The 9th Brigade went straight from the stronghold of Huting to Bellows Ridge.

Naturally, it is impossible for such a big move to hide from the intelligence agents scattered throughout the base area.

In fact, as soon as the 9th Brigade left the Huting stronghold, our army intelligence officers found out.

It's just that because the means of communication are too backward, it takes time to pass from the front to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Almost when the 9th Brigade arrived near Teapot Ridge, the telephone bell of the 386th Brigade Headquarters of the Mobile Column suddenly rang: "Jingle bell!" ”

"Hello, I'm a mobile column."

The chief of staff stepped forward to pick up the phone.

The brigade commander, who was working on the map, also looked up.

Who will call at this time? Mister?

"Boss!" The chief of staff snapped and said respectfully, "You say." ”

The brigade commander's expression moved slightly, is it really the boss? Is this a new situation?

After a moment, the chief of staff said in surprise: "What? The 9th Brigade poured out? Heading towards Yangcun? Okay, okay, I see, we'll inform the independent regiment as soon as possible. ”

"Please rest assured that our mobile column will definitely stop the 9th Brigade."

Hanging up the phone, the chief of staff said urgently: "Brigade commander, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army has poured out of the stronghold of Huting and is rushing towards Yangcun, we have to notify the independent regiment as soon as possible to prepare to block it!" ”

"There are also 772 regiments, new 1 regiments and new 2 regiments that are also moving closer to Yang Village."

After finishing speaking, the chief of staff shook the handle again and said, "Please pick me up the independent regiment." ”

A moment later, the phone was connected, and the chief of staff asked: "Is this a mobile column, an independent regiment?" ”

"This is the Independent Regiment." The other end of the phone responded, obviously not Li Yunlong.

The chief of staff frowned and asked, "What about Li Yunlong?" Which are you? ”

"The head of the regiment is not here." The other side responded, "I'm a telephone soldier Ge Erdan." ”

"Ge Erdan?" The chief of staff's brows furrowed more and more, "Let Li Yunlong listen to the phone." ”

As he spoke, he faintly heard a burst of gunshots.

Gunshot?! The chief of staff's face changed suddenly.

The 9th Brigade has already hit Yangcun? It's so fast?!

At that moment, the chief of staff took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ge Erdan, right? How do I hear gunshots? Has the devil already hit Yangcun? ”

"What?"

Hearing this, the brigade commander's face also changed.

The 9th Brigade has already hit Yangcun?

Why didn't the independent regiment report to the brigade headquarters beforehand?

"Yangcun?" Ge Erdan, who was on the other side of the phone, said, "No, we're in Bellows Ridge." ”

"What? Bellows Ridge?! The chief of staff was stunned when he heard this, and then held the microphone and said to the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, this kid Li Yunlong has caused trouble again, he acted without authorization and led the troops to Bellows Ridge." ”

"Don't rush just yet." The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Ask what's going on?" ”

The chief of staff let go of the microphone and asked again: "Isn't your independent regiment stationed in Fangyang Village, why did you run to Bellows Ridge?" ”

"I don't know." Ge Erdan on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, the head of the regiment asked us to come over, so let's come over." ”

"Call me."

Suddenly, the brigade commander reached out and grabbed the phone.

Then he asked, "How many devils have you eliminated?" ”

"It's not eradicated yet." Ge Erdan said, "It's just that I surrounded the devil." ”

The brigade commander and the chief of staff glanced at each other, and then asked, "Then how many devils are you surrounding?" ”

"I don't know the exact number." Ge Erdan replied uncertainly, "There must be one or two hundred." ”

"One or two hundred?" Now the brigade commander is also at a loss, what's going on? Why do you lose your understanding the more you look at it? What kind of battle is the Independent Regiment fighting? What kind of battle did the devil fight?

The co-authored 9th Brigade has not yet arrived at Bellows Ridge?

Is the independent regiment surrounded other devils in Bellows Ridge?

It's strange enough that the independent regiment suddenly ran to Bellows Ridge,

One or two hundred devils running to Bellows Ridge is even more strange, what is this?

It seems that it is better to ask Li Yunlong as the party, which is better than guessing.

The brigade commander said again: "Ge Erdan, you take the telephone to find Li Yunlong, and you ask him to talk to me." ”

"Report to the chief, no." Ge Erdan on the other end of the phone said helplessly, "The phone line is not long enough, so I can only stay in the back, and I can't move to the front." ”

The brigade commander said angrily: "Then you call him over!" ”

"I called." Ge Erdan said, "He said he didn't have time to answer the phone!" ”

The brigade commander was almost choked to death, damn, Li Yunlong didn't have time to answer his call.

I don't know if I thought he was the division commander or the boss, but he was much more angry than the commander of the column.

However, after another thought, the brigade commander put his mind at ease, held the phone and said to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, it's okay, Li Yunlong's daring to treat Lao Tzu like this means that the situation is under his control." ”

"This kid is really reckless, but he still knows the priorities."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "But I still have to remind him that the 9th Brigade is swooping down on him." ”

The brigade commander snorted, and then said: "Erdan, right, you go and inform your regiment commander immediately, just say that the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army has poured out of the nest and swooped towards Bellows Ridge." ”

"Yes!" Ge Erdan responded and hung up the phone.

The brigade commander hung up the phone and frowned: "What kind of battle is this?" ”

The chief of staff is also confused, plus a confused face.

The brigade commander and chief of staff were really confused.

I don't understand it at all.

……

The brigade commander did not know what was happening?

Yoshio Shinozuka is also confused.

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't understand why the field observation group was ambushed at Bellows Ridge, let alone what happened to Yamamoto's special forces.

Why do they call again and again, but there is no answer?

Seeing Takuya Mizuhara shaking his head again, Yoshio Shinozuka's face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot.

At the same time, an ominous premonition came to his mind, and he felt more and more as if there was an invisible black hand controlling everything behind the scenes.

Has the intelligence been leaked?

But is it logically impossible?

The entire battle plan was improvised by Kazuki Yamamoto.

Even in the headquarters of the 1st Army, there were only ten people who had the opportunity to contact this plan, except for Yamamoto Kazuki himself and him Yoshio Shinozuka, there were only the chief of staff and a few section chiefs.

Yoshio Shinozuka would never believe that a few section chiefs would leak information.

As for Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka, it is even more unlikely that he will leak information.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to know this battle plan in advance.

Then the problem is, if the information had not been leaked beforehand, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Yamamoto special forces to have an accident.

If something happened to Yamamoto's team, why couldn't they be contacted? Could it be that Kazuki Yamamoto was really so arrogant that he dared to completely ignore his orders?

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't think it was very likely.

So Yoshio Shinozuka is completely at a loss, what the hell is going on?

Shibata Shinichi said: "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to send aviation scouts to reconnoiter near Chenjiayu?" ”

"Not for now." Yoshio Shinozuka actually still has a fluke mentality, in case the Yamamoto special forces are radio silent, then sending aviation scouts to reconnoiter at this time is very likely to startle the snake, but it will destroy the plan of the Yamamoto special team, making their decapitation of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army fall short.

At this time, Takayoshi Tanaka said: "Your Excellency, it doesn't matter if there is an accident with the Yamamoto Special Forces, the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the field observation group. ”

After a pause, he said: "If something happens to the battlefield observation group, then even if the decapitation operation of the Yamamoto special team is successful, it will be meaningless, if there is no audience, what is the point of the performance?" ”

"Audience? Performance? Yoshio Shinozuka muttered twice, and suddenly his face turned pale.

Could it be that the intelligence has really been leaked? Did the Eighth Route Army really master the entire battle plan?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that the Yamamoto Special Forces and the Field Observation Group had an accident at the same time!

If it was just an ambush by the field observation group, it was nothing, it was actually very normal, because with the arrogance of Hattori Naotomi and those officers, it would be strange if nothing happened.

However, it is very suspicious that the observation group was ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army!

If there is no accurate intelligence, the Eighth Route Army will never transfer a main regiment to a bird place like Bellows Ridge to feed mosquitoes!

Something happened to Yamamoto's special team that was even more suspicious!

Kazuki Yamamoto is a special operations expert who has returned from studying in Germany!

The Yamamoto Special Forces are elite special forces units that have been trained for several years.

If such an elite special forces force is said to be exposed during the march and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, which was hastily put into attack, it is absolutely impossible to even send a message!

But now, the Yamamoto secret service has been slow to respond, and there is a high probability that something has happened.

So Yoshio Shinozuka can't help but wonder, is it really leaking information?

And if his suspicion is true, it is really that there are internal ghosts in the headquarters and leaked information, then after obtaining this information, the Eighth Route Army will just ambush the Yamamoto special team and the observation group?

Will the Eighth Route Army be more ambitious? For example, the 9th Brigade?

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly rushed into the communication class in three steps and two steps.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka coming in, the signal soldiers got up and saluted.

Yoshio Shinozuka ignored it, walked straight to the front of the high-power walkie-talkie, grabbed the receiver microphone, and then yelled into the microphone: "Call the 9th Brigade, call the 9th Brigade!" ”

The 9th Brigade had not yet responded, but Naotomi Hattori roared first.

"Shinozuka-kun? Why hasn't the 9th Brigade arrived yet, why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

Yoshio Shinozuka simply ignored Naotomi Hattori and yelled again: "Call the 9th Brigade!" ”

This time, the 9th Brigade finally responded, replying: "The 9th Brigade has received it, please speak to the headquarters." ”

"I'm Yoshio Shinozuka!" Yoshio Shinozuka took a deep breath and said, "I order, the 9th Brigade immediately retreats, immediately retreats to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, hurry up!" ”

"Nani? Withdraw to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold? ”

Without waiting for the 9th Brigade Signal Corps to respond, Naotomi Hattori roared loudly again, and this time even more unceremoniously called Yoshio Shinozuka by name.

"Yoshio Shinozuka, what do you want to do?"

"You ordered the 9th Brigade to withdraw, are you preparing to die without help?"

Yoshio Shinozuka still ignored Hattori's Naotomi and reconfirmed: "The 9th Brigade hears it, please answer?" ”

As soon as the words fell, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out in the public channel, but Yoshio Shinozuka didn't care, because the radio station of the observation group was also on the public channel, and Yoshio Shinozuka thought that the gunfire was from the radio of the observation group.

But Takuya Mizuhara, who was the head of the communications section, immediately heard that something was wrong, and immediately unplugged the interface of the observation group.

The green light on the radio station immediately dimmed, but the gunfire on the public channel continued to ring out and became more intense.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong."

Takuya Mizuhara said in a panic: "The 9th Brigade has been attacked!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the 9th Brigade Signal Corps came from the public channel: "Headquarters, Headquarters, I am the signal soldier Kurooka Yota, I am the signal soldier Kurooka Yota." ”

"We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army just now."

"Our captain Taniguchi has broken jade on the spot."

"Bang, pop, pop...... Shout! ”

With a sizzling noise, the indicator light of the 9th Brigade was also extinguished.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Takuya Mizuhara, and Takuya Mizuhara said with a wry smile: "The high-power walkie-talkie of the 9th Brigade has been broken. ”

"Yaga Yaru!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's heart immediately sank.

Now the last fluke psychology is gone.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka said in a deep voice, "The observation regiment and the 9th Brigade are in danger, and the 4th Brigade should be ordered to reinforce quickly!" ”

"No need, there's no need for reinforcements."

With a sigh, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Even if the 4th Brigade has undergone a replenishment, there are only three infantry brigades at present, even if you rush out to help, do you think you can break through the many interceptions of the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time and hit the Bellows Ridge to join the 9th Brigade and the Observation Regiment victoriously?" ”

"Besides, how long can the 9th Brigade last?"

"Can the observation group hold out until the 4th Brigade arrives?"

Including Takayoshi Tanaka, everyone was silent.

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped everyone in an instant.

Yoshio Shinozuka slowly walked back to the war room and stood in front of the huge sand table.

However, the sand table shows an area of 20 kilometers within a radius of Daxia Bay, and Bellows Ridge is not included.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, the head of the Operations Division, pointed to the edge of the sand table and whispered, "Bellows Ridge should be in this location, about fifteen kilometers away from Yang Village. ”

"Bellows Ridge? Bellows Ridge! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said self-deprecatingly: "At the beginning of the year, it was the Black Island Wing, and now it is the observation group and the 9th Brigade Regiment, I think, just change the name to Sad Ridge, this is the Sad Ridge of our 1st Army." ”

"Sad Ridge?" Takayoshi Tanaka and the others looked at each other.

……

Bellows ridge.

Chu Yunfei took Sun Ming to Li Yunlong again.

Chu Yunfei said, "Brother Yunlong, what are you waiting for?" ”

"What are you waiting for?" Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Of course, I'm waiting for reinforcements to arrive." ”

"Waiting for reinforcements?" Chu Yunfei couldn't help but glance at Sun Ming, and then said with a blank face, "There are less than 100 devils in total, there are less than 200 devils in total, you have 2,000 people in a regiment, and machine gun fire and artillery firepower are also superior, in my opinion, a charge can solve the problem, and you still need to wait for reinforcements to arrive?" ”

"Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Brother Chu, don't get me wrong, we are waiting for the devil's reinforcements. ”

"Huh? Waiting for the devil's reinforcements? Chu Yunfei stared at him and said, "This is a siege point to send reinforcements?" However, if the devil really sends reinforcements, I'm afraid it won't just be one or two infantry brigades, but at least one brigade or more troops. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chu, I forgot to tell you, when you went to the front to watch the battle just now, I called the heads of the three brother groups again, and they should almost arrive." ”

Chu Yunfei said: "Plus these 3 regiments, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" ”

In Chu Yunfei's memory, the combat effectiveness of a brigade of the Japanese army was only stronger than that of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army.

As for the Eighth Route Army, although the independent regiment has repeatedly played eye-catching results, Chu Yunfei still habitually looks down on the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army are only the combat effectiveness of one division of the Jinsui Army, compared to a brigade of the Japanese army, but it is too far behind, and such a battle has no need to fight at all.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he was instantly very unhappy.

Because your Jin Sui Army can't defeat the devils, our Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to defeat them?

You Chu Yunfei is still a man, but you Jin Sui Army is a piece of meat in the eyes of our Eighth Route Army.

At that moment, Li Yunlong smiled and said: "What Brother Chu said is that the devil's combat effectiveness is indeed strong, and it is more than enough to defeat more than 30 divisions of our Eighth Route Army with one brigade!" ”

"But aren't we cornered?"

"More than ten kilometers further from Bellows Ridge is Yangcun."

"Behind Yangcun is where our headquarters are located."

"If you let the devil cross the bellows ridge, it will be troublesome after passing the Yang Village."

"So, don't say that there are 3 regiments, even if there are only 3 companies and 3 platoons, you can't say that you can only fight to the death with a brigade of devils."

Chu Yunfei snorted and smiled silently.

How could he not hear the sarcasm in Li Yunlong's words?

What brigade defeated more than 30 divisions of the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army had more than thirty divisions?

Isn't it the Battle of Xinkou, where the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army defeated more than 30 divisions of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army head-on?

The Battle of Xinkou has become a stain that the Jin Sui Army can't wash away, although Chu Yunfei is resentful, but he can't refute it, who made them really fight poorly?

Between the two of them, Ge Erdan came from afar.

"Commander, commander, commander." Ge Erdan shouted as he ran, "The column headquarters called, saying that the 9th Brigade of the Devils had poured out of the Huting stronghold and was rushing towards Yangcun. ”

"Has the news reached the brigade headquarters?" As soon as Li Yunlong calculated the time, the 9th Brigade would definitely have arrived at Teapot Ridge, so they would no longer wait on their side, and they could almost attack in general.

At that moment, Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet!" ”
