Why Umezu Mijiro suddenly mentioned this, the chief of staff reacted quickly, and the key is the issue of "troop strength".

Can front-line troops fight to clear the enemy's forces? Yes and no.

There is no doubt that you can get an approximate number of troops after testing.

However, sometimes it can also create an illusion, such as the enemy's use of tactics such as refueling tactics, which will not be able to estimate the strength of troops, and even form an illusion.

Only by combining intelligence with the specific operational situation of the front-line troops can we know the specific troop situation.

And now the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army is vague, which is clear to the chief of staff and Umezu Mijiro.

The reason why Umezu Mijiro raised this question is undoubtedly an estimate of his own, an estimate of the strength and combat effectiveness to predict how many troops the enemy has.

Thinking of this, the chief of staff opened his mouth and said: "Commander, are you saying that the Eighth Route Army is heavily armed on the front line of Anshan, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacking the Fengtian area at this time are insufficient?" ”

Umezu Mijiro nodded and spoke: "If you want to cut a division, although it is a recruit division, no matter how weak their combat effectiveness is, they need equal strength, or even more." ”

"And this point is a problem, the distribution of troops of the Eighth Route Army, we have a rough estimate of the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Montenegrin area."

"All circumstances indicate that the attack on the Mukden region is only a pretext for the purpose of interfering with our judgment and delaying the reinforcements we are preparing to reinforce."

Umezu Mijiro said with a sneer, Li Ping, you want to play again, but this time you are going to miscalculate.

The cold smile made people look hairy, and Umezu Mijiro didn't care about this, and immediately said to the chief of staff: "Order the second division and other troops, and let them march to the Shanhaiguan side according to the original order." ”

"As for the Eighth Route Army in the Fengtian area, it will be handed over to the garrison in Fengtian to solve."

"Yes, Commander."

There is only one reason to choose or not to choose, and when you find this reason, you must not hesitate to carry it out according to your own will.

Umezu Mijiro's order was conveyed, and the political commissar on the other side suddenly found that the devil troops he was entangled with no longer hesitated and began to act again.

Combined with various intelligence, the political commissar knew that the devil was continuing to march towards Shanhaiguan, and at this time Kono was also taking over the battle.

The political commissar also had a headache at this time, obviously the captain Li Ping and they had already continued to act, but why did the devil still march so firmly, what was the problem there.

"Sending a telegram to the captain to report the situation is really getting more and more incomprehensible."

Li Ping was stunned after receiving the telegram, no! Could it be that Umezu Mijiro has seen through Lao Tzu's forces.

Li Ping, who touched his head, was full of shock, fighting a war is a calculation, once it is seen through by others, especially in the case of disadvantage, it will inevitably be controlled everywhere, and it will be difficult to move back to the advantage.

Umezu Mijiro's action made Li Ping scared enough, he carefully recalled the entire battle situation, and it seemed that there was no loophole caught by Umezu Mijiro.

"What the hell is going on, Umezu Mijiro, Umezu Mijiro, do you really know?"

Li Ping, who was muttering to himself, knew at this moment that he was facing a choice, and this choice was forced to choose by Umezu Mijiro.

Judging from Umezu Mijiro's troop deployment, it seems that he really saw through his layout, so his plan died.

Whether to continue to choose to confuse or to retreat, Li Ping was a little hesitant.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ping still decided to continue to work, what can he do when he retires and goes back? The devils on the political commissar's side have withdrawn most of the troops, and Li Ping believes that the political commissar can solve the problem.

The chief of staff needs to go over and help when he arrives, but now that he has been in the past with twists and turns, it is better to continue to fight here.

Thinking about this, Li Ping's eyes flashed with murderous aura, what if you Umezu Mijiro saw through it, don't underestimate me, my threatening nature will shock you.

Both of them were unaware, they didn't see each other clearly, they were all speculations based on intelligence.

Li Ping decided to continue fighting on this side, and on the other side, Commander Liu, who was observing the situation on the battlefield in Shanhaiguan, put down his binoculars.

"Sure enough, it's a strict abandonment, it's really a turtle shell."

As soon as Commander Liu said, the chief of staff next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Commander, the troops are fighting well, and in a few days, we will be able to find the weak point." ”

Commander Liu nodded when he heard this, this is self-confidence, as long as a point is broken, this line of defense is the beginning of his march into the northeast.

At this time, the political commissar who walked in happened to hear the conversation between the two, and immediately shook his head slightly, and said, "You guys should take a look at this telegram first!" ”

"Li Ping's strategy seems to have failed, Umezu Mijiro is vigorously deploying troops, and at least the troops of two divisions will be reinforced."

After the political commissar finished speaking, Commander Liu quickly took the telegram and read it carefully, and the chief of staff also quickly turned his head to read it together.

There was a bit of silence in the headquarters, and the reinforcements transferred by Umezu Mijiro were more bloody, and the more unfavorable the situation would be for their side.

After a moment of silence, the chief of staff suddenly laughed, and the two looked at him strangely.

Looking at Commander Liu and the two, the chief of staff said with a smile: "We can't be too harsh on Li Ping and them, it's not easy to fight so far." ”

"One of the things I'm most interested in right now, you say that Umezu Mijiro is doing this, how will our Captain Li target it?"

Commander Liu and the political commissar were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they laughed when they reacted, will Li Ping be a fuel-efficient lamp?

"Hehe, no matter what, we still speed up to break through the Shanhaiguan defense line, the more we delay, the more difficult it will be."

"Yes, Commander"

Commander Liu ordered the troops to attack without stopping, and the pressure on the devils on the defense line became very great, if it were not for the strong fortifications, they would be enough.

The fight here is lively, and the most concerned is of course Umezu Mijiro, and the tense situation makes him have to urge reinforcements to hurry up.

On the other side, Li Ping, he also chose the combat target.

"Captain, the target we want to attack is called Wange Town, where there is a brigade of devil troops and a battalion of puppet soldiers."

"The reason why the devils have deployed so many troops is because this is the main point for transshipment ore."

"We have found out that although there are many troops here, the defense is not tight, because although ore is important, it is not necessary."

Li Ping nodded when he heard this, ore is basically useless without technology and equipment, especially the operations of the front-line troops, who do you say will be thankless to take this kind of place.

However, this point can be used by himself, because his goal is not ore, but to give the devil the illusion that an enemy who can quickly annihilate such a force is close to Mukden, and it is the devil who is nervous.
