Sugiyama was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, the air force was gone, those fortifications were the stairs of hell, and if his troops wanted to clear the Eighth Route Army inside, they had to let the troops go through hell, and the casualties would definitely be heavy.

However, he also cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to let more of their troops enter the fortifications, which was simply digging a pit and then burying himself himself.

If he wants to take the fortified defense line in a short time, Sugiyama Yuan thinks that it is unlikely, unless he can direct his troops outside the fortifications like Li Ping did with himself, and then solve it.

But will the Eighth Route Army be fooled? Sugiyama Yuan fell silent, the battlefield configuration of the Eighth Route Army meant that they had to fight on both battlefields at the same time to weaken the strength of their encirclement.

Now it seems that they have basically succeeded, and the fortified defense line may not be able to waste more troops into it, in addition to blocking the Eighth Route Army's attack, their attention should be shifted to the position of the Eighth Route Army on the Dongping front.

Sugiyama Yuan's thoughts Li Ping didn't know for the time being, and when he learned that Huzi was successful, Li Ping suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders had decreased a lot.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Sugiyama Moto's attention to the chief of staff, and it can be held safely over there.

Now the important thing is their own side, the arrival of the 103rd Division means that the devils have an advantage in troops, and at the same time have an advantage in firepower.

"Division commander, Brigade Commander Chen Zhong telegraphed that the contact troops of the 103rd Division have converged with the devils of the 102nd Division, and they are still maintaining a three-way advance."

Li Ping nodded when he heard this, dispersing the troops was the inevitable choice of the devils, and if they wanted to block themselves, they had to do it.

"Division commander, there is also an intelligence, in addition to the two wings of the Yamamoto division stationed in Liaocheng, Linqing and other places, the remaining three wings on the battlefield are gathering, and they seem to be leaving the battlefield on the chief of staff."

Li Ping's light flickered at this time, so it was calculated that Sugiyama Yuan was going all out to deal with his own side.

Li Ping sat down and tapped his fingers on the table, Sugiyama Yuan was understandable like this, because the chief of staff was indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, and he could choke to death if he was not careful.

Now that Yamamoto is leading three wings to join the battlefield on his side, it means that he has no direction to break through.

If you want to solve the problem before you run out of ammunition, there is only one way, and that is to find a way to open a way.

Li Ping thought of this and looked at the map, one direction could solve Yamamoto, and then approached the chief of staff.

One direction is to fight badly or solve the 103rd Division, open the way back to the other side, and join the political commissar.

There are advantages and disadvantages in both directions, if you want to solve Yamamoto, an attack in this direction is the most likely, after all, there are only three wings, and you can solve them in a short time.

But the disadvantage is that after solving the problem of meeting with the chief of staff, the troops run out of ammunition to converge, which is simply a drag, and it also gives Sugiyama a good opportunity to compress himself.

Another direction is to solve the problem of the 103rd Division, which is currently confronting the troops with the 102nd Division, and the arrival of the 103rd Division is to block its own retreat.

If they want to go back, the 103rd Division is an obstacle, and if they want to solve them in two days, Li Ping thinks it is impossible, which is also the biggest difficulty.

However, there are also many benefits, as long as the troops return and enter the base in the direction of Jining, their troops will swim in the sea, and they can toss as much as they want when the time comes, and at the same time, they can also get supplies from the political commissar.

Li Ping slowly filtered the thoughts in his mind, and then summoned the staff officers in the headquarters to say his two thoughts.

Ten minutes later, a staff officer spoke: "Division commander, I am inclined to return to the political commissar, I have two considerations. ”

"First, if we meet with the chief of staff, although we can solve the problem, we have to think about the consequences, and we will also be trapped by devils in doing so."

"Although we can make the devils helpless with the help of fortifications, but we are passive in this way, in case the devils can't help us for a while, send troops to block us, and then sweep the base area, what will we do then?"

The headquarters was suddenly quiet, everyone was thinking about this, when the time comes, they will be short of ammunition except for sticking to the fortifications, it will be difficult to attack, if the devils sweep, the base area is an undefended area, allowing the devils to come and go freely.

"The second consideration, if we show signs of wanting to solve Yamamoto's actions, I am afraid that the 102nd and 103rd divisions will press on with all their might, and then we will have less space and no way out."

"So my idea is to open the passage back to the direction of Jining, and then meet with the political commissar, that is, the devils are coming, and we have a way to deal with them."

After the staff officer finished speaking, he sat down, Li Ping nodded lightly, and asked, "What else do you think?" Let's talk about it! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally, a staff officer spoke: "Division commander, I also agree to return to join the political commissar, but when we leave, the chief of staff will be alone." ”

"If the devil sees that our part is not easy to solve, and turns around and besieges the chief of staff, we will also fight back at that time, so as to give the devil more time to prepare."

This question is simply the key, whether the chief of staff can hold on is an important question, fight out now, and then come in, the devil is not muddy.

Li Ping looked at the map, thought carefully, and then said: "Behind the fortified defense line occupied by the chief of staff is our base area, and we will now send 10,000 troops back to the base area here. ”

"In this way, even if we retreat, the chief of staff can also be supported by the troops on the outside line."

Hearing this, the staff officers nodded and agreed with Li Ping's plan, and Li Ping continued: "After transferring 10,000 people, the rest of our troops will attack in several ways, and the goal is to return to meet the political commissar. ”

"As long as we break through the defense line of the 103rd Division, we will not be afraid that the 102nd Division will press over."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the staff officers immediately began to make a plan, Li Ping slowly walked outside the house, raised his head and looked outside, he worked hard to lure Sugiyama Yuan's troops out to fight, but he didn't expect to fall into it.

How on earth did these two divisions hide and return? Li Ping really wanted to figure out this question, and he really hit his weakness with one hand.

Li Ping is now calm, and on the other side, after Takashima commanded the troops in place, he immediately advised Okada to prepare to advance at the same time and block the Eighth Route Army here.

"The commander of the division, General Sugiyama Moto, telegraphed, let's be careful that the Eighth Route Army breaks through, and the first division of the Yamamoto Division has advanced over."

Takashima was stunned when he heard this, didn't he say that all the Eighth Route Army should be solved at the same time? What is Yamamoto running here for?

After receiving the telegram, Takashima was speechless, and the plane was bombed again, no wonder Sugiyama Mototo's focus was shifted.

"Send a telegram to General Sugiyama Moto, telling him that our department has blocked all the retreat routes of the Eighth Route Army and will cooperate with the 102nd Division to solve this part of the Eighth Route Army."

"Yes, Division Commander"

The devil was full of confidence, and on the other hand, after the political commissar learned of Li Ping's plan, he immediately thought about it.

Li Ping wanted to return to join him, and he agreed with this, and now the huge defense was extremely empty, and troops were needed to garrison it.

However, Li Ping wanted to break through the defense line of the 103rd Division, and the political commissar found it very difficult, not because he did not believe in Li Ping's command ability and the combat effectiveness of the troops, but because the ammunition in the hands of the troops was not much.

If there is a mistake, the troops lacking ammunition will definitely be blocked by the devils, and then Li Ping will have great ability, and he will not be able to fly out with his troops.

Thinking of this, the political commissar knew that he had to help Li Ping and let him return all the way.

"Send a telegram to the old side, ask him to gather the remaining troops in the base area, bring supplies and go to the direction of Dongping, and be ready to meet the division commander at any time."

When the political commissar spoke, the faces of the people in the room suddenly changed, and a director said: "Political commissar, this is the only force in our base area, and if we transfer it over, there are really no troops in the base area." ”

The political commissar shook his head when he heard this, and said in a serious tone: "If the division commander and they are blocked, do you know the consequences?" ”

"When the time comes, don't talk about the base area, even we will have to return to the place we just came from, in order to plan for the future."

The commissar's words made the people in the room stunned, and they all shook their heads to sober themselves, and the commissar continued: "Now it seems that we are empty, but the eyes of the devils are not on us at all, they are now staring at our troops. ”

"So we are safe before the division commander comes back, and when the division commander comes back, we will also have the strength to stop the devils, and the base area will be really safe at that time."

After the political commissar finished speaking, everyone immediately nodded in agreement, and then began to act according to the deployment of the political commissar.

Li Ping was shocked when he received the telegram from the political commissar, and then he reacted that the political commissar's analysis was correct, and at present, the devil is not staring at people.

Since the political commissar sent a unit over, Li Ping felt more sure of breaking through, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought that his basis would be divided into two by the devil.

"Division commander, chief of staff telegram."

When Li Ping received the telegram, it seemed that the chief of staff said that he could hold out for more than a month, and Li Ping was greatly surprised.

When he retreated, the siege of him was not a division, but close to the strength of three divisions.

"Go, telegraph to the Chief of Staff, I want to know the specifics."

Li Ping immediately returned to the command headquarters, this situation is very important, if the chief of staff can really hold on for a month, the situation will be very different.

Li Ping was waiting, and after reading the telegram, the chief of staff suddenly laughed, and said, "Go, report our windfall." ”

After the chief of staff finished speaking, everyone in the command headquarters laughed, and a regiment commander said: "Chief of staff, if the division commander knows that we have picked up so many things for nothing, the division commander must jump to his feet, and he will wait for the rice to be cooked!" ”

"Hahahaha"

The people in the command burst into laughter, and the chief of staff also laughed and said: "No way, whoever calls Lao Tzu lucky, he can find the materials buried by the devil in the repair of the fortifications, which is not the same life." ”

The command headquarters immediately burst into laughter, and on the other side, Li Ping looked at the list of supplies sent by the chief of staff, and suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water.

"Division commander, so many supplies from the chief of staff?"
