"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

This situation was a bit beyond the expectations of the old Japanese.

The combat division chief Takaichi Sakamoto was also confused and said, "It's strange that the Eighth Route Army has almost never fought head-on with the Imperial Army, and has unique strategic points to attack the Imperial Army's heavy troops or strategic points. But why did this time it was abnormal and dared to take the initiative to attack the heavy troops and guard the county?"

"And, the troops are only five thousand?"

"The five thousand eighth Route Army wants to encircle and annihilate the two thousand imperial troops?"

"This is not like the usual style of the Eighth Route Army."

"When did the Eighth Route Army's military use become so bold?"

Sakamoto's words were unintentional, but Yoshio Shinozuka became more and more eccentric after hearing this.

"Not good! The 4th Brigade is in danger!" Shinozuka Yoshio said anxiously, "Muhun, immediately reply to the 4th Brigade and tell them not to go out of the city to fight back, just defend the county town!"

"Nani? Is there any danger to the 4th Brigade?"

When he heard Yoshio Shinozuka's words, not only Takumi Mizuhara was also stunned, but Takaichi Sakamoto was also stunned.

The two Japanese really couldn't imagine what dangers the 4th Brigade could have? The 5,000-8th Route Army could capture Yangquan, which was stationed in two thousand Japanese troops, and wipe out the 4th Brigade headquarters?

Even a lunatic doesn't dare to think so, right?

Could it be that the Commander is crazy about gaining and losing his heart?

Seeing that Takumi Suwon was standing still, Yoshio Shinozuka became anxious: "Baga, why haven't you gone?"

"Hayi!" Takuya Suwara woke up as if she was dreaming, turned around and quickly returned to the communications class to send a telegram.

Takaichi Sakamoto couldn't help asking: "Master Commander, I want to know, what are you worried about?"

Yoshio Shinozuka ignored Takaichi Sakamoto and then turned to Shibata Shibata, the captain of the Flight 9th Team, and said: "Shibata, please send two light bombers to Yangquan."

Shibata Nobuic said: "Your Excellency Commander, is it supporting the 4th Brigade to defend the city?"

"No." Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand, "I'm going to bomb the 11th Armored Convoy!"

After all, Yoshio Shinozuka has much higher military sensitivity than other Japanese devils present.

Other Japanese were just wondering why the 11th Armored Train Convoy lost contact for a long time, but Yoshio Shinozuka had already taken a step further to think that the 11th Armored Train Convoy had been hijacked.

Although I can't figure out how the Eighth Route Army did it,

But it is obvious that the Eighth Route Army has indeed hijacked the armored trains of the 11th Armored Train Convoy.

However, Shibata Shibata Shibata did not expect this layer and asked in disbelief: "Hiss Commander, are you talking about bombing the 11th Armored Convoy?"

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "Bomb the 11th Armored Convoy!"

"Hayi!" Shibata Shibata finally heard it clearly this time, and paused and turned around and left.

Takaichi Sakamoto finally reacted and asked in a deep voice: "Commander, are you suspecting that the armored train of the 11th Armored Train Convoy has been hijacked?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It's not doubt, it's affirmation."

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Although I don't know how the Eighth Route Army did it, the armored trains of the 11th Armored Train Convoy must have been hijacked."

"This is impossible!" Sakamoto Takaichi said flatly, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Speaking of this, Takaichi Sakamoto said again: "Even if the armored train is really kidnapped by the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to suddenly appear in Yangquan County. From Jingxing to Yangquan, it will take a pass through Niangziguan Railway Station, Yanzigou stronghold and Sangzhang stronghold. Could it be that these three first-level strongholds have been destroyed?"

"I'm afraid it's." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice.

"These three first-level strongholds have probably been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Not only Sakamoto Takaichi, but also Tanaka Takayoshi said incredible. "The Commander, the Niangziguan stronghold, the Yanzigou stronghold and the Sangzhang stronghold are the three most solid strongholds on the Masahidang road. How easy is the Eighth Route Army to destroy these three first-level strongholds overnight?"

Takaichi Sakamoto said bluntly: "I also think the commander seems to be a bit too exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. The armored train cannot be kidnapped by the Eighth Route Army, and it is even more impossible to appear in Yangquan..."

However, before the words were finished, Takumi Miwara came in again to report: "Hisser Commander, the 4th Brigade requested the aviation team to send bombers to Yangquan and bomb the armored train that was hijacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Sakamoto was stunned when he heard this.

"Baga." Yoshio Shinozuka changed his face suddenly.

The 4th Brigade sent such a telegram to show that the situation he was most worried about had already emerged.

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio asked: "Did the 4th Brigade take the initiative to attack? And during the attack, it was attacked by artillery fire from the 11th Armored Convoy, resulting in heavy losses?"

"Yes." Takushi Suwara said with a serious expression, "The 4th Squadron of the Independent Armored Vehicle that attacked was caught off guard by artillery fire from the 11th Armored Vehicle and was completely lost."

"Gangzuo Brigade lost almost all the heavy firepower, and nearly half of the personnel were killed or injured."

"At present, the Eighth Route Army has broken into Yangquan County and launched a brutal street battle with the remnants of the 4th Brigade."

"Also, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is very fierce. Under the current circumstances, the remnants of the 4th Brigade may not last long, so I requested the headquarters to send emergency condemnation troops to reinforce!"

After Takuya Suwahara finished speaking, the entire war room fell into silence.

Everyone, including Yoshio Shinozuka, was as if someone had been imposed on a fixed posture and could no longer move.

After a while, with the ringing of "Dingling" phone calls, everyone suddenly came back to life.

"Order!" Shinozuka Yoshio growled with a dark face, "The brigade stationed in Shouyang Yamazaki immediately reinforces Yangquan. This order is urgent and must not be delayed for a moment!"

"Another order, the 36th, 37th Battalion of Independent Infantry, the 9th Brigade, the Independent Artillery Team, and the Engineer Team immediately attacked and advanced towards Yangquan. This order is also urgent! No delay is allowed!"

"Hayi!" Takuya Suwara paused his head suddenly, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and walked to the sand table, his eyes falling on Yangquan's place.

Tanaka Takakichi, Itamoto Takaichi and several combat staff also followed him to the sand table.

"Commander, the situation may not be that bad." Tanaka Takaki persuaded, "Even if the Okazu Brigade was caught off guard, the 4th Brigade still has a brigade headquarters and two corps headquarters, and at least thousands of combatants, so it is still no problem to defend Yangquan County."

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said in a deep voice: "Of course there is no problem under normal circumstances, but if there is a Type 94 armored train equipped by the 11th Armored Train Convoy, the situation will be a different matter."

"You think the 4th Brigade's fortifications in Yangquan,"

“Whether it is the fortifications or the circular barricades in the city,”

"Can you block even a single shot from the Type 94 armored train?"

Tanaka Takagi was speechless, of course, this...can't be stopped.
