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

Chapter 143 Whether we can survive this crisis depends on you, the great expert! 3-character chapter

Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold, Yoshino Regiment Headquarters.

Masao Yoshino looked at the list of supplies sent by Major Yoshiharu. Just last night, all the supplementary supplies were delivered, and even the troops were replenished. The Yoshino Regiment has regained its previous combat effectiveness. Except for the lack of tank replenishment, the personnel have been fully staffed, reaching 4000 people.

Yoshino Masao smiled and thanked Hirata Kojiro, "Thank you very much for Hirata-kun's strong support. If it weren't for Hirata-kun's mediation, our regiment's reinforcements wouldn't have arrived so quickly. With sufficient troops and ammunition, I promise to capture the frontier position of the Independent Regiment within a day and plant the flag of the Empire on the position of the Independent Regiment!"

Kojiro Hirata accepted Yoshino Masao's kindness and also expressed his request: "Mr. Yoshino, I want to follow you to the battlefield to experience it. I wonder if you can meet my request?"

Yoshino Masao agreed without hesitation and said, "Hirata-kun, I'm very happy to do it. It would be a very lucky thing to have you as a witness!"

Yamamoto Ikki jumped out at an inopportune moment and said in a serious tone, "Yoshino-kun, you have lost the best opportunity to attack. You should have launched the attack immediately after the bombers finished dropping the bombs, instead of waiting in the stronghold for another two days. You have already missed the best opportunity. If you launch the attack again, the loss of Yoshino's company will be much greater than expected!"

"Also, you have to pay attention to Lin Zhenhua. After I questioned Zhu Ziming and others, I learned that the reason why my special forces were ambushed last time was all because of this person. Until now, I still don't understand how he discovered Zhu Ziming's betrayal. I'm afraid that only after catching him can we know the real reason!"

Yoshino Masayuki replied nonchalantly, "Mr. Yamamoto, you really overestimate Lin Zhenhua. I think there are some coincidences that allowed him to achieve such a good record. Lin Zhenhua is just an ordinary Chinese man. There is nothing special about him. He is not as weird as you say. Instead, you keep hinting to me how powerful he is. I feel that you are a little crazy. Could it be that you were defeated by him before and he has become your inner demon!"

Listening to Yoshino Masao's slightly teasing voice, Yamamoto Ikki suppressed his anger and said sternly: "Yoshino-kun, I just reminded you with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to be so timid. If it weren't for the Imperial Holy War, I wouldn't even bother to tell you this! The reason why I told you to be careful of Lin Zhenhua is that this person's luck is too amazing. He can always turn the impossible into the possible, and he can even turn defeat into victory in front of big money. This kind of person is really scary!"

Yoshino Masao waved his hand and replied impatiently: "Mr. Yamamoto, you have made no achievements since you came to the 12th Army. It's not that I doubt your ability, but you really don't have any outstanding achievements. Some things can't be convinced by words alone, you have to prove it with actions."

"Since Mr. Yamamoto has failed to prove himself three times in a row, I might as well give him a show. Let him see that there is only one way to eliminate the Tubalu, and that is to kill them all."

Yamamoto Ikki replied contemptuously: "Wildfires cannot burn them all, spring breezes bring them back to life. The vitality of the Tubalu is even stronger than weeds. Do you really think that your Three Alls Policy can solve the Tubalu's problems? I think you are just daydreaming! Since Yoshino-kun wants to show me, I will open my eyes and watch carefully to see if Yoshino-kun can bring me any surprises!"

There is no point in talking unless you agree. After saying this, Yamamoto Ikki left the headquarters angrily. Yoshino Masao looked at his back as he left, threw his command knife heavily on the table, and shouted angrily: "Baga Yaro! Yamamoto, you bastard, you dare to look down on me, I will prove to you that I am right!"

Kojiro Hirata watched the two people arguing and did not try to persuade them. The consecutive defeats were a huge blow to him, and he is now somewhat pessimistic about Yamamoto Ikki's special operations. He was ambushed twice in a row, and no matter how strong he was, he could not stand this kind of humiliation.

After Yoshino Masao calmed down, Hirata Kojiro persuaded him, "Yoshino-kun, you don't have to be so angry. Yamamoto-kun is also considering the Imperial Holy War. Since the Battle of Wuhan, the Empire has no longer been able to organize a large-scale offensive war. Limited by the lack of domestic resources and the foreign embargo, we have even started to have problems with ammunition supply. The headquarters has already proposed a policy of fighting to support the war. It can be seen how serious the situation has become."

"The two factions of going north and south are arguing endlessly, but in my opinion, the Kwantung Army's southward march has become inevitable. If we don't open up new battlefields and acquire new resources, the empire will be unable to support the war in China, and the continental plan will be aborted, and we may even suffer a huge backlash!"

"Our ally, the Third Reich, has occupied the whole of Europe and started to bombard the British Isles. They even considered landing there. The situation is very good! However, the Empire is deeply mired in the war in China and cannot spare the time to fight for world hegemony. If we continue to delay like this, we will lose the opportunity to compete for world hegemony!"

"The Zero fighter is currently the most advanced fighter in the Empire and is in the world's top echelon. It can completely beat all fighters in the world, even those of the Third Reich. The armored steel technology we obtained from the Independent Regiment has been tested by the Imperial Materials Laboratory, and it has been confirmed that the performance of this armored steel is very high. It is 60% higher than the armored steel we used before, 40% lighter, and 30% cheaper. This Y-type armored steel will be used in the construction of new warships, and even the hull of the aircraft carrier whose keel has just been laid will be built with this armored steel."

"Lin Zhenhua is very important. The headquarters asked me to supervise you to ensure his safety when attacking the independent regiment. Even if it costs more imperial warriors, you must capture him. He is indeed a talent in military industry."

"According to Zhu Ziming's explanation, this armored steel is only an emergency product. The real performance is twice as good as this. No matter how much it costs, we must get this technology!"

Lin Zhenhua had never expected that the super armored steel technology he obtained from the system attracted the attention of the Japanese, and was even leaked due to previous poor management. If he knew about it, he would be so angry that he would curse. He was planning to use the armored steel technology to trade with the Third Reich, but he didn't expect that the Japanese would intercept half of it in advance.

Masao Yoshino did not expect that there were so many things involved. No wonder the headquarters still dispatched a brigade and a regiment when the troops were so tight. This shows how much importance they attach to this matter.

Yoshino Masao rubbed his sore eyes and replied seriously: "Hirata-kun, please rest assured that I will complete the headquarters' secret mission, but I ask for the support of the air force. This request is not too much, right?"

Hirata Kojiro rubbed his brows and promised through gritted teeth: "Yes! I will contact my uncle in a moment and ask Taiyuan Airport to dispatch a dozen fighter planes to support your offensive operations!"

Yoshino Masao had a big smile on his face and had someone prepare a table of wine and food. The two of them enjoyed the wine and planned to leave the stronghold tomorrow to attack the independent regiment.

Independent regiment front command.

Lin Zhenhua looked at the intelligence sent by Wei Dayong and Duan Peng, and his expression became more and more excited. The Japanese's ammunition had been replenished, and the army had already shown signs of moving out. Tonight, he decided to take the ambush troops out overnight. They would reach the ambush site in four or five hours, and all the camouflage would be arranged before dark, waiting for the Japanese to arrive. This time, he wanted to teach the Japanese a good lesson and let them see the power of blitzkrieg!

"Lao Li, this is the intelligence that was just delivered to us. The Yoshino Regiment has just completed the replenishment of ammunition and manpower, and even the artillery that was destroyed by us before has been replenished. The Japanese have put in so much effort this time, and they are determined to take our independent regiment. We can't hide from it. We can only fight the Japanese head-on. As long as we don't hurt the Japanese, they won't honestly go back, and they won't live in peace and let us live a good life for a few days!"

Li Yunlong took the intelligence, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "Great expert, whether our independent regiment can survive this crisis depends on you, the great expert! I have only one request in the end, that is to kill the damn Yoshino regiment for me. It is just a reminder to those who want to attack our independent regiment. Our independent regiment is a man-eating tiger. Anyone who dares to provoke our independent regiment will definitely not have a good end!"

Lin Zhenhua said to Wang Chengzhu behind him: "Zhu Zi, I hid the rocket launcher in the anti-aircraft artillery company to keep it secret. From today on, we will no longer hide it. We will show this weapon openly and let the Japanese see the power of our rocket launcher!"

"From now on, the artillery company will be reorganized into an artillery battalion, which will consist of an artillery company, an anti-aircraft artillery company, and a rocket launcher company. From now on, all the artillery of our entire regiment will be handed over to your artillery battalion. Zhuzi, do you dare to take on this important task?"

Wang Chengzhu had never expected such a good thing to happen. He showed his big white teeth and said with a silly smile, "Great expert, in terms of the level of using artillery, you and I are the only ones on par with us in our independent regiment. As for the others, they can't even beat one of my hands. This is not bragging, but the real truth!"

"Master, since you have personally asked me to be in charge of the artillery battalion, I have to take responsibility. As long as you give the order, our artillery battalion will never let the brothers of the independent regiment down. We will definitely beat the little Japanese into a pulp. They are so scared when they hear the name of our artillery battalion!"
