The secret war is silent

Luo Yao doesn't like competing for credit.

If the credit is yours, there is no need to fight for it. If the credit is not yours, it will be useless if you fight for it. Furthermore, does he need the credit here?

unnecessary.

He is now assisting the Fifth War Zone in fighting the war. There is no need to take other people's work. This is unethical.

It will arouse the resentment of everyone in the Five War Zones, especially the Guangxi faction.

Enough is enough as a human being, and at this time, it was not necessary for him to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Yagyu Yoshizawa, the escaped Japanese special operations team.

"Team leader, the call has been connected. Degong wants to speak to you." The technician in charge of limited communications in the 401 team ran over and reported.

"I'll come right away."

"Hello, Mr. De, this is Fang Yuan." Luo Yao returned to the tent and picked up the phone. The line he had just connected was still a little unstable.

"Everything is fine here. Don't worry, it's okay. There are some casualties, but not serious. The wounded need to be transported to the hospital for treatment..."

"Thank you for your concern. I have enough supplies and manpower."

…

After hanging up the phone, not only Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but also Li Delin on the other end of the phone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Luo Yao had anticipated his enemy this time. If something happened to Group 401, it would be difficult for him to explain to Chiang Kai-shek.

He personally went to ask Chiang Kai-shek to come over, but he was still in the rear of his control area, and something happened.

Isn't it true that he is not well-protected, and there are many talented people in the 401 team who are treasure-level code-deciphering talents.

Even if one of these people is injured, it is a loss to the country.

"Gong De, how do you think this team leader knew that after this small Japanese army attacked our theater commander's headquarters, the next target would be them and not others?" Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi asked.

Li Delin frowned slightly. This was indeed a puzzling thing. It was so strange that the Japanese attacked his headquarters. It was understandable, but why did they attack the 401 team? And how did the Japanese know that they were in Baolin Temple? .

Not many people in the Fifth War Zone knew the true identity of the 401 Group. At the beginning of this battle, although the 401 Group did not directly participate in the battle, he was very clear about the role it played. Without the new code system provided by Luo Yao , their secret communications are likely to be mastered by the Japanese army, and their actions will be under the control of their opponents.

And now, although we have not been able to decipher the Japanese army's answer, at least we are on the same starting line in terms of secret communication.

Moreover, the information provided by the 401 Group on the bombing of the Japanese Army Air Force effectively prevented casualties among the troops in the fifth theater, which can be said to have made a great contribution.

If Luo Yao really knew that the Japanese army had sent a small group of elite troops to sneak in disguised as "national troops" and sneak attack on the headquarters of the commander of the fifth theater area, he would definitely remind him immediately. Otherwise, if the bombing of Laohekou was carried out without knowing it, Under the circumstances, there was no time to transfer so many people.

That would be a disaster.

"Is it possible that this elite Japanese squad actually came for the 401 group and just accidentally attacked our headquarters?" Li Delin analyzed.

"This is unlikely, is it? Our value is not as good as a 401 group?" Confidential Secretary Huang Xuecun said in surprise.

Did the theater commander's headquarters prevent disaster for others?

No, how is this possible?

Huang Xuecun didn't believe this anyway, something must have gone wrong in some way.

"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. The predecessor of the 401 Group was the 'X' Group. You should have seen the relevant battle reports of its role in the Battle of Xiangcheng. The Japanese Army's Shangcun Detachment detoured from Dongting Lake to sneak attack on the important material warehouse transfer station of the Ninth War Zone at Yingkou. It was the 'X' team that deciphered the Japanese military messages in advance and launched the attack in time, which made the Japanese army's conspiracy go bankrupt. Then we took advantage of the Japanese army's unknown situation to lure the enemy deep into the army and achieved a great victory at Yinlong Mountain. This battle was achieved by Ning Okamura. This plot went bankrupt. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and retreated in time, we could even have left the main force of his 11th Army in Xiangcheng, and then the current situation would not be like this." Li Delin sighed with emotion.

"Do you think '401' is of great value? At that time, the Japanese military intelligence department listed Luo Youning, the leader of the 'X' group, as an extremely dangerous person. He was among the top people that the Japanese intelligence agency wanted to eliminate. In the mountain city, Japanese spies had organized He was assassinated, but because he lived in seclusion and did not give his opponents a chance at all, at the beginning of this year, the military secret interpretation room, the secret inspection office of the Military Commission directly under the Ministry of Communications, as well as the 43rd station of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the secret research team of the Central Military Commission's confidential room Also, the Japanese spy 'White Fox' lurking in the mountain city wanted to prevent Luo Youning from having a greater say in the newly established military technical room..."

The Gui Clan also has its own intelligence system. It is not surprising that Li Delin knows this. Besides, Shancheng also has Bai Jiansheng as the deputy chief. As the deputy chief, he can naturally see some things that others cannot.

And Li Delin and he were old friends who had worked together for many years. How could Li Delin not discuss it with Bai Jiansheng when he asked the old man for someone?

Naturally, Bai Jiansheng would not hide what happened to Luo Yao from him, and there was nothing to hide.

In fact, Li Delin didn't need to tell these things originally, but since his subordinates had doubts, he naturally had to clear them up to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Moreover, they have encountered such an attack once in Xiangcheng. It is likely that the lesson learned from that time made him pay special attention to his own safety, which is why he made arrangements and vigilance in advance."

"According to our understanding, this small Japanese army is composed of veterans of hundreds of battles. Their combat effectiveness and willpower are absolutely extraordinary. And after they got rid of our pursuers, they went to sneak attack Baolin Temple, and even if Baolin Temple found out in advance and made preparations for the battle, but if it were a forced attack, Baolin Temple only had one reinforced platoon and was no match for them."

"That's because they have their own escort team, all composed of military agents. The weapons equipped are beyond your imagination." Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi chuckled. He still knew this. A fifteen-person combat team The detachment is actually equipped with 60mm mortars, light machine guns, and various small weapons.

"Is it possible that they are also equipped with artillery?"

"The artillery is too big and can be seen at a glance, but they are indeed equipped with a small-caliber mortar and carry a dozen shells with them." Xu Zuyi said.

Huang Xuecun was stunned after hearing this.

The national army is so poor that a battalion may not be equipped with a mortar. He is only a combat unit and is equipped with one. It is too extravagant.

"Guess who their gunner is?"

"Could it be those talented people in the 401 group who are good at math and writing?"

"Yes, this is what Staff Officer Wei saw with his own eyes. The people who operate this mortar are the math and writing technicians of the 401 Group." Xu Zuyi said, "If it wasn't so powerful, how could it be possible to defeat this veteran of 100 battles? The Japanese team formed and fled in panic, leaving nearly twenty corpses behind. We were just like that last night, right?"

Huangxue Village was a little messy. Although the battle last night was a hasty battle, the theater headquarters was also heavily defended. There was a battalion of nearby guards, not to mention the headquarters, which also had a guard company, with at least about 300 people.

In this way, the people who were beaten were still turned upside down, and even the ancestral hall where the headquarters was located was occupied by others.

Of course no one was inside.

There were nearly 70 or 80 casualties, with a kill ratio of more than two to one.

It's embarrassing to say this. In the end, they took the initiative to withdraw. If the trapped beast still fights, then after this battle, even if people are left behind, the casualties are estimated to be even more devastating.

You can't slap yourself in the face in the battle report. You can only say that you repelled the Japanese sneak attack, so that you can save some face.

It can be seen how powerful the Japanese are in combat.

However, Baolin Temple's '401' team actually achieved almost the same results with far fewer troops than theirs. The death ratio was only one to two. If it weren't for Cheng Zian's command error, the number of casualties might have been even lower.

In this comparison, it appears how incompetent the theater headquarters is.

Huang Xuecun was a little worried.

"Xuecun, I can't leave. Please go to Baolin Temple for me to understand and record the battle process in detail. It will be reflected in the battle report to Chairman Chiang later." Li Delin ordered.

"Yes, Mr. De." Huang Xuecun agreed immediately. He was also a little curious about how Luo Yao and the "401" team did it.

"Report!" At this time, a combat staff officer ran in and saluted.

"Come in!"

"Report to Chief Li, the special agents have surrounded the Japanese troops who attacked the theater headquarters and Baolin Temple last night in Dongshanzui, and are preparing to launch the final attack!"

"So fast?" Li Delin and Xu Zuyi looked at each other, with a look of surprise on each other's faces.

"Captain Gao reported that it was Team Leader Fang of the 401 team who had a clever plan. This group of Japanese soldiers actually changed their identities again, disguised themselves as a funeral procession, and passed our inspection."

"Why didn't the checkpoint intercept it?" Xu Zuyi asked.

"This is also what Team Leader Fang explained. The reason why the checkpoint is not intercepted is that once intercepted, the concerned national troops may be massacred by the Japanese army. Secondly, it also paralyzes the Japanese army. As long as their whereabouts are revealed, we can calmly Arrange it, surround it, and capture them all!" the staff officer replied.

"Wonderful, it not only avoids unnecessary damage, but also kills all the enemies in one fell swoop. What a good plan!" Li Delin applauded, stroking his palms.

"The Japs think they have deceived us with this method, so they will not be too anxious. In fact, we already know it, so we can quickly mobilize our troops, surround them heavily, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Xu Zuyi also came to his senses.

"It would be a joke if the Japanese army just slipped away from our fifth theater!" Li Delin nodded.

He also wanted to save face. This group of Japanese soldiers disguised themselves as "national troops" and caused trouble behind the Fifth War Zone, and then returned intact. Wouldn't that greatly boost the morale of the Japanese army?

Even though there were just dozens of Japanese troops, this had a huge impact on the morale of the Fifth Theater Zone. Only by completely retaining them could they be restored.

…

Luo Yao also received news that the Japanese team was surrounded by a heavy force of special agents in a place called Dongshanzui.

Looking at the map, we can see that it is actually not very far from Baolin Temple, only about twenty miles.

Do you want to take a look?

Luo Yao really couldn't make a decision. After thinking about it, he felt that Yagyu Yoshizawa was a threat to him.

He was a little reluctant not to see this guy killed or captured.

So, after explaining the affairs at home, he called Wei Zhiming, and with two guards, the four of them rode horses to Dongshanzui.

It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket. Whether you can get more than 2,000 monthly tickets depends on you guys!
