Chapter 453: Victory or defeat is unpredictable

Ping'an County, the headquarters of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Division Commander!" Ryokazu Yamamoto rushed into the office and reported to Inoue Sadawei, "According to the information provided by the insider, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is assembling in the area of Xiaolizhuang.

"Has the Independent Regiment begun to assemble?" Inoue Sadawei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, the assembly has begun." Ryoichi Yamamoto nodded heavily, his expression excited.

"Let's go, let's go to the war room!" Inoue Sadae patted Ryoichi Yamamoto on the shoulder, and the two came to the war room together.

Since there is no major combat mission now, there is no one in the war room, only an operational staff officer named Higashi Fujio is doing a war game.

"Higashifuji-kun, what are you doing?" Ryoichi Yamamoto asked.

"Hello." Higashifuji Yuki paused, and said, "Division commander, chief of staff, I'm doing a war game. ”

"Wargame deduction?" Inoue Sadae said strangely, "Can you even perform war games alone?" ”

"Hello." Higashifushi paused again, and said with a frown, "Because I was really bored in the dormitory, I came to the war room and played wargames with my left hand and right hand. ”

"Haha, what a militant." Inoue Sadawei said with a smile, "Now you don't need to deduce the left and right hand war games, immediately call all the staff officers above the second lieutenant level in the division and regiment headquarters." ”

Hearing this, Higashifushi suddenly perked up and said, "Division commander, is there going to be a combat operation?" ”

"Higashifuji-kun, hurry up and gather the staff officers." Ryoichi Yamamoto said, "Our 69th Division is about to launch an offensive operation of unprecedented scale, and if it is planned properly, it is likely to wipe out the anti-Japanese forces in the northwest of Shanxi in one fell swoop!" As a result, the public security situation in the northwest of Shanxi Province has been completely improved. ”

"Hello!" Higashifuji paused heavily and went in high spirits.

Inoue Sadae and Yamamoto Ryoichi's eyes fell on the sand table at once.

"Xiao Li Zhuang?" Inoue Sadawei's eyes moved on the sand table and asked, "Yamamoto-kun, where is Xiao Li Zhuang?" ”

Yamamoto Ryoichi's eyes followed the sand table for a long time, but he didn't find Xiao Li Zhuang until the end, and said helplessly at the moment: "Division Commander, Xiao Li Zhuang is not on the sand table." ”

"Yaga, tear down and redo." Inoue Zhen was angry and pushed the sand table away.

Then, Inoue Sadae and Ryoichi Yamamoto went to the map attached to the wall.

This map is the overall map of the northwest of Shanxi, which is available in all county towns and large towns, but some remote villages are not marked.

Fortunately, Xiaolizhuang is still a big village.

So Yamamoto Ryoichi quickly found Korisho on the map.

"Division Commander, here." Ryoichi Yamamoto pointed to the map and said, "Korisho is here." ”

Inoue Zhenwei picked up a ruler and measured the distance between Xiaolizhuang and Heyuan County, and said: "From Xiaolizhuang to Heyuan County, it is less than ten kilometers!" ”

"If you want to say that the large-scale assembly of the independent regiment has nothing to do with Heyuan County, who would believe it?"

"Hello." Yamamoto Ryoshi said for a moment, "The sudden assembly of the Independent Regiment must be for the county seat of Heyuan. ”

"This is also human nature, this area of Heyuan County has always been the activity area of the independent regiment, especially in several ambushes in Shuanghe Town, and the independent regiment has repeatedly hit the 1st mobile column of the imperial army!"

"In the latest ambush, even the Matsushima squadron and the Sato squadron were wiped out!"

"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army spent so much effort to finally pull out the stronghold turrets on the periphery of Heyuan County, and it was ready to launch an attack on Heyuan County, but I never thought that overnight, Heyuan County would become the territory of the Jin Sui Army!"

"No matter who encounters this kind of thing, I'm afraid they will be half angry, let alone Li Yunlong, a master who refuses to suffer?"

"So, if nothing else, this time the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army will definitely fight!"

"Yo Xi!" Inoue Zhenwei nodded happily, and said, "Yamamoto-kun, if the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army really go to war, who do you think will have a greater chance of winning?" ”

"Division commander, this is really difficult to judge." Ryo Yamamoto, "The main thing is that we don't know how many people there are in the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, although we have also installed some internal lines within the Independent Regiment, but the positions of these internal lines are not high, and the confidential information they can access is very limited, so we can only make a rough judgment." ”

"Judging from the current situation, the strength of the independent regiment should be between 7,000 and 10,000 people! No more than 12,000 people! ”

"If you count their local forces, the total number should be around 18,000."

"18,000 people?" Inoue Zhenwei said, "In this case, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army may not be the opponent of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army." ”

"It stands to reason that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can't defeat the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army." Yamamoto Liang nodded, and then said, "The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is still only an infantry regiment in name, but in fact, its strength is no less than a division, and this is still a semi-American machinery division, at least half of the troops have been changed to American equipment. ”

"The combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is not only superior to that of the Jin Sui Army, but also comparable to the so-called Central Army, and its equipment advantage is enough to make up for the disadvantage in terms of the number of troops."

"Therefore, on paper alone, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can be said to have no chance of winning."

"On paper?" Inoue Sadawei said, "Yamamoto-kun, you seem to have something to say?" ”

"Haiyi, division commander Mingjian." Yamamoto Liang was stunned, "If it were replaced by another Eighth Route Army unit, I am afraid it would be difficult to turn over in the face of such a situation, but if it is Li Yunlong, everything is still unknown!" ”

"Because Li Yunlong is the best at military and dangerous moves, he can always fight a bloody way in a desperate situation!"

"The battle of Cangyunling is like this, the battle of Kuitouling is like this, the battle of Lijiapo is like this, and the anti-sweeping operation last year and the later battle of Taiyuan are still like this."

"So for Li Yunlong, you must not use common sense!"

"And more importantly, there is a Hades under Li Yunlong's command!"

"Hades?" Hearing this, Inoue's expression suddenly froze, "The man who defeated Yamamoto Kazuki? ”

"Yes." Ryo Yamamoto, "There is a small force with extremely strong combat effectiveness under the Hades King, according to the information obtained by the insider, this small force is called the Wolf Tooth Squad, although the number is less than ten people, but its combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying!" Under certain conditions, its destructive power is not inferior even to a cavalry wing! ”

"Yaga!" Inoue said, "A cavalry wing? ”

"So, this victory is unpredictable." Ryoichi Yamamoto shook his head.
