Ishii Haraichi's question was very modest, but in fact Yamamoto Kazuki did not consider how the Ishii United Army attacked Ushikou Village from the beginning.
His eyes were initially focused on the map line between West Village and Zhangjiazhuang.
In his mind, he had already sketched out how he would lead the special agent team to take advantage of the Ishii regiment's massive attack to quickly cross the mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiacun, attack the independent regiment's headquarters in one fell swoop, take away the independent regiment's headquarters, and eliminate the independent regiment. The situation of Chang Kong Jie.
As for Ishii Haraichi’s question, Yamamoto answered directly:
"I think Mr. Ishii already has a good idea of how the Ishii Regiment will deploy its troops to attack Niukou Village.
What I was responsible for was to take the lead in destroying the regiment headquarters headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment before Ishii-kun's team attacked Niukou Village.
Taking advantage of the paralysis of the independent regiment's command, Ishii-kun will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if he attacks again. "
Ishiihara smiled and said: "Senior, I think I understand what you mean. This time the attack of our Ishii Regiment will be carried out with great fanfare, attracting all the attention of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and indirectly covering the special agent team led by the senior. beheading operation.”
"In order to achieve this goal, I think that both the West Village and Zhangjiazhuang routes cannot be let go this time."
"I am going to divide the troops into two groups and march at the same time to present an oppressive force while advancing towards the base area of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."
"At that time, if the Eighth Route Army wants to prevent the two villages of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang and the villagers from suffering from the war, they will definitely find a way to engage our army outside the two villages, or use the two villages as defense. .”
"Once the battle starts at this time, the Eighth Route Army will focus all its attention on the two routes of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. Niukou Village is their base camp because it is surrounded by mountains on the back and has the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment guarding it on both sides. , surrounded by West Village and Zhangjiazhuang in front."
"The Eighth Route Army will not worry about the safety of the Niukou Village base camp."
"But how could they have thought that our army's high-profile attacks in West Village and Zhangjiazhuang were just preparations for the beheading operation of your special team, senior?"
"In order to attack the two imperial troops from Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the independent regiment can only send heavy troops there. By then, Niukou Village will be empty of troops. In addition, the principal will lead a special team to attack in one fell swoop, and the independent regiment's headquarters will be destroyed in one fell swoop."
Yamamoto Kazuki nodded, victory seemed to be right in front of him.
At this time, a staff officer suggested: "Your Excellency, Captain, since the troops are divided into two groups, it is better to choose one as the focus and the other as a feint attack."
Ishiihara smiled and said: "Yes, this is exactly my plan. This time we will pretend to attack the West Village and actually attack Zhangjiazhuang."
"Our unit has nearly 3,500 troops deployed this time, 500 of whom are pretending to attack Xicun, and the other 3,000 troops are advancing directly from the Zhangjiazhuang area."
"According to intelligence investigation, the strength of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is also about 3,000. If we divide the army into two and divide the troops into two groups, once the Eighth Route Army receives the news, it will definitely attack Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang at the same time. At this time, no matter where, On all fronts, we have no choice but to gain the absolute advantage of elite troops."
"If the Eighth Route Army relies on its familiarity with the surrounding terrain and the use of villages as a defense to resist desperately, our unit will definitely fall into a deadly battle, and the gains will not be worth the losses."
"Therefore, choosing one of the two offensive routes as the centralized breakthrough point is undoubtedly the best tactic."
"In addition, there is an Imperial Army Corps accompanying our unit in this battle, with a strength of about 2,000 people. This Imperial Army Corps can also be of great use."
"Before this attack, I will prepare the uniforms of imperial soldiers for this Imperial Army in advance. On the day the attack begins, all this Imperial Army will put on the uniforms of Imperial soldiers, and they will fight with the 500-man Empire. Troops advance towards West Village."
"On the other side, in Zhangjiazhuang, which is our key offensive route, there were originally 3,000 imperial warriors, and about 2,000 of them, in turn, changed into the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army."
The Japanese chief of staff admired him: "Your Excellency, the commander of the alliance, is wise. In this way, according to the inspection of the Eighth Route Army, there are about 2,500 imperial troops attacking Xicun Road, while those attacking Zhangjiazhuang Road are only about 1,000 people." Imperial troops, plus about 2,000 Imperial Alliance troops.”
"The Imperial Army's troops have little combat effectiveness, and the Eighth Route Army is also very aware of this situation. Therefore, when fighting against our Imperial Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army's priority is the elite troops of our Imperial Japanese Army."
"In this case, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment will definitely think that our army has placed an important offensive point in the direction of West Village."
"When they hurriedly divided their forces to block the attack and focused their defense on the West Village, our main force attacking Niukou Village suddenly broke out. They were able to directly tear through Zhangjiazhuang's defenses and then attack Niu, the base camp of the Independent Regiment. If the village is destroyed, the Independent Regiment can be destroyed."
Ishiihara said confidently: "It's a very simple tactic, but once this independent group is fooled, it will inevitably be destroyed.
At that time, after Zhangjiazhuang breaks through, the troops can be divided into two parts. One part will destroy the Niukou Village base where the Independent Regiment is located, and the other part will detour from the back and side of the West Village and arrange the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army in the West Village. wipe out. "
The words are not finished here, Ishii Haraichi's mouth flashed with a touch of pride, "After returning, all of you captains will pass on the content of this combat meeting. As for the Imperial Association Army team, don't publicize it too much. Just tell some officers that is. Can."
The chief of staff of the Japanese army worried: "Your Excellency, the commander of the alliance, is not of my own race, so he must have different ideas. Tell the officers of the Imperial Alliance Army in advance, if the news is leaked..."
"What I want is for the news to be revealed within the Imperial Alliance Army." Ishii Haraichi said with a smile.
"???"
Ishii Haraichi explained: "Just imagine, this time we attack the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the Niukou Village area. We need to transfer our troops to Yangquan in advance, and then send troops to the Niukou Village area.
There was a lot of movement going on, and it was impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Eighth Route Army.
As for the Imperial Army troops, I know very well that they are not united among themselves, and there may even be spies from the Eighth Route Army lurking among them.
Isn't this a problem that has always existed in the Imperial Alliance Army?
But this is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes it can also be exploited by us.
For example, after you return this time, when you convey the news to the officers of the Imperial Association Army, the general content of the military meeting remains unchanged, but what needs to be changed is the direction of the key attack.
It is no longer Zhangjiazhuang, but West Village.
The rest is a step-by-step plan. The military intelligence transmitted to the Imperial Alliance Army must be like this:
There were 500 imperial troops, and about 2,000 people put on imperial military uniforms, disguised as the Imperial Army of the Imperial Army, and attacked Zhangjiazhuang.
The focus is on the direction of Nishimura, which is promoted by 3,000 imperial troops, of which 2,000 imperial soldiers are dressed as soldiers of the Imperial Association Army.
In this way, the military information obtained by the Imperial Association Army is very clear:
We used their Imperial Army troops as a disguise to actually attack Xicun and pretend to attack Zhangjiazhuang.
But on the day of the actual attack, it was the moment our offensive troops left Yangquan County and prepared to split into two groups.
I will issue the order again, and the two teams will switch routes without warning.
In this way, we will return to the plan we formulated, actually attack Zhangjiazhuang and pretend to attack Xicun.
And I believe that at this time, the Eighth Route Army had already received the news through the informants lurking in the Imperial Alliance Army camp that we were going to actually attack Xicun and pretend to attack Zhangjiazhuang.
At the same time, the two thousand imperial soldiers wearing puppet army uniforms, as well as the puppet army soldiers wearing imperial military uniforms, will change their clothes again.
Because the Eighth Route Army will definitely get the news from the Imperial Association Army, knowing that we have put a large number of Imperial Army soldiers into imperial military uniforms to serve as elite intelligence.
In this way, when the two lines of troops advance, the Eighth Route Army will be aware of the situation in advance:
There were about 2,500 troops attacking Xicun, of which about 2,000 were from the Imperial Association Army.
The other team attacking Zhangjiacun was an imperial force with nearly 3,000 troops.
On the surface, our focus of attack is in Zhangjiazhuang.
But the Eighth Route Army, which had received the intelligence long ago, would definitely think that those soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army were actually imperial soldiers.
Then it will be concluded that our main offensive force is placed in the direction of Xiancun.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army believes that they will not be fooled by our appearance, and they will focus their defense on West Village instead of Zhangjiazhuang.
In this way, we happened to be fooled.
The focus of our army's attack this time is precisely on Zhangjiazhuang.
But at that point, we changed the route midway and changed the military uniforms worn by the soldiers. Even if there were informants from the Eighth Route Army in the team, they had no chance to pass on the news along the way.
By the time the Eighth Route Army came to their senses, it was too late.
In addition, the special agent team led by the principal is an absolute military secret this time, and the Imperial Association Army knows nothing about it.
If the two of us cooperate in the attack, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be doomed. "
After Ishiihara finished speaking, there was an audible silence in the conference room. All the Japanese staff and officers were impressed by Ishiihara's resourcefulness.
The Japanese officers who had dealt with the Eighth Route Army many times were well aware of the Eighth Route Army's cunning.
It's definitely not easy to fool the Eighth Route Army, but the captain just thought of such a clever way.
The Eighth Route Army was finally fooled by the combination of falsehood and reality on the surface, coupled with the errors in the intelligence information passed by the Imperial Alliance Army.
This combination of virtual and real attacks on Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, not to mention the enemy, even the Japanese staff and officers were almost stunned.
Coupled with the decapitation operation of Yamamoto's special agent team.
It is difficult not to destroy the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
In the end, even Yamamoto Kazuki had nothing to say about the exquisiteness of Ishii Haraichi's tactics.
Ishii Haraichi immediately reconfirmed the implementation process of specific tactics with the officers.
…
…
In this way, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, at the end of March, the Eighth Route Army's Enemy Industry Department quickly received news that there had been a large increase in Japanese troops in Taiyuan City recently.
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
Wang An returned to the regiment headquarters with the information to report. The battalion commanders and instructors also gathered under Kong Jie's order to hold a military meeting at the regiment headquarters.
At the beginning of the meeting, Kong Jie took the lead in pointing out the theme: "The Japanese army has begun to increase its troops in large numbers in the direction of Taiyuan City. Zhu Wenliang also received news not long ago. The Japanese army asked him about the situation of our independent regiment's base area, plus the surrounding areas of our base area. , during this period, there were many Japanese and puppet troops probing around."
"From this we can basically conclude that this little devil is planning to attack our independent group!"
The first battalion commander Wang Leihu said: "Captain, I'm afraid that the Japs won't come. How long have we been waiting for this day? Our first battalion is still thinking that after winning another battle this time, we will give up the cannon battery in the battalion." Pull it up!"
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan looked at Wang An and asked, "Wang An, have comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry found out the specific situation? How are the Japanese troops planning to march towards our base area?"
Wang An replied: "The information sent back by comrades lurking in the puppet army camp in Yangquan County said that they got some information through one of his drunken battalion commanders.
The specific force that the Japanese are planning to use to deal with our independent regiment this time is a Japanese regiment with about 3,500 troops, plus a puppet army regiment with about 2,000 troops.
It seems that they are preparing to attack our base area in two ways.
In addition, we also learned a very important piece of information. In order to confuse our judgment, this little devil planned to have a large number of puppet soldiers put on the uniforms of Japanese soldiers and pretend to be elite Japanese soldiers.
A considerable number of Japanese soldiers were also asked to put on puppet army uniforms and disguise themselves as puppet soldiers.
Our enemy's Ministry of Industry has judged that the Japanese want to choose Xicun or Zhangjiazhuang as the focus of this attack.
I want to use this method to interfere with our judgment.
As for the Japanese's two-pronged attack this time, we have not received exact information about which one is a feint attack and which one is an actual attack. "
Chen Quan nodded and said with a headache: "Captain, this little devil is quite cunning, and he is planning to play some false and true tactics with us!"
"But if the Japs really attack like this, it is also very important for us to determine whether the Japs' key attack route should be in the West Village or Zhangjiazhuang."
Wang Leihu said: "But now how to determine which direction the Japanese are going to focus their attack?"
The generals were silent. There was really no answer to this question.
Kong Jie said: "We must know the answer to this question, but there is no need to be too anxious. As long as we can figure out the specific deployment of the Japanese even an hour in advance before the two front lines of Japanese troops arrive in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, it will not be too late."
"In this way, Wang An, comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry will continue to monitor every move of the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan County in order to finally determine the key attack routes of the Japanese."
"Yes!" Wang An responded.
"First Battalion Commander, Second Battalion Commander, this section between West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, you two are each responsible for investigating one section.
Send me all the most elite scouts in the battalion. In order to achieve the enemy's strength, as soon as the Japanese army steps out of Yangquan County, the ratio of forces, firepower allocation, and specific military conditions of the Japanese army divided into two groups must be determined in time. Report it to the headquarters. "
"Yes!" Wang Leihu and Shen Quan responded in unison...
