Chapter 26 Special Forces
When Yamamoto Ichiki hesitated, Yoshio Shinozuka, who knew Okamura Natsuji, immediately understood that Okamura Natsuji had other plans, so he asked, "So, Lieutenant General, how should we attack?"
Okamura Yasuji analyzed: "The enemy in Lujiagou may be stronger than we imagined, and has tight defense. In addition, there are likely to be many mines installed, so this cannot be achieved by relying on a small force to raid!"
These words were mainly analyzed for Yamamoto Ichiki.
Okamura Yasuji, who was a spy, was not only unique in tactical use, but also good at psychological tactics, which was the case for the enemy and his own subordinates.
Okamura Yasuji knew that if his subordinates needed to fight hard, he should believe that Okamura Yasuji, as the commander, attached great importance to him.
For example, if Okamura Yamamoto's request was rejected without any reason, it would probably make Yamamoto Ikki think that this is not convinced of the combat effectiveness of the special agent team and the tactics of Yamamoto Ikki's special operations.
"Yes!" Yamamoto Kazuki nodded and responded.
What Okamura Yasuji said was the truth.
Although his special agent team has recovered its vitality after absorbing the supplementary troops and conducting rigorous training during this period, the Eighth Route Army Command has at least one guard battalion, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. In addition, there is a terrible opponent who still has no identity, so it is indeed difficult for the special agent team to complete the mission independently.
Especially landmines...
The agents may be able to block ten when dealing with the enemy, but they are no different from ordinary troops in front of landmines. If you step on a foot, you will be injured and lose your ability to move.
It would be fine if it was a normal battle, but the agents still have time to clear mines.
However, the Agents' battle is about fast raids and ending the battle in a short time and getting out of the way, which leaves the Agents with no way to do anything in front of mines that may delay time.
After hesitating for a while, Yamamoto Ichiki said: "However, if you want to send more troops to intersperse, it may not be realistic. First, it is too large and easily discovered by the enemy. Second, you need to cross mountains and ridges along the way, which is not something that everyone can do!"
Okamura Yamamoto Ichiki was worthy of being the captain of the special agent team, and he guessed some plans so quickly based on his attitude and analysis.
Okamura Yamamoto answered slowly: "Yamamoto, we don't necessarily need to cross mountains and ridges!"
"Your Excellency means...disguised?" Yamamoto Kazuki asked.
Okamura Yasuji nodded slightly.
For this kind of problem, Yoshio Shinozuka usually only has the only way to "speak the teachings", but Yamamoto Ichiki can be ahead.
It seems that Yamamoto Ichiki is much smarter than Shinozuka Yoshio, at least in part of the battle.
"But, Lieutenant General!" Yamamoto Ichiki glanced at the map, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Eighth Route Army, in order to prevent our army's attack and legal currency offensive, built a large number of fortifications on the front line and set up layers of levels. Our army wanted to get through it... it was almost impossible!"
Okamura Yanji's answer was very simple: "I didn't say that I would get in from the Eighth Route Army's defense line!"
Yamamoto Ichiki was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
Not interfering from the Eighth Route Army defense line means interfering from the defense zone of the Jinsui Army.
It's indeed a good idea.
First of all, the defense and investigation of the Jinsui Army were not strict... At this time, the empire was negotiating with the Jinsui Army.
This made many people in the Jinsui Army think that the war with the empire was about to end, so they were unwilling to fight and their defenses were lax.
Under this circumstance, there was no great difficulty for the Imperial Army to disguise themselves as people and enter the Jinsui Army Defense Zone.
On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Sui Army have not completely turned against each other, and the defense at the junction of the two armies is not tight, which allows the Imperial Army to easily go around the side and enter the Eighth Route Army defense zone.
At that time, the Imperial Army will disguise itself as guerrillas or reinforce the Eighth Route Army on the front... Wouldn't that be much easier than crossing mountains and ridges?
Thinking of this, Yamamoto Ichiki stood up and replied with convincing conscience: "Yes, Lieutenant General, you are deeply considerate and admire him!"
Yamamoto Ichiki guessed correctly, Okamura Yanji did plan to organize a special condemnation team to intersperse from the Jinsui Army Defense Zone.
This special condemnation team is composed of two squadrons, Kazuya Yamamoto Ichiki, with a total force of more than 500 people.
Okamura Yasuji's troops against Lujiagou are estimated to be around 1,000.
According to common sense, the Imperial Army also has obvious advantages in comparison of one to three. Now, the comparison of one to two forces is a sneak attack, and even a strong attack is not a big problem.
What's more, this special condemnation team with more than 500 people is all elite:
The main force is Yamamoto Kazuki, a special agent team with hundreds of people. They almost succeeded when they entered Lujiagou and had more than 100 people against the enemy guard battalion, which is enough to prove their combat effectiveness.
The second main force is a member of the mainland advancing team led by Ichiro Koike, with a team of 60 people.
To be precise, there are two platoons... Everything in the mainland advancing team is in accordance with the Chinese customs, and even the troops are no exception. Otherwise, it is very likely that the two sets of organizations will be exposed because of chaos.
Needless to say, what the mission of the mainland advancing team is, they are responsible for helping the troops get into the enemy's defense zone to deal with everything to prevent the troops from being suspected by the enemy.
The main body of the Special Condemnation Team is the two selected squadrons of the Independent Mixed Second Brigade, with a total force of 360 people.
Although the Independent Mixed Brigade is a mixed brigade that deals with guerrillas, its identity in the Imperial Army is very special and quite famous.
The main reason is that when this unit was the so-called "mountain warfare expert" Abe Hirohide, he hoped to learn from his allies to build a mountain force as an example to comprehensively upgrade the mountain combat capabilities of various mixed brigades.
Therefore, Abe selected and selected people with excellent physical fitness and rock climbing and mountain survival skills to form troops and strengthen mountain combat training.
But on the one hand, Abe Hitomi copied the mountain tactics learned from his allies... The allies' mountain battles were targeted at the Alps, and the target of the enemy's regular army. Abe Hitomi moved it to the hilly areas of the Yellow River Basin to deal with guerrilla tactics, which would inevitably be unacceptable to the local conditions.
On the other hand, Abe Hito was shot dead by our army during the battle, so the establishment and attempts of the imperial army in the mountain troops came to an abrupt end.
At this time, Okamura Yasuji transferred two squadrons from this mixed brigade and merged into the special condemnation team.
The Second Mixed Brigade has always maintained the habit of mountain troops in the habit of weight of 45 kilograms (25 kilograms for ordinary troops). In addition, weapons, ammunition, engineer shovels and other equipment, the per capita load is more than 70 kilograms, and the training is very difficult.
Okamura Yasuji believes that just this can make the Special Condemnation Team carry more ammunition.
