Chapter 167 The Hidden Viper
After Li Ping gave the order, he no longer paid attention to the changes in the situation, no matter how Sugiyama struggled, his strategic goal had been accomplished, and the next step was to consolidate the results of the battle.
Li Ping was relieved here, when Chen Zhong received the telegram, he left a small part of the troops to continue to clean up the battlefield, and then let the rested soldiers replenish supplies and continue to set off, only the artillery was exhausted because of the shells, and they stayed with helpless thoughts.
Chen Zhong commanded the troops to advance in three directions, just to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in front of them to surround the devils who had stayed.
The Eighth Route Army acted like this, and the intelligence department of the devils faintly discovered the general plan of the Eighth Route Army and reported their speculation to Sugiyama Yuan in Jinan.
Sugiyama looked at the telegram in his hand, drew the scattered routes of the Eighth Route Army one by one, and then carefully calculated them.
"Your Excellency General, Li Ping has really mobilized his troops, and it seems that he still can't stand the temptation to destroy our troops."
The words of the chief of staff of the devil made Sugiyama Moto's smile, as a commander, when he can take the advantage, he thinks about how to expand the advantage, and only by maintaining the advantage until the end can he get the best results.
Obviously, Li Ping also thinks the same, he must want to destroy these troops of his own, and then in the future, Shandong's own troops will be even more empty, and he can fight as he wants.
"Chief of Staff, let the troops who stay move a little, and they can't stay too long."
Sugiyama Yuan said, and the chief of staff nodded suddenly, understanding what Sugiyama Yuan meant, and there were two purposes for doing so.
First, the slight movement of the troops made it more difficult for the Eighth Route Army to encircle it, and at the same time created a false impression for the Eighth Route Army that the troops on their side would not sit idly by and continue to confuse the Eighth Route Army.
Second, they are really afraid that Li Ping's troops will solve them in a short time, and if these troops are finished, when their side completes the encirclement, the battlefield will be even more difficult to fight in the future.
The chief of staff of the devil asked him to send a telegram, and after receiving the telegram, the troops on the front line were blindfolded, but they had worked hard to establish a defensive line on their side, so why did they have to retreat thanklessly.
However, Sugiyama Moto's order could not be disobeyed, and with doubts, after a battle with the Eighth Route Army in front of the position, the troops began to retreat again.
All the Eighth Route Armies were urging the troops on the road to speed up, and at the same time let the Eighth Route Army, which had captured the outer line, prepare to establish a blocking position.
Stopping all the way, the two sides can't help each other for the time being, and only by finding a way to take advantage can they make a final decision.
There is no decisive factor on the battlefield here to fight a war of annihilation, on the other side, the troops of the 102nd and 103rd divisions of the devil have secretly arrived in Jining, and in the conference room, the two division commanders looked at the telegram sent by Sugiyama Yuan and immediately understood what kind of combat mission they were going to undertake next.
"Okada-kun, General Sugiyama Genda wants your 102nd Division to intersperse with the Dongping area from here, divide the base of the Eighth Route Army, and complete the encirclement, can you complete this distance?"
The division commander of the 103rd Division of the Devil opened his mouth with a smile, and Okada smiled softly when he heard this, and said: "Takashima-kun, we can complete the battle at such a distance, but can your 103rd Division resist the pressure behind us?" ”
Okada's words made Takashima silent slightly, don't look at most of Li Ping's troops in the direction of Liaocheng, if the 102nd Division completes the cutting, then he will resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army in the base area of the Eighth Route Army on the other side, and when the time comes, will his 103rd Division be able to hold out until the end of the encirclement?
Gao Dao didn't dare to say big things, the last time his two divisions ran to Shandong, it can be said that they were pursued by the Eighth Route Army all the way, and he knew the combat effectiveness and morale of the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing Takashima's silence, Okada also became serious, not to mention that Takashima was under great pressure, his own pressure was not small, completing the cutting and encirclement was only the beginning, and resisting the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army was the real test moment.
"Okada-kun, I don't know if this operation will go well, but I know that if we can't complete the operation within ten days, our combat goals will be greatly reduced."
Takashima's point of view, Okada agrees, and if he can't hit Li Ping in the heart with one blow, his backlash will be even more terrifying.
"Takashima-kun, it doesn't matter, just follow the orders of General Sugiyama Moto, even if you can't hit Li Ping hard, you can make him not underestimate us, after all, our battlefield situation in Shandong has greatly damaged the morale of the troops."
Okada's words, Takashima agreed, and the two were silent and no longer spoke, but just ordered the troops to continue to hide, hiding for as long as they could.
The devils of the two divisions did not enter the city at all, and hid after getting off the train, but the abnormality of the railway station during the time when they got off the train attracted the attention of the intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army.
In a room, several middle-aged men sat with a young man, and a middle-aged man spoke: "The devil closed the train station at eleven o'clock last night, and all the relevant personnel have been replaced at present, and none of them can be found, I think there is a big problem." ”
The middle-aged man's words made a few people nod, originally thought it was just a normal shift change, but the person on duty yesterday was gone, if one person disappeared, it would be nothing strange, but if the whole group of people disappeared, it would be abnormal.
"We must quickly find out the reason, now our troops are constantly encircling and suppressing devils, and there can be no accidents."
"Yes, any problem will affect the battlefield, Division Commander Li and they finally found this good opportunity, and our intelligence support must not lag behind."
“……”
Every word you say to a few people proves that the devil's blockade is really abnormal, and the reason must be found.
"Xiao Wang, did you find anything unusual around the train station?" , a middle-aged man asked the young man.
Xiao Wang nodded and said, "The devil is still under martial law around the train station, and we can't find out more." ”
"Also, so far we don't know where the train came from, and the devil's secrecy is too strict."
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, several people were silent for a while, and the more they discussed, the more strange the situation became, and several people could feel a depressing atmosphere.
"Inform the situation and let our comrades find the reason together, and quickly."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and nodded, and each went to launch their own responsible channels to find out the news.
The unusual movements of the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army in Jining attracted the attention of the intelligence personnel of the devils, and these devils suddenly became nervous, so as not to make mistakes at this critical moment.
This situation came to Sugiyama Moto's place faster, and looking at the information, Sugiyama Moto's nervousness suddenly became nervous.
"Chief of Staff, we can't wait any longer, we must let them move quickly."
The chief of staff of the devil nodded suddenly, if it was discovered by the Eighth Route Army, this operation would become a joke, and Li Ping would definitely react in a short time.
"Your Excellency, General, they must survive today and act at night, otherwise distance and time will be the biggest enemy of our defeat."
Sugiyama Yuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "Order the two divisions, tonight is the time for them to act, and they must complete the cutting and encirclement by tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After receiving Sugiyama Moto's telegram, Okada and Takashima immediately looked at each other and ordered their troops to prepare.
On the other hand, the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army finally found a little clue, but it still couldn't complete the judgment.
In the teahouse, a person in charge of intelligence looked at the person who came, and the two walked into a room, and as soon as they did, the person who came said: "With a clue, the shift change personnel at the railway station are now locked up in a warehouse at the train station, and our people can't get close." ”
"There is also a report from the peripheral investigators that there seem to be vehicles passing by in the area guarded by the devils, and the ravines formed by the road can be seen as many vehicles."
After saying that, the two of them suddenly flashed, and it seemed that the devil was hiding something very remarkable.
"We continue to investigate, and at the same time report to the division headquarters, this issue cannot be sloppy, since the devils are so careful, it proves that they are afraid that we know."
"Okay, let's do it."
The intelligence telegram of the Jining intelligence officer came to the division headquarters, and it was the chief of staff who received it, and after reading it, he immediately shook Li Ping up and handed the telegram to him.
Li Ping sat up, frowned after reading the telegram, there are some troops defending in Jining on his side, what are the devils doing?
Now the most important focus should be on the direction of Liaocheng, and the first reaction in Li Ping's mind is not the problem of the devil's army, but the devil's other actions.
After all, Liaocheng is the main battlefield now, and the chief of staff has similar thoughts, and both of them are a little silent.
"Chief of Staff, let the intelligence department continue to investigate, and at the same time let the defending troops in the direction of Jining be careful."
The chief of staff nodded, and the two looked at the map together after coming to the headquarters, Jining and Liaocheng are completely two directions, as if they really have nothing to do with each other.
I can't analyze it for the time being, so I can only wait for the intelligence department to continue to investigate, and on the other hand, the abnormal activity of the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army makes Sugiyama Yuan fidgety after learning about it, and they are looking forward to the arrival of dark.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was night, looking at the sky, Sugiyama Yuan immediately ordered: "Let the front-line troops immediately establish a defensive line, tell them that they must block the siege of the Eighth Route Army and wait for the 103rd Division to penetrate." ”
"Order the 103rd Division to dispatch immediately, and at the same time order the 102nd Division to let them and the 103rd Division plan to act, wait for the completion of the encirclement, and block the Eighth Route Army in the other base area."
Okada and Takashima, who received the telegram, looked at the telegram and knew that the most critical time had come.
"Okada-kun, this time my 103rd Division will be dispatched first, and I will order the troops to dispatch in three directions to attack the base defense line of the Eighth Route Army, divert the attention of the Eighth Route Army, and give you more time."
After Takashima finished speaking, Okada nodded, knowing what this meant, as long as Takashima's troops appeared, the time period of his exposure was reduced to a certain extent.
"Takashima-kun, please."
Takashima nodded and left, he wanted to command the troops to prepare to break through to the base of the Eighth Route Army.
The devils of the 103rd Division of the devil suddenly appeared, which directly startled the intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately sent a telegram to the division headquarters.
