Chapter 424: The Great Sweep: The Wind Fills the Tiger Roaring Ridge (19)
In Niujia Town, in the Japanese army's sweeping headquarters, Duomen Jiro sat majestically, and beside him stood Chief of Staff Ozawa, the most relied on think tank.
In front of him, standing in the room were the commanders of the various units of the Japanese army who participated in the sweep this time, Shimamoto Shoichi, captain of the Second Brigade of the Independent Garrison of the Eastern Army, Itazu Naoen, captain of the Third Brigade, the commanders of the 16th and 30th Wings of the Second Division, the brigade commanders of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade, and several other regiment commanders, including Zang Xuecheng, captain of the Public Security Army Brigade, and Tang Tianhao.
It can be said that the commanders of the main forces of this devil sweep have all arrived, and of course those who died will definitely not come.
Sitting at the table, Duomen Erlang pressed his hand to the edge of the table, looked at the commanders under him, and then said, "Elites of the empire, everyone gathered here this time for only one purpose, that is, to completely annihilate the Luoxiao bandits in the Tiger Roaring Mountains, wipe out the resistance forces in western Liaoxi in one fell swoop, and lay the foundation for the establishment of a prosperous and stable eastern three provinces." ”
"Hey!"
All the Japanese commanders responded in unison and bowed at the same time.
Jiro Tamon looked around at the commanders present, and finally his eyes fell on Shoichi Shimamoto, who was in the corner, and he spoke, "Shoichi Shimamoto, do you have any good suggestions for this sweep?" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on this young officer with Duomen Erlang's name, and some people who knew the inside story knew that he had commanded the army to fight against the Huya Special Operations Brigade led by Luo Xiao in the Beida Battalion, so he had a certain understanding of Luo Xiao and the Huya Special Operations Brigade.
Seeing that Jiro Tamon pointed at him, a trace of excitement flashed on Shoichi Shimamoto's handsome face, but then he regained his calm, which made Jiro Tamen greatly appreciated, he took a step forward, raised his hand and saluted, "Report to the general, according to my experience with Luo Xiao, this person is bold and careful, his tactics are very flexible, not only brave and abnormal, but also very good at grasping the gap of the opponent to attack, he is a very difficult opponent." ”
Hearing Shimamoto Shoichi say this, the other officers all talked about it, they always felt that Shimamoto Shoichi's words were too sensational, no matter how powerful Luo Xiao was, he was limited, and he would not be as divine as he said.
Jiro Tamon didn't say anything, but continued to look at Shoichi Shimamoto, waiting for him to continue.
"His tactics are based on surprise attacks, which coincides with the characteristics of his Huya Special Operations Brigade, and it can be said that he cannot be prevented." Shoichi Shimamoto took a deep breath and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, his primary targets are our troops' headquarters, warehouses, supply depots, arsenals, and heavy firepower units. ”
Before the words fell, an earth-shattering explosion was heard outside, and the roof of the headquarters trembled, and dust fell from the roof, making everyone look at each other.
"Let's go see what's going on?" The officer on duty shouted, and ordered someone to go out and listen.
There was not much time, and the person who went to inquire about the news returned, and the report was that the mountain artillery wing of the 8th Separate Mixed Brigade had been attacked, four field guns and six mountain guns were blown up, and more than 100 boxes of shells were lost, more than 500 rounds.
All the Japanese officers were speechless: this Luo Xiao really gave Shimamoto a face, and started to act as he spoke.
In any case, people believed Shimamoto's analysis and began to study countermeasures, but of course there were only a limited number of methods that could be used, and the only way to do so was to strengthen vigilance and increase forces.
Itazu Naoen took a step forward and raised his hand towards Tamen Jiro and gave a military salute, "General, I think we should launch an attack on Tiger Roaring Ridge as soon as possible, the more we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be." ”
Everyone agreed, and everyone also felt that if it was consumed like this, the loss was too great and had no effect.
Domen Jiro stretched out his hand, pressed it down, stopped the people's discussion, and then said, "Everyone, the attack on Tiger Roaring Ridge will start soon, but now there is still one person to wait. ”
"Who are you waiting for?" The Japanese officers looked around, and when they saw that the commanders of the various units participating in the sweep were all in the house, they were all a little puzzled who he was waiting for.
"General, who are you waiting for?" Someone asked.
Jiro Duomen smiled slightly, "Captain Hikaru Fujita." ”
Before he could finish speaking, someone ran in from outside the door to report that Hikaru Fujita had arrived with his Nobunaga special attack team and asked to see him.
Jiro Duomen stood up and waved his hand, "Let him in." ”
The herald had not been down for a long time, and the footsteps of leather boots rang out outside the door, and Hikaru Fujita walked in with Hirobumi Sakai, Aoki Lang, and Watanabe. As soon as he saw Jiro Tamen, he hurriedly saluted, and then stood aside.
Duomen Jiro smiled, he looked at Fujita Hikaru and several generals under him, and said, "Fujita Hikaru, you said that you have a way to capture Tiger Roaring Ridge, I don't know what method it seems to be?" ”
Hearing Jiro Tamen say this, all the Japanese officers turned their eyes and fell on Hikaru Fujita.
Hikaru Fujita took two steps forward unhurriedly, placed a map on the table, and gently unfolded it.
This is a detailed map of the terrain around Tiger Roaring Ridge, and even every small ditch is clearly marked, but in the area of Tiger Roaring Ridge, a radius of dozens of kilometers is very simple, almost blank.
"General, I'm talking about taking Tiger Roaring Ridge with fewer casualties." Even in the face of Jiro Tamon, the division commander of the Kwantung Army and a well-known major general in the Japanese Army, Hikaru Fujita still looked calm, but replied very respectfully, "I learned from a nearby mountain folk that in addition to the mountain road in front of the Tiger Roaring Ridge, there is also a secret path leading to Tiger Roaring Mountain. ”
"The Way?!"
The Japanese officers talked a lot, and they didn't think that Hikaru Fujita could even ask about this, and it seemed that they had put a lot of effort into it.
Fujita Hikaru nodded and replied, "Yes, a mountaineer who often goes up the mountain to collect medicine told us that in addition to the mountain road in front of Tiger Roaring Ridge, there is also a very steep path in the back mountain, which can also reach the peak smoothly. ”
With a "boom", those Japanese officers blew up the pot, so isn't it equivalent to opening a back door behind Luo Xiao and them in Tiger Roaring Ridge.
Shoichi Shimamoto was calmer than those Japanese officers, and while he was excited, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Captain Fujita, since the mountain people can discover this secret path, how do you ensure that others don't know about this path?" ”
"Yes, if Tiger Roaring Ridge also knows about this secret path and sets up an ambush on it, then what awaits us is a trap." Itazu Naoon also frowned, seemingly worried.
