Time passed quietly, and it was soon midnight.

Okamura Yasuji had a midnight snack in the restaurant, and hurried back to the war room.

The old Japanese decided not to sleep tonight because tonight's military operation will determine whether it can completely wipe out several main regiments of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, especially the independent regiment.

Seeing Okamura Yasuji, Miyanoji quickly came to meet him.

"Commander." Miyano said as he paused his head, "The 26th Division intercepted at least 30 small Eighth Route Army units, wiped out at least 15 of them, and the rest were all severely damaged!"

"The specific results are still under statistics, but at least thousands of enemies were wiped out!"

"The 37th Division also intercepted at least 40 Eighth Route Army small units, wiped out at least 10 of them, and severely damaged at least 20 of them."

"There are at least nearly a thousand enemies!"

Okamura Yanji frowned slightly: "So, are there still many Eighth Route Army breaking through the blockade line and running away?"

"Cough." Miyano Dao coughed lightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "The main reason is that the 26th Division has drawn an infantry corps back to defend Taiyuan. The 37th Division originally had only two regiments, and also two infantry brigades have been transferred to assist Yuci, so the blockade line is not as tight as before."

"Forget it, at least the two regiments of the 386th Brigade have suffered heavy losses." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "So, is the whereabouts of the independent regiment confirmed?"

"It's confirmed." Miyano Daoichi said affirmatively, "I really went to Lingjing Township!"

"I've really gone to Lingjing Township?" Okamura Yanji's face darkened and said, "Where are the two brigades of the 8th Brigade? Is the entrance to Lingjing Township blocked?"

Miyanodo said quickly: "It should be soon."

"It should be soon?" Okamura's face suddenly collapsed, "Isn't it yet?"

Miyano Doichi smiled bitterly and said, "Because the mountain road is too rugged and difficult to walk, and it is night again, the two infantry brigades of the 8th Brigade are slower, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the communications officer Takao Nishino hurried in.

"Hisser Commander, Chief of Staff!" Nishino Hiroo paused, "The 35th and 36th Battalion of Independent Infantry, which belongs to the 8th Independent Brigade, have arrived in Lingjing Township, but..."

Miyano Dorae jumped and said anxiously: "But what?"

Hiroo Nishino said in a deep voice: "However, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has passed Lingjing Township first!"

"Nani? The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has passed Lingjing Township?" Miyo Dao said in a loss, "How is it possible? How could their marching speed be so fast?"

"There is nothing impossible!" Okamura Yanji groaned, "Order, the 108th Infantry Brigade immediately gave up its heavy equipment and went to Jiechou Township at a forced speed to intercept the area of ​​Xiyan Town!"

"Anyway, we must block the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Jiechou Township and Xiyan Town!"

"Another order, the 35th and 36th Battalions of Independent Infantry bit the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment from behind!"

"Hayi!" Nishino Hitoo paused heavily and hurried back to the telecommunications class to issue an order.

"Baga!" Okamura Yanji's eyes returned to the combat map and frowned, "How did the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment accurately find the gap between Xiyan Town and Jiechou Township?"

"What the Commander said is very true." Miyano said deeply, "If it is simply because the northeast corner is in the middle of the 26th Division and the 110th Division, then the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment should choose Yanggong Township, which is located more in the middle, rather than Xiyan Town, which is located more in the south, to Jiechou Township."

"Yes." Okamura Nishi frowned, "The reaction of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment was as if they knew the entire operation of the Imperial Army, which was really puzzling!"

Miyano Dao's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency Commander, you are suspicious..."

"Oh, that's not what I mean." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand quickly and said, "The headquarters cannot have traitors. This should be something unknown to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has?"

...

On the rugged mountain road of Jiechou Village.

Wang Yan led Wei Dayong and Wang Gensheng ran rapidly halfway up the mountain.

In the valley at the foot of their mountain, a huge Japanese army was marching forward with torches.

Wang Gensheng was exhausted and panting. He ran a few steps to catch up with Wei Dayong: "Monk, it's your turn to carry it again!"

"You have only been in charge of your damn goodbye, and you have to change it?" Wei Dayong glared at him, "Believe it or not, I will beat you up?"

"Captain, please give us a comment." Wang Gensheng asked Wang Yan for help with a bitter face, "I have been caring for half a night. The monk is so fucking nothing!"

"Monk!" Wang Yan couldn't stand it anymore, "It's your turn to me."

Wei Dayong said oh, and he had to take the Walkie-Telephone unwillingly.

Wang Gensheng lost the burden on the walkie-talkie and his steps became much lighter.

I even felt in a mood to hum: "In this life, people are just ditches and obstacles. They don't become monks' slaves, don't become exhausted ghosts, la la la la la la... huh!"

Wei Dayong said angrily: "What's wrong?"

Wang Gensheng shouted in a low voice: "Captain, the Japanese seem to be speeding up again!"

"Hmm?" Wang Yan looked down quickly, and saw that the Japanese who had just advanced with them had already run to the front.

Wang Yan guessed the reason at once and said with a dark face: "The Japanese must have left all the heavy equipment, otherwise they would never have run so fast!"

"What should I do?" Wei Dayong asked gasped.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "At this speed, the main force of the regiment may collide with the Japanese head-on in Jiechouxiang. You have to notify the regiment commander as soon as possible, or continue to speed up or change directions!"

Wang Yan asked Wei Dayong to put down his walkie-talkie and turn it on.

"Dongyaodongyao, Dongyaodongyao, Dongyao two call Dongyao, please answer when you hear it."

After a while, Li Yunlong's panting voice came over: "Dongyao received it, please speak with Dongqian!"

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Captain, the Japanese suddenly accelerated the marching speed. It is estimated that they have left behind the heavy equipment. At the current speed, the main force of the regiment is likely to encounter the Japanese head-on in Jiechouxiang, so we have only two choices now, either speed up and grab the Japanese head-on in front of Jiechouxiang, or change direction."

Li Yunlong said: "It is probably not possible to change directions. The 8th Japanese Brigade has been biting behind our butts, so even if the direction is changed, the Japanese in front will immediately change directions."

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Then you have to continue to accelerate!"

"I understand, your wolf teeth team continues to monitor!" Li Yunlong interrupted the communication after saying that.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "No, we have to find a way to hold the Japanese."

"What, we?" Wang Gensheng said in a daze, "Captain, we are only three of us, can we hold up thousands of Japanese devils?"
