Chapter 266 Female Spy!
Zhao Gang's tone and expression were slightly dignified.

As we all know, the Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness is very strong.

Especially an elite Kwantung Army brigade, it is even more powerful.

The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly, he was very familiar with fighting the Kwantung Army.

Before Zhao Gang came to Xinyituan as political commissar, he did business with Chen Feng once.

Killing 2 Kwantung Army squadrons and blowing up a large number of gas bombs they carried, the price last time was 4 sets of cotton clothes, this time it was 6 sets.

The Kwantung Army seems to be powerful in combat, but it is not without weaknesses. It is well-trained and rigid.

Other Japanese troops rarely retreat bullets before hand-to-hand combat, but the Kwantung Army likes to retreat bullets before hand-to-hand combat.

But for the current Xinyi regiment, it doesn't matter whether the Kwantung Army retreats bullets before hand-to-hand combat.

Because the new regiment will not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Kwantung Army, the firepower of semi-automatic rifles is not a joke.

Zhao Gang said: "The information also said that the Kwantung Army will carry a certain amount of ammunition, but the exact amount is unknown."

"If it succeeds, it seems that this time we can not only earn a share from the business, but also seize a share from the devil."

Zhao Gang sighed in a tone, life is really good with assistance, as long as you win the battle, you will not suffer at all.

The consumption of weapons and ammunition will be reimbursed by brother Chen, and a share will be captured if the battle is won.

Of course, the premise is to win the battle. If you lose the battle, not only will you not be reimbursed for the weapons and ammunition, but you will not be seized.

Li Yunlong asked: "What about the place and time?"

Zhao Gang said: "Brother Chen has prepared the Kwantung Army's marching route map. This Kwantung Army will basically march towards Yangquan along the Zhengtai Highway. The time is set for the 6th of next month."

"Then this first business is not too difficult." Leader Li Mulu pondered, "Let's find an ambush point on the Zhengtai Highway that day and wait for the rabbit."

"What about the second business?" Li Yunlong asked.

Zhao Gang said: "According to the information prepared by Brother Chen, Masao Hirata, the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front Army, will come to Niangziguan Railway Station for inspection in 15 days. The business requirement is to kill this devil. This devil is a major general. In addition to the deposit of 1 gas masks, there are 3 gas masks and one air support."

A sharp light flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes: "Another major general!"

The deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army can be said to be the No. [-] figure in the Japanese army in North China.

This major general is much more valuable than the devil's brigade commander.

Even without 4 sets of gas masks and an air support, after getting this information, Li Yunlong would try every means to kill him.

Zhao Gang said: "Two businesses, as long as one of them is not completed, both businesses will be void."

Li Yunlong asked: "Is there a specific time when this devil will arrive at Niangziguan?"

"That's not true." Zhao Gang shook his head, "The information only said that it will be on the 13th of next month."

"On the 13th of next month, the inspection at Niangziguan Railway Station is a bit interesting."

Li Yunlong muttered, the first business is not difficult, but the second business is not.

First of all, I don't know the specific time when the target person arrives at Niangziguan Railway Station. Is it in the middle of the night or during the day?

If it is an inspection, it is likely to arrive during the day, maybe at night, maybe a daytime inspection?

Secondly, I don't know whether the devil came by train or car. Without definite information, it would be difficult to start on the way.

In the end, how would the devil do it after he arrived at Niangziguan, lead his troops to besiege Niangziguan, or wait for the devil to leave Niangziguan before attacking?

"This is a photo of Masaken Hirata."

Zhao Gang handed a black and white photo to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took it over and took a look, only to see Hirata Zhengpan in the photo with a Chinese character face, wearing a military cap, and a well-trimmed beard under his nose.

There was nothing unusual about his appearance, but Li Yunlong's first reaction to this devil was that he was a sinister and vicious character.

But Li Yunlong relaxed: "It will be much easier if you have photos."

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Have you thought of a way to kill this devil?"

"I haven't thought of any good solution yet." Li Yunlong shook his head.

Zhao Gang recommended himself: "If there is no other way, I can try long-distance sniping."

"There is Mianshan Mountain to the south of Niangziguan Station. From the map, the straight-line distance between the two is 1.7 kilometers."

"The maximum accurate range of my large-caliber sniper rifle is 1850 meters. It is within the range to fight Niangziguan from Mianshan."

"A distance of 1700 meters?" Li Yunlong asked, "Old Zhao, are you sure?"

Zhao Gang shook his head: "The main reason is that I haven't tried such a long distance before. It shouldn't be a big problem after practicing."

At present, Zhao Gang has shot as far as 1200 meters. In the battle to unplug the devil's stronghold outside Liaoxian County, one of the shots hit accurately and the other missed the target.

The main reason is that Zhao Gang usually saves bullets. Of the 200 rounds of 12.7mm sniper rounds given to him by Chen Feng, he only used up 25 rounds, leaving a full 175 rounds.

However, Zhao Gang is quite confident in his sniping skills.

"That's a way for you." Leader Li nodded, "Think about this way first, anyway, there's still half a month left, so we don't need to be so anxious."

Although Li Datuan's marksmanship is considered top-notch in the Xinyi regiment, if Li Yunlong were to fire this spear at a distance of 1700 meters, he would not even dare to think about it.

Zhao Gang nodded: "That's fine, the documents and materials will be left here first."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he was about to turn around and walk out.

"Why are you going, Old Zhao?" Li Yunlong called to stop him.

"I'm going to the Houshan shooting range to practice marksmanship." Zhao Gang said, "You want to go together?"

"It's getting dark today, what are you still practicing, let's practice tomorrow."

After speaking, Captain Li poked his hand again, and said with a smile: "We should learn something new today."

Zhao Gang looked at the sky outside, the sky was gray, winter nights always come sooner.

So Zhao Gang sat back on the kang again and started studying "The Theory of Combat Theory of the Large, Deep, and Large Corps" with Chief Li Datuan.

……

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

In the office, Shinozuka Yoshio was practicing his calligraphy again.

Unlike other officers, Shinozuka Yoshio usually does not like to practice swords, but likes to practice calligraphy and chess.

However, since he became the commander of the First Army, he seldom practiced swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship has improved.

Because every time he lost a battle, he would draw out his command saber and slash wildly.

"report!"

The voice of Kato Masaaki, the head of the special high school, sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Yoshio Shinozuka put down his writing brush, looked up at the door, Masaaki Kato stepped in, and when he reached the desk, his feet slapped.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked: "Kato-kun, how do you think my handwriting is?"

Masaaki Kato leaned forward and took a look. Although the commander's words seemed to be the same, he said:

"Your Excellency Commander's handwriting is smooth and thick, and the dragons and snakes are leaping in the pen, and the brushwork is vigorous and free, I admire it!"

"Oh?" Shinozuka Yoshio felt very comfortable being flattered by this flattery, but pretended to be surprised, "Kato-kun also knows calligraphy?"

"The humble post is just a little research, not comparable to the commander's calligraphy attainments." Kato Masaaki said: "Commander, the special high-level class has gained a lot when interrogating prisoners."

"Oh?" Yoshio Shinozuka's expression was startled, "Did your special high school find out the spies placed by Eight Routes in the headquarters?"

Masaaki Kato said, "That's not true."

Yoshio Shinozuka's face darkened, and he didn't find any of the spies that Balu had placed in the headquarters, so what the hell are you talking about?
Seeing the commander's expression, Kato Masaaki said quickly, "Although no spy was found, we got information about Li Yunlong during the interrogation."

Shinozuka Yoshio immediately became interested again, and asked, "Tell me, what information?"

Kato Masaki said: "Some time ago, in Chengjia Town, Yangquan County, the imperial army stationed there received a report from the local village chief that a family had a relationship with the Eighth Route."

"The imperial army immediately arrested this family. The imperial army killed all his family members in front of the woman, and the woman did not confess."

"The imperial army handed the woman over to the special high school in Yangquan. In the end, the woman did not withstand the torture of the special high school to extract a confession, and revealed all the news she knew."

"This woman's name is Cheng Meifang, and she has a fiancé who works as a guard by Li Yunlong's side."

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka looked happy, "Is this serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Kato Masaaki's tone was firm, "15 minutes ago, the head of the Yangquan High School personally called me to confirm this matter."

"Yoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio put his hands behind his back, his eyes flashed sharply behind the round-framed glasses, and he felt keenly that this might be an excellent opportunity to get rid of Li Yunlong.

"Kato-kun, you put aside the investigation of spies and leave it to Lieutenant Assistant Iteng."

"Go to Yangquan yourself and train this woman into a spy in the shortest possible time. I will be of great use."

"In addition, this matter is strictly confidential. Except for you and me, no third person should know."

"After the matter is completed, Kato-kun, you will be the first to contribute, and you can be promoted to the rank of Colonel at that time."

"Hi!" Kato Masaaki was overjoyed, and quickly nodded. It is rare for him to be promoted to the rank of Colonel at his age.

Immediately, Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, Masaaki Kato turned and walked out.

"Li Yunlong..."

After Kato Masaaki left, Shinozuka Yoshio muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was a killing intent in his smile.
