Check in from the bright sword

After taking two sips of hot water, Chief Yan felt his throat lubricated a bit, and was about to hum again, but the Qin opera playing on the radio suddenly stopped, leaving only a noise.

"Hey, what's the matter? Why did you stop?"

After speaking, Chief Yan tapped the radio twice, but there was no response.

"The radio is broken? Adjutant Wang, call the Telecommunications Department and ask them to send someone to fix it"

Before he finished speaking, the radio suddenly rang again, but this time it was no longer an excerpt from Qin Opera, but a short message from Xinhua News Agency.

"Play a text message from Xinhua News Agency."

"Just less than half an hour ago, the 386st Division of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army successfully recaptured the city of Changzhi!"

"What?" Officer Yan jumped up from the reclining chair at once, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army recovered Changzhi? How is it possible, how is it possible?"

Adjutant Wang was also confused by this.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

There is also a radio in the war room, and the newsletter from Xinhua News Agency is also played simultaneously on the radio.

Yoshio Shinozuka and most of the Japanese army staff could not understand, but Nozawa Norio was responsible for the translation, so they knew exactly what the Xinhua newsletter said.

In fact, long before they heard this newsletter from Xinhua News Agency, they already knew the news of Changzhi's fall.

Because the Gendarmerie Squadron who stayed behind in Changzhi had already reported the news of the loss of the north gate of Changzhi to the headquarters, and made it clear that the Gendarmerie Squadron and the several teams that came to help would fight to the last.

At this moment, there was silence in the war room, and no one dared to say anything easily.

Even Takashi Tanaka, who just woke up and returned to the war room, kept his mouth shut.

The situation of the battle suddenly changed. Nozawa Norio and a group of combat staff at the headquarters suddenly discovered that His Excellency the Commander seemed to have made a fatal misjudgment!

What they thought was the correct judgment before seemed to be wrong.

It seems that the southward detachment of the 386 brigade is the real main force!

In the end, Shinozuka Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Nozawa-kun, where is the northbound detachment of the 386th brigade?"

When Nozawa Norio Hay was about to answer, a messenger suddenly hurried in and handed him a telegram that had just been translated.

"Nani? How could this happen!"

Nozawa immediately exclaimed after reading it.

Shinozuka Yoshio's heart sank suddenly, he frowned and said, "What happened?"

Nozawa Norio paused and said: "General, after the 386th Brigade's northward detachment passed through Taigu, it suddenly divided its troops. One turned southwest to Qi County, the other turned northeast to Jinzhong, and the other turned west. Go to Jiaocheng!"

"Nani? The troops are actually divided!" Shinozuka Yoshio's expression suddenly became very embarrassing.

"Hayi, the troops are really divided!" Nozawa Norio said, "This should be broken up into parts and transferred separately."

"Baga, the northbound detachment of the 386th Brigade also carried a large number of baggage animals and heavy equipment." Shinozuka Yoshio roared in disbelief, "Do these baggage animals still have heavy equipment?"

"General!" Norio Nozawa cast an inexplicable look at Shinozuka Yoshio, and said, "The supplies and animals of the 386 Brigade's Northward Detachment were divided into three parts, as for the heavy equipment"

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "How about the heavy equipment?"

"It's been thrown away," Nozawa Norio said, "It's all thrown on the road."

"Nani? Throw it all away?" Yoshio Shinozuka cried out, "Throw it all on the road?"

"Yes, I threw them all away." Nozawa looked at Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes more and more strangely, and said, "The Beishang Detachment of the 386 Brigade threw away all the heavy weapons, but they were made of wood. .”

"Baga, the fake cannon made of wood?" Shinozuka Yoshio said.

"Yes, it's all fake." Nozawa Norio, "We were fooled!"

Chapter 263

A bad mood soon spread throughout the headquarters.

Although no one dared to say it clearly, everyone looked at Yoshio Shinozuka without the admiration or even admiration they had before. Instead, there was doubt and a subtle mockery.

The military is such a realistic place, where tenderness does not exist.

As a commander, if there is a fatal miscalculation, the prestige will definitely be weakened.

If there are more than two serious misjudgments in a row, its prestige will basically disappear.

Shinozuka Yoshio felt his whole body began to become hot, and a strong sense of shame firmly controlled him.

I was completely deceived by the mud legs of the Eighth Route Army?As a senior general who graduated from the Imperial Army University, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a strong sense of frustration.

But Yoshio Shinozuka quickly forced himself to calm down.

Everything is not over yet, things still have a turning point!

Perhaps, this is just a trick of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?

The division of the Eighth Route Army was only intentional, and the throwing away of wooden cannons was also intentional!

They just wanted to create a false impression, to lure themselves to make another misjudgment, and then ordered the 37th Division, which went north to help, to turn around and go south again!

That's right, that's it!

That's how it should be!

Confidence returned to Yoshio Shinozuka once again.

At that moment Shinozuka Yoshio said calmly: "Nozawa-kun, order the Special High School to closely monitor the Eighth Route Army after the division, and at the same time conduct a blanket search of the villages, forests, and valleys that the Eighth Route Army passed along the way!"

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Takashi Tanaka said with a frown, "Are you suspecting that the division of the Northward Detachment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is just an illusion?"

"Yes, fake."

"You suspect they have hidden heavy weapons?"

"Yes, the heavy weapons of the Northward Detachment of the 386th Brigade must be hidden in a hidden place along the way!"

Yoshio Shinozuka swears, but the combat staff such as Takashi Tanaka and Nozawa Norio are skeptical.

However, Nozawa Norio resolutely carried out the order and went back to the telecommunications office to call the Super High School.

Takashi Tanaka frowned slightly, and asked, "Division commander, what about Changzhi Prefecture? Do you want to send an infantry brigade back from the 36th Division?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's face collapsed.
