Check in from the bright sword

"So, if Shinozuka Yoshio doesn't move, what should we do? Force him to move!"

"We can pull out the 75 mountain artillery and storm Changzhi County. If we feel that Changzhi is not far enough, we can even bypass Changzhi and directly attack Jincheng in the south!"

"Currently, both Changzhi County and Jincheng are empty of defense."

"Any one of the main regiments of my 386 brigade, supplemented by a small amount of artillery, is enough to win a battle!"

"As long as Changzhi County or Jincheng is captured, Shinozuka Yoshio will inevitably make a wrong judgment, thinking that the main force of our 386th Brigade has gone south, then he will definitely order the Japanese 37th Division to go south to pursue it!"

"In order to make Shinozuka Yoshio make up his mind, the main force of Kitakami can put on a good show."

"Acting?" The brigade commander exchanged glances with deputy brigade commander Han and asked, "What's a good show?"

Wang Yan said: "Push the artillery into the Fen River at night to hide it, then discard the fake wooden artillery by the roadside, and at the same time order the three main regiments going north and the battalions directly under it to temporarily separate, so as to create a false impression for Yoshio Shinozuka , thinking that my northward troops had completed the task of deceiving the enemy, and turned into pieces outside Taiyuan City."

"Hiss..." the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han couldn't help but gasped.

This is a bit too cunning, it is impossible not to be fooled.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio stayed up all night, anxiously waiting for the news ahead.

Yoshio Shinozuka was concerned about two main points, one was the mopping up of the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the other was the pursuit and suppression of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

A long night passed, and at dawn the news finally came back.

"General!" Lieutenant Jun Nakamura came in and reported, "The investigation of the attack on the headquarters of the 9th Brigade has already begun!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Say."

"Hayi." Nakamura Jundun first said, "When the headquarters of the 9th Brigade was attacked, two guards were checking the underground drainage ditch of the Dong family ancestral hall, so they escaped unharmed."

"According to the reports of these two guards, it was a small unit of the Eighth Route Army that attacked the headquarters of the 9th Brigade."

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka said in disbelief, "It's really a small unit of the Eighth Route Army?"

Speaking of it, Kazuki Yamamoto had such doubts a long time ago, but even he himself didn't believe this inference, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be true!

The Eighth Route Army actually has such a small elite unit!

"Hayi!" Jun Nakamura paused again, and continued, "These two guards also heard a name."

"Name?" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "What name?"

"Yan Wang!" Toshi Nakamura said, "It should be the commander of this small army."

"Nani, King of Hades?!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face collapsed, how dare he shout!

"General." Jun Nakamura noticed the strange expression on Yoshio Shinozuka's face, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shinozuka Yoshio snorted, and said, "Nakamura Jun, Yama is the chief officer in charge of the underworld in the folklore of China, and he decides the life and death of everyone in the mortal world! As the saying goes, whoever the Yama wants you to die in the third watch?" Dare to keep you until the fifth watch? The commander of this small branch of the Eighth Route Army is really arrogant!"

"Baga!" Toshi Nakamura said, "So arrogant!"

"But they do have the capital of arrogance." Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice, "Didn't the brigade headquarters of the 9th Brigade be destroyed by them? The idiot Oshigō Toranosuke was also beheaded!"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "Let the super high school investigate the origin and background of this King of Hades as soon as possible. Such a powerful person can never appear out of thin air!"

"Hay!" Jun Nakamura paused and left.

As soon as Jun Nakamura left, Takashi Tanaka walked in behind.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tanaka Longji said, "The situation is not right."

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned immediately: "What happened?"

Takashi Tanaka said: "In the first half of the night last night, the Eighth Route Army headquarters and several brigade headquarters communicated very frequently by telegrams, and the telecommunications department also determined their positions early on based on the detected radio signals, but early this morning, when the pursuit troops When I rushed to the designated place, I found that there was not even a single Eighth Route Army there!"

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army already knew that their radio signals were being tracked."

"Yes." Longji Tanaka nodded and said, "After entering the middle of the night, the Eighth Route Army headquarters and several brigade headquarters entered into radio silence at the same time, and they have not turned on the radio until now."

"I'm very worried. Has the Eighth Route Army silenced the radio?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "That means they have definitely discovered it."

Tanaka Takashi said: "If you can't determine the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and several brigade headquarters by radio waves, it will be very difficult to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army staying in the Taiyue bandit area."

"No matter how difficult it is to find." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Send more search teams!"

"You can also pursue them from the Chinese people in the bandit area, and kill them all without telling where the Eighth Route Army is hiding."

Tanaka Longji smiled bitterly: "The problem is, even the Chinese people in the bandit area are hiding in the mountains, and it is difficult to find them. If we want to carry out a blanket search of the entire mountain area, I am afraid that there will be far insufficient manpower."

"Then burn their villages down, and destroy their crops! And the water sources, too!" Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes showed an inexplicable fierce light, "In short, this time, no matter what, we have to burn Tai The Yue bandit area is completely wiped out! It is absolutely not allowed to be like before, once the imperial army withdraws, the Eighth Route Army will immediately make a comeback!"

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "By the way, what about the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army that has broken through Dongjia Village? Where are they now?"

Tanaka Longji replied: "The independent regiment is in Xin County, and the main force of the 386 Brigade is still in Xixiang County!"

"Still in Xixiang County?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "You didn't leave last night?"

"No." Takashi Tanaka shook his head, and said, "Last night, the 386th brigade mobilized some troops to sweep the towns around Xixiang County. Many strongholds in Xixiang County were destroyed and many were arrested. The imperial association army, the plainclothes team, and the maintenance presidents of various townships."

"Nani?" Shinozuka Yoshio said in amazement, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is planning to open up Xixiang County as a new base, right?"

"It shouldn't be possible." Longji Tanaka shook his head and said, "The Eighth Route Army usually only set up bases in remote mountainous areas. In a lush place like Xixiang County, they probably don't have the guts."

"Because they know that even if they open up, they won't be able to keep it."

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and said, "Then what is the intention of the 386 brigade?"

"I don't know." Longji Tanaka shook his head, and continued, "Oh, yes, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is still doing a very strange thing."

"Strange thing?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, and asked again, "What are they doing?"

Takashi Tanaka said: "According to the news secretly sent by the Xixiang County Maintenance Chairman, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has gathered dozens of old carpenters in the city and is making wooden cannons."

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked in astonishment, "Wooden cannon?"

"Yes." Tanaka Longji nodded and said, "It's really puzzling."

Shinozuka Yoshio also felt incredible, and said, "What exactly does the Eighth Route Army want to do?"

Takashi Tanaka said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, although it is impossible for the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to truly occupy Xixiang County, allowing them to act recklessly in Xixiang County will inevitably cause harm to the forces close to the imperial army in the county. Therefore, yes Didn't you order the 37th Division to abandon the ambush plan and immediately march into Xixiang County?"
