Anti-Japanese War: I am the warlord of Ping'an County! The whole army is German!

"Captain, Captain, I'm here, I'm here."

During wartime, signalmen are usually stationed near the highest-ranking officers.

So after hearing Yamashita Ichiro's voice, he immediately ran towards Yamashita Ichiro.

"Signalman, immediately report our situation to the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan."

As soon as the signalman arrived, Yamashita Ichiro grabbed him and roared with murderous intent on his face.

"Hey, Captain!"

The signalman immediately nodded heavily and replied.

Then, amidst the hail of bullets, he turned on the radio station he had been guarding and immediately started sending a message.

Immediately, radio waves spread across the night sky where the battle was fierce.

And when the signalman sent the message.

Amidst the roar of gunfire, Yamashita Ichiro addressed Tanaka Kenichi and ordered, "Order the remaining soldiers to prepare for a breakout immediately."

After hearing this, Tanaka Kenichi's face became solemn. He had just discovered that their retreat was blocked.

"Captain, we have at least a battalion of troops on our rear."

Yes, it’s a battalion.

When the shelling began, Zhou Weimin ordered Wang Dali's battalion to cut off the retreat of the brigade at the foot of the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Yamashita Ichiro quickly looked around.

They found that the terrain on both sides of the road where they were ambushed was very flat.

The hillside is not very high.

But the enemy had already seized all the commanding heights and their firepower was well arranged.

In an instant, his large group at the foot of the mountain was suppressed.

And the grenade launcher, mortar, and two Type 92 infantry guns he hastily built.

Just as it was set up and ready to counterattack, it was targeted by enemy artillery and blown into pieces.

It is conceivable that the enemy arrived at Wild Wolf Valley early and had prepared everything.

"Baga, how is this possible?"

"Could it be that there is a traitor in the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan?"

Yamashita Ichiro gritted his teeth and cursed.

Yamashita Ichiro was not wrong to be suspicious, after all, he had only received the order for more than two hours.

But the enemy arrived at Wild Wolf Valley early, arranged everything, and waited for his troops at the foot of the mountain.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!”

The shelling began again.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers in the Yamashita Brigade had begun to despair.

The retreat route is blocked and we cannot break out for the time being.

As soon as we organized an effective breakout, the shelling began.

......

Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.

"Beep, beep, tick-tick! Beep!"

In the Japanese communications room of the headquarters, the Japanese communications soldier in charge of the radio immediately heard the incoming call coming from the radio in front of him.

Immediately, the Japanese signalman put on earphones to record the radio signal of the incoming call.

Three minutes later.

After being deciphered, the complete telegram appeared in the hands of the Japanese staff in the communications room.

After reading the contents of the telegram, the Japanese staff officer's face changed drastically, and then he immediately walked out of the communications room.

“Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!!”

There was a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in."

After getting the answer.

The Japanese staff officer walked in with a serious expression.

"Report to the Commander, the 4th Brigade, 2nd Regiment, Yamashita Battalion, urgent message."

"The captain of the Mountain Brigade reports that we were ambushed in Wild Wolf Valley on the way to Ping'an County."

"The enemy has heavy artillery, Yamashita Battalion, requesting support."

The Japanese staff officer knew very well what this telegram meant. It meant that the Yamashita Battalion could no longer reach Ping'an County.

"Nani?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka was a little shocked!

Then he stood up, snatched the telegram from the Japanese staff officer's hand, and quickly read it.

But after reading it, Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a gloomy expression.

"Baga, are you sure which enemy group ambushed the group down the mountain?"

The Japanese staff officer shook his head.

It means that it has not yet been determined which enemy team ambushed the Yamashita Brigade.

"Baga, immediately send a telegram to the Nakamura Brigade to inquire about the situation in Ping'an County."

"Order the troops at the foot of the mountain to break out immediately."

"Order the Miyafuji Corps to immediately head to Ping'an County and tell Miyafuji that Ping'an County cannot be lost."

Seeing that the Japanese staff officer didn't know, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately gave the order.

"Hi!"

The Japanese staff officer nodded, then turned and left to send a telegram.

After the Japanese staff left.

Shinozuka Yoshio thought quietly.

As early as when Yuta Hiraki sent his farewell telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka had carefully studied the area near Ping'an County on the map.

At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka suspected that the enemy forces that ambushed the Yamashita Brigade were from Ping'an County.

Because according to the current situation and time, only the enemy forces in Ping'an County can launch an ambush on the brigade at the foot of the mountain in Wild Wolf Valley.

As for why Yoshio Shinozuka did not suspect the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army and other troops.

That's because Yoshio Shinozuka asked the intelligence department and found out that the Jinsui Army, the Eighth Route Army and other troops in northwestern Shanxi are currently not doing any activities.

This means that Yoshio Shinozuka's previous guess was wrong.

The puppet troops in Ping'an County did not surrender to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not participate in the battle that took place in Ping'an County.

Moreover, Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that he had underestimated the enemy forces in Ping'an County.

"Takekawa Shoichi, I asked you to investigate the situation of the puppet troops in Ping'an County. How is your investigation going?"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the Japanese soldier beside him and asked.

This devil is in charge of the headquarters' intelligence department and is also a staff officer of the headquarters.

"Commander, the matter has been thoroughly investigated."

"The puppet troops in Ping'an County do not belong to any of our puppet troops in Jin."

"The puppet army in Ping'an County is an independent organization, a security regiment."

"This guard regiment has more than 2,000 people."

"The leader is Zhou Weimin."

"Zhou Weimin is from Shanghai. He was born into a wealthy family. His parents died young..."

......

"A student of the tenth class of the Whampoa Military Academy, graduated with the highest honors in the school and was sent to study in Germany after graduation."

"After the war broke out, he returned to China secretly, spent all his family wealth, and was appointed a company commander in the Central Army."

"He participated in the Battle of Shanghai. After the defeat, he participated in the Battle of Nanjing. After Nanjing fell, he was separated from the main force of the Nationalist army."

"After returning to the army, the original troops had been completely disbanded, so they were reorganized into a ragtag army."

"Then he followed the troops into battle."

"Half a year ago, during a battle in Xuzhou, he surrendered to the Empire."

"After staying in Xuzhou for more than two months, I was transferred to Ping'an County in northwest Shanxi."

"Until now."

Upon hearing this, Takekawa Shoichi took out a report and began to read.

This report is the Japanese investigation of Zhou Weimin. It must be said that in just three hours, the Japanese had already investigated Zhou Weimin thoroughly.

This shows how powerful the Japanese intelligence department is.

After learning about Zhou Weimin's information, Yoshio Shinozuka began to think.

Judging from this information, there is nothing special about Zhou Weimin.

But it was this soldier, who was nothing special in Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes, who wiped out the Hiraki Battalion and ambushed the Yamashita Battalion!
