Yamamoto's special agent team ambushed at three different Yellow River crossings and intercepted several groups of suspicious people.

But they never got the coalition flag they were looking for.

A few days later, Kazuki Yamamoto received the exact news that the regiment flag had been transported to the headquarters of the Second Theater Commander.

Yamamoto Kazuki had no choice but to give up this mission.

After returning in vain, as soon as Kazuki Yamamoto arrived in Taiyuan, he came to Yoshio Shinozuka to plead guilty.

After Yoshio Shinozuka learned what happened, he said helplessly: "It's already like this, and it's useless to hold people accountable."

"Besides, you've done your best, go down and rest."

"Hai!"

Yamamoto Kazuki responded, without saying anything more, and without the shame to say anything, he cautiously withdrew.

"Baga~!"

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed angrily and punched the table hard.

Another defeat made Yoshio Shinozuka very angry.

At this moment, a Japanese officer suddenly walked in quickly and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, I just received a telegram from the Yamazaki Brigade."

"Yamazaki Brigade?"

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly.

The Japanese officer continued: "They reported that there was a major harvest in the direction of Xiantian."

When he heard the words "big harvest", Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly lit up.

Shinozuka Yoshio quickly stood up and came to the map. The Japanese officer pointed at the map and said: "The Yamazaki Brigade is currently here, and this place is called Yitiantian."

"吆西~!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly, as if he had guessed something.

The Japanese officer continued: "The Yamazaki Brigade accidentally discovered this place during a sweep."

"After preliminary judgment, this should be the location of the enemy's important organs, and preliminary judgment shows that its main force should be stationed in the nearby area."

"The Yamazaki Battalion has only one brigade and its troops are relatively weak. Captain Yamazaki Jihei, please give me some tactical guidance, Commander."

Yoshio Shinozuka quickly ordered: "Immediately pass the order and order the 4th Independent Brigade, the 9th Independent Composite Brigade, the 16th Independent Composite Brigade and other units to assemble immediately and wait for the next instruction."

"Order all the Imperial Army and Imperial Association Army units in central and southeastern Shanxi to enter a state of combat readiness."

"Order the Army Aviation Corps at airports in Taiyuan, Yangquan, Shannan and other places to enter a state of first-level combat readiness and await combat orders at any time."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer responded quickly.

Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Immediately call back Yamazaki Jihei and tell them that we will send troops to support them as soon as possible. I now want more detailed information and ask them to report to me as soon as possible."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer responded respectfully again and turned around to convey the order.

To say that Yamazaki Brigade discovered Yixiantian, it was purely an accident.

Originally they were just chasing an Eighth Route Army local force.

Yamazaki Jihei, an old Japanese soldier, was similar to most Japanese soldiers at that time. He was short, bow-legged, and quite strong.

This old Japs, whose mind is filled with the Bushido spirit of Japs, is a samurai who is always ready to show up for their bullshit Emperor.

A guy who doesn't even take his own dog's life seriously will naturally not take other people's lives seriously.

He led the Yamazaki Battalion to pursue the local Eighth Route Army troops, but never caught up.

In fact, any Eighth Route Army unit would have gotten rid of them long ago if a golden cicada escaped from its shell.

But these little devils still foolishly chased all the way forward, and the people along the way suffered.

Yamazaki Jihei, an old Japanese devil, was quite cruel. He burned, killed and looted along the way, committing all kinds of evil, as if he were in an uninhabited country.

Since he never caught up, the old devil became increasingly anxious and irritable.

The discovery of Yixiantian was purely accidental.

Originally, the Yamazaki Brigade was resting in the mountain forest. Several Japanese soldiers fetching water suddenly came to report that they had discovered an extremely narrow valley in front of them, which was also known as a line of sky.

The most important thing is that traces of a large number of teams passing by were found on the ground.

Obviously, there must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army stationed inside.

After Yamazaki Jihei received the news, he was overjoyed and quickly went to check it out in person.

A Thin Line of Sky, as expected, lives up to its name.

There are towering peaks on both sides, with only a narrow gap in the middle to pass through. Looking up from below, you can only see a sliver of sky.

A Japanese officer advised: "Your Excellency, Captain, the terrain here is dangerous. If you enter rashly, you may be ambushed."

"Hmph~!"

Yamazaki Jihei snorted coldly and said: "They want to eat our Yamazaki brigade, but they don't have such good teeth."

"Fight in here~! I want to see how many evil forces are hidden in here."

So Yamazaki Jihei led the little devils directly to the front line of the sky, which is the gateway to the hinterland of the base.

The terrain here is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Eighth Route Army stationed a company here to guard the safety of the base area.

But when the Yamazaki Brigade suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Eighth Route Army company commander who was guarding this place was so frightened that he ran away.

When he ran away, all the soldiers below also withdrew.

Therefore, what was originally easy to defend but difficult to attack, which could even be said to be a thin line of sky that could be blocked by one man and blocked by ten thousand men, was easily broken by the Yamazaki Battalion.

This victory further fueled the arrogance of the Yamazaki Brigade.

But after the little devil passed the thin line of sky, his eyes suddenly opened up. Sure enough, there was a whole other world.

And soon, the little devil discovered that there were indeed many Eighth Route Army troops stationed here.

And those stationed here are not ordinary Eighth Route Army troops.

Many are logistics agencies, including the Shuiyaozi Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, which is also nearby.

After Yamazaki Jihei discovered this situation, he was naturally overjoyed.

While commanding the troops to attack, he reported the situation to Yoshio Shinozuka.

That's why the above scene happened.

The Yamazaki brigade was just lucky this time, and they bumped into this place all of a sudden.

The news was quickly conveyed to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and caused an uproar.

The deputy commander slapped the table and cursed loudly: "Go~! Catch that company commander who ran away from the battle and kill him. You son of a bitch. He has disgraced the face of our Eighth Route Army."

The deputy chief of staff said quickly: "Boss, calm down, I have ordered the Military Justice Department to execute him."

"Judging from the current situation, the enemy does not know the location of our military factory. They are completely blind this time."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have just sent one brigade over."

The deputy commander said angrily: "A mere brigade dares to run wild in the hinterland of our base."

"Get rid of this son of a bitch Yamazaki Brigade."
Chapter completed!
