Yangquan County.

The brigade headquarters of the Japanese independent mixed 1st brigade.

Brigade leader Masaomi Yasuoka was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Masaomi Yasuoka rubbed his eyes, turned over and sat up, and asked angrily: "What's going on?"

The Japanese communications officer standing at the door said with a panic look on his face: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, it is not because of your humble position that you mean to disturb us, but there are actually great changes happening in the front."

"Squeak!——"

The door opened, and Masaomi Yasuoka walked out and asked, "What's the big change?"

Communications Staff Officer: "A total of 7 strongholds including Linjiaji, Shipen, and Xiaoyu near Niangziguan were attacked by the China Eighth Route Army."

"Nani?"

When An Gangzhengchen heard this, he suddenly lost all sleep: "What did you say? You said that a total of 7 strongholds such as Linjiaji, Shipen, and Xiaoyu near Niangziguan were attacked by the China Eighth Route Army?"

"Hiyi!"

The communications staff officer paused heavily.

Yasuoka Masaomi directly bypassed the opponent and strode to the war room.

As Yasuoka walked into the war room, he saw that several staff officers on duty were already very busy. Several telephones on the table rang rapidly, and the telegraph machine also kept ringing.

"Moses Moses! This is the brigade headquarters!"

Yasuoka Masaomi personally picked up a call. After listening to it, he was shocked and said: "Nani? I don't know if 7 strongholds near Niangziguan were attacked, but all a dozen strongholds were attacked? And there are

Three strongholds have been lost?"

"Hiyi!"

Yasuoka Masaomi's face suddenly darkened. Originally, he planned to ask the garrison at Niangziguan to rush for reinforcements, but more than a dozen surrounding strongholds were attacked at the same time, and there was no way to ask for help.

It's night again now. If we send troops rashly, the situation will only get worse if the opponent sets an ambush halfway.

As for the three strongholds that lost contact, no need to think about it, they must have fallen.

Yasuoka Masaomi gave a few instructions on the phone, ordering the garrison at Niangziguan to take more precautions, and waited until he investigated the situation clearly before making a decision, and then hung up the phone.

On the other side, Chief of Staff Jiro Koizumi, who arrived in the war room in advance, also hung up the phone. He came to Masaomi Yasuoka with a serious look on his face and reported: "Your Majesty, Brigade Commander, something is wrong! Not only the three people near Niangzi Pass are

Dozens of third-level strongholds around the second-level strongholds such as Pingping, Jucheng, Baijing, etc. were also attacked by the China Eighth Route Army!"

"Among them, several strongholds have lost contact."

"If nothing else, the phone lines should have been cut by the Eighth Route Army, and it is even possible that some of these strongholds have fallen!"

After a pause, Jiro Koizumi changed the topic and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Various circumstances indicate that this is likely to be a large-scale offensive organized by the Eighth Route Army!"

Masaomi Yasuoka has been in the army for many years and has experienced hundreds of battles. By analyzing these situations, he has smelled the atmosphere that a war is about to break out. He said with a gloomy face: "Koizumi-kun, it is not a possibility, but a certainty! This is definitely the case.

The Eighth Route Army carefully organized a large-scale offensive targeting the strongholds along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway!"

Koizumi Jiro asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, do you order the Imperial Army stationed at the secondary stronghold to go for reinforcements?"

Masaomi Yasuoka thought for a while and asked: "How many level three strongholds have been attacked so far?"

Koizumi Jiro: "Probably more than 50, but I guess it should be more than that."

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer hurried over again.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Chief of Staff!" The communications staff officer reported to the two men with a panicked look on his face: "I just received the latest news. Dozens of third-level strongholds in Pingding, Shouyang and other surrounding areas are also here.

We were fully attacked by the China Eighth Route Army!"

"Among them, Daliang, Yangjiazhuang, Shangzhuang, Shangzhuang, Caojiagou, Yexi and other strongholds that are close to Yangquan have all lost contact. The specific situation is currently unknown!"

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Nani?" Koizumi Jiro said with a look of disbelief: "So many strongholds were attacked again?"

"Hey Yi!" the general election staff paused again and said: "A total of 8 second-level strongholds from Shouyang to Niangziguan have all called, saying that all their peripheral third-level strongholds have been attacked.

And the attack time is basically around midnight!"

"Baga!" Koizumi Jiro cursed angrily, and then looked at the brigade commander Yasuoka Masaomi and asked what he meant.

Masaomi Yasuoka asked: "Chief of Staff, what do you think we should do?"

Koizumi Jiro pondered for a while and carefully analyzed: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the China Eighth Route Army's actions are so consistent at the same time, it is not difficult to see that this is definitely a premeditated action by them.

I speculate that the Eighth Route Army's premeditation must be more than this. If the imperial army in the secondary stronghold is allowed to go to the rescue, it will make the secondary stronghold empty of troops.

If at this time, the China Eighth Route Army sends several more powerful main forces to attack the secondary strongholds, the situation will only get worse.

Although the loss of these third-level strongholds will make the situation of the Zhengtai Railway very passive, it can at least ensure that the Zhengtai Railway can continue to pass.

But if those secondary strongholds are also attacked by the China Eighth Route Army, or even a few are lost, the situation will be really bad.

These strongholds are basically built at important locations such as bridges and tunnels. As long as any stronghold is lost, it will endanger the entire Zhengtai Railway line and cause the railway line to be directly broken!"

"Koizumi-kun, your analysis is good!" Yasuoka Masaomi nodded in agreement and ordered: "Immediately issue an order to all the second-level strongholds in the section from Niangziguan to Shouyang, asking them to move the garrison of the peripheral third-level strongholds

Pull them all back and stick to the secondary stronghold to ensure that everything is safe!"

"Notify our situation to the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army stationed in Jincheng. If nothing else happens, the third-level strongholds in the section from Jincheng to Shouyang must have been attacked by the China Eighth Route Army!"

"In addition, please report this situation to the Taiyuan headquarters and request the headquarters to provide us with tactical guidance!"

Masaomi Yasuoka's sense of smell was very keen. He had already foreseen that the Eighth Route Army was about to launch a large-scale offensive, and their target was definitely not just these peripheral third-level strongholds.

Second-level strongholds along the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway, and even first-level strongholds such as county towns and Niangziguan, may also become targets of the Eighth Route Army in this war.

The first thing to do at this time is to shrink your strength and stick to a few dozen large strongholds. Otherwise, if you hold on to the more than 120 third-level strongholds on the periphery, they will be easily defeated one by one.

And as long as you persist until daytime and can get tactical guidance from the headquarters and the aviation unit, it will become very easy whether it is to defend a large second-level stronghold or recover a fallen third-level stronghold!

In the final analysis, the Japanese army will face the current dilemma, that is, Japan's population base is too small and its military strength is insufficient...
