There were only 30 Yamamoto special forces left in "Bright Sword", so why did the Japanese commander send tens of thousands of troops to rescue them? In "Bright Sword", the Japanese army once formed a special force with strong combat effectiveness, that is, the Yamamoto Special Task Force. The unit was specially trained in special tactics in Germany and was equipped with first-class armament, and although it was only more than 80 people, it was extremely destructive. The Yamamoto Task Force was under the direct leadership of the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Shanxi, and the leader of the Special Task Force was Special Tactics Expert Kazuki Daisaku Yamamoto. From the very beginning of the Yamamoto Task Force, they had only two tactical objectives, namely the Commander's Headquarters of the Second Theater of Operations and the headquarters of our army.
The Yamamoto Special Agent Team did not shoot easily, and it was bound to see blood when it made a shot. For example, the Battle of Yangcun is a good example, when Kong Jie, the leader of the Independent Regiment, was beaten 200-0 by the Yamamoto Special Agents, and Kong Jie was dismissed for this. There was also the Chen Jiayu raid, Zhao Gang led two battalions of troops to guard the flank of the headquarters, and as a result, he was almost attacked by the Yamamoto special agent team into Chen Jiayu. In addition, if it were not for Li Yunlong's arrogance and repeated heavy defeats to the Japanese army in the northwest of Jin, the Yamamoto special task force would not have bothered him. In the Battle of Zhao Jiayu, Li Yunlong's independent regimental headquarters suffered an unprecedented heavy blow.
Among them, Zhao Gang was shot several times and almost died, hundreds of soldiers of the independent regiment were killed, and Li Yunlong was also lucky to highlight the siege. After the sneak attack was successful, Yamamoto's special team wanted to return to Taiyuan, but they encountered an ambush by Chu Yunfei in the Shogun Ridge area, and the remnants had to retreat to the county seat of Ping'an. The Yamamoto special task force, which originally had more than 80 people, only about 30 people were left after the Battle of Zhao Jiayu and the Battle of Shogun Ridge. There are too many cases of snakes not dying but being bitten by snakes, and if they are released back to Taiyuan, it will be even more difficult to annihilate them, so Li Yunlong decided to make a desperate bet and gather the entire regiment to attack Ping'an County.
However, after the Battle of Heian County began, the Japanese commander Yoshio Shinozuka desperately reinforced Heian Prefecture, and he not only ordered the Japanese troops around Heian Prefecture to quickly reinforce, but even dispatched the ghosts of Taiyuan. From the play, it can be known that Yoshio Shinozuka should have drawn at least seven or eight or more companies, such as the Taketani United, Sato United, Yoshino United, kong jie's jurisdiction and two companies from Taiyuan, etc., and the total strength is estimated to be no less than tens of thousands. So the question is, Yamamoto's special task force has only 30 people left, why did the Japanese commander still send tens of thousands of troops to rescue?
First of all, after being surrounded by Li Yunlong, Yamamoto once sent a distress telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, and one of the telegrams read: "Although our troops have suffered huge losses in this battle (the Battle of Zhao Jiayu), the essence is still there, and in order to protect the necessity of the future strategic innovation of our imperial army, I implore the general to rescue!" From this telegram, it can be seen that Yoshio Shinozuka sent tens of thousands of troops to rescue him, not just for the sake of 30 people, but to preserve the special tactical theory of The Yamamoto Task Force. If Kazuki Yamamoto and his special forces are completely wiped out, then the Japanese army's hopes of reforming new tactics will be completely dashed!
Secondly, Li Yunlong had inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army on the battlefield many times, such as the battle of Cangyunling, the battle of Lijiapo, the ambush observation group, and so on, and Li Yunlong's threat to the Japanese army was too great. To this end, the commander of the Japanese army, Yoshio Shinozuka, has repeatedly said that he will annihilate Li Yunlong, otherwise he would not have sent a Yamamoto special task force to attack Zhao Jiayu at night. In view of Li Yunlong's arrogance, the Japanese commander dispatched tens of thousands of troops to reinforce Ping'an, not just to rescue the 30 members of Yamamoto's special task force, but to combat Li Yunlong's arrogance!
In summary, it is precisely for the above reasons that although there are only 30 yamamoto special forces left, the Japanese commander still has to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to rescue!
