"I think so too." Okamura Ningji nodded and said, "After all, Northwest Shanxi is too barren, and it has never been the focus of operation of the First Army stationed in Shanxi."
Miyano said: "In this case, it is very necessary to order the 26th Division, which is going south from Datong, to turn west from Xinkou to Anhua City, so as to cut off the westward route of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in advance!"
"Even if we don't send the entire division, we must at least send an infantry regiment!"
"But the problem is," Neiji Okamura frowned, "This is just our guess."
"That's right." Miyano Michiichi said approvingly, "The behavior of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really unpredictable, and it can even be said to be illogical!"
"If nothing else, let's talk about the battle to encircle and annihilate the 9th Brigade."
"At this time, who would have thought that they would dare to take the initiative?"
"So now, we really dare not say that they will definitely go to Northwest Shanxi."
Speaking of this meal, Miyano Michiichi said again: "So, it is better to send more aviation troops after dawn to see what the 386 brigade is doing, and then decide on the next step."
As soon as the voice fell, a communications staff officer hurried in.
"General!" The communication staff paused and said, "The Yamamoto special team sent an urgent call. They have recovered the airport."
"Really?" Neiji Okamura suddenly regained his energy. In the past two days, he had heard too much bad news, and now he finally had some good news.
"Hayi!" the communication staff paused again, "Moreover, the facilities at Xincheng Airport are basically intact. The 86th Fighter Squadron and 16 Zero fighters stationed at the airport are intact."
"Attack Aircraft No. 36 Squadron lost three attack aircraft."
"In addition, aviation kerosene and aviation bombs at the airport were also lost."
"Baga!" The excitement on Okamura Neiji's face faded like a tide in an instant.
Without aviation kerosene and aerial bombs, it is useless to recover the airport and take back the plane, and it is impossible to take off and land the plane to attack the Eighth Route Army that is close at hand.
But this is good news after all.
Immediately Okamura Ningji went on to say: "Call back the Yamamoto Special Forces and order them to guard the Xincheng Airport! In addition, order the 26th Division to send the 26th Cavalry Regiment to rush to the airport."
In order to keep the airport, it is worth taking a risk with a cavalry regiment.
"Hayi!" The communication staff officer paused, turned around and left in a hurry.
At this time, the brigade commander had already returned to the Drum Tower.
"What, the Xincheng Airport has fallen?" The brigade commander frowned upon receiving the report of the airport falling, which caught him off guard.
The 9th Brigade has been wiped out by them.
The 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division are still on the way.
The 8th Brigade, 26th Division and 110th Division have just entered Shanxi!
So the question is, which army of the devils will attack Taiyuan Xincheng Airport?
Liu Darong, who came to report to the brigade commander, said again: "Brigade commander, the Spike team planted explosives in the airport hangar, arsenal, and control tower."
"And Staff Officer Wang specifically told us."
"If the situation is not right, detonate the explosives quickly."
"But the third platoon of guards did not detonate the explosives."
"I don't know exactly what happened."
The brigade commander frowned more and more: "The 3rd platoon of guards didn't even rush out?"
"No." Liu Darong said, "More than 40 brothers in one platoon all died."
"Damn it!" the brigade commander said angrily, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the small army of devils who attacked the headquarters of the Yangcun Independent Regiment earlier."
"These little devils came so fast!"
"It's them?" There was hatred in Liu Darong's eyes.
When this small army of devils attacked Yangcun, Liu Darong was the commander of the guard company.
And he was still injured in the battle. His company had more than 100 people. When he returned from injury, there were only a dozen old faces left, and all others were sacrificed.
So this small army of devils has a bloody feud with their guard company.
At that moment, Liu Darong gritted his teeth and said, "Brigade Commander, I beg you to send another army to take over the arsenal and steel plant, and let our company go to retake the airport and kill these devils!"
"No, your company is no match for this group of devils." The brigade commander flatly refused, "Besides, the three main regiments are now outside, and we are not strong enough to take the initiative to attack."
"Just guard the arsenal and the steel factory honestly."
"Don't let these little devils take advantage of the loophole again!"
"Yes!" Liu Darong agreed, and left sullenly.
At this moment, several gunshots suddenly sounded in the street outside.
The brigade commander suddenly became alert, and immediately drew his pistol and rushed out the door.
"Guard, where to shoot?" The brigade commander snapped, "What's going on?"
After a while, an officer from the security department hurried over to report: "Brigade Commander, there are two dogs making trouble in the city! Just now, we shot and killed two peasants from the border area!"
"Damn it!" the brigade commander said angrily, "What are you doing in the security department? Find out these bastards quickly, and shoot them all!"
"Yes!" The security officer agreed, and left with a dark face.
The brigade commander's face sank, the situation was more serious than expected.
Chapter 318 Unexpectedly
Xiluo Town, the defense position of the Independence Regiment.
The artillery mirror is mounted on a mountain ridge.
Wang Yan is helping the artillery determine the shooting elements through the artillery mirror.
Wang Yan said: "The distance is 5000 meters, the pitch angle is minus 015 scales, the left and right angles are 3100 scales, and the first two calibrations!"
Standing beside him, Yu Chengzhu immediately turned his head and shouted: "The distance is 5000 meters, the pitch angle is negative 015 scale, the left and right angle is 3100 scale, and the first and second areas are calibrated!"
Not far away, the artillery located on the reverse slope of the mountain began to calibrate and shoot at Zhuyuan.
"Zhuzi, come and try." Wang Yan raised his head and waved at Yu Chengzhu.
