Chapter 145: Northwest Shanxi is shaken
The large-scale deployment of the 4th Brigade did not attract anyone's attention.
Since the Japanese were marching late at night, no one noticed the actions of the 4th Brigade.
The next morning.
The sky was just beginning to turn pale.
After a night's march, the Japanese 4th Brigade advanced more than 30 kilometers.
The Japanese army's massive force immediately attracted the attention of armed forces from all sides.
After learning the news about the Japanese army, the various armed forces were almost scared to death.
The 4th Brigade appeared quietly outside their defense zone, and it was like the sky was falling.
Many armed forces began to prepare for war urgently and transfer important supplies.
Just when the various armed forces thought that the Japanese were going to launch an attack, the 4th Brigade ignored them and just left.
This left the various armed forces scratching their heads.
Little devil, what are you trying to do?
Judging from the scale and posture of the Japanese army's march, they are definitely going to fight a big battle.
The various armed forces began to speculate which unlucky guy had angered the Japanese.
For a time, telegrams were flying all over the northwest Shanxi region.
All the major forces were asking each other which unit was attacked by the Japanese.
According to intelligence, the Japanese Fourth Brigade mobilized its entire army this time, with more than 7000 Japanese soldiers and a large number of artillery.
This is extremely shocking. There is no force in the northwest of Shanxi that can stop the attack of a brigade of the Japanese devils.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The chief looked at the map and asked, "Chief of Staff, the direction of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese is Ping'an County. What are our main forces around Ping'an County?"
The Chief of Staff thought for a moment.
"Reporting to the commander, there are independent regiments and the New 1st Regiment operating around Ping'an County."
"Could it be that the Japanese Fourth Brigade is coming for our Eighth Route Army?"
The chief of staff shook his head after hearing this.
"Commander, this time the 4th Brigade is dispatching its entire army and carrying a large amount of artillery.
If they wanted to deal with the Independent Regiment or the New 1st Regiment, they would not need to mobilize so many troops.
I don’t think the 358th Brigade’s target is our Eighth Route Army. I think it’s possible that it’s targeting the th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.”
After hearing the chief of staff's analysis, the leader nodded in agreement.
"I think so too. The only strong fighting force around Ping'an County is the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The Fourth Brigade of the Japanese is likely to be heading for the 358th Regiment."
After saying that, the chief turned to look at the young officer next to him.
"Xiao Liu, send a message to the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment, asking them to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese. If they find anything wrong, evacuate immediately."
"Yes, Chief."
at the same time.
The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was in chaos at this time.
Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei anxiously.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, according to the intelligence sent by the scouts ahead, the 4th Brigade of the Japanese is heading towards Ping'an County."
"Commander, I think the 4th Brigade of the Japanese is coming for our 358th Regiment. In the vicinity of Ping'an County, besides our 358th Regiment, there are only the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the New st Regiment,............."
After hearing Fang Ligong's analysis, Chu Yunfei nodded slightly.
"Ligong, your analysis is correct. Apart from our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the only other target of the Japanese is the Eighth Route Army. No matter what, we must be prepared for any eventuality.
Order all troops to prepare for battle, and I will immediately request support from the theater commander."
"Yes, Commander. I will go down and arrange defenses immediately."
After saying that, Fang Ligong turned around and left the command center.
Chu Yunfei stood in the command center and looked at the large map.
"What on earth do you want to do, little devil?"
"Are they really coming for our 358th Regiment?"
Chu Yunfei immediately walked quickly towards the communications room.
"Communicator, send a telegram to the theater headquarters immediately. The Japanese 4th Brigade is moving towards Ping'an County. They are likely preparing to attack the 358th Regiment. Request support."
After hearing Chu Yunfei's instructions, the communicator quickly sent a telegram to the Second War Zone.
at the same time.
The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment received an urgent telegram from headquarters.
The communicator quickly ran to the command center to report to Li Yunfei.
"Report to the head of the group, there is an urgent message from the headquarters."
"read."
"The 4th Brigade of the Japanese is moving towards Ping'an County. Please ask the Independent Regiment to pay close attention to the Japanese's movements.
If you discover that the Japanese are about to attack the independent regiment, you must immediately relocate your base and not engage in direct combat with the Japanese Fourth Brigade in order to preserve your manpower. "
After hearing this, Li Yunlong cursed:
"Fuck it, why did the Japanese Fourth Brigade come to Ping'an County? If my independent regiment was not strong enough, I would have to fight them."
At this time, Zhao Gang on the side interrupted.
"Captain, the enemy's Fourth Brigade is coming with great force this time. We should temporarily avoid the front line and preserve our manpower."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded and shouted to the outside of the door.
"Messenger, come in."
The messenger ran in immediately.
"Immediately send an order to all battalions to pay close attention to the actions of the devils and be ready to retreat at any time."
"Yes, Captain."
The messenger turned and left the command center and went down to convey the message.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Li Yunlong's mind.
Could it be that the Japanese discovered the county brigade and wanted to attack it?
That's certainly the case.
Apart from the Ping'an County Battalion, there was no other unit in Ping'an County that was worthy of the entire Fourth Brigade of the Japanese.
No, we have to quickly notify Lao Gao to be prepared and avoid being ambushed by the Japanese.
.............
Outside the interrogation room of Lijiazhuang County Brigade.
Gundam stood outside the interrogation room and listened to the painful screams of the Japanese soldiers coming from inside, but he was not moved at all.
When facing the Japanese devils, he would not feel any sympathy for them at all, even if it meant pulling out their tendons and bones.
Gundam wished he could send all the Japanese devils to the 18th level of hell.
Not a moment later.
The screaming in the interrogation room stopped.
The door opened and a middle-aged man walked out.
This middle-aged man was not from the Eighth Route Army, but an interrogation expert invited by Gaoda from somewhere else. It was said that the middle-aged man was proficient in the 18 tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
Due to the discipline requirements of the Eighth Route Army, he was not allowed to carry out cruel interrogations on Japanese spies, so Gaoda had to resort to this desperate measure.
The middle-aged man said, "Captain, these little devils are too stubborn. I have been engaged in interrogation for so many years, and I have never seen such stubborn people."
Gundam cursed inwardly, "Damn you little devils, you are so tight-lipped. I'm going to pry your mouths open today."
He stared at the middle-aged man viciously.
"I heard that you are proficient in the eighteen tortures of the Qing Dynasty. Use them all on me. For the little devil, you must use the most cruel one on him. I don't believe him not to tell you."
