[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 933: The Japanese Army's Conspiracy (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

At the beginning, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not pay attention to Ma Zheng's reminder, but as soon as the 129th Division came into contact with the Japanese army on the Changzhi front, the problem came out. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The Japanese army, which was originally extremely weak in combat effectiveness, was suddenly like a change of troops, and the combat effectiveness was called a fierce, in the battle of October 3 alone, the 129th Division suffered more than 7,000 casualties, of which more than 3,000 were killed in direct battle, and the entire four regiments were either directly erased or lost their combat effectiveness, and the losses were extremely heavy.

At the same time, the Chinese troops on the outskirts of Taiyuan City were progressing smoothly, especially the 1st Integrated Division of the Suicha Military Region in the direction of Xinkou and the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division in the Jingle direction, which advanced 100 kilometers in less than a day, which was not much different from a rapid march. In particular, the cavalry regiment of the first division rushed all the way south for 170 miles and directly captured Quyang, the northern gateway of Taiyuan.

At the same time, the reorganized Fourth Division, which was responsible for the westward advance, also went smoothly, and on October 3, it successively captured Niangzi Pass, Chengjia Station, Xiapanshi, and infinitely close to Yangquan.

However, Ma Zheng saw some clues from this, although the Japanese army was trying its best to cover up, but with the gradual advancement of various battlefields, its intention to withdraw from Shanxi became more and more obvious. If the Japanese army really wants to defend Shanxi, at least Yangquan and Xinkou will not be able to give up, because once these two places are abandoned, then they can only defend an empty city in Taiyuan.

As we all know, fighting a defensive war is not about defending an isolated city, if you defend an isolated city, you are defending it, and the possibility of holding it is very small. Because of the lack of strategic support points, even if there are reinforcements, they may not be able to win the strategic initiative in a short time, so the defense of the city must not be stubbornly defended.

Such a simple truth can be understood by any person who has gone to a military school, and there is no reason why the Japanese do not know, besides, the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, is still a good commander, with strong ability and experience, and a full veteran, it is impossible for such a commander to make such a low-level mistake, and there is only one possibility for this, that is, what the Japanese army is covering.

So what are the Japanese hiding exactly?

Ma Zheng looked at the map again and again, and finally set his sights on the line from Changzhi to Jincheng, you must know that the Japanese army stationed on this line has more than 60,000 troops, and there are two divisions and regiments alone, and Taiyuan City is said to have only three divisions.

Such a troop configuration is simply a joke, only Jincheng is the only place that can be called a strategic place in the southeast of Jin, and there is no need to defend the rest, so it is strange that the Japanese army has stationed so many troops on this line.

Suddenly, Ma Zheng saw Jiaozuo and Anyang in northern Henan, and saw the new Zheng and Kaifeng on the map, and suddenly Ma Zheng suddenly realized that the Japanese were fleeing.

Just run away, but Okamura Ningji is obviously unwilling, and he has to give the Eighth Route Army a trap to get out of this evil breath.

The former commander of the Japanese garrison in Shimen had become Ma Zheng's temporary headquarters at this time, and he understood that Ma Zheng felt bad all over the person, and he couldn't take care of the staff officers who were discussing, so he immediately said loudly: "Operator, immediately send a report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and ask them to immediately withdraw their troops from the southeast front line of Shanxi, don't have any hesitation, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Ma Zheng's sudden order startled the entire former enemy command, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, not understanding what Ma Zheng meant.

Chief of Staff Xu Yinghui immediately came over and asked, "Commander, did you find any problems, why did you suddenly let the troops in the southeast of Jin withdraw from the battle?" ”

Ma Zheng frowned and said: "The Japanese army in the southeast of Jin is a trap for our Eighth Route Army, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid it will be too late to withdraw in the future!" ”

"What do you mean? Is it possible that the Japanese are still thinking about setting us up at this time? Xu Yinghui was obviously a little unconvinced.

"What's impossible about this, take a look at how many Japanese puppet troops there are in the southeast of Jin, and then look at how many are near Taiyuan City?" Ma Zheng said immediately.

"According to the battle reports on the front line, the Japanese army has stationed two infantry divisions and more than 40,000 puppet troops on the front line of Changzhi and Jincheng, with a total strength of about 65,000 people, while there are two infantry divisions of the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, plus other sporadic troops, the total strength should be about 35,000 people! But what does this mean, shouldn't the Japanese be like this in order to take care of the future ahead? Xu Yinghui said immediately.

"Of course it shouldn't be like this, with the pride and arrogance of the Japanese, how could they ever do something like defeat without a fight, this is not in line with their combat style! What's more, since the Japanese are going to fight a decisive battle with us in Shanxi, they will never put the main force in the southeast of Jin, not on the periphery of Taiyuan, so I think the Japanese army is preparing to escape! Ma Zheng said in surprise.

"Run? Impossible, right? Since they want to escape, they should not evacuate Taiyuan City quickly, once all our troops encircle Taiyuan City, it will be too late for them to withdraw even if they want to. Xu Yinghui said.

Ma Zheng immediately said: "I'm afraid this is related to the old devil of Okamura Ningci, this old devil let us put together, with a Zhangjiakou for a Shanxi Province, I must be very unhappy, not to mention that some time ago we exchanged space for time in exchange for Japanese casualties The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and if we lost a Shanxi, the Japanese army's losses must be extremely heavy, so this old devil is thinking about revenge!" ”

"How?"

"Take the Eighth Route Army headquarters and open the knife!"

Seeing Xu Yinghui's bewildered look, Ma Zheng knew that he didn't quite understand, and immediately said: "The Japanese army wants to withdraw but is unwilling, so it decided to use Taiyuan City and the entire First Army as bait to put us together, if I expected it to be good, there are not many Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan City at this time, those so-called Japanese soldiers are likely to be fake soldiers, and the real Japanese army is probably all withdrawn to the southeast of Shanxi now!" ”

"What... Miscellaneous... What... Xu Yinghui was shocked.

"Don't be so surprised, you should have read the battle report on the front line, do you think that if it was a real Japanese army defending the city, our troops would be able to advance so smoothly? Not to mention other strategic locations, if the Japanese army puts an infantry brigade at Niangzi Pass, we won't have a week to stop fighting. Looking at the current situation, it only took us half a day to take down the lady, is this reasonable? ”

"Unreasonable!"

"It's unreasonable, because the troops guarding the pass there are not Japanese troops at all, but puppet troops, and only the puppet army will lose the lady in half a day." Ma Zheng said.

At this time, Xu Yinghui reacted, and immediately asked: "Commander, do you mean that the little devil played a ghost trick for us to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, on the surface, he put on a posture of defending Taiyuan, but secretly withdrew all the main forces of the Japanese army to the southeast of Jin, and now the Japanese soldiers who remain in the city are all puppet soldiers wearing dog skins and pretending?" ”

"That's how it should be!"

"I hear you mean that the reason why the Japanese army is not in such a hurry to withdraw its troops is that it intends to make a fortune from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and then go back, which means that the troops of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi have fallen into the trap?"

"Well, the Japanese army previously put on an appearance that its combat effectiveness was not good, on the one hand, it was to attract the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to attack, and secondly, it was to make excuses for pulling troops from the Taiyuan front line to Changzhi, otherwise the mobilization of tens of thousands of people from Taiyuan to Changzhi at once would inevitably attract our attention."

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Obviously, the Japanese army's strategy has been successful, they not only succeeded in transferring the main force out of the big fire pit in Taiyuan City, but also deceived the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and nearly 100,000 troops. ”

Xu Yinghui suddenly gasped, if it was really as Ma Zheng guessed, then the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army would be dangerous. After all, which units under the command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters have uneven combat effectiveness, and there are not many decent heavy weapons, if they really fight to the elite like the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, the consequences can be imagined.
