Umezu Mijiro was a little embarrassed by the eyes of the chief of staff, and his idea was really wrong at this time, but the doubts in his heart still did not let go.

Up to now, the transportation has continued, although there have been twists and turns, but until now the troops of the Eighth Route Army do not seem to have come close to the railway.

The battle on this front is simply a defensive battle, but the combat capability of the troops of the 18th Route Army seems to be really a little worse this time.

"Chief of Staff, I still don't feel right, I've read the information sent from all over the country, and many of the areas we have abandoned are now occupied by those guerrillas and militia of the Eighth Route Army. Chief of Staff, think about it, the Eighth Route Army is fighting with all its strength! With such a long line, they still haven't succeeded in hitting. ”

"I'm not ignoring the exploits of our front-line troops, but I just have a feeling that the situation is very wrong."

Umezu Mijiro still spoke, and at this time, the chief of staff of the devil also knew that Umezu Mijiro was serious, and with his character, he would never mention this matter again and again.

"Commander, can you elaborate on how you feel or what you have noticed?"

After the chief of staff of the devil asked, he looked forward to it, and at this time Umezu Mijiro was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "There will be no other discoveries at that time, just a feeling, by the way, it is a, a feeling of acting." ”

"Acting?"

The chief of staff of the devil frowned, what kind of play can the troops of the Eighth Route Army play?

Both of them bowed their heads, and after a few minutes, the chief of staff of the devil raised his head and said softly: "Commander, do you think there is such a possibility, that is, the troops of the Eighth Route Army know that it is a great threat to them to put so many tanks and equipment here, so release water for us to transport." ”

"They mobilized so many troops to fight, will it just give an explanation to the Soviet Union, after all, people don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves, let alone between countries."

After the chief of staff of the devil finished speaking, Umezu Mijiro's eyes lit up a little, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said: "There is such a possibility, but in such a situation, they should not do it, after all, the alliance still needs to be trusted." ”

Umezu Mijiro's head hurt even more after speaking, he wanted to give up the analysis, and at the same time wanted to think that he was too careful, but this thought kept popping up in his heart.

A few minutes later, the two discussed several possibilities and were rejected one by one, and Umezu Mijiro finally smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it, let's just think of us as too careful!" ”

The chief of staff of the devil narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and he was heartbroken, but now I'm afraid it's not, because he also feels that something is wrong.

"Commander, I will order the intelligence department to investigate, and also compile the information found by the various departments on the front line, maybe we can solve our doubts."

Umezu Mijiro nodded slightly, and said, "Do it like this, and if you find an abnormality, report it in time." ”

"Hi"

Umezu Yoshijiro temporarily extinguished the flame of doubt, and on the other side, Commander Liu received the telegram, and after reading it, he smiled.

"Although I don't know the process, the layout can be successful, and I believe they will also pay a huge price."

The political commissar nodded heavily when he heard this, and said, "When the matter comes, we should also fully cooperate with them." ”

"According to intelligence, the tank equipment transported by Umezu Mijiro to the Devil's Far East Military Group is a total of ten divisions, and so far, a total of six have been transported."

"Commander, we must inform Lao Li and them, the time to start is almost up, if the transportation of Umezu Mijiro is completed, we will not have a chance."

Commander Liu nodded, exhaled and said, "It's almost time to do it, as long as we capture and destroy the remaining equipment on the Linjiang side, it will be much easier for us to fight in the future." ”

"Order the divisions to slowly switch from offense to defense, and each division must vaguely cooperate with the operation to intercept Umezu Mijiro's regional troops."

"Yes"

Commander Liu's telegram was quickly distributed, and when Li Ping received it, he burst out laughing, reached out and picked up his pen to draw a circle on the map of the Sidaogou area.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Li Ping didn't do it randomly, Xiong Cheng understood this very well, and he opened his mouth when he looked at the circle drawn on the map.

"The transfer has been completed, and the next thing is to encircle and besiege."

Captain Zhou blurted out when he heard this: "Surround but not annihilate?" ”

"Wrong, if you have the opportunity, you have to do it, if you don't have the opportunity, you have to stick to Lao Li and they take Linjiang as the limit, if you can't do anything, you have to leave."

"Hahahaha"

The people in the headquarters laughed, although this is the case, but as long as the Linjiang side is taken, these devils will definitely not be able to escape.

Several people gathered around the map, and Li Ping pointed to the map with his hand and said: "At present, Yamada Takayuki's mobilized troops are constantly coming, and the chief of staff and the troops are coming from our left flank, so the blocking and advancing of the left flank will be handed over to him." ”

"I have ordered Lao Sun's cavalry to go over to meet the chief of staff, his task is one, and after the chief of staff begins to advance, he will quickly penetrate the area between the Sidaogou area and the Linjiang with the mobility of the cavalry, dig trenches, and bury mines, as long as he can prevent the devils from retreating, that is his task."

Speaking of this, Li Ping looked at a few people, and then said: "The right flank breakthrough is completed by the old party's detachment, and your detachment has two tasks, first, to break through and encircle, and second, to cover Xiong Cheng's detachment." ”

"Yes, Captain"

Li Ping set his eyes on Xiong Cheng and said: "Old Xiong, after Lao Fang's detachment covers your action, your detachment will make a detour from the right flank, and then converge with Lao Sun's detachment, and the task of your two detachments is one, to carry the troops that the devil retreated after discovering the situation." ”

"Remember, we need to move quickly, and Takayuki Yamada must complete the siege before he discovers the anomaly."

"Yes, Captain."

The command headquarters began to get busy, several detachment leaders went down to prepare, and the captain of the Zhou detachment looked at a few people and said softly: "Captain, leave me a detachment in this direction, what should I do if the devils attack after they are mobilized?" ”

Li Ping looked at the worried Captain Zhou, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, don't forget one thing, the chief of staff's side is the side that starts to act, once he acts, the devil will inevitably be distracted after discovering the situation, and we are acting one after another, and the most difficult thing at that time should be Xiong Cheng's side, not our side." ”

"Of course, when the old side and they assemble to prepare for action, you still have to carry it."

Captain Zhou was completely dumbfounded, captain, what is the difference between your explanation and no explanation, isn't that what I'm worried about?

Watching Li Ping turn to a corner to sit, Captain Zhou's face twitched, and he quickly stood up and left the headquarters, he had to be prepared, otherwise it would be a joke if that gap was caught by the devil.
