Bai Jin Highway, Tsim Shan Tsui.

Li Yunlong took advantage of the gap between Japanese vehicles passing by and led the first battalion and artillery battery to move forward slowly.

Finally, they ambush themselves on Tsim Shan Tsui at noon.

An elite Japanese and Japanese regiment just passed by here in the morning. The Japanese could not even imagine that there was an ambush here.

The First Battalion now has 600 people. Li Yunlong has equipped the First Battalion with more than 30 submachine guns. Its firepower is second only to the Special Operations Battalion in the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei lay on the commanding heights with dead grass on their heads, observing the situation on the Baijin Highway with binoculars.

Chu Yunfei looked at the end of the road with his binoculars from time to time and whispered: "Captain Li, I have a question to ask you."

Li Yunlong asked: "What's the problem?"

Chu Yunfei asked: "You have neither intelligence support nor instructions from your superiors. How do you think the Japanese transport team will definitely come? Why do you rely on intuition or something else?"

"It's very simple." Li Yunlong chuckled, "It's because my opponent doesn't know how powerful I, Li Yunlong, am!"

Chu Yunfei coughed and said, "Commander Li should say something I can understand."

Li Yunlong said seriously: "Commander Chu, do you know how much rations a Japanese soldier carries?"

Chu Yunfei thought: "It seems like six days?"

"That's right, every time the Japanese send troops to fight, they bring six days of rations." Li Yunlong said, "It took the Fourth Brigade four and a half days to get here from Yangquan. In other words, there is still a day and a half at most.

The supplies will be sent later, otherwise the Japs in the Fourth Brigade will have to fight hungry."

This time the Japanese sent troops very strangely. There were only two brigades, and they came from different directions towards the Eighth Route Army base area in Taihang Mountain.

It was neither an offensive posture nor a sweeping attack. Even the veteran boss was a little confused by the Japanese's style of play.

This gave Li Yunlong an opportunity to lead his troops around to the rear of the Fourth Brigade.

This was actually what Wei Dayong thought of. As soon as Wei Dayong said it, Li Yunlong instantly understood what he was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud at the time.

After Li Yunlong said this, Chu Yunfei understood instantly and had to admire Wei Dayong and Li Yunlong's careful thinking.

Chu Yunfei suddenly said: "That's it!"

Chu Yunfei actually didn't think much of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics, so he didn't think about it.

However, he still had some doubts in his heart. Will the Japanese transport team really come?

…

Japanese Army battlefield observation group.

Colonel Kitahara Sosuke asked Hattori Naomi: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I heard that the Nakamura Squadron of the Kwantung Army came to North China this time to deliver a batch of new weapons to your Yamashita Division?"

"Yes, Kitahara-kun." Hattori Naoomi said, "It is a new type of weapon with great power, but it is still in the research stage. If your Kitahara unit wants to use it, I am afraid it will have to wait for a while."

"Oh? What kind of weapon is it?" Kitahara Sosuke asked, "Is it more powerful than aerial bombs and heavy artillery?"

Hattori Naoomi asked: "Kitahara-kun, what do you think of the power of poison gas bombs?"

Kitahara Sosuke replied: "Poison gas bombs are naturally very powerful. It only takes ten poison gas shells to make thousands of soldiers without gas masks lose their combat effectiveness."

Hattori Naoomi said: "Just one new weapon can kill everyone within a thirty-mile radius."

Kithara Sosuke said with a shocked face: "This... is too powerful!"

"It's a pity that this kind of bacterial weapon has not been fully manufactured yet." Hattori Naoomi said, "The Kwantung Army only shipped equipment and samples. Let us first use living people as test subjects to see the effect."

Beihara said: "If such weapons can be produced in large quantities, wouldn't the imperial army be able to permanently eliminate future troubles to public security in North China?"

Hattori Naoomi smiled and said: "That's natural!"

Afterwards, Hattori Naoomi asked Kitahara Sosuke again: "Kitahara-kun, what do you think of the special operations promoted by Yamamoto-kun?"

Kitahara replied: "I have only heard of the term special operations. It seems to be an emerging military discipline in European and American countries. However, I believe that only by gathering large groups to fight can we destroy the enemy's army and achieve the goal of winning the war.

!”

"Hey!" Naoomi Hattori said, "Kitahara-kun, I have the same view as you!"

Colonel Kitahara said: "I have always had a question, and I would like to ask your Excellency, the brigade commander, to clarify it for me!"

Hattori Naoomi said: "Kitahara-kun, please tell me."

"On the current European battlefield, the individual weapons of all the major warring countries are mainly automatic weapons. For example, submachine guns of the Yamamoto Special Forces have been equipped in large quantities by various countries. Why do our Imperial Army still use a large number of five-round ammunition?

Type 38 rifle?”

Kitahara Sosuke expressed the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

Not only Kitahara Sosuke, but many officers in the Japanese army felt that those officials responsible for ordnance production were rigid-minded and senile.

Hattori Naoomi sighed and said: "Our Empire of Japan is a resource-poor country. If we equip automatic weapons, it will greatly increase the cost of combat."

"Based on the 150 rounds of ammunition carried by an individual soldier, the Type 38 rifle may be able to sustain a day of combat, but a continuous-fire submachine gun cannot withstand an hour."

"If one million troops are equipped with submachine guns, then with our existing resources, productivity and transportation capacity."

"Logistics support must be expanded tenfold to be able to support such a high-cost station battle!"

"And such a high-cost battle for stations is not something the current empire can afford. Mr. Kitahara, do you understand?"

"Hai!" Colonel Kitahara said first, "Listening to the brigade commander's words is worth ten years of reading!"

This flattery made Naoomi Hattori very happy. He smiled and said: "Kitahara-kun, thank you!"

Like Hattori Naoomi and Kitahara Sosuke, the other officers were walking leisurely, chatting and pointing everywhere.

They had no idea that they had been watched by several Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Wang Xikui lay on the top of the hill, observed with a telescope for a long time, and said to Ge Erdan behind him: "Erdan, go and report to the battalion commander that there are about 300 Japs ahead, including 100 Japs officers, walking towards us.

Come here, it’s 4 miles away!”

"Yes!" Ge Erdan responded and ran towards the back.

After giving the order, Wang Xikui, Yang Dahe and Wang Gensheng lay down on the spot and continued to observe.

Wei Dayong led a battalion on a rapid march towards the Baijin Highway. The Langya Squadron was the leading soldier he sent out to explore the road ahead and keep a distance of 1.5 kilometers from the main force.

Ge Erdan ran all the way to Wei Dayong: "Report...report to the battalion commander, 300 Japs were found ahead, 100 of them are Japs officers, 4 miles away!"

Wei Dayong heard this and asked hurriedly: "Erdan, did you read that correctly, are they 100 Japanese officers?"

"That's right!" Ge Erdan said, "Those Japs wear different clothes. They are easy to recognize and can be seen at a glance!"

Wei Dayong looked happy and shouted: "All soldiers of the special operations battalion, prepare to fight!"
