Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 133: Whoever dares to betray the Independent Regiment, I will skin him alive! 3-word chapter

Masao Yoshino led the Yoshino Corps back to the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold and cleaned up the loss of supplies, which made him very angry. This attack on the independent regiment ended in such a whimper, and he also lost 60% of the combat supplies. If he wanted to launch the next attack, it would take at least half a month to replenish the missing supplies.

"Jichun, immediately send a telegram to the general requesting supplies. At the same time, request the air force to launch an air strike on the defense zone where the independent regiment is located. Increase the amount of Type 1 and Type 3 ammunition dropped. We must turn the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment into a no-man's land. The next time we attack, we can easily break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and complete the headquarters' established combat plan!" Yoshino Masao ordered solemnly.

Lieutenant Colonel Yoshiharu did not expect the commander of the regiment to be so crazy. After releasing the No. 1 and No. 3 ammunition, it would cause a large number of civilian casualties. However, thinking of those civilians helping the main regiment to resist the imperial army, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshiharu did not approve of this behavior, but did not raise any objections. He bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency Colonel, I will send a telegram to request tactical guidance from the headquarters!"

"Ji Chun, gather our wounded soldiers together and let them launch a desperate charge during the next attack. I believe these warriors deserve to die for their loyalty to the empire!"

What Yoshino Masao said makes people feel chilled, but for the Japanese army, this is very normal.

Compared to Major Yoshiharu's busyness, Yoshino Masao began to think about his future prospects. He did not listen to Yamamoto Kazuki's advice before, and now he suffered heavy losses. Yamamoto Kazuki will definitely not miss the opportunity to kick the man when he is down. He must find ways to sabotage Yamamoto Kazuki's actions. Only in this way will he have an excuse for his failure. He will not become Yamamoto Kazuki's background board, be trampled under Yamamoto Kazuki's feet, and become the object of others' ridicule.

Yoshino Masao called the fat translator Luo Jinbao over and said casually, "Translator Luo, even though the Yoshino Company suffered a lot of losses, it will not have a big impact on the subsequent battle. This time the combat operation is divided into one open and one covert. On the surface, our Yoshino Corps is responsible for the frontal attack, and in secret, Yamamoto's special forces are responsible for the sneak attack!"

"One of the routes has run into problems, and the Independent Regiment took advantage of the situation and won once, but they definitely can't resist a sneak attack. It's just that this time it was too easy for that guy Yamamoto Ikki. With this achievement, he will definitely be arrogant in front of me again. What a hateful guy!"

"I hope that you, a hateful fellow, will be discovered by the Independent Regiment and I will teach him a lesson so that he will not have the chance to laugh at me. But this is too difficult to do. I can only endure his ridicule. Who will make him the winner today?"

Luo Jinbao rolled his eyes, and he immediately understood what Captain Yoshino meant. He wanted him to find a way to tip off the independent regiment and badly trick Yamamoto's special forces team. It must be said that the Yoshino Masao in front of him was so damn insidious that he even tricked his own people. It seemed that the Japanese were not as solid as he thought. If he manipulated it carefully, he might be able to profit from it.

Luo Jinbao replied flatteringly: "Your Excellency, the combat effectiveness of our Yoshino Regiment is well-known throughout the division, otherwise the headquarters would not have given the heavy responsibility of attacking the independent regiment to you. Colonel Yamamoto wants to take advantage of a ready-made opportunity, which is a nice thought. But I heard that the commander of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, is not an easy character to deal with, and there is also a sinister and cunning military advisor, Lin Zhenhua. These two people complement each other. It is very difficult for Colonel Yamamoto to succeed in the sneak attack. Maybe the two of them have been prepared for a long time, and the ambush is waiting for Colonel Yamamoto to enter the ambush circle!"

"If Colonel Yamamoto wants to escape, he will have to rely on the help of the lady. With his ability, Colonel Yamamoto is not even worthy of carrying the lady's shoes. He still wants to mock the lady as a winner. I don't think he can escape even in the next life!"

Yoshino Masao was very satisfied with Luo Jinbao's compliment. He shook his mustache, patted Luo Jinbao on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Translator Luo, we will stay in Xiaozhangzhuang for a while in the next few days, waiting for the arrival of follow-up supplies and personnel. I will hand over the intelligence work to you. You must find out the real movements of the independent group and never let them escape in advance. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Jinbao nodded and bowed, "Madam, I am loyal to you. I dare not delay the matter you have entrusted to me. I will arrange someone to do it in a moment!"

Yoshino Masao chatted with Luo Jinbao for a few more words and asked him to leave the command center to gather intelligence. Looking at Luo Jinbao's leaving back, Yoshino Masao had a mysterious smile on his face, and he was looking forward to a good show.

After Luo Jinbao returned to his residence, he hurriedly gathered his men and sent them out to spy on the Independent Regiment. He spread the news he heard from Yoshino Masao as if unintentionally. Finally, he completed Yoshino Masao's task, and he felt relieved. As for whether the news could be passed to the Independent Regiment and how much damage it could cause to Yamamoto's special forces, perhaps only God knows!

After Lu Xiangming received the news that Yamamoto's special forces were going to attack the independent regiment's base, he immediately passed the message on. After six hours of transmission, the message reached Zhao Gang before four o'clock in the afternoon. After seeing the intelligence in his hand, Zhao Gang did not dare to delay and hurried to the regiment headquarters, where he met Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong who had hurried back from the front line.

"Lao Li, college student, I just received urgent intelligence that Yamamoto's special forces will launch a surprise attack on our base tonight. It seems that there are indeed Japanese spies hidden inside our independent regiment, and there may even be traitors, otherwise the news would not be kept so secret. If it weren't for the conflict between Yoshino Masao and Yamamoto Ikki, we might have been successfully attacked by Yamamoto's special forces!"

As Zhao Gang spoke, he handed the intelligence in his hand to the two men for review. After they carefully read the contents of the intelligence, their faces changed slightly. If the two men had not rushed back early and brought back two companies, with just a few guards at the regiment headquarters, they might not be able to stop the sudden attack of Yamamoto's special forces team of a hundred people.

Li Yunlong's face was terribly gloomy. He slammed the envelope on the table and angrily cursed: "Damn it, if I knew which son of a bitch in the independent regiment was a traitor, I would skin him alive!"

"College student, you have dealt with the Yamamoto Special Forces before. Please tell us in detail about the Yamamoto Special Forces. The Yamamoto Special Forces are the number one enemy of our independent regiment. Since they dare to invade our base this time, I will make sure they never return!"

Lin Zhenhua did not shirk responsibility and gave a brief account of what he had learned: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, the individual combat capabilities of the Yamamoto Special Forces are very strong. They are equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, submachine guns, grenade launchers and mortars. Their equipment is specially made, and even their helmets are non-reflective at night. It will be very difficult to find their traces in the dark."

"There have been several intelligence leaks in our independent regiment before, but we have not found the source of the leaks after a long investigation. I suspected Zhu Ziming, the security officer, before. In fact, I still have not given up my suspicion of him even now. This is why I did not recommend Lao Li to appoint Zhu Ziming to be responsible for the security of the base!"

"It's just that I haven't produced any evidence, and Lao Li has ignored my advice. Today, I carefully reviewed the affairs of the Third Battalion, and it is really too strange. Among the three battalions of our independent regiment, only the Third Battalion suffered the heaviest losses. The staff was basically wiped out, and only a few dozen people survived, and all of them were injured!"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't doubt our own comrades. I can't let them bleed and cry. But if we don't find the source of the intelligence leak, it's impossible to discover the sneak attacks by Yamamoto's special forces in advance every time. We can't have the slightest bit of luck. As a military commander, you should be very clear about this, Lao Li!"

Li Yunlong also said with worry: "College student, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm deliberately trying to sabotage you! Zhu Ziming has been with me for many years, but he is a veteran under my command. He has experienced many life and death situations and has never betrayed me. You want me to arrest him based on suspicion alone, without even a shred of evidence. I can't do what you say without knowing the truth. If I do that, everyone in the independent regiment will be in danger. How can I lead my troops then?"

Zhao Gang followed suit and said, "College student, I agree with Lao Li on this point. We really can't just arrest people based on suspicion. If we do that, the independent regiment will be in chaos. Don't let the independent regiment be defeated by our own infighting instead of being defeated by the devils. That would be a real joke!"

Lin Zhenhua also restrained his emotions, adjusted his mentality and said: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, I know what you two said makes sense, but this matter is like a thorn in my heart. If we don't eliminate the traitors and the Japanese spies as soon as possible, any action of our independent regiment will be exposed under the eyes of the Japanese, and we won't be able to hide even the slightest secret. The consequences are simply disastrous!"

"For the sake of confidentiality, our rocket production and fighter aircraft imitation work has not been going smoothly, which will have a great impact on the development of our independent regiment arsenal."

"Right now our arsenal can only produce grenades and mines. The bullet production line has just been established and it will take two days to start production. Once the Japanese get wind of this news, they will definitely target our arsenal. Once the equipment in the arsenal is destroyed by the Japanese, the development of our independent regiment will be greatly affected!"
