Although food supplies were normal during this period, this was only for the Eighth Route Army.

According to Yoshio Shinozuka's investigation, the People's Army did not seem to be short of food, so this time they suddenly attacked Dongjiang County.

The biggest possibility is that it is to deceive others, and the real purpose is the many senior Japanese officers who are about to arrive in Anjiang Town.

Of course, just to be sure, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the troops to go to Dongjiang County and Anjiang Town at the same time.

In other words, no matter what Su Yu's idea is, Shinozuka Yoshio will not let it succeed.

Regardless of whether you really want the food in Dongjiang County, it is impossible for him to just give it to the People's Army.

Su Yu didn't know about this sudden situation. He had already led two brigades to ambush near Anjiang Town.

They just have to wait for the arrival of those little Japanese lieutenant generals, and then they can take action.

At this time, Monk Wei came to Su Yu to report.

"Division commander, the 1st and 4th brigades called and said that they have started fighting, and based on the reports from the 2nd and 5th brigades."

"People from those strongholds have already gone to support Dongjiang County, and they must be on their way now."

"It won't be long before these reinforcements will meet the men from the First and Fourth Brigades."

"Well, very good. Tell the brothers to get ready. Those little Japs and senior officials are coming soon. Remember, it's best to capture them alive. I'm still useful."

Su Yu nodded, and then gave some instructions. Just kidding, this little lieutenant general still has great uses.

But he can't kill him. If he keeps this little Japanese lieutenant general, he will be able to provide him with great help in the future.

"Don't worry, Commander, I have followed your orders a long time ago. I will definitely save the lives of those little devils."

Finally, with everyone waiting anxiously, the time came to two o'clock, and Anjiang Town ushered in a new batch of little devils.

These people were the targets of Su Yu's trip. At this time, they did not know that they and others had become the prey of others.

When they arrived at Anjiang Town, a young Japanese colonel came to the leader and whispered.

"General Yamashita, we have arrived at Anjiang Town. Do you want to rest for a while and then move forward?"

"Well, let's rest for a while and let someone set up the radio. I want to talk to Yoshio Shinozuka."

"Hayi!"

This person was none other than Yamashita Taro, the one with the highest position among the little devils on this trip, and the target that Su Yu wanted to capture alive.

Just when they and others arrived at Anjiang Town and had not had time to rest, they heard the sound of gunfire coming from outside.

"No, General Yamashita, there is a group of people's army attacking our place outside."

"People's Army?"

Taro Yamashita is no stranger to this army. After all, his purpose of coming to northwest Shanxi this time is to deal with this People's Army.

Unexpectedly, the two parties actually met under such circumstances, which made Yamashita Taro feel a little strange.

"How many people are there across the way?"

After just a few breaths, Yamashita Taro took the lead in asking.

Now that both sides have met, he wants to take a good look at whether the People's Army is as powerful as others said.

...........

"Report to General Yamashita that the People's Army outside is much larger than our troops. There are at least 5,000 people, and they are also equipped with large-caliber howitzers."

"The most important thing is that they still have armored vehicles. Under the attack of these armored vehicles, our outer positions were directly defeated."

"Armored vehicle? Are you sure?"

After hearing the situation reported by his soldiers, Yamashita Taro seemed very surprised.

Just kidding, you have to know that he specializes in intelligence. It can be said that he has found out everything that can be found in the People's Army.

The People's Army has never been found to have armored vehicles, but now our own soldiers actually say that the People's Army troops outside have this big killer weapon.

This is difficult to deal with. If he didn't take the People's Army seriously before, now he feels it's a bit tricky.

"Yes, General, I read that right. They are armored vehicles. There are about three of them."

"Although the number is small, the troops we are accompanying this time do not carry heavy firepower at all, so there is nothing we can do about this armored vehicle."

"Coupled with the fact that the People's Army has such powerful artillery, I feel like our place won't last long."

"You should immediately send a message to General Shinozuka to inform them of the situation here and that they need to send reinforcements immediately."

"Hayi!"

By this time, Yamashita Taro no longer looked down upon the People's Army. After all, the combat effectiveness of an army with armored vehicles must not be underestimated.

At least the Eighth Route Army, which had been fighting against them for many years, did not have armored vehicles, so he decisively asked his soldiers to ask Yoshio Shinozuka for help.

At this time, on the other side, as soon as Taro Yamashita's order was issued, Yoshio Shinozuka received the news.

Jun Miyano came to Yoshio Shinozuka with the information and said with a serious expression.

"General, as you guessed, the ultimate target of the People's Army is General Yamashita and the others."

"The liaison officer has just received the telegram from General Yamashita. General Yamashita and others have just arrived at Anjiang Town, and a large number of people's troops have appeared behind them."

"And these People's Army also have armored vehicles. From the intelligence point of view, the situation with General Yamashita is very critical."

"As expected, the People's Army's ambitions are really big. Where have our reinforcements arrived?"

After listening to Miyano Jun's report, Yoshio Shinozuka looked very ugly. He never expected that the People's Army had armored vehicles.

This completely broke his plan. Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka was planning to use this to almost inflict a heavy blow to the People's Army.

But now it seems that, let alone inflicting heavy losses on the People's Army, they would be lucky if they could save Taro Yamashita and others.

"Report to General, since you sent these reinforcements in advance, they are not far away from General Yamashita."

"If we move forward at full speed, we can reach General Yamashita in half an hour at most."

"In this case, you send electricity to those soldiers and ask them to reinforce General Yamashita at all costs and arrive as soon as possible."

"Hayi!"

Now Yoshio Shinozuka only hopes that Yamashita Taro's side can hold on for a while longer. The main reason is that the sudden armored vehicles of the People's Army disrupted his deployment.

In fact, he had long suspected that the ultimate target of the People's Army was Taro Yamashita and others, so he asked surrounding reinforcements to take action in advance.

I originally thought of cooperating with Taro Yamashita's troops inside and outside to inflict a heavy blow on the People's Army, but who would have thought that the People's Army still has such a big killer weapon as armored vehicles.
