Takumi Mizuhara laughed awkwardly, but his heart was a little shocked.

It is not a good phenomenon that Okamura Yanji values ​​him so much. There are only two possibilities. One is that Okamura Yanji really appreciates his abilities and is ready to focus on cultivating him.

The second is that the story is revealed.

Okamura Yasuji is now a cat show mouse.

Takumi Suwon also prefers the second possibility.

It seems that it is necessary to prepare in advance and prepare in advance.

Fortunately, the raid on the Eighth Route Army's northwestern bandit area has not yet ended, and he did not leak key information to the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, causing the Japanese army to suffer heavy damage. Therefore, in the principle of not making trouble, Okamura Yasuji should not touch him, so he still has enough time to prepare for a plan to escape.

I have to say that Takuya Mizuhara is really vigilant.

Okamura Yasuji didn't know that Takumi Mizuhara had become alert to him.

Okamura Yasuji took the long wooden pole from Masao Inamura, pointed to the sand table and said, "Please look, the deployment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army can be roughly divided into two pieces."

"Deployed together in Gan County, Ping'an County and Anhua County."

"The purpose is to block the highway and prevent the imperial army from chasing it quickly from the highway."

"The other part is deployed in the triangular area between Wohu Mountain District, Jiugong Mountain District and three county towns, aiming to block the detour passage of our two-wing mountain division and at the same time protect its main force behind it."

Speaking of this, Okamura Yasuji used a long wooden pole to point hard near Chenzhuang.

He also said: "Now, due to the detour infiltration of my 15 infantry brigades, the Eighth Route Army in the north and south wings and the middle triangle area has attracted the area near Chenzhuang."

"So, the north and south wings must be empty at this time."

Speaking of this, Okamura Yanji suddenly shouted: "Order!"

All the generals and officers in the entire combat hall stood at attention.

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "The 26th Division immediately attacked and advanced towards Jiugong Town, the 27th Division attacked and advanced towards Malan Town, and the 75th Division and the 110th Division attacked and advanced towards Yuanao Town and Sanqi Town, and must block the Eighth Route Army behind the Eighth Route Army in Anhua and Ping'an County!"

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasushi paused heavily and turned to the communications class.

The combat division chief Masao Inamori started the sand table work with several battles.

After a while, four groups of war games composed of four divisions (without 9 infantry brigades) were arranged into four arrows, pointing from the north and south wings to Jiugong Town, Sanqi Town, Malan Town and Yuanao Town respectively.

...

At around four o'clock in the morning, the eastern sky was slightly white.

The brigade commander led the column headquarters to advance along the highway towards Wanmadu.

After all, the Northwest Shanxi Column is just the prototype of the field troops. Many institutions are actually mixed with local military regions, so the organizational structure is still very simple and retreats are very fast.

After ordering, the agency will be evacuated for only half an hour.

Of course, this is also because the local military district organs have evacuated first.

As he was marching forward, Li Yunlong led a militia captain to catch up with him panting.

"Brig Commander." Li Yunlong shouted loudly, "There is a situation."

The brigade commander stopped and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"Commander Chen." The militia captain saluted, "I am the captain of the Malan Town Squad. After our main force in the second division was transferred, only half of our district team was stationed in Malan Town. This morning, just as the sky was bright, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed over from the east. There were at least tens of thousands of people, and there were also the horse team!"

"Ten Thousands of Japanese?" the brigade commander said sternly, "There are still horse teams?"

Li Yunlong said: "The Brigade Commander may be a major division of the Japanese!"

"Not possible, but certain." The brigade commander said sternly, "Okamura Niji, an old devil, is really powerful. He actually calculated that we would give up the county town, so he sent heavy troops to intercept him in advance!"

"Luckily we are not stupid either. We evacuated the county town early before dawn."

Speaking of this, he said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there are probably Japanese in Jiugong Town."

Li Yunlong said: "Brig Commander, this is a bit bad. There is no problem with our third team. Lao Ding's first team must have time, but Lao Kong's second team will most likely be dumplings."

"So we can't let the Japanese close the door so quickly." said the brigade commander, "Li Yunlong, you can immediately bring a regiment to Malan Town to block the Japanese. There is no need to fight with the Japanese, just hold them back."

"Yes!" Li Yunlong agreed, turned his head and shouted, "Chenquan?Chenquan?!"

The third regiment commander Chen Quan came over and asked, "Captain, are you looking for me?"

Li Yunlong said: "Take the three groups with me."

"Yes." Chen Quan responded, turned around and shouted, "3 groups, everyone gathered!"

Soon, Li Yunlong led more than a thousand officers and soldiers from the 3rd Regiment to Malan Town.

Watching Li Yunlong and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment leave, the brigade commander suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately called Xing Zhiguo, the deputy commander of the Third Detachment.

The brigade commander said: "Xing Zhiguo, you will take the 1st regiment to guard Yuanao Town to prevent the Japanese from surrounding our retreat from further away."

"But." Xing Zhiguo said with some embarrassment, "Brig Commander, Lao Li took away the 3rd Regiment. The 2nd Regiment was cooperating with the second division of Chenzhuang to block the Japanese army that infiltrated in. If I take the 1st Regiment away, there will be only a small number of guards and staff officers left in the headquarters. How about your safety?"

"I won't have anything to do here." The brigade commander said in a deep voice.

"As long as you can defend Yuanao Town and Li Yunlong defends Malan Town, I will be fine!"

"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo stopped talking, and after saluting the brigade commander, he also took the 1st regiment away.

The brigade commander called the communications section chief to come and ordered: "Secretary Liang, send a telegram to a detachment immediately, asking Ding Wei to send troops to guard Jiugong Town and Sanqi Town to ensure the safety of the passage."

"Yes." The communications section chief quickly asked someone to set up a radio station.

...

At the same time, Kong Jie also led the main force of the Second Detachment to evacuate Ping'an County.

The Second Detachment originally had three main groups and direct troops, with more than 7,000 people, but now when he evacuated from Ping'an County, there were only more than 2,000 people following Kong Jie.

In fact, there were more than 3,000 people.

But Wen Zhaoqi took the 3rd regiment away last night.

Seeing that there were fewer queues, Kong Jie couldn't help feeling sad. Damn, there were more than 7,000 officers and soldiers in a detachment, but only more than 2,000 people were left after a few battles. So, let's get back to the regiment commander.

Just as Kong Jie was sad, continuous explosions suddenly sounded behind him.

I looked back quickly and saw that there was a fire that had soared into the sky in Ping'an County.

Guan Dashan, who was walking beside Kong Jie, chuckled and said with a grim voice: "Captain, this is enough for the Japanese to suffer."

Before retreating, the Second Detachment buried a large number of landmines and explosive packs on the position in accordance with the unified deployment of the column headquarters and made a large serial thunder. Judging from the movement, it must have been detonated.

I just don’t know how many Japanese devils killed in this big explosion?

Kong Jie said, "The thunder exploded, and the Japanese should know that we have retreated, so we will definitely start a crazy pursuit of us next."

"Oh yes." Guan Dashan hurriedly said, "Then we have to go faster."

"It's not enough to be fast." Kong Jie waved his hand and said, "I remember Xiao Wang told me that you can't put eggs in a basket, so we scored soldiers. Lao Guan, you will take the 1st Regiment to the north of Chenzhuang, and the 2nd Regiment to follow me to the south of Chenzhuang, and by the way, see if you can rescue several troops trapped in the battlefield of Chenzhuang, but remember not to fight in love."

"Yes." Guan Dashan immediately took the 1st regiment to the north.

Kong Jie took the 2nd regiment to the south.

...

Taiyuan, combat hall of the 1st Army Command.

Takuya Suddenly went to Yoshinoya again and ordered breakfast for everyone.

Of course, it was inevitable that the latest news was conveyed to the Taiyuan Station of the Military Control Commission, and it received 100 gold.

Okamura Yasuji was drinking porridge, and the communications chief Yasushi Inoue hurried in and reported: "Genius General, the 26th Division is in Jiugong Town and the 27th Division is strongly blocked by the 386th Brigade in Malan Town. The 11th Independent Infantry Regiment and the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Chinese Infantry Regiment were severely damaged."

"What?" Shin-chizuo Yoshimoto cried out, "This is impossible!"

But Takuya Suwon said: "This should be the main force of the 386th Brigade in Dong Prefecture and Anhua Prefecture."

"The main force of the 386th Brigade?" Okamura asked with a narrow expression, "Suhun Jun, are you saying that Chen Gen and Wang Ye have foreseeed the main force of the 386th Brigade in Wan Prefecture, Heian Prefecture and Anhua, so they issued a retreat order in advance? And they also sent troops to seize Malan Town and Jiugong Town in advance to protect the safety of both wings?"

Takuya Suwara nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it must be like this."

"Is this unlikely?" Yoshimoto Satoshi said, "If the main force of the 386th Brigade has really evacuated from Wan County, Ping'an County and Anhua County, why didn't the 1st Division and the other four divisions report? On this night, the five divisions of their attacks on three counties have never stopped."

Takuya Suwahara smiled and said, "I guess there will be news soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications consultant hurried in.

"Hissergeant General." said the communications staff member. "The 72nd Division urgently fired, and their attacking troops were severely damaged by a large serial thunder in the latest attack!"

"What?" Shin-chi Yoshimoto said, "Large-serial thunder?"

"Yes." The communications officer said, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army buried a large amount of explosives and landmines on several main streets of Ping'an County, and made a large serial mine. The attacking troops of the 72nd Division did not know that the 386th Brigade had evacuated and did not notice that it had suffered heavy damage for the moment. Both infantry squadrons that were put into the attack were severely damaged."

"Haga!" Okamura Niji said gritting his teeth, "Cunning and cunning!"

After a pause, Okamura Yasuji said again: "Order the 72nd Division to pursue immediately. Such a good opportunity to beat the dogs in the water should not be missed easily. We must kill and injure the living power of the 386th Brigade as much as possible!"

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasushi paused his head and was about to turn around and leave when another communications officer came in.

"Your Excellency General, the 1st Division, and the 74th Division were urgently sent. Their attacking troops in Wan County and Anhua County were all attacked by thunders from the 386th Brigade, with heavy casualties!"

"I understand." Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice, "order the 1st Division, the 74th Division to pursue the 386th Brigade, and telegraphed Nakazawa and Yanagawa-kun that he must bite the 386th Brigade like a mad dog, and he must not let the 386th Brigade escape easily. Even if they escaped in the end, they would have to peel off their skin!"

"Hayi." Inoue Yasuhi paused his head again.

...

Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Building combat hall.

After getting up, Chang Kaishen did not take a walk on the trail by the Jialing River, but went straight to the combat hall.

Chu Yunfei and Tang Zong didn't sleep all night last night and were both on duty. When they saw Chang Kaishen coming in, they quickly saluted.

Chang Kaishen waved his hand and then asked Tang Zong again: "Naijian, was the latest news coming last night?"

"Yes." Tang Zong nodded and continued, "In the middle of the night, Webmaster Wang sent another secret message to us to report the latest progress of the war in northern Shanxi."

Chu Yunfei continued, "It's all messed up."
To be continued...
