The 9th Brigade went straight from Huting stronghold to the bellows ridge.

Such a big move naturally cannot be hidden from the intelligence officers throughout the base.

In fact, our army intelligence officers discovered it as soon as the 9th Brigade left the Huting stronghold.

However, because the communication methods are too backward, it takes time to pass from the front to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Almost when the 9th Brigade arrived near Teapot Ridge, the phone ring of the Mobile Column Command, the 386th Brigade Department, suddenly rang: "Dingling!"

"Hello, I'm a mobile column."

The Chief of Staff came up and answered the phone.

The brigade commander who was working on the map also looked up.

Who will call at this time? The boss?

"Boss!" the chief of staff stood at attention and said respectfully, "You said."

The brigade commander's expression moved slightly, is it really the boss? Is there a new situation?

After a moment, the Chief of Staff said in surprise: "What? The 9th Brigade is coming out in full swing? It is moving towards Yangcun? OK, okay, I understand, we will notify the Independent Regiment as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured that our mobile column will definitely stop the 9th Brigade."

After hanging up the phone, the Chief of Staff said anxiously: "Brig Commander, the 9th Japanese Brigade has emerged from the Huting Staff stronghold and is rushing towards Yangcun. We must notify the Independent Regiment as soon as possible to prepare for the blocking!"

"There are also 772nd Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment must also move closer to Yang Village."

After saying that, the Chief of Staff shook his handle and said, "Please pick me up the independent regiment."

A moment later, the phone was connected and the chief of staff asked, "This is a mobile column, is it an independent regiment?"

"This is an independent group." The other end of the phone responded, obviously not Li Yunlong.

The Chief of Staff frowned and asked, "Where is Li Yunlong? Who are you?"

"The regiment commander is not here." The opposite responded, "I am the telephone soldier Ge Erdan."

"Ge Erdan?" The Chief of Staff frowned even more and more, "Let Li Yunlong listen to the phone."

While I was talking, I heard a vague sound of gunfire.

Gunshot?! The Chief of Staff's expression changed suddenly.

The 9th Brigade has reached Yangcun? It’s so fast?!

The Chief of Staff took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ge Erdan, right? Why did I hear gunshots? Have the Japanese attacked Yangcun?"

"What?"

Hearing this, the brigade commander's face also changed.

The 9th Brigade has actually reached Yangcun?

Why did the independent delegation not report to the brigade department in advance?

"Yangcun?" Ge Erdan, who was opposite the phone, said, "No, we are in Bellow Ridge."

"What? Bellows Ridge?!" The Chief of Staff was stunned when he heard this, and then grabbed the microphone and said to the brigade commander, "Brig Commander, Li Yunlong is causing trouble again. He acted without authorization and led his troops to Bellows Ridge."

"Don't be anxious first." The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Ask clearly what's going on?"

The chief of staff let go of the microphone and asked again: "Aren't your independent regiment stationed in Fangyang Village? Why did you run to Fengxiangling?"

"I don't know this." Ge Erdan on the other end of the phone said with a wry smile, "Anyway, the leader asked us to come, so we can follow us."

"Give me a call."

The brigade commander suddenly reached out and grabbed the phone.

He immediately asked again: "How many Japanese have you wiped out?"

"It has not been eliminated yet." Ge Erdan said, "just surrounded the Japanese."

The brigade commander looked at each other and asked again, "How many Japanese have you surrounded?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific numbers." Ge Erdan replied inconclusively, "There must be one or two hundred."

"One or two hundred?" The brigade commander was also confused. What's going on? Why do you lose your understanding the more you read? What battle did the Independent Regiment fight? What battle did the Japanese fight?

Haven't the 9th Brigade arrived at Bellow Ridge yet?

Are the Independence Group surrounded other Japanese in Bellow Ridge?

It was strange enough that the Independence Group suddenly ran to the Bellows Ridge.

It’s even more strange that one or two hundred Japanese soldiers ran to the Bellows Ridge. What’s this?

It seems that only asking Li Yunlong is better than guessing.

The brigade commander said again: "Ge Erdan, right? Take the phone to find Li Yunlong, and ask him to call me."

"Report to the chief, no." Ge Erdan on the other end of the phone said helplessly, "The telephone line is not long enough, so it can only stay behind and cannot move to the front."

The brigade commander said angrily: "Then call him over!"

"I've called." Ge Erdan said, "He said he didn't have time to answer the phone!"

The brigade commander was almost choked to death. Damn, Li Yunlong had no time to answer his phone call.

I didn't know that I thought he was the division commander or boss, but he was much more awesome than the commander of the column.

But after another change of thought, the brigade commander felt relieved and held the phone and said to the chief of staff: "Chief of Staff, it's okay. Li Yunlong, who dares to treat me like this, means that the situation is under his control."

"This kid is really reckless, but he still knows the priorities."

The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "But I still want to remind him that the 9th Brigade is rushing towards him."

The brigade commander nodded and said, "Erdan, right? You go and notify your regiment commander immediately, and say that the 9th Japanese Brigade has gone out to rush towards Fengxiang Ridge."

"Yes!" Ge Erdan responded and hung up the phone.

The brigade commander hung up the phone and frowned and said, "What kind of battle is this?"

The Chief of Staff was also confused and confused.

The brigade commander and chief of staff were really confused.

I can't understand at all.

...

The brigade commander didn't know what happened?

Yoshio Shinozuka was also confused.

Yoshio Shinozuka could not understand why the battlefield observation group was ambushed at Bellows Ridge, nor could he think of what happened to Yamamoto's agent team?

Why do they call repeatedly but have no answers?

Seeing Takuya Mizuhara shook his head again, Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned black in an instant.

At the same time, an ominous premonition emerged from his mind. He felt more and more that it seemed as if a pair of invisible black hands were manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Has the intelligence been leaked?

But it is impossible?

The entire combat plan was temporarily formulated by Yamamoto Kazuki.

Even at the 1st Army Headquarters, only ten people had the opportunity to contact this plan. Apart from Yamamoto Kazuki and him, Yoshio Shinozuka, there were only the Chief of Staff and a few Section Chiefs.

Yoshio Shinozuka would never believe that several section chiefs would leak information.

As for Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka, it is even more unlikely to disclose information.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to know this combat plan in advance.

Then the problem is that if the intelligence was not leaked in advance, it would be absolutely impossible for Yamamoto's agents to have an accident.

If nothing happened to Yamamoto's agent team, why can't they contact him all the time? Could it be that Yamamoto Ichiki is so arrogant that he dares to completely ignore his orders?

Yoshio Shinozuka thinks the possibility is not high.

So Shinozuka Yoshio was completely confused. What was going on?

Shibata Nobuichi said: "Commander, do you want to send aviation scouts to the near Chenjiayu for reconnaissance?"

"Not for now." Yoshio Shinozuka actually had a lucky mentality. If Yamamoto's agent team was silent on radio, then sending aviation scouts to reconnaissance at this time would be very likely to alarm the enemy. Instead, it would destroy the Yamamoto's agent team's plan and make their decapitation battle against the Eighth Route Army headquarters fail.

At this time, Tanaka Takaki said: "Commander, it doesn't matter whether something happened to Yamamoto's agent team. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the battlefield observation team."

He paused and said, "If something happened to the battlefield observation group, even if Yamamoto's decapitation battle succeeded, it would be meaningless. If there was no audience, what's the point of no matter how exciting the performance was?"

"Audience? Performance?" Yoshio Shinozuka murmured twice, and suddenly his face turned pale.

Will the intelligence have been leaked? The Eighth Route Army has really mastered the entire combat plan?

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain that something happened to Yamamoto’s agent team and the battlefield observation team at the same time!

If it was just an ambushed by a battlefield observation group, it would be nothing. This is actually very normal, because with the arrogant nature of Hattori Naoshi and those officers, it would be strange if nothing happened.

However, the observation group was ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. It was very suspicious!
