Kitazawa Brigade, most likely because of radio silence.
Special forces, mostly radio silent when performing combat missions.
Therefore, the temporary loss of contact between the Fujimoto brigade and the Kitazawa brigade cannot explain any problems.
However, as time went by, until ten o'clock in the morning, the Fujimoto Brigade and the Kitazawa Brigade had not been contacted. Miyano Michikazu also realized that the possibility of a miracle was very small.
There is a high probability that something has happened to the Fujimoto and Kitazawa teams.
This made Michio Miyano puzzled a lot, what link went wrong?
Miyano Michiichi reviewed the entire plan, but still did not find any problems.
Shigeo Kitazawa and Tsuneo Arai instigated the Eighth Route Army's inside line to surrender?This is absolutely impossible!
Not to mention Shigeo Kitazawa, Tsuneo Arai is an old man from the military police system, and he has extremely rich anti-espionage experience. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to escape his screening whether it is a real surrender or a fake surrender.
So the infighting at the top of the independent regiment is fake?This is even more impossible.
Because according to the reconnaissance report of the Beize brigade, the chaos of the independent regiment was by no means fake. The main force of the independent regiment who went out to Qingyun Town and Dagu Town even put a cordon on Zhaojiayu.
After thinking about it, Miyano Michi only thought of a possibility.
That is, the senior management of the independent regiment already knew that their traffic officer had been instigated, and then used this traffic officer to sing a bitter trick. This bitter trick not only deceived the grassroots officers and soldiers of the independent regiment, but also hid the truth The traffic officer loaded the Fujimoto and Kitazawa teams in at once.
But how is it possible?The traffic personnel of the independent regiment were detained for a very short period of time.
It is impossible for the high-level members of the independent regiment to know about this, even if they are gods!
Besides, even if there is a problem with this traffic officer, it takes time to screen it, right?
Before the final result was identified, did the senior management of the independent group take him down?Logic is completely inconsistent!
Miyano Michiichi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought, the stagnation in his chest had nowhere to vent, and the decorations in the office suffered.
When Kiyoshi Kamekawa opened the door and walked into Miyano Michiichi's office, he saw fragments of broken porcelain ornaments everywhere on the floor, including a valuable Jun Kiln bamboo hat bowl.
"Division commander." Kikawa Kiyoton said first.
"Aviation scouts have already flown to Dagu Town and Zhaojiayu for reconnaissance."
"Oh really?" Miyano Michiichi pretended to be calm and said, "How did it turn out?"
Gui Chuanqingdao: "The regiment headquarters compound of the Zhaojiayu Independence Regiment has obvious signs of battle, half of the courtyard was destroyed by the war, and the Eighth Route Army built a large graveyard at the entrance of the village for mass burials."
In an instant, Miyano Michiichi felt his eyes go dark.
It's over!As expected, the Kitazawa Brigade is finished!
"Division commander?!" Gui Chuanqing said with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Miyano Michiichi forced himself to calm down.
Although the destruction of the Kitazawa Brigade was not a trivial matter, His Excellency the General and the Commander will not necessarily dismiss him because of this, and things may not turn around.
Immediately Miyano Michiichi asked again: "Where is the Fujimoto brigade?"
"The Fujimoto Brigade is also finished." Kiyoshi Kamekawa said in a deep voice.
"Aviation scouts also found traces of battles in the Eighth Route Army camp outside Dagu Town, and there were also several large graves on the mass graves outside the town."
"If nothing else,"
"There should be imperial soldiers buried inside."
Now Miyano Michiichi could no longer hold his own.
He fell straight down on the big board chair.
"Division Commander." Kamekawa Kiyoshi asked again, "Do you want to report it?"
Miyano Michiichi sighed and said, "Let's report it truthfully."
"Hai." Gui Chuanqing paused slightly, turned around and went out.
Watching Kamekawa Kiyoshi leave, Miyano Michiichi looked lonely.
……
Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.
The plaster cast on Yoshio Iwamatsu's right leg has been removed, and now he is only on a splint and can walk with a cane.
Walking into the war room with a cane, Yoshio Iwamatsu asked, "Hanagu-kun, why did I hear the roar of the Zero fighter engine just now? Is there any combat operation by the aviation unit?"
"Your Excellency, Commander." Hua Guzheng paused slightly.
All the combat staff officers standing next to him also nodded in unison.
Yan Songyi waved his hand, and said again: "What's going on?"
"There is no combat operation." Hua Guzheng said, "Just at the request of the Second Guards Division, a Zero combat reconnaissance plane was sent to Fuliang Mountain for reconnaissance."
"Second Guard Division?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"Is the Second Guards Division going to take combat action against the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"
"No way?" Hua Guzheng said, "Not to mention that the two infantry regiments of the Second Guards Division are still training, and even the combat supplies have not been replenished in place. At this time, there is no condition for launching an attack at all."
Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned and said, "Has the Zero combat reconnaissance plane that was dispatched returned?"
"Not yet." Hua Guzheng shook his head, then said again, "But we can get in touch."
Compared with the previous Type [-] Nakajima combat reconnaissance aircraft, the Type Zero combat reconnaissance aircraft has made the biggest modification, which is to install an onboard wireless station, which can realize instant communication with the ground radio station.
Yoshio Yanmatsu said: "Then contact me immediately and ask what's going on?"
I don't know why, but Yoshio Iwamatsu always felt uneasy.
"Hai!" Hua Guzheng paused slightly, and when he was about to contact the reconnaissance plane,
Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, hurried in and reported, "Your Excellency, Commander, the Second Guards Division has an urgent call!"
"Give it to me." Hua Gu was receiving the telegram, just glanced at it, and his face collapsed, as ugly as it could be.
"What?" Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned, "What happened?"
Hua Guzheng said with a dark face: "The Second Guards Division organized an offensive operation without permission, dispatched the Kitazawa Brigade and two infantry brigades to launch a surprise attack on the Independent Regiment at night."
"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu's heart skipped a beat, "A sudden attack on the Independence Regiment?"
"Hayi." Huagu Zhengwei paused and said again, "The final result..."
After a pause, he continued: "The Beize Battalion collectively attacked. One of the two infantry brigades attacked collectively, and the other returned in vain. This raid ended in a disastrous defeat!"
"Hachi!" Yoshio Iwamatsu said angrily, "What is this idiot Miyano Michiichi doing?"
"It's not like he doesn't know how dangerous the Independent Regiment is. Not to mention how cunning Li Yunlong and Wang Ye are. Who gave him the courage to attack Fuliang Mountain with two infantry brigades and Beize brigade?"
"Isn't this courting death? Is this idiot out of his mind?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu was instantly outraged, his old face turned green with anger.
Hanaya also felt that Miyano Michiichi's operation was confusing, so he could only keep silent.
"I need an explanation." Yoshio Iwamatsu snapped, "Let Miyano Michiichi give me an explanation immediately."
As the division head of the Second Guards Division, Miyano Michiichi did not have the right to initiate combat operations, but the use of troops above the brigade level to initiate combat operations must be reported to the headquarters. This is the rule.
Michiichi Miyano ignored the regulations and did not report to the headquarters before launching the combat operation, but he suffered such a big loss, which is an extra crime.
"Let him explain to me."
"I want to listen to his explanation!"
……
Anhua, the regiment headquarters of the Second Guards Division.
Kiyoshi Kamekawa walked into Miyano Michiichi's office again, and said with a pause, "Commander, the Kono Brigade has returned, and there is also an imperial soldier from the Fujimoto Brigade who has escaped."
"Oh?" Miyano Michiichi said with a change of expression, "Call Kono-kun and that imperial soldier here."
"Hayi!" Kiyoshi Kamekawa left the door after a pause, and walked in with a major officer and a disheveled corporal leader after a while.
"Teacher commander!"
The major and the corporal nodded at the same time.
Michio Miyano cast his eyes on the Shao Zuo, and said, "Kono-kun, you speak first."
"Hayi." Shao Zuo paused slightly and said again, "Last night at about eight o'clock, our brigade arrived at the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold by truck, and then got out of the car and marched on foot."
"Around ten o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the outskirts of Qingyun Town."
"Using the cover of night, our brigade successfully sneaked into the outskirts of Baogu."
"When we arrived, the camp of the Independence Regiment was brightly lit and the troops were gathering."
"Because of the gathering, it is easy for us to see clearly that the Eighth Route Army in Qingyun Town has about 1000 troops, including more than 100 cavalry."
"Then the cavalry left first."
"Just as the infantry was preparing to move out, the situation changed."
"After the arrival of a cavalry messenger, the infantry in formation quickly disbanded and went back to camp to sleep."
"But the cavalry who left before did not return. It was this that made me suspicious, so I only asked the second squadron to send a small team to conduct a tentative attack."
"It turned out that the entire camp was empty."
"Huh? The camp is actually empty?" Miyano Michiichi said awe-inspiringly, "Kono-kun, didn't you just say that the Eighth Route Army that lined up went back to the camp to sleep after they were disbanded?"
"Yes." Shao Zuo nodded, "but the fact is that nearly a thousand Eighth Route Army disappeared inexplicably, and then a large number of Eighth Route Army appeared around us."
"True way!" Kikawa Kiyoshi said, "There must be a way!"
Miyano Michiichi frowned and said, "Have you searched the camp?"
"I searched, but found nothing." Major said.
"Because after our infantry squad entered the camp, the Eighth Route Army detonated the mines in the camp. After the explosion, the entire camp became unrecognizable, and it was completely useless to search."
"Baga!" Miyano Michiichi said with a dark face, "Damn Balu."
Shao Zuo said again: "Master, there is one more exaggerated matter."
"Oh? Something more exaggerated?" Miyano said, "What is it?"
Shao Zuo said: "We saw through the tricks of the Eighth Route Army, and the surprise attack turned into a frontal attack, which was easily defeated by us. After defeating the Eighth Route Army, I also sent an infantry squadron into Qingyun Town to search, trying to force the Chinese people in the town to act The guide of the imperial army, find these escaped Eighth Route Army."
"That's how it should be." Kamekawa Kiyoshi asked, "And then?"
Shao Zuo said: "Then I found out that the whole town is empty."
"Nani?" Kiyoshi Kamekawa asked in amazement, "Is the whole town empty?"
Miyano Michiichi was also dumbfounded and said, "Is there no one in Qingyun Town?"
"Yes, there's no one there." The major said, "It's like a dead town!"
Miyano Michiichi and Kamekawa Kiyoshi looked at each other, only then did they realize that things were not that simple.
"Wait." Miyano Michiichi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Kamekawa-kun, did Heyuan Gendarmerie Captain Hirata Ichiro report that the Eighth Route Army in Fuliang Mountain, Jiugong Mountain, and Crouching Tiger Mountain are all digging? typical?"
"It seems to be happening." Kiyoya Kamekawa thought of it all at once, and immediately rummaged through the file cabinet.
After a while, I found a written letter from the filing cabinet. It turned out that half a year ago, Ichiro Hirata had reported to the division headquarters that the Eighth Route Army was digging a tunnel, but they did not pay attention to it.
Miyano Michiichi originally thought it was just a few escape routes.
But now it seems that things may not be that simple.
How deep is the tunnel that can make all the people in a town disappear?
Judging from this posture, the Eighth Route Army intends to use tunnels as weapons?
Immediately, Miyano Michiichi turned his gaze to the corporal again and asked, "Now tell me."
"Hayi." The corporal leader paused and said, "Our brigade encountered the same situation, but the main force of our brigade all rushed into the Eighth Route Army's camp from the very beginning."
"Then the camp of the Eighth Route Army exploded."
"It killed and wounded half of us on the spot."
"Then the Eighth Route Army appeared on the periphery like ghosts."
