It was impossible for the large-scale troop mobilization of the Jinsui Army to be hidden from the eyes of the Japanese intelligence department.
When the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army of the Jinsui Army quickly mobilized their troops, the information immediately reached Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Baga, what are the Jinsui Army doing? Could it be that they want to reinforce the Sixth Route Battlefield?"
Yoshio Shinozuka received the information and was not nervous.
The Jinsui Army is just a defeated general. Even if they are all dispatched, Shinozuka Yoshio is not afraid.
North China Expedition Army Major General Chief of Staff Miyano Michichi said: "I don't think so. The six battlefields are in a stalemate. Even if the Shanxi-Sui Army wants reinforcements, they can't commit such a large-scale mobilization of troops. I guess they may be defeated by the 18th Group Army." The strategic masters encouraged us."
"You mean, they are coming for the 41st Division?" Shinozuka Yoshio paused.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Miyano Michichi nodded, "The strategist of the 18th Group Army must have known that the Eighth Route New Regiment was no match for the 41st Division, so he wanted to use Jinsui to kill people with a borrowed sword. The army comes to fight, this is no child’s play.”
This war has been fought to this day, and the advantage still lies with the emperor's army.
In this aspect, in addition to the combat effectiveness of the Emperor's army being stronger than that of the Chinese army, the command of the Chinese army was also poor.
But now, if the strategic master of the 18th Group Army comes to command the Jinsui Army, this may have to be treated with caution.
"Baga!" Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka slammed his fist on the table. If it is really the strategic master of the 18th Group Army who secretly commanded the troops of the Jinsui Army, the defeated general of the Jinsui Army will most likely make a comeback. .
If the 41st Division, 10th Brigade, 14th Brigade, and 16th Brigade were all wiped out in the hands of the Jinsui Army, the vitality of the First Army would be severely damaged.
If things go wrong, it's hard to say whether Yoshio Shinozuka can continue to serve as the commander of the First Army.
"The main force of the Jinsui Army is mobilized on a large scale. Even if it is ushered in, it will take some time." Miyano Michichi thought for a while and said: "I suggest that we seize the time and let the 41st Division speed up its march and let the 10th Division move faster." The brigades, the 14th Brigade, and the 16th Brigade also began to prepare to cooperate with the 41st Division, including the Eighth Route New First Regiment. In any case, the Eighth Route New First Regiment is the most combat-effective unit of the 18th Group Army. Once the troops are surrounded, they may be able to influence the command of the strategic masters of the 18th Army. If we can capture the Eighth Route New Group first..."
"I'm afraid the New Team has been on guard against this move for a long time." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"I'm afraid this is true, but we can't stop all military operations now." Miyano Michichi looked at Shinozuka Yoshio, "Commander Okamura specially transferred the 41st Division here, just to let the first Shame on the army."
This battle was not easy to fight. The Jinsui Army was dispatched on a large scale, and the strategists of the 18th Group Army were commanding them. Miyano Michichi did not have much confidence.
However, the First Army has been losing battles and has been bullied to the point of being bullied by the enemy. If it retreats and shrinks its head at this time, the First Army will be drowned in saliva.
"Then let's do it your way first." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded.
Although there was no hope of encircling the new group, there was no better strategy in sight.
41st Division
"Division commander, this is a telegram from headquarters."
A staff officer handed the newly arrived telegram to Chiju Takeda, commander of the 41st Division.
Takeda Chiju received the telegram and read it. The content was that Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the 41st Division to speed up the march, cooperate with the 10th Brigade, 14th Brigade, and 16th Brigade to outflank the Eighth Route New Regiment at all costs. Kill the new group at the price!
"Map." Takeda Senshou ordered to unfold the map.
The map was quickly unfolded in front of Takeda Chiju. Takeda Chiju looked at the map carefully, found two brigade commanders under his command, drew two lines on the map with a pen, and said: "You two each choose a line to march on." , cooperate with the 10th Brigade, 14th Brigade, and 16th Brigade to surround the Eighth Route New Regiment."
"Division commander, what if the new Eighth Route Army regiment discovers our whereabouts in advance?" a brigade leader asked.
"If the whereabouts are discovered in advance, then we have to join forces with the 10th, 14th, and 16th Brigades first, and then wait for the next order from the headquarters." Takeda Senju said.
"Hai."
"Hai."
The two brigade commanders nodded in response, and the 41st Division quickly split into two, seizing the time to march.
…
"Captain, this is the reply from the rear."
Kong Jie's messenger ran back on horseback and handed Wu Ze's reply to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie took the note and read it. Without hesitation, he immediately went to find Li Yunlong.
At this time, Li Yunlong had already summoned Zhou Weiguo's special forces team.
Li Yunlong was speaking to the members of the special force: "Everyone, in the previous actions, you did a very, very good job. You were as powerful as Monkey Sun. You got into Princess Iron Fan's belly without anyone noticing and gave her a smooth valley." The big bear set a fire, allowing us to destroy the Pinggu Big Bear without any effort. Now, a new mission is coming again. We want you to be the monkeys again and set a fire for the new enemy and burn it again. Their supplies and supplies. The operation was successful. During the Chinese New Year, I invited everyone to drink. If anyone is not drunk, it is because I, the regiment leader, did not take good care of them!"
"Captain, don't worry, we promise to complete the mission!" The special operations team members were in high spirits.
"Don't take it lightly, everyone. The little devils suffered a loss last time. They will definitely learn from it this time. I'm afraid their food, grass and baggage will no longer be placed in the same place. Most of them will be separated. In this way, you will increase your number. The difficulty of completing the task." Li Yunlong reminded, "You are all the treasures of my new group, and I am not willing to let you suffer any losses."
"Captain, don't worry, I promise to bring you back all the team members." Zhou Weiguo saluted Li Yunlong.
"Xiao Zhou, I will lead a large force to cooperate with your infiltration. I look forward to your triumphant return." Li Yunlong returned the salute to Zhou Weiguo, and then Zhou Weiguo left quickly with the special operations team members.
Even if the 41st Division, the 10th Brigade, the 14th Brigade, and the 16th Brigade have not yet reunited, preparations must be made in advance.
As soon as Zhou Weiguo left, Kong Jie came over.
"Old Kong, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie.
"Old Li, look, this is the note Xiao Wu gave you." Kong Jie handed the note to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong looked down and immediately cursed: "You stupid Kong Er, you and Wu Ze..."
On the note, Wu Ze said that after asking Zhou Weiguo to burn the enemy's food and grass, the Jinsui Army would have the main force to surround the enemy, and the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment did not need to get involved.
This must be the news that the fucking fool and Wu Ze left!
Before Li Yunlong could finish speaking, Kong Jie interrupted directly: "Li Yunlong, don't you dare to slander others. Who is Wu Ze? He can figure it out. What do you want to do? Do you think you can hide it from Wu Ze?" Ze’s calculation?”
It has to be said that Kong Jie’s rhetoric is very confusing.
After all, we have all seen how powerful Wu Ze is.
At this time, there is absolutely no problem in directly using Wu Ze to deal with Li Yunlong.
Sure enough, when Li Yunlong heard what Kong Jie said, he paused and said, "Old Kong, didn't you tell Wu Ze in advance?"
"Li Yunlong, are you questioning the trust between you and me, or questioning Wu Ze's calculation ability!" Kong Jie glared.
"Hmph, I'll ask Wu Ze myself when I get back later." Li Yunlong was beaten by Kong Jie's Tai Chi for no reason, so he just hummed: "If I find out that it was you Kong Er who secretly..."
Kong Jie was not angry and continued to practice Tai Chi: "Li Yunlong, I can see that you are damn doubting Wu Ze's calculation ability. Fortunately, Xiao Wu still came out of your new group, you..."
"Okay, idiot, let's stop talking nonsense. Stop talking nonsense." Li Yunlong waved his hands. Wu Ze would use the Jinsui Army to kill the 10th Brigade, the 14th Brigade, the 16th Brigade and the 41st Brigade. Now that the division is over, there is no point in talking about this with Kong Jie.
"Li Yunlong, what should we do next?" Kong Jie asked.
"Of course we are cooperating with Zhou Weiguo's actions." Li Yunlong said, "After Zhou Weiguo's action, we will send the main force of the Jinsui Army. When the Jinsui Army surrounds the enemy, Shinozuka Yoshio will definitely send reinforcements. Let's fight for reinforcements. Shinozuka Yoshio's reinforcements must have a lot of supplies, and they cannot be wasted."
In the past, the reason why Zhou Weiguo was able to successfully sneak into Pinggu Daxiong's baggage was that Pinggu Daxiong's troops had fallen behind many Japanese soldiers. Zhou Weiguo led a special force and successfully sneaked in as laggard Japanese soldiers. .
This time, Zhou Weiguo's special forces team had to be given cover.
As for the main force of the Jinsui Army, which surrounded the 10th, 14th, 16th and 41st Brigades, the reinforcements sent by Shinozuka Yinan must be another large amount of supplies, Shinozuka The adopted man knew that it would be difficult to deliver the supplies, so he probably had to find a way to deliver them.
You must take what is delivered to your door, otherwise you will be betraying the enemy's good intentions.
"After calling for reinforcements."
"Let's talk after we call for reinforcements," Li Yunlong said.
"Captain, there is a new situation." A scout hurried over to report, "The Japanese 41st Division has accelerated its march and is outflanking us in two directions."
"Captain, the 10th, 14th, and 16th brigades across from us have moved. They seem to be dividing their forces." Zhang Dabiao also came to report.
"Obviously, this little devil Yoshio Shinozuka wants to surround us." Li Yunlong saw it through at a glance.
"Let's take them wandering around in the snow for a few days." Kong Jie said, "By the way, we can buy time for the main force of the Jinsui Army to mobilize."
In this way, before the encirclement was formed, the teams of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment were ready to run away.
two days later
"Division commander, the scouts are here to report that the Eighth Route New Regiment is no longer where it was." A brigade commander came over and reported to Takeda Chiju.
Takeda Qianju was not surprised when he heard this: "As expected, Tubalu is very cunning. They are not easily surrounded."
"Division commander, since we can't surround the new regiment on Tubal Road, should we join forces with the 10th, 14th, and 16th brigade first?" the brigade commander asked.
"Yes." Takeda Senju nodded and said: "Immediately send electricity to the headquarters, explain the situation to them, and then ask for instructions on the next military action. Should we pursue the new regiment, or turn to attack the Shanxi-Sui Army."
Takeda Senju already knew that there was a large-scale mobilization of troops on the Jinsui Army side. Since the new regiment ran away, it might not be easy to chase them.
The new group cannot be dealt with for the time being, and the Jinsui Army wants to come here to seek death, so Takeda Chiju does not mind attacking the cowardly Jinsui Army first to boost morale!
"Ha Yi." The leader of the Japanese Brigade responded.
The intelligence information was quickly passed to Yoshio Shinozuka.
Although he had predicted in advance that it would be difficult to surround the new group of Eight Route Army, when he actually got this information, Yoshio Shinozuka was still a little disappointed: "Haga, the cunning Tubal Road, they ran away."
"General, there is news from the intelligence department that most of the troops assembled by the Jinsui Army have begun marching. Should we continue to find a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or should we attack the Jinsui Army first?" Miyano Michichi asked Shinozuka Adopted man.
"What do you think?" Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't make up his mind.
To be honest, he wanted to kill the Eight Route New Group first.
But the new group of Eighth Route Army has already escaped. It is not easy to find and kill them.
As for the Jinsui Army, although they had assembled a large number of troops, Shinozuka Yoshio did not take them seriously at all.
Once the 41st Division, the 10th Brigade, the 14th Brigade, and the 16th Brigade join forces, even if all the Jinsui Army comes up, Shinozuka Yoshio will not be afraid.
But what he was worried about was being stabbed in the back by the Eighth Route Army.
The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route New Regiment is no longer what it used to be. At the most critical moment of the battle between the Imperial Army and the Jinsui Army, it would be no joke if the New Regiment were to attack behind the Emperor's army.
"I think so." Miyano Michichi thought for a while and said: "We should first find a way to hunt down the Eight Route New Group, and we can't let them hide their tracks completely. There is a saying in China that the most terrifying thing is the hidden knife. Yes, we have to kill this hidden knife first. As for the Jinsui Army, although they have a lot of troops, they are not as threatening as the Eighth Route New Regiment. Moreover, we can see the whereabouts of the Jinsui Army clearly. They If there is any action, we can detach a brigade to resist them at any time."
After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka pondered for a moment: "What if we really can't find the main force of the Eighth Route New Regiment?"
"If we really can't find the main force of the Eighth Route New First Regiment, then we have to leave one brigade to serve as a guard to prevent the Eighth Route New First Regiment from making a surprise attack from behind, while other troops go to attack the Jinsui Army." Miyano said.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and the First Army cannot wipe out the Eighth Route Army to avenge its shame, so it must at least have some achievements to show to the superiors.
It is also an achievement to be able to severely damage the Jinsui Army who did not know whether to live or die.
"It seems that this is all we can do for the time being." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, "Send more military dogs, and I don't believe that we can't find the Tubalu New Group."
