...

At the same time, in Taiyuan.

The atmosphere in the combat room of the 1st Army Command has become extremely solemn.

The reconnaissance combat formation sent by the 9th Flight Force has returned, but only one of the two Nakajima Type 97 combat reconnaissance aircraft has returned, and the other one has been shot down by the armored train.

This completely confirmed the speculation that the armored train was intact.

Everyone present, including Yoshio Shinozuka, was filled with hearts.

Although there are only 4 artillery pieces of armored trains, these four artillery pieces have a very high degree of automation, and are not inferior to naval guns. Whether it is the actual rate of fire or hit accuracy, they are much higher than the field guns that rely on manpower to load. Therefore, the four car-mounted cannons are equivalent to an artillery brigade!

Now we can only hope that the two Type 96 land attack aircraft of the Flying Team 9 can arrive as soon as possible, and then quickly destroy the armored trains hijacked by the Eighth Route Army.

"What time is it at Yamamoto?"

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly looked up and asked.

Yamamoto Ichiki raised his wrist and looked at Panerai's radium gauge, then paused and said, "Six thirty-two."

"Has it been more than half an hour?" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "From the time point, the two Type 96 land attack aircraft of the Flying Team 9 should have arrived, right?"

"Hayi." Shibata Shigeruchi said, "It must have arrived."

Two Type 96 land attack aircraft took off from Wusu Airport half an hour ago, and must have arrived in Yangquan now.

Yoshio Shinozuka turned his eyes to Takuya Suwahara, the Communications Division Chief: "Muwahara, has the 4th Brigade Regiment Department sent a telegram to report that the fortifications of the castle wall have been lost?"

"No." Takuya Mizuhara shook his head.

"Yoxi." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded,

A smile finally appeared on his face.

As long as the city walls and fortifications have not been lost yet.

This means that the battlefield is still outside the city wall.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka's speech had not yet fallen, and a communications consultant came in.

"Hiss Commander, Captain Sato Shiichi, the communications squadron of the 4th Brigade, just sent a farewell telegram!"

"Nani? Farewell telegram?" Including Yoshio Shinozuka, the eyes of more than a dozen old Japanese devils in the war room fell on the communications staff.

Everyone looked incredible.

Especially Yoshio Shinozuka, the smile on his face froze.

I just thought that Yangquan was fine, but the 4th Brigade sent a farewell telegram?

After a while, the Communications Section Chief Takuya Suzuhara finally came to his senses and shouted at the Communications Staff: "Sakurada, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Hayi." The communications staff member paused, "But, I'm not talking nonsense. Sato Kumma of the Communications Squadron of the 4th Brigade sent a farewell telegram. Five minutes ago, the Eighth Route Army had already broken into the 4th Brigade headquarters. General Maeda Hide, the 4th Brigade commander, attempted suicide by suicide by attempting a caesarean section and was killed by the Eighth Route Army."

"The 4th Brigade headquarters has been completely destroyed."

"These situations were seen by Sato Kwan."

After the communications officer finished speaking, the war room suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, the Chief of Staff of the 1st Army, Takaki Tanaka whispered: "Master Commander?"

Yoshio Shinozuka sighed lightly and said with a sad expression: "Order, the 9th Brigade will immediately withdraw to Taiyuan, and the Yamazaki Brigade will also give up reinforcements and withdraw back to Shouyang."

If the 4th Brigade still insists, then the 9th Brigade and Yamazaki Brigade will of course have to provide reinforcements at all costs, even if they pay greater losses for this, they will be willing to do so.

Because losses are one thing, not saving lives is another.

But now the 4th Brigade headquarters has been wiped out, so there is no need to rush to Yangquan at all costs.

After all, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi is at its most empty time, especially along the Zhengtai Road, which has the most empty force. If something happens to Yamazaki Brigade and the 9th Brigade, Taiyuan may face danger.

At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka felt the threat from the Eighth Route Army.

It seems that General Okamura and Yamamoto Kazuki's judgment is correct. The Eighth Route Army will become the biggest threat to the Japanese army, and the upright security battle will soon become the main task of the North China Front Army, especially the 1st Army.

In this way, the innovation of tactics must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

However, there are things that are more important than innovating tactics now.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka turned his gaze to Shibata Nobuichi and said in a deep voice: "Shibata-kun!"

"General!" Shibata Nobuichi immediately stepped forward, first he held his feet at attention, and then paused at Shinozuka Yoshio, "I wonder what you have to give?"

"The 9th Team immediately dispatched all combat aircraft!"

Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Whether it is an attack aircraft, fighter aircraft or reconnaissance aircraft, all of them will be dispatched, and then bring all the aviation bombs that can be carried."

"Don't have any reservations."

"Top all the bombs on the heads of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Not only the armored trains cannot be left to the Eighth Route Army, but also the weapons, equipment and all materials abandoned by the 4th Brigade cannot fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hayi!" Shibata Nobu was slapping his head again and again.

Immediately turned around and left.

...

Half an hour passed quickly.

Wang Ye is still searching around the ruins of the 4th Brigade.

However, Wang Ye’s luck is really not very good today. He didn’t get any good skills when he opened the treasure chest before. After more than half an hour of searching, he didn’t find any assistant officers.

It's not right, I still found a few.

But none of them were alive, all dead officers.

After working hard for a long time, even a bronze treasure chest was not exposed.

After searching again, I suddenly heard a tiny sound of footsteps behind me.

When I looked back quickly, I happened to see Li Yunlong rushing towards the corner of the corridor with a ghost-headed knife.

"Is it you, Xiao Wang?" Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "If I hadn't reacted quickly, you guy would have already fallen to the ground."

Wang Ye smiled when he heard this.

I thought to myself, Li Yunlong can kill me even with you?

I just stood here and let you cut, and you couldn't cut it.

But he said in a compliment: "Then I have to thank the commander for showing mercy."

As the two of them were talking, a scream of "Oh" came from the corner of the corridor.

When I looked back quickly, I saw Li Yunlong's guard Xiao Zhang lying on the ground, his face broke.

Wang Ye was speechless and thought to himself that this guard was the commander who was left behind by the regiment commander when he was charged, he was still so far away. How can he protect the regiment commander?

Thinking of this, Wang Ye suddenly felt a little moved.

Even if he threw all three skills that he didn't need to be used on Xiao Zhang.

Even Li Yunlong doesn't need these three middle and advanced skills, just Xiao Zhang can use them.

In the original drama, Xiao Zhang seemed to be in the battle of Li Jiapo. In order to protect Zhao Gang, the Japanese were pricked by the Japanese with bayonets. Now with advanced fighting, he probably wouldn't be stabbed to death by the Japanese again.

"Fuck!" Xiao Zhang couldn't help but shivered.

Li Yunlong turned around and cursed, "What are you fucking?"

"Uh? I didn't fuck anything." Xiao Zhang scratched his head and whispered, "It just feels so good."

"It's so good to fall?" Li Yunlong said, "You're so naughty, don't you break your brain, right?"

Li Yunlong didn't like this guard who was stupid at first, and now he doesn't like it even more. He thought to think of a way to give this guy to Lao Zhao as a guard after the battle.

"Captain, why are you here?" Wang Ye then asked Li Yunlong.

"Just, why can't I come?" Li Yunlong said, "When you were still learning to walk, I was already playing with the White Bandits on the Hubei, Henan and Anhui battlefield."
