Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 369: Guan Gu Miracle

At the beginning, Guan Gu served as the squadron leader on Zhengtai Road, guarding the Japanese railway. After being captured alive by the Independent Column, Guan Gu, who already hated war, was successfully converted.

In order to make better use of his role, Wang Meng and Li Yunlong discussed and spent some money on Franklin to get him back to the Japanese Army Headquarters in North China.

Originally he thought he would just get a job in logistics support, but he didn't expect the money would be too much, so he was given an easy but respectable job, the position of a lieutenant staff officer in the Second Confidential Section.

However, his name was changed from Sekiya Kenjiro to Sekiya Miracle to record his "magical" life.

In order to protect Guan Gu Shenqi, who was transformed into an intelligence officer of the Independent Column, Wang Meng had not given him any important tasks. However, this time, because he vaguely felt that the matter was of great importance, he activated him, codenamed: Squid.

Guan Gu Shenqi cooked some rice balls, pinched some seaweed on them, and started to enjoy his dinner.

"The rice in Northeast China is indeed good, but is invasion the only way to get it?"

Guan Gu Shenqi, who received the task, spent the night in anxiety.

The alarm clock woke him up early the next morning. Guan Gu Shenqi, who had not slept much the night before, yawned, had dark circles under his eyes, washed hurriedly, changed into his uniform, and walked towards the headquarters.

When we arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, we saw a long queue.

"Guangu-kun, I didn't expect you to go to work on time as well? Yesterday you also..."

The Ota staff officer who invited him to drink yesterday looked at Guan Gu's miraculous black eyes and thought that he had gone there yesterday as well.

"No, no, I didn't sleep well last night. By the way, why are you checking so strictly today?"

"Who knows? Let's get in line first!"

Guan Gu Shenqi began to stretch his head and look forward, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

After the inspection was completed, he was allowed into the headquarters and went to the Confidential Section 2 on the second floor.

Guan Gu Shenqi went to get a glass of water. When he passed by the section chief's office, he saw He Ying Zhier was on the phone, so he walked a little slower.

"Ha Yi, we must ensure safety and security, and be prepared to receive weapons and equipment..."

Guan Gu Shenqi thought as he walked, "We have to do a good job of security, and we have to accept weapons and equipment. Could there be some new weapons? Could it be related to Yan Xishan's intelligence?"

Back in the office, Guan Gu Shenqi perked up. The more he needed to gather intelligence, the more he had to ensure that there were no mistakes in his work, otherwise he would be noticed and the mission would be affected.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Kazutaka Chiji notified all the Japanese officers in the Confidential Section 2 to hold a meeting.

"Everyone, when everyone entered the front headquarters this morning, their information was strictly checked, right? Do you know why?"

All the staff officers shook their heads one by one, and Ying Zhier nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted.

"Some time ago, the First Army suffered a lot of defeats in the battles with the Jinnan Independent Column, and lost large areas of land such as Taiyuan, Linfen, and Changzhi. The reason why the Independent Column was able to defeat the Imperial Army was because they mastered a large number of advanced weapons, but..."

He Yingzhi'er's endless analysis attributed the Japanese's failure entirely to the superiority or inferiority of their weapons and equipment, without taking the human factor into consideration at all.

After Lieutenant Colonel Hans provided the report to the little mustache, the Japanese spent a huge amount of money to purchase 100 Tiger tanks and 200 Type 5 tanks from Germany, preparing for a tank battle with the independent column.

In terms of aircraft, the Japanese once again drew 300 fighter planes from the Kwantung Army and supplemented them in Datong, Shijiazhuang and Xinxiang.

In addition, the 30th Army stationed in Changchun, a total of four divisions, were withdrawn from the Kwantung Army and prepared to move from Inner Mongolia to Shanxi to launch a full-scale attack on the independent column.

The commander of the 30th Army was Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, and the chief of staff was Major General Michio Kato.

Under the jurisdiction:

The 39th Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Sasaki Sadanosuke (stationed in Siping).

The 125th Division is led by Lieutenant General Li Longxiong (stationed in Tonghua).

Lieutenant General Yamamoto Mutsuyoshi of the 138th Division (stationed in Fushun).

Lieutenant General Motohiro Motomitsu of the 148th Division (stationed in Changchun).

The total number of troops reached more than 100,000.

In short, the Japanese want to resolve this battle once and for all.

Of course, He Yingzhier did not tell these low-level officers about these specific combat deployments.

Guan Gu Shenqi only learned one useful piece of information from all the nonsense he had with Ying Zhier, which was that the Japanese were preparing to start revenge and completely resolve the problem in Shanxi.

But what does this have to do with Yan Xishan’s trouble?

Guan Gu Shenqi fell into deep thought.

"Everyone, we must maintain close communication with Germany. From today on, no one is allowed to leave the headquarters until the equipment and troops are in place and the decisive battle begins!"

After talking to Ying Zhiji, the Japanese soldiers in the Confidential Section 2 showed unprecedented enthusiasm. Even the drunken Staff Officer Ota shook off his decadence and began to prepare for a big fight.

Guan Gu Shenqi was also forced to force a smile on his face and started to work continuously.

In order to collect more intelligence, Guan Gu Shenqi did his job quickly and spared no effort to help other Japanese staff officers with their work, which made He Ying Zhier very satisfied.

"Yo, Sekiya-kun, they say you're the son of a wealthy businessman from Osaka and have no intention of making a name for yourself in the military. It seems like these are all rumors! Come on! For the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

"Hayi!"

Guan Gu Shenqi almost vomited the rice balls he ate yesterday. He felt nauseous when he thought of the disgusting Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Does such a prosperous ancient Eastern country still need you to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt?

According to the Independent Column’s motto, that is: What bullshit!

However, in order to get access to more information, Guan Gu Shenqi still works "diligently".

However, after working at the headquarters for several days, he did not get any access to any key information.

All he came into contact with were the parameters of the Tiger tank and the Panzer V tank, training outlines, etc., which had no practical value.

Guan Gu Shenqi, who was at a loss, looked towards the brightly lit compartment and saw that he, Ying Zhiji, Staff Officer Ota and several Japanese officers were having a heated discussion.

The fanatical militarist Ota has long been a die-hard supporter of Takashi Tomoji, so whenever there is a core mission, the shadow of Staff Officer Ota will inevitably be there.

Every time Guan Gu Shenqi passed by the cubicle or went in to report to Ying Zhier, the devils inside would tacitly shut their mouths and stop discussing.

However, Guan Gu Shenqi still saw the three words "Jinsui Army" on the table.

He was startled, and a feeling of excitement and nervousness as if he had touched the treasure surged in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Especially at times like this, we must remain cautious and calm, and stay away from core intelligence.
