Taiyuan, the first Japanese army headquarters.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka put down his walkie-talkie, Tanaka said in confusion: "Commander, it is useless for Yamamoto's agent team to stay in Liao County. The infantry search team can be competent for the same task. Why must a special agent team that spends a lot of money to be responsible for? This is a waste of resources!"

"If the special agent team can be transferred back, we can take on the task of investigating where the main force of the 386th Brigade is. We don't have to wait passively, let alone guessing like we are now."

Yoshio Shinozuka was silent. He actually wanted to transfer the agents back.

But he also knew that Yamamoto Ichiki was extremely proud inside.

In Yamamoto Ichiki's eyes, the Eighth Route Army headquarters could barely become the hunting target of their special agent team, but the 386th Brigade did not even have the qualification to become the target.

Tanaka Takayoshi said: "Commander, you are too indulging in Yamamoto."

"Tanaka, don't say anything more." Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Compared with the 386th Brigade, the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue Bandit Area has a greater threat."

"So Yamamoto's choice is correct."

“I fully support this.”

"Hayi." Tanaka Takaki could only helplessly pause and continued, "So what should I do now? Xiang County has been lost, and the southward detachment of the 386th Brigade has headed straight for Changzhi!"

"The performance of the Northbound Detachment of the 386th Brigade was surprising."

"I beat Yu County for half a night, but I didn't take it down."

"You know, Yu County has only one gendarmerie squadron."

"So, I seriously suspect that the Northbound Detachment of the 386th Brigade was a partial division because they did not use artillery in the battle to attack Yu County, but just used infantry to charge."

"In contrast, the southward detachment of the 386th Brigade used artillery to attack Xiang County."

"As a result, the military police squadron guarding Xiang County was defeated in less than two hours."

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "This may also be the 386th Brigade's way of looking up."

"Starting the eye method?" Tanaka Takayoshi said, "What the commander means is that the Northbound Detachment of the 386th Brigade does not use artillery on purpose? It is just to induce us to make wrong judgments, right?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Shinozuka Yoshio said.

"What should I do?" Tanaka Takaki said with a frown, "The 386th Brigade went north and south to the two detachments, and it was still impossible to figure out which one was the main force and which one was the partial division?"

"The 37th Division cannot be divided."

"Did you really watch the 386th Brigade capture Changzhi?"

"The townships and mountainous areas around Changzhi were originally guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army."

"It is just because it is divided into multiple small blocks by roads and several major counties, and it is difficult to connect them together, so it has not become a substantial bandit zone."

"But if Changzhi and the surrounding counties are all lost, this area will immediately become a whole, and it may become a substantial bandit area. In this way, the Eighth Route Army's manpower, material resources and war mobilization capabilities will be unprecedentedly improved. This consequence will be too serious and not something we can bear!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's brows immediately frowned.

Nozawa Kio said: "Can you transfer two brigades from the 16th Brigade back to Changzhi?"

"It's useless." Tanaka Takaki shook his head and said, "If the South Detachment is the main force of the 386th Brigade, it would be useless to draw two infantry brigades from the 16th Brigade to defend Changzhi."

"The two brigades can only increase the 386th Brigade's record."

"But if the entire 16th Brigade is allowed to return to Changzhi, or the 36th Division is allowed to return to Lu'an, the storm of the Eighth Route Army's Taiyue Bandit Area will inevitably be seriously affected."

"The A combat plan is likely to fail."

The war room immediately fell silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly asked, "Where are the people from the special high school class? Are you here?"

The director of the special high school department, Eight-tailed Guizo, immediately strode in and said, "General!"

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and asked, "Your Special High School has been deeply engaged in Shanxi for so many years, and the intelligence tentacles should have penetrated into all aspects. Haven't you discovered anything?"

"I found it but found it." The Eight-tailed Turtle nodded, then shook her head and said, "But it means that there is no discovery."

"Haga!" Shinozuka Yoshio said furiously, "What does this mean? Have you discovered it or not?"

"Hayi." The Eight-tailed Turtle cuckolded and said, "We found that there were many prisoners of war in the northbound detachment of the 386th Brigade who were forced to change into the Eighth Route Army uniforms and pretend to be the Eighth Route Army."

"Nani? Are there prisoners of war in the Imperial Army pretending to be the Eighth Route Army?" Nozawa Kio said, "So, only a small part of the Northbound Detachment of the 386th Brigade is the real Eighth Route Army. It seems that it is a partial division!"

"But." Eight-tailed Turtle Zozo said again, "The Eighth Route Army also changed into the Royal Army uniforms and pretended to be prisoners of war in the Imperial Army."

"Nani?" Nozawa Kio said in surprise, "While letting the prisoners of war in the Imperial Army pretend to be the Eighth Route Army, and while also letting the Eighth Route Army pretend to be the prisoners of war in the Imperial Army, what does the Eighth Route Army mean?"

Yatai Kamezo continued: "In fact, the South Detachment of the 386th Brigade also had the same situation."

"Damn it, it's such a difficult opponent!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army has long thought that the intelligence tentacles of your Special High School course have penetrated into every corner of the security zone, so we do this on purpose. In this way, we can't tell us how many Eighth Route Army went north and how many Imperial Association prisoners of war went south?"

"Hayi." Eight-tailed Turtle Zang said with a wry smile, "That's why I said it means I'm not finding anything."

"Okay, you go." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand impatiently and signaled the Eight-tailed Turtle to hide and leave.

Watching the eight-tailed Turtle's figure leave, Tanaka Takaki snorted, "The people in the special high school class are just a bunch of waste, and they can't handle such small things."

Yoshio Shinozuka glared at Takayoshi Tanaka.

Tanaka Takaki shut up a little embarrassedly.

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes fell on the map again and said, "Order that the infantry brigades under the 9th Brigade must be vigilant enough while advancing steadily."

"Beware of the main force of the 386th Brigade turning around and attacking behind him."

"Another order, Tunliu, Shangdang, eldest son, military police squadrons of Huguan counties, and various garrison battalions of the Imperial Army, except for a military police squad and a company of the Imperial Army stationed in various counties, the rest of the troops were all reduced to Changzhi and Lu'an.

"The surrounding counties can be ignored, but the two cities of Changzhi and Lu'an must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

"In addition, the 37th Division can go east from Xinyuan County to Xixiang County. Whether it is going south or north, which unit is the main force of the 386th Brigade. Let's cut off their retreat first!"

"Hare!" Tanaka Takayoshi Shigeshige's death.
