"Your Excellency Osa, Your Excellency Osa"

In Yangquan, inside the Japanese headquarters, a Japanese staff officer hurriedly ran in, his voice was hurried, and his steps were messy.

"Yaga, what are you panicking about?"

Shinji Kosa glared angrily and asked the staff officer sharply:

"What's the matter?"

Standing upright, solemn, bowing his head, and adjusting his posture, the devil staff officer dared to say:

"I just received news that a group of Eighth Route Army has appeared on the border fifteen miles north of Yangquan to attack the checkpoints at various intersections, with more than two hundred people, and Hei Shaozuo is also broken in the battle with this group of Eighth Route Army."

Kurokawa Shaosa was the captain of the Japanese army who was in charge of guarding the checkpoint north of Yangquan.

"Nani?"

"The Eighth Route Army attacked the northern outpost, and Kurokawa Shao Zuoyu was shattered?"

Shinji Kosa was stunned by these two news.

snatched the folder in the staff officer's hand, and after reading the information recorded in writing, especially when he saw the news that Kurokawa Shaozo led his troops to fight with this group of Eighth Route Army and was killed, Kosa Shinji was furious, and a backhand 'snapped' the folder in his hand and fell to the ground:

"Yaga"

"Rubbish!"

"One Imperial Brigade can't deal with the Eighth Route Army of a few hundred people"

Shinji Kosa was so frightened by Shinji Kosa that the staff officer tensed up.

Walking around the headquarters quickly, Shinji Kosa gasped, and finally he slapped the table hard: "Let Sasaki Nakashozo temporarily replace the captain of the Kurokawa brigade, and order him to gather troops and eliminate this group of Eighth Route Army"

After reading the specific information, Kosa Shinji also understood that the reason why his captain was killed by the Eighth Route Army was not because of incompetence, but because of arrogance, the Imperial Army with a small team took the initiative to attack the Eighth Route Army, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses.

This information also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

More than 200, at most 300 Eight Routes, can't set off the waves, the imperial army and puppet army with more than 1,000 people stationed north of Yangquan, although scattered, but as long as half a squadron is assembled, this group of Eight Roads can be wiped out or driven out.

Moreover, after a head-on battle with a squad of imperial troops, with the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, the ammunition must have been exhausted, and the personnel losses were not small, and it was impossible to make waves again·····

"Hi"

The staff officer left the headquarters with a sigh of relief.

I wasn't beaten...

Walking out of the headquarters, the staff officer touched his face and felt incredible.

But the staff officer had just finished explaining Dazuo's order, and before he had time to catch his breath, he received another bad news.

"Your Excellency Osa..."

This time, the staff officer learned his lesson and calmly walked into the headquarters:

"The Sanhe Town Military Station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the supplies were burned, and the fortress of Wangshui Village was broken by this group of guerrillas, and the garrison detachment was all shattered, and the fortress was destroyed."

The turret is generally called a fortress by the devils themselves.

"According to the report transmitted back from Sanhe Town, this group of Eighth Route Army is about 400 people, with strong firepower and a certain number of mortars."

"Nani..."

Shinji Kosa stood up sharply.

In addition to being frightened, he quickly understood the purpose of the Eighth Route Army in the north.

The one who can be equipped with mortars must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and they have not left yet, and are still attacking and harassing in the north, so the purpose of this group of people must be to cover the group of Eighth Route Army in the south and force him to divide his troops to reduce the pressure on the group of Eighth Route Army in the south!

He quickly walked to the map hanging on the wall, looked at the map around Yangquan, and found the location of the stronghold in Wangshui Village, as well as the location of the military station in Sanhe Town, and then shouted at the staff officer:

"Let Sasaki Shaoza talk to me on the phone and ask him to expel this group of Eighth Route Army immediately"

Just a few hundred people want me to divide the army?

Wish for the moon!

Do you really think I'm the garbage garrison brigade in Jing County and He County?

Shinji Kosa sneered in his heart.

"Hi" staff officer immediately went to pass the order.

It's just that Shinji Kosa didn't wait for Sasaki's call, but waited for even worse news.

"Your Excellency Osa, Sasaki Shaosa was shattered in the battle with the Eighth Route Army in the north, and in addition... A reinforced squadron that accompanied the attack also suffered heavy losses"

The staff officer's tone was flustered this time, he had a hunch that he was going to be beaten, and it would be very heavy.

"Nani ·

Shinji Kosa didn't dare to believe it for a while, he turned his head sharply and stared at the staff officer:

"What did you say?"

"Sasaki Shaosa led a reinforced squadron to engage the Eighth Route Army in the north, and was finally defeated, Sasaki Shaosa was killed, the reinforced squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the samurai of Jade Crushed exceeded 100 people"

Swallowing his throat, the staff officer repeated it with difficulty, and his voice trembled:

"Moreover, this group of Eighth Route Army is still destroying military stations, telephone lines and other facilities on the north side."

"Yaga··"

"It's impossible..."

After a moment of silence, the deafening roar of Shinji Kosa rang out from within the headquarters, accompanied by a crisp 'pop'. As the staff officer expected, Shinji Kosa slapped him in the face hard, knocking the staff officer to the ground.

After slapping his subordinates, Shinji Kosa calmed down in his heart, although he was still angry, and he looked back at the map hanging on the wall, his eyes breathing fire, like a beast that wanted to eat people.

Although he didn't understand why the Eighth Route Army was able to defeat him with a reinforced squadron...

According to previous experience, he had about 250 people in a reinforced squadron, and the Eighth Route Army needed at least 1,000 men to confront it, and as for defeating or even defeating it, it would take at least ten times the number of troops.

However, he knew he had to make a choice.

Either transfer troops to the north to stop the continued destruction of this group of Eighth Route Army, or let this group of Eighth Route Army continue to destroy the north.

Moreover, at least 500 troops must be sent.

However, the troops of more than 500 people could only be drawn from the southern encirclement and suppression of the troops who had fled to Yangquan from Jing County and He County, but the original southern encirclement and suppression troops were not enough, and he had thought about transferring them from the north before.

The reconnaissance plane reported that a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army had entered the mountainous area, and the mountainous area was encircled and suppressed, and a large number of troops were needed.

"Yaga..."

With a hideous face, Shinji Kosa finally gritted his teeth and gave an order:

"Order Koike's brigade to retreat and go to the north to expel the Eighth Route Army somewhere"

Here, Shinji Kosa even used expulsion.

He knew that once his large army went north of Yangquan, this group of Eighth Route Army, which was destroying everywhere in the north, would definitely run away like rabbits...

But knowing that it was a conspiracy, he still had to transfer troops.

There were eleven small towns to the north of Yangquan, and each town had a military station and fortress, as well as a large number of telephone lines, and it was far greater to let this group of Eighth Route Army continue to destroy than to let go of the group of guerrillas in the south······

'Yaga'

Shinji Kosa slammed his fist into the map hanging on the wall.

This feeling of being calculated but powerless made him very unhappy.

······

"Documents, what files"

South of the Jing River, Kazuki Yamamoto meets a patrol of devils, who learns that the patrol has found and seized the documents left behind by the fleeing guerrillas.

"It's all Chinese, we can't read it"

The Devil Squad Leader responded.

At the same time, he respectfully handed over a dozen pieces of paper with bullet holes in his hand to Yamamoto Kazuki.

Kazuki Yamamoto stayed in Yangquan for a week, and the devil officers in Yangquan basically knew Kazuki Yamamoto. The Japanese army officers were highly ranked, and in the face of the rank of Osa, Yamamoto, who was still the commander of the First Army, was honest, respectful, and respectful.

Bullet holes, irregularly distributed mud stains... This should really be left behind by the Eighth Route Army.

Taking the paper, Kazuki Yamamoto bowed slightly.

As a special expert, Kazuki Yamamoto is naturally a China expert, and he looks at it directly.

At this glance, his gaze suddenly froze.

Among these dozen or so pieces of information, one is a portrait, and the name and life of this person are marked under the portrait -

Kuichi Ikeda!

"Where did you pick it up?"

Yamamoto's pupils shrank, and his eyes looked sharply at the devil squad leader in front of him.

"Over there, it's about ten miles away."

Yamamoto's gaze made the devil squad leader a little scared.

"Ohno-kun, you lead the special forces to continue the pursuit of this gang" Yamamoto took Yumori.

"Dazuo, what about you?"

Yamamoto's faint voice startled Junton Ohno, who was acting for the first battle team.

Osa got angry...

And, very angry.

What exactly are those pieces of paper? It actually made Dazuo so angry.

Ohno-kun looked at the documents curiously.

However, he is still learning Chinese characters, and the font is too small, so he can't read a single word.

"I'm going to Yangquan..."

Yamamoto's voice was extremely cold, so that Ono-kun did not dare to ask any more.

······

"Commander, there are a large number of devils over there in Yangquan, at least five hundred people..."

To the north of Yangquan, Li Yunlong, who was destroying the devil's turret, received a message from scouts near Yangquan.

"It's a pity"

Tsk, tsk,

"I won't have such a good opportunity in the future..."

The area north of Yangquan has not been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, so the vigilance of the devils here is extremely low, and a large number of devils have been dispatched to the south, and there are only three or five old, weak, sick and disabled devils in the turret.

He came all the way and easily pulled out five artillery towers and four military stations, burned at least hundreds of telephone poles of the devils, and destroyed at least 50 kilometers of the devil's telephone lines.

And next time the devil will definitely not give him this chance.

"Withdraw..."

With one kick open the door of the devil's turret, Li Yunlong retreated westward with nearly 400 people from five companies of the Independent Regiment.

On the way to retreat, Grand Master Li also picked up the remaining devil weapons and ammunition on the battlefield by the way.

When attacking, the weapons and ammunition in his hand were sufficient, plus the need to reduce the load, Grand Master Li didn't look down on these devils and junk goods, but let people clean up a little, and now that he has retreated, the ammunition he carried from the regiment is almost consumed, and he naturally wants to get it all back.

As for why there are less than 400 people, it's simple.

This is the territory of the devils, there are devils everywhere, although they are all stragglers, but unlike the puppet army, under the arming of bushido, the devils are not afraid of death.

And although the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment are a little superior, they are not much bigger, and after fighting with the devils so many times, the elimination of the devils is close to three hundred, which is not counting the puppet army, and the independent regiment has also paid a huge price for it.

The total casualties were nearly 200, of which more than 90 soldiers died.
