My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 98 The Shandao Alliance is here!

"He Tianjun!"

Inside the First Army Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka spoke in a warm tone:

"It's already late May, and there are only three days left before the end of the month. How is the investigation going on about the large amount of supplies obtained from Tuba Road in Taiyue Mountain District?"

Suddenly,

The person in charge of the Intelligence Section of the First Army, Colonel Kaeda Enji, suddenly had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

It is well known that the softer the tone of Imperial commanders, the more severe the consequences.

If you ask directly in a stern tone, or even get angry when you meet, that's fine. At most, you'll be slapped or severely criticized, but there won't be any substantial punishment.

But now the commander's tone was as gentle as family.

The big drops of sweat on his forehead became more and more dense.

The Kitai Battalion was annihilated, so there was no big problem, but the large number of new 82 mortars that appeared in the battle made Yoshio Shinozuka realize that something was wrong.

Take the situation of the Eighth Route Army.

Even if that group of people obtains some light weapons and some food, it will not be a problem. The essence is still a public security problem, but it is more serious than before, and the empire's control over the mountainous area is more loose.

Rail and road transport problems have only worsened.

It's not difficult to deal with.

But the mysterious sponsor behind the Eighth Route Army seems to be further assisting the weapons and equipment, starting to develop into more powerful and larger numbers.

If this continues, Shinozuka Yoshio feels that one day, the Tubal Road will be able to fight the Locust Army head-on. Even if it is a part, it can only fight head-on with a brigade, or at most a C-level division.

But that's still a huge problem.

Will the North China Occupied Area be upgraded from a security issue to an issue of ownership of the occupied area, or even develop into a second front line?

It will seriously aggravate the problem of insufficient military strength in the empire!
The empire's plan to establish a North China military station will come to nothing!

It is now the end of May [-].

The Hundred Regiments War has not yet begun. Neither the high-level Japs headquarters nor officers at all levels in North China have ever looked squarely at the Eighth Route Army, which has been hiding in the mountains for three years.

"General."

Kaeda Enji wiped the cold sweat that was flowing from his forehead:
"There are currently no valid clues."

When he said this, Heda Enji felt full of grievance and helplessness.

The First Army belongs to the North China Front Army, with a total strength of more than 7 people. It is responsible for the jurisdiction of the entire Shanxi Province, and is responsible for the security work of the Zhengtai Line from the south of Jingxing, as well as the entire Tongpu Line Railway.

Intelligence is powerful.

Especially in Shanxi.

The entire base area established by Tubal Road in the Taiyue Mountains is within the territory of Shanxi and is within the control of the First Army.

According to known intelligence, the underground forces of the Eighth Route Army have established several transportation channels that secretly connect the so-called base areas to the outside world. They call them underground transportation lines, connecting them one by one at transportation stations.

The Imperial Army cannot yet be completely destroyed.

But the underground is underground after all, and it can only transport some people and a small amount of materials in a concealed manner.

It stands to reason that any large-scale material transportation cannot avoid the eyes of the imperial army.

However, tens of thousands of tons of grain, hundreds of tons of weapons, ammunition and military supplies, and the latter may be more than that, estimated to be thousands of tons, entered the Taiyue Mountains and reached the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but the First Army Intelligence Department was not aware of it.

After several months of investigation, it seemed as if those materials appeared directly in the Taiyue Mountains.

Simply incredible.

He also contacted the superior of the First Army and the head of the intelligence section of the North China Front Army, but the other party found nothing.

I also sought help from a professional intelligence agency and the North China Special High School. The other party actually started investigating this matter a month ago, but they also had no clues. They had no clue as to the source or transportation route of the materials.

At this point, it was no longer a problem that Enji Kaeda could solve, and he couldn't even think of a specific solution.

The only way is to start from within the Eighth Route Army.

"That's all I know for now."

Seeing his general's brows furrowing, Enji Kaeda quickly spit out all the information he had recently investigated:
"All the supplies come from the Taiyue Mountains and are related to Li Yunlong."

"The guerrillas around the Taiyue Mountain area have all gone to the independent regiment's station to receive supplies."

"The Independent Regiment seems to be the material storage center of their Taiyue Military Region."

"Materials storage center!"

This term made Yoshio Shinozuka shine brightly.

In modern military theory, the first priority during confrontation is to destroy the enemy's logistics supplies.

Several attacks in the southern part of the empire failed because the logistics supply caused by the long front line could not meet the needs of the troops. In comparison, insufficient troops were a secondary reason. "right."

Enji Kaeda took out his investigation materials, which were only a few thin pages:
"Almost all supplies flow out from the independent regiment's position, not just food, but also supplies."

"According to some people who surrendered to the Empire, many so-called county brigades and district brigades in the Taiyue Mountains went to the independent regiment's headquarters and received grenades, and they were all German-made grenades."

"Military uniforms and military shoes are also received from the independent regiment station."

"In the official document issued by them, the independent regiment is called the Taiyue Military Region Logistics Warehouse Center, responsible for the supply of logistics supplies for the entire [-]th Brigade."

"Where is the location?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a warm tone:
"The location of the independent regiment, the location of the regiment headquarters, and the location of the main warehouse group?"

Aerial reconnaissance revealed that there were some warehouses in Yangcun, but those warehouses could store several thousand tons of grain at most, which was simply not enough.

"It's not clear yet."

Kaeda Enji continued to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Where is the Independent Regiment?"

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to ask, his tone still warm.

"Their main activities are in Yangcun and Shangcun areas."

Kaeda Enji replied.

"Yangcun Shangcun is where the road was built, right?"

Shinozuka Yoshio asked again, his tone remained unchanged.

"Correct."

Kaeda Enji nodded, feeling relieved and the cold sweat on his forehead finally stopped.

His investigation has made almost no progress or clues, but until now, the commander has not lost his temper, indicating that the commander does not intend to pursue this matter.

"very good."

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly smiled and said to Enji Kaeda:
"Mr. Hetian, it is May 27th, and there are still three days before the end of the month!"

"··Hi!"

Cold sweat rolled down Hetian Yuaner's head again.

"Continue to investigate."

"In three days, I need information."

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and signaled Kaeda Enji to leave.

Later, Yoshio Shinozuka called the chief of staff:
"Order the No. 20 Ninth Regiment to have the Shandao Regiment assemble to annihilate Li Yunlong and the independent regiment entrenched in Yangcun and Shangcun, regain the Xiazhuang stronghold, and establish the Shangcun and Yangcun strongholds."

"Hi!"

The chief of staff bowed his head and accepted the order.

···
"brigadier."

at the same time.

Brigade.

The brigade chief of staff sounded worried:
"The devils are coming together as a team."

"It won't be difficult for us to concentrate our forces and kill them."

"Not counting the main force group, we have seven main force groups and fifteen thousand combat troops. Moreover, the weapons and ammunition that Li Yunlong obtained successively add up to a thousand tons."

"However, the Japanese will definitely send out brigades or even divisions in the future."

"What will we do then?"

"How to do?"

The brigade commander smiled softly:
"That's not what you should do."

"We are the Eighth Route Army, and we have not lost our housekeeping skills!"

"Guerrilla warfare?"

"But supplies..."

Speaking of this, the chief of staff suddenly understood.

Yes.

Although the weapons and equipment of the [-]th Brigade have improved and their combat effectiveness has increased, the lightly-armed Eighth Route Army can easily take away the belongings of a regiment.

The food and other logistical supplies needed every month are all at Li Yunlong's side!
