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

Could this be a bandit gang?

"brigadier!"

"Perhaps you should pay attention to something else important!" After taking a deep breath, the deputy chief of staff shook his head and said.

"What's the matter?"

"Brigade Commander! Their uniforms!"

The deputy chief of staff pointed.

As soon as the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, the brigade commander seemed to remember something and suddenly froze on the spot!

The regular army would definitely be wearing the gray cloth uniforms of the Eighth Route Army!

But the military uniforms in front of us are clearly different!

That is to say?

The group in front of us is very likely not the main force of the New Third Regiment.

"Brigade Commander! This new Third Regiment might not be quite what we imagined!"

The deputy chief of staff seemed to be hinting at something.

……

at the same time.

Headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Expeditionary Force stationed in Taiyuan!

An unusually heavy atmosphere permeated the entire headquarters. Yoshio Shinotsuka sat in the main seat, his hands resting on the edge of the table, on which lay a huge map of northwestern Shanxi!

At this moment, the map was marked with countless red dots!

There's also a matching sand table next to it!

It's only 147, but the difference is that three places are highlighted!

These are Ping'an County, Yushuling, and Daya Bay!

Yushuling and Ping'an City are located on both sides of Daya Bay, forming a protective barrier!

"Reporting to General Xiaozhong!"

"The Yamazaki Battalion has already engaged in battle with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army at Yushuling in China!"

"We have already tied down the vast majority of the 386th Brigade's forces!" Yoshio Shinotsuka's deputy stepped forward and said.

"How is the battle going?" Yoshio Shinotsuka asked, looking up with a blank expression.

"General Shinotsuka!"

"Colonel Yamazaki has achieved a great victory!"

"The two main regiments of the 386th Brigade have been almost completely wiped out and have lost their ability to charge!"

"And the casualties of the Yamazaki Battalion are negligible!" the second-in-command said arrogantly.

Colonel Yamazaki has extensive combat experience and carries a large amount of heavy firepower!

In addition, they occupied a favorable terrain!

As long as the Eighth Route Army doesn't have heavy weapons, the Yamazaki Battalion won't be defeated!

But did the Eighth Route Army have heavy weapons?

Not too possible!

"very good!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka finally smiled, "And what about Heian Castle?"

Then he continued to ask.

"General Shinotsuka!"

"Colonel Yamamoto Ichiki has feigned a retreat to Ping'an County!"

"The vast majority of them are heading towards Daya Bay!"

"In addition, the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of China, led by its commander Li Yunlong, is heading towards Ping'an County!"

The deputy quickly spoke up.

"Not bad!"

"It must be said that Yamamoto is indeed an outstanding military genius!"

At this moment, Yoshio Shinotsuka's smile was hard to describe!

Without him!

Yamamoto's move to lure the enemy out of their hole directly led to the relocation of the Independent Regiment, which was located on the only road to Daya Bay!

What's even more unexpected is that the battle of Yangcun will happen again!

This time, however, there were no 'roadblocks'.

In addition, the Yamazaki Battalion's deep penetration directly led to the relocation of two regimental-level units of the 386th Brigade that were permanently stationed near Daya Bay!

In other words, Daya Bay has now become a toothless tiger!

"But General Shinotsuka!"

"When should we send troops to reinforce Yushuling?" the deputy asked after a pause.

The Yamazaki Battalion is the Empire's elite battalion, and its mission is to contain the Chinese 386th Brigade!

After all, they were deep in enemy territory alone. If they didn't receive reinforcements, they would suffer a double loss if something unexpected happened!

"Now!"

"Send the order!"

"Order the troops stationed at Shuiquan and Luyang to set out immediately!"

"Reinforcements for the Yamazaki Battalion!"

"At the same time, tell Yamamoto not to linger in battle, but to simply hold Heian County!"

"Execute the third major sweep immediately!" Yoshio Shinotsuka said ruthlessly, as if he had made up his mind.

If we hold Ping'an County and Yushuling, then at least half of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi will be tied down, unless the Chinese commander cuts off his own arm or wrist!

But by then it will be too late!

Because he had already set up three complete encirclements around the outside!

This was a perfect cutting-off strategy he devised based on his experience fighting against the Chinese army!

"General Shinotsuka! Shall we execute it now? Isn't it too early?"

"After all, it was Colonel Yamamoto Ichiki..."

The deputy couldn't help but interrupt.

"unnecessary!"

"The commander of the Eighth Route Army in China has no chance of survival!"

"The opportunity is ripe!"

"Any news about the tour groups?" Yoshio Shinotsuka interrupted.

His perfect plan requires the help of the Second Army!

The Second Army's main task is to contain the Jin-Sui Army, and once they have wiped out the Eighth Route Army, the First Army will turn back and wipe out the entire Jin-Sui Army! At that time, there will be no established hostile forces in the vast northwestern Shanxi!

However, the Second Army is clearly not cooperating! After all, the Second Army's observation group was annihilated within the First Army's territory!

"General Shinotsuka!"

"Not yet!" the deputy said helplessly. Seeing that General Shinotsuka's expression was beginning to change, he continued, "There wasn't a single survivor at the scene, and even the Tiger Pavilion stronghold has been destroyed!"

That's not all. The Fourth Brigade, which was responsible for escorting the tour group, withdrew at full speed after hearing the gunfire to reinforce the tour group!

More than four hundred people!

They were all killed or wounded within ten minutes!

This whole thing is eerie!

They definitely came prepared!

"Which Chinese unit is closest to the Huting stronghold?" Yoshio Shinotsuka asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to General Xiaozhong!"

“It’s the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade in China!” the deputy said after a moment of thought.

"Then let's pin it on the Independent Regiment!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka spoke slowly.

"Independence Group?"

"But General! During the battle, wasn't the Independent Regiment at its headquarters when Colonel Yamamoto..."
