Yamamoto saw the expressions on the team members' faces and understood that his authority in the special agent team was challenged during the battle at Chenjiayu.

"We have not failed yet. The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible!" Yamamoto said sternly to the remaining team members, "The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army must be behind Chenjiayu. As long as we go around from other places, we will definitely be able to successfully attack!"

Yamamoto was unwilling to fail like this. If he went back in despair, not only his special agent team, but also the entire First Army would become a laughing stock among the Japanese army.

The vice-captain worriedly asked: "Colonel, what should we do with the injured team members?"

Yamamoto looked over and saw that his sniper's back was leaning on the edge of the rock, and one of his palms had been damaged.

A medical soldier was bandaging the sniper. His blood was almost dry, his lips were chapped, his face was extremely pale, and he looked like he might die at any time.

Yamamoto said to the sniper with a cold expression: "Tanihara-kun, you know what to do!"

Sniper Tanihara looked at Yamamoto weakly, took out a pistol from the holster on his waist with his left hand, turned on the safety, and slowly pointed the muzzle at his temple.

"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Snapped--!

There was a gunshot, and Tan Yuan's head was penetrated by a pistol bullet, and two bloody holes burst out in his temple.

When the Yamamoto agents looked at this scene, mist appeared in their eyes and they looked sad.

Yamamoto's team members paused and said: "Everyone, please, let's go!"

The murderous agents launched a desperate sneak attack on opponents who were at least dozens of times their number.

…

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the boss silently watched the marching routes of the 4th and 9th Brigades on the map.

The red and blue arrows indicating the enemy's situation are intertwined.

It's really strange. The Japs from the two brigades couldn't have come to the Taihang Mountain base area to break out, right?

The Japanese ninth brigade stopped and stationed near the Huting stronghold, while the leading troops of the fourth brigade have advanced to the outskirts of the base area and are still moving forward.

"I have been fighting for a lifetime. I don't know which song the Japanese are singing this time. There is no order at all."

Afterwards, the boss said to a combat staff officer: "Tell Commander Liu to focus on attacking his fourth brigade's sudden advance, and then leave after the attack, and see how it responds!"

The combat staff officer said: "Boss, the division commander has repeatedly told us that only when the headquarters withdraws from its current position can he let go and fight!"

The boss said: "Tell Mr. Liu that I have two legs and can walk at any time, so that they can let go of their hands and feet and reveal the enemy's true intentions!"

The combat staff replied: "Yes!"

After receiving the order, the 129th Division Headquarters passed the order to the 386th Brigade.

Brigadier Chen had long wanted to fight. The Fourth Brigade was the sworn enemy of the 386th Brigade. The two sides had fought several times, and both sides hated each other deeply.

The Bantian regiment that was defeated by Li Yunlong's new regiment in Cangyunling belonged to the fourth brigade.

Brigadier Chen gave this task to the 772nd Regiment. Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment had already held his breath and vowed to wash away the shame of the last battle of Lijiapo.

He led his troops to ambush the vanguard of the fourth brigade.

An elite Japanese soldier who strengthened the squadron advanced cautiously, using a gun to force an old farmer herding sheep to lead the way.

The old farmer led the Japanese into the ambush circle of the 772nd Regiment. Following the order from the commanders and soldiers of the 772nd Regiment, the 772th Regiment ambushing on both sides suddenly opened fire.

In less than fifteen minutes, more than 200 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, and all their weapons, equipment and even clothes were stripped away by the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment.

When brigade commander Sano Tadayoshi arrived with a large force, he only saw the naked corpses of Japanese soldiers strewn on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Sano Tadayoshi's nose was so angry that he was about to find several villages to massacre them to vent his anger, but was told that all the villagers had been transferred away by the Eighth Route Army.

Although Sano Tadayoshi wanted to take revenge, the soldiers did not carry much rations, so he had to stay where he was and wait for supplies from the rear before making any plans.

…

The mountains in southeastern Shanxi are very barren, with almost no vegetation, only dots of drought-tolerant shrubs, exposed iron-green rocks, and weathered gravel everywhere.

Major General Naoomi Hattori, commander of the 29th Brigade, and his observation group were taken to the top of a mountain by a second lieutenant from the 4th Brigade.

A high-powered military telescope is set up on the top of the mountain. Through this high-powered telescope, you can see far away.

Hattori Naoomi waited on the top of the mountain all morning, and until noon, he did not see the so-called cat catching mouse show.

Even the members of the observation group he brought, more than a hundred young Japanese officers, lost the freshness they had at the beginning, with a slightly impatient look on their faces.

At this time, a second lieutenant from the Ninth Brigade drove to the foot of the mountain and ran all the way to the top of the mountain.

Arriving in front of Naoomi Hattori, the second lieutenant paused and said: "Your Excellency, General, there is news from Colonel Yamamoto that they have encountered a little trouble. Please wait patiently!"

"Nani?" Naoomi Hattori asked, "Has Yamamoto-kun said how long we have to wait?"

Hattori Naoomi was originally a arrogant person, and he couldn't bear to be commanded by Yamamoto, who had a lower military rank than him, and his patience was almost worn out.

This time he was sent to Shanxi by Shun Tada, commander of the North China Front Army, to learn Kazuki Yamamoto's special operations.

Many people among the top brass of the Japanese military do not trust so-called special operations.

"This... Colonel Yamamoto didn't say that, General!" the second lieutenant officer lowered his head and said, "Our brigade commander has instructed you to rest where you are first!"

"Second Lieutenant!" Naoomi Hattori said angrily, "Don't you think it's too much to let us rest in this wilderness?"

"Hai!" The second lieutenant lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"We have to go to that mountain. At least let us see Yamamoto-kun's special forces. Otherwise, what are we, the army elites, doing here? Are you watching your ninth brigade direct traffic?"

The mountain top that Hattori Naoomi pointed to was the highest mountain in the area. It didn't look that far away, but it was six or seven kilometers away.

The second lieutenant hurriedly said: "General, we are already thirty miles away from the brigade command post. It will be very dangerous to go any further!"

"Baga!" Naoomi Hattori said angrily, "We are protecting the Eastern Army. There is no danger. You should lead the way from the front, hurry up!"

"Hai!" The second lieutenant had no choice but to bow his head and lead the way obediently.

The observation group consisted of a major general, four colonels, and more than 100 officers of the rank of sergeant and lieutenant. Under the protection of about 180 Kwantung Army members, they headed toward Yunshan in a mighty manner.
