    The news that the Japanese airport was attacked soon reached Xia Yang.

    He was lying on a giant tree, wrapped in two layers of cotton clothes inside and outside.  Since the cold wave passed through the past two days, the temperature in Shanxi and Henan has begun to plummet.  Today's temperature has become lower than the previous two days, and has exceeded minus ten degrees.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the troops had prepared supplies and equipment for the winter in advance, Xia Yang and his troops would probably be trembling and huddled up just like those little Japanese troops.

    "Master, the Japs' troops are only fifteen miles away from here." Niu Shushi's voice came from under the tree.

    When Xia Yang heard this, he jumped down from the big tree, landed in front of Niu Shushi and said, "How many people are there?"

    Niu Shushi said: "There are more than 500 people in the vanguard, and there are more than 1,000 people behind. The total is more than 2,000 people. It should be the Japs' headquarters moving this way."

    Xia Yang looked at his watch. It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and the Japs' troops would probably enter their blocking position at noon.

    "Inform the troops to prepare for battle." Xia Yang said, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began to send orders to the troops participating in the blockade of the Japanese headquarters.

    "The cavalry regiment, immediately flank the blocking position and hide behind the mountains on both sides. When the Japanese army fully launches their attack, you can then rush out from the flanks." Xia Yang ordered Zheng Fei's cavalry regiment.

    Zheng Fei, who was originally on standby between the valley and the blocking position, heard the order and said loudly: "Master, don't worry, this time we must make sure that the little devil's headquarters will not come back."

    Hearing this, Xia Yang smiled and said: "You cavalry regiment, be careful. Don't act rashly before the Japanese army's frontal attack is fully launched."

    After conveying the order to the cavalry regiment, it was Bai Mingxuan's 189th regiment.  At this time, they were also hiding in the towering mountains on the flanks. They were only waiting for Xia Yang's order to launch a large-scale encirclement of the Japanese command headquarters that entered the encirclement.

    The soldiers on the blocking position and on the slopes on both sides were already ready to go.  They have been here for two days, digging enough fortifications, and also burying many mines that can hinder the Japanese army's advance.

    Just when Xia Yang's troops began to carry out large-scale movements and entered the predetermined area, the Japanese troops were marching on the mountain road fifteen miles away.

    Sitting on the horse, Nosuke Ohuchi, commander of the Japanese 74th Brigade, was looking at the overlapping mountains in the distance with a telescope.

    Because of the sudden drop in temperature in the past few days, the leaves on the mountains have gradually withered over the past few days.  On the ground, you can see stacks of fallen leaves everywhere, as if the entire Taihang Mountains have been covered with a withered yellow carpet.

    "Is the armored brigade still in the rear?" Ohnouchi asked the staff officer beside him, Tahobo Saburo.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Hearing this, Okawauchi couldn't help but sigh.

    Early this morning, he received an urgent call from Taiyuan, saying that the two Japanese aviation squadrons they used to support their operations in the direction of Jincheng had been attacked by the enemy at night.

    The entire airport has been completely paralyzed, and all fighter jets and bombers have been destroyed.  It will take at least more than a month before the airport can resume normal operations.

    As for the Yangmingpu Airport that was closer to them, it was rebuilt after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army. At this time, it was supporting the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi, and there was no way to provide them with effective air support.

    What¡¯s more, the total number of fighter jets and bombers at the airport there is only about half of the number of aircraft at the Jincheng airport, and its support capabilities are simply not on the same level.

    So now they have lost the support of air firepower.  As for the artillery units and armored vehicle brigade in the rear, although they were not attacked, because they were marching on mountain roads, they may have to wait until tomorrow to participate in supporting the valley operations.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I always feel that this series of enemy movements is a bit strange." Saburo Toobo said while sitting on his horse and following the troops.

    Ohnouchi glanced at him, and then said: "Tell me about it."

    Taibo Saburo said: "??I feel that the enemy may be playing a big game of chess, but because when the enemy makes moves, they all fall in different places, and there doesn't seem to be much connection, so this does not attract enough attention from us.  .  "

    Ohuchi Nosuke said: "What do you mean?"

    Saburo Tooba said: "The enemy's attack on the field airport in Jincheng, the Imperial Alliance Army's attack, the grain storage valley surrounding us, and even the attack on Fuping County, which is not far from here, all seem to be related.  It¡¯s just that the locations where the enemy attacked were too scattered and they used a lot of troops, so we inadvertently ignored them.¡±

    Okawachi Nosuke thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible that you mentioned it, but if the enemy wants to complete such a huge military operation, while attacking Fuping County, they can also dispatch troops to attack our troops in the Wutai Mountain area.  And containment. At the same time, combat personnel can be dispatched to suddenly attack our airport in Jincheng. How many people do you think the enemy needs to complete this series of actions? "

    Taibo Saburo did a rough calculation and then said: "At least about 20,000 people."

    "Then tell me, in the central Shanxi area, are there so many remaining troops of the guerrillas and the Shanxi-Sui Army in total? What's more, the regular troops of the national army participating in the battle are well-equipped and have strong combat capabilities.

    It is said that there were seven to eight thousand enemies who attacked the airport last night alone.  And overnight, the two reorganized brigades stationed around the airport were wiped out.  Our army lost two thousand men overnight.  "Okouchi Nosuke said.

    Saburo Tooba said: "I'm also very surprised, let alone how can someone have such a strong leadership ability and mobilize these seemingly unrelated troops at the same time? If you follow my idea, all these things must be there  One premise is that the enemy forces participating in this battle all have a unified commander.
