My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 168 Yamamoto: Tubalu also knows about special operations!

"Before mid-August."

"Our department will carry out a beheading operation against the Japanese chief of staff of the North China Front, Major General Michiichi Miyano, who is full of evil and heinous crimes."

"Please prepare the coffin!"

"We are not responsible for collecting the bodies."

"And keep irrelevant personnel away to avoid accidental injuries."

Looking at the big words on the front page, Vincent felt a rush of blood coming out of his heart.

The Japanese army of millions invaded our land, massacred our people, and committed numerous crimes. Because the country's strength was inferior to that of others, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, allowing the murderers to run rampant.

Not to mention revenge, they even tried their best to save the remaining territory and failed to do so. The battlefield on the southern front is still losing ground.

At this time, this newspaper is the attitude it should have.

When facing an invader like the Japanese, this is how you should kill them directly, without talking nonsense, and kill them in front of the Japanese.

But with that comes worry.

Wouldn't this be too showy?

If it fails, the confidence foundation that the army has built up with great difficulty will disappear.

"This is real?"

He couldn't help but ask.

But think about it the other way around.

If successful, it will not only be a huge blow to the Japanese, but also a huge propaganda to the troops.

It can greatly enhance the morale of the troops, increase people's confidence in the Eighth Route Army, attract a large number of talents to join the Eighth Route Army, and further strengthen the strength of the troops.

In order to drive the Japanese out as soon as possible.

"of course."

"This operation will be personally directed by the leader of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong."

Shen Sheng vowed.

"Captain Li!"

Vincent muttered to himself.

In the previous issues of Xinhua News Agency, every time, it was Captain Li holding a machete and stepping on the Japanese flag.

Nobuyuki Sakata.

Masaru Hirata and other high-ranking Japanese officials all died at the hands of this man.

···

"Request to widen it to a minimum width of 3.5 meters, so that it can pass an 80-ton truck?"

at the same time.

On the road from Yangcun to Shangcun.

The road construction team belonging to the Taiyue Base Militia and Engineering Corps received a new task.

Further widen the highway starting from Yangcun and reaching Liao County.

This road is more than fifty kilometers long, most of which is in mountainous areas.

It was originally just some rugged mountain horse roads, which could barely pass even horse-drawn carriages. After the first round of widening, it is now possible to pass the Japanese trucks.

But the eighty-ton truck...

"This is a big project!"

"And the bridge needs to be reinforced in multiple layers!"

The commander of the militia engineer brigade couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He was originally the battalion commander of the independent regiment and now serves as the captain of the engineer brigade of the militia force.

The road has been further widened to a width of 3.5 meters, which can carry 80-ton trucks. This is no problem.

It's just that the amount of work is larger.

Today, in the Taiyue base area, the total number of militia troops registered and participating in training totals 77,000, which is almost one-third of the total population of the entire Taiyue base area.

Because he is not out of work, he usually has to go home and work, but thanks to the food subsidy, of course, it has now been replaced by a living allowance, and an equal amount of side currency is directly issued. Of course, you can also receive food directly.

Therefore, the training time has reached half that of regular troops.

Among them, there are as many as 37,000 engineering troops.

Thirty-seven thousand skilled engineering troops built a mere fifty kilometers of mountain roads without any problems.

After increasing the subsidy, the 37,000 people can devote themselves to construction work every day and no longer need to go home from time to time to do farm work. They use explosives and are under the guidance of experts from the regiment headquarters.

It is expected to be completed in half a month.

But there are three bridges in the more than 50 kilometers of highway.

A bridge that can carry 80 tons of traffic, without reinforced concrete, can only pile wood to strengthen the structure, and maintain sufficient manpower at all times for maintenance.

Among them, technical issues still require experts from the regiment headquarters.

It's a nuisance.

Even more troublesome,

These bridges will definitely be targeted by the Japanese, either by plane bombing or destroyed by spies and traitors.

but,

Trouble is trouble, but it is just trouble.

"Eighty-ton truck."

"You mean, our army will have an 80-ton truck?"

Quickly putting the trouble behind him, the captain of the militia brigade was filled with curiosity.

The Japs' truck has a load capacity of only 1.5 tons. Including its own weight, the total weight is only 4.5 tons.

Of course, cars are bicycles after all. In fact, it is no problem to tow more than two tons or even three tons of materials as long as the road is relatively flat.

But even if it carries three tons, it is only six tons that can reach the sky.

Eighty-ton truck··

One truck is equivalent to twenty Japanese trucks, equivalent to one Japanese transport squadron.

What does it look like?

He was full of curiosity.

···

"A truck loaded with more than eighty tons."

Same as the militia captain.

Zhang Wanhe, from the Logistics Department of the headquarters, is also full of curiosity about the upcoming truck that can haul 65 tons of cargo in one trip and can drive on muddy and unpaved roads.

A truck can carry sixty-five tons of cargo.

Zhang Wanhe can imagine.

It's just a matter of making the truck bigger, the engine bigger, and the cargo box bigger.

But it can also drive on muddy unpaved roads, maintaining a maximum daily range of more than 300 kilometers.

How can this be?

The heavier the truck, the higher the demand for road quality.

This is common sense.

Unless it's a track.

But the tracks require high maintenance, and Li Yunlong also said that the new truck has tires, and there are only eight tires.

“What kind of truck will it be?”

Zhang Wanhe murmured to himself.

Later MAZ-573 is a special heavy-duty military truck used by the Su family.

Central inflation and deflation.

special chassis,

All wheel steering.

Wait, all kinds of ultra-advanced technologies are applied to cars.

Its series of extended models often carry dozens of tons of missiles and maneuver on the vast Siberian plains. Their performance is so powerful that later generations of civilian vehicles cannot match it.

Its off-road capability is as strong as that of a tracked vehicle.

Likewise, it is also expensive.

Maintenance costs are also extremely high, and various specially-made parts and special maintenance equipment, including tires, are gold-eating beasts.

In other words, the system master can ignore the cost and have excellent technology. Otherwise, who can use this thing to transport goods on a large scale?

···

"Have you started building roads again?"

Recently, the Japanese have been keeping a close eye on the base area.

As soon as the large-scale expansion of roads in the base area began, the Japanese got news.

"Hi."

"Based on aerial reconnaissance and special high-tech intelligence."

"The Eighth Route Army is further widening the road from Yangcun to Liao County and further strengthening the bridges."

The staff officer replied.

"Are they planning to increase the transportation of food to other countries?"

Yoshio Shinozuka quickly speculated.

A known!

Yangcun, where the Independent Regiment is stationed, is the unloading point for external passage for supplies obtained by Tubal Road.

All supplies are handed over to Tubal Road here.

Then Tubal Road will transport it to other places.

The former method of transportation was unimaginable even to the Locust Army, but the latter was transported to other so-called Tubal base areas by Tubal people on horseback and horse-drawn carriages.

"Hmph!" Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly.

The empire is currently unable to cut off the source of foreign supplies on Tubal Road, nor can it annihilate the 386th Brigade entrenched in the Taiyue Mountains.

It is expected that the domestic reinforcements of nearly two divisions and the corresponding combat materials will not arrive in Beiping until mid-October or even late October, and then prepare for the attack.

It is estimated that the attack will not be launched until November or even December.

Only a winter offensive can solve Tubal Road.

But now the imperial army can't just watch.

Some actions must be taken to limit the further improvement of Tubalu's strength.

Since it is impossible to cut off foreign materials, then restrict the flow of these materials.

"Command Air Wing."

"Prepare to bomb the Eighth Route Army Highway."

After issuing the order, Yoshio Shinozuka pondered for a moment and said to his staff:

"Let Yamamoto Kazuki come for a visit."

Simple bombing will actually cause very limited damage to transportation.

However, the control in the Tubal Road base area is very strong.

With the current strength of the 386th Brigade and the Tubal Road in the Taihang area, unless he dispatches a brigade, even a full regiment may be swallowed up by the Tubal Road.

Due to the serious shortage of troops, it is not easy to mobilize brigade-level troops.

So he wanted to consult Yamamoto, a professional special operations expert, about how to disrupt transportation.

···

"General."

Ten minutes later.

Yamamoto Kazuki ran into the headquarters with a trace of panic.

He held a newspaper in his hand.

It is the latest version of Xinhua News Agency.

"what happened?"

Seeing Yamamoto's expression, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

Who is Yamamoto?

That's a guy who doesn't change his face even if the sky falls.

Who is it that can make this person's complexion change drastically?

"General, read this newspaper."

Yamamoto handed the newspaper in his hand to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Tuba Road is going to launch an attack on Chief of Staff Miyano in early August?"

When he saw the front page headline of the latest edition of Xinhua News Agency, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly had a strange expression.

Then he glanced at Yamamoto and said calmly:

"What's there to be nervous about?"

"Chief of Staff Miyano's security is comparable to mine."

"Unless Tubalu can obtain his precise itinerary, it will be impossible to succeed."

"This newspaper must have been used by Tubal Road to bluster the Imperial Locust Army, to boost that person's morale."

Yoshio Shinozuka sounded confident.

Although Hirata, the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, ruled that the colonel died at the hands of Li Yunlong, it was an accident.

As the North China Front Army with independent combat power, the Chief of Staff has more power than an ordinary division commander. The North China Front Army's security force is specifically responsible for security, and is also assisted by intelligence departments such as THT.

Tubalu wants to take action, but it is absolutely impossible.

"General."

Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head and said:

"Theoretically, it is impossible for Tobali to launch an attack on Chief of Staff Miyano."

"But General."

"Theoretically, it is impossible for Tubal Road to obtain more than 200,000 tons of grain and various military supplies."

"It is also impossible to capture the Imperial Alliance flag three times in a row."

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka's expression suddenly changed.

Became extremely solemn.

Yes,

Logically speaking, the Eighth Route Army could not successfully launch an attack on Chief of Staff Miyano.

But there is one thing that common sense can understand about the recent events on Tubal Road?

Not to mention those supplies.

Even the regiment flag, which the empire believed could never be captured by the enemy, was captured three times in a row. It was as if Tuba Road had spies in the Imperial Locust Army and could know the real-time location of the regiment flag.

In the unlikely event that Tuba Road has a spy lurking next to Chief of Staff Miyano, he will report the location and itinerary of Chief of Staff Miyano to the Eighth Route Army.

So···

"When will Chief of Staff Miyano come to Yangquan?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked quickly.

He suddenly remembered that eight of his chiefs of staff, the chiefs of staff of the First Army, had died in Yangquan in a row!

If the Chief of Staff of the North China Front died in Yangquan again.

I'm afraid he won't be able to serve as commander of the First Army for long.

"Three days later."

Kazuki Yamamoto answered immediately.

"You take charge of this."

"After you draw up a plan to strengthen security, give me a copy of the plan."

Shinozuka Yoshio asked Yamamoto Kazuki to be responsible for strengthening security.

"Hi!"

Yamamoto Kazuki bowed his head in agreement.

When returning to his office, Kazuki Yamamoto had a strange expression - vaguely, there was actually a hint of approval.

In fact, it's nothing if a chief of staff is broken.

General Abe Guixiu was also shattered.

What impact will a major general's jade have?

There are many officers in the Locust Army.

There are thousands of them. In the reserves, there are countless officers waiting to be promoted!

It is not even as good as a brigade being wiped out, which would cause huge losses to the North China Front.

As for Chief of Staff Yusei, the impact on the morale of the grassroots of the North China Front Army Locust Army was due to the baptism of Bushido. Locust Army soldiers generally believed that death was an honor.

It can be eliminated easily.

This is also the reason why the first army's eight consecutive chiefs of staff and deputy chiefs of staff Yu Sui failed to affect morale.

Eight chiefs of staff in a row were attacked by Tubal Road to pieces?

Let’s put it another way.

The Chief of Staff of the First Army fought for the empire, taking the lead and going deep into the front line. In the end, he was torn to pieces for the empire.

It can even boost morale!

But now Tubal Road has publicly announced in the newspaper that it will launch an attack on Chief of Staff Miyano, directly amplifying the impact of this matter to the greatest extent.

This is no longer a question of whether the major general's chief of staff will die or not.

This is a direct confrontation between Tubal Road and the Locust Army.

If Chief of Staff Miyano survives, the Locust Army will win, and the Eighth Route Army will still be regarded as a joke.

But if Chief of Staff Miyano dies, the Locust Army will lose.

And it was a disastrous failure.

It was a fatal blow to the morale of the Locust Army, a blow that Bushido could not eliminate.

From now on, the officers of the Locust Army will be in constant panic.

"Great!"

When he returned to his office, Yamamoto couldn't help but admire him.

Behead!

Standard tactics in special operations.

Generally used for important goals.

The chief of staff is actually not an important target because he is too replaceable.

But it is too difficult for the commander to do it.

Yamamoto had been troubled by this theory in the past.

Targets that can be achieved are not worth taking action on, and targets that are worth taking action are too difficult.

Now Tubalu gave him an answer.

That is to use public opinion to expand the influence of unworthy targets. Simply put, it is to make things bigger.

Yamamoto murmured to himself: "Tubalu also knows about special operations!"
