I am helping

Chapter 429 The name is Chen Feng!
Right now, the Japanese army stationed in Taiyuan has only one special service team and a cavalry brigade.

Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that he could not sleep well.

Over the past year, the Eighth Route Army has done too much in Shanxi, and Yoshio Iwamatsu, who is far away in the base camp, has also changed his face when he heard about it.

Fortunately, the strength of the First Army is still far above the Eighth Route Army.

Before coming to Taiyuan, when I was talking with Neiji Okamura, commander of the North China Front Army, in Iron Lion Alley.

Yoshio Iwamatsu knew that the First Army was a mess.

Because the former commander of the First Army died in battle, the important military town of Taiyuan was occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Although the occupation was not long, it dealt a great blow to the morale of the First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's first job as the commander of the First Army is to solve the morale problem of the First Army.

The second task is to restore the traffic between Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway as soon as possible.

If you want to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, you have to mobilize troops and supplies, and you need to restore railway traffic as soon as possible.

For the Japanese army, the current law and order in Shanxi has reached an extremely corrupt point.

In the south of the Yellow River in southern Shanxi, China's Central Army is eyeing a tiger, trying to cross the Yellow River north to take back the strategically important Zhongtiao Mountain.

Although the Japanese army won the Central Plains Battle, but because the backyard was on fire and the logistics supply line was cut off, the Japanese army failed to destroy the main force of the Central Army, and the Central Army still had the strength to counterattack.

Therefore, one or two divisions need to be stationed in southern Shanxi to defend the Central Army south of the Yellow River.

However, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is growing day by day, and has become a serious problem for the Japanese army.

However, the old devil Okamura Ningji also has something.

As soon as he took office as the commander of the North China Front Army, he formulated a plan and guiding outline for North China's political and war strategies.

Its core idea is to instigate rebellion against the Central Army and the Jinsui Army by means of political, military, and dispatch of secret agents, isolate the Eighth Route Army dominated by the Communist Party, and then annihilate the Eighth Route Army.

Then in North China launched a law and order strengthening campaign, Okamura divided North China into "law and order areas" (that is, enemy-occupied areas), "quasi-law and order areas" (that is, guerrilla areas contested by the enemy and ourselves), and "non-law and order areas" (that is, anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines). ), implementing policies such as "clearing the countryside", "cannibalizing" and "mopping up" respectively.

However, since Ningji Okamura just took office, the above policies have not had time to be implemented.

And Hayao Tada's "cage policy" has completely failed.

At this time, all parties are accumulating strength to deal with the upcoming war.

"Yamamoto-kun, where is Li Yunlong now?"

After a short break, Yoshio Iwamatsu asked Kazuki Yamamoto what he was most concerned about right now.

Right now, the former staff officers of the First Army Headquarters have all been taken away in one pot, and the trusted staff officers brought by Yoshio Iwamatsu still don't know much about the situation in Shanxi.

Therefore, if Yoshio Iwamatsu had something to do, he naturally wanted to ask Kazuki Yamamoto.

However, Kuribayashi Nakamichi and his 1st Cavalry Brigade were not members of the First Army, but belonged to the Mongolian Garrison Corps.

For causing great damage to the Japanese army, even Yoshio Shinozuka, the former commander of the First Army, died under Li Yunlong's hands.

Yoshio Iwamatsu, who didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Shinozuka Yoshio, naturally paid special attention to Li Yunlong.

"Li Yunlong is in Northwest Shanxi!"

When Li Yunlong was mentioned, Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes flashed with hatred, and he gritted his teeth.

The relationship between him and Yoshio Shinozuka is not like a relationship between a superior and a subordinate, but more like a relationship between a teacher and a friend. Even before retiring, Yoshio Shinozuka was still thinking about him and the secret service team.

I want the Yamamoto Special Forces to make more achievements. After Shinozuka Yoshio retires, the Yamamoto Special Forces will have a foothold in the army.

However, before Shinozuka Yoshio could see the accomplishments of the Yamamoto Secret Service, he was shot dead by Li Yunlong's troops.

If this revenge is not avenged, I, Kazuki Yamamoto, swear not to be a human being!
"Nani?" Yoshio Yanmatsu narrowed his eyes, "Li Yunlong actually went to Northwest Shanxi?"

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto nodded.

"How many people did Li Yunlong take to Northwest Shanxi?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked hurriedly.

The news that Li Yunlong led his troops to Northwest Shanxi caught Yoshio Iwamatsu by surprise.

It can be seen from the last battle of Taiyuan that only the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi can threaten Taiyuan and the headquarters of the First Army.

But now that Li Yunlong has led his troops to Northwest Shanxi, those who can threaten Taiyuan and the headquarters of the First Army have added Northwest Shanxi from then on.

This made Yoshio Iwamatsu feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a light on his back.

Kazuki Yamamoto replied truthfully: "According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army going to Northwest Shanxi, in addition to Li Yunlong's New First Regiment, also has the 386th Brigade's New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment."

"Li Yunlong's new regiment is stationed in Heyuan, Anhua and Ping'an counties."

"The Second New Regiment is stationed in Wuzhai County, Chi County and Ning County."

"The independent regiment is stationed in Zuoyun County, Huai County and Shanyin County."

When Yoshio Yanmatsu heard the words, his sharp light flashed: "Is the new second regiment and the independent regiment under the command of Li Yunlong?"

Yamamoto Kazuki said: "From the intelligence point of view, the new second regiment and the independent regiment have a criminal record under the command of Li Yunlong, but they are not under the command of Li Yunlong in terms of rank."

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked: "So, there is only one regiment around Li Yunlong?"

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto nodded.

Hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu's mind immediately became active.

If Li Yunlong had only one regiment around him, it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with...

"But according to intelligence."

"Li Yunlong's regiment has more than 7000 people, and they are all equipped with American weapons and German weapons!"

Kazuki Yamamoto quickly reminded.

Li Yunlong is very difficult to deal with, and countless elites of the empire have suffered in his hands.

He was afraid that Yoshio Yanmatsu would be like a stunned young man, thinking that Li Yunlong would be easy to bully as long as he had a regiment of troops, and he would suffer a big loss in the end.

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned suddenly, "There are more than 7000 people in a regiment, and they are all equipped with American and German weapons?"

It seems that it is necessary to re-evaluate the strength of Li Yunlong's department.

Then, Yoshio Iwamatsu asked: "Yamamoto-kun, do you have any detailed information about Li Yunlong and his new group?"

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto took a stack of documents from Xiaoga Goro, and then handed over the intelligence documents that had been prepared to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Yoshio Iwamatsu took over the information and looked through it.

The personal information about Li Yunlong was the one collected by the intelligence department of the First Army.

However, Kazuki Yamamoto wrote down the main achievements of the Eighth Route Army led by Li Yunlong over the past year.

In February 1940, the Battle of Cangyunling defeated the Sakata Wing of the Fourth Brigade and killed the leader of the Sakata Nobutsu.

In March 1940, during the Battle of Lijiagou on Zhengtai Highway, Li Yunlong led his troops to wipe out the two Kwantung Army squadrons escorting chemical bombs.

In May 1940, Li Yunlong led his troops to wipe out the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing and killed the leader of the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing.

……

Looking at it one by one, Li Yunlong's record shocked Yoshio Iwamatsu.

In the beginning, Li Yunlong only killed officers at the level of the Japanese army commander, but later, he even started killing Japanese generals.

Four outstanding major generals and three lieutenant generals of the Japanese army died in the hands of Li Yunlong.

Yoshimatsu Yanmatsu thought ambitiously, this executioner named Li Yunlong was stained with the blood of the outstanding generals of the Great Japanese Empire.

All this was caused by the commander of the Eighth Route Army named Li Yunlong. What kind of person is he?

How could there be such a huge destructive power?

He is just a small regiment leader, how could he mobilize so many Eighth Route Army troops to attack Taiyuan?
What on earth did the Eighth Route Army headquarters think? Li Yunlong, with his illustrious military exploits, was more than enough to be an army commander, but he was actually just a regiment commander?

At this moment, just like Principal Chang, countless question marks floated up in Yoshio Iwamatsu's heart.

Seeing the expression on Yoshio Iwamatsu's face, Kazuki Yamamoto said again: "Your Excellency, Li Yunlong has only been in Northwest Shanxi for more than half a month, and he has launched several battles before and after, and captured the Nine Kingdoms originally occupied by the imperial army. This person is a confidant of the imperial army and should be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"Damn Li Yunlong!" Yoshio Iwamatsu felt the same way.

Li Yunlong is simply the nemesis of the generals of the Japanese army.

Seven generals of the Japanese army died in the hands of Li Yunlong, even including the commander of the First Army, and even more Japanese officers died in the hands of Li Yunlong.

Although most of the intelligence materials are about Li Yunlong's record, there is very little information about Li Yunlong himself, such as his age, personality, place of origin and appearance.

But Kazuki Yamamoto is not a professional in intelligence after all, and being able to prepare this information in advance has already impressed Yoshio Iwamatsu.

"The important reason why Li Yunlong's troops can fight so well."

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "The main reason is that his troops received assistance from the outside world, and his troops are equipped with excellent German and American weapons."

Yoshio Yanmatsu's eyes flashed sharply: "Have you found out who is helping the Eighth Route Army?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu had already heard about this matter in the base camp.

A special investigation team was even set up inside the base camp to investigate which country was targeting Japan, but so far nothing has been found.

The bombers and fighter jets that attacked the Japanese army seemed to appear out of thin air as if they did not exist.

At present, the bombers and fighters that attacked the Japanese army have only appeared twice, but every time they appear, they will wipe out an entire Japanese wing.

If this matter is not investigated clearly, the entire base camp will have trouble sleeping and eating.

"I haven't found out yet!" Kazuki Yamamoto said with a pause, "However, the intelligence department of the First Army has already found out the spokesperson of the Eighth Route Army's aid channel, and his name is Chen Feng!"

"Chen Feng?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked, "Do you have any details about this person?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "Some top-secret information about this person was burned by the staff of the headquarters when the Eighth Route Army attacked Taiyuan."

In fact, Kazuki Yamamoto knew very well that even if the materials had not been burned, there was not much information about Chen Feng at all, and this person was even more mysterious than Li Yunlong.

Then, Kazuki Yamamoto said again: "General, the secret service team has investigated this person before, and I am willing to continue the investigation!"

However, beyond Kazuki Yamamoto's expectations, Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said: "As for the aid channels of the Eighth Route Army, there will be special personnel from the base camp to investigate. The task of your special agent team is mainly to protect the safety of the headquarters. Starting today, Taiyuan The safety of the inner city and the headquarters of the First Army is entrusted to Yamamoto-kun."

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto had no choice but to pause, thinking that this new commander is more afraid of death than Commander Shinozuka Yoshio.

But this is also good, the new commander will be cautious in every way, so as not to follow in the footsteps of General Shinozuka Yoshio.

"In addition, transfer the 36th Division to Heyuan, Anhua, and Ping'an counties in the northwest of Shanxi, and show me Li Yunlong."

After that, Yoshio Iwamatsu immediately gave an order to Chief of Staff Hanaya Masa.

As the saying goes, others on the side of the couch allow others to sleep soundly. Although Li Yunlong's department is only a regiment, there is no division of troops to guard Li Yunlong, and Yoshio Iwamatsu cannot sleep.
