Seeing Chiba being so obedient and obedient, all the Japanese officers in the room felt a huge sense of satisfaction.

'Women are always just the appendages of men!'

'Serving a good man is their biggest priority!'

Many Japanese officers thought sarcastically in their hearts.

"Major Chiba!"

Ushijima Minoru spoke unhurriedly, "I heard that your special high school class has been paying attention to Koto and his troops for a long time. You should have some knowledge of the situation of Gao Ping's defenders. Let's talk about it."

The lieutenant general is already a very senior officer in the imperial army. Chiba replied respectfully:

"Back to Lieutenant General, according to the intelligence we currently have, the 1st Regiment of Jiangdong's Independent Brigade is stationed at Gaoping. The commander of the regiment is named Zhang Shengqing. He followed Jiangdong all the way from the Songhu battlefield."

"Garrisoned in Lingchuan near Gaoping is the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, headed by He Dingyuan!"

"Intelligence shows that these two regiments are pure German weapons regiments, with excellent weapons and equipment, and high combat literacy of their officers and soldiers. They are Jiangdong's two trump cards!"

Although Ushijima Minoru and other generals looked down on women, they still had a very strict attitude towards war. At this moment, they all kept the information Chiba described in their hearts.

The combat staff followed Chiba's description and marked the deployment of the independent brigade troops on the map.

After Chiba finished speaking, Ushijima Minoru looked at the map and thought deeply.

"According to Jiangdong's consistent combat style, this person often makes an egg against a stone." His Majesty the Lieutenant General said thoughtfully:

"Therefore, I think Jiangdong will not obediently give up the territory in his hands. He will mobilize all his strength to stop the imperial army near Gaoping."

"That's okay, let him have a taste of the artillery fire of our 20th Division, so that he won't have to flee without a fight, which will be a nuisance in the future!"

The Lieutenant General looked solemnly at Major General Takahashi Tagaji, the commander of the 40th Brigade, who hurriedly took a step forward.

"Takahashi-kun, my headquarters is located in Ancheng, Lu, and you will be in charge of the frontline war!"

"Hey!" Major General Takahashi Taga bowed and accepted the order.

The Lieutenant General pointed at the map and said:

"The 79th Infantry Regiment goes out to the party and goes straight to Gaoping along the road. If there is an enemy on the road, the army will resist and be wiped out on the spot!"

"The 80th Infantry Regiment came out, and the rear party turned eastward and fought along the road toward Lingchuan. If the large forces in Jiangdong defended Gaoping, the 80th Regiment turned again and inserted Gaoping from the east.

Reach behind and cut off Jiangdong’s possible escape route to the south.”

“Hiyi!!!”

Your Majesty the Lieutenant General spoke again,

"I emphasize again that this battle is both a battle to annihilate the independent brigade and a solemn battle."

"After all the troops leave the city, they must strictly implement the commander's three-guang policy. I want the land of Shanxi and South to turn into a scorched earth, and no resistance will be able to breed!"

The officers smiled ferociously. With this order, they could do whatever they wanted after leaving the city.

"Kill them all, burn them all, rob them all!"

"What a good policy this is!"

.

Ushijima Minoru stood up, his short and fat body exuding the aura of a battle-hardened general,

"Now I order the battle between Jin and Nansu to officially begin!"

A group of Japanese officers walked out of the combat command room in high spirits and rushed to their respective units.

They believe that this solemn battle will be the same as dozens or hundreds of battles in the past.

The imperial army will still win the final victory.

At the same time that Ushijima issued the order, the Japanese commanders in various places in Shanxi, eastern and northwest Shanxi also issued orders to attack.

On December 15, the 27th year of the Republic of China, war broke out throughout the Shanxi occupied area.

The Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, the guerrillas, and all our resistance forces behind enemy lines began to deploy troops and generals in preparation for long-term counter-mopping operations.

.

Vast Japanese troops walked out from Lu and An, running towards their respective combat directions with murderous intent.

Following the operation of the 20th Division this time was a puppet army division, so the total strength of the Japanese army was nearly 15,000.

The 15,000-strong team was extremely powerful, with armored vehicles and trucks in an endless stream.

There seemed to be an earth-yellow giant python squirming on the long road. Any obstruction in its path was bulldozed, and countless villages were set on fire.

While the momentum on the ground was huge, the air was not alone either. Several Japanese reconnaissance planes were flying leisurely over the khaki-colored army.

They were like flies sniffing around for traces of the Independence Brigade in the sky. As soon as they found something, these flies would pounce on them hungry.

.

"Captain, the little devil is serious this time!"

On an inconspicuous little dirt dump outside Lu'an City, Zhao Erniu, who was fully disguised, said in shock.

It was also the first time for Chen Zhengyue to see such a huge army. The shock in his heart was no less than that of Zhao Erniu.

Watching the Japanese army's formation split into two directions and leave, Chen Zhengyue whispered:

"The Japs are coming with force. We must report their situation to the brigade commander so that our troops can prepare in advance."

Seeing the well-equipped Japs, Chen Zhengyue felt very worried.

"clear!"

After observing the situation clearly, the two quietly retreated from the hill.

On the way from Lu'an to Gaoping, the members of the first and second squadrons of the Hunter Squadron, like their two captains, were all hiding within easy reach of the Japanese brigade. No move by the Japanese troops could escape them.

's eyes.

Through the eyes of the Hunter Squadron, Jiang Dong was able to clearly grasp the movements of the Japanese army.

Although the power of more than 10,000 Japs was terrifying, Jiangdong strategically regarded them as paper tigers and remained undaunted.

Tactically, he was cautious and prepared one clever trick after another for these little devils.

The First Regiment and the Second Regiment have been operating in this mountainous area for nearly three months, and the soldiers are familiar with every plant and tree in the mountain.
