Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters
Spring has arrived unexpectedly for Xiao Zhuoyi'nan, which makes him unable to help but sigh, the ups and downs of life are really exciting.
After the Hundred Battalions Battle, especially after the disastrous defeat in the Yuci Battle, he was already mentally prepared to return home, and was even mentally prepared to be sent to a military court. He did not expect that what was waiting for him was actually good news.
That night, he called Duanmu to the office and whipped him so hard that he turned red several times.
When I woke up, all the gloom that was weighing on my mind was swept away, and my style remained the same!
"Miyamoto-kun, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. The battle between the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army was not achieved in a day. It was like a baseball game that took place at the Kyoto National Stadium. This was just the first inning and the Eighth Route Army won. one cent;
There is no doubt about the strength of the Imperial Army, and it will not change just because of a small loss. There are still 8 more rounds to come.
As long as the Imperial Army learns the lessons of the Yuci Battle, makes full use of the Imperial Army's powerful national, material and military power, and gives the Eighth Route Army a home run, victory will surely belong to the powerful Imperial Army! "
Miyamoto was very happy to see that the Commander had regained his composure. This was the strategizing and confident Imperial Fox in his mind.
"Your Excellency, Commander, although the Imperial Army suffered a small defeat this time, the Eighth Route Army suffered a lot of losses and consumption. Many main regiments almost used up their last bullets. The 882nd Regiment in Chuxiong even lost all their organizational structures. Other regiments also suffered a lot of losses. There were also more than half casualties.
The Empire is one of the few industrial powers in the world. In just half a month, the First Army not only recovered its vitality, but its overall strength was stronger than before the war;
The imperial army has lost tens of thousands of people, and it will soon be able to arm hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people!
The Eighth Route Army is different. They do not have decent logistical supplies, and more than 90% of their ammunition must be captured.
Several units of the Imperial Army fought until they ran out of ammunition and food. Even if the Eighth Route Army won, they would not be able to seize much supplies. Although they won tactically, they lost strategically until they were left with only a pair of underwear. "
Miyamoto's analysis was recognized by Xiao Zhuoyinan. In a decisive battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army, no matter whether they win or lose, it is the Eighth Route Army that suffers.
"Hey, what Miyamoto-kun said is absolutely true. After the Hundred Battalions Battle, the main force of the Eighth Route Army voluntarily withdrew from the Imperial Army's security area, leaving only a small number of troops to fight guerrillas;
They can no longer fight. This is a proactive show of goodwill to the imperial army. During this period, the imperial army can concentrate its forces to deal with the Chinese government troops. "
According to the unified deployment of the Japanese base camp, Xiao Zhuoyi's First Army will be supplemented by three divisions within two to three months, which will greatly strengthen the strength of the First Army. The total strength of the First Army was expanded to 120,000.
This is definitely the pinnacle of the First Army. As Chu Xiong expected, the Japs are still extremely powerful at this stage. They lost tens of thousands of people and easily replenished them, so it is not yet time for a decisive battle with the Japs.
The Japanese could not afford losses, and the Eighth Route Army could not afford to consume them. Therefore, after the Hundred Battalions War, the entire Eighth Route Army chose to survive and develop. All the main forces withdrew from the Yuci area, so that the Japanese could feel more at ease.
Yuci is too close to Taiyuan. If the Eighth Route Army puts tens of thousands of troops in Yuci, the Japanese will not be able to sleep well in Taiyuan. Once they regain their strength, they will be the first to fight against the Eighth Route Army.
The boss also listened to the suggestions of Yanzhou and Chuxiong this time. Not only did he not invest 100 regiments, he also chose to have the 129th Division, 81st Division and other main forces withdraw to their respective defense areas after the battle.
Xiao Zhuoyi Nan could finally prepare with peace of mind to deal with the hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Miyamoto-kun, formulate a complete plan to attack Zhongtiao Mountain. This time the imperial army will use a hundred thousand troops to solve the problem of Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop, and then concentrate its forces against the Eighth Route Army and defeat them one by one!
We are temporarily on the defensive against the Eighth Route Army, but of course we cannot leave them idle;
Didn't they leave a small number of guerrilla troops in Yuci?
With the brigade as the backbone, form several efficient and fast detachments to eliminate the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and control the scale of combat with the Eighth Route Army at the brigade level;
In addition, send the Masuko advance team deep into the activity area of the Eighth Route Army headquarters to find them and then eliminate them!
In order to confuse the Chinese Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain and hide the true intention of the imperial army's troop mobilization, Duanmu's intelligence department was ordered to spread the news that the imperial army would mobilize heavy troops to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Camps Battle, and to calm Yuzhou's mind.
According to reports from the base camp, a major military operation is being planned in Yuzhou, and the target is the New Fourth Army in the south.
The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fishermen benefited. When they celebrated the elimination of the New Fourth Army, the imperial army gave them a big surprise at Zhongtiao Mountain. "
After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuoyinan and Major General Miyamoto looked at each other and smiled, like two extremely sinister foxes.
On November 9, stars gathered in the command room of the national government in Yuzhou, central Sichuan.
Zhongcai's eyes moved from the north to the south. A month ago, he instructed General He and Xiao Zhuge to call the two bosses of the Eighth Route Army and Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang of the New Fourth Army in the name of the Chief and Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Military Commission, forcing General The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army south of the river moved to the north of the river within one month.
Today is the deadline for the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army to respond, and they were waiting in the command room early.
Zhong Cai habitually asked General Chen:
"Ci Xiu, do you think the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will carry out the orders of the government?"
Admiral Chen immediately stood up and replied:
"The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are still in the order of battle of the government. Whether they want to or not, they have to obey the orders of the government and the government. It doesn't matter whether they implement them or not. The government just needs a justifiable excuse.
If they are smart enough, they should obey your order, President, and withdraw to the north of the river. Otherwise, they will know what it means to kill millions of people in a rage! "
Zhong Cai nodded with satisfaction. As expected of a small Zhong Cai, he secretly praised:
“It’s the art of rhetoric that wins my heart!”
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhuge walked in, holding a few messages in his hand, holding the iconic begging stick, and looking at Xiao Zhuge deeply.
Xiao Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"Zhongcai, the two bosses of the Eighth Route Army, as well as Ye and Xiang, called back. They rejected your strict order, CEO, and only agreed to withdraw the New Fourth Army troops in southern Anhui to Jiangbei."
Zhongcai immediately said angrily:
"Niang Xipi, are they still the army of the government? Do they still regard me as my kind?
Military and state affairs cannot be negotiated. My order is to withdraw all the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to the north of the river. I will only withdraw the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui to the north of the Yangtze River. Is this sending beggars away?
Since they don't know how to cherish the opportunity given to them, don't blame the government for being ruthless! "
"Jiansheng, give Mo San and Ji Qing a secret order to act according to the original plan and deal with the Jiangnan New Fourth Army immediately."
