A look of realization slowly appeared on Huang Yu's face. He looked at the map and said thoughtfully: "Commander..."
"Deputy Commander..."
"I seem to understand a little bit..."
"Ningji Okamura always took the initiative to find our main force for a decisive battle when he raided our base areas before."
"This time he wants to do it the other way around..."
"Forcing us to go find them for a decisive battle."
Li Yunlong frowned and retorted: "I'm not stupid... I won't stay at the base, so why should I go to them for a decisive battle..."
"Neji Okamura wants to eat shit!"
Huang Yu shook his head and explained: "I don't know if I want to eat shit..."
"But this time we really have to take the initiative to find them for a decisive battle..."
"Otherwise, we will lose our base and the troops will lose room to turn. If we fight against the Japanese again, we will definitely lose."
Li Yunlong was confused again, stared at Huang Yu and asked directly: "You kid, please tell me clearly..."
"Why did I go to find a decisive battle with the Japanese..."
"Is it possible that there is some mystery behind the Japanese advancing ten kilometers to our base every day?"
Huang Yu shook his head and replied: "The Japanese can't advance ten kilometers every day..."
"It should be advancing ten kilometers towards our base every five or six days..."
"But the biggest threat to us is not these little devils, but the more than 100,000 young men and women who are led by the little devils in our base area..."
As he spoke, he picked up a pencil, connected the six strongholds that Chief of Staff Liu Sen had just marked, and continued.
"If these more than 100,000 young men dig deep trenches in our base area, connect the temporary camps that the Japanese army has just occupied, and then lay barbed wire fences around the trenches, what kind of dilemma do you think the base area will get into?"
"Hiss, hiss..."
Li Yunlong reacted suddenly, took a deep breath and said: "This situation is really difficult to break..."
"Push forward ten kilometers at a time, dig deep ditches, lay out barbed wire, and then continue to move forward..."
"If we don't fight back and let them advance, it only takes two or three months to shrink our base area several times..."
"If we fight back, the first thing we will face are those deep ditches and barbed wire fences..."
"And there are more than one..."
"After passing through a deep ditch, there is another deep ditch waiting for us..."
"The Japanese army will definitely use these defensive battles to consume a large amount of our army's strength, consume our army's war potential, and compress our army's living space..."
Kong Jie also realized the seriousness of the problem. He stared at the map and kept reviewing the Japanese army's mopping up plan in his mind, looking for possible ways to break the situation.
…………
In the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff hurriedly ran to the deputy commander-in-chief and reported solemnly.
"Boss..."
"Ningji Okamura took action against Kong Jie and the others again!"
"This is information sent out by insiders at great cost."
"Okamura Neji called this big sweep an iron wall siege!"
"The mopping up troops gradually moved forward, and at the same time arranged for a large number of young men to dig deep trenches in the occupied areas and lay out barbed wire fences to completely cut off the contact between the troops in the wing and the outside world..."
"By the way, the living space of the troops in the wing is compressed, forcing them to take the initiative to attack the Japanese mopping up troops..."
"The Japanese and puppet troops can wait for work, consume a large number of their troops through defensive battles, and achieve the ultimate goal of severely damaging the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong and even annihilating Kong Jie and others."
The deputy commander took the information and read it twice before putting it down. He sighed and said, "Ningji Okamura played this trick very hard!"
"They used to sweep our base area, but when they came up they wanted to fight with our main force."
"This time they did the opposite and forced us to go to them for a decisive battle. They were waiting for us to attack..."
"Between retreating and advancing, the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of Neji Okamura..."
"The timing of the attack was also chosen very well..."
"Kong Jie and the others have just completed their expansion, and each unit has added a large number of new recruits. It's a time of chaos!"
"The overall combat effectiveness is not as good as before the military expansion."
"Ningji Okamura is now sending troops into the Sixth Army Division...Many of their troops will have no combat effectiveness due to the high proportion of new recruits and will not be able to participate in the war."
"I can only watch helplessly as the Japanese and puppet troops storm into the base area..."
"Neiji Okamura is worthy of being the commander of the North China Front Army of the little devil. He is very calculating..."
"Hurry and forward this information to Kong Jie and ask them to immediately consider ways to break the situation..."
"We can't just sit around and be spectators..."
"Contact other troops operating around the base area in the wing..."
"Among the equipment and ammunition handed over by the Wing Center this time, they are the ones who benefited the most."
"Now that the Sixth Army Division is in trouble, they must take action to reduce the anti-mopping pressure on the Sixth Army Division."
"The capable troops immediately launched a counterattack against the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops, disrupting the security of the enemy's war zone and forcing Neji Gangmura to mobilize troops from the front line of the center of the wing for reinforcements."
"Troops without strength go to attack the Japanese and puppet army's supply lines."
"Perhaps if they eliminate one more Japanese and puppet army in the enemy battle zone, the Sixth Army Division of Wing Center will have one less Japanese and puppet army to face!"
…………
That afternoon, more than 100,000 young people were driven to the blockade to dig deep trenches and lay out barbed wire...
There is strength in numbers...
Before it got dark, a five-meter deep ditch was dug out.
All the excavated soil was piled near the occupied area and compacted with tools to build an earth wall next to the deep ditch.
After the construction was completed, the Japanese and puppet troops patrolled and guarded this earth wall.
Not only can you see further, but you can also condescendingly destroy all the Eighth Route Army troops who want to get closer to the earthen walls and deep trenches.
The other side of the ditch is covered with barbed wire, and all of it is barbed wire.
If any kid wants to destroy the ditch and earthen wall and tear a hole, these barbed wire fences will definitely slow down the Eighth Route Army's attack...
The slower the Eighth Route Army rushes, the longer it takes to be hit, and the greater the casualties...
"Weng buzz..."
Several planes suddenly appeared over the battlefield.
The commander of the Japanese North China Front, Okamura Neiji, was sitting on this plane and was checking the situation on the ground through the window.
The deputy chief of staff sat in front of him and introduced: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"The deep trench has been dug..."
"It will continue to deepen and widen in the next four days..."
"The excavated soil will be used to build an earth wall on the side close to the area occupied by the imperial army..."
"Preliminary estimate: the earth wall will be more than four meters high and five meters wide..."
"After a deep trench is attacked, our troops can quickly reinforce the battlefield through the earth wall and attack the enemy from a high position."
"The earthen wall is five to ten meters away from the ditch...and there are barbed wire fences on the other side of the ditch..."
"If the Eighth Route Army wants to destroy the barbed wire fence... it must first cross the barbed wire fence... and then cross the deep ditch..."
"Our troops can attack them throughout the entire process..."
"An infantry squadron can carry a regiment of the Eighth Route Army without any problem..."
"Even the Imperial Army could defeat the Eighth Route Army with the help of earth walls!"
