Nobu Takahashi has only done two things these days.

The first thing he did was to send a small team to lurk in the Erlang Mountain area, hoping to find out the real situation of Ye Tufei's department.

The second thing is to check the carrier pigeons in the whole city, because he suspects that Ye Tufei has installed eyeliner in the city, and the information transmission between this eyeliner and Erlang Mountain is the carrier pigeon that he relies on.

Yesterday evening, both of these things achieved their purpose, especially the first thing, which exceeded Takahashi's expectations.

After the captain and sniper of the squad returned to Xuzhou City in shock, they met Takahashi Shin with trepidation. The reason for these two people is that only two people from a six-member team have returned, and they have not received any information, which is a great failure, and they are mentally prepared to accept punishment.

Who knew that after listening to the report of these two people, Takahashi Shin actually smiled happily, he shook the hand of the team leader with a little excitement, thanked him repeatedly, and praised these two people for their great contributions to the empire.

Takahashi Shin is not hypocritical, nor is he playing the way of manipulating people, he has a feeling, because he concluded that the person who killed his four imperial warriors in the blink of an eye is Ye Tufei, and this person was shot by an imperial sniper, and his life and death are unknown.

Here's your chance!

After sending away the squad leader and sniper, Takahashi Shin immediately recruited Keigo Yamashita.

"Ye Tufei was shot, and now his life and death are unknown, I think this is our best chance to defeat Ye Tufei's department in one fell swoop!"

Yamashita Keigo felt the same way, couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "I'm like a division commander reporting and asking the division commander to send troops to assist, Takahashi-kun, how many troops do you think we need?" One brigade or two brigades? ”

Takahashi Shin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so aggressive, a maximum of two squadrons is enough!" ”

Yamashita Keigo exclaimed, "Two squadrons? Takahashi-kun, Ye Tufei and they have 800 people, we are two squadrons, are we sure of victory? ”

Takahashi Shin smiled contemptuously and said, "Is it useful to have a lot of people?" In Xinkou, I, General Itagaki, defeated the defense line composed of 20 Chinese divisions with the strength of half a division. Yamashita-kun, once this gang of bandits loses Ye Tufei, it will be a rabble, not to mention two squadrons, even if there is only one squadron, they can win the battle. ”

Yamashita Jingwu said: "Then what if Ye Tufei is not seriously injured and is safe and sound?" ”

Takahashi Xin smiled bitterly: "Then we can only go back the same way, I don't want to fight Ye Tufei to the death, at least now is not the time." ”

Yamashita Keigo said, "Why did Takahashi-kun say that?" ”

Takahashi Xin sighed and said: "There is a saying in the ancient Chinese art of war that knows oneself and knows that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles, in this regard, we and Ye Tufei are half a catty and eight taels, and we are very familiar with each other, so we can only compare the time and place and the people, fighting in the Erlang Mountain area, our army has the advantage of time and place, including people, and does not have an advantage, if you want to annihilate Ye Tufei, you must use at least two wings of troops, the price is too great, and the division commander will never agree." ”

Yamashita Keigo thought for a moment and said, "Erlang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is indeed difficult to eat Ye Tufei in one fell swoop. Takahashi-kun, don't we have any other way? ”

Takahashi smiled: "Other way? Is there anything else we need to think of now? If the shot of our sniper kills Ye Tufei, without Ye Tufei, those hundreds of people are a group of rabble, and it would be good to hand them over to the Imperial Alliance Army to deal with, and there would be no need to take the lives of the imperial warriors. If Ye Tufei was only seriously injured, then we would take the opportunity to kill them and catch them off guard. ”

Yamashita Keigo said solemnly: "With Takahashi-kun's strategy, Ye Tufei will definitely perish this time." I'll go to the division commander to report! ”

Takahashi Shin slowly closed his eyes and said, "The soldier is fast!" ”

Two hours later, the division commander agreed to Yamashita Keigo's request and sent two infantry squadrons for Takahashi to deploy.

But at this time, it was already the middle of the night, and Takahashi Nobu was worried that the movement of the march at this time would be too big, which would attract the attention of Ye Tufei and the eyeliner in the city, so he decided to leave until tomorrow morning.

When the troops were ready to go the next morning, Takahashi ordered the troops to leave the city through the west gate.

Yamashita Keigo was puzzled and asked the reason, Takahashi Shin smiled: "From Xuzhou City to Erlang Mountain, this short sixty-kilometer road, Ye Tufei doesn't know how many eyeliners are arranged, as long as we lift our feet, in less than half an hour, we will get information over there, so can we still achieve the purpose of the raid?" ”

Yamashita Keigo understood, and said, "I understand, Takahashi-kun wants to bypass these eyeliners of Ye Tufei." ”

Takahashi Shin asked his subordinates to unfold a map and draw a route on the map with his fingers: "We take a bend from here, although we have to walk twice as long, but we can avoid Ye Tufei's eyeliner, and the time we arrived at Erlang Mountain should be around two o'clock in the afternoon, which happens to be the most tired and sleepy time of the day in this season, we can ......"

Nobu Takahashi didn't finish his words, but laughed out loud, and the laughter revealed hideousness and smugness.

After Takahashi Xin led the troops to the predetermined location, the plainclothes scouts who were sent out in advance to inquire about the news were already waiting here, and when they saw the arrival of the large army, they hurriedly reported to Takahashi Shin, saying that Ye Tufei had been seriously injured and died at night, and the news was undoubted.

Takahashi naturally refused to believe it and sent plainclothes again.

Not long after, the second batch of plainclothes sent out returned one after another, and the content of the report was the same: "Ye Tufei is confirmed to be dead, a funeral is being held for Ye Tufei on Erlang Mountain, and large families within a radius of dozens of miles have sent condolence representatives." ”

This time, Takahashi had to believe it.

Yamashita Keigo suggested, "Takahashi-kun, we might as well take the opportunity to raid, I think we will definitely be able to achieve satisfactory results." ”

Takahashi Shin shook his head and said, "At this moment, they must be in full battle, our army is attacking now, and they may not be able to bargain." In addition, Ye Tufei has just died, his brother must be full of grief and indignation, at this time the fighting spirit is the highest, our army launched an attack at this time, it is difficult to destroy the enemy army in faith, only to increase our casualties. ”

Yamashita Keigo said, "What does Takahashi-kun mean that we will withdraw from the army?" ”

Takahashi still shook his head: "No! I still don't believe that Ye Tufei died like this, I need more certain news. ”

Yamashita Keigo immediately beckoned his men and instructed him to organize a group of plainclothes scouts.

Takahashi Shin stopped Keigo Yamashita and explained: "No matter how many people are sent, the news that comes back from the inquiry is the same, Yamashita-kun, we have to test Ye Tufei in another way." ”

"Another way?" Keigo Yamashita's mind couldn't turn, "Takahashi-kun, how are you going to test it?" ”

Takahashi's answer was simple but firm: "Attack!" ”

Takahashi Shin made an offensive attempt to test Ye Tufei's subordinates, thinking that if Ye Tufei was really dead, then his brothers would fight back angrily because of grief and indignation, and if Ye Tufei was playing dead, then they would not fight hard. When the time comes, you only need to flexibly adjust your tactics, and it is possible to achieve the desired goal.

"When attacking, the number of troops invested should not be too much, a small team is enough. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a distance from the enemy, use heavy firepower to attack from a distance, and do not rush into organizing infantry charges. ”

Just when Takahashi Shin was actively preparing for a fire attack test, Ye Tufei was lying on the bed and was just listening to the report of the information collected by Yan Xiwen's parties.

"So, Takahashi Shin came here after a big detour." At this time, it has been five hours since Ye Tufei woke up, during which Ye Tufei drank some gruel and squinted again, and his spirit is much better now than in the morning.

Yan Xiwen replied with a smile: "Judging from the direction of returning from the small Japanese plainclothes, Takahashi Shin should be gathered in the Guzhuang area at this moment. After a pause, Yan Xiwen asked again, "Will Takahashi believe in our arrangement?" ”

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not, pour him a ** soup first." ”

Yan Xiwen also smiled and said: "When I was in the ** system, I had the nickname of an old fox, and now compared with your brother Ye, my old fox is well deserved!" ”

Ye Tufei said: "Why do I think there is something in your words when I hear you?" Didn't you turn around the bush and say I'm a vixen? ”

Yan Xiwen stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "I'm afraid that the fox spirit will lower his head when he sees you." Seriously, Brother Ye, the method I added to you later is to admire the five-body throw, hehe, as long as he Takahashi Xin dares to act rashly, he can't eat and walk around. ”

Ye Tufei pursed his lips and said, "That method is still learned from you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Tufei knew that he had missed his mouth, and he didn't know how to round it for a while, so he could only let Yan Xiwen tilt his head and ask: "What do you mean by this?" Where did we teach you all these crooked things? ”

Ye Tufei smiled: "Do you call him a crooked door or an evil way?" You just say, it's okay to beat little Japan in this way, right? ”

Yan Xiwen said: "Of course it's good!" ”

Ye Tufei said disdainfully: "That's not the end!" As long as it's good, then make it, whether he's bright or not, as long as he can kill Little Japan, that's a good way! ”

Yan Xiwen gave Ye Tufei a thumbs up with a smile and shouted, "Well said! That's right! ”

The tactics that these two people said like dumb riddles to deal with Takahashi Shin's crooked ways are actually the tactics used to deal with the sweep of Little Japan, but Ye Tufei slightly improved the sparrow warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare, etc., and then integrated them together. That's why there is Ye Tufei's sentence 'I learned from you'.

It's just that Yan Xiwen hasn't stayed in the base area, so he doesn't know anything about the irregular tactics created by these people in actual combat, but Ye Tufei has read a lot of books about this kind of battle, so he is naturally handy in applying it.

However, all this carefully prepared by Ye Tufei did not come in handy, because Takahashi Shin neither withdrew nor took the opportunity to attack in a big way, but only sent a squad to launch a heavy fire suppressive attack on the garrison of Erlang Mountain Pass.

This result was completely beyond Ye Tufei's expectations.
