The Kawaguchi detachment encountered great trouble in the sweeping operation against the Dameishan base area, and because it was helpless against the tunnel tactics of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Kawaguchi Heiji came up with the idea of retiring from the army.

For the Japanese army, the tunnel method of warfare is a new way of fighting, the Japanese army has not been in contact with it before, and naturally there is no good countermeasure, as for how to crack it militarily, the professional problem is still handed over to the professional personnel, and so the domestic military experts find a countermeasure, and it is not too late for them to come to Dameishan to sweep.

Speaking from the heart, Kawaguchi Heiji's idea of retiring is not unreasonable, because the Japanese army has no way to take the Chinese troops hiding in the tunnels, and it is a pure waste of time to continue to stay here, not to mention that the Kawaguchi detachment is nearly 10,000 people, and the daily consumption of food and salary is a huge amount.

There is a more serious problem, once you stay in Meizhen for more than a week, the supplies carried by the army will be exhausted, and then you can only transport supplies from Feicheng or Pukou to Meizhen, but the problem is that the road from Feicheng or Pukou to Meizhen is not safe, and it is unknown whether the supplies can arrive as scheduled.

After hesitating for a moment, Heiji Kawaguchi still said to Tatsuya Yongjin: "Yongjin-san, give orders to all units, withdraw from Meizhen before noon, and return to Feicheng." ”

"Nani, withdraw your troops?" Yongjin Da also raised his head from the sand table when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

It's no wonder that Yongjinda can't believe that it has only been less than two days since the Kawaguchi detachment advanced into the Dameishan area, and it only exchanged fire twice with the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yongjin Tatsuya asked, "Your Excellency Commander, are you serious?" ”

"You think I'm joking with you?" Heiji Kawaguchi glanced coldly at Tatsuya Eijin.

Yongjin Da was also stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he ask in a low voice: "But why is this?" ”

"Why?" Kawaguchi Heiji put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed, "The reason is very simple, because the imperial army has no way to take the Zhina army hiding in the tunnel, since there is no way to take the Zhina army, and the imperial army stays in Meizhen, it is purely a waste of time and food, so why not just withdraw the troops as soon as possible?" ”

"But, but ......," Yongjin Tatsuya said in a mouthful of words, "isn't this a trip for nothing?" ”

"It's better to run for nothing than to spend money on food." Kawaguchi Heiji said, "What's more, the transportation and supply line from Feicheng and Pukou to Meizhen is not safe, in case we are trapped in Meizhen by the Chinese army, and the supply has not arrived for a long time, then I am afraid it will not be as simple as running in vain and losing face." ”

Yongjinda was also unwilling to say: "Your Excellency Commander, although the tunnel tactics of the Chinese army are unheard of and very tricky to deal with, they may not be without a way to crack them......

Heiji Kawaguchi immediately interrupted Tatsuya Eijin and said, "Do you have a way to crack it?" ”

Yongjin Da was speechless, if he had a way to crack it, he would have offered advice just now.

Heiji Kawaguchi snorted and said in a deep voice: "So, let's face reality." ”

"Hello." Yongjinda also responded weakly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Kawaguchi Heiji suddenly unexpectedly shouted out to Nagajin Tatsuya, and Nagajin Tatsuya immediately paused and looked at Kawaguchi Heiji with hopeful eyes, hoping that Kawaguchi Heiji would change his mind.

Unfortunately, Heiji Kawaguchi did not change his mind, saying: "Eijin-san, let the baggage wing hand over all the oil to the engineer wing, and then let the engineer wing burn down Umezhen and all the surrounding villages." ”

"It's all burned?" Yongjin Tatsuya said with a puzzled face, "Your Excellency Commander, we have burned down Meizhen and all the surrounding villages, won't it make the people of China here hate the Imperial Japanese Army even more?" The common people here hate the imperial army even more, and in turn, they will support the Chinese army even more, and it will be more laborious to deal with it in the future. ”

"You know what?" Heiji Kawaguchi said coldly, "My name is the bottom of the kettle, and it is the only way to crack the tunnel tactics of the Shina Army." ”

"The only way to crack the tunnels?" Yongjin Da was also stunned and said, "You didn't say anything about it just now?" ”

Kawaguchi Heiji said: "I just said that there is no way, there is no way to solve it militarily, but there is no way to crack it militarily, it does not mean that it cannot be solved politically, and this trick can be used to crack the tunnel tactics politically." ”

Yongjin Tatsuya also looked at Kawaguchi Heiji with wide eyes, saying that he didn't understand, he really didn't understand how this trick could break the tunnel tactics of the independent regiment?

Heiji Kawaguchi didn't bother to explain.

(Dividing Line)

At this time, Xu Rui also had a premonition.

As mentioned earlier, in addition to hearing, smell, and vision, Xu Rui's intuition is also very powerful, from the sudden withdrawal of the devil from Xiaolizhuang, Xu Rui has already keenly felt that the devil may have to withdraw his troops, at least the old devil Kawaguchi Heiji has already had the idea of retiring from the army.

Of course, Xu Rui hoped that the Kawaguchi detachment would not withdraw so quickly, because the Kawaguchi detachment had such a big piece of fat to his mouth, and he had just taken a small bite, but the fat in his mouth was about to fly away, of course Xu Rui was not happy, so he had to bite him a few big bites before he could let the Kawaguchi detachment go, right?

Therefore, Xu Rui was really worried that the Kawaguchi detachment would leave.

"What do you say, Lao Xu? Retirement? Wang Husheng didn't believe it, "How is it possible, the little devil has only been in our Dameishan base for a few days?" A serious battle has not been fought once, so we have to withdraw our troops? Isn't that little devil's sweep just a child's play? Impossible, impossible, impossible. ”

Xu Rui said: "Why is it impossible, if I were an old devil like Kawaguchi, I would withdraw my troops without hesitation." ”

Wang Husheng said: "But the problem is that you are not Kawaguchi Heiji, you know that our authenticity is powerful, but Kawaguchi Heiji, the old devil, doesn't know, with the bird's nature of the little devil, they will never withdraw their troops." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Kawaguchi already knows how powerful we are." Xu Rui said.

Speaking of this, Xu Rui suddenly figured it out, no wonder before the war, he always vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think of it, but now he understands that this tunnel war is too unsolvable, and it is beyond the ability of the little devil, and the little devil is very likely to withdraw his troops knowing that there is no hope of victory.

It would be a good thing if the little devils could be forced to return in vain, because in any case, this also means that the anti-sweeping operation will be won, and both the people in the base area and the morale of the independent regiment can be encouraged and improved, but I am afraid that the little devils will not return empty-handed.

If the little devil does something else, it will be really a big problem.

Tunnel warfare cannot be solved militarily, but it does not mean that it cannot be solved politically.

If the little devil burned down Meizhen and the surrounding villages before leaving, this time, although the independent regiment had no casualties and no failure, the people in the base area suffered and were all homeless, which also means that this counter-sweep was actually a failure from a political perspective.

If it's just one time, it's nothing, and the people in the base area can afford to lose.

It's terrible, I'm afraid, the little devil will come every once in a while, and he will burn it once in a while, and the people in the base area will have gold and silver, and they have to toss the poor, once or twice, and the people won't say anything, but three or four times, the people will no longer have no complaints.

What are we sending our children to the army for? Isn't it just to protect us? Now the little devils come to the base area to spread the wilderness at every turn, but your independent regiment has never been able to protect the safety of our property, so why should we send our own children to the army?

If this continues for a long time, the independent regiment will lose the support of the people, until it will not be able to gain a foothold in Dameishan!

And this is the political level of the bottom of the kettle draw, this is very powerful, because it has been proven in history, Okamura Ningji's public security and suppression war in North China belongs to such a draw, and the effect is that in just over a year, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has been sharply reduced from more than 400,000 to less than 200,000.

Therefore, Xu Rui was also afraid that Kawaguchi Heiji would give him a salary draw.

But that's the way things are in the world, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

Xu Rui was worried here, and Sai Hongfu walked in with a telegram.

After taking the telegram and looking at it for a while, Xu Rui's face changed, Wang Husheng found that Xu Rui's expression was different, so he took the telegram from him, and then Wang Husheng immediately shouted.

"My goodness, this old devil in Kawaguchi really wants to withdraw his troops?" Wang Husheng said in surprise.

It's not wrong, it's a surprise, Leng Tiefeng's observation post reported that the devil was packing up and seemed to be withdrawing his troops, Wang Husheng's first reaction after seeing it was to be happy, because the devil's withdrawal from Meizhen at this time was in vain, and the devil's futility meant that the independent regiment's anti-sweeping operation was victorious.

Xu Rui poured a basin of cold water on Wang Husheng and said: "Political commissar, you are too happy, even if the little devil chooses to withdraw his troops, he will never just pat his ass and leave, if I am not mistaken, the devil will definitely be preparing to set fire." ”

"Set fire?" Wang Husheng said in a daze, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Rui sighed: "I mean, the little devil will definitely set fire to Meizhen and all the surrounding villages before leaving, and the people in the base area will soon be homeless." ”

"What?" Wang Husheng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said urgently, "That's not good, we have to stop them!" ”

"Stop them?" Xu Rui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How to stop it?" The devil wishes we could show up so that he can fight us in a decisive battle. ”

"What then?" Wang Husheng said, "Do you want to watch the devils burn down the entire town?" ”

Xu Rui sighed: "I'm afraid it can only be like this." ”
