At this point, Moritake Tanabe and Masashi Hirata finally understood Okamura Ninji's plan.

Okamura Ningji's plan was actually very simple, that is, to use the pillboxes, artillery towers, and strongholds along the Pinghan Railway to firmly attract the troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Southern Hebei Military Region, and then secretly mobilize the four elite divisions and the 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery to carry out long-distance maneuver and covert contact with the enemy, so as to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

However, Tanabe Moritake still said with some concern: "Your Excellency, Commander, is there time to come?" ”

"Of course." Okamura said confidently, "There are hundreds of pillboxes, turrets and strongholds along the Pinghan Railway, and the Eighth Route Army has no heavy weapons to attack the fortifications, so it will take ten days to complete the task of sabotage, but the 5th, 10th, 18th, and 20th divisions can complete the assembly in two days and enter the attack position within four days." ”

"What if Yue Weihan helps?" Tanabe Moritakemichi, "The 39th Army has a large artillery force. ”

"That's a drop in the bucket." Okamura Ningji said lightly, "If Yue Weihan really came to the rescue with the 39th Group Army, it would be just right, the 100,000 elite imperial troops of the four permanent divisions, plus the 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery and the Aviation Regiment directly under the Front Army, I don't believe it, and I can't clean up Yue Weihan's 39th Group Army!" ”

………… Tumen Fortress, the main bunker of Hug Calf Mountain.

In the war room on the second basement floor, several operational staff officers were busy working on the map, and in less than a moment, hundreds of small red arrows had been marked on the big map, and these small red arrows were like a large group of small red ants, biting the big "python" of the Pinghan Railway.

Liu Yi excitedly said to Yue Weihan: "You see, the Pinghan Railway starts from Dingxian in the north to Xingtai in the south, and the pillboxes, turrets and strongholds along the nearly 200 kilometers have been divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Boss, that's too easy, isn't it?" Cao Xinglong couldn't believe the tunnel, "If the little devil sticks to the blockade ditch, plus hundreds of Iron King Bahe armored cars and tens of thousands of puppet troops patrolling back and forth on the road in the ditch, the Eighth Route Army estimates that it will be difficult to cross the blockade ditch, let alone attack the Pinghan Railway." ”

"His grandmother's, Okamura Ningji, this old devil is nothing more than that." Chi Chengfeng shouted, "Knowing that the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and more than 40 main regiments of the Southern Hebei Military Region are going to pass through the railway line, the old devil really got out of the way?" Isn't that a wolf in the house? Stupid, Okamura Ningji, this old devil is really stupid. ”

"Stupid?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "Okamura, this old devil is not stupid! ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "Okamura, this old devil is in the shadows, if he wants to deal with the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei, he will never use the army in southern Hebei, he will definitely secretly mobilize the army outside southern Hebei, when you are still staring at the southern Hebei army, Okamura Ningci's troops have already entered the attack position and surrounded the Eighth Route Army." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Yi said in a terrified manner, "Boss, are you saying that this old devil in Okamura did it on purpose?" ”

"Chief of Staff, you don't really think Okamura Ninji is so easy to be fooled, do you?" Yue Weihan smiled and said, "However, Rao makes Okamura Ningji like a ghost, and this time he will not be able to eat and walk around!" Okamura mobilized troops from Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan and other places to enter the attack position, to say the least, it would take five or six days! ”

"Subtract yesterday's day, and that's only four or five days left!" Liu Yi frowned and said, "In other words, the Eighth Route Army must finish its work within three days, otherwise it will fall into the encirclement of the Yue Army?" ”

"Three days?" Yue Weihan smiled, "Two days is enough!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Colonel Liu Xin, the chief of the communications department, had already entered with high spirits and said to Yue Weihan: "The headquarters and the special operations brigade report that all the fifty rocket launcher teams have entered the designated positions, and as long as the headquarters gets in touch with the Eighth Route Army, they can cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to launch an attack on the military facilities along the Pinghan Railway." ”

"Okay." Yue Weihan nodded happily, and said to Liu Yi again, "Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Brigade Commander Wang (Deputy Brigade Commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division) and my brother (Yue Weiguo), saying that I will temporarily lend them fifty elite troops to ensure that they can sweep away all the pillboxes, turrets and strongholds along the line from Dingzhou to Xingtai overnight, and the county town heavily guarded by devils is not a problem!" ”

"Yes." Liu Yi snapped upright, and immediately took the order.

Seeing Liu Yi leave, Yue Weihan turned around again and said to Lu Xiufeng, Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng and Li Yulong, who were standing solemnly behind him: "The 181st Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division and the Baoshan Division opened overnight to surround Zhengding County and Shimen City before dawn. ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiufeng and the four of them suddenly stepped forward and agreed with a bang.

As soon as they heard that they were going to hit the stone gate, Lu Xiufeng and the four of them immediately came to their senses.

………… Beiping, Cuimingzhuang.

The 39th Army over there had just unearthed the fortress, and Okamura Ninji already knew about it here.

Although the 39th Group Army marched at night, it was impossible to conceal its traces due to the large-scale movement of more than 80,000 people from the four divisions, but the reason why the 39th Group Army chose to march at night was also to avoid being bombed by military planes, not to conceal its tracks.

"The 39th Army poured out?"

"Yue Weihan is really willing to make a bet?"

Moritake Tanabe and Masa Hirata couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Okamura Ningji smiled gloomily and said in a low voice: "It seems that Yue Weihan will be solved soon!" ”

Moritake Tanabe and Masa Hirata looked at each other, His Excellency the Commander seemed to have a bamboo in his chest?

Okamura Ninji is indeed a master of the plan, in fact, he was already laying out as early as when he was the commander of the Fourth Army Corps.

Shimen is close to the Pinghan Railway, and is facing the Tumen Fortress, the geographical location is extremely important, the 28th Division of the Yue Army is stationed in Shimen, in addition, the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the Reading Power Mixed Brigade of the northern section of the Pinghan Railway is also located in Zhengding County, plus the 6th Group Army of Qi Xieyuan's puppet North China Autonomous Army, the total strength is not less than 50,000 people.

However, the strength of the 3rd Brigade is basically scattered along the Pinghan Railway, and the 28th Division is responsible for the heavy task of "encroaching" on southern Hebei, and three of the four infantry wings are stationed in various counties in southern Hebei.

Although there were not many troops left behind in Shimen, Okamura Ninji was not worried.

The reason is very simple, as early as when he was the commander of the Fourth Army, Okamura Ninji recruited 5,000 people, and spent three months building a large number of strong bunker communities on the periphery of Shimen and Zhengding, and these bunkers were connected by tunnels, and they went straight to the headquarters in the city, which was almost a complete fortress!

Okamura Ninji was inspired by the Tsuchimon Fortress, which is called giving back to others in the way of others.

Okamura Ningji even hoped that Yue Weihan could take the initiative to attack Shimen with the 39th Group Army, so that the defenders of Shimen could rely on strong fortresses to hold back the main force of the 39th Group Army, and then win time and opportunity for Okamura Ningji to mobilize troops from Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan and other places to encircle and annihilate the 39th Group Army.

Now, Okamura's chance has finally come.

………… On the Pinghan railway line.

The main force of Yu Ting's Qinghe County Reading Regiment was attacking a large stronghold along the railway.

The main body of this stronghold is three four-story turrets standing in the shape of a zigzag, surrounded by trenches and barbed wire, and six pillboxes, in which a squadron of the Yue Army and a battalion of the puppet army are stationed, with more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and the firepower is very fast.

"Commander, why don't you dig a tunnel." The commander of the 1st battalion suggested, "A strong attack is not possible at all, the devil's firepower is too fierce." ”

"Digging tunnels? How long does that have to be dug up? Yu Ting said hatefully, "Damn, if only there was a cannon." ”

When Yu Ting hurriedly looked back, he saw that the political commissar Ge Ruilin had arrived in a hurry, followed by three big men, these three people were obviously not from the Reading Force, and they didn't look like soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and the big man in front of him was still carrying a "big smoking gun" on his shoulder.

"Old Yu, how's the situation?" Gray Lin took off his military hat and fanned the wind, asking.

"It didn't go well." Yu Ting shook his head, and stared at the three people behind Graylin, "Political commissar, what are they doing?" ”

"Oh, they are the [***] brothers of the 39th Army!" Ge Ruilin said, "I was ordered by Commander-in-Chief Yue to help our Eighth Route Army attack the artillery tower of the Yue Army, and he also brought a secret weapon. ”

"Secret weapon?" Yu Ting's gaze fell on the "big smoking gun" on the shoulder of the big man, and he said with some disapproval, "Just this big smoking gun, and a secret weapon?" ”

Gray Lin could only smile bitterly, but he had never seen the power of this secret weapon.

"What a mess, this is not a smoking gun, this is called a bazooka!" The big man said unhappily, "Don't look at this thing and look at it inconspicuously, but you will know its power later, do you see the devil's bunker and turret in front?" In front of my bazooka, that's the dish, a one-shot death, believe it or not? ”

"One shot? If you don't believe it, how is this possible? Yu Ting's head suddenly shook into a rattle.

Several battalion and company commanders of the Reading Force Regiment also surrounded them, also full of disbelief.

"Hey, let you old hats see the power of bazookas today." With that, the big man took off the bazooka on his shoulder, put it up, and then turned back and stretched out his hand to the other big man, who immediately felt a cannonball with a long barrel behind it from the basket behind him.
