Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 62: The deputy director who studied civil engineering

 The correspondents at the brigade headquarters rode towards their respective destinations on horseback as soon as they received the order.

Yangcun, independent regiment headquarters.

At this time, Kong Jie was smoking a pipe pot in his room. He was in a good mood recently.

 The troops rested for a while. Apart from providing reinforcements to Li Yunlong, there were almost no large-scale battles in these days.

 The independent regiment gradually regained its former combat effectiveness, and both personnel and equipment were replenished.

It's a pity that Nobutsu Sakata has been dealt with by his old friend, otherwise he might have another chance to meet him in the future, which makes Kong Jie a little regretful.

By this time, the brigade correspondent had arrived at his destination, and someone immediately picked him up after entering the village. One guard took his horse to the stable, and another guard took him to the regimental headquarters.

Because he was in a hurry to return to the brigade headquarters to resume his duties, this dedicated correspondent did not even bother to drink water before conveying the news.

After hearing the information, Kong Jie ordered the guards to bring a bowl of water, while he himself smoked a pipe and fell into deep thought.

“Yamamoto Special Agent Team? Elite? I’ve never heard of it.”

Although most of Jin Province has fallen, the Eighth Route Army's intelligence system in enemy-occupied areas is not weak, thanks to the silently dedicated underground workers.

He basically knew all the Japanese officers by name, but this was the first time he heard the name of Colonel Yamaki Kazuki.

Colonel is not just a cat or a dog. Nobutetsu Sakata, who caused great losses to the Independent Regiment in the past, also holds this rank.

Generally speaking, in the front-line combat troops, the Japanese commanders mainly hold two types of positions.

 Either the commander of the combat unit, or the combat staff next to the lieutenant general division commander.

Moreover, this was the first time Kong Jie was exposed to the concept of special operations, and it was also the first time he heard that the Japanese had such a force. He subconsciously joined the division's special agent battalion.

If Zheng Yingqi leads a small force, without preparedness, their independent regiment will definitely suffer heavy losses.

 Next, the correspondent at the brigade headquarters completely repeated the intelligence provided by Huang He, including the number of people and firepower configuration of the Yamamoto special agent team.

 After waiting for Kong Jie to digest the current intelligence, the correspondent dropped another bombshell.

“And according to the analysis of the brigade staff, the target of this enemy group is most likely the headquarters located in Daxia Bay.”

Kong Jie looked at the other party in disbelief. He did not expect that the other party would dare to attract the attention of the headquarters with only 80 people. This kind of person is either crazy or has some real abilities.

 But this was news from the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander personally ordered his defense area to be more vigilant, which he took very seriously.

“What other information is there? Are there any other instructions from the brigade headquarters?”

Kong Jie continued to ask, this may be the first big job that their independent regiment has faced since it regained its combat effectiveness, and he didn't want to be a coward again.

The correspondent immediately replied:

“The brigade commander also said that this Yamamoto special agent team is proficient in fighting and shooting. Moreover, they have rich combat experience and are good at night fighting.”

“When they march, they are generally divided into three combat groups, each group has more than 20 people. They have strong penetration ability and can pass through cliffs dozens of meters high as a whole group.”

Kong Jie nodded and ordered the guards to take good care of the correspondent. After everyone left, Kong Jie looked at the map in the room and fell into deep thought.

 They are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. This matter needs to be treated with caution for the independent group and existing resources must be integrated.

 At present, their regiment has a total of more than 1,300 people, but there are some newly recruited recruits. Excluding the support personnel, there are almost 1,200 soldiers capable of participating in the battle. In terms of weapons, their regiment now barely has one rifle per person. Although it also includes old sleeves and those made in Hanyang, due to the existence of the Yellow River, bullets can be considered relatively abundant.

As for light machine guns and mortars, they are a bit shabby. Originally I heard that it would be possible to install new weapons in June this year, but the weapons that were originally lent to the New Regiment were not returned.

  But under the current situation, if you want to face the powerful Yamamoto Kazuki, even the old gadgets from World War I will have to be brought back for emergency use.

“Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.” Kong Jie said to himself helplessly.

Their independent regiment needs a big victory to revive their morale. If they can defeat the so-called special forces of the Japanese, everything will be fine.

 There are many problems he needs to solve now, and the top priority is to solve the night blindness of the soldiers. The enemy will most likely launch an attack at night, so how can you fight back if you can't see them?

 The second thing is to purchase as many heavy weapons as possible for the troops. To rely solely on rifles to deal with the elite old devils is simply courting death.

 As a future defense master and an unyielding defender, Kong Jie vowed to fight this battle beautifully.

　　————————

 Daxia Bay, headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

 After receiving the information from the brigade headquarters, the deputy general manager, who had fought his way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, curled his lips in disdain. To be honest, those who wanted to get rid of him could be lined up from Jin Province to Shenyang.

If only a small force can threaten his safety, then the Anti-Japanese War should not be fought.

“Yamamoto special agent team? The source of intelligence is Huang He.”

  He still admires this young man who returned from Europe.

At this time, the deputy general staff officer came in from outside. As soon as he received the information, he organized a meeting with the staff members.

  After all, this involves the security of the headquarters agency, and he also has to find out the reason for the leak.

If the information provided by Huang He is true, it means that the Japanese have a way to find the location of the headquarters.

If you can’t figure out how the Japanese knew it, you’ll be in trouble.

This time a small group of elite enemies came for a sneak attack. Will planes come next time?

Seeing the somewhat unhappy vice president, he said:

“If the coordinates of our headquarters are really exposed, the possibility of it being leaked by spies is very low. The staff department has just conducted an emergency investigation, and all the correspondents in the army have been working normally recently.”

“There is basically no possibility of human-caused leakage.”

“So I just contacted the deputy director. After all, those who study civil engineering know better. He thinks it is very likely that our radio signals have been captured by the devils.”

 The vice president thought for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "As long as it's not an enemy plane coming, we don't have to move at all."

“Let’s do this. First, we will allocate a battalion from the headquarters’ special service group to protect us.”

"Only one battalion will be transferred, and it will not affect the arsenal for the time being. Since the deputy director said it might be the radio station, he will definitely handle the matter."

 The division commander on the side looked at the map, and he quickly analyzed the route for Yamamoto Kazuki to attack. But I just know that these are of little use. After all, it is impossible to keep infantry along the way.

“In short, our 129th Division will definitely be responsible for the security mission, so don’t worry.”

Question: Who is the deputy director?
