"Yo Xi!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was immediately delighted.

Usami Brigade finally opened the Niuwei Ridge channel!

This means that the troops on the first blockade line can continue to attack Yangcun.

This means that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will be compressed into a narrower area.

When the subsequent Tsuda Detachment arrived near Yang Village, the 386th Brigade was doomed.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka hurried back to the sand table and asked, "Sakamoto, where has the Tsuda Detachment been?"

"The Tsuda Detachment just passed Okayama Bay five minutes ago." Takaichi Sakamoto pointed at the sand table with the long wooden pole in his hand, and said, "It's about three kilometers away from Niuwei Ridge."

At normal speed, three kilometers will take half an hour.

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and said, "Order the Tsuda Detachment to speed up!"

Takaichi Sakamoto said: "Commander, are you worried that Yangmura will not be able to defend it?"

"It's not that you're worried, but that Yangcun will definitely not be able to defend it." Shinozuka Yoshio said flatly, "If the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army continues to launch a fierce attack at any cost, Mori's brigade will definitely not be able to stop it."

This is not because Yoshino Shinozuka has the ambition to destroy his own power.

Instead, it is a rational, objective and pertinent assessment based on the combat effectiveness of both the enemy and us.

Takaichi Sakamoto said: "But after breaking through the Yangcun defense line, the 386th Brigade was basically disabled."

"Hmm?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly when he heard this. He hadn't thought about this issue yet.

Takaichi Sakamoto said again: "The combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is indeed strong, we must admit this, but after continuously forcing the forced breakthrough of Niuweiling and Yangcun defense line, how much combat effectiveness can be left? How much ammunition can be left? Can this ammunition alone break through the fourth blockade line of the Imperial Army?"

After a pause, Sakamoto Takaichi continued, "So, I'm more worried about another possibility."

"Another possibility?" Shinozuka Yoshio's heart pounded and said in a deep voice, "What's the possibility?"

"I'm worried that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will be broken into pieces in advance." Sakamoto Takaichi, "and then break through separately."

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed suddenly. If this is the case, it would be a big problem.

So will the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really break it into pieces in advance? Think about it carefully, it seems that this possibility is really not small.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka's heart was raised, but this is the case in the world. The more you are afraid of, the more you will be.

Just when Yoshio Shinozuka was worried that Takaichi Sakamoto's guess would become a fact, another communication soldier hurriedly walked out of the communication class.

"Hiss Commander."

The correspondent walked to Yoshio Shinozuka and paused and reported.

"The Forest Brigade's urgent power has been made, and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has been broken into pieces and broke through separately."

"Haga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly collapsed completely, and he still came.

But Takuya Suwara suddenly lit up before her eyes. This was another news worth a thousand gold!

If sold to the Jinsui Army, Military Control Commission, Central Commission and even the Eighth Route Army through secret channels, it should be able to make a lot of money, so you have to find an opportunity to return to the military police.

Those staff members were also in a bad mood.

"Nani? Break it into pieces?"

A combat staff member shouted: "How is that possible?"

"Yes, how is that possible?" Another combat adviser echoed, "The Eighth Route Army is willing to give up those heavy equipment?"

"Yes." Inoue Yasuhiro also echoed, "After entering the mountain, you can't take those heavy equipment away? Not to mention that it is Meiji 38-year-old field guns, even heavy machine guns and mortars will be given up."

Even the Type 97 81mm mortar weighs more than 20 kilograms.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun weighs more than fifty kilograms. Even if it is broken down into two parts, the gun body and the bracket, each part is still more than twenty kilograms, which is extremely inconvenient to take the mountain road.

What's more, this is not just a mountain marching.

Because the middle will definitely be surrounded and intercepted by the Imperial Army.

So in the end, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Imperial Army, the Eighth Route Army

It is highly likely that all weapons that may affect the marching will be abandoned.

In short, once you enter the mountain, you can hardly keep weapons weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Therefore, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suddenly broke into pieces and broke through separately, which really caught the Japanese army off guard. Not only Yoshio Shinozuka did not expect it, but most staff officers did not expect it.

At this time, the communications soldier said: "However, the Sen Brigade suspected that it was the Eighth Route Army fishing."

"Fishing?" Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed a straw with the drowning man and said repeatedly, "Oh yes, it's fishing, this must be fishing."

"This guy Wang Ye has always been cunning."

"This must be a trap designed by Wang Ye."

"The purpose is to lure the Sen team to attack."

"Wait until the Sen Brigade attacks, and then strike a fierce counterattack."

"In this way, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army can easily break through the Yangcun blockade line."

The more I said Yoshio Shinozuka felt that this possibility was extremely high, and he came back to life.

At that moment, he said to the communications department head Inoue Yasushi: "Inoue, call Mori immediately and ask them to defend Yangcun. No matter what the Eighth Route Army does, don't pursue it rashly."

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasuhi paused his head and turned around and left in a hurry.

But Takaichi Sakamoto said responsibly: "Your Excellency Commander."

"I dare not assert that this must not be a trap designed by Wang Ye."

"But I also think that the possibility of the 386 Brigade breaking out seems to be greater."

“So I think we have to be prepared to avoid being caught off guard.”

Yoshio Shinozuka said with a slightly moving expression: "Are you talking about the 18 teams that advanced into the team?"

"Yes, those 18 advancing teams were originally prepared specifically for the headquarters and brigade-level command bodies of the Eighth Route Army, but in the end they failed to play any role." Sakamoto Takaichi shook his head and then said, "But now, it's time for them to show their skills."

"Well, you're right."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded happily.

He also said: "Order, the advance teams will immediately enter the mountain."

"Please tell them to do whatever possible to find and bite the Eighth Route Army's small army that was broken into pieces."

"If you have the chance, you will destroy them. If you don't have the chance, you don't have to force them. It's not too late to encircle them after the large chasing troops arrive."

"The first and second blockade lines, all the troops,"

"Immediately, we will enter the mountains separately in the brigade. If the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has really been broken into pieces and break through separately, we will launch a dragnet-style sweep on it!"

“If it’s just fishing,”

"It's not too late for all brigades to gather together again."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "By the way, if the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army breaks through separately, it is likely to lift the radio silence, so the telecommunications monitoring team must also follow."

Now, Takumi Suwon finally got the excuse to leave.

Takumi Suwaru also asked for instructions: "Commander, do we need to do something in our special high school course?"

This is what Takuya Suwahara is so clever. He didn't just talk about what the special high school class needed to do, but asked Shinozuka Yoshio to order them to do something in the special high school class, which was amazing.

Yoshio Tsuka thought deeply.

"Your special high school courses should also strengthen monitoring from the intelligence level."

"If the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army successfully breaks through, they must determine their whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Hayi!" Takuya Suwara paused and then hurried back to the military police.

"The commander, there is one more thing," said Takaichi Sakamoto. "The fourth blockade line must also strengthen its forces, and it is necessary to ensure that all river valleys, passes and all passages within a radius of fifty kilometers."

Tsuka Yoshio said with great emphasis, "Immediately call the 4th and 8th mixed brigades of the Imperial Army and tell Cheng Sang that it will be more trouble for them during this period. After this time, I will definitely reward them, and at the same time I will ask the general for the two of them and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army."

...

It was already late at night.

Fang Ligong left the office and prepared to go back to the dormitory to go to bed.

When I turned my head, I found that the lights in the war room were still on.

"Which careless ghost is this? The lights don't turn off." Fang Ligong shook his head, pushed the door and walked into the war room.

However, as soon as I entered the door, I found that it was Chu Yunfei and two combat staff who were doing war chess deductions.

"Tongmao, why are you?" Fang Ligong asked in surprise, "Why don't you go to bed when you're so late?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, so I just did a war game demonstration with them to see if the 386th Brigade still has a chance to break through the siege?"

With Chu Yunfei, he still didn't give up.

Fang Ligong shook his head and said, "Tuanzu, are you sorry for Li Yunlong?"
