Shinozuka Yoshio's slightly bloated eyes revealed a sharp gaze as he stared straight at Yamamoto.
"You don't think that the special forces should be used to deal with a small target like Li Yunlong. You think that doing so is a waste of the Imperium's resources. Am I right?"
"No, General, I respect you very much. I…" Yamamoto Ichiki hurriedly lowered his head.
Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and interrupted him."Yamamoto, your problem is that you have completely ignored another fact. For example, on the scale of strategy, the weight of an ant can cause the scale to tilt, and so can a small figure.”
"You have to remember that sometimes a small character can change history.”Shinozuka Yoshio said the last sentence earnestly.
He was very optimistic about Yamamoto Ichiki and his special operations thinking, which was why he had always kept him by his side, but at the same time, he wanted to eliminate the arrogance in him.
Such arrogance would make him lose his correct judgment of things, so he had to help him change this habit.
Yamamoto Ichiki was a smart person. He knew what Shinozuka Yoshio meant after hearing that and lowered his head in shame.
Shinozuka Yoshio smiled. He knew that his words had worked, but it was not enough. Yamamoto's thinking was a common problem among almost all the officers of the Empire. If he wanted to completely change it, he needed to use a strong medicine.
"Yamamoto, have you done any research on this Li Yunlong?" Have you gathered any information about him?”
Yamamoto Ichiki's face turned even redder. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Shinozuka Yoshio. He whispered,""I didn't collect them on purpose, but…"
Shinozuka Yoshio didn't let him continue. He said coldly," His troops have fought with us many times, from northwestern Shanxi to central Hebei, then back to central Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi. In many battles, many of our outstanding officers have died in battle. They were all killed by Li Yunlong. Among them, Ichizuki Hirata was just killed in Heyuan City today…"
"Report."
At this moment, the communications staff officer from the headquarters walked in.
"Reporting to the general, the reconnaissance plane just sent news that a group of eight or six hundred people has been discovered in the Panlong Gorge at the junction of Heyuan and Wuxiang. The scout said that this group looks like they have just finished a battle and are cleaning up the battlefield.”
" I've just contacted the 4th Brigade," the communicator reported." The regiment commander of the Kawamura Brigade said that the 17th Garrison Brigade had just sent a farewell telegram at the Coiling Dragon Gorge. All 832 brave soldiers, including the captain, Lieutenant General Heng Shan, were killed. But they haven't found out yet…"
"Report."
This urgent report interrupted the communications staff officer. Then, a communications soldier rushed in.
"Sir General, we have just received a clear code telegram signed by Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.”
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed. He glanced at Yamamoto Ichiki before looking at the signalman.
"Read it."
Yamamoto Ichiki's heart skipped a beat. He had already felt the dissatisfaction in Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes. At the same time, he guessed that Li Yunlong's plain code telegram must have something to do with the Coiling Dragon Gorge.
"Old Zhao, our troops have already wiped out 832 people from the 17th Brigade of the Japanese garrison in the Panlong Gorge. We have successfully completed the ambush mission. Your cover mission can also be completed. After we clean up the battlefield, we'll meet up at the agreed location.”
" Written by Li Yunlong, commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.”
"It really is Li Yunlong." Yamamoto Ichiki's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Li Yunlong was reprimanded by the general because of this, and now he was here again.
Shinozuka Yoshio looked deeply at Yamamoto Ichiki and said,""Yamamoto Kun, now you know why I listed this Li Yun Long as your third target.”
"Ha Yi, I understand." Yamamoto Ichiki gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Mm. Yamamoto, I've always thought highly of you. I hope you won't disappoint me.”
"What do you think of Li Yunlong's telegram?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked.”
Yamamoto Ichiki didn't even think about it." General, please forgive me for being blunt, but this is Li Yunlong's trick. His purpose is to lure us to bomb the Coiling Dragon Gorge so that they can keep the hundred carriages of supplies they stole from Heyuan City.”
"Yamamoto, do you think Li Yunlong is that stupid?”
Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head." If Li Yunlong's IQ was really that low, then I wouldn't have listed him as your third target."”
"I would like to hear your opinion, General." Yamamoto Ichiki sounded polite, but he was actually very disapproving. He still felt that Shinozuka Yoshio had overestimated Li Yunlong.
"Mr. Yamamoto, think about the two things we just received. The first is that our reconnaissance plane accidentally discovered Li Yun Long's troops cleaning up the battlefield in the Coiling Dragon Gorge.”
"The second thing is Li Yunlong's plain code telegram.”
"Think about it carefully. Why would he send such a clear code telegram?”
"Yes."
Yamamoto Ichiki's expression became serious. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his head. His gaze became a little complicated.
"General, I understand."
