"Wait a moment!"

After Tanaka Takashi finished speaking, when he was about to hang up the phone, Yoshio Shinozuka called to stop him: "Don't move the gendarmerie brigade!"

"Nani?" Takashi Tanaka was stunned when he heard the words, and Norio Nozawa and several combat staff officers were also dumbfounded.

Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. Now that Xincheng Airport is under attack by unknown armed forces, it is the most critical time, but Your Excellency Commander called to stop the rescue operation?

What's the situation?

However, Takashi Tanaka called to stop the gendarmerie.

"The situation is wrong." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "A crisis is approaching!"

"What do you mean?" Tanaka Longji asked blankly, "What crisis is approaching?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Tanaka-kun, if you think about it carefully, first the telephone lines in Taigu, Qixian County, and Jinzhong suffered a large-scale failure, and then Xinchengji was suddenly attacked!"

"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

"How could such a large area of ​​telephone lines fail?"

"It gives me the feeling that this is all deliberately arranged by someone."

"He even wants to transfer the military police brigade guarding Taiyuan City from the city!"

Takashi Tanaka was startled, and said sternly: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you mean that the Eighth Route Army did all this? Did the Eighth Route Army destroy the telephone lines in Taigu, Qi County, and Jinzhong area, and at the same time attack Xincheng Airport? They The intention is to transfer the gendarmerie out of the city, and then"

"Then attack Taiyuan while taking the opportunity!" Nozawa Norio continued.

Tanaka Longji said: "That is to say, the previous division of the 386 Brigade's Northward Detachment was fake?"

"It's not only an illusion that it's broken up into pieces, but even those imperial association troops that fled are probably faked by the Eighth Route Army!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "It's very likely that the Beishang Detachment is the real main force of the 386th Brigade!"

"Bagayalu, we are likely to be fooled again, and this time we are really fooled!"

Nozawa Norio said: "If this is the case, the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army may have regrouped and is rushing towards Taiyuan!"

"Quick!" Tanaka Longji said anxiously, "Give it to the plainclothes teams in Taigu, Qixian, and Jinzhong!"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly. Longji Tanaka originally wanted to call the plainclothes team of Taigu counties for verification, but he realized that the phone was disconnected in the middle of the sentence.

"Aviation!" Longji Tanaka quickly thought of the aviation again, and said, "For Xincheng Airport"

Halfway through, Takashi Tanaka's voice stopped abruptly again, because the 86th fighter squadron stationed at Xincheng Airport was unable to take off because of the attack on Xincheng Airport.

There was no way for fighter jets to take off, so there was no way to carry out aerial reconnaissance of the area south of Taiyuan.

"A meticulous plan! A formidable opponent!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Nothing is true, there is truth in the falsehood, and there is falsehood in the truth. It is elusive, unpredictable, amazing!"

After a pause here, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Order, immediately close all the inner and outer city gates of Taiyuan, and impose martial law on the inner and outer cities at the same time. No one is allowed to go to the streets without a pass issued by the headquarters! Even if you are a national of the Japanese Empire, if you violate the prohibition, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Hayi!" Tanaka Longji said first.

Nozawa said: "General, do you need to call the 37th Division back for help?"

"That's unnecessary." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "The 37th Division has been tossing back and forth for two days and two nights, and the imperial soldiers are tired, let them take back Changzhi City first. "

Tanaka Longji said: "Your Excellency, what about Taiyuan?"

The eyes of Nozawa Norio and several staff officers fell on Shinozuka Yoshio.

Yoshio Shinozuka fell into a difficult choice.

The old devil didn't want to give up the No. A battle plan.

The No. A battle plan has entered the most critical stage.

The Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army is facing a severe crisis of survival.

Shinozuka Yoshio formulated the No. A battle plan, which is the joint strangling of the "four corners and six roads". As the encirclement circle composed of four independent mixed brigades tightened, the main force of the Taiyue Military Region had more and more room to maneuver. Small.

Up to now, only most of Liao County, and a small part of Heshun County and Licheng County are left, with a total area of ​​less than [-] square kilometers.

More than 2 main troops and more than 3 militiamen of the Taiyue Military Region were gathered in such a narrow area, and they still had to face the raids of the two divisions of the Japanese army. It has become very difficult to move around.

But what is more difficult than the army is the people in the base area.

The troops can at least resist the Japanese army, and they still have a chance to transfer if they are defeated.

Once the common people encountered the Japanese army or were discovered by the Japanese army, they would basically die.

As the encirclement shrinks and the sweeping time prolongs, more and more civilians are discovered and massacred by the Japanese army!

This made the situation faced by the Eighth Route Army even more severe, because on the one hand they needed to avoid the Japanese army to protect themselves, but on the other hand they had to protect the people in the base areas and were forced to fight.

Therefore, as the raids deepened, the battles in the base areas gradually became more frequent.

Hundreds of battles took place almost every day, and hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers died.

Moreover, with the passage of time, the scale of the battle gradually expanded, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army also increased sharply.

Shinozuka Yoshio has reason to believe that if he persists for another ten days or so, Operation Plan A will achieve phased results. Even if the main force of the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army cannot be completely wiped out by then, there will be absolutely no problem in flattening the Taiyue Military Region. In other words, North China, the most stubborn base of the Eighth Route Army, will be swept away by the First Army!

Shinozuka Yoshio absolutely does not want to suspend Operation Plan A at this time!

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "Go and invite Wei Sang over here."

Wei Jie's 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army was originally the Yangquan County Security Regiment of the Kuomintang.

After the fall of Yangquan, Wei Jie took refuge with the Japanese army with his security regiment and became the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the "Imperial Association Army", still stationed in Yangquan.

Originally, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army would also participate in the No. A combat plan this time.

It's just because the performance of the 8th Mixed Brigade in the past few months was really bad, and the Special High School seriously suspected that the grassroots officers of the 8th Mixed Brigade were suspected of colluding with the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Shinozuka Yoshio temporarily decided to transfer the 4th Mixed Brigade originally stationed in Taiyuan to Yangquan, and cooperate with the 4th Brigade to participate in the No. a combat plan.

The 8th Mixed Brigade was transferred to Taiyuan.

So now, in addition to a gendarmerie brigade in Taiyuan City, there is also Wei Jie's mixed 8th brigade.

The 8th Mixed Brigade originally consisted of three infantry regiments, a cavalry battalion, and an artillery company. Unfortunately, the cavalry battalion was wiped out by the independent regiment three months ago, and the artillery company was temporarily seconded to the 4th Mixed brigade, so now, there are only three infantry regiments left in the 8th mixed brigade, less than 3000 people.

Chapter 271

At noon, the brigade of the Independence Regiment had already appeared on the west bank of the Fen River.

Seeing thousands of Eighth Route Army marching forward, they casually fired a few shots at the puppet troops guarding the Jiujiaochang Bridge, then turned around and fled into Shuiximen.
