Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka put down the walkie-talkie, Takayoshi Tanaka said puzzledly: "Your Excellency Commander, it is useless for the Yamamoto special team to stay in Liao County, the same task, the infantry search team can be competent, why does it have to be in charge of a special team that has spent a lot of money to build?" It's a waste of resources! ”

"If the special team can be transferred back, we can just take on the task of investigating where the main force of the 386 Brigade is, and we don't have to wait passively, let alone guess like now."

Yoshio Shinozuka was silent, he actually wanted to transfer the special team back.

But he also knows that Kazuki Yamamoto is extremely proud in his heart.

In Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army could barely become a hunting target for their special team, but the 386 Brigade was not even qualified to be a target.

Takayoshi Tanaka said, "Your Excellency Commander, you are too accustomed to Yamamoto-kun. ”

"Tanaka-kun, don't say any more." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "Compared with the 386 Brigade, the main force of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the Taiyue Bandit Area is more threatening. ”

"So Yamamoto-kun's choice is right."

"I'm all for that."

"Hello." Takayoshi Tanaka could only pause helplessly, and then continued, "So what should I do now?" Xiangxian has been lost, and the southbound detachment of the 386 Brigade has gone straight to Changzhi! ”

"But the performance of the 386 Brigade's northbound detachment is surprising."

"I beat Yuxian for half a night, but I didn't take it down."

"You know, there is only one military police squadron in Yuxian County."

"Therefore, I seriously suspect that the northbound detachment of the 386th Brigade is a partial division, because they did not use artillery in the battle to attack Yuxian, but only blindly used infantry to charge."

"On the other hand, the southbound detachment of the 386th Brigade used artillery to attack Xiangxian."

"As a result, in less than two hours, the military police squadron in Shouxiang County was crushed."

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "This may also be the 386 Brigade's eye-showing." ”

"Eye-catching?" Takayoshi Tanaka said, "Your Excellency the Commander means that the 386 Brigade North Detachment did not use artillery on purpose?" It's just to induce us to make wrong judgments, right? ”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yoshio Shinozuka said.

"What can I do?" Takayoshi Tanaka frowned and said, "The two detachments of the 386 Brigade, going north and south, have never been able to figure out which is the main force and which is the partial division? ”

"The 37th Division can't follow the division of troops."

"Are you really watching the 386 Brigade capture Changzhi?"

"The towns and villages around Changzhi and the mountainous areas originally belonged to the guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army."

"It's just that it's separated by highways and several major county towns into small blocks, and it's difficult to connect them, so it hasn't become a de facto bandit area."

"But if Changzhi and the surrounding counties are all lost, this area will be immediately connected as a whole, and it may become a de facto bandit area, so that the manpower, material resources and war mobilization capabilities of the Eighth Route Army will be unprecedentedly improved, and the consequences will be too serious for us to bear!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's brows immediately furrowed.

Nozawa Norio said: "Can you transfer two brigades from the 16th Brigade back to Changzhi?" ”

"It's useless." Takayoshi Tanaka shook his head and said, "If the southbound detachment is the main force of the 386th Brigade, then it is useless to transfer two infantry brigades from the 16th Brigade back to Changzhi. ”

"Two brigades can only increase the record of the 386 brigade."

"But if the entire 16th Brigade is allowed to return to Changzhi, or simply let the 36th Division return to Lu'an, then the sweep of the Taiyue bandit area of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably be seriously affected."

"There's a good chance that Operation Plan A will fall short."

Immediately there was silence in the war room, and no one dared to speak again.

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly asked, "What about the people in the special high class?" Is it coming? ”

The head of the special high school, the eight-tailed turtle, immediately strode in and said, "General! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and asked, "Your special high school has been deeply cultivated in Shanxi for so many years, and the intelligence tentacles should have penetrated into all aspects, haven't you found anything?" ”

"Discoveries are discoveries." The eight-tailed turtle nodded, then shook his head again and said, "But it means that I didn't find it." ”

"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Did you find it or didn't? ”

"Hello." "We found that many prisoners of war of the Imperial Allied Army in the northbound detachment of the 386 Brigade were forced to change into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and pretend to be the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Nani? There are prisoners of war from the Imperial Allied Army pretending to be the Eighth Route Army? Nozawa Norio said, "In this way, only a small part of the northbound detachment of the 386 Brigade is the real Eighth Route Army, which seems to be really a partial division!" ”

"But." Yagao Kamizo said again, "There are also Eighth Route Army soldiers who put on the uniforms of the Imperial Allied Army and pretend to be prisoners of war of the Imperial Allied Army. ”

"Nani?" Nozawa Norio was stunned and said, "On the one hand, let the prisoners of war of the Imperial Association pretend to be the Eighth Road, and on the other hand, let the Eighth Route Army pretend to be the prisoners of war of the Imperial Army, what does the Eighth Route Army mean?" ”

Yao Kamizo continued: "In fact, the same situation is true for the southbound detachment of the 386 Brigade. ”

"Damn, what a tough opponent!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army has long thought that the intelligence tentacles of your special high school have penetrated into all corners of the security area, so they will do this deliberately, so we can't tell how many Eighth Route Army troops are going north, and how many imperial prisoners of war are going south?" ”

"Hello." The eight-tailed turtle said with a wry smile, "That's why I said that I didn't find anything." ”

"Alright, let's go." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the eight-tailed turtle to leave.

Seeing the figure of the eight-tailed turtle hides leave, Takayoshi Tanaka snorted and said, "The people in the special high class are just a bunch of waste, and they can't do such a trivial thing. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka glared at Takayoshi Tanaka.

Takayoshi Tanaka shut up a little sneeringly.

Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze fell back on the map and said, "Order, all infantry brigades under the 9th Brigade must be vigilant enough while steadily advancing forward. ”

"Beware of the main force of the 386th Brigade turning around and attacking behind you."

"Order again, the military police squadrons of Tunliu, Shangdang, Changzi, Huguan counties, and the garrison battalions of the Imperial Allied Army, except for one gendarmerie squad and one company of the Imperial Allied Army stationed in the county towns, the rest of the troops will all be reduced to Changzhi and Lu'an garrison."

"The surrounding counties can not be defended, but the two cities of Changzhi and Lu'an must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

"In addition, the 37th Division can go east from Xinyuan County to Xixiang County, no matter which unit is the main force of the 386th Brigade in the south or north, first cut off their retreat!"

"Hello!" Takayoshi Tanaka paused.
