But soon Hide Maeda's face collapsed and she quietly hung up the phone.

Jiro Maeda asked, "Brother, can't the phone number at the Tottoki stronghold be reached?"

"Yes, it can't be done." Maeda Hide said, "A group of 8th Governors of the Earth appeared near the Huting stronghold during this period. Not only did they stole the telephone lines, but they also repeatedly attacked the Imperial Army's telephone soldiers."

Jiro Maeda said: "Why didn't you send troops to clean up?"

"Sent." Hideto Maeda, "I just sent a small infantry team and a company of the Imperial Army to pursue the mountain."

Seeing Maeda Hide stopped and said no further, Jiro Maeda became anxious and asked, "What? Is this group of Eighth Route Army destroyed by the Imperial Army?"

"No."

Maeda Hide shook her head and said, "You can never guess what the final result will be."

Jiro Maeda thought for a moment and said, "Is this a trap? The eighth Route Army has set up an ambush in the mountains. The infantry team and the Imperial Army that had just been sent were ambushed? Is that right?"

"No, Jiro, you are wrong. There are no ambushes in the mountains."

Maeda Hide waved her hand and said, "However, the fifty-four infantry team just sent out, none of the imperial soldiers could return to the Huting Stronghold alive!"

"Nani?"

Jiro Maeda's expression changed: "Is the entire team broken?"

"Yes, the entire infantry team was broken." Hide Maeda said with a serious expression, "No one is spared."

"Baga!" said Jiro Maeda, "So, this group of Eighth Route Army is not an ordinary Eighth Route Army at all. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has also imitated the Imperial Army to form a special agent team?"

"The Eighth Route Army also formed a special agent team? This is impossible."

Maeda Hide shook her head and said, "Special operations are a cutting-edge military subject that has just appeared in the world today. Among the major military powers, only Germany and the Empire have formed a truly special forces. In total, there are only a few senior generals from the Turkish Eighth Route Army who have attended the Fulongzhi Military Academy. They are absolutely impossible to contact special operations."

Jiro Maeda said: "Then what explanation should this Eighth Route Army small force do?"

"It is probably a group of elite veterans from the Eighth Route Army." Hideto Maeda said, "Before the Eighth Route Army heading to the Shanxi battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had just experienced a long march of more than 25,000 miles, and had to fight bloody battles with the government forces during this period. Those who survived such harsh conditions must be the elites."

"This is possible," said Maeda Jiro.

"I remember Colonel Yamamoto said that when the Tujiao Eighth Route Army had just arrived in the Shanxi battlefield, they could even fight bayonets with the Imperial Army on the battlefield without getting a disadvantage!"

"This is simply unimaginable in the Chinese army."

"Neither the Central Army nor the Jinsui Army have such strength."

"It was in the past two years that the Eighth Route Army had expanded its army too quickly and the veterans suffered a large number of casualties on the battlefield, so their combat effectiveness had significantly decreased."

"But one thing is certain."

"The Eighth Route Army veterans who passed the Long March are indeed very powerful."

Hide Maeda said: "So, this group of 8th gangs of local ranks are mostly a group of veterans in the Long March."

Jiro Maeda asked, "So my brother asked me to come to Yangquan to deal with this group of terrestrial eighth route?"

Jiro Maeda is really confident in himself and feels that he can solve the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army alone.

"Not this." Maeda Hide waved her hand and said, "Although this group of 8th Route Army members is extremely difficult, there are only a dozen people after all, and I can still deal with it."

"I'm calling you here for another thing."

"Can you convince Yamamoto and assist our 4th Brigade in conducting a reconnaissance?"

Maeda Jiro said: "Brother means that he will ask Yamamoto's special forces to conduct a detailed and comprehensive reconnaissance on the Taihang Bandit Area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, right?"

"Yes." Maeda Hide said this, pointing to the map on the wall, "Jiro, look, although the military map provided by the Army Department is generally correct, there are many minor errors."

"Especially some remote paths are not marked clearly."

"This is extremely unfavorable for the subsequent sweeping operations, because it is very likely that the Imperial Army will have a fatal loophole in the encirclement of the Taihang Bandit Area, which will lead to the Eighth Route Army's collapse and the siege."

"This... please be honest, it's probably very difficult."

Jiro Maeda frowned and said, "Colonel Yamamoto is extremely stubborn and does not fall within the scope of the responsibilities of the special agent team. Even if General Shinozuka speaks in person, he sometimes dares to refuse in person."

Hide Maeda said: "You are Yamamoto Ikki's most valued deputy, and can't you affect him?"

Jiro Maeda shook his head and said, "Brother, no one in this world can influence Colonel Yamamoto."

"Okay." Hide Maeda said helplessly, "If this happens, I'd better find a way myself, so I won't bother you."

Jiro Maeda nodded and asked again: "Brother, the phone number at the Huting stronghold cannot be reached. Nothing will happen? Will it be in danger of life just now?"

"It's not dangerous."

Maeda Hide waved her hand and said, "No matter what, the Huting stronghold has an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army and an enhanced battalion of the Imperial Army. Although the field capabilities of the Imperial Army are not satisfactory, they are still competent for defending the city. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army does not have heavy weapons to attack the city, so the Huting stronghold will not be in danger."

Jiro Maeda said: "But the communications at the Tokutui stronghold cannot be restored for a long time, right?"

Maeda Hide said: "The communications at the Huting stronghold must be restored, and it will be restored today. I am going to second a cavalry squadron from the Black Island United to clear out this group of Tuo Eighth Route Army."

"This is a good idea." Jiro Maeda nodded, "This group of Tujiao has excellent military qualities and is very familiar with the terrain of the mountainous areas. It is difficult for infantry to catch up with them, and only cavalry can catch up with and kill them. Moreover, the terrain near the Huting Staff is also very suitable for cavalry operations."

After saying this, Jiro Maeda said again: "Brother, I will go there with the cavalry of the Kuroshima United."

"Okay, but you don't want to participate in the battle." Maeda Hide nodded and said, "Otherwise, let that guy Yamamoto know and say I'm not following the rules."

"In addition, let me tell you to be careful in everything."

"It's less than three months since he returned to Tokyo to attend school."

"I don't want him to have an accident in this last period of time, which will make his father and mother sad."

"Hayi!" Jiro Maeda suddenly paused and said solemnly, "I will definitely bring my brother's words to you."

He raised his head and Jiro Maeda said again: "I won't go to Yangquan when I go back. I will go back to Taiyuan from the small path and help you to reconnaise the terrain along the way. All I can do for my brother is this."

"Thank you, Jiro," Hideto Maeda said.

...

Li Sigen, Huang Dongsheng and Zhao Xiaohu, were nervously cutting the phone line.

The cut telephone line has been more than a thousand meters and is rolled into several large bundles and thrown randomly next to the road.

As Li Sigen's team's work location continued to move forward, the Spades group responsible for the alert direction of Yangquan also moved forward under Wang Ye's leadership.

At this moment, the four of them had just ambushed behind a mountain.

Wang Ye looked back at the valley behind him and could see Wang Xikui. He made a gesture, and Wang Xikui immediately followed him back: It means he had received it.

Seeing this, Wang Ye turned around and leaned against the cliff.

Another plated rifle bullet was taken out from his bag.

Take out a small file and file the bullet's warhead.

After a while, a cross was filed on the copper core bullet.

Seeing this, Wang Gensheng came over and asked in a low voice: "Master, what did you say last time Dam?"

"Yes, this is the Dam bullet." Wang Ye smiled and said, "It only takes a little transformation to double the lethality of the bullet."

Wang Gensheng immediately became excited.

Wang Ye poured a basin of cold water again: "However, using a Dam bullet will cause a sharp reduction in shooting accuracy, and the hit rate of more than 100 meters cannot be guaranteed, so use it with caution."

"Ah?" Wang Gensheng was immediately disappointed when he heard this.

The hit rate dropped sharply by a hundred meters away? This is fucking embarrassing.

While he was talking, Wang Ye suddenly turned his ear and seemed to hear something.

Wang Gen suddenly looked shaking and said in a deep voice: "King, what have you heard?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Sanxi, who was in charge of the alert in front, suddenly screamed: "Ghost Cavalry!"

Wang Ye and Wang Gensheng hurriedly leaned forward and saw a large number of Japanese cavalry rumbled along the road two kilometers ahead.

"My mother!"

Wang Gensheng shouted: "So many Japanese cavalry?"

Wang Ye took a look at it and there were at least hundreds of riders.

Fortunately, the mountain roads were winding, and the Japanese cavalry could not see Li Sigen and others for the time being.

Wang Ye turned around and called Wang Xikui to tell him sign language, reminding them to transfer.

After receiving Wang Ye's warning, Wang Xikui quickly loudly reminded Li Sigen who was working on wire cutting. Li Sigen slipped down from the telephone pole and led Huang Dongsheng and Zhao Xiaohu into the woods on the roadside, and even the hundreds of kilograms of telephone lines piled on the roadside were not too late to take away.
