This puppet army major general division commander originally planned to catch some ordinary people in the Jiuding Mountains, as well as local cadres of the Eighth Road. And complete the control of the flank, to ensure that the troops of the southern front break through to the Ludong Mountains, you can hand over to the Japanese, and it will be over. But he ignored the Major General Toyoji Okumura in front of him, and took a formed brigade to act with him, and it would definitely not be so simple.

The real intentions of this Major General Toyoji Okumura are not as simple as he imagined or judged. A dignified commander of a Japanese Army Major General Brigade went to arrest a few local cadres of the Eighth Road, and those who were the secretary of the district party committee or the chairman of the village women's rescue committee, weren't they clearly stumbling people.

Major General Toyoji Okumura disregarded his respect as a major general of the Imperial Japanese Army this time and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. In addition to supervising the battle and monitoring these puppet troops, to prevent them from working and not contributing to fool the Japanese army. There is also a very important task, that is, to thoroughly carry out the task of destroying the Eighth Route Ludong Base Area.

For this former Chongqing miscellaneous army that defected to Nanjing when it was cornered. On the Japanese side, whether it is the First Army in Shanxi or the headquarters of the North China Front. In terms of trust, it is far less trusting than the puppet security army in North China, or the garrison formed in various places.

However, on the one hand, these people are very strong in combat, but they are usually difficult for the Japanese army to completely grasp and control. These guys, who are all about preserving their strength, are disconnected from all aspects. Even if he publicly stated that he would not fight against the Chongqing Army, there was not necessarily no collusion with the Eighth Road.

For these people, the Japanese want to use, and even replenish them with weapons and equipment, and use them to deal with the Eight Roads, which will never be cleared in the mountains. But in their bones, the Japanese trust them far less than the garrison they have cultivated.

When these guys were fighting against the Eighth Road, it was difficult for them to completely complete the plan formulated by the Japanese army. To be exact, the chances that they can kill the eight roads underground are probably not as good as the chances of letting them fight mosquitoes. These people have always stepped on a few boats, and preserving their strength is far more important than anything.

Therefore, this time, the Japanese army in Shanxi made up its mind to completely destroy the Ludong base area. But he was worried that these guys would not be able to do their work, so he sent Major General Toyoji Okumura to do it himself. Two methods were adopted: using the puppet army to deal with the Eighth Route Field Army, and using the Japanese army with the cooperation of the local puppet army to sweep the interior of the base area.

This can not only reduce the casualties of the Japanese army, but also allow these puppet army generals who want to step on a few boats to completely form a mortal enemy with the Eighth Road. In the absence of a retreat, the Japanese army can make better use of these people to their advantage. This cannot but be said to be a very creative move by the division commander of the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army at the suggestion of that senior staff member.

If you act according to this plan, it should be the puppet army going south to fight Li Ziyuan at the moment. However, the high-level command of the Japanese army ignored a very crucial issue, that is, to let the middle and senior officers, who have always prided themselves as elites, arrest those local cadres who are at the first level in their eyes than the Eighth Road

Major General Toyoji Okumura, who was quite depressed by this plan, found out that a large army of eight roads was killed. finally found a channel to vent, and the whole plan came to a 180-degree U-turn. Only one was left to deal with those dirt and eight roads in the Jiuding Mountains, and he personally commanded the main force to go south to eliminate the main force of the eight roads.

But for the 38th Division of this puppet army, it is not a problem for you Major General Okumura to change the plan. Anyway, the plan is made by you Japanese, and the change is your own business. The problem is that you want to destroy the Eight Paths, which is no problem, but you can't use my troops to consume the Eight Ways of Bullets.

Although they also know that if the Japanese launch a ruthless attack and ignore anything, if they want to disarm themselves, they really can't do it. But the division commander who suffered heavy losses by his own subordinates and was also a little angry and painful. What is clearer is that there are some things that you have to say yourself.

At this time, pull down your face, everyone has no reason to benefit, and the major general of this little devil should also know. If you really pull down your face, you really won't be happy, but just such a brigade of Japanese people won't be much better. With their little strength, can they resist so many old Eighth Road bites in the entire Taihang Mountain?

There are no friendly forces on the Eighth Road side, and those who are not moving like a mountain. If he left himself, he would be just an infantry brigade, and if he died, that is, the strength of his own regiment, he would be gnawed by the old Eighth Road in the Taihang Mountains, and there would be nothing left of the slag. There are some things that you have to make them understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

After listening to Major General Toyoji Okumura, in a commanding tone and what he said, the division commander directly said to Major General Toyoji Okumura: "Major General Okumura, everyone has come out to sweep the Eighth Road. The whole plan was also made by you, you said that you would change it, and you still took my troops to consume eight bullets, isn't it a bit unauthentic to do this? ”

"You Japanese attacks over there have been tickling Hachiro so far. Just watching my troops, so consumed by the Eighth Road? In addition to artillery support, shouldn't you also come up with real money? Let's also see, what is your stance on the eight-way operation? ”

"Besides, Major General Okumura, if my troops are consumed by the Eighth Route so little bit, you will be left with your own old base in this Eighth Route, will you be able to get benefits? Don't forget, this is the old base of the Eighth Road. Maybe the large army of the Eighth Route is hiding somewhere around, waiting for us to be crippled. ”

"Also, this time our two armies are working together. We were crippled or dealt with by the Eighth Route, and it is not good for you to go back and explain to the North China Front Headquarters and the Nanjing Military and Political Department. Don't forget, in the entire southeast of Jinjin, we still rely on us to support us, so that the Eighth Road has not been fully penetrated. ”

Regarding the threat of this division commander, Major General Toyoji Okumura didn't care at all: "You don't understand tactics, my troops are looking for weaknesses in the enemy's defense system and are ready to give them a fatal blow." If you contain their strength and firepower head-on, my troops will deliver the most fatal blow to this force at the most critical time. ”

"Don't bargain here, destroy this Eighth Route, I will report to the commander of the First Army and the division when I go back, replenish your equipment and restore the formation. Even expanding your troops into an army is not a problem. But if you let go of this Eight Paths, there will be no need for your troops to exist, and the Empire will never raise idlers. ”

"If you want to eat good, you can't pay the price. Don't always think about playing tricks, playing tricks on the battlefield, the empire can't accept it. Don't even think about relying on your troops and bargaining with the Empire. Don't doubt the Empire's means, let alone leave it to chance. ”

"Again, this time to complete the predetermined goal set by His Excellency the division commander, it is easy to say anything. Not to mention the battle damage, it will be replenished as soon as possible. Even if it is expanded, it will not be a problem. But if you can't achieve your goal, I don't think you need to exist. As for what that military and political department in Nanjing was, what did they dare to ask the Great Japanese Empire to give them an explanation? ”

When he said this, Major General Toyoji Okumura's tone was full of murderous energy. As far as he was concerned, he only had to explain to the headquarters of the First Army and the North China Front. As for the Ministry of Military Affairs in Nanjing, he didn't look at it at all. In his eyes, the government in Nanjing was just a puppet supported by the empire in order to better control China.

Without the protection of the Empire's bayonets, the government, which is not even a fart, will collapse faster than anyone else. If you need to give them an explanation, wouldn't that be a big joke for the Empire? Regarding the threat of the so-called friendly forces' so-called confession, Major General Toyoji Okumura directly took it as a deaf ear. On the contrary, when he answered, his tone was much tougher.

Looking at this Major General Toyoji Okumura, the saber in his hand when he said this. The division commander who knew that these Japanese had done everything, although he was still a little resentful, knew that he was helpless with these guys. The tone was much more relaxed: "Major General Okumura, I think these two hours have passed, and your subordinates have already figured out the weaknesses of the Eighth Route Defense." ”

"In two hours, it's going to be dark. These Eight Roads have always been good at night and mountain warfare, and this area is their old base. They are quite familiar with the terrain and the surrounding people. The Eighth Road has always been good at their so-called hit-and-run guerrilla warfare, and now they are fighting in their lair. ”

"When the time comes, let go of these eight roads, I think your Excellency will not be able to explain when you go back. You say we're playing tricks, but now you've seen that I'm losing almost a ball. Whether it's a trick or not, I think your Excellency still knows it. However, Your Excellency never attacked, if the eight roads ran away, should I go back and it can be said that Your Excellency is playing a slippery head? ”

"Major General Okumura, this time to attack the Eighth Route in the Ludong area is a common task for you and me. If I really get run away by this Eight Paths, even if I can't eat the good fruit when I go back, I think your boss will have some unpleasant thoughts about your Excellency. Major General Okumura, it's time for your troops to move, too. ”

For this puppet army division commander, he was a little soft, but he was obviously still a little unconvinced. Major General Toyoji Okumura, but like what he said before, he didn't care about it, let alone take it seriously. What are you kidding, what did the Great Japanese Empire raise you people for, weren't they just used to be thugs? How many dead and wounded you people, will the Great Japanese Empire care?

If there is no benefit, you would have chosen to join the empire in the first place? If you hadn't been ostracized and didn't even have a way to live, you guys would have chosen to join the Empire? In a battle against the Eighth Route by half-hearted people like you, the more casualties there are, the better it will be for the empire to rule North China.

However, I don't care about the attitude of the so-called friendly forces, but there are some problems for Major General Toyoji Okumura, and it is indeed time to think about it. The battle can't be delayed indefinitely, and the eight roads that defend the door can afford to fight, but they can't always spend it here.

Although the words of this puppet army division commander seem to him to be a bit of a fake big empty taste. But one thing is not wrong, and that is that the change in the sky does not leave much time for me. Eight Roads excels at night battles, especially in the mountains at night. Once it is dragged until it is completely dark, it is easy to give this group of eight ways a chance to escape.

This is the old base of the Eighth Road, and the common people are all connected to the Eighth Road. As long as they are escaped by these eight paths, it will be difficult to find them. If this sweep is empty-handed, not even a main force of the eight roads will be caught. Even if you catch those local cadres, you won't be too happy when you go back to your boss.
