"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander! Humble duty understands! Miyano Taro paused, then waved his hand and motioned to a Japanese staff officer standing next to him to hurry up and send a report to Itagaki Seishiro.

However, Taro Miyano did not leave, but sat down at the signal of Yoshio Shinozuka and quietly waited for Yoshio Shinozuka's questioning.

"Now that the new regiment has caused heavy casualties to the imperial army garrison in Shanxi, it has reached the point where it has to give priority to attacking the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Miyano-kun, tell me, what should I do? After being silent for a while, Yoshio Shinozuka still said solemnly.

Half of the anger has dissipated, and it is only sad for oneself to go into a rage. It is better to concentrate on solving the threat of a new group. What's more, Yoshio Shinozuka learned from a secret telegram from his local "friend" that His Majesty the Emperor was already very dissatisfied with him, and since Fushimi Palace Toshihiko and other three princes, His Royal Highnesses were ambushed by the same squadron, and the new regiment has not been annihilated for a long time.

Time has passed for a long time, and His Majesty the Emperor is very dissatisfied, and he already has the idea of removing him from the post of commander of the First Army.

It's just that I didn't expect the new regiment to be slippery all the time, and the main force didn't seem to have been hiding in the Heng Mountain to let the Japanese army concentrate heavy troops to attack. On the contrary, a new regiment defending the base area of Hengshan and a new regiment under the personal command of Li Yunlong went out of Hengshan to attack the Japanese garrison troops in the occupied area of Shanxi and mobilize the Japanese army.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka at this time was very helpless.

When Miyano Taro heard this, he pondered for a while and then said solemnly, "Your Excellency Commander, Li Yunlong is good at mobile combat. The troops of the Eighth Route Army generally did not have the intention of fighting with the imperial army in a large-scale position. If we want to defeat or annihilate the Chinese army commanded by Li Yunlong in a frontal battle, I am afraid that we will not be optimistic. The lowly suggestion was that it was best to form an elite special forces to pursue Li Yunlong's troops. ”。

"No way!" Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and vetoed, "The formation of special forces is progressing slowly, and the Yamato Soul Commando of Yamamoto Kazuki is considered an elite special force newly formed by the empire, or it was completely annihilated by the troops commanded by Li Yunlong in the Jinlong Gorge of Heng Mountain. It shows that Li Yunlong also has a keen sense of special operations. ”。

"Then Your Excellency Commander, there is only one way to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress! In fact, as long as you first find the hiding place of Li Yunlong's troops, and then secretly surround and close it to make sure that it is already in the encirclement of the imperial army, then it will be effective to launch an offensive in one fell swoop! ”

After a pause, Taro Miyano continued, "Only in this way can we completely annihilate the new backbone force commanded by Li Yunlong. ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, the time to form a special force is too late, and it is not realistic. After all, an elite special forces force cannot be made in a short period of time. Even Yamamoto Kazuki's special forces have gone through a long time to be effective, and in the face of the new regiment, the whole army was wiped out, so Yoshio Shinozuka is not interested in the method of forming a special forces.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka got up and motioned for Taro Miyano to walk to the table where the map was placed at the military headquarters, picked up the baton and moved it over the map to look back and forth.

Judging from the map, Li Yunlong's command post had quickly evacuated Datong City and moved towards the Baishan Mountain area in the east before the two reinforcements of the imperial army returned to Datong and arrived at Datong. It shows that Li Yunlong understands very well that his army is less than 2,000 people, and it is impossible to hold Datong City when the imperial army returns to Datong with heavy troops. This man's war acumen and self-control are very strong and should not be underestimated. Miyano-kun, look at it, where will Li Yunlong lead his troops to attack next? Yoshio Shinozuka pointed to the map and asked Taro Miyano with a deep face.

Taro Miyano also took a look at the map of Shanxi, which is a map of 1 in 100,000, and the detailed distribution of towns and towns in various parts of Shanxi, the mountainous areas, and so on can be clearly understood at a glance.

"Your Excellency Commander, Baishan Mountain straddles Chahar and Shanxi, and runs northeast and southwest, with mountains spreading and extremely wide terrain. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, which is very suitable for Li Yunlong's troops to hide in them. He thought that Li Yunlong would not go out of the mountain to attack the imperial garrison outside the mountain in the next few days. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka doubted, "Miyano-kun, what do you say?" ”。

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Miyano Taro pointed to the map and said, "Since Li Yunlong's department ambushed and killed His Royal Highness Xianyuan Gong Zairen, it has gone all the way north to attack Guangling, Sanshan Town, Laiyuan, Feihukou and other places, and then under the pursuit of the 21st Brigade under the command of Itagaki Seishiro, it has maneuvered around to attack Gushan, Fengzhen, Pinglu and other places, although it has defeated countless imperial army garrisons, but it has also made the Zhina Army commanded by Li Yunlong has been in a state of high conquest. He thought that after withdrawing from the starry night of Datong, Li Yunlong could only choose to move to the nearby Baishan Mountain area east of Datong to rest in concealment. It will take at least a few days to a week or so of rest before there is enough strength to come out and harass the garrisons of the Empire's occupied territories. ”。

"Yo Xi, Miyano-kun's analysis is very good! It's just an analysis, but we need to develop countermeasures. Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, but said anyway.

Taro Miyano immediately suggested, "Your Excellency Commander, you can order Seishiro Itagaki to secretly send a capable reconnaissance team to Mount Hakuto to investigate after dawn. As long as the hiding place of the Shina Army commanded by Li Yunlong hidden in a certain place in the mountainous area of Baishan Mountain is found, then the time can let Itagaki Seishiro lead the two wings of the 21st Brigade to rush forward and suppress it. ”。

"I can only do this, then the hard work of Miyano-kun, sent someone to send a report to Itagaki Seishiro to implement this decision. However, if you want to change it, Starry Night sent a reconnaissance force into the mountain, maybe Li Yunlong would not have thought that the imperial army would not pursue them on a large scale in Starry Night, but instead sent an elite reconnaissance team into the mountain to explore their hiding place. ”

Miyano Taro suddenly said, "Hai, Your Excellency Commander, go and do it immediately!" ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and motioned for Taro Miyano to hurry up and send another report to Seishiro Itagaki to carry out his order.

At this time, with the second emergency call, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in Datong City, soon received the second emergency call from Yoshio Shinozuka.

At this time, the old devil Itagaki Seishiro had already gotten down to the gate building at the head of the southern city of Datong, and entered the city to temporarily rest at the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army.

However, most of the buildings of the Japanese division headquarters were beaten into a pile of ruins in the fierce battle between the troops under the command of Li Yunlong and the Japanese army, and they could only be moved to the rear of the 10th Division headquarters in some intact houses.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, Your Excellency Commander Shinozuka has called again, ordering our 21st Brigade to immediately send a capable reconnaissance unit into Baishan Mountain to track down the hiding place of Li Yunlong's department." In Seishiro Itagaki's temporary headquarters, Ueno was rushing to report to Seishiro Itagaki.

Itagaki Seishiro took the telegram and looked at it, frowned and said, "Order the reconnaissance wing to dispatch a cavalry squadron and carry four radios into the mountains to investigate!" ”。
