Although Yamamoto is an old silver coin and is sinister in his actions, his military literacy is still very high. He has now analyzed some of the Eighth Route Army's intentions from the true and false intelligence in the Eighth Route Army.
Although he still couldn't guess the true intention of the Hundred Regiment War, he knew that the Eighth Route Army's big move was coming.
After saying that, Yamamoto put away his lecture stick and said, "It's too frequent and too intensive. All signs indicate that the Eighth Route Army will make big moves recently."
Yoshino looked at the map for a while and asked, "Is it related to the autumn harvest?"
"Maybe!" Yamamoto frowned and said uncertainly, "If it is really related to the autumn harvest, then it is not a problem. Regarding this, the headquarters has been prepared for a long time. I am now afraid that they have other intentions. .”
Yoshino didn't answer. He knew that he was not as qualified as Yamamoto, and he was not a consultant. He couldn't give any advice at this time.
After looking at the map for a while, Yamamoto turned around and clapped his hands.
After hearing this, all the staff immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Yamamoto.
Yamamoto raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "The meeting will be held in ten minutes! You don't need to go to the conference room, it's right here!" As he said that, he turned around and looked up at the military map behind him again, "Before the meeting, you should put your hands down. For work, take a look at this map. Here are the latest deployments of the Eighth Route Army that I just marked. Of course, there are also my guesses. Before the formal meeting, I hope that you will each bring in the commanders and supreme commanders of the Eighth Route Army and think about them. What do you want to do?"
Yamamoto already had a premonition. Although he couldn't guess the Eighth Route Army's intentions yet, he had staff. This was the time for these staff to come into play, and he was very good at employing people. He was the one in charge of this meeting. It was learned from Germany, which is called brainstorming in later generations.
His staff liked this kind of meeting because it was the only place where they dared to speak freely.
After finishing speaking, Yamamoto moved away from the map and left the position to the staff officer.
But at this time, a guard walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Xu Sanjun is here and said he has important information to report!"
Yamamoto raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell him that I don't have time now and will talk about it after the meeting is over."
"Hi!"
The guard went down to deliver the message.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Yamamoto, "Ask him what information he has."
"Hi!"
The guard went to ask questions, and soon returned to Yamamoto, "Xu Sanjun said it was about the follow-up to the mission the day before yesterday."
"Follow up?" Yamamoto was confused.
Wasn’t the mission a few days ago just about getting gold?
Although the journey was bumpy, the gold was finally handed over to Shinozuka.
The Ministry of Intelligence's information was that it was ten tons, but the final seizure was just over seven tons, which was a difference of more than two tons.
Could it be these two tons?
Thinking of this, Yamamoto's first thought was whether Xu San had hidden more than two tons of gold, but then he thought it was impossible. His special team was monitoring the whole process, and there would be no mistakes. Moreover, they indeed only seized four cars. Gold, this is consistent with the information sent back by other intelligence agencies.
If Xu San and the special forces were colluding, they would only be able to corrupt a little bit, but they would never be able to produce such a large quantity as more than two tons.
The combat command room gradually became noisy, and several staff officers began to discuss it after seeing the map.
Yamamoto raised his eyebrows slightly and decided not to think about gold anymore, because he knew that predicting the movements of the Eighth Route Army was the most important thing now.
After Yamamoto raised his hand to check the time, he said to the guard, "Tell him to come to my office to find me after the meeting."
"Hi!"
The guard went down again to deliver the message, and Yamamoto also walked back to the map and looked at Yoshino and said, "Yoshino-kun, the meeting has begun, you take notes."
"Hi!"
On the other side, after Xu San listened to the guard's message, he left with Kurosaki and went to the school field to watch the veterans train new recruits.
It is normal in any army for veterans to lead new recruits.
Every country has its own characteristics, and Japan naturally has its own characteristics.
Among them, slapping the mouth is one of the special features. Coupled with the national tendency to be beaten when standing at attention, the training ground for new recruits is particularly interesting.
Xu San likes to watch it, and it is one of his must-see items every time he comes to Yamamoto Headquarters.
Regarding this, Yoshinohan knew very well and even told Yamamoto specifically, but Yamamoto didn't pay attention.
However, Xu San looked a little absent-minded today.
What he was talking about was indeed about gold, but he knew that the gold matter was just a stepping stone. It could only attract Yamamoto's attention. As for whether the special forces team could be recruited back, it would depend on the performance of the new regiment and other units.
Just last night, Xu San directly contacted the headquarters using a walkie-talkie, requesting the new regiment to surround his cement factory but not attack, intending to use the method of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao to force Yamamoto's special forces to return to defense.
But the headquarters did not agree with Xu San's tactics because Xu San's ideas were too simple.
Although the New Regiment is strong enough, don't forget that the Kurosawa United Force stationed in Chuliang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With their strength, they can easily deal with the New Regiment without using special forces.
Although they did not agree with Xu San's tactics, the headquarters still decided to cooperate and dispatched two teams from the fourth division to attack Chu Liang, so that Kurosawa's main force could be contained.
The reason why the headquarters did this is because Yamamoto’s special forces are so disgusting. Most of them are small teams of less than twenty people. They are running around in the Eighth Route Army base area. They are as annoying as cockroaches. If the hospital calls again like the last time Air support is a big deal.
In addition, there is another reason: Chuliang is also located on the Zhengtai Line, which is also an important target of this Hundred Regiment War. This section of the railway will also be attacked, so using three regiments to help Xu San act can only be regarded as partial. Fine-tuning will not have any impact on the battle situation.
But in the end, whether all Yamamoto's troops can be brought back depends on Xu San's mouth.
According to the time given by the headquarters, the new regiment will arrive near the cement factory at around 10 a.m. and complete the siege of the cement factory in about an hour. At the same time, the other two regiments in the fourth division can also complete the siege of Chuliang. surrounded.
Thinking that the headquarters could make arrangements so quickly, Xu San was quite moved, because he did not expect that the headquarters could help improve it after knowing his plan, and also sent three regiments.
You know, three regiments, that's nearly 5,000 people.
Just thinking about the number of people, Xu San felt his blood boiling, and watching the veterans draw recruits, it felt even more exciting.
It's not yet nine o'clock, Yamamoto is having a meeting, and the new group has arrived at the target location ahead of schedule. (End of chapter)
