Chapter 118 "I think his independent regiment is just a dough"
The Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan.
After receiving the reply from the Independent Regiment, the correspondent quickly translated it.
"Report to the commander, the independent regiment has called back."
The communicator handed the telegram to the leader.
The leader took the telegram from the communicator and started reading it. After reading the contents of the telegram, the leader's face turned pale.
"Damn it, what kind of war is the Independent Regiment fighting?"
The chief of staff, who was standing by, heard the leader getting angry and immediately asked.
"Commander, what on earth made you so angry?"
"Chief of Staff, please take a look at the contents of this telegram."
The chief said as he handed the document to the chief of staff.
"A main force regiment was defeated by a small Japanese force, and the casualty ratio was 200:0."
"This is not a main group, I think it should be called a dough."
"Who is the leader of this independent regiment? Get rid of him. Even if I replace him with a pig, he will be better than him."
The chief of staff said hurriedly.
"Commander, the current leader of the independent regiment is Kong Jie."
"Kong Jie is a veteran of the Eighth Route Army and is very capable of leading troops in battle. There must be something fishy about the battle last night. I think we should find out the situation clearly..."
The chief interrupted the chief of staff directly.
"Chief of Staff, please stop talking. The head of the independent regiment must be removed immediately. If he continues to lead the regiment, my independent regiment will be ruined."
"An entire independent regiment of more than 2000 people was unable to defeat a small group of Japanese soldiers, and they didn't even leave a hair of them. What do I need him as the regiment leader for? He should be my groom as soon as possible."
After the chief had vented his anger, he turned to the communicator and gave an order.
"Communicator, send a telegram to the Independent Regiment immediately and convey the headquarters' instructions."
................
The headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City.
Yamamoto Ikki is reporting the situation to the First Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Your Excellency Commander, last night my special operations brigade launched a decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but an accident occurred during the operation. We were discovered by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in the Yangcun area, and finally had to abandon the operation."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded after hearing the report.
"Yoshi, Mr. Yamamoto, although the decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army headquarters did not destroy it,
But we have found the location of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Base. I believe that in the next operation, your special forces will be able to destroy the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Base in one fell swoop."
"Mr. Yamamoto, your special operations team really surprises me more and more. In my opinion, your special operations concept is very good. I hope that in the next operation,
If you can achieve brilliant results, I will report to the commander-in-chief and implement special operations tactics."
When Yamamoto Ikki heard what Yoshio Shinozuka said, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
His special warfare ideas were not well received by the old-fashioned people in the domestic base. They believed that war should be fought head-on with real guns and swords to defeat the enemy. They were dismissive of the old-fashioned people in the special operations base and did not think they could play any role in the war situation.
So when he returned from Germany after completing his studies, he was full of enthusiasm to promote the concept of special operations, but the reality gave him a heavy blow.
No one in the base camp was optimistic about his special operations concept, so he specially trained a special forces team and sent them to the Chinese battlefield, hoping to shine on the Chinese battlefield and gain a lot of support for the subsequent implementation of his special operations concept.
"Thank you, Commander. My special forces will definitely destroy the Eighth Route Army headquarters in one fell swoop in the next operation." Yamamoto Ikki promised.
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded with satisfaction.

Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
The correspondent received a telegram from headquarters. When he translated the contents of the telegram, he was completely dumbfounded.
He could hardly believe what he saw. The communicator did not dare to delay and immediately got up and ran to the regiment headquarters.
Inside the independent regiment headquarters.
Kong Jie was in great pain at this time. The independent regiment suffered more than 200 casualties and failed to kill a single Japanese soldier. This was a major blow to the morale of the entire independent regiment.
Kong Jie just couldn't understand why such a powerful Japanese army would sneak into his independent regiment's Yangcun base in the pitch-black night.
At this time, the first battalion commander Shen Quan walked in, and Kong Jie saw Shen Quan coming.
"Shen Quan, you're here just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
"Captain, what do you want?"
"Shen Quan, why did that group of Japanese soldiers sneak into our Yangcun base so late at night? With so few people, it doesn't seem like they came to fight with our independent regiment."
After hearing what Kong Jie said, Shen Quan pondered for a moment.
Then he walked to the map and looked at it carefully.
"Captain, I have roughly guessed the Japs' purpose."
Kong Jie asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what is the purpose of this group of devils?"
"Captain, think about it. Our independent regiment has just arrived in Yangcun not long ago, and the Japanese troops have come here. What's more, the combat effectiveness of this group of Japanese is very strong. We have never encountered such Japanese troops on the battlefield, and our independent regiment is not a valuable target."
As Shen Quan spoke, he pointed to Daxia Bay behind Yangcun.
"Captain, in my opinion, the target of the Japanese must be the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan behind our Yang Village. Only with such a high-value target would the Japanese send out a small force with such strong combat effectiveness. They must want to carry out a decapitation operation against our Eighth Route Army headquarters base."
"This is the only way to explain why the Japanese sneaked into Yang Village. If they hadn't been discovered by our soldiers on guard, the headquarters would have been in danger."
After listening to Shen Quan's analysis, Kong Jie nodded in agreement.
He couldn't help but feel a fear in his heart. If this Japanese army was allowed to pass through the Yangcun area, the headquarters would be in danger. The garrison troops at the headquarters were no match for this Japanese army.
"Shen Quan, you are right. This group of Japanese soldiers must have headed for our headquarters base in Daxia Bay. Fortunately, they were discovered by our independent regiment this time."
"Captain, this time our independent regiment is taking the blame for the headquarters."
After hearing this, Kong Jie said loudly: "Shen Quan, as long as the safety of the headquarters can be guaranteed, it will be worth it even if our independent regiment is wiped out this time."
