The effective tactics of the Japanese troops to sweep the troops of the Eighth Route Army were to besiege them by separate routes, and the Japanese troops would often transfer 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and then divide them into several routes to attack.

These 20,000 troops were transferred from various units, and the timing of the attack by several Japanese troops was also different, and the attacking troops belonged to different divisions, regiments, brigades, and regiments, so joint operations were naturally flawed.

The North China Front Command was also aware of this problem, and this time they had transferred the complete strength of each division, regiment, brigade, and regiment, but they still adopted a separate siege strategy.

According to the plan of the North China Front, there were more Japanese troops this time, and they planned to divide the troops into 25 routes, and the 25 routes of Japanese troops were aimed at capturing Wutai County and Fuping County, the core areas of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and these Japanese troops were to carry out combat missions according to different offensive routes and different offensive times.

Okabe Naosaburo had already discussed this with Ishihara on the train, and Ishihara thought that it was completely wrong to adopt such a tactic.

"Ishihara-kun, in your opinion, how should we attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army?" Terauchi Shouichi heard Ishihara Wan'er disagree, and he immediately asked.

Shouichi Terauchi trusts Ishihara's wisdom very much, and he knows that Ishihara does have a unique vision in strategy.

"I learned from the commander of the Okabe Division that the North China Imperial Army suffered heavy losses from the troops of the Eighth Route Army in China several times, and the main reason was that they made the mistake of dispersing their forces. The Eighth Route Army is different from the Chinese troops we have dealt with, and they are superior to other Eighth Route Army units in terms of combat effectiveness, especially Sun Weiguo's troops.

Considering that Sun Weiguo's troops possess a large number of armored units, and that Sun Weiguo is able to skillfully command armored troops in combat, his own division can compete with our permanent divisions, and Sun Weiguo's troops have an absolute advantage in dealing with our special divisions and divisions and regiments under the police reserve three-wing system. The North China Imperial Army launched a combat operation against the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region this time, and the Sun Weiguo Department of the Eighth Route Army in Pingding County would inevitably participate in the war. ”

Ishihara came to the map, he took the baton from Yamashita Fengwen, he pointed to the location of Pingding County on the map, and said in a solemn tone.

He knew the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's troops, and he knew even more that if the Japanese army in North China continued to divide its forces to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army, then it would definitely end the operation with defeat.

"Ishihara-kun, from your point of view, what tactics should our troops adopt to win?" Shouichi Terauchi continued to ask.

Ishihara stared at the map, a solemn expression on his face, and a contemplative glint in his eyes.

Looking at the huge map of China, and looking at Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, which occupy a small place on the map, Ishihara Waner's eyes began to focus on Pingding County.

For Ishihara Wan'er, although the target of the Japanese army in North China was the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, he knew that Sun Weiguo's troops were going to participate in the war no matter what.

In Ishihara's view, the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region are not to be worried, and what really makes him unable to easily solve it is Sun Weiguo's honorary second division troops.

"The main force of the 109th Division of the First Army went north, and the 26th Division of the Xinxian County and the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army was independently mixed into the second brigade, and the two divisions quickly marched east to attack Wutai County, and the 110th Division was attached to the independent mixed fourth brigade to start westward from Baoding, first capture Fuping County and Laiyuan County, and then enter Shanxi Province, and the 109th Division, the 26th Division, and the independent mixed second brigade to attack Wutai County, completely destroying the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."

"The 109th Division, the 26th Division, and the 110th Division, independently mixed into the second brigade, and the independent mixed fourth brigade captured the area where the Eighth Route Army was stationed, immediately built watchtower fortifications and made long-term defense preparations.

"The 1st Division is stationed in Zanhuang County to put the 2nd Division of Sun Weiguo Honor in Pingding County on alert, once the troops of the 2nd Division of Sun Weiguo Honor have taken action, the 1st Division will immediately launch an attack on Pingding County, the 1st Division, the 21st Division, the 114th Division, the independent garrison, and the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade are responsible for besieging the troops of the 2nd Division of Sun Weiguo Honor, if the troops of the 2nd Division of Sun Weiguo Honor do not take any action, the 1st Division will immediately march towards Wutai County."

Ishihara pointed to the map, and he immediately said his suggestion.

Different from the combat plan formulated by the North China Front, Ishihara Guaner divided the troops into three routes, and the strength of the Japanese troops on each route exceeded 20,000 people, especially the Japanese troops on the west route, they had 21 divisions, 109 divisions, independent mixed into the second brigade, and independent mixed into the fourth brigade, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people.

Ishihara Wan'er's plan was formulated perfectly, the first division was in Zanhuang County to guard the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honor Second Division, Sun Weiguo's troops did not take action, once Sun Weiguo's troops took action, then the Japanese troops would definitely attack quickly, and the Japanese army would gather three divisions and an independent garrison, and a mixed brigade unit to attack the troops of the Honor Second Division.

This time, the Japanese troops can be said to have invested enough money, and there are think tank staff officers like Ishihara Waner to assist in command.

"Mixi, Ishihara-kun, your battle plan is perfect, I believe that the North China Imperial Army will definitely be able to win this time."

Shou Terauchi, who was sitting on the chair, stood up at first, and his eyes looked at Ishihara Wan'er, with an approving expression on his face.

"Your Excellency Commander, we must pay special attention to Sun Weiguo's troops, I have read from the information that many times Sun Weiguo's troops have acted in advance, and their troops have acted in concealment, so we have not been aware of their whereabouts at all. If you want to win this time, you will need the full cooperation of the intelligence agencies! ”

Ishihara looked at Shouichi Terauchi, and he suggested again.

Since he was invited to the North China Front to assist in command, Ishihara has made a lot of efforts, and he has carefully learned about the situation of Sun Weiguo's troops.

"I will ask the intelligence agencies to carefully keep an eye on any move of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division, and at the same time, I will also issue an order for the 21st Division and other troops to pay close attention to the situation of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division, as long as they make any moves, we will know immediately, after they take action, our troops will attack immediately, and they will definitely be able to catch them off guard."

Terauchi Shou nodded, he agreed with Ishihara's suggestion, this time he was the honorary second division unit that focused on guarding against Sun Weiguo.
