At this time, the main force of the 386 Brigade had already passed Taigu County.

While they were marching, a communications cavalry hurriedly caught up: "Brigade commander, brigade commander!" ”

The brigade commander who was talking to Kong Jie and Li Yunlong reined in his horse, and Kong Jie and Li Yunlong also followed Le Ma and turned back.

After a while, the communication cavalry arrived in front of the brigade commander and reported with a wheez: "Brigade commander, the southbound detachment is in an emergency, and the city of Changzhi has been recovered!" ”

"Changzhi took it?!"

The brigade commander was overjoyed when he heard this.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were also excited.

This is the first city that their 386th Brigade has won!

Li Yunlong was happy and a little angry, damn it, he actually let Cheng Blind take the lead!

Kong Jie was secretly ruthless while being happy, and when he turned around, his new second regiment must be the first to rush into Taiyuan City, so that the brigade commander and the head of the headquarters were impressed by their new second regiment.

The brigade commander yelled again: "Guards, go and invite Reporter Cheng!" ”

"Yes!" The guard agreed, and quickly Pegasus went to invite Cheng Yue.

Soon, Cheng Yue, a war correspondent accompanying the Xinhua News Agency, rode a white horse to the brigade commander.

This white horse belonged to the wolf's tooth squad, to be exact, one of Wei Dayong's two mounts, because Wei Dayong saw that Cheng Yue was marching too foot, so he lent her this white horse to ride.

"Brigadier, are you looking for me?" After Cheng Yue finished speaking, she greeted Li Yunlong and Kong Jie respectively.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie nodded with Cheng Yue, all of them looked like decent men and gentlemen who did not squint.

"I'm looking for something for you." The brigade commander said, "The southbound detachment of our 386th Brigade has recovered the city of Changzhi, and your Xinhua News Agency hastened to issue a newsletter!" Propaganda and publicity! ”

"Changzhi is recovered?" Cheng Yue was overjoyed when she heard this, "Okay, I'll go back and write a newsletter!" ”

The brigade commander then asked: "The speed must be fast, the faster the better, when will your Xinhua News Agency publish the article?" ”

Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said, "If it's just a newsletter, it's fast, and it can be sent in half an hour." ”

"Then send a text message first!" The brigade commander said, "We must let the people of the whole country know this good news as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Cheng Yue raised her hand and saluted a military salute, then reined in her horse's head and rushed away.

The brigade commander's gaze fell on Kong Jie and Li Yunlong again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, now that Taigu has passed, you two regiments should also prepare." ”

……

Shaanxi, Qiulin Town.

Yan Xishan's prefect's headquarters is located in this inconspicuous Hexi town.

In the evening, Chief Yan was lying in the courtyard listening to the radio, which was playing excerpts from Qin's dialect and Shibi, listening to the passionate singing, and Chief Yan's hands were also subconsciously waving.

After humming for less than two paragraphs, Chief Yan felt a little thirsty.

At that moment, Chief Yan turned his head and shouted, "Adjutant Wang? Adjutant Wang! ”

Adjutant Wang hurriedly entered the small courtyard, picked up the kettle on his waist and poured a glass of water for Chief Yan.

After drinking two sips of hot water, Chief Yan felt that his throat was lubricated a little, and he was about to continue humming, but the Qin dialect playing on the radio suddenly stopped, leaving only a murmur.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why stop? ”

After speaking, Chief Yan also slapped the radio twice, but there was no reaction.

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

Before he finished speaking, the radio suddenly sounded again, but this time it was no longer an excerpt from Qin's dialect, but a brief message from Xinhua News Agency.

"Play a text message from Xinhua News Agency."

"Less than half an hour ago, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army successfully recovered Changzhi City!"

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

Adjutant Wang was also confused about this.

……

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

There was also a radio in the war room, and the radio was also playing the Xinhua News Agency newsletter simultaneously.

Yoshio Shinozuka and most of the Japanese staff officers couldn't understand it, but Norio Nozawa was in charge of the translation, so they were all clear about what the Xinhua News Agency text message said.

In fact, long before hearing this brief news from Xinhua News Agency, they already knew the news of the loss of Changzhi.

Because the military police squadron that stayed behind in Changzhi had already preemptively reported the news of the loss of the north gate of Changzhi to the headquarters, and made it clear that the military police squadron and several squads that came to help would fight to the last pawn.

At this time, there was silence in the war room, and everyone did not dare to speak easily.

Even Takayoshi Tanaka, who had just woken up and returned to the war room, kept his mouth closed.

The situation of the battle suddenly changed, and Nozawa Kio and a cadre of operational staff officers of the headquarters suddenly found that His Excellency the commander seemed to have made a fatal miscalculation!

What they thought was the right judgment seemed to be wrong.

It seems that the southbound detachment of the 386 Brigade is the real main force!

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

Nozawa was about to reply, when a signal soldier suddenly hurriedly walked in and handed him a telegram that had just been translated.

"Nani? How so! ”

Nozawa Kio immediately lost his voice and exclaimed after reading it.

Yoshio Shinozuka's heart sank, frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Nozawa Kio said suddenly: "General, after the 386 Brigade Northbound Detachment passed Taigu, it suddenly divided its troops, one turned southwest to Qi County, one turned to the northeast and went to Jinzhong, and the other went west to Jiaocheng!" ”

"Nani? Actually divided the troops! Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly became very embarrassed.

"Hai, it's really divided!" Nozawa said, "This should be broken up and transferred separately." ”

"Baga, the northbound detachment of the 386 Brigade also carried a large number of heavy livestock, as well as heavy equipment." Yoshio Shinozuka roared in disbelief, "What about these heavy animals and heavy equipment? ”

"General!" Nozawa Norio threw an inexplicable look at Yoshio Shinozuka and said, "The baggage and livestock of the 386 Brigade Northbound Detachment are divided into three parts, and as for those heavy equipment, ......"

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "What happened to those heavy equipment?" ”

"It's already thrown away." Nozawa said, "They were all thrown on the road. ”

"Nani? Throw them all away? Yoshio Shinozuka shouted, "All thrown on the road? ”

"Yes, all thrown away." Nozawa Norio's eyes became more and more strange when he looked at Yoshio Shinozuka, and said, "The 386 Brigade Northbound Detachment threw away all the heavy weapons, but they were made of wood. ”

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

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

There is no mistake
