Bright sword: the rise from the escrow quilt factory

Chapter 148 101 Heights
If there are no accidents, after the sweeping operation is over, the commander of North China Neiji Okamura will be very satisfied with the record of the First Army.

This is definitely a very good signal for the First Army, which was shrouded in defeat before.

They will get better resources and the right to prioritize the supply of troops.

"It's even possible for me to continue to be promoted and become an army general!" Yoshio Shinozuka thought to himself.

"If I work harder and completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in Northwest Shanxi, it is not impossible to become a marshal of the empire in the future."

Marshal Shinozuka.

How nice to hear a title.

Yoshio Shinozuka was dreaming of being a marshal, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

But the next telegram made Yoshio Shinozuka's face change suddenly.

Because the weather was late, the sky suddenly fell heavy snow again, which caused the aircraft of the Army Aviation Regiment to be unable to fly normally, and had no choice but to return to the airport.

The army on the ground was also blocked by the weather because of the heavy wind and snow, and failed to catch up with the retreating Eighth Route Army in time.

And the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi finally found an opportunity, got rid of the enemies behind, and successfully hid in the Taihang Mountains.

"Come here!" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

He would never allow that group of Tubalus to escape alive, he knew the vitality of these Tubalus too well.

If they are not completely defeated, it will not be long before they will grow up again like mushrooms after rain, forming a strong team.

The terrain in the Taihang Mountains is complicated, and there are so many various hills. Once they hide in it, it will be very difficult to catch them.

Shinozuka Yoshio just finished speaking.

A Japanese soldier walked into the office.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what are your orders!" the Japanese soldier paused.

"Immediately dispatch the 36th Division to march in the direction where the Chinese Army disappeared. When the wind and snow stop tomorrow, immediately send the warriors of the 36th Division into the mountains to search for traces of the Tuba Road!" Yoshio Shinozuka sternly said.

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Immediately issue an order to the Army Aviation Regiment, once the wind and snow weakens.

The Army Aviation Regiment must immediately carry out air patrols along the direction where the Tuba Road disappeared, and cooperate with the army below to find the location of the Tuba Road! "

"Hayi! Your Excellency, General!" The Japanese soldier paused and ran down immediately.

Shinozuka Yoshio's face was gloomy. This large-scale siege failed to completely wipe out those gangsters, and he always felt sullen in his heart.

The Taihang Mountains stretch for more than a hundred miles, and it is more than enough to hide a few tens of thousands of soil and eight roads, especially now that the heavy snowfall has made their search operations more difficult.

But Shinozuka Yoshio had nothing to do except wait for Xue to stop depressed.

If the planes of the 36th Division and the Army Aviation Regiment are forced to fight in an unfamiliar environment in such extreme weather, it is very likely to cause serious consequences.

This may even lead to the failure of this sweeping operation.

Yoshio Shinozuka still vividly remembers their failure to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's 'command post' last time. The two brigades confessed there together, which caused a lot of shock to Yoshio Shinozuka.

and so.

This time, Yoshio Shinozuka was unwilling to make the same mistake again no matter what.

There is a powerful army on the map of Northwest Shanxi, but there is still no news of that army.

This had to make Shinozuka Yoshio be careful.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly realized a problem. Since the raid started, no news about that unit has ever come back.

was thinking.

The phone on Yoshio Shinozuka's desk rang suddenly.

The call is connected.

There was a hurried voice from the microphone.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we followed your order and approached the 'command post' of the Eighth Route Army, but we found nothing..."

The sound of explosions could be vaguely heard on the other end of the phone, mixed with wailing sounds.

"What do you mean you didn't find anything?" Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and asked, "What's going on with you!"

"Hayi! Reporting back to Your Excellency Commander, we have arrived at the Eighth Route Army command post according to the location you said, but..."

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated to speak.

"Speak! What's going on! As an imperial soldier! What do you look like when you speak awkwardly!" Shinozuka Yoshio growled.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Reporting to Your Excellency General, we found nothing! There is nothing there, there are no traces, only an empty ground, and there are not even traces of the blast!"

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while and then said: "And they seem to know that we are coming back. They have set up a large minefield, and the imperial army died a lot..."

Shinozuka Yoshio was too lazy to listen to what he would say next.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio was full of question marks, what is disappearance?

How could a huge base disappear without a trace!

There is no trace of blasting, and a base has been transferred?

How did those damned Tubalu do it!
As for the matter of running to the wrong coordinates, Yoshio Shinozuka might believe it if there were no minefields.

But the troops he sent to the 'command post' were ambushed by landmines, enough to prove that the coordinates were correct.

The fact is that the building of the Eighth Route Army somehow disappeared.

"Follow me on this matter! I never believe that a building like a fortress can disappear out of thin air!" Shinozuka Yoshio shouted into the microphone.

"Hayi! Your Excellency, General!" Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's roar, the voice on the other end of the phone dared not show any disobedience.

Shinozuka Yoshio sat on the chair irritably, but unfortunately he might have thought about how Li Yunlong did this in his life.

……

at this time.

Li Yunlong and the others ran all the way. Fortunately, they didn't hit the devil soldiers and entered the Taihang Mountains very smoothly.

They are on their way to Heights 101.

In addition to Li Yunlong's guard regiment, the rest of the 129th Division also have their own highlands that need to be stationed.

In this way, the headquarters will not find the location of each unit because of the hasty retreat of the troops.

When they start to rest and reorganize their troops and restore contact with each other, it will be more convenient to find them.

The 101 highland where Li Yunlong needs to be stationed is next to a certain mountain road entering Taihang Mountain.

In addition to a mountain road, there is a meandering river at the foot of the mountain, but because of the freezing weather, the river has already been covered with a thick layer of ice.

In addition to his 101 highland, the 103 and 104 two highlands are located next to the 101 highland.

The three highlands are like an iron triangle, located beside the mountain road. If the Japanese army wants to enter the mountains, they will inevitably have to walk across these three highlands.

After more than an hour's trek, they finally boarded the 101 Heights.
