Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 583
Yoshio Shinozuka's No. A battle plan is of course not a simple drag-net sweep, which is so uninnovative, and he has long anticipated Okamura Neiji's words, which is exactly what he wants.

Immediately he said calmly: "Your Excellency, Commander, how to break the Eighth Route Army into parts and break through separately is the core content of the No. A battle plan!"

"Oh? Really?" Neiji Okamura finally became interested, and this was exactly what he was concerned about, so he said again: "In that case, then you might as well talk about how to break the Eighth Route Army's division into parts."

"Hi!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused for a moment, and then said, "The method is very simple. It is to form a large number of special forces to conduct reconnaissance and positioning of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, division headquarters, and even brigade and regiment headquarters."

"And then guide the main force of the sweeping imperial army to strike it precisely!"

"As long as the imperial army destroys the Eighth Route Army's headquarters, divisions, brigades, and even regiment headquarters."

"Then the Eighth Route Army in the bandit areas of Taihang and Taiyue will lose their unified and effective command, and become a group of headless chickens, falling into the predicament of fighting on their own, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced."

"At that time, the mopping-up Imperial Army troops will be able to use squadrons or even squads as units to carry out more intensive drag-net sweeps, and defeat the small groups of the Eighth Route Army one by one!"

"As long as we sweep back and forth like this a few times, even if we can't wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area, it will be enough to injure them so that they can no longer pose any threat to the imperial army."

"At that time, the imperial army can concentrate on dealing with the Central Army of China, conquer the Chiang government, and the creation of the Greater East Asia Glory Circle is just around the corner!"

As he spoke, Yoshio Shinozuka's voice gradually rose, and a little smug expression appeared on his face involuntarily.

This set of tactics is a solution that he gathered the brains of the entire 1st Army and thought about it for a long time before coming up with it.

The old devil was very sure that there could be no better choice except for the No. A battle plan.

In fact, if there were better options, the Japanese army in North China would no longer have to worry about how to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

However, after listening to Yoshio Shinozuka's narration, Neiji Okamura's old face darkened in an instant, and even his eyes became colder than ever. He was really angry.

"Xiaozuka-kun, haven't you played enough?"

"Play?" Shinozuka Yoshio looked confused. He originally thought that Okamura Neiji would appreciate him greatly after listening to his narration, and then readily adopted his No. A battle plan, but he didn't expect the other party to be angry. Can't help but look puzzled: "Your Excellency Commander, what do you mean by this?"

"Am I wrong?" Okamura Ningji's face was still gloomy: "That guy Kazuki Yamamoto said it well, but he did it in a mess. It's completely empty talk!"

"Because of his stupidity, Hattori-kun and 6 other imperial commanders were captured. In addition, more than 10 imperial minors and more than 200 excellent grassroots commanders of the empire were killed!"

"This is simply the biggest shame in the history of the empire!"

"It's been so long, I don't want to worry about it anymore, but I didn't expect you to have the face to bring it up again!"

Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly argued: "Your Excellency, Commander, Kazuki Yamamoto was not responsible for the ambushe of the field observation group.

Because I have repeatedly reminded Hattori-kun not to lean too far forward, just observe from a safe position, but he just didn't listen, and insisted on going deep into the front line, which led to him falling into the ambush circle set up by the Eighth Route Army. "

Neiji Okamura: "Okay, even if Kazuki Yamamoto was not involved in the annihilation of the field observation group, can Kazuki Yamamoto achieve convincing results?"

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the Yamamoto Special Forces did not achieve convincing results, they still showed their due value in the raid on Mansion Bay a few months ago."

"At that time, the Yamamoto Special Service Team encountered the newly transferred Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Yangcun. With an absolutely inferior force, they killed more than 200 Eighth Route Army troops, but the Yamamoto Special Service Team had no casualties."

"I really can't think of any other unit that can achieve such a result, except for the Yamamoto Special Forces."

Even if Neiji Okamura was not optimistic about Kazuki Yamamoto and his special operations, he could not deny their achievements in the Yangcun encounter.

Shinozuka Yoshio saw that Neiji Okamura no longer denied the Yamamoto Secret Service, and continued: "Moreover, according to reliable information, the Eighth Route Army also formed a special warfare unit. During the Hundred Regiments War, the armored trains of the Imperial Army were killed This special warfare unit of the Eighth Route Army snatched it.

It was precisely because the armored train was robbed that the imperial army failed in subsequent battles. "

"This also proves the role of special forces and special operations from the side. They can completely influence the outcome of a war!"

"Moreover, only special operations troops can deal with the special operations troops of the Eighth Route Army."

Neiji Okamura finally wavered a little. He hesitated for a moment and said: "However, forming a special force is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Even if the imperial army has such energy and financial resources, I'm afraid they don't have that much time."

"No, no, no!" Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head: "It is indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive to form an elite special operations force like the Yamamoto Special Forces, but if you only perform some simple tasks, such as tracking and locating the command organizations at all levels of the Eighth Route Army, etc. , then the general special operations forces are more than capable.”

"So, we only need to use the Yamamoto Special Forces as a model to create some low-profile versions of special forces."

"In this way, not only the cost can be greatly reduced, but also the time can be greatly reduced!"

"With Yamamoto-kun and his special service team as instructors, I believe that within a month, several low-profile special service teams can be trained."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't know that Kazuki Yamamoto and his secret service team had been wiped out in Zhaojiayu, and that the Japanese army would sweep the Eighth Route Army's Taihang base area, and the preparatory work would take at least a month.

Ningji Okamura immediately regained his spirits: "Xiaozuka-kun, are you saying that this kind of low-profile special warfare unit can be formed within a month?"

"Hi Yi!" Shinozuka Yoshio nodded heavily: "One month is enough, this kind of low-profile special warfare unit can be called an advance team!"

Neiji Okamura was finally moved. The performance of the Yamamoto Special Forces may have disappointed him, but it was still a special operations force after all, and its combat effectiveness was beyond doubt.

This point can be proved by the Yangcun encounter.

Under the same conditions, they can completely fight one against ten, and under certain conditions, they can even fight against one hundred.

Moreover, the capabilities they can perform infiltration, raids, decapitation and other tasks are not possessed by conventional troops.

The reason why Okamura Ningji copied the Yamamoto Secret Service in this way is mainly because he had placed too high expectations on the Yamamoto Special Service, but the Yamamoto Special Service failed to give him enough in return.

In addition, the cost of forming and training the Yamamoto special team is too high.

The funds of a secret agent can almost support a squadron of devil soldiers...
