When did a regimental commander ever need them to go out in person?

Thinking of this, a young Japanese soldier hesitated for a moment and then said loudly: "Captain, deputy captain, may I know why this operation targets a regimental commander?"

"Is it because this leader poses a big enough threat to the Empire's plans, or is it because we have failed so many times that the Empire has lost confidence in us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Japanese in the special forces team looked at Yamamoto Ikki intently.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Baka!"

"Our existence is to clear all obstacles for the empire!"

"Have you heard of the Eighth Route Army's special forces?"

"Have you heard of Qin Cang, the rising star of the Eighth Route Army?"

"The target of our mission this time is this person, the culprit who has sabotaged our operations many times in the past!"

"As long as they are eradicated, the Empire's plans in the northwest of Shanxi will be unimpeded, and the unification of China will be just around the corner!"

Yamamoto's words shocked the Japanese soldiers in the special forces team.

Special Forces! Qin Cang!

It wasn't the first time they had heard the name.

It can even be said that both the Special Forces and Qin Cang have become thorns in the eyes and hearts of these devils. They have fantasized about killing them completely countless times!

But now, the opportunity has come!

"Captain, please announce the action plan. We must completely eliminate Qin Cang and contribute our strength to the empire's layout in the northwest of Shanxi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Japanese soldiers responded in an instant.
