I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 777 Takeshita Shun is here

Takeshita Shun: "I have one last question. Is this wedding a trap?"

Okamura smiled, as Takeshita Shun's question touched upon his expertise.

Okamura: "Mr. Takeshita, you may not know that I am an intelligence officer, and I pay special attention to the collection of intelligence.

Ever since I took over the North China Expeditionary Army last year, I started sending people to target the Eighth Route Army's most powerful general.

Since October last year, he has been going to Zhaojiayu for meetings.

On two other occasions, he placed the headquarters of his First Rapid Reaction Division in Zhaojiayu.

Speaking of this, I have to admire Li Yunlong's tactical qualities.

All the imperial agents we sent out, including Li Yunlong’s own political commissar.

No one noticed that this Chinese general, who frequently appeared in Zhaojiayu, was looking for women to fall in love with.

So this was a trap prepared in advance, but I couldn't believe it.

They wouldn't start preparing to ambush someone nine months in advance.

There is another thing, they don’t have any target they want to deal with right now.

As early as years ago, Yoshio Shinozuka had already taken control of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and there was nothing he could do about it.

Even if Li Yunlong wanted to show weakness to the enemy, the cowardly guy Yoshio Shinozuka would not dare to send troops to attack Zhaojiayu.

If there are no professional special forces personnel, it will be useless if there are too few people.

If too many people go, given the capabilities of Li Yunlong's troops, even if we send out two divisions, we won't be able to surround him, and it will only increase casualties."

Takeshita Shun asked seriously, "Commander Okamura, has the combat power of our Imperial Army declined to this extent?

I’m in the country…”

Okamura sighed and said, “Those propaganda people in our country are really powerful and terrifying.

If even Mr. Takeshita doesn't know the truth, what else can the people in the country know?

Yes, our military still has the advantage, although the government army of the temporary capital has won a few battles.

But they are still no match for our Japanese Imperial Army.

The only ones who can pose a threat to us now are the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Red Northern Shaanxi.

It was Song Wenwan’s Gannan guerrilla division and Jiangnan’s militia division.

That’s not all. Song Wenwan has already started helping the Second War Zone to organize and reform the Shanxi-Suiyuan New Army.

He also had at least ten divisions of Sichuan troops that had been equipped by him long ago.

Do you know the Sichuan Army's Junior Officers Corps? They have now been upgraded to the Sichuan Army Youth Officers Corps.

In the current Sichuan Army, if you are not an officer from the Gannan Military Academy, no one will recognize you.

If there is no young officer corps in any Sichuan Army unit, Sichuan people will not regard them as regular troops.

Now think about it, Commander Song Wenwan has great ambitions!

I estimate that the number of regular troops he can mobilize now is no less than one million.

The one in the ridiculous secondary capital probably doesn’t know it yet.”

Okamura took a sip of water and said, "Alas, now that I'm older, I always like to talk about all sorts of topics."

Takeshita Shun was very polite and expressed his willingness to listen, asking Okamura to continue.

Okamura: “After the May 1st mopping-up operation, many bases of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi were connected into one.

It is impossible for our large force to launch a surprise attack on the outskirts of Zhaojiayu.

And the Eighth Route Army didn't know that you, the empire's special warfare elite, had already arrived in Peking.

So in the absence of a strong opponent, they will not set a trap for anyone.

And because of the big victory in May, they will also relax their vigilance a little.

It will be more convenient for Takeshita-kun to lead your elites to launch a surprise attack on the high-ranking officers of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Second War Zone."

Takeshita Shun suddenly asked: "Commander, I wonder what the current situation of Senior Zhou Weiguo is like?

Is he still working in the government army of the secondary capital? With his ability, he should be at least a major general now, right?"

Okamura: "Zhou Weiguo? I actually know such a person.

However, the Zhou Weiguo I know is not working in the temporary capital government army now.

He is now serving as the principal of the military academy at Song Wenwan Military Academy in Longshui, Gannan.

He also serves as the captain of the special operations brigade.

I heard that he got married on May Day and his father was a long-time member of the Tongmenghui.

I heard that the wedding was extremely lively and many high-ranking officials from the government attended the ceremony.

The day before yesterday, news came from Gannan that his wife was pregnant.

He is now accompanying his wife every day, busy taking care of the baby in the hospital."

Takeshita Shun: "The captain of the special forces brigade? It seems that he has decided to form a special forces brigade."

Okamura: "Is this person difficult to deal with?"

Takeshita Shun: “I remember how high-spirited he was when he was studying in Germany.

To be honest, I haven't been able to beat him once so far.

It may be difficult to get away from Shanxi this time, and I don’t know if I will have the chance to meet him again in the future.

Commander Okamura, I gave you the list of rebels from the First Army yesterday."

When he said this, Takeshita Shun immediately stood up and bowed to Okamura.

"The empire's big event is ahead, so you can leave the attack on the top leaders of the Second War Zone to me."

Okamura did not dare to act rashly, so he stood up and bowed to Takeshita Shun.

"Please rest assured, Takeshita-kun. Leave the matter of revenge for your brother to me. I will definitely give an explanation to the Takeshita family."

When Takeshita Shun's cousin was ambushed, Okamura had not yet come to North China to take up his post.

Therefore, he felt no pressure at all to kill a few officers of the First Army and avenge the Takeshita family.

That night, Takeshita Shun and the 120 special forces soldiers he brought from Japan who had been trained for many years.

They set out from the military camp in the suburbs of Peking, boarded a large truck, and disappeared into the night.

On a train bound for Shanxi, more than one hundred Japanese soldiers sat quietly in the carriage to rest.

Their attire was no different from that of ordinary infantrymen.

But every Japanese soldier had a big bag next to him, and no one knew what was inside.

The train rumbled along and finally arrived at Pingding County, the border between Hebei and Shanxi, in the afternoon of the next day.

Their numbers were different from those of the ordinary Japanese troops. A Japanese patrol also came to inquire and was told that they were new recruits to supplement the First Army.

Half an hour later, the train finally slowly drove out of Pingding County.

It was just that the train slowed down after entering a corner.

The door of the carriage was opened from the inside.

Then one after another, the Japanese soldiers jumped out of the carriages and disappeared once again into the darkness of North China.

It is nearly 400 kilometers away from here to Zhaojiayu.

Takeshita Shun planned to start from here, hiking to Zhaojiayu by hiding during the day and traveling at night.

One of the reasons why they did not get off in Taiyuan was to keep it secret.

Because they now don't quite believe that the First Army's confidentiality measures can be foolproof.

Another thing is that their purpose of coming to North China could not be concealed from the First Army.

Takeshita Shunya was afraid of being betrayed by his own people again, so the First Army didn't even need to send out any troops.

They only needed to pull out ten infantry guns and provide a few artillery fire attacks.

Then tell this "good" news to the nearby Eighth Route Army troops, and they will probably be unable to escape.
