Tsukata's nightmare was far from that night. In the next few days, almost all the watchtowers and strongholds in Laiyuan were attacked one after another, and even soldiers and Japanese were attacked in Laiyuan City. All his energy was restrained by these attacks and he could not organize the sweeping and robbery as planned.

"Your Captain, according to multiple investigations from subordinates, he found that the Eighth Route Army troops were carrying out this series of attacks and destruction incidents." Guigu's eyes were covered with bloodshot. He was busy running around these days, which was almost equivalent to running in Laiyuan twice or three times. The news was only heard by him in person, and under "coercion and temptation", he learned from the head of Ermashan.

"Eighth Route Army troops? When did Laiyuan have the Eighth Route Army? Isn't it just a Communist guerrilla team?" This was the first time Tsukada heard the words "Eighth Route Army troops" during his tenure. Laiyuan was occupied for several years, and the regular Chinese army in the territory had long been missing.

"Yes, my subordinates have confirmed that a Eighth Route Army unit entered Laiyuan not long ago, and the Shangzhuang stronghold was captured by them."

Ermashan revealed the news to Guigu was approved by the consent of the regiment commander Shi and Secretary Tan in advance. When discussing how to delay the Japanese's sweep pace, he considered that if the traces of the independent regiment were not exposed, harassment alone might not be able to stop Tsukada. Giving him some deterrence might not be a bad thing. When he learned that there was an Eighth Route Army unit within his jurisdiction, he would consider it when sending troops. Of course, Uncle Guo and the others would not tell Guigu that the independent regiment in Laiyuan was, and they would not tell him the actual force. They just walked out this information and panicked Tsukada.

"So that's it. The Shangzhuang incident has always made me wonder. How could the Eighth Route Army, the Baishishan Guerrillas, capture Shangzhuang, which has been heavily defending and defending in such a short time? The Eighth Route Army in North China have always been very good at fighting, and the failure of Shangzhuang is not unfair." Tsukada was very surprised when he heard the main force of the Eighth Route Army appearing in Laiyuan, and then sighed as if he had lifted some burden.

Guigu knew his old boss very well. He was worried about how to report the Shangzhuang incident to Commander Miyamoto. Now he just gave him a good excuse. "Captain, should we report the situation of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan to Commander Miyamoto?"

"Can you confirm the size of the Eighth Route Army entering Laiyuan?" Tsukata asked his most concerned question. It was a sure thing to report it to Commander Miyamoto, but before reporting it, you must consider how to report it, including the number of people, weapons and equipment, combat effectiveness, etc. of the Eighth Route Army.

"It is impossible to be sure, but according to the estimates of subordinates, the size of this Eighth Route Army is no less than a regiment-level unit of the Chinese army." Guigu's judgment was quite accurate.

"No, I don't think so." Tsukada shook his head and denied Guigu's judgment. "If it were just a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I believe they would not have such strong combat power and could seize Shangzhuang under our noses."

"Your Captain, I agree with your judgment." Guigu knew what his boss was thinking. Only by infinitely exaggerating the enemy's strength would the impact of Shangzhuang's failure on him be minimized. Maybe Commander Miyamoto felt guilty and sent more troops to Laiyuan and restored to Tsuna's command. After all, there were so many Eighth Route Army troops entering Laiyuan, and the intelligence department did not get any news, which was also the boss's dereliction of duty.

"The Eighth Route Army has a scale of 100 regiments in North China. I think there is at least one division-level unit of the Chinese army when entering Laiyuan this time." Tsukata smiled. His subordinate was worthy of being the confidant brought down from the provincial capital. He understood his thoughts with just a little tip. Tsukata did not care about the fact that the Eighth Route Army had only three divisions in total. This has been verified by the intelligence department of the Japanese army in North China. For him, it was the best to say that the Eighth Route Army headquarters had entered Laiyuan. Unfortunately, he could not report this way. The location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters is something that even the National Government and the Juicy authorities did not know. He, a little master, could not believe it, and he could not bear the responsibility of lying to report military information.

"Yes, my subordinates have discovered in the past few days that large-scale Eighth Route Army activities have been found everywhere in Laiyuan. It is very likely that there are three to four Chinese troops." Guigu said very well. He is a butcher, and he is also a person who is very good at flattering his superiors and favors his boss.

"Then report it to Commander Miyamoto in this way, and request tactical guidance at the same time." Tsukada's approach was actually a shameless approach. There was an unwritten rule within the Japanese army. Until the last moment, he would not ask his superiors to give tactical guidance. Now Laiyuan's situation is far from being able to deal with.

"Your Captain, do you want to think about it again? It should be enough for us to ask the commander to send a reinforcement army, and there is no need for tactical guidance, right?" Guigu couldn't let go

That little bit of sad samurai glory was extremely reluctant to bear the bad reputation of asking for "tactical guidance".

"King Gu, you have to believe my judgment. This will not be a stain on us. Instead, there is a great chance to become the glory of your and my military career." Tsukada fantasized about being able to annihilate the Eighth Route Army troops within his jurisdiction in one fell swoop. In his perception, as long as he achieves such achievements, wouldn't it be a matter of promotion and title to be promoted and added?

"But......"

"Nothing, but, execute my order and send a report to Commander Miyamoto immediately."

Guigu still wanted to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Tsukada Manhenran. The two of them had different thinking about the problem and wanted different results, so they naturally had to disagree. Guigu was a subordinate, and despite his many reluctance, he had to obey honestly. His career was tied to Tsukada.

When Miyamoto Shinichi, who was far away in the provincial capital, received a telegram from Tsukada, he thought that he was dazzled and that a large-scale Eighth Route Army troops would appear in Laiyuan. This was too inconsistent with the current form. However, he knew that Tsukada was a person and trusted him very much. He would never think that this guy was exaggerating himself and exaggerating.

Miyamoto did not delay too much and quickly organized a military meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

"General Miyamoto, your information is not wrong, right? It is impossible for a large number of Eighth Route Army troops to appear in Laiyuan." Lou Zuguang, commander of the Independent Mixed Brigade of the North China Public Security Army, was very disbelief, and he first asked.

"It is a fact that a large-scale Eighth Route Army appeared in Laiyuan. We will not discuss it now. I will ask you to come here to discuss how to send troops." Miyamoto was quite polite to Lou Zuguang. When he arrived at his position, his work was completely different from that of a lower-level officer.
