Kazuo Okamoto looked at Noyuichiro again, and then laughed.

Inoue Sadawei was confused by the laughter of the two people, and asked with a frown: "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Commander, what are you laughing at?" Is what I'm saying ridiculous? ”

"Oh no, no, no, we didn't mean that." Kazuo Okamoto waved his hand again and again, "You're right, this tactic really doesn't work well in the mountains. ”

"Especially in barren mountainous areas like northwest Shanxi, the effect cannot be guaranteed."

"Because of the complicated terrain in the mountainous areas, as soon as the imperial army goes, the people of China will immediately hide."

"The reason why the Shanxi 1st Army's many sweeps of the Eighth Route Army organized before had little effect is because of this, so what you just said can be said to be to the point."

Yuichiro Nozo continued, "So Inoue-kun, do you have any better suggestions?" ”

"I don't dare to say that there is any better suggestion, I can only say that I have a preliminary idea." Inoue Sadawei continued, "I think that if you want to exterminate the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army in the northwest of Jin, you must first do a good job in the defense of the security area. ”

"That is, to base yourself on the defense first, and then think about the offense."

"Taking into account the actual situation in the northwest of Shanxi, I am ready to divide the thirteen counties of the entire defense region into three independent parts, and each defense region will perform its own duties."

"They are the left flank defense zone, the central defense zone and the right flank defense zone."

"The Left Wing Defense District is responsible for the security of the six counties west of the Tongpu Railway."

"The right-wing defense area is responsible for the security of the seven counties east of the Tongpu railway."

"The Central Defense Region is responsible for the security of the plain county town and the Tongpu Railway."

"The central defense area is under the responsibility of the team directly under the division headquarters and the 10th Independent Combat Vehicle Brigade."

"The left flank defense area is under the responsibility of the 59th Infantry Brigade, and in order to strengthen the field capability of the 59th Infantry Brigade, a mountain artillery brigade will be strengthened, as well as a cavalry brigade."

"The right flank defense area will be under the responsibility of the 60th Infantry Brigade, and a mountain artillery brigade will also be strengthened, as well as a cavalry brigade."

"In this way, we can not only ensure that there are enough garrison troops in the three defense areas, but also have sufficient field combat capabilities, that is, in the art of war, they can attack and retreat."

"Yo Si." Kazuo Okamoto nodded happily.

Yuichiro Noye continued: "The division of Inoue-kun's three defense zones is really targeted! However, in order to do a good job in the 13 counties in the northwest of Shanxi, the 69th Division alone is not enough. ”

"Your Excellency Commander refers to the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army?" Inoue Sadawei said with extreme disdain, "With all due respect, this force has no combat effectiveness at all. ”

"Expecting them to deal with the Eighth Route Army or the Jin Sui Army is wishful thinking."

"Inoue-kun misunderstood." Noyuichiro waved his hand and said, "Of course, the Imperial Army can't count on the Imperial Alliance Army to deal with the Eighth Route Army or the Jin Sui Army, but the garrison tasks of various county towns and strongholds can be shared by the Imperial Army. ”

"That's right." Inoue said, "It's delusional to let the Imperial Alliance Army attack, but it's still okay to defend." ”

"That's what I'm talking about." Noyuichiro said, "With the Imperial Allied Army sharing the task of garrisoning, the Imperial Army can also concentrate its forces as much as possible, and once it is found that the Eighth Route Army or the Jin Sui Army has signs of gathering or about to move, they can quickly attack and gather superior forces to annihilate them!" ”

While he was talking, the adjutant came in again and reported: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Cai Sang, commander of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and Wei Sang, commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade, ask to see you. ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." Kazuo Okamoto smiled and said, "Please let them in." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the brigade commanders of the two mixed brigades had not yet arrived, Inoue Zhenwei said: "Your Excellency, the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army was originally stationed in the Ping'an area, and it is logical to reassign it to the command of the 69th Division. ”

"But the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army was originally stationed on the front line of Yangquan, so why was it assigned to the 69th Division?"

"It's very simple, because the security task of your 69th Division is too heavy." Noyuichiro said in a deep voice, "In order to reduce your garrison tasks and allow your 69th Division to maintain sufficient field combat capabilities, His Excellency the General specially instructed me to assign the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army to the battle sequence of your 69th Division. ”

"Hello!" Inoue Zhenwei snapped and said solemnly, "The humble position will never disappoint the expectations of His Excellency the General." ”

While speaking, Cai Xiongfei, the brigade commander of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army, and Wei Jie, the brigade commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade, had already walked in.

After introducing each other, Kazuo Okamoto smiled and said to Inoue Sadawei, "Inoue-kun, Cai Sang has a big gift for you." ”

After speaking, Kazuo Okamoto turned his head to Cai Xiongfei and said, "Cai Sang, now you can say your big gift." ”

After listening to the translation and translation, Cai Xiongfei said yes and said: "Your Excellency General, Commander Ye Yu, and General Inoue, this great gift of mine is the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. ”

"The 358th Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Jin Sui Army?" Inoue said, "What do you mean?" ”

Cai Xiongfei explained: "General Inoue doesn't know, I used to be a major general and deputy division commander of the 68th Division of the Jinsui Army, so I know many officers in the Jinsui Army. ”

"Qian Bojun, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, happens to be my old acquaintance."

"About a week ago, we met in Lijiazhen, and I originally thought that there would be a fierce battle between the two armies, but Qian Bojun strictly ordered his subordinates not to shoot."

"Afterwards, I sent someone to contact Qian Bojun secretly."

"Qian Bojun expressed his willingness to switch to the Nanjing Restoration government."

"However, he offered a relatively high price, and he hoped that his unit could be reorganized into a mixed brigade, and he would serve as the commander of the major general."

"Nani?" Inoue Sadawei frowned and said, "A battalion commander wants to be a brigade commander?" It's a lion's mouth! ”

Kazuo Okamoto laughed and said: "Inoue-kun, what you said is not right, not to mention that the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army was originally a reinforced regiment, and this Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion was originally equivalent to a regiment of the Zhi Na Army. ”

"What's more, the contribution of Qian Bojun's department is not just the strength of a battalion."

"Hello!" Inoue Zhenwei was stunned and said, "The anti-water of Qian Bojun's department has given the imperial army a good opportunity to solve the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yo Si." Kazuo Okamoto nodded happily and said, "Then, Inoue-kun, Cai Sang, and Wei Sang, the rest will be left to you." ”

After a pause, Kazuo Okamoto continued: "I hope that after a while, there will be no more troops in the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in the northwest of Jin!" ”

"Hello!" Inoue Sadae slammed his head.

Wei Jie and Cai Xiongfei also snapped and stood upright.
