After Li Ping finished speaking, the chief of staff did not feel that there was anything wrong with Li Ping's method, there was no shore defense artillery, and the infantry was used to fill it, I am afraid that it would be more flesh and blood mill than a flesh mill.

After the two asked the original information they had received to be forwarded to the headquarters, they immediately contacted the political commissar, and the three discussed the next deployment.

In the headquarters, Commander Liu looked at the telegram, he was not surprised that Li Ping was able to kill Yokoyama Yumoto, and now what he valued most was the intelligence on the table.

"Commissar, Chief of Staff, what signs do you see?"

Commander Liu spoke, and the political commissar and chief of staff said in unison: "Coastal defense line." ”

The political commissar looked at the chief of staff, and he continued: "Judging from the information that Li Ping has obtained, Umezu Mijiro is not only trying to let Yokoyama Yumoto's troops break through so much to mobilize planes to help the battle, but he seems to be very concerned about the Wafangdian area to the coastal area. ”

"I don't know what he's planning, but that area must be the key to his hidden plans."

After the commissar finished speaking, the chief of staff continued: "Commander, I agree with the judgment of the commissar, let's put it another way, that is, he wants to tightly control that area, except for the warships in the sea, I can't think of any other possibilities. ”

"Fleet?"

Commander Liu was slightly silent, what can Umezu Mijiro do with the help of the fleet now? Could it be that the Japanese army headquarters wanted to mobilize troops to help him?

Raising his head, Commander Liu opened his mouth and said: "Send our analysis to Chairman Yan'an and send them over, if it is really a fleet, the movement will not be small." ”

"Yes, Commander."

Commander Liu made a decision on one side, while on the other side, Umezu Yoshijiro was restless in the headquarters because he had lost contact with all the troops of Yokoyama Yumoto's division.

In this case, I am afraid that not only the unknown Yokoyama Yumoto is more than lucky, but also the defense line of Wafangdian has problems.

"Chief of Staff, is there any news?"

The chief of staff of the devil shook his head and said, "Commander, I'm afraid something really happened over there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to contact him at all." ”

Umezu Mijiro was stunned when he heard this, and then he became furious, he was very reluctant to believe the judgment of the chief of staff, but the facts told him that this judgment should be realistic.

Thinking that his hard-working actions were destroyed by Li Ping like this, Umezu Mijiro gritted his teeth.

When Umezu Mijiro was still immersed in his own world, the chief of staff of the devil spoke again: "Commander, the accident on Yokoyama Yumoto's side is a foregone conclusion, and now how are we going to mobilize some of our troops to the past." ”

"If there are no troops over there, we can't hide it from Li Ping and them at all, and then our plan will be over."

Umezu Mijiro raised his head when he heard this, and his murderous appearance made the devil's chief of staff cold behind him, only to hear Umezu Mijiro speak: "We must ensure that the plan goes smoothly, if it is discovered by the Eighth Route Army, I don't know how much worse our combat effect will be." ”

"Chief of Staff, you immediately telegraph to the headquarters, explain our situation and situation, and ask them to let the warships coming over at this time go to Shandong first, pick up the troops of a division over there, and then land in Dalian."

The chief of staff of the devil stopped beating for a few seconds when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Commander, with such a transfer, I'm afraid we will soon be exposed, this ......." ”

The chief of staff of the devil was interrupted by Umezu Mijiro before he finished speaking, and he said to the chief of staff: "This must be done, if we move troops from here, it will not only take time, but also laborious, and send troops over with the depth of the Eighth Route Army's defense line, I am afraid that at the cost of the destruction of two divisions, we can cover the safe passage of the troops of one division." ”

Umezu Mijiro stopped here, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Chief of Staff, you can think about it the other way, as long as the fleet that comes over can be ready, wouldn't it be even more confusing to the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hehe, when the time comes, they will have the illusion that we want to fight back from that side, and the troops are there, plus the things we have transported, it is simply the best cover."

After Umezu Mijiro finished speaking, the chief of staff of the devil was silent for a few minutes and agreed, this method is indeed feasible, but it is necessary to let the fleet make more deceptive actions.

The two discussed the details and soon sent a telegram to the headquarters, and the Japanese headquarters soon sent them a telegram as well, although they were very dissatisfied with the loss of control of Umezu Mijiro, but they still agreed for the sake of the overall situation.

The night passed like this, and as soon as the day dawned, Li Ping ordered the troops to advance in all directions, preparing to take control of other places.

Li Ping's troops continued to approach, and the devil garrisons in Dalian and Lushun were extremely nervous, and in the face of Li Ping's threat, they kept asking for reinforcements from Umezu Mijiro.

Umezu Mijiro could only wait anxiously now, and just as Li Ping was advancing and began to deploy, preparing to attack Lushun and Dalian, Commander Liu sent a telegram to him to stop his movements.

"My God, Umezu Mijiro won't be confused! Actually transferred troops from Shandong. ”

The chief of staff's face was full of surprise at this time, what was the use of Umezu Mijiro being so transferred? Could it be that he can still rely on this division to push from here to Fengtian, he shouldn't be so stupid, right?

Li Ping put down the telegram and fell silent, Umezu Mijiro did this, and controlling the coast was obviously not his real goal.

Since it took so much effort to arrange, it proved that there were more important things, and Li Ping thought of this and immediately thought of the issue of warships.

It was when Li Ping was thinking, on the other side, Commander Liu looked at the intelligence, his scalp was about to explode, and the intelligence said that there were a lot of devil warships exposed, of course, whether there was something hidden has not yet been discovered.

"Commander, did you find a problem?"

"Huh?"

Commander Liu raised his head and looked at the political commissar, not knowing what it meant, the political commissar pointed to the telegram and reported: "Intelligence shows that most of the warships that appeared this time are transport fleets, except for the battleships escorting the escort, nothing has been found for the time being?" ”

"Hehe, the Japanese army headquarters won't send so many warships just to help Umezu Mijiro transfer a devil division from Shandong, right?"

Commander Liu and the chief of staff immediately stood up when they heard this, and the political commissar's analysis reminded them.

"Hell, is it weapons and ammunition? It can be the current reserve of Umezu Mijiro, it should not be! ”

The chief of staff touched his chin and was a little unconfident, Commander Liu's eyes jumped, and he said, "No matter what it is?" The Japanese army headquarters attaches so much importance to it, and Umezu Mijiro takes so much pain, then those things can't be simple. ”

"Chief of Staff, get ready to transfer troops! Once the devil lands again, I'm afraid there will be problems on Li Ping's side, and if we don't let him get what Umezu Mijiro wants, it will be a victory. ”

"Yes, Commander."

At this time, both sides will have their eyes on the approaching warship, and a contest will begin again.
