In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, the commander could no longer see the spirit of the troops when they first started attacking in the morning. Instead, he looked anxious and paced back and forth in the combat room with his hands on his back. From time to time, he looked up at the telecommunications room not far away. His eyes were filled with anxiety, and he was obviously waiting for something.

Under his leadership, the atmosphere in the command center became more and more depressing. Every staff officer was careful to do what he had at hand, for fear that an accident would anger the commander and cause trouble.

This tense atmosphere started two hours ago.

The main force that attacked the front was not waiting for the interspersed troops. The agreed time between the two sides was up again. The main force that could not find the interspersed troops could only send a telegram to ask the military headquarters to contact the interspersed troops, or the main force directly launched a general attack on the Eighth Route Army before waiting for the interspersed troops...

The military headquarters responded very quickly and contacted the interspersed troops as soon as possible. As a result, the three interspersed troops seemed to be missing, and no matter how the military headquarters called, there was no news.

The sixth sense of the soldier made the commander realize that something might have happened to the interspersed troops.

But before there was no definite news and evidence, the commander still hoped that nothing happened to them.

As time passed by little by little, the hope that the troops would still be safe became increasingly slim, and the anxious expression on the face of the commander also became increasingly strong.

"Report to the commander, Captain Nakamura sent a telegram asking for instructions: They want to change their original combat plan, and use their own strength to attack the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops without waiting for the interspersed troops!" A communications staff officer ran to the commander to report.

"No!" The commander refused without hesitation.

"The life and death of the interspersed troops are uncertain, which shows that there are still many secrets hidden in the base of the Independent Regiment that we don't know. If something happens to the interspersed troops, the Independent Regiment assembles heavy troops to set up a pocket array in front of the Nakamura Brigade. Isn't the troops going to attack now? "

"Let them wait and find out the latest situation of the interspersed troops before we can decide our next action plan."

"Call back to Nakamura Brigade: The troops first hold their troops and then send scouts to find the interspers with the military headquarters. They want to see people and bodies when they die. By the way, they find out why they did not intersperse on time!"

After rejecting the request of three offensive troops to independently attack the Eighth Route Army, the commander was once again in a tormented waiting, and the wait lasted for more than two hours.

The Chief of Staff hurriedly ran towards him, his face very ugly. He stood in front of the commander and hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to answer: "Sir, something happened!"

The commander had already made the worst plan in his heart, but when he really faced this result, he felt very uncomfortable.

He stared at the chief of staff and asked with a painful look on his face: "Has the interspersed troops really been killed by the Eighth Route Army?"

The Chief of Staff nodded first, then shook his head.

After seeing his expression, the commander was stunned and asked anxiously: "What are your reactions? Why can't I understand? Tell me clearly who happened to me and what happened?"

The Chief of Staff took a deep breath, and then responded to the commander's gaze: "Sir, you must be mentally prepared. Bei Yi just got the news that all three interlude troops sent by the military headquarters were eliminated by the Eighth Route Army."

"But the independent regiment did not meet this result. I immediately organized troops to reinforce the front battlefield and cooperated with the frontal blocking troops to attack our attacking troops forward and backward."

"As a result, all the attacking troops of the three routes were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the losses were particularly large. The attacking troops of the whole route had lost contact in the battle. No matter how we called, they did not respond."

"Judged from the previous telegrams between the military headquarters and them, this attacking force was attacked by the Eighth Route Army half an hour ago, with great casualties. The contact between the military headquarters and them was interrupted."

"In order to reduce the losses, Bei Zhi made a decision without authorization just now, and ordered the two attacking troops who could contact him to quickly evacuate the battle, retreat for a kilometer, temporarily escape from contact with the Eighth Route Army, and wait until the military headquarters figures out the latest situation on the battlefield before issuing the latest order to them!"

"Nani..." After hearing this bad news, the commander was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.

This bad news is too unexpected.

The commander could accept the news that the three interspersed troops had been destroyed, and he was mentally prepared.

Although they have more than a thousand people and are all elite troops with strong combat power, they are not the main force of this big sweep, but only three partial divisions attacking the enemy unexpectedly on the battlefield.

Without them, the main force can still attack the independent regiment, but there are fewer opportunities to take advantage of them.

If the main force has an accident, it will be a disaster.

The military headquarters wanted to dismantle the independent regiment through a sweep and not give them any chance to escape. Several sweeping troops formed by the main force were indispensable.

It is precisely because of their existence that the military headquarters established a tight blockade line on the front of the independent regiment base. Then they advanced step by step, compressing the living space of the independent regiment bit by bit, and finally gathering them and annihilated them.

Any accident in the sweeping force along the way may lead to a gap in the blockade line.

The thousand-mile dike collapsed in the ant hole, and the independent regiment would likely break out of the encirclement through this gap in the battle and finally escape from the sky, causing the large-scale sweep that the military finally organized and returned in vain again.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the commander reacted so much after hearing the bad news that the main force also lost contact.

He held the table with both hands, forced himself to calm down, stared at the Chief of Staff and asked seriously: "The troops left on the front line of the Independent Regiment have only three main battalions. In theory, there is no ability to swallow our sweeping troops all the way? Could it be that the radio station carried by the sweeping troops was blown up, so our connection was suddenly interrupted."

The chief of staff lowered his head and replied: "Sir, I don't think anything happened to them, but this possibility is too low."

"The two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army were still in contact with the report: they were attacked by at least two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army. The lost contact had sent the same telegram to the military headquarters before. They were suddenly attacked by the two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army was also equipped with a large number of mortars and mountain cannons, with particularly strong firepower. Once the two sides fought, the attacking troops suffered heavy losses."

"The situation reported to us by the three-way sweeping troops is definitely true, which means that the main force left by the Independent Regiment on the front line is not the three main battalions we judged before. They have left at least six main battalions on the front line."

A word awakens the dreamer.

After listening to the Chief of Staff's analysis, the commander fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, a sudden enlightenment suddenly flashed on his heavy face and shouted in dismay.

"Bageyalu, we were cheated!"

"We used to make this mistake in the hands of the National Salvation Army. Now our opponents have been replaced by independent groups. I didn't expect that we may have somersaults on the same issue."

The Chief of Staff could not understand at first that the main force left by the Independent Regiment on the front line clearly had only three battalions, but suddenly it turned into six main battalions, and there were three main battalions directly behind the three-way sweeping troops.

As soon as the commander finished speaking, he understood and suddenly realized, shouted: "Sir, what do you mean is: We have been hit by the enemy's plan to replace the pillar again."

"The troops arranged by the Independent Regiment in the mountains are three main battalions, not the three new battalions we see!"

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff suddenly thought of another question: "Wait a minute, sir!"

"If the Eighth Route Army blocked our interspersed troops by three main battalions, then the independent regiment returned to the rescue team to help them were the three newly formed camps. They would not be afraid that the new camps would not be able to stop the attack of the National Rescue Army..."

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff suddenly slapped himself and continued, "No, I'm confused about myself."

"We pretended to be the National Savior Army, which was active behind the Independent Regiment, and it was not the real National Savior Army. The Independent Regiment must have noticed something, and then dared to replace the veterans with new recruits and return to the back of it."

"Since the Independent Regiment already knows that the National Salvation Army that was active behind them is fake, then it is dangerous for us to pretend to be the Imperial Army of the National Salvation Army. They must be targeted by the Independent Regiment and must retreat immediately, otherwise the strength of the Independent Regiment will definitely be able to eat them easily."

"The Imperial Army of the two battalions will be gone, and if the weapons and ammunition they equipped are seized by the independent regiment, they will be killed."

"In order to make them more like the independent regiment, we specially strengthened them eight mortars and eight heavy machine guns, with more than 300 rifles and nearly forty light machine guns."

"If all these equipment is in the hands of the Independent Regiment, they can immediately pull up the two reinforcement battalions."

Hearing this, the commander had the intention to kill people.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bageyalu, we have not only underestimated the intelligence power and reconnaissance capabilities of the Independent Regiment, but also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army."

"I originally thought they were all Chinese, and they would be more similar when playing the National Salvation Army, and then they ignored their combat effectiveness."

"If the National Salvation Army really attacks the Independent Regiment and with the combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army, it only takes a few hours to break through the Independent Regiment's blocking position and break into their base."

"We pretended to be the Imperial Army of the National Salvation Army and could not even handle several guerrillas of the independent regiments. We wandered in the front row of the independent regiment's blocking positions for a whole day without any progress. The fools could see that there was a problem with their identities. As the maker and executor of the entire sweep plan, we didn't see it. It was so stupid."

"The entire army was destroyed. The National Salvation Army pretended to be a member of the Imperial Army not only failed to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army, but also helped us share some pressure, but also became the culprit for the Independent Regiment to replace the pillars to deal with us. It was a slap in the face."

"Chief of Staff, your decision just now is right. This battle cannot be greater, at least it cannot be fought anymore."

"We must figure out the true strength of the Independent Regiment before taking action, otherwise we will fight against the Independent Regiment with our eyes closed."

"No matter how strong the offensive troops are, they will be killed completely."
