Iwakura can speak a few words in Chinese, but it is obvious that he does not know much about Chinese culture.
Faced with Li Yunlong's inquiry, he didn't know the answer, so he could only reply in embarrassment for the time being:
"I've heard that Your Excellency Li Yunlong was born as a warrior, has been on the battlefield for many years, and is a powerful general. I didn't expect that you can write so powerfully. If you surrender to the imperial army, Commander Okamura will definitely welcome you."
This is interesting. Now that this little devil is under the eaves, he dares to persuade Li Yunlong to surrender in such a public way.
Li Yunlong thought for a while and said happily: "Brother Iwakura, you must be familiar with Tomomi Iwakura, right? Did he ever waver for the Meiji Restoration?
As a Kyoto native, you must regard him as your idol, right? "
The Iwakura Tomomi mentioned by Li Yunlong was a major contributor to Japan's Meiji Restoration.
It can even be said that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which has gradually become stronger, was able to reach such a strong point today. Iwakura Tomomi regarded this old Japanese as having made outstanding contributions.
Li Yunlong pondered that the Japanese leader in front of him also had the surname Iwakura, so he might be a descendant of Iwakura Toshi.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Li Yunlong also began to understand some Japanese culture during this period, so he naturally had to pretend at this moment.
as expected.
As soon as Li Yunlong said this, Iwakura immediately understood Li Yunlong's determination to resist Japan.
"Sir, I was offended.
Iwakura-senpai is the totem of my family, and I and other juniors are ashamed of him.
Your Excellency, like Mr. Iwakura, is a loyal patriot. Please forgive me for my mistakes. "
"Red bean paste Smi Masai!" Iwakura lowered his head towards Li Yunlong with full apology.
Li Yunlong raised his head proudly at some of the accompanying Eighth Route Army commanders.
It seems to be telling invisibly, see, we, Lao Li, can still make his little devil bow his head and admit his mistakes by relying on cultural means!
Then, Lao Li patted Iwakura on the shoulder and said seriously:
“Brother Iwakura, it seems that your Chinese culture still needs to be strengthened.
I will reluctantly be your Chinese teacher for once. This so-called Hu Ma is actually you little devil, and this Dragon City is the fortification set up by our Eighth Route Army along the transportation line of your Japanese army. As for the flying generals, then Of course it’s me, Li Yunlong.
What does that mean?
As long as I, Li Yunlong, am here in Shexian County, hehe, you little devils can't even think of fighting through this direction! "
"Oh, by the way, your mission has been completed this time. You will give this calligraphy and painting to your Commander Okamura for me.
My old comrade-in-arms Kong Jie got married, and he sent a lot of congratulatory gifts. Next time I get married, I have to return the favor!
By the way, I also ask you to take the relics and corpses of the two captains who died in Xiangtangpu back for burial! This time, considering the fate of meeting each other thousands of miles away, I won’t charge you! "
Li Yunlong said, handing the words written by himself to Iwakura.
"..." Iwakura, his face trembling, replied for the sake of the relics and remains of the warriors: "Your Excellency is a respectable and true soldier!"
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Iwakura, go and have something to eat. I will send you on your way early tomorrow morning!"
The smile before parting made Iwakura shudder again.
When Iwakura went back to tell the other Japanese and traitors that Li Yunlong was going to send everyone on their way, a group of people started to cry while eating.
An officer of the puppet army said: "Taijun, this Li Yunlong has always been evil-faced and cruel-hearted, and does not follow the rules. I think we are in the tiger's mouth this time. I'm afraid we are in danger."
The brigade commander arrived at the frontline headquarters and saw that the puppet soldiers were crying and crying despite eating that day.
Iwakura even went to the brigade commander to cry and complain, saying that Li Yunlong wanted to deal with them secretly.
The brigade commander felt a little baffled, so he asked Li Yunlong what he was doing.
As a result, Lao Li looked confused: "Old brigade commander, this is unfair. Didn't I just say that I would send them back to HD early tomorrow morning?"
The brigade commander came back to his senses and cursed with a smile: "How can you say that this is a good send-off, like a funeral? It seems that your reputation, Li Yunlong, is too bad among the Japanese. You use deceit and abduction, and use any means.
When this little devil falls into your hands, your heart will almost freeze. "
Li Yunlong said happily: "Old brigade commander, that's not possible. I have been studying culture recently and changing the outside from the inside!
I even gave Okamura a poem as a gift this time. Why would he be so embarrassed not to give him a gift next time I get married?
The devils all came with gifts when Lao Kong got married, so we can't leave them behind when we get married.
The handwriting written by me, Li Yunlong, is exquisite! "
The brigade commander smiled and said: "You are much smarter, so can you help me get a copy?"
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "How can the small gift from Okamura be worthy of you, the brigade commander? Why must the emperor's special envoy come to give the gift?"
The brigade commander smiled even more. No wonder he had always liked Li Yunlong. It was a lot of fun to get along with this kid.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. I haven't had a chance to communicate with you for a long time. Ever since you made up your mind to build a rapid response force directly under our Taihang, you have devoted yourself to this path.
But Li Yunlong, you have to understand that our Eighth Route Army currently lacks mobile troops, and we have just built one. You, the military commander, may be replaced at any time.
So you kid, you have to think carefully. You must have comprehensive command capabilities. If I give you a mobile unit today, you can lead the battle. If I give you regular infantry another day, you still have to command me!
This battle around Licheng, Shexian, Xiangyuan, Lucheng and other five cities can be regarded as a large-scale battle. Your boy just happens to study hard with me. This is a blessing that most people can't ask for. "
Li Yunlong immediately closed his heels and solemnly replied: "Yes!"
After just responding, the boy rolled his eyes, looked at the general on the side, and said without changing his expression: "Old Qin, you heard it, follow the example of our brigade commander! The brigade commander called you You can do whatever you want, and you can't compromise or complain. Even if the brigade commander scolds you, you can't contradict the brigade commander, let alone fight with him."
brigadier:"???"
All this stuff?
"Why, Li Yunlong, are you wronged by asking me to learn how to command large-scale battles?"
Li Yunlong said: "How dare I do this!"
But then he started mumbling again, "This Lao Kong is personally guided by the division commander. The boss will occasionally take care of him for two days, and the deputy chief of staff will study the battle situation with Lao Kong when he has nothing to do.
Even when Ding Wei was fighting the Japanese south of Licheng, he was guided by the deputy division commander and Brigadier Chen.
Why is the treatment worse when you come to my place? "
When the brigade commander heard this, he didn't understand what this guy Li Yunlong was thinking, and he immediately became furious.
This is a blind thing. The brigade commander raised his foot and was about to kick someone. Li Yunlong was so bluffed that he quickly ran away.
Everyone's laughter came from behind.
…
…
Finally, in fear, Japanese leader Zuo Iwakura and his party of Japanese and puppet troops were sent to HD by Li Yunlong.
When they were convinced that their group had indeed escaped from the tiger's mouth, had completely returned to the stable security area of the empire, and was protected by the military police, Iwakura and his group almost cried with joy.
Finally escaped from the clutches of the black-hearted Li Big Head.
After wandering around, Iwakura met Okamura and gave Okamura the calligraphy that Li Yunlong asked him to hand over.
Okamura is nicknamed China Master, and he still knows a lot about Chinese culture. After reading this calligraphy written by Li Yunlong, he said in a deep voice:
"The so-called Dragon City Flying Generals, it seems now, are the Eighth Route Army troops that have become a serious problem for us, those damn Eighth Route Army generals Kong Jie and Li Yunlong."
"Besides, after entering the Eighth Route Army base area, are there any other gains?"
Iwakura recalled what he saw and heard on the way and replied: "The Eighth Route Army was very cautious. After our gift-giving team delivered the gifts, they did not let us go immediately, but specially arranged for people to guard us.
Therefore, we are unable to access the core areas of the Eighth Route Army base areas, but judging from the appearance of the Eighth Route Army base areas, the development of their base areas has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years.
The villagers I saw along the way seemed to have a prosperous life and their faces were rosy.
This is very different from many Chinese people in quasi-security areas, or even in our stable security areas.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army's defense system seemed to be extremely tight. When our team was still in the guerrilla zone, the Eighth Route Army seemed to have received the news.
Later, if we had not revealed in time that we were the gift-giving troops who came to celebrate Kong Jie's wedding, they might have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army troops in those places on the way. "
Okamura nodded and waved his hand for Iwakura to leave.
He was quite upset. It was already the third day of the big sweep.
According to the plan, after the large-scale exchange of the security forces of the Twelfth Army and the First Army, they will cooperate with the main forces in the field to take the lead in attacking the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Shandong.
Use a wide net and large-scale vertical and horizontal blockade to completely isolate the Eighth Route Army's base areas, and launch layer-by-layer raids to create a depth of dozens of miles.
However, the situation reported by the vanguard units was not ideal.
Especially in the Taihang base area, with the recent winter offensive, the Eighth Route Army won a great victory, and many guerrilla areas were converted into Eighth Route Army base areas.
The area of the Eighth Route Army's base area has once again been expanded, and its strategic depth has also been greatly increased.
It was even exaggerated to the point that in some of the deeper core areas of the Eighth Route Army base areas, even if there were no defenses along the way, it would still take days and nights for the Japanese army to advance according to accurate maps.
Not to mention the traps set by the Eighth Route Army along the way, which has created a defense system for so many years.
When the old Japanese soldier Okamura was looking sad, the Japanese chief of staff Tanabe arrived. He held a battle plan and reported to Okamura:
"General, I have just carefully studied the battle situation with the staff and found out the situation of the frontline troops fighting in the past few days.
Today, it has become extremely difficult for our army to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army base areas.
The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the scale development of the troops and the defense of the base areas, have already far exceeded our army's expectations.
Under such circumstances, unless we draw back all the combat troops from the frontal battlefield, concentrate our superior forces, and launch an aggressive attack on the Eighth Route Army base areas at all costs, will it be possible to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army base areas.
But even so, with the vast mountains, sufficient strategic depth, the cunningness of the Eighth Route Army, and the troublesome guerrilla tactics, it is still very difficult for us to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied areas. "
Okamura nodded. He didn't understand the current situation.
He also no longer expected to destroy all the Eighth Route Army base areas and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army.
He only wanted to build a stable rear area in North China to cope with the Pacific battlefield.
Therefore, for Okacun, the Eighth Route Jizhong Military Region is inevitable.
Only by taking control of Jizhong in one fell swoop can Okacun stay stable in Peiping.
"At this time, we still follow the original plan to force the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area of Taihang Taiyue to retreat to the mountainous area, and then concentrate our forces to encircle Jizhong and completely destroy the Jizhong Military Region."
Tanabe is convinced of this.
And when he comes here now, he is actually offering advice.
"General, based on our analysis of the Eighth Route Army base areas and the situation of the Eighth Route Army troops, after discussions with other staff officers, we agreed that if we follow the old traditional tactics of heavily encircling the net and advancing towards the Eighth Route Army base areas, it is no longer suitable for the current battlefield. .
The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly, and the firepower configuration they have at hand should not be underestimated. If they continue to rush forward with heavy troops and go deep alone, they will fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army and lose troops and generals, or there will be a crisis of the entire army being destroyed.
So I think we might as well switch to a more flexible sweep mode! "
"Oh? How do you say this?" Okamura asked.
Tanabe replied: "General, I think we can use a small number of reconnaissance troops, equipped with armored vehicles, to try to conduct fire reconnaissance on the Eighth Route Army's defenses along the way while advancing towards the Eighth Route Army base area.
Once they encounter an Eighth Route Army position along the way, they will immediately use the mobility of the armored forces to retreat, and then use artillery and aerial firepower to bomb the Eighth Route Army position.
If the Eighth Route Army defending the positions is weak, we can take the opportunity to occupy these positions.
In addition, when we advance to the Eighth Route Army base area, we can no longer just advance along the traffic lines as before.
We must also occupy the commanding heights, traffic arteries, and pass fortifications along the way to form a relatively tight, continuous, and complete front to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking the opportunity to engage in roundabout operations.
Now, although the Eighth Route Army has achieved great development, especially the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area.
But overall, the Eighth Route Army faced difficulties in logistical supplies and lacked heavy equipment.
Our army can completely use armored forces to maneuver quickly, raid important traffic arteries in the Eighth Route Base Area, control the traffic arteries, and cut off the supplies and backup of the Eighth Route Army.
Armored troops, main forces, and air force quickly coordinated to force the Eighth Route Army to engage in battle with our army.
If the Eighth Route Army does not want to be attacked by our army from the front, it will have to retreat, and we will also be driven to the predetermined mountainous area to cooperate with the completion of the follow-up combat plan. "
"What if the Eighth Route Army really concentrates its forces to counterattack?" Okamura asked.
"Then retreat and take advantage of our army's mobility. After retreating, immediately counterattack with artillery and aerial firepower. If you can't defeat it, attack. Occupy the position. If you can't defeat it, withdraw. Use artillery and aircraft bombing. Come on. Beating back and forth repeatedly.
It is necessary to stick to the Eighth Route Army, press forward step by step, and drive these Eighth Route Army soldiers into the mountains step by step.
This tactic can be called a sticky tactic! "Tanabe introduced...
