During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

"Colonel Tanaka has sent an urgent telegram!"

Just as Yoshio Shinotsuka was about to speak, another communications officer's voice suddenly rang out.

"Nani?"

"Tanaka?" Yoshio Shinozuka's heart skipped a beat again!

But then he quickly shook his head.

The entire northwestern Shanxi region, including both the Eighth Route Army and the Jin-Sui Army, was heavily surrounded by our forces. Even if a small force escaped the encirclement, it would not be able to affect Taiyuan!

As for attacking Taiyuan, they wouldn't dare even if they had ten thousand lives!

After all, even disregarding Taiyuan's status, even if Taiyuan only had one military police force under Tanaka's command, it could still resist a Chinese brigade by relying on Taiyuan City!

"speak!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Hai!"

"General Shinotsuka!"

"We have received a telegram from Colonel Tanaka of Taiyuan City: a large number of Chinese armed forces have appeared outside Taiyuan City!"

"They are highly skilled in combat and have powerful firepower!"

"And...and tank and armored units have also appeared!"

"They are launching an armed attack on the city!"

The correspondent spoke tremblingly.

"idiot!"

"What are you talking about?"

"How could the Chinese possibly have armored units?" Yoshio Shinotsuka said with a ferocious expression.

The emergence of a new Third Regiment is already bad enough!

Armored units have now appeared in Taiyuan City?

When did so many powerful forces emerge in northwestern Shanxi?

After all, even the Jin-Sui Army did not have armored units!

"General Shinotsuka!"

"A question suddenly occurred to me!"

At this moment, the deputy seemed to suddenly remember something and tried to speak.

"speak!"

"General!"

"If General Kitano is truly defeated!"

"Will the New Third Regiment quickly head north?"

The deputy swallowed hard.

It's pretty much a done deal that the New Third Regiment is involved now, but the identity of the mechanized unit that appeared in Taiyuan City is still uncertain!

But if the new Third Regiment follows the route of General Kitano's troops, that is, head north and join forces with him!

Wouldn't that mean Taiyuan City?

"idiot!"

After his deputy finished speaking, Yoshio Shinotsuka angrily retorted again.

Clearly aware of the gravity of the situation, his expression shifted dramatically before he seemed to finally make a decision: "Pass the word down!"

"Return to reinforce immediately!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka said with a look of resentment.

"Return to provide reinforcements?"

"But General Shinotsuka, then everything we've done..." the deputy asked, looking puzzled.

"Are we just going to watch the Chinese move into Taiyuan City?"

"Compared to the dignity of the Empire, this sweep is insignificant!" Yoshio Shinotsuka said slowly, as if all his energy had been drained in an instant.

After plotting for so long, we're just one step away from the final one!

However, neither the New Third Regiment nor the unit that raided Taiyuan!

He wants them all to die!

A sinister glint flashed in Yoshio Shinotsuka's eyes!

"Hai!"

"General Shinotsuka!"

The deputy suddenly spoke up.

……

The temporary headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!

"Son of a bitch!"

"How many shells do I have left?" The brigade commander put down his binoculars, adjusted the large frame, and roared.

"brigadier!"

"Not many left!"

"There's at most one more round!"

The deputy chief of staff said with a bitter expression.

Not only are there artillery shells, but the 386th Brigade is now suffering heavy casualties and losing positions one after another!

They've almost run out of bullets!

"Have you made contact with the other units?" After a moment of contemplation, the brigade commander took a deep breath and asked.

"brigadier!"

"It happened so suddenly!"

"Even the brigade headquarters couldn't issue a complete withdrawal route!"

"Now, apart from the 772nd and 773rd Regiments which are near the brigade headquarters, all other regiments, including the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New 3rd Regiment, have lost contact!"

"As for whether they can break through the encirclement..." The deputy chief of staff shook his head helplessly.

The meaning is self-evident!

Leave it to fate!

After all, the brigade headquarters is also preoccupied with its own problems right now!

"Hopefully we can break through the encirclement!"

"That way, my 386th Brigade won't be cut off from the rear!"

"Pass on my orders!"

"Fire all the shells!" The brigade commander roared as he stood up abruptly.

"brigadier!"

"The unit opposite us is the Gangchuan Regiment of the 3rd Division!"

“We simply…” the deputy said, his face contorted with embarrassment.

"We can't retreat!"

"Retreating means the loss of 400 million Chinese people!"

"It reflects on the face of all Chinese soldiers!"

"The 386th Brigade swears to live and die with the General!" the brigade commander said slowly.

Yoshio Shinotsuka's intentions are despicable; he knows it's a conspiracy but is powerless to stop it!

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength, which is why they get led by the nose!

"brigadier!"

"Sigh!" The deputy chief of staff was about to say something, but then choked back his words.

I'm just getting ready to leave!

"brigadier!"

"brigadier!"

"Important situation!"

The messenger's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door!
