Okamura Ninji hadn't closed his eyes for two days and nights in a row.

At this moment, the old devil was staring at a pair of red eyes, holding a magnifying glass and moving back and forth on the map.

The old devil is assessing the possible reaction of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the future, and after determining the direction, he will let the Japanese troops who return to Taiyuan react in advance.

Okamura Ninji hated the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in his heart.

Because the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army not only severely damaged the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, but also made him lose face.

Therefore, the old devil is determined to gather and annihilate the 386 Brigade near Taiyuan, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart.

The old devil's gaze followed the magnifying glass to move on the map, and at the same time asked the chief of staff, Miyano Michichi: "Miyano-kun, in which direction do you think the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will move next?" ”

Despite the unexpected sortie of the 386th Brigade and the total annihilation of the 9th Brigade.

But this did not change Okamura Ninji's basic judgment - the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army still had to be transferred after all!

The reason why the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack and annihilate the 9th Brigade was just to transfer the supplies in Taiyuan to gain time, and from the current point of view, the Eighth Route Army has indeed achieved their intentions.

Okamura Ninji knew this, but he was helpless.

Because the lesson of the destruction of the 9th Brigade is there.

Therefore, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will still be transferred after all.

The only question is where will the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army go?

Miyano said: "The destination of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than three, either back to the southeast of Jin, or to the northeast of Jin, but it is more likely to go to the northwest of Jin." ”

"I think so too." Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "After all, the northwest of Shanxi is too barren and has never been the focus of the First Army stationed in Shanxi. ”

Miyano said: "In this case, it is very necessary to order the 26th Division from Datong to the south, from Xinkou to the west to Anhua City, in order to cut off the westward road of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in advance!" ”

"Even if you don't send an entire division, you have to send at least one infantry wing!"

"But the problem is ......," Okamura Ninji frowned, "it's just our speculation. ”

"yes." Michiichi Miyano said with deep understanding, "The style of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is too unpredictable, and it can even be said that there is no logic at all!" ”

"If nothing else, let's talk about the battle of the 9th Brigade to encircle and annihilate it."

"At such a time, who would have thought that they would dare to take the initiative?"

"So now, we really don't dare to assert that they will definitely go to the northwest of Jin."

Speaking of this, Miyano Michiichi said again: "So, let's wait for more aviation to be sent after dawn to see what the 386 Brigade is doing, and then decide on the next step." ”

As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurried in.

"General!" The communications staff officer paused, "Yamamoto's special forces are in a hurry, they have recaptured the airport. ”

"Really?" Okamura Ninji was refreshed for a while, he had heard too much bad news in the past two days, and now he finally had pleasant good news.

"Hello!" The communications staff officer paused again, "Moreover, the facilities of Xincheng Airport are basically intact, and the 86th Fighter Squadron and 16 Zero fighters stationed at the airport are intact. ”

"The 36th squadron of attack aircraft lost 3 attack aircraft."

"In addition, aviation kerosene and aerial bombs at the airport have also been lost."

"Yaga!" The excitement on Okamura's face faded like a tide in an instant.

Without aviation kerosene and aerial bombs, it was useless to regain the airfield and recapture the planes, and it was impossible to take off and land planes to attack the Eighth Route Army, which was close at hand.

But that's good news after all.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji continued: "Call back to the Yamamoto agent team and order them to guard the Shinjo Airport!" In addition, the 26th Division was ordered to send the 26th Cavalry Wing to rush to the airfield. ”

In order to keep the airfield, it is also worth risking a cavalry wing.

"Hello!" The communications staff officer paused, turned around and hurried away.

……

By this time, the brigade commander had already returned to the Drum Tower.

"What, the loss of the new city airport?" After receiving the report of the loss of the airport, the brigade commander frowned, which caught him off guard.

The 9th Brigade has been completely annihilated by them.

The 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division are still halfway there.

The 8th Brigade, the 26th Division and the 110th Division have just entered Shanxi!

So the question is, which of the devil's troops will attack the Taiyuan New Town Airport?

Liu Darong, who rushed to report to the brigade commander, said: "Brigade commander, the wolf's tooth squad planted explosives in the hangar, arsenal and command tower of the airport before. ”

"And Counselor Wang also specially told us."

"If the situation is not right, detonate the explosives."

"But the 3rd Platoon of Guards did not detonate the explosives."

"I don't know exactly what happened."

The brigade commander's brows became more and more frowned: "The 3rd platoon of guards didn't even rush out of a single soldier?" ”

"Nope." Liu Darong said, "More than 40 brothers in a platoon all died. ”

"Damn!" The brigade commander said hatefully, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the small devil unit that attacked the headquarters of the Yangcun Independent Regiment before." ”

"These little devils are coming so fast!"

"Is that them?" Liu Darong's eyes immediately appeared with hatred.

When this small army of devils attacked Yang Village, Liu Darong was the commander of the guard company.

And he was also wounded in the battle, and one of his companies numbered more than 100 people, and when he returned from his wounds, only a dozen old faces remained, and all the others were sacrificed.

So this small army of devils and their guard company are really a blood feud.

At that moment, Liu Darong gritted his teeth and said: "Brigade commander, I ask you to send another unit to take over the arsenal and the steel factory, and then let us go to recapture the airport and kill this gang of devils!" ”

"No, none of you are a match for this group of devils." The brigade commander flatly refused, "Besides, now that the three main regiments are outside, we are not strong enough to take the initiative to attack." ”

"You will honestly guard the arsenal and the steel mill for me."

"Don't let these little devils take advantage of it again!"

"Yes!" Liu Darong agreed and left sullenly.

At this moment, several gunshots suddenly rang out on the street outside.

The brigade commander immediately became alert and immediately drew his pistol and rushed out of the door.

"Guard, where do you shoot?" The brigade commander snapped, "What's going on?" ”

A moment later, an officer from the security section hurriedly ran over and reported: "Brigade commander, there are two dogs making trouble in the city!" Just shot and killed two border residents! ”

"Fuck it!" The brigade commander said angrily, "What are you doing in the defense section for food? Hurry up and find out these two dogs, and then shoot them all! ”

"Yes!" The officer of the security section said yes and left with a black face.

The brigade commander's face sank, and the situation was more severe than expected.
