Taiyuan, in front of the Japanese Army Headquarters.

The security is extremely tight, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

Japanese soldiers holding 38 big caps could be seen everywhere, standing upright.

In front of the headquarters, a sun flag fluttered in the cold wind.

Under the banner, stood the commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force, Yoshio Shinozuka.

His figure is the same as that of other people in Japan, with short and stout legs and a thick body. His battle suit and cape flutter on his back, and he has a samurai sword on his waist that symbolizes honor.

This saber is different from the samurai swords of other Japanese military officers because it is a samurai sword given by the Emperor.

In November 1910, Yoshio Shinozuka graduated from the 23rd class of Army University, ranking fifth!

Awarded a saber as a gift by the Emperor!

After that, he rose through the ranks with excellent results. He was first sent to the German Empire to study military affairs, and after returning home, he held important positions in the army.

In 1938, he led the 10th Division to participate in the Battle of Wuhan.

On September 7, 1939, he was appointed commander of the 1st Army and was stationed in North China.

He is now a lieutenant general.

Behind Shinozuka Yoshio, stood a group of young officers, all with the lowest rank of major.

One of them was slightly taller, incompatible with the surrounding officers, and had sharp eyes. He stood there like an unsheathed sword, with its sharp edge exposed!

He is the trump card in Yoshio Shinozuka's hand, Kazuki Yamamoto, the captain of the Yamamoto Special Forces.

Kazuki Yamamoto graduated from the Berlin Special Forces Academy and is an extremely experienced special operations expert.

He has more than 80 special forces members, all of whom are elites trained by the Munich Special Military Academy of the German Empire.

They are well-equipped and use the most advanced American M3 submachine guns.

In order to improve their strength, captured Chinese soldiers were also used as training tools.

However, Yamamoto Kazuki received a battle report one day ago. His squad leader Ichiro Watanabe and his special forces team, including ten special forces members, were killed with bare hands while conducting unarmed killing training in the prisoner of war camp!

Yamamoto Kazuki was extremely shocked when he received the battle report.

He is very confident in the strength of his men. Even if Watanabe Ichiro's team encounters the main force of the enemy, they will be able to protect themselves.

However, the team was completely wiped out in our own prisoner of war camp!

And he was killed with his bare hands!

Even the commander of North China's First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was alarmed by this incident.

There were not only ten special forces members in the prisoner of war camp, but also a small team of elite imperial troops.

More than sixty Imperial Army soldiers died in mysterious circumstances, and Yoshio Shinozuka must investigate them no matter what.

The sound of a motor sounded on the street corner.

After a while, a three-wheeled motorcycle and two Japanese army trucks appeared in sight.

A crooked machine gun was mounted on the motorcycle and car.

After the car parked, a group of Japanese soldiers dressed in white jumped on the car.

Ten stretchers were lifted from the car.

Under the white cloth on each stretcher, there was a corpse of a special operations team wearing a special operations uniform.

It was the ten Japanese special forces soldiers who were killed by Wei Dayong with his bare hands in the prisoner of war camp.

Ten corpses were lined up. Yamamoto Kazuki, wearing white gloves, stepped forward to conduct an autopsy in person.

Because of the severe cold weather, the body had not yet decomposed.

Kazuki Yamamoto lifted the white cloth and could clearly see the horrified expressions on the faces of each special operations team member before they died.

Then, walking up to Shinozuka Yoshio, Yamamoto Kazuki looked very ugly and bowed: "Your Excellency, General, all the team members were killed with bare hands. There are no other wounds on their bodies. They were all fatal with one blow!"

"It is very likely that there is a special force among the enemy forces!"

"And their combat quality is extremely high. I suggest that your Excellency, General, increase the defense strength of the headquarters!"

Yamamoto Kazuki could not have guessed that all ten of his special forces members would die at the hands of one person.

Moreover, when ten people hit one person at the same time, he was killed with his bare hands.

What he could think of was that the opponent was probably a special forces unit with extremely strong combat capabilities.

For Kazuki Yamamoto, who advocates special operations, he has no interest in minions like Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

Their target is China's highest military command post, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Although special operations was only an emerging military discipline during World War II, some military personnel who were interested in special operations emerged in military academies of various military powers.

Their military creed is that on the premise of acknowledging that great men create history, they will never ignore the possibility of small people creating history.

When the balance is in equilibrium, the weight of an ant can cause the balance to tilt.

So in the strategic balance, a surprise attack by a small force that has received special training, is well-equipped, and has extremely high combat qualities at a critical moment will also tilt the strategic balance.

Kazuki Yamamoto thinks.

If such a force really exists in the enemy's army.

Then, the opponent's target is likely to be the commander-in-chief of one's supreme headquarters—Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's expression changed slightly, "Were all these Imperial Army special forces members killed with bare hands?"

Unlike other commanders, Yoshio Shinozuka highly respected small groups of special operations because of his experience studying in the German Empire.

Although there are only more than 80 people in the Yamamoto Special Forces Team, he values ​​Yamamoto Kazuki very highly.

Under his banner, Yamamoto Special Forces belongs to the alliance organization.

It is equivalent to the Chinese regiment-level organization at the same period.

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto bowed and said, "For the safety of Your Majesty the General, the Yamamoto Special Forces will provide round-the-clock protection for the General!"

At this time, an officer behind Yoshio Shinozuka said disdainfully: "Your Majesty Yamamoto's reaction is too great!"

"The people in the defense headquarters are all elite military policemen of the Imperial Army. Not even a mosquito can fly in!"

"The Chinese army has been frightened by the imperial army. They only dare to huddle in the Taihang Mountains. How dare they come to sneak attack the headquarters!"
