Chapter 133 Yoshio Shinozuka's Suspicion (Subscribe)
The [-]th Mixed Brigade set up a temporary camp, and more than a thousand devils did not recharge their batteries in the village as Major General Miyazawa said.

Everyone seemed to be frightened, panicked, and didn't feel sleepy at all...

To put it more precisely: they dare not sleep, fearing that if they close their eyes they will never be able to open them again.

"Boom..." The violent explosion sounded again, and seven balls of fire rose into the air in the middle of the village. The pervasive nitrate instantly enveloped the two courtyards, and the thatched cottage was also turned into a pile of ruins in the explosion.

Half of the fifty or so devils stationed in the yard were blown up in an instant. The living devils stood up from the ground like a conditioned reflex, and rushed to the gate of the yard, each running faster than the other, wanting to leave the yard earlier.

"Rumble..."

The second round of shells came one after another, and the rate of fire of the mortar was very fast. No matter how fast the devils reacted, there were still more than a dozen people who did not run out, and were drowned in the artillery fire on the spot...

The Devil Artillery Squadron immediately adjusted its mortar fire and wanted to fight back.

But the artillery company fired two rounds of shells and began to shift.

This is not Lijiapo, where the devils are trapped on the top of the mountain, with limited space, and nowhere to go if they want to transfer, and finally they are beaten out of temper by the artillery battalion of the brigade.

As long as the artillery company is willing, it will be no problem to move hundreds of meters away in one breath. When the devils shoot the revenge shells out of the barrel, the artillery company of the independent regiment will have already withdrawn to a hundred meters away!
After firing five rounds of cannonballs in a row, no one of the devils knew whether the artillery coverage just now had any effect, so they could only stop.

As a result, in less than half an hour, the Eighth Route Army's artillery attack appeared again...

It made the devils take so much trouble that they couldn't find a target even if they wanted to take revenge...

Major General Miyazawa was very irritable, his eyes were already red from exhaustion, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Standing in the room, Major Yamada and Major Jiamu also had dignified faces.

"General, I underestimated the strength of the Eighth Route Army. I didn't expect them to take out seven mortars to attack us at the same time. The shells are still very sufficient!" Yamada Shaozuo spoke first, his face was very ugly, obviously he was hit hard by the Eighth Route Army.

"My humble estimate has been roughly calculated. The Eighth Route Army has destroyed more than [-] shells during the artillery attack tonight and the shells we suffered during the day. Each cannon is almost fifty rounds!"

"Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army's equipment was inferior, ammunition was scarce, and heavy weapons were scarce?"

"The Eighth Route Army we met had all kinds of weapons, mortars, and plenty of ammunition. Is this the Eighth Route Army we know?"

Major General Gong Ze deeply agreed: "I also underestimated this Eighth Route Army..."

"But this is the end of the matter. What we can do now is to reduce casualties, preserve our strength, and return to Yangquan quickly after dawn!"

"The counterattack effect of artillery fire is very limited..." Shaozuo Jiamu continued.

"The two artillery squadrons have used up five or six hundred shells, and they haven't destroyed a single mortar of the Eighth Route Army!"

"They are very cunning...not only deploying artillery separately, but also shifting positions after only firing two rounds of shells. Now it is night, which greatly increases the difficulty for gunners to observe. It is difficult for us to even lock them, let alone kill them!"

"If the effect is poor, we have to fight back!" Major General Miyazawa replied decisively.

"Otherwise, the Artillery Unit of the Eighth Route Army will sneak up on us even more unscrupulously, and the casualties of the troops will increase!"

"Report..." The communications staff officer suddenly walked in with a particularly serious expression.

After seeing it, Major General Miyazawa's face became even more ugly, and he frowned and asked, "Haven't you contacted the Fujiwara brigade yet?"

The communications staff officer shook his head: "We started calling an hour ago, and there was no interruption in the middle, and there is still no response from the Fujiwara brigade!"

"According to your order: the two parties must contact each other every hour..."

"We have been out of contact for two hours now!"

"There must be something wrong with the radio station equipped by the Fujiwara Brigade!" Shaozuo Jiamu replied with certainty.

"I remember Fujiwara-kun reporting to the head of the brigade after the division of troops: There is an Eighth Route Army that has been moving around to attack them... The radio operator is a key target of the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack, and the possibility of the radio station being destroyed is very high!"

"I agree with this analysis!" Major Yamada immediately stood up to support it.

"The total strength of the Fujiwara Battalion exceeds [-] people... It is impossible to be wiped out in an instant if attacked, and it is impossible to even have time to send a telegram!"

"But we didn't receive a telegram that the Fujiwara brigade was in danger, indicating that they just had a problem with the radio station!"

The subordinates' analysis was well-founded, and Major General Miyazawa could not find any reason to refute it, so he could only accept their judgment.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The communication unit continues to use the radio to contact the Fujiwara brigade..."

"According to the time calculation, the Fujiwara brigade will return to Yangquan in two hours... When they return to Yangquan, all our questions will be solved!"

"General, there is a situation outside the village!" A captain rushed in with a face full of panic, forgetting to even knock on the door.

When he saw Major General Miyazawa, he began to report, regardless of Major Yamada and Major Yoshiki who were standing aside.

"The security post outside the village was suddenly attacked, and more than half of the light and dark sentries have lost contact..."

"A large number of Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared around the village, with at least one battalion in each direction. We also found a large number of heavy machine guns and grenade grenades in their ranks..."

"and……"

Major General Miyazawa got up from his chair at some point, walked quickly to the captain, looked him in the eyes and asked anxiously: "And what? Tell me everything you saw..."

"Hurry up, I'm so anxious!"

"And they are still digging trenches outside the village and building offensive positions!" The captain bit the bullet and reported.

"The trench surrounded the village, as if to surround us here!"

"Nani?" Major General Miyazawa did not expect the situation he least wanted to face to happen so soon.

He raised his legs and ran outside the headquarters, climbed onto the roof, raised his binoculars to observe the surroundings, and ordered while watching: "Immediately fire two flares towards the south of the village..."

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Flares flew up into the sky with a howling sound, and after reaching the highest point, they exploded into a ball of dazzling white light and slowly fell to the ground.

The battlefield that was still pitch black just now was instantly illuminated into daylight!
The Eighth Route Army is everywhere outside the village, and there are hundreds of people in the east of the village alone...

Except for a few soldiers armed with guns, most of them are digging trenches...

The location of the main trench has been revealed!

Three to four hundred meters away from the village, a full circle was dug around the village...

Faced with this scene, the fool also knew that the village was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they wanted to make persistent efforts to eat up the remaining two brigades of the Fourth Mixed Brigade.

"General... minus the casualties caused by the artillery raids just now, there are [-] people left in the two brigades..."

"Including more than [-] gunners and machine gunners, more than [-] supply soldiers, and more than [-] combat soldiers!"

"If the Eighth Route Army has sufficient ammunition and continues to attack us with mortars from a long distance, the troops will lose at least two hundred people before dawn, and the number of combat soldiers may drop to less than one thousand!"

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army dispatched an artillery battalion when they attacked the Yamazaki Brigade. If they moved this artillery battalion here, our losses in the artillery fire would be tripled, and the number of soldiers who could actually fight would be reduced to less than [-]. , it won't last long!"

Major General Miyazawa is arrogant, but that doesn't mean he has no brains.

After a little analysis, you can see your dangerous situation. It is difficult to break out of the Eighth Route Army base only with the remaining troops on hand.

Immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to the military immediately!"

"We are going to be besieged by the Eighth Route Army. The total strength has been reduced to [-] people. We may be surrounded and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army at any time. Please order the reinforcements of Li Jiapo's troops to approach me immediately!"

"The Yamazaki Brigade failed to complete the task of the center blooming and severely injuring the Eighth Route Army..."

"Our [-]th Mixed Brigade helped him complete it!"

"Should we report the loss of contact between Yangquan County and the Fujiwara brigade to the military headquarters, and let the military headquarters send a plane to help us investigate after dawn!" Jiamu Shaozuo suggested.

"No!" Major General Miyazawa vetoed without hesitation.

"The Fujiwara brigade just lost contact. There is no evidence that they had an accident. This is the result of your analysis just now. There is no need to make a fuss and alarm the military."

"Although Yangquan County has lost contact, as long as the Fujiwara Brigade returns on time, we can regain control there and minimize the adverse impact of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Yangquan."

"If we report to the military headquarters now, the entire North China Front Army will know that there was an accident at the [-]th Mixed Brigade!"

"Even if we regain control of Yangquan, the face of the Fourth Mixed Brigade will be lost!"

"For the honor of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, please don't report this matter if you can't!"

After learning that the Yamazaki Battalion had been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army at the First Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka was very annoyed. He threw three teacups in a row to calm down his anger.

After issuing the retreat order to the reinforcements, they began to study the sand table, looking for the next opportunity to severely damage the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the [-]th Mixed Brigade sends an urgent message... They were besieged by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army. They intend to imitate the Yamazaki Brigade and wait for help. They will create fighter opportunities for the main force of the Imperial Army to encircle and wipe out the Eighth Route Army, and complete the unfinished task of the Yamazaki Brigade...Please ask the military department immediately Call in reinforcements."

"The telegram also said: Their total strength has dropped sharply to [-] people, and there are only more than [-] combat troops left. The Eighth Route Army besieging them is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition. The subsequent losses of the troops will be great. I hope that the reinforcements will come soon. Just kill it!"

"It's impossible..." Shinozuka Yoshio thought he heard a big joke.

"The Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, lacks ammunition, and has no ability to fight continuously!"

"Aviation Report: Before the Yamazaki Brigade was wiped out, at least three of their main regiments were disabled. Do you think the Eighth Route Army that besieged the Yamazaki Brigade still has the strength to encircle and wipe out the Fourth Mixed Brigade?"

"Then what happened to the telegram for help from the Fourth Mixed Brigade?" The chief of staff became more and more confused as he listened.

"Miyazawa-kun is a very steady brigade commander, and he will definitely not lie about the battle situation!"

"He said that the [-]th Mixed Brigade suffered heavy casualties. The total strength has been reduced to [-], and the combat troops are less than [-]..."

"If the Eighth Route Army besieging them was not the main force, the Fourth Mixed Brigade would never have suffered so many casualties!"

"This is also what I don't understand!" Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head, his brows twisted into a big "Chuan" at the same time, and continued to analyze.

"The Eighth Route Army that besieged the Yamazaki Brigade must not have the strength to fight continuously, but they took a huge risk to besiege the Fourth Mixed Brigade. There must be a conspiracy that we don't know about!"
