All of Duanwu's arguments have only one purpose, and that is to make Sasaki believe that there is a huge spy network belonging to Duanwu within the Japanese army.
This is one of the most powerful and deadly mind-attacking tactics.
Let the enemy suspect that there are spies in their ranks, and make them wary of each other and suspicious of each other.
And this is also the reason why the Japanese army often makes the Chinese army retreat without losing a fight.
The Japanese also know how to fight psychologically. They understand the nature of every general in China, and they also understand how chaotic it was when the warlords were fighting.
Therefore, the little devils focused on attacking people's hearts, making officers from different factions in China suspicious of each other. Even turning against each other.
But in comparison, Chinese generals know very little about Japanese generals. What's more, after the Japanese invaded China, they also tried to undermine each other. But generally speaking, they will join the group to stay warm.
This is just like the fellow party.
Out of a town and into a city. When you meet people from the same town, you will think that they are fellow villagers. Even if you beat each other to a bloody head in the town before, you will still have a drink and speak a few words in your hometown.
It's the same outside the provincial capital. Everyone in a province is a fellow villager. When you leave a region, you are a fellow countryman in the region. When you go abroad, you are a fellow countryman throughout the country.
The same goes for the little devils. When they are not abroad, they fight with each other to the death. But after leaving the country and invading other countries, you will encounter various dangers. As a result, the mentality of the national party to unite has become stronger and stronger.
Although, it's not as good as a piece of iron. But in comparison, the unity of the Japanese soldiers was unmatched by the Chinese soldiers at that time.
So at this time, Duanwu claimed that there was a huge spy network within the Japanese army, which was tantamount to fatal.
Of course, Sasaki would not easily believe this lie. So the Dragon Boat Festival must be filled with something exciting.
Duanwu said: "Then how do you explain that I easily discovered that Japanese spies were deceiving the Chinese people to fight against the government? How do you explain that I easily dug out the poisonous sting inside the 44th Division? How did I know that Yamamoto What’s the name Colonel?”
Sasaki pretended to be disdainful and said: "It's very simple. You saw our Imperial Army's agents outside the city, so you thought that there would be our Imperial Army's agents in the city. Although I don't know what strategy you used to find them. . But with your wisdom, there will always be a way."
Duanwu nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. But then, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it.
The 30th Brigade will arrive in Changshu before noon today, and the 38th Brigade will serve as the forward force. How did I know?
The 38th Regiment has three infantry brigades, two heavy artillery squadrons, one artillery squadron, and one heavy machine gun squadron, including several baggage units, with a total of more than 3,500 people.
I used this to create a scalpel-like plan of annihilation.
The 38th Regiment was very cautious and sent the village brigade as the vanguard to conduct a test. The other two infantry brigades and heavy artillery troops advanced slowly behind. This ensures that the heavy artillery troops can launch an attack upon arrival, and can also use the village brigade as bait to lure the 44th Division out of the city to attack.
However, although this strategy is clever enough, I have made arrangements for it in advance.
There are only three regiments of troops in Changshu City. I deliberately let your spies spread. I want you to confirm again and again that in Changshu City, there are only three regiments of troops, plus the artillery battalion, guard battalion, etc., the total strength will not exceed 5,000 people.
Such a force cannot annihilate the village brigade in a short period of time, unless the 44th Division mobilizes all key defense forces to fight this battle of annihilation.
However, this is simply not possible. Because there are still your spies in the city. They have two tasks: one is to create chaos for the Chinese soldiers and the Chinese government, forcing the Changshu garrison to bear the burden of a large number of refugees. The other one is to blow up all the military facilities in the city.
Therefore, once the defenders in the city attack, it is time for them to take action.
But it's a pity that I already know your Japanese army's plan. So I secretly mobilized another army.
There are more than 2,300 people in this surprise attack force, and they have been lurking in the mountains.
When the village's brigade passed by, they did not launch an attack because their target was not the village's brigade at all. And they know that when the village team arrives in Changshu, they will be annihilated by me. "
"Impossible! There must be at least 980 people in our village's brigade, and they are also equipped with 12 80mm caliber mortars. The small number of troops in Changshu City alone is not enough to annihilate our village in a short time. Brigade.
And I know that person in this village. His fighting style has always been cautious. If I guessed correctly, he should find a commanding height as his defensive position, and then use it as a stronghold to launch a tentative attack on the enemy. "
Sasaki suddenly interrupted Duanwu because he could not believe that there was really an enemy spy network within the Japanese army, nor could he believe that Duanwu had completely annihilated the village brigade with only the troops in Changshu City.
He felt that Dragon Boat Festival was hiding something else from him. He wants to find out the real reason why the 38th Regiment was suddenly annihilated.
Otherwise, it only takes the Chinese soldiers one and a half hours to form a regiment, so what about his remaining two regiments? It only took half a day to be annihilated.
Although he didn't want to admit it, after just a moment of chatting with Duanwu, he felt how scary he was. This man is worthy of being someone even Matsui-dono is afraid of.
Therefore, he couldn't let go of this opportunity. He wanted to find out the flaws of Dragon Boat Festival from the few words he said.
He even forgot why he came to Changshu. I have been chatting with Dragon Boat Festival here.
Fifteen minutes, another fifteen minutes, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Dragon Boat Festival has completed its mission.
But Sasaki, the old devil, was already fascinated by the Dragon Boat Festival and had no intention of ending this conversation.
So it is precisely because of this that although the time has come, Danwu still cannot leave immediately, otherwise Sasaki will definitely realize that what Danwu said to him before was just to delay time.
And when that time comes, no one can predict what crazy things the old devil Sasaki will do in anger.
What's more, Dragon Boat Festival's new plan has not yet been completed, and Sasaki has not yet believed that there is his spy network within the Japanese army.
But this is not surprising, because most of these Japanese are from Japan. I have rarely had contact with Chinese people before, so how could I become a spy for no reason?
But what Danwu wants is Sasaki's guess, so his next plan will be much easier to handle.
He will continue to let this suspicion spread in the hearts of the Japanese, and finally have to believe that within the Japanese army, there is a huge spy network of his Dragon Boat Festival. And thereby concealing his identity as a time traveler! ...
