    Following Kimura Hyōtaro's order, the Japanese troops in the Zaozhuang area took quick action, and a large number of intelligence personnel and traitors were sent out to begin collecting relevant intelligence about Li Guoyao's headquarters.

    Soon, the Japanese army noticed something unusual on Weishan Island, and then the Japanese army in Xuecheng sent an infantry squadron to the island to check.

    The troops remaining on Weishan Island responded quickly, set up an ambush and annihilated the Japanese squadron, and then escorted the people on the island to evacuate to the west bank of Weishan Lake.

    Sensing the abnormality, the Japanese army once again sent a brigade of troops and brought in two gunboats to join the battle!

    Since the main force had evacuated Weishan Island, there was only a small team of less than 30 people left on the island, so the Japanese army rushed to nothing.

    “However, the Japanese army still discovered the fortifications built by the Shandong Guerrilla Corps on the island, proving that Weishan Island was indeed an important stronghold for Li Guoyao’s troops.

    Subsequently, the Japanese army burned down all the buildings on Weishan Island and even blew up the ferry on Weishan Island before withdrawing their troops.

    But as soon as the Japanese army completely occupied Weishan Island, troops from the Shandong Guerrilla Corps landed on the island again, but this time they were all field troops, and all the people were resettled in Peixian County!

    As the Japanese intelligence personnel continued to collect useful information back to Zaozhuang, the 32nd Division Headquarters soon had a relatively clear understanding of the general situation of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.

    After roughly deducing that Li Guoyao's headquarters should be in the area of ??Watwa Mountain and Wuniu Mountain, Kimura Hyōtaro immediately formulated a four-way battle plan to encircle Xiong'er Mountain.

    On June 1, 1939, Zaozhuang garrison commander and commander of the 32nd Division Hyoutaro Kimura personally commanded, with the 32nd Division and the Independent Mixed Sixth Brigade as the main force, and the main force of the 21st Division was dispatched, and  With a large number of puppet troops, the troops were divided into four groups to besiege Xiong'er Mountain where the Shandong Guerrilla Corps was located, and the second defense battle of Xiong'er Mountain broke out.

    And this battle was called Storm Strike or Operation Storm among the Japanese army!

    It is said that Li Guoyao's life during this period was pretty good. After the main force of the army was dispersed for development, Li Guoyao could train new recruits in the mountains with peace of mind.

    Of course, ordinary soldiers do not need training from him as the commander-in-chief. What he trains are reserve members of the special operations team.

    The new members of the special operations team have been training under him for two and a half months. The rigorous daily training has made these young members grow rapidly, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.

    "However, Li Guoyao's requirements for the special teams are very high, which is unbearable for ordinary people. Although most of them have passed the physical training, Li Guoyao still feels that they lack actual combat.

    Therefore, during this period of time, he continued to assign combat missions to these young team members, either to assassinate traitor lackeys, or to attack the Japanese army's headquarters, or even personally led them to rob the Japanese army's columns.

    Although the seized materials were only a batch of useless heavy artillery shells, after these practical trainings, these young team members finally understood what special operations are and the significance of the existence of special operations team members.

    In less than half a month, the special operations team members visited Zaozhuang, Yixian, Xuecheng, Weishan, Shanting, Tengxian and other places, and even went as far as Linyi and Xuzhou, completing a total of  There were 67 missions, large and small, killing 265 Japanese soldiers and 176 puppet traitors, blowing up 8 bridges and demolishing 22 gun towers, a remarkable record.

    However, the troops also suffered certain losses. 12 special operations team members were killed in the battle and 15 were injured. Fortunately, these casualties were caused in the first few days of the actual combat. After the troops entered the state, the casualties were much less. Recently,  In the past few days, dozens of consecutive missions have maintained a record of zero casualties.

    Since the special operations team would leave a Blue Sky and White Sun flag after each operation, with the words "Shandong Guerrilla Corps" written on it, the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag soon caused widespread panic among the Japanese and puppet troops in southwestern Shandong, causing panic around Zaozhuang.  The expressions of traitors, bandits and gangsters in the county and city changed.

    Because the name of this small blue sky and white sun flag is so great that many anti-Japanese armed forces have imitated it and will leave such a small flag after the war. Even the serial number on the flag is missing.  If it is not changed, it will always read Shandong Guerrilla Corps.

    “For a time, “traces” of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps appeared not only in southwestern Shandong, but also in southern Shandong and the Jiaodong Peninsula, and were likely to spread to places outside Shandong.

    And this incident also attracted great attention from the Japanese army. Operation Storm at the 32nd Division Headquarters was about to begin, but was urgently stopped because of this incident.

    The reason why the 12th Army Headquarters stopped Kimura’s operations was because of circumstances.?Inadequate preparations, and it is now impossible to determine how strong Li Guoyao's troops are, and he is worried that Kimura's division may suffer losses if he attacks rashly.

    Subsequently, the 12th Army Headquarters sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Lunan, Jiaodong and other places to collect intelligence. Finally, after wiping out several anti-Japanese bandit dens operating under the name of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, they learned that these suddenly appeared  Not all of the troops were under Li Guoyao, most of them committed crimes under false names, so there was nothing to fear.

    After figuring out the truth of the matter, Odaka Kamezo called the 32nd Division headquarters and ordered them to take action. It was already June 7, more than a week later than Kimura Hyoutaro's scheduled time.

    However, what neither Otaka Kamezo nor Kimura Hyoutarou knew was that it was this week's delay that ultimately caused their operation to fall short!

    In fact, the combat plan formulated by Kimura Hyōtaro still has merits because he attaches great importance to efficiency and takes immediate action after the troops are assembled, without any delay.

    "And if the action was taken at that time, Li Guoyao's troops may not be able to return in time, and the Japanese army is likely to enter the hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain without much resistance.

    In addition, Li Guoyao himself was not on the mountain during that time, so the outcome was really unpredictable!

    However, as Li Guoyao returned to the mountain on June 6, the situation changed, and the Japanese army quietly lost the fighter plane!

    Of course, all this happened without the Japanese and puppet troops knowing, and none of them felt that it was already too late!

    The hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain. Nianpan Mountain. Special team training ground.

    This is a training ground specially built by Li Guoyao. General troops will not train here. It is a training base for special forces.

    On the training ground, Li Guoyao was dressed in camouflage uniform and looked high-spirited!

    Opposite Li Guoyao, more than 300 special operations team members in the same uniform lined up!

    After several months of training, only this few of the original more than 600 reserve members were left. The rest were either eliminated or killed in training and combat. In short, these people were reduced by one-half.  The elite who stayed behind.

    You must know that these 600 people are the backbones selected by Li Guoyao from more than 10,000 troops, and the remaining 300 people are the strong ones who stand out from the 600 reserve backbones. It is not difficult to imagine their strength.

    Today is a special day, because after today these soldiers will graduate and become real special operations team members, so Li Guoyao decided to hold a small graduation ceremony for them.

    After everyone lined up, Li Guoyao said loudly: "Brothers, after more than three months of training, you have stood out from more than 600 people. I am proud of you. And you have also made great achievements in all aspects.  A big improvement, and I have done a good job for myself, my superiors, and those dead comrades! You are about to graduate today, and as your instructor, I want to say a few heartfelt words to you!"

    Li Guoyao then continued: "You are indeed much better than ordinary soldiers, but I'm sorry, in my heart you are not yet a qualified special forces soldier. I can only say that you have the potential to become a special forces soldier."

    Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. With the completion of difficult tasks one after another, the confidence of all team members was built up.

    Although they do not think that they are invincible, they all think that they are the best soldiers in a hundred, and they are iron-blooded soldiers who are truly born for war.

    However, Li Guoyao told them that in his heart, they were not considered real elites. To be honest, this was a bit shocking!

    For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Li Guoyao, and everyone was waiting for his explanation!
