In the city of Shenyang, the highest Japanese army was actually in the headquarters. The commander was standing in his headquarters, pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting for the latest information in the direction of Xinzhuang Village... And at this moment, a rush of footsteps reached the commander's ears. Immediately after, a communications staff officer rushed into his office with an anxious face, and reported breathlessly: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Akagi Shaoza is in a hurry..."

"Akagi Shaosa, could it be that the reinforcements out of the city, something happened again" The commander frowned tightly, thinking secretly in his heart. Glancing at the communications staff officer with a nervous look on his face, the commander spoke: "Read..."

"Haiyi, Akagi Shaoza reported that the communication route from Shenyang to Xinzhuang Village has been completely destroyed by the Chinese people, and the troops can only get out of the car and march on foot... At the same time, the troops were on the road and were attacked by mines planted by the chinensis. Based on the form and power of the mines planted on the road, Akagi Shaoza deduced that the people of China who intercepted the special grain train this time were the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area. The entire reinforcement force was marching very slowly because of the large number of mines. Akagi Shaoza asked for operational guidance from the headquarters..."The communications staff officer replied in a low voice...

"The Eighth Route Army, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area... How is it possible, the commander of the Yoshimoto Division clearly reported that the county seat of Baishan was being attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army at this moment. The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area has all gathered in Baishan County, how can it appear near Xinzhuang Village..."After listening to the answer of the communications staff officer, the commander frowned tightly, and asked the chief of staff beside him with a puzzled expression...

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain... Your Excellency, Commander, I think that the Eighth Route Army must have used a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain. Their real goal in attacking Baishan County is not to capture Baishan County, but the three million catties of grain that we plan to send to Baishan County...."Seeing the commander's inquiring eyes, the chief of staff sorted out the thoughts in his mind. Facing the commander in front of him, he tentatively said what he thought in his heart...

"Nani? Turning the tiger away from the mountain... Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, we were fooled... Quick, communications staff officer, immediately report all the situation that happened in Xinzhuang Village, including the interception of the grain transportation break by the Eighth Route Army and our inference, to Lieutenant General Yoshimoto in Baishan County, go quickly..."

Under the reminder of the chief of staff of the division and regiment, the commander, who has rich combat experience, immediately reacted. Then, facing the communication staff officer in front of him, he ordered with an eager face...

"Chief of Staff, inform the Air Force that all the situation in Xinzhuang Village must be investigated as soon as possible. At the same time, the bomber squadron was ordered to continuously harass the grain transport army of the Eighth Route Army. In a word, even if this grain is destroyed, it will not be able to transport this grain into the base area of the Eighth Route Army and boost the strength of our enemy..."Looking at the communications staff officer who was leaving quickly. The commander turned to the chief of staff in front of him and continued to give the big new order

"Hai, Your Excellency the Commander is wise, and he will immediately deliver the order..."The Chief of Staff quickly took the order...

At this moment, in Baishan County, the division commander Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, who was still in the dark. With a group of operational staff officers, around a huge combat sand table, he confidently formulated a battle plan for encircling and annihilating the main force of the Eighth Route Army of more than 10,000 people outside the city. I didn't know at all that at this moment, a quarter of their grain and grass had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army...

Just when Lieutenant General Yoshimoto pointed to the combat sand table in front of him and began to issue specific combat missions according to the combat plan that had just been discussed. The sound of hurried footsteps entered the war room. Immediately, a report interrupted Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, who was rising and gave a specific order to encircle and annihilate in front of him...

"Baga, what's the matter, panicked. Don't you know that I'm arranging combat missions, and these tasks are very important fighter secrets? After glaring fiercely at the communications staff officer in front of him, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said with an unhappy face...

"Hai, division commander. The Shenyang Garrison Headquarters sent an urgent telegram that a special train transporting grain and grass for us was hijacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army near Xinzhuang Village. At the same time, the reinforcements in the direction of Shenyang, also under the resistance of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, made slow progress ... The specific situation is unknown..."In the face of the question of the division commander, the communication staff officer, who was the captain of the Kwantung Army, did not have any fear, but raised his head and replied loudly, saying the content of the telegram in his hand..., "Nani, what did you say? Our special grain train was sacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army... How is it possible, isn't the main force of the Eighth Route Army, who is besieging our Baishan County, how can it run to our rear and sneak attack our special grain train. Impossible, absolutely impossible..."At the same time as shocked, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression...

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Vice Admiral Yoshimoto, who has a wealth of combat experience, seems to have thought of something. Immediately, the face that was still full of confidence just now revealed a trace of gloomy haze.0 In less than a few seconds, the whole face was replaced by gloom...

"Smack..."Lieutenant General Yoshimoto slapped the combat sand table in front of him fiercely. Then, facing a combat staff officer in front of him who was also puzzled, he suddenly shouted: "Baga, we have been tricked... The Eighth Route Army is really very cunning, we have been so cautious, we still fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain... Eight Grid Tooth Road..."

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain... Division commander, the nearly 10,000 Eighth Route Army in front of us is..."Similarly, the chief of staff of the division and regiment standing beside Lieutenant General Yoshimoto also showed a look of sudden realization on his face. Then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he asked a question that had just surfaced in his mind...

"Nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army... Of course, it was a bait in the Eighth Route Army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and one that made us deceived. Mobilize all the main forces of the defense line to a huge bait around the county seat..."Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's face immediately showed a gloomy murderous aura Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network

Because, it was this decoy that fooled Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, who had always been invincible in the Kwantung Army. At the same time, in his brilliant military career, there was a big black spot at the end... Thinking of the wisdom of his life, he will be in the hands of this Eighth Route Army of nearly 10,000 people. At this moment, the hatred for the nearly 10,000 Eighth Route Army outside the city, as the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, can be said to be more profound than anyone else...

However, at this moment, the face of the chief of staff of the division and regiment did not show any hatred. It's shock, it's shock...

Because, the combat effectiveness of the nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of him was well manifested in front of everyone through a night of fighting. And at this moment, these nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army are just a bait in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, a bait that may be given up at any time. So, what kind of combat effectiveness will the real main force of the Eighth Route Army have? The main force of the Eighth Route Army, how many regular troops will it have... All this has put a huge question mark in the mind of the chief of staff... Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network

Thinking of this, the chief of staff, who had a shocked look on his face, couldn't help but say to the division commander in front of him, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto...

"The commander of the division, nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city with strong combat effectiveness turned out to be the bait in the hands of the Eighth Route Army... Then, I think that we must re-evaluate our opponents, and the real strength of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area is somewhat less. How many troops are there in their main force..."Facing this moment, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the division commander who was already full of hatred for the nearly 10,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. The chief of staff looked at his partner and kindly reminded...

And such a reminder is because he knows his partner well enough. His partner is an imperial youth officer who has revenge... If at this moment, in order to take revenge, he vents the hatred in his heart. With the strength of a division, he rashly fought a decisive battle with the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city... Well, in the end, it will inevitably cause immeasurable damage...

However, apparently the chief of staff of the division underestimated the patience of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto ... As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's gloomy face began to slowly dissipate. Then, a pair of sharp eyes began to scan the huge sand table in front of him. Based on the latest information, we are thinking about possible countermeasures... Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network

After a short period of analytical thinking, he looked at the location of Xinzhuang Village on the flash disk. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's face immediately showed a strange smile. Said to the chief of staff in front of him...

"Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, evaded our realization, and quietly ran to our rear to intercept our food. Although, the whole plan, we have only now seen through, and let the Eighth Route Army realize its combat intentions. But it's not too late to lose now... You see, Xinzhuang Village is here, and it is a full 50 kilometers away from the defense line that we have arranged around the base area of the Eighth Route Army....and after the Eighth Route Army has intercepted a full 3 million catties of grain, it wants to transport all of it back to their base area. Fifty kilometers is enough time for them to travel for at least ten hours. And since the interception of military rations, only a little more than an hour has passed. In other words, our enemy, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, have at least eight hours left for us to deploy...", after glancing at the thoughtful chief of staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said. ,

"I believe that we are fully capable of blocking a breakthrough opened by the Eighth Route Army on our defense line within eight hours. Thus, isolating the main forces of the Eighth Route Army from their base areas....If we can really realize this strategic intention, a new fighter plane will appear in front of us. The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which was blocked by us in Xinzhuang Village, will also become a dish in front of us, and we can eat it as much as we want..."

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise....if the Eighth Route Army loses the support of their so-called base area. Then, this unit of the Eighth Route Army, whether in terms of food or ammunition replenishment, will be in an unprecedented desperate situation. When the time comes, they will be like the Sato Division that has been completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army... At that time, it will be the best opportunity for our Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army troops, our 27th Division, to show their strength and destroy this Eighth Route Army..."After a short period of thought, a smile appeared on the chief of staff's face, and he replied excitedly. At the same time, he patted the ass of the division commander in front of him a little...

"Yo Si! Chief of Staff, you are absolutely right. At that time, it will be the best time for our 27th Division to display its ambitions and show its strength. Command the communications department to contact all the strongholds on our defense line at once to see if any of them have lost contact with that stronghold ... The main force of the Eighth Route Army, with tens of thousands of troops, must occupy one or two strongholds on our defensive line if they want to quietly enter our rear....", Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, immediately ordered...

"Hey, I'm going to give the order right away...."The Chief of Staff quickly left the war room and ran towards the telecommunications room not far away... Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network

Time passed minute by minute, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, waited patiently. Half an hour later, the chief of staff was excited and rushed into the war room again...

"The commander of the division, it has been found out. After contact with the communications department, only the Hanzhuang stronghold has lost contact with us... If nothing else, the stronghold of Hanzhuang has been quietly occupied by the Eighth Route Army. And the main force of the Eighth Route Army quietly broke through our army's defense line from the stronghold of Hanzhuang, entered Hanzhuang Village, and intercepted our special train for transporting grain..."Seeing the inquiring eyes of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, the chief of staff hurriedly replied...

"Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina people. It seems that, as the chief of staff said, it seems that we really underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area ... After half a month of construction by our army, the Hanzhuang stronghold can be said to be one of the few large-scale strongholds on our army's defense line. Although, two squadrons of Imperial troops were transferred. However, according to the garrison troops inside the store still exceeded four hundred people ... The strength of 400 people, with strong fortifications, was quietly eliminated by the troops of the Eighth Route Army. This is simply incredible, when did the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army units have such strong combat effectiveness...."I looked at the text novel, and I arrived: Enlightenment Book Network glanced at the location of Hanzhuang's stronghold on the sand table. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, couldn't help but sigh with emotion...

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now the stronghold of Hanzhuang has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army. However, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was near Xinzhuang Village, rushing to transport and intercept 3 million catties of grain from our army. He thought that we should immediately dispatch heavy troops to recapture the stronghold of Hanzhuang and block the safe passage for the Eighth Route Army to withdraw to the base area. Then, from the hands of the Eighth Route Army, all the looted grain was taken back...."The chief of staff pointed to the combat sand table in front of him and suggested loudly...

"Yo Xi, the chief of staff is very right. This time, I want to block the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the periphery of their base area, and take back all the lost food. Then, heavy troops will be dispatched to destroy them one by one who have lost their bases..."After a short period of contemplation, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, said confidently.

"Hai, please give the battle order to Your Excellency the division commander. I believe that this time, our 27th Division will definitely be able to create a miracle here, completely annihilating or defeating the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area..."When his suggestion was affirmed, a smile of excitement immediately appeared on the face of the chief of staff. Immediately after, he quickly replied...

"Well, I believe that the creator of the whole miracle must belong to our 27th Main Division....However, Chief of Staff, in order to prevent the bait released by the Eighth Route Army to us, it will interfere with our next actions. There is only one infantry wing I can draw on the troops. But I believe that the strength of an infantry wing is enough to recapture the stronghold of Hanzhuang from the hands of the Eighth Route Army....Now I order...."After a short period of contemplation, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said loudly....,

"The 3rd Infantry Wing immediately assembled and advanced towards the stronghold of Hanzhuang. No matter what the price is, it is necessary to recapture the stronghold of Hanzhuang within seven hours and block the back road of the main force of the Eighth Route Army back to the base area. At the same time, the strongholds of our army's defense line immediately entered a state of combat readiness. All troops, be sure to hold their positions and block the main force of the Eighth Route Army that may attack..."Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network."

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise, and he will immediately go to deliver the order... It's just that the nearly 10,000 Eighth Route Army baits outside the city continue to carry out our encirclement and annihilation plan in accordance with the battle plan just formulated. Wipe out this Eighth Route Army outside the north gate of Baishan County..."The chief of staff replied...

"No, Chief of Staff... After dispatching a main wing to attack the stronghold of Hanzhuang, the defenders of each stronghold were removed from the entire defensive line. The only forces we can use are the two main wings and two Manchurian divisions..."Just read the text novel: Enlightenment Book Network."

"With these forces, even if we are able to eliminate this Eighth Route Army in the end, we will pay a very heavy price, and this is a very unworthy battle... Therefore, now is not the time to eliminate this Eighth Route Army unit. Order the 4th Infantry Wing, the 38th Division of the Manchurian Army, no matter what method is used, to drag the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city outside the city to prevent them from reinforcing the stronghold of Hanzhuang...."Regarding the proposal of the chief of staff, the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, did not think about it, and vetoed it affirmatively....

"Hello... Your Excellency the Division Commander...."The Chief of Staff quickly took the order...

With the order of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, the 3rd Infantry Wing, which was carrying out a roundabout mission, was carrying out a roundabout mission, and more than 3,000 devil soldiers immediately stopped marching. Then, under the command of the wing commander, he turned his march direction and began to return to the Hanzhuang stronghold in a rapid march...

Of course, the change in the route of the march of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which did not escape the eyes of the scouts who watched their every move from the surroundings ... An infantry wing of the Japanese army suddenly changed the direction of the march and returned to the news of the stronghold of Hanzhuang. At the first time, it was passed to the ears of Commander Zhou Baozhong...
