As soon as the chief of staff of the devil said this, Umezu Mijiro was also puzzled in his eyes, and he only heard the chief of staff continue: "Judging from the information reported by Tada Jun in North China, the Eighth Route Army in North China has also made a big move, and a force is advancing towards his defense area, and this is the current situation. ”

After the chief of staff of the devil finished speaking, Umezu Mijiro looked at the sand table and did not move.

After a long while, Umezu Mijiro suddenly spoke: "Do you say that the Eighth Route Army is going to hold a line?" ”

Saying that, Umezu Mijiro stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table, and said: "Come and see, the Eighth Route Army in the northeast is on guard in the area adjacent to us, and of course they are on guard against us. ”

"If their combat focus shifts, and the troops in the northeast cooperate with the troops in North China, and the two sides attack, then Tada Jun in North China is very likely to be unable to resist."

When Umezu Mijiro said this, the chief of staff next to him changed his face and said palely: "Commander, do you mean that they want to solve Tada Jun first and relieve the worries of North China?" ”

Thinking of the two sides, the chief of staff of the devil was worried about Tada Jun, that was not a force of 10,000 or 20,000, it was a force of hundreds of thousands.

Seeing the change in the chief of staff's face and listening to his worries, Umezu Mijiro shook his head firmly and said, "A flank attack is a flank attack, but they don't want to solve Tada Jun in one go." ”

"Chief of Staff, think about it, the Eighth Route Army in the northeast is moving, do you say they are not worried about the reaction of our side?"

"If you want to flank Tadajun, then you must ensure that you can block us, obviously, if they move their troops south, with the forces in their hands, they should know that they can't stop us, and when the time comes, it will not be them who will flank Tadajun, but we will flank them."

Umezu Mijiro paused here and said, "So, their operation must be short-lived, and soon the troops going south will also return to the defense area." ”

"Extrapolating from this, then their short-term goal is for both sides to exert their forces at the same time to break through Tadajun's defense area and ensure that there is a line on both sides of them that can maintain contact and mobilize troops."

After Umezu Mijiro finished speaking, there was silence in the headquarters, because everyone didn't know how to refute it, and it was the reason that Commander Umezu Mijiro said was reasonable.

After a quiet moment, the chief of staff of the devil raised his head and said to Umezu Mijiro: "Commander, if this is the case, then can we take the opportunity to send troops, with the current defense line of the troops in various regions of the Eighth Route Army, if we attack, they will definitely be defeated." ”

After saying that, Umezu Mijiro was also very moved, but after a little thought, he vetoed it and said, "At present, it is just an inference, and the specific situation is not clear. ”

"If Commander Liu of the Northeast Eighth Route Army dares to do this, then he should have a way to deal with our sudden outburst."

After speaking, Umezu Mijiro turned back to the chief of staff and continued: "The most important thing now is intelligence, as long as we understand the reason for the Eighth Route Army's actions, then we can respond accordingly." ”

"Yes, Commander"

Of course, the chief of staff of the devil knows that there must be nothing wrong with being careful at this time, and you must know that once you attack at a loss, the follow-up problems caused will not be small.

Both of the Devil's troops were hurrying up to find information that was important to them, while on the other side, the two forces of the Eighth Route Army were also speeding up.

In the headquarters, Li Ping took a sip of hot tea, and then took a beautiful puff of cigarette, but those leisurely days made everyone in the headquarters roll their eyes.

"You're really welcome!"

Commander Liu kicked Li Ping lightly and motioned for him to get out of the way, Li Ping exhaled a puff of smoke, gave up his position to the commander, and then sat down next to him.

"I said Chief of Staff, I'm your mother's family anyway! Now that I'm on your territory, why don't you entertain you? ”

Li Ping ignored the commander, but said to the chief of staff next to him.

Chief of Staff Ye glanced at him, and the political commissar also laughed at this time, speaking of which, the two have partnered, and Li Ping is really the chief of staff's mother's family.

"The kid came to Lao Tzu's headquarters, he ate and drank, and he didn't do anything every day, I said that you bastard is getting more and more lazy."

"Look at Political Commissar Luo and Chief of Staff Yang, people are busy, are you so embarrassed?"

Commander Liu took a puff of cigarette and looked at Li Ping as he spoke, Li Ping smiled and said, "What can I be busy with?" The troops are going south, and now I have the special combat team of Huzi in my hands, Commander, you can't let me take Huzi and them to serve Umezu Mijiro's lair, right? ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is like you, I'm afraid that you bastard will never come back, and there will be no corpse."

Commander Liu snorted, and at this time, the political commissar laughed and said, "Forget it, let this kid have a good rest!" Otherwise, if he is deployed in the headquarters, Lao Tzu's heart will not be good. ”

"He commanded a force to fight, and Lao Tzu was scared, if he was allowed to command in the command headquarters, my God."

"Hahahaha"

Commander Liu couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this, and Li Ping said a little resentful at this time: "Political commissar, what you said, why can't Li Ping command at the headquarters." ”

Li Ping's expression made everyone shake their heads and smile, and at this time, Political Commissar Luo came over, sat down and said with a smile: "Don't laugh, everyone, our Captain Li is used to this behavior." ”

Everyone laughed again, and just as everyone was laughing, a staff officer came over and reported: "Commander, the forward troops report that they have exchanged fire with Tadajun's troops. ”

"Also, there are signs of big moves in the various units of the Kwantung Army that are confronting us."

Commander Liu stood up when he heard this, and everyone followed him to the sand table.

"Umezu Mijiro reacted quickly enough, and ordered all departments on the front line to block the advance of the devil in half a month."

After Commander Liu finished speaking, the staff officer saluted and left, at this time Li Ping looked at the sand table and said: "Commander, I think Umezu Mijiro should know that our troops going south are going with food." ”

"We estimate the time, and he can also find the problem."

After Li Ping finished speaking, everyone nodded, and both sides knew that the troops on the northeast side would only increase, and would definitely not decrease.

As long as Umezu Mijiro has enough information, he can judge a lot of things.

As for the current judgment of Umezu Mijiro, it is unknown.

Looking at the sand table, Commander Liu spoke: "At present, we have no other way but to wait, waiting for the plan to go smoothly." ”

"Political commissar, you immediately send a telegram to the boss and inform us of the situation on our side."

"Yes"

At the headquarters, the boss looked at the telegram, raised his head after reading it, and said: "All departments on the front line of the telegram, no matter how they march, they must be completed according to the plan." ”

"Tell them that the troops going south in the northeast have exchanged fire with Tada Jun, and they must hurry over, otherwise Umezu Mijiro in the northeast will react, and Lao Liu and they will definitely not be able to stop them."

"Yes"

The staff officer went to send a telegram, and at this time the political commissar said softly: "Boss, I'm also worried about Tada Jun's reaction now, if he is desperate to be in the middle, Lao Liu and their lives will not be easy." ”
