After Li Ping collected the telegrams from the front, he immediately understood the power of Sugiyama's plan.

Ten ways to sweep, the Eighth Route Army has only two choices, one option is to fight a positional battle with the devils, block them all outside the base area, until the troops can no longer hold on, this should be what Sugiyama Moto wants to see the most.

Another option is to retreat while fighting, which can reduce casualties and delay time, but the consequences are equally serious, the devil's sweeping troops are like a big net, allowing the Eighth Route Army to slowly retreat and gather, and then compress the base of the Eighth Route Army, and finally encircle and eliminate.

This is the advantage of the advantage of military superiority, Li Ping saw through Sugiyama Yuan's thoughts, but he still had to find a way to deal with him.

"Division Commander, Sugiyama Yuan is really ruthless in such an arrangement, and our actions are probably within his expectations."

The political commissar can also see Sugiyama Moto's purpose clearly, and after the troop dispatch is exposed, all of Sugiyama's purpose is exposed.

"No, political commissar, Sugiyama Gen wants to fight a decisive battle, then I will fulfill him."

"Send a telegram to all the departments in the base area, immediately hide half of their troops, and lurk, and the rest of the troops will be carried out according to the regular operation, the advance of the devils will take time, order them, and retreat to Juye while fighting."

"The operation must be kept secret and not discovered by the devils."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the political commissar was shocked, Li Ping was preparing to have a positional battle with the devil here in Juye.

"Commander, isn't this too risky?"

The devil is full of ten road troops, and when the time comes, the troops will be surrounded, and there is no way back to retreat, Li Ping also let the front-line troops hide half of the troops, what is he going to do?

Seeing that the political commissar was puzzled, Li Ping opened his mouth and said: "Political commissar, we have to fight this positional battle early and late, rather than making Sugiyama Yuan proud, it is better for us to choose the battlefield." ”

"Also, I ordered the front-line troops to hide half of their troops, that is, so that these troops can jump out of the encirclement of the devils, whether we can survive it depends on their future actions with the chief of staff."

Now the political commissar understood that Li Ping's purpose was to hide his troops again, and then wait silently for the devils to advance, and the troops would reach the rear of the devils, which was better than retreating here to fight positional warfare.

After the political commissar understood this, he immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram, and the troops on the front line were shocked when they received the telegram, and they suddenly had all kinds of doubts when they thought that Li Ping dared to divide the troops at this time.

However, Li Ping's prestige in this unit is very high, and even if they don't understand it for the time being, they immediately carry it out.

The devils who swept all the way suddenly found that the Eighth Route Army's strength to block the attack had weakened a lot, and the various departments reported the information to Sugiyama Yuan, which immediately aroused Sugiyama Yuan's suspicions.

"Li Ping, Li Ping, what is your purpose?"

It's not that Sugiyama himself feels suspicious, he doesn't dare to despise any of Li Ping's actions, for the commander, any adjustment has a purpose.

"Order the intelligence department, the reconnaissance troops, and find out the reasons for the weakening of the Eighth Route Army's blockade."

Sugiyama didn't believe that Li Ping would let his troops sweep his base so easily, and the Eighth Route Army's abnormality had a conspiracy.

Sugiyama Yuan still didn't know Li Ping's purpose, three days after the devil's step-by-step advance, the Eighth Route Army's resistance suddenly became tough again, and Sugiyama Yuan still couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army suddenly looked like it was going to block the imperial army in place now.

Sugiyama Moto looked at the Eighth Route Army, which was constantly compressing the area of activity, and he seemed to understand something?

"Your Excellency, combined with various intelligence, we conclude that the Eighth Route Army's abnormality is preparing for the battlefield."

The intelligence officer's words made Sugiyama Moto look up and stare at him, and the intelligence officer continued: "Your Excellency, we have found that the Eighth Route Army is resting in this area of Juye, and it seems that it is going to fight a decisive battle with us here. ”

"Oh"

Sugiyama Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, if the Eighth Route Army really built a position in this area of Juye, then the abnormality of the previous few days could be explained clearly.

After all, the construction of positions requires the participation of troops, especially the positions of such large battlefields require time and a lot of manpower.

"Yo Xi, it seems that Li Ping also knows that there is no way out, and he is ready to fight us to the death."

Sugiyama Yuan figured out his doubts, and immediately became happy, and the decisive battle with Li Ping was the result he was most looking forward to.

"Order the front-line troops to continuously compress the Eighth Route Army to the direction of Juye, and according to Li Ping's arrangement, ten days later will be the time for us to fight a decisive battle with them."

Sugiyama Moto's order, the speed and direction of the encirclement and suppression of the front-line devils changed slightly, but the Eighth Route Army was still unusually cooperative, and it seemed that the purpose of the two sides was the same.

Li Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he received the telegram from the front, and said to the political commissar: "It seems that we have finally concealed the matter of our hidden troops, Sugiyama Yuan, and now those troops have escaped the encirclement of the devils and are currently lurking in the dark, which can be regarded as a key step." ”

The political commissar smiled when he heard this, and said: "This is all thanks to the strong support of the people in the base area for us, they are helping us repair our positions in the middle of the night, so that we have the opportunity to hide from the devils." ”

Li Ping nodded heavily, all the trenches here in Juye were volunteered by the people to help, so Li Ping could rest assured that he could boldly hide his troops, after all, such a large position really needed a lot of people.

"Telegraph man, send a telegram to Brigade Commander Chen Zhong, the troops that jumped to the outer line are under his command, and tell him that they can only do it after we exchange fire with the devils in Juye, and the target is in the direction of Jining."

"Also send a telegram to the chief of staff, asking him to continue to hide and not let Sugiyama Mototo's discovery."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the political commissar immediately smiled bitterly, the troops were divided into three-fifths, and Li Ping also asked them not to move for the time being, all in order to give the devil a fatal blow in the future.

Thinking that General Li Ping commanded 30,000 troops to face the siege of devils, the political commissar was shocked when he thought about it, there were too many devils surrounding him this time.

"Political commissar, continue to build positions, after the start of the big war, we must hold out for more than three days or even longer, only if we drag the devil, our two-way troops on the outside line will give Sugiyama Yuan a big surprise."

The political commissar nodded heavily and said: "The position we have built can withstand the bombing of aircraft, but I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the repeated attacks of the devils." ”

Li Ping smiled when he heard this, and said: "Our troops are still resisting, Sugiyama Gen wants to fight a positional battle with us here in Juye, and he will need at least ten days. ”

"I'm going to reduce his troops in the next ten days, political commissar, now everything here is under your control, and I want to go to the front."

The political commissar nodded, he knew that Li Ping was under a lot of pressure, and said: "I will report the news at any time, you are careful on the front line." ”

Li Ping nodded, walked out of the headquarters with the guards, and rushed to the front line.

Li Ping was rushing to the front line, and on the other side, Sugiyama Yuan's face changed, looking at the telegram in his hand, he was murderous.

"Your Excellency, we are progressing smoothly at the moment, what do they mean?"
