"Hiyi!"

After listening to the instructions from brigade commander Yasuoka Masaomi, Chief of Staff Jiro Koizumi gave a heavy pause, then turned around and conveyed the order in person.

…

The screen zooms to Jinzhong County, the headquarters of the Japanese 9th Brigade.

The then commander of the 9th Brigade, Hattori Naoomi, was also awakened from his sleep by the staff officer on duty. Unlike Masaomi Yasuoka, the old devil did not issue an order to abandon the third-level stronghold that was under attack.

Hold and flee, evacuate to the nearest secondary stronghold, and then defend the secondary stronghold.

Instead, he ordered each stronghold to hold on and sent troops from the nearest secondary stronghold to reinforce it.

Hattori Naoomi even scoffed at Yasuoka Masaomi's suggestion.

More than a month ago, Hattori Naoomi led the 15th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Brigade and returned with a disastrous defeat when attacking Zhaojia'ao. The entire army was almost destroyed. In Hattori's view, this was not because the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was stronger than him.

troops, but he was eager for revenge and fell into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army.

If it were elsewhere, the 15th Infantry Regiment would never fail.

If we switch to defense, the Eighth Route Army will have no chance of winning.

For more than a month, Hattori Naoomi has been learning from the pain and reflecting on the mistakes he made before, and finally came to this conclusion.

After this defeat, Naoomi Hattori was not defeated, nor did he give up the idea of ​​revenge. He just realized his mistake and would no longer be careless and underestimate the enemy.

So after that, although he continued to investigate the whereabouts of the Second Independent Regiment, and even vaguely determined the approximate location of the Second Independent Regiment, he did not lead his troops to go deeper alone.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army actually took the initiative to attack. In Hattori's view, this was completely an opportunity, an opportunity to avenge his humiliation!

Because these strongholds are the territory of their Japanese army, after such a long period of management, they have become monolithic, and they have built gun towers and bunkers.

The Eighth Route Army also lacked artillery.

Therefore, in Naoomi Hattori's view, this behavior of the Eighth Route Army simply meant that they did not want to live anymore.

As for the suggestion that so many strongholds might fall after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, Naomi Hattori sneered at them.

How many troops does the Eighth Route Army have?

It was also scattered into hundreds of parts. This was obviously a bluff and had no combat effectiveness at all...

…

I am destined to have no sleep tonight.

at the same time.

In Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.

The Chief of Staff of the 1st Army, Toshi Miyano, was the first to be awakened. After learning the situation, he quickly walked into the headquarters operations hall. In the meantime, several combat staff officers in the operations section were already busy as dogs and were looking at the sandbox terrain map.

There is a small blue flag on it.

Miyano Jun walked to the sand table and took a look.

Good guy, the entire sand table is almost filled with little blue flags.

This means that most of Shanxi and even parts of surrounding Henan and Hebei are at war!

Seeing this scene, Miyano Jun lost all sleepiness for an instant, then his eyes widened, and his whole body went numb.

The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was only responsible for attacking strongholds in the southeastern Shanxi region and along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway. In addition, the 120th Division and the 115th Division were also operating at the same time.

Isn't there a war going on everywhere?

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! You are here!" Saburo Yoshida, the section chief of the Operations Section, saw Jun Miyano approaching and immediately rushed to greet him. After a pause, he reported: "About an hour ago, that is, around midnight

At that time, more than 300 third-level strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Pinghan Railway were attacked at the same time! And it was an all-out attack, not a harassment attack like before."

"What's the meaning?"

Miyano Junichi frowned and asked, "Please make it more clear."

"Hey!" Saburo Yoshida paused again and said immediately: "The Eighth Route Army is coming with ferocity. It seems that it is preparing to attack more than 300 third-level strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Pinghan Railway in one fell swoop."

"Among them, the attacks along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway are particularly fierce. According to the report of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, at least 20 strongholds have been breached and 30 strongholds have lost contact."

"Nani?" Miyano Jun was shocked when he heard this.

Prior to this, although the Eighth Route Army had posed a threat to the Japanese army in North China, most of the time it still only dared to ambush the Japanese baggage transport troops.

In the Pingxingguan victory in history, the Japanese transport troops were ambushed. Although they won the victory in the end, the Eighth Route Army suffered greater casualties than the Japanese army. It was said to be a victory, but in fact it was a tragic victory.

The strength of the Japanese army is evident.

However, with the passage of time, the focus of the Japanese army slowly turned southward. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the supplementary troops was far less than that of the veterans in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and their combat effectiveness declined little by little. However, the Eighth Route Army and the National Army slowly grew up in the battle, and gradually

powerful.

But even so, the Eighth Route Army could only set up a few third-level strongholds to fight the Japanese army head-on, or launch an attack on hundreds of strongholds at the same time in such a grand manner as now, but it had never happened before.

"Baga! When did the China Eighth Route Army become so powerful? It is actually capable of launching attacks on more than 300 targets at the same time?"

"You must know that the imperial army's third-level strongholds have more than 50 people stationed there, and more than 200 people stationed there."

"The Eighth Route Army launched attacks on more than 300 strongholds at the same time. Their strength must be at least three times that of the Imperial Army, or even more."

"Don't the Eighth Route Army only have three divisions? Even if their divisions are more powerful than the Central Army, they won't have so many more divisions, right?"

While Jun Miyano was speaking, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the combat hall, which was caused by military boots trampling on the ground.

Miyano Shun and others looked back quickly and saw Commander Yoshio Shinozuka walking in with a dark face.

Behind Yoshio Shinozuka, Kazuki Yamamoto also had a straight face.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Jun Miyano, Saburo Yoshida and others quickly stood at attention, then bowed and nodded.

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Miyano-kun, what is the situation now?"

Before arriving, Yoshio Shinozuka already knew the general idea, but the combat staff briefed was not very detailed.

Jun Miyano reported with a dark face: "About an hour ago, the Imperial Army independently mixed the 1st Brigade, the independent mixed 4th Brigade, and the 27th Division reported to the headquarters at the same time, saying that the Shotai Railway and the Tongpu Railway

, and more than 300 strongholds along the Pinghan-Hankou Railway were attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and it was not a harassment attack, but a frontal force attack!"

"Among them, the offensive along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway is the most fierce. At least 20 strongholds have been captured and more than 30 strongholds have lost contact."

"Now, it can be said that most of Shanxi, and even some surrounding areas such as Hebei and Henan are at war!"

"Nani? What did you say?" Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned when he heard this, with a look of disbelief and shock on his face.
