To organize this siege and annihilation campaign, Xue Boling mobilized more than 100,000 troops.

The combat effectiveness of the various units of the 1st Corps was uneven, and the only elite unit with strong combat effectiveness was the ace 74th Army, and most of the rest of the troops were the Cantonese Army.

However, even the elite units of the national army could not be compared with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops.

If we compare the number of troops on both sides, the Chinese army is nearly ten times that of the Japanese 106th Division.

Besieging more than 10,000 devils with ten times the force is not a trivial matter, and even this force is a little less.

It may be possible for more than 100,000 people to defeat more than 10,000 people, but it is simply an impossible task to completely annihilate the 106th Division of the devils.

The combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the rest of the troops were not comparable to those of the security regiment, and the 1st Corps could only concentrate superior forces to surround the enemy and then annihilate them one by one.

The various divisions that received the order sent telegrams to the 1st Corps in response, and reported their respective positions on the march.

At this time, the military meeting and the officers in the war room dispersed and left.

Li Hong glanced at the map, paid attention to the Japanese troops near Wanjialing, and then he reminded Xue Boling: "Sir Xue, we seem to have missed one point, once the Japanese 106th Division is surrounded by our army on all sides, it will definitely ask for help from friendly troops nearby, and the Japanese 27th Division will definitely reinforce at all costs at the first time." ”

"The 27th Division of the Japanese Army?"

When Wu Yuejin and Xue Boling heard the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Previously, the Japanese 27th Division was defeated by the 6 divisions of the 1st Corps at Baishui Street, and the troops of the Japanese 27th Division suffered heavy casualties and were resting.

How is it possible for a crippled army to organize reinforcements?

Of course, Li Hong's prediction is not a complete blind guess, he is a reasonable and well-founded analysis, so he dares to say such a thing.

"Chief Wu, Chief Xue, the Japanese 106th Division went deep into the hinterland of Wanjialing alone, not only to stab a knife in the back of our defense area, the enemy also has a strategic intention, that is, to save the 27th Division, otherwise, the old devil of Okamura Ningji will not have the determination to make this risky move......"

"If the 106th Division is besieged, the Japanese 27th Division will definitely storm and approach the 106th Division, if we succeed in allowing the two Japanese divisions to join forces, then our encirclement plan will be a complete failure......

After listening to Li Hong's careful analysis, the two nodded to each other, and they both agreed with Li Hong's analysis and inference.

"Head Li is far-sighted and strategic thinking, you can think of this step in advance, Wu is sighing to himself!" Wu Yuejin said with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Li Hong shook his head and said humbly: "Chief Wu, my little bit of Taoism in front of you is just an axe, I just happened to think of it on a whim......"

Immediately, Wu Yuejin said to Xue Boling: "Brother Boling, Commander Li's worries are not unreasonable, the 27th Division of the Japanese army must be on guard, we must deploy in advance, and then send another force to Qilin Peak to block the ......."

After thinking about it, Xue Boling decided to send the 60th Division to enter the blockade and deploy the defense.

"Signal Soldiers!"

"Here!" The communications corps immediately ran over.

"Order the 60th Division to immediately assemble its troops and set off, and must rush to the pass around Qilin Peak before September 25, and complete the blocking and arming."

"Yes, Commander!"

The signal corps turned around and immediately conveyed the order to the 60th Division.

……

Wanjialing, Baiyun Mountain.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army went deep alone and marched along the mountain road to the area of Baiyun Mountain.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know that their interspersed intentions had been exposed, let alone that the national army troops had surrounded them on all sides.

The Japanese convoy was slowly driving along the narrow mountain road, and suddenly, the Japanese command vehicle stopped.

"The division commander has an order, all units stop advancing and stand by in place!!"

As soon as the units of the 106th Division of the Devil received the order, they immediately stopped the march.

"Hurry up, make a vigilance !!"

A group of devil infantry left the group, and they scattered and ran away to guard the surrounding 200-meter range.

At this time, a group of devil officers and generals got out of the car, led by the old devil Miura Ichitaro.

"Where are we in Wanjialing now???

Kazutaro Miura asked his subordinates beside him.

One of the devils replied: "Report to the division commander, our troops who reconnoitred the terrain are lost......"

"Yaga, what? Got lost? Miura Ichitaro's face sank and reprimanded his subordinates: "Are you a group of pigs?" How can you get lost if you have a map to refer to? ”

"Commander of the reporting division, the map in our hands was drawn in the early years, and after so many years, the landmarks have long been unrecognizable and referenced......

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of idiots!!"

Kazutaro Miura angrily tore off the map in his hand.

After a while, the devil messenger hurriedly ran over with a telegram.

"Report to the commander of the division, a telegram from the military headquarters!"

Kazutaro Miura took the telegram handed by the communications soldier, and after reading the telegram carefully, his face showed a bit of treacherous joy.

"Yo Xi, what an unexpected gain, I didn't expect Xue Boling's 1st Corps Headquarters to be in the Wanjialing area......

The Japanese troops who had just been sent out to reconnoiter the terrain had also detected some other situations, and the headquarters of the 1st Corps might be near here.

There was no accurate information before, and Miura Kazutaro was not sure if the scouts were correct.

However, the military headquarters of the devils obtained the information obtained by intercepting and deciphering it, as well as the reconnaissance planes sent to reconnoiter it, and all kinds of signs show that the Wanjialing area is where the headquarters of the 1st Corps is located.

Kazutaro Miura never dreamed that he was already lost, but he got into the nest of the headquarters of the 1st Corps.

"Division commander, are we moving closer to the 27th Division?" The chief of staff of the devil asked Kaitaro Miura.

"No, no, no......" Ichitaro Miura shook his head and said with a smile: "We are interspersed near the headquarters of the First Corps of the National Army, maybe Xue Boling is still in the dark, if there is a surprise attack, we will definitely be able to destroy their headquarters......"

"Ha Yi, what the division commander said is extremely true, if we attack suddenly, we will definitely be able to catch that soldier by surprise, and maybe we can capture their commander alive."

"Hahaha!!"

The devil officers laughed triumphantly.

The old devil Miura thought that his march was very secretive, but in fact, all the enemy's plans of action were mastered by Li Hong.

It was the devil commanders who were really in the dark, and the 1st Corps was just going to lure the enemy deeper.

Miura Kaitaro laughed a few times, and then shouted to the signal troops: "Order all units to continue to advance, encircle the perimeter of the headquarters of the First Corps, and prepare to attack the headquarters of the First Corps!" ”

"Hayi!"

The Devil Messenger ran away quickly.
