After the anger, Okamura Ninji forced himself to calm down, his eyes swept over the people present, and began to humbly listen to the suggestions of his subordinates, and plan the next encirclement tactic.

He clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he would gather and annihilate the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment on the south bank of the Huai River, west of the Jinpu railway line.

With the endless shame brought to him by Xue Yangchen and the Tiger Ben Regiment!

"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the main forces of the 6th and 28th Divisions be transferred back from the Hongze Lake area, leaving only a small number of troops to continue the pursuit of the Chinese Tiger Ben Regiment that has fled to the Hongze Lake area.

The main force was all used to encircle and suppress the Chinese who appeared in the Bengbu area. The main force of the army! The chief of staff of the devil raised his head slightly, and stated his opinion with a respectful expression.

Okamura Ninji nodded when he heard this: "Well, what you said has some truth in the chief of staff, but it still needs to be improved!" ”

"I want to hear about it." The chief of staff of the devil bowed his head slightly.

"First, order the 28th Division and the 6th Division, each with a field wing, together with the local garrison and the Imperial Allied Army, to fight against the Chinese who fled to the area of Hongze Lake. The army imposed a military blockade.

For the time being, the purpose is not to annihilate the enemy, but to prevent them from moving westward again, and China in the Bengbu area. The main forces of the army converged.

Of course, if there is a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop, it would be great!

Second, the 3rd Division was ordered to send effective troops to continue to cross the river to the south and participate in the pursuit and suppression of the Chinese Tiger Regiment, and also to unite all the garrisons of the Jiangbei Zhucheng and the Imperial Union Army to set up a blockade along the Huai River.

Don't give this share to China. The army crossed the Huai River north again and had the opportunity to escape into Huaibei!

The same is true of the 28th Division and the 6th Division, in addition to sending the main force to encircle and suppress the Huben Regiment, they must also leave part of their troops behind and block the Chuzhou-Bengbu section of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway together with the defenders of Mingguang and Chuzhou.

In case the main force of the Chinese Tiger Regiment once again crossed the Jinpu railway line and fled eastward, heading to the area of Hongze Lake to join the part that arrived first!

Third, with the 8th and 9th mixed brigades as the mainstay, the 28th Division, the 6th Division, and the 3rd Division each formed a large army to encircle and suppress, starting from Bengbu, Mingguang, Dingyuan, Hefei and other places, and advancing westward by pulling a net method.

Step by step, the activity space of the Tiger Ben regiment was compressed, and they were driven back to Huoqiu, Jinzhai and other areas of Dabie Mountain, and finally encircled and annihilated them in the eastern foothills of Dabie Mountain. ”

Okamura Ninji spoke out about his considered deployment and plan.

After hearing this, several devil staff officers present couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

At the same time, he cast an admiring gaze at Okamura Ninji.

The major general's chief of staff frowned and thought for a moment, then added: "Your Excellency, commander, if China. . . The army has fled into the mountains again, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to exterminate it, right? ”

Okamura nodded and said, "Well, your worries are not unreasonable!" ”

After pondering for a while, Okamura Ninji raised his head and said: "I will send a telegram to the front army headquarters for help, requesting that the command of the 13th Division stationed in Xinyang and Huangchuan will be lent to us temporarily, as long as the 13th Division cooperates in the east."

We'll be able to reunite and annihilate the tiger before we enter the mountain!

Besides, we have more than 100,000 troops, and after several encirclements and suppression, even if this hateful tiger regiment can finally escape into the mountains, there will definitely not be too many troops left.

As long as we keep it tightly sealed, we can starve them to death in the mountains just by starving! ”

After hearing this, the chief of staff of the major general finally showed a satisfied and reassuring smile, and complimented: "Your Excellency the commander is resourceful, this time our army will definitely be able to win, annihilate the Tiger Regiment, and kill Yang Chen!" Make this immortal feat! ”

For the compliment of his subordinates, Okamura Ninji gladly accepted it, and a confident smile appeared on his face again, this time, he was confident enough that he would be able to annihilate the Tiger Regiment!

Then, the old devil began to order the implementation of his own strategic plan.

…………

On the other hand, Yang Chen, who had already evacuated Bengbu, never dreamed that he would take Bengbu and Huainan by himself, although he had achieved the initial purpose of mobilizing the Japanese army.

But it also brought great danger to the siege troops!

……

At the same time, Yan Laoxi, who was far away in Shanxi, had been silently paying attention to the movements of Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan.

Not only because this is a heroic unit with outstanding achievements, but also because this is the elite under his second war zone!

Especially not long ago, Yang Chen had already called him back, and as soon as the opportunity was right, he would immediately lead the army back to Shanxi.

On this day, Yan Laoxi was working in his office.

There was a rush of footsteps, and when I looked up, my attendant guard adjutant Zhang Riming had already walked in in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Riming walked into the office, he stood up and saluted him: "Boss, I just got the news that Yang Chen, under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, took advantage of his unpreparedness to seize two important places in Huainan and Bengbu!"

Not only did they commit nearly 10,000 traitorous enemies, but they also destroyed the Jinpu Railway and blew up the Huaihe Railway Bridge, paralyzing it for at least a few months!

So that the supply of troops and materials of the Japanese army in the north and south could not be transported in time. ”

Rao is Yan Laoxi was very calm at this time, and he had a new understanding of Yang Chen and his tiger group, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

A little unbelievable: "Didn't the previous intelligence say that the Japanese army mobilized three divisions and increased a large number of local troops, and drove the tiger group like a lost dog, and its destruction was imminent?" Why did Yang Chen win Bengbu and Huainan in a row? ”

Zhang Riming couldn't hide his smile and said: "General, the previous intelligence may not be accurate, after all, in order to suppress the morale of our army, the Japanese side's intentional propaganda also occupies a certain factor.

Looking at it now, although the Tiger Regiment was defeated, it retreated without chaos, and the officers and men of the whole regiment, under the leadership of Yang Chen, the head of the Yang Regiment, crisscrossed the Jianghuai River, galloped and killed the enemy, and they were simply at ease.

Otherwise, there would be no such rare victory!

Moreover, it is said that this battle behind enemy lines was not initiated by Yang Chen on his own initiative?

Speaking of which, it's still the little devil who is led by Yang Chen's nose! ”

"Yang Chen is really a rare good general!"

I remembered that all war zones across the country were frequently reported to be defeated, the city was lost and the land was lost, and even his Shanxi was occupied by the Japanese army.

Only the Tiger Ben Regiment was able to recover two cities in a row and cut off the smooth flow of the Tianjin-Pudong railway line in the face of the encirclement and suppression of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops, Yan Laoxi couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, the decision became clearer.

Bai Jiansheng, Li Delin, and the one above who doesn't reuse Yang Chen, he will reuse it!

Once Yang Chen returns to Shanxi smoothly, he will do his best to build an elite division for him.

When the time comes, recovering Shanxi and re-becoming the king of Shanxi will be just around the corner!

"Yes, General Seat, if Yang Chen's men can have tens of thousands of people, I think he will be able to sweep through Jianghuai, and even wipe out all the 100,000 Japanese troops!" Zhang Riming couldn't help but sigh.
