On an unknown hill, the car of Yamamoto's special agent team stopped here.

More than seventy special operations team members filed out of the car and stood neatly in three rows in front of the car.

They are all fully armed and their eyes are very sharp. Just standing there can make you feel an invisible murderous aura.

The last person to get out of the car was Kazuki Yamamoto. He closed the door and said to the communications soldier beside him: "Ask where the ninth brigade and the battlefield observation group are!"

"Hai!"

Signal Corps Captain Tanaka paused, then picked up the radio and called.

After a moment, Captain Tanaka said to Yamamoto Kazuki: "Report to Colonel, the 9th Brigade and the observation group have arrived at the Huting stronghold area!"

"Baga!" Kazuki Yamamoto yelled angrily, "Their advancement speed is too slow!"

"Tell the battlefield observers to speed up their march, otherwise they won't be able to watch a wonderful cat-and-mouse game!"

Then Captain Tanaka picked up the radio and called again.

After finishing, Captain Tanaka asked: "Colonel, should we continue moving forward now?"

Yamamoto Kazuki raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then looked up at the sky, walked up to a group of special forces members, and said sternly:

"From now on, you are no longer anyone's father, nor anyone's son, nor anyone's friend!"

"You are soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army!"

"You are members of the Yamamoto Special Forces!"

"The history of our First Army will be rewritten by you!"

"The goal is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the supreme commander of the North China Eighth Route Army at all costs!"

"Set off!"

Then, the Yamamoto special operations team members wearing jacket special combat uniforms and armed to the teeth all turned to the right, formed a formation and headed towards the mountain.

…

Huting stronghold.

The vanguard of the Japanese Ninth Brigade and the North China Expedition Army field observation group have arrived here.

Hattori Naoomi, the commander of the 29th North China Brigade, looked at the Huting stronghold that had not yet been renovated.

"Master Yuesheng, the combat effectiveness of your first army seems to have declined. Such a strong defense can be easily broken by the Chinese."

Hattori Naoomi, like most Japanese men, is short but strong in stature, and has the cold and determined look of a Japanese officer on his face.

The commander of the ninth brigade, Koshiki Toranosuke, is similar in stature to Hattori Naoomi, but his eyes have a hint of shrewdness and cunning.

Koshio Toranosuke said: "According to the investigation, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains seems to have heavy artillery, and our concrete bunker fortifications cannot withstand heavy artillery attacks."

Hattori Naoomi said disdainfully: "Tuba Road in the Taihang Mountains doesn't even have enough food to eat. How can it be possible to have heavy artillery? Mr. Yuesheng, are you too sensitive?"

"This matter is still under investigation." Koshiki Toranosuke said with a smile, "Hattori-kun, my brigade command post is located here, and then I will send the Takahashi Brigade to protect you and your observation group to the target.

Place."

"No need!" Naoomi Hattori refused, "You just need to tell me where it is, and the Kwantung Army's Nakamura Squadron will follow me there!"

Afterwards, Naoomi Hattori turned around and asked Toranosuke Koshiki: "Koshiki-kun, Lieutenant General Shinozuka seems to be acting for us. What exactly does he want us to see?"

Koshiki Toranosuke said: "General Shinozuka has always doted on his special forces. The ninth brigade and Sano-kun's fourth brigade are also under the command of Yamamoto-kun in this combat operation. Therefore, I don't know if I will watch until the end."

To something."

"That guy Yamamoto has always been arrogant." Naoomi Hattori said, "I hope his performance will not disappoint us!"

…

At the 129th Division headquarters, the radio station was beeping non-stop, and busy staff could be seen everywhere.

As the two Japanese brigades moved south, the entire Eighth Route Army of the 129th Division took action quickly.

Commander Liu was staring at the map with a magnifying glass, analyzing the enemy's situation based on the Japanese army's marching route.

A combat staff officer took the receiver and turned to Commander Liu and said: "Report to the Commander, Political Commissar Zhao of the Independent Regiment that Li Yunlong is staying in the 1st Battalion."

"There are only two battalions? What kind of discount can Li Yunlong give me!" Commander Liu said seriously: "Tell Zhao Gang to call Li Yunlong back immediately. If there is any problem with the security of the headquarters, the two of them will come to see me."

The combat staff replied: "Political Commissar Zhao said that the telephone squad was set up in Chenjiayu, and Li Yunlong could not be contacted for a while. Political Commissar Zhao said that without a battalion, the independent regiment was still fighting well, and he was determined to ensure the safety of the headquarters."

After hearing this, Master Liu personally walked to the phone, picked up the phone and said to Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, your main task in Chenjiayu is to guard against sneak attacks by small groups of enemies. The terrain there is very dangerous and you must not take it lightly. Yangcun

The lessons learned have proved that there is indeed an enemy who is good at mountain special operations. Li Yunlong and the First Battalion will report to me as soon as they have any news!"

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "This Li Yunlong, if the reins are loosened, he won't know where to go, and he can always cause some trouble for you."

…

In Chenjiayu, Zhao Gang hung up the phone and walked out of the house with a solemn expression. Then he immediately called Wei Dayong and Shen Quan over for a meeting.

Zhao Gang said: "The teacher and we have come up with the idea to let us guard against sneak attacks by small groups of Japanese in Chenjiayu. Do you two have any ideas?"

When it came to leading troops in battle, Zhao Gang also knew that he was relatively inexperienced and wanted to hear the opinions of the two battalion commanders, especially Wei Dayong.

Chen Quan expressed his position: "Not to mention a small group of Japs, there are all the Japs from the two brigades. If they want to pass through Chenjiayu, they have to step over the corpses of our Second Battalion!"

"Your courage is commendable." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "If you have any ideas on troop formation, please tell me."

Chen Quan said: "We have a large number of people in the second battalion. Political Commissar, you put us in front of the enemy and let Wei's special operations battalion take charge of the flanks."

However, Wei Dayong said: "I suggest setting up a pocket formation based on the terrain of Chenjiayu, so that the little devil can never come back."

Zhao Gang's expression changed: "Tell me what you think."

"This is what I think." Wei Dayong used a few stones to lay out the terrain of Chenjiayu. "We have blocked the path. If the Japanese want to pass by us, they can only climb up with ropes from the cliff. Our special operations camp is on top.

Waiting for them, the Second Battalion is ambushing on both sides of the cliff. In this way, we can form a three-sided attack on the Japanese. Once the Japanese jump in, they will become a turtle in the urn."

Zhao Gang nodded and said calmly: "Okay, let's do it!"

…

At this time, Li Yunlong had led the first battalion of the independent regiment, the cavalry company, the artillery company and thirty mule carts, accompanied by Chu Yunfei and his adjutant Sun Ming, and marched towards Jianshanzui on the Baijin Highway.
