Chapter 194: Build the plank road openly, secretly attack Chencang!
"Captain, why do I feel like the Japanese are just trying to play tricks and don't really want to negotiate?"
After Lin Sanhuo arranged for the personnel to prepare the artillery, he spoke to Qin Yangming, who had finished loading the bullets and was checking the sniper rifle in his hand.
"Hmph, don't feel it, Yamamoto Ikki must be playing tricks."
Listening to Lin Sanhuo's question, Qin Yangming put aside the sniper rifle he had just inspected and replied with a disdainful tone.
"I just don't know what Yamamoto Ikki is up to."
Although it is unclear what Yamamoto Ikki wants to do under the pretext of negotiation, Qin Yangming can guarantee with certainty that Yamamoto Ikki absolutely does not want to surrender.
But Qin Yangming didn't care what tricks Yamamoto Ikki wanted to play.
After all, judging from the current situation, delaying time would be very disadvantageous to Yamamoto Ikki.
There is no way that Yamamoto Ikki didn't understand this.
If they were to retreat, Yamamoto Ikki and his so-called special forces team would have been trapped behind the mound, unable to move at all.
If Yamamoto Ikki dared to leave the mound with his men, he would be faced with countless bullets.
There was a large open space behind the mound, and Yamamoto Ikki had nowhere to hide when he was shot down from the cliff.
Qin Yangming touched his chin, wondering how he would handle this situation if he were Yamamoto Ikki.
"If I were Yamamoto Ikki, the best thing to do in this situation would be to hold on and wait for air support...
But Yamamoto Ikki was not far from us, and the accuracy of aircraft of that era was not that high, so it was easy to drop the bomb on one's own head during the bombing.
Another thing is that at this point in time, the Japanese planes had probably just taken off, and it would take an hour or two for them to fly over. In such a long time, Yamamoto Ikki would have been eliminated long ago... Waiting for air force support was impossible.
In this situation, you can only find a way to retreat on your own.
If you want to retreat, the open space behind the mound is a dead end, unless... Oh, this old guy Yamamoto Ikki really wants to run away!"
Soon, Qin Yangming figured out what Yamamoto Ikki's purpose was in using the excuse of negotiation.
Yamamoto Ikki used the excuse that the purpose of the negotiations was not to delay time, but to distract their attention and lower their vigilance.
Just imagine, a Japanese colonel expressed his willingness to surrender under the pretext of negotiation.
Normally speaking, what should a military commander of the Eighth Route Army do?
Of course, you have to accept the other party's surrender.
A living Japanese colonel is worth much more than a dead Japanese colonel.
Let’s not talk about how much propaganda effect the surrender of a Japanese colonel to the Eighth Route Army could have.
To be more practical, a Japanese colonel holds a lot of important information.
Especially the special Japanese colonel like Yamamoto Ikki.
Apart from anything else, Yamamoto Ikki was definitely clear about the city defense deployment of Taiyuan City.
In addition, if Yamamoto Ikki really surrendered, the Eighth Route Army could use the radio carried by Yamamoto Ikki's special forces to transmit false information to the 4th Brigade, and then lure the 4th Brigade into a trap.
Moreover, as a member of the special forces team, Yamamoto Kazuki would definitely need an insider if he wanted to carry out this kind of decapitation operation with precise regional precision.
If Yamamoto Ikki surrenders, then he can be used to directly dig out and kill those hidden spies.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army has always had a rule that if the other party surrenders, it must be accepted.
Whether from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of regulations.
As long as Yamamoto Ikki told the Eighth Route Army that he wanted to surrender, the Eighth Route Army had to respond, whether it was true or not.
Thinking of this, Qin Yangming continued to add to Lin Sanhuo.
"Humph, this devil Yamamoto Ikki knows our Eighth Route Army very well.
He understood that as long as he spoke of surrender, whether true or false, we would definitely respond.
As soon as we responded, he could use the conversation with us to make it look like he wanted to surrender.
Then they pretended to negotiate and surrender to lower our vigilance, and finally ran away when our vigilance was lowered to a certain level! "
Goudan, who was behind Qin Yangming, spoke with some confusion as he listened to what Qin Yangming said to Lin Sanhuo.
“But Commander, there is a large open space behind the mound.
Even if Yamamoto Ikki lowered our vigilance and then escaped, he had to pass through the open space behind if he wanted to escape.
But as soon as Yamamoto appeared in that open space, we knew he was going to escape.
The open space at the back was so large that we had enough time to react and attack Yamamoto Ikki.
When the time comes, he won't be able to escape even if the heavy machine gun fires at him."
Listening to what Goudan said, Qin Yangming nodded in affirmation, and then continued speaking.
"You are right. Under normal circumstances, if the enemy is an ordinary Japanese soldier, the only option is to surrender and wait for death.
In this case, fake surrender will not work.
But the one on the opposite side is Yamamoto Kazuki. Although I look down on Yamamoto Kazuki's so-called special operations, I also admit that Yamamoto Kazuki is quite capable.
For ordinary Japanese soldiers, perhaps they can only wait for death or surrender.
But Yamamoto Ikki is different.
What we can think of, Yamamoto Kazuki can also think of.
If Yamamoto Ikki wants to escape, he must block our sight.
The nature of Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team is the same as our assault platoon.
Our assault platoon all carried smoke bombs.
Yamamoto Ikki's special forces must have smoke bombs as well.
When Yamamoto Ikki thinks that our vigilance has been lowered, he will definitely order a large number of smoke bombs to be thrown into that open space.
I guess Yamamoto Ikki must be planning to suddenly throw a smoke bomb after lowering our vigilance.
When throwing smoke bombs, our vigilance is reduced.
So he subconsciously shifted his attention to the area where Yamamoto Ikki threw the smoke bomb.
At that time, Yamamoto Ikki will seize the opportunity and have someone shoot at the edge of the cliff.
Yamamoto Ikki's special forces are all equipped with submachine guns. At this distance, Yamamoto Ikki's special forces pose a great threat to us.
When the time comes and Yamamoto Ikki's special forces attack, we will definitely dodge subconsciously.
Without sight, we cannot shoot accurately.
Then Yamamoto Ikki will be able to seize this opportunity to withdraw."
Qin Yangming only looked down on Yamamoto Ikki's special combat methods, not on Yamamoto Ikki's personal strength. In Qin Yangming's opinion, in terms of individual strength alone, Yamamoto Ikki can be regarded as a top soldier.
When special operations were just emerging, the true use of special operations had already been explored.
Compared with Yamamoto Ikki, Qin Yangming just has more experience than Yamamoto Ikki. If the conditions are the same, Qin Yangming cannot guarantee that he will be stronger than Yamamoto Ikki.
Therefore, Qin Yangming believed that the solution he could think of could definitely be thought of by Yamamoto Ikki.
Qin Yangming had just put himself into Yamamoto Ikki's situation. If he were trapped like this, he would also make the same choice as Yamamoto Ikki.
Lower the enemy's vigilance, and then take the opportunity to throw smoke bombs to block the enemy's vision and distract their attention.
Finally, they took turns to provide covering fire to suppress the enemy's firepower and took the opportunity to retreat.
But unfortunately, this is not a normal situation.
Qin Yangming had no intention of capturing Yamamoto Ikki alive, and he also knew that Yamamoto Ikki would never surrender!
Therefore, Yamamoto Ikki's plan was doomed to fail from the beginning!
"Then Captain, should we respond to Yamamoto Ikki?"
After hearing Qin Yangming say that Yamamoto Ikki's surrender was fake and he wanted to use the fake surrender to escape, Lin Sanhuo asked Qin Yangming.
Qin Yangming nodded and looked at the mound below with disdain.
“Respond, why not respond?
If word gets out, people would think that we, the Eighth Route Army, don't even dare to speak the words of the Japanese.
You talk to Yamamoto Ikki. Anyway, we need to wait for the Type 92 infantry gun to be delivered and the assault platoon to come back.
Since Yamamoto Ikki wants to delay time and lower our vigilance, then we will do as he wishes.
Let everyone be prepared. If the Japanese make any unusual movements, open fire directly without hesitation.
Humph, this Japanese guy Yamamoto Ikki wants to play the trick of repairing the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang on me.
He is still a little immature!
When the Type 92 infantry gun is delivered, I will not care whether your surrender is fake or real, you will be fucking killed.
Even if a few of them managed to escape alive, I don't believe they can escape the pursuit of the assault platoon."
Hearing Lin Sanhuo asking whether to respond to Yamamoto Ikki, Qin Yangming directly decided to let Lin Sanhuo respond to Yamamoto Ikki.
Wait for the Type 92 infantry gun and mortar to be delivered.
When the time comes, the Type 92 infantry gun will approach and fire directly. With the defensive capability of the earth mound, it will be no problem to block the bullets, but it will be a bit difficult to block the artillery shells.
Even if Yamamoto Ikki and his men escaped, with just a few seconds, they couldn't even escape the range of the heavy machine guns, let alone the mortars and infantry guns?
Moreover, the assault platoon was speeding up to rush back. Qin Yangming didn't think that by then, the few Japanese special forces soldiers left would be able to escape from the assault platoon.
Qin Yangming believed that the soldiers in the assault platoon he trained could defeat Yamamoto Ikki's special forces even in a head-on confrontation!
This is Qin Yangming’s confidence, this is the confidence from the top special forces of later generations!
When Lin Sanhuo saw Qin Yangming asking him to talk to Yamamoto Ikki, he started shouting in Chinese towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Listen to me, Yamamoto Ikki. I am your Eighth Route Army grandfather. If you want to talk, put down your weapons and come out. We have plenty of time to talk!
As long as you and your men lay down your weapons and surrender, I promise that I will never shoot you! "
"Oh, you promised not to shoot, but you can't guarantee that others won't shoot, right, Captain? He's learning from you."
When Goudan listened to what Lin Sanhuo said, he instantly thought of some of the things Qin Yangming had said before. Then he smiled and pointed at Lin Sanhuo and teased Qin Yangming.
“Hahaha, I’m just worried about what will happen if that devil Yamamoto Ikki really shows up.
Anyway, I just promised not to shoot, I didn't ask others to shoot too.
Besides, I am not the biggest person here. I am just a company commander. The regiment commander is still here. As long as the regiment commander doesn't speak, there will be nothing wrong even if he orders to open fire.
After all, the boss is in Baihu Ridge, so we should be more honest and not play tricks that could lead to accidents."
After speaking, Yamamoto Ikki, who was behind the mound, was waiting for a response from the Eighth Route Army on the cliff.
After seeing that the Eighth Route Army on the cliff had not responded, Yamamoto Ikki originally wanted to continue to seduce them.
Hearing the sound coming from the cliff at this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the Eighth Route Army on the cliff would remain silent.
The Eighth Route Army’s lack of response meant that it had made up its mind not to take any lives and must annihilate them all.
At that time, the only thing waiting for them is death, there is no other way.
Now the Eighth Route Army has responded, even though the tone is not very good, it can still show that the Eighth Route Army still has the idea of capturing them alive.
After all, Yamamoto Ikki has revealed his identity. Yamamoto Ikki believes that his identity as a colonel must be full of temptation to the Eighth Route Army.
Yamamoto Ikki guessed that the Eighth Route Army must want to capture him alive and force him to surrender. Since they didn't respond to him for such a long time, they must have gone to ask their superiors for instructions.
Moreover, the other party could understand his Japanese, which meant that he must be a high-ranking officer of the Eighth Route Army, at least at the level of a regiment commander.
Otherwise, it would be good enough for the other Eighth Route Army soldiers to be able to write and read, let alone speak Japanese.
At this moment, Yamamoto Ikki thought that the Eighth Route Army had fallen into his trap. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he shouted towards the top of the cliff.
"Eighth Route Army on the cliff, I am the commander of the special forces team under the First Army of the Japanese Shanxi Garrison, Colonel Yamamoto Ikki. May I ask which unit you are from? Can you tell me your unit number?
And the name of your military commander? ! "
"Listen up to me, you little devils! The one who just beat you to a pulp was the Sixth Company of the Vanguard Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!
As for the name of our leader, you are not worthy to know it!"
Yamamoto Ikki was stunned when he heard Lin Sanhuo's answer, and then he quickly thought about the vanguard regiment of the 386th Brigade.
"Hayamura-kun, does the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army have a vanguard regiment?
Judging from the opponent's strength, it is obviously a main force, but why is the name of the main force the Vanguard Regiment?
Why don’t they have numbers?”
The Vanguard Group had just been formed less than two weeks ago. Naturally, Yamamoto Ikki had no intelligence about the Vanguard Group, nor did he know any information about the Vanguard Group.
So he directly asked his adjutant Hayamura Tengshan.
Hayamura Tengshan listened to Yamamoto Ikki's question, thought for a while, frowned and shook his head.
"Colonel, I have never heard of the name Vanguard Regiment.
It might be the so-called basic regiment formed by the Eighth Route Army, not a regular militia unit. "
Yamamoto Ikki shook his head after listening to what Hayamura Tengshan said.
“No, this vanguard group is so powerful, it is definitely not a militia.
I have a feeling that the Vanguard Group will be a huge threat to us in the future!
If the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the cliff were not lying, a company commander of the Eighth Route Army could actually understand Japanese... This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is definitely not an ordinary group of Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
Hearing Hayamura Tengshan say that the Eighth Route Army on the cliff should be a militia unit, Yamamoto Ikki simply waved his hand.
Yamamoto Ikki really couldn't believe that an Eighth Route Army unit with such luxurious equipment and such powerful strength was actually just an Eighth Route Army militia unit that had not been formally organized!
The militia is so powerful, so what about the main forces? What about the regular troops?
