The biggest headache for Okamura Ningji is that Qi Rui has also moved here, and several confrontations with him have ended in failure, and now he has appeared in his own jurisdiction, which makes him really uncomfortable.

"Commander! You seem to be worried about the situation in North China? Yukio Kasahara asked,

"General Kasawara! How long has Qi Rui been here? ”

"Commander! It's been almost a month since I came! ”

"A month to go! Did we lose only one brigade? Okamura asked,

"Yes! Later, according to your orders, the subordinates were asked not to take the initiative to attack, so Qi Rui had no chance later! ”

"Nope! He must be planning something bigger! This man is terrible! Okamura Ninji said,

"The commander seems to know this man well!"

"Yes! I still know a little bit about him! This person is known as the god of war by the Chinese military and civilians! As far as I know, he has never lost a battle until now, and he can be said to be a victorious general! Okamura Ninji said with admiration,

"Commander! What do you think he's planning? ”

"I don't know! If only I knew what he was thinking! Okamura Ninji said,

"Commander! We have sent intelligence officers to find out the news of Qi Rui, and I heard that they have been training bandits in the mountains recently! But where it is not known. ”

"Hmmm! Most of Qi Rui's army are bandits, and this person is still very good at employing people, no matter what kind of bandit he is, he will immediately become a brave and warlike warrior when he arrives under his hands! This person is simply terrible! Okamura Ningji said what was in his heart, and he really admired Qi Rui.

Yukio Kasahara is also very familiar with Okamura Ninji, and this is the first time he has seen that he who has always been steady has also been afraid and afraid.

"Commander! Qi Rui may not be so scary! People have weaknesses! Yukio Kasahara said,

"Nope! This guy is perfect! There are almost no drawbacks! ”

"Commander! The absence of shortcomings is perhaps the biggest drawback! ”

"How?"

"He may be able to fight well, but after all, our Imperial Japanese Army is much more advanced in military strength and weapons than theirs! As long as the weapon has absolute superiority, I think no matter how great his ability is, it will not help! ”

"Nope! The wolf-headed army's weapons are even better than ours! Okamura Ninji said,

"Commander! The equipment of the wolf's head army is all in Huangshan! There's no way Qi Rui can transport those weapons here! And his cavalry can't get by! Yukio Kasahara reminded,

"Yo Xi! What General Kasawara said makes sense! Okamura Ninji smiled when he heard this,

It is true that Okamura Ninji is still very experienced in fighting with the Chinese army, and he knows that the Chinese soldiers are very brave, and they are not afraid of death at all in many cases, which may be a common characteristic of the Oriental people, because the Japanese devils are not afraid of sacrifice.

Therefore, the reason why you often win battles against the Chinese army is basically the advantage of weapons and equipment, and when you also fight with the wolf-headed army, your own side often suffers from weapons.

If the Wolfheads didn't have those weapons, then they would have nothing to fear.

"General Kasawara! Qi Rui, where are they now? ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, they were active in the Handan area before, and they arrived in Fukou some time ago, and now I think they should still be there! Now the 1st Mixed Brigade, the 110th Division, and the 27th Division have long been waiting for the commander's order to immediately enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them! ”

"Don't be in a hurry! Qi Rui can't be idle! We're just standing still and waiting for him to strike! And then react accordingly! Okamura Ninji didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, because he knew that Qi Rui was too good at using terrain and landforms to fight, especially the terrain in the mountains.

On the thirteenth day after Okamura took office, he suddenly received a report that a truck from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang had lost contact.

"What's on this truck?" Okamura Ninji asked,

"Commander! This truck is carrying materials collected from Shanxi, everything! "Yukio Kasawara returned,

"How could a train of trucks get lost! Aren't there all our patrols along the way!? ”

"Let's wait for the next report!"

After a few hours, Okamura Ninji finally received the news that the missing truck had been found, but all the supplies on the truck were gone! Also included are a few railroad tracks that have also been taken away!

"What! How many people do it take to get so much stuff!? Any idea where they go? Okamura Ninji was surprised to hear that even something as heavy as a railroad track had been lost.

"It was said that it was entering Taihang Mountain!"

"Could it be that Qi Rui did it again!" Okamura Ninji hurried to look at the map,

"Commander! If we are really targeted by Qi Rui on the Zhengtai Railway, then the threat to us will be too great! "Yukio Kasahara has always been chief of staff in the North China Front, so he knows the importance of the Zhengtai Railway.

"I know! If you want to transport the materials back from Shanxi, you can only take the Zhengtai Railway! Okamura Ninji looked at the map and said,

"Commander! That's not a good sign! Yukio Kasawara was also worried,

"It turns out that Qi Rui has not moved for so long, he is preparing to cut off the Zhengtai Railway!" Okamura Ninji finally understood Qi Rui's intentions, and if it was him, he would do the same!

"Is the Commander so sure!?"

"Why does this guy always find our soft underbelly!" Okamura Ninji said with a headache,

"Commander! It seems that we can't do it if we don't even kill it! ”

"Can't go into the mountains! Because Qi Rui is best at fighting mountain warfare! "Okamura Ningji has suffered several big losses, he really doesn't dare, if he loses 1,800 people in a battle, he will admit it, but the battle with Qi Rui is the loss of several wings and even the entire division! How could he stand it.

"What about the transportation of the General Zhengtai Railway?"

"Let Tominaga Nobumasa, who is in Shijiazhuang, rush over with the 27th Division and tell him to only defend the first line of the Zhengtai Railway and not enter Taihang Mountain!" Okamura Ninji ordered,

The wagon wagon was robbed by Qi Rui with people, and this first operation was successfully completed, annihilating three patrols of devils, and killing a squadron of devils who escorted the delivery truck!

Some of the coal, corn, copper ore, cotton and other materials that were snatched back, although many of these Qi Rui were not used, but these were also better than the little devils who transported them back to Japan.

"Big brother! It's a good deal! In the future, we will be able to make a fortune just by eating this Zhengtai Railway! Xue Nancheng said excitedly,

"I hope Okamura Ninji will send a large army to encircle and suppress us!" Qi Rui looked at the hand-drawn map and said,

"Ahh Eldest brother! Why are you still looking forward to this!? Xue Nancheng was startled and asked,

"I have to look forward to it! Because of the weapons and equipment we need now! Only the devil came into the mountain to send it to us, or we got it! ”
