Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Previously, the soldiers of the special operations brigade had always been troubled by how to sneak into the Japanese camp.

The Japanese military barracks in Shijiazhuang are somewhat special. Since Shijiazhuang is the Japanese military's material distribution base and also the training place for new recruits after their arrival, all Japanese troops are concentrated in this barracks before being assigned.

At the same time, the Japanese army did not build barracks outside the city, but directly built them in the entire south of the city, expelling all the residents originally in the south of the city (this is made up, don’t check).

At this time, there was also a brigade of Japanese reserve troops staying in this barracks at night.

Outside the barracks, in order to prevent a sneak attack, the Japanese army occupied all the external buildings and then flattened them, revealing a large open view, making it difficult for the special operations team soldiers to approach.

At the same time, the soil underneath is mostly hard, and it is difficult to dig a deep tunnel to reach it.

Originally, the special operations brigade had given up, but when a soldier was checking the secret passage where they had been hiding before, he suddenly found an echo from the next door. He immediately dug it open, and then followed the direction of the tunnel, and finally found the exit in an abandoned stable in the Japanese barracks.

So he immediately reported the news to Zhou Weiguo.

After learning about this situation, Zhou Weiguo hurried to observe the situation in person.

After quietly lurking and investigating at night, he grasped the specific situation of the Japanese troops in the barracks and immediately ordered someone to bring the news to Huang Hanjia outside the city.

Huang Hanjia was also extremely surprised after receiving the news from Zhou Weiguo. He did not expect that at the critical moment, his junior brother would actually help him find an idea to eliminate most of the Japanese troops.

Therefore, after discussing with Liu Ming and others, Huang Hanjia decided to launch a feint attack today and tomorrow to support Zhou Weiguo and others, and let the special operations team create chaos in the city in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow.

If everything goes well, the troops might be able to have lunch in the city at noon the day after tomorrow.

At this time, inside the city headquarters.

The commander of the 40th Brigade, Yoshio Kamitsuki, and the garrison commander of Shijiazhuang, Yoshio Ogasawara, sat at the table in silence, looking at each other in confusion.

When Shangyue Liangfu received the order from Kenji Doihara, he immediately realized that he might have fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army. Later, when he immediately called for two battalions of locust troops to reinforce Jingxing, it was too late.

The signalmen were unable to contact the two battalions leaving the city.

When only a few people were left in the squad he had sent to search for the two battalions, Shangyue Liangfu immediately realized that the situation was serious. With the destruction of the two battalions, there was only one battalion of locust soldiers left in the entire 40th Brigade.

Before Shangyue Liangfu could recover from his shock, the locust army came to report that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops had been spotted outside the city and had now surrounded Shijiazhuang.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army also captured Zhengding and the southeast directions, completely blocking themselves in the city.

Now, even if the locust army retreats, there is nowhere to go. As for the west, Shangyue Liangfu knows very well whose defense zone is in the west. If he leads the remaining locust army and the security brigade to evacuate towards Yangquan, the locust army will probably be destroyed before reaching Yangquan.

Then Kamitsuki Yoshio immediately reported the situation in Shijiazhuang to the commander of the First Army, Okabe Naosaburo, and the commander of the North China Front Army, Sugiyama Hajime.

But up to now, he still has not received any reply telegrams from the First Army and the North China Front Army regarding Shijiazhuang. Looking at the Eighth Route Army outside the city, Shangyue Liangfu showed a worried look on his face. If things go wrong, he is afraid that he will have to die here for Tianhuang today.
