Isotani quickly walked to the sand table, stared at the sand table with excited eyes, and began to deduce his battle plan in his mind.
The little Japanese officers next to him all stood respectfully on both sides. No one dared to speak for fear of disrupting the division commander's train of thought.
After a while, Isotani pointed to the sand table and said: "Notify the Raigu Brigade and the Raitake Brigade to launch an operation this evening, make a sudden attack, and quickly encircle the enemy. They must be surrounded. They must not Let them escape.”
"Hai~!"
Tsubujagui responded respectfully and ordered people to convey the order.
Isotani said excitedly: "This enemy is so cunning, I guess they will not dare to confront the locust army."
"They like to move at night, like rats in the ditch. Then we will surround them before dark. If they want to escape, we will take the opportunity to eliminate them."
Tsubujagui responded quickly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise. I believe that these enemies will not be able to escape this time."
"They are not too far away from the main force of the Locust Army. As long as we attack suddenly and everything goes well, we can encircle them in two hours."
"If they are afraid and take advantage of the chaos to escape, the locust army can concentrate its main force to pursue them and defeat them completely."
"And according to the intelligence we received before, these enemy troops have a large number of heavy weapons. It is also very inconvenient for them to move, and it is not easy to escape."
"Just be prepared to prevent them from escaping during the day."
Isotani said cheaply: "These enemy troops also need to rest and recuperate. Since they have stopped, they will definitely not escape during the day."
"Of course, we must be just in case. We must keep an eye on them at all times and never let them escape."
"Hai~!"
Tsubuzagui responded respectfully: "Please rest assured, division commander, our people are always watching them."
"The staff will formulate a detailed combat plan as soon as possible to ensure that nothing goes wrong. When the time comes to take action, the troops can form an encirclement against them as quickly as possible."
Isotani nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's make arrangements immediately. No more accidents will be allowed this time."
"Hai~!"
…
Sixth Theater Headquarters!
A staff officer quickly came to Commander Feng and said, "Report to Commander, we just got the exact information."
"Last night, a group of troops raided Yaoguantun Station, captured the station, robbed a Japanese military column, and took the opportunity to defeat the Japanese troops supported by Lion City. The Japanese suffered heavy losses."
When Chief Feng heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise, and he quickly asked: "Is the news confirmed?"
The staff officer said: "Our scouts and intelligence departments have verified it. It is absolutely true."
Chief Feng said in surprise: "It's really incredible!"
"It seems that this mysterious force is much more powerful than we imagined."
"What our 100,000-strong army couldn't do was actually done by them."
"What kind of army is such an army?"
The staff officer said: "This has not yet been clarified. It is said that the main force of the Japanese at that time was all mobilized to the area west of the Ziya River, and then they took the time to capture Yaoguantun Station."
Chief Feng quickly walked to the sand table, stared at the sand table, and said excitedly: "Quick, use the sand table to deduce what you have learned immediately."
"yes!"
Several staff officers immediately used the sand table to deduce the general battle situation they learned.
Chief Feng said with excitement: "Beautiful, this battle was really beautiful."
"First, we lured the snake out of the cave with one move, and mobilized all the main forces of the Japs to the west of Ziya River. Then we avoided the real situation and went straight to Yaoguan Village."
"This battle is a classic!"
"This leader is not simple!"
"Why don't I have such a person among my men?"
At this time, a staff officer said: "I believe that they can succeed in this battle mainly because they have strong strength."
"First of all, they must have severely damaged the Japs and made them feel threatened. That's why the Isoya Division desperately deployed most of its main troops to deal with them."
"If you don't have strong strength, how can you mobilize so many little devils?"
"Secondly, without strong strength, they would not have been able to quickly attack dozens of miles away, attack Yaoguantun Station, capture the station in one fell swoop, and take the opportunity to defeat their supporting troops."
"These are enough to prove that this unit definitely has strong combat effectiveness."
"As far as I know, the units of our First Army or the Third Army, even the most elite brigade or even a division, may not have such strength."
"What's strange is, where did such an elite force come from?"
"Those who have the strength to build such an elite force can only do it if we look at the whole country. The local warlords definitely do not have such strength."
"But if the commissioner dispatched such an elite force to support North China, how could he not leak any news to us? Even to this day, there is no news, nor does he ask us to cooperate with the Sixth Theater. That’s even weirder.”
Chief Feng waved his hand and said: "All the bald elite main forces have been transferred to Songhu. On the northern battlefield, they don't have many troops. Even if there are some, they are commanded by Liu Zhi. Fighting along the Pinghan-Han Railway is impossible. Show up here.”
"And that Liu Zhi is just like a pig. The hundreds of thousands of elite troops in his hands were defeated by the Japs so quickly. Moreover, they were defeated thousands of miles away and fled in panic, causing most of the land including Baocheng to fall into the hands of the enemy. Now according to this I’m afraid even Shimen won’t be able to maintain this trend.”
"I heard that that fat pig has gone to northern Henan in a hurry. It is really unreasonable. The soldier's face has been lost by this idiot. He is still a victorious general. I think he should be called a runaway general. right!"
"To give it back to the Five Tiger Generals, I think it's bullshit!"
"If he had such an elite force, it would be impossible for him to be defeated so miserably. Even if he had such an elite force, it would be used along the Pinghan-Hankou Railway. How could it come to the Jinpu Line?"
"So, this unit should have nothing to do with Baldhead."
"Didn't you send someone to contact them? Is there any news?"
The adjutant said quickly: "They are still on their way north, and we have not made contact with them yet."
"According to the intelligence we have received, this force has evacuated Yaoguantun and is now stationed near a village called Xiaolizhuang about ten miles away in the area east of the Jinpu Railway."
Chief Feng said: "They did not retreat, and they seemed to be confident."
"Urge them to rush to Xiaoli Village as soon as possible. They must get in touch with this unit and find out their details."
"yes!"
