"Village Chief, didn't the art team come to our village a few days ago to tell the story of international friends? Bethune, Kotnis, and Ma Haide or something, it is said that Chairman Mao has a good relationship with them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info," the older boy said to the village chief.

The village chief waved his hand and said, "What does Erlang know?" Well, I don't know if you're nodging your beard, but if we don't attack you now, doesn't that mean we admit that you're not a bad Japanese devil? Okay, you go to the county seat to find someone from Guanghua Store, if you want to inquire, you can also inquire there, our Eighth Route Army will not deceive people! ”

Saying that, the village chief asked a few people to look at Okamura Ningji, and he was not allowed to enter the village, so he went back, no matter what Okamura Ningji called, he would never look back.

Okamura Ninji had no choice but to leave with regret, and when he reached the main road, he looked at the village that had gradually become unclear and said, "A small village is so difficult to approach... It's really our henchmen, let's go, let's go to the county seat to have a look. ”

Okamura Ningji came to the county seat, and was checked again, and then entered the city, the city is still relatively prosperous, Okamura Ningji carefully observed the faces of passers-by and the posture of walking, and found that the passers-by's complexion was not bad, and the merchants were not afraid to see the patrolling Eighth Route Army, which means that the people here live well, and the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the local people is also very good, Okamura Ningji feels more and more headaches.

At this moment, bursts of cheers came from afar.

"The Eighth Route Army is out of town! The Eighth Route Army is out of the city!! ”

"Wow, I wonder if there is another war?"

"Kill those little devils raised by bitches, I don't know which unit it is, will my son be in it?"

"It's all a military secret! Can't ask, know can't say, who knows if there are dog traitors around us! ”

Hearing the cheers, the surrounding people immediately took the initiative to separate the road, giving way to the middle road to the upcoming Eighth Route Army, and Okamura Ninji also hid aside and watched the approaching troops expectantly.

Okamura Ningji is probably the only commander of the North China Front who is really face to face with the Eighth Route Army, this is a small force, about three or four hundred people, although the military uniforms are not very new, but they are all clean and neat, the pace is neat and powerful, although I have not seen the combat ability of these Eighth Route Army, but judging from the appearance and posture of the army, Okamura Ningji knows that this Eighth Route Army is completely different from those local armed forces and guerrillas he has encountered before, and only the central army of the Chongqing government has such a demeanor.

Okamura continued to observe these weapons of the Eighth Route Army, and found that all the firearms were completely devoid of the big swords and spears he had seen in the photos before, and then thought about the cold weapons in the hands of the self-defenders he saw in the village, and he understood that the Eighth Route Army must have concentrated its weapons.

Looking at the models again, most of them are Japanese and German-style weapons, Okamura Ninji nodded, when he saw two mortars and grenadiers, his face immediately collapsed, and then counted the machine guns, these three or four hundred teams can already be comparable to a squadron in terms of firepower, if the Eighth Route Army is all such weapons and equipment, it is no wonder that it will not be able to conquer for a long time.

Just as Okamura Ninji was carefully looking around the base area, in Nanjing, a photo of him was passed into the hands of the ghost car.

"This is Ninji Okamura? He looks like a gentleman who reads. The ghost car looked at the photo and said.

"That's right, he really likes to read, especially Chinese classics." Yuan Shu on the opposite side nodded and said.

The ghost car took out another photo and put it next to the photo given by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu looked at it and said with a smile, "It turns out that you already have..."

The ghost car shook his head and said, "I'm just verifying, Okamura Ninji is also a character, and Japanese newspapers have reported a lot about him, so where is he now?" ”

Yuan Shu used chopsticks to tuck the wonton in his bowl, smiled and said, "I got a piece of news, I don't know if it's true or not, when I was drinking with a few staff officers, those staff officers said that Okamura Ningji would definitely sweep the Eighth Route Army completely when he arrived in the north, and there was also news that Okamura Ningci's news during this time was preparing for this." ”

The ghost car closed his eyes and thought about it, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Yuan Shu, "I still have something, I'll go first." He left as if he was in a hurry.

Yuan Shu looked at the back of the ghost car, shook his head and said, "White Arowana suit, gentleman is not for it, will Okamura Ningji really have that much courage?" ”

――

"This is a photo that was urgently handed down from above, and the base area is required to immediately check whether there is such a person, once it is found, immediately seize, and if you dare to resist, you are allowed to shoot!"

In one room, a commander-like person took a stack of papers and sent it down, and the captains in the room took it, and on it was a photo of a person, thin, wearing glasses, and wearing a Japanese military uniform.

"Huh... I think I've seen this person," Captain He said strangely while holding the piece of paper.

The commander immediately stepped forward and said, "Lao He, have you seen it?" This is a big fish, commander of the North China Front! ”

Captain He licked his lips and said uncertainly, "It's a bit similar between the eyebrows, wait..."

Captain He took out a pen from his pocket and drew a circle of beard on Okamura Ningji's photo, then nodded and said, "That's right!" That's the man! Damn, it turned out to be a big fish, I was really deceived by him, this is a Japanese merchant in a Japanese caravan that came to trade with us last week, I remember his name is Ichiro Okamura, because he is a newcomer, I also specially asked people to go to the Japanese Overseas Chinese Pavilion to check, but there is indeed such a person from Japan who came to us. ”

A fat captain next to him said with some hatred, "This devil is a big devil, of course you can ask those little devils to help him make false testimony, Lao He, Lao He, why are you so careless?" ”

Captain He also fell into self-blame, grabbed his hair angrily, and the commander next to him said, "Okay, don't be angry, if he is here to trade, then he has not penetrated into our base area, don't worry, Lao He didn't expect such a big fish." ”

The commander said to Captain He, "Think about it, are there any other details?" Where might he be now? ”

Captain He thought for a moment and said, "He didn't say much, just watched, and then... By the way, he said that he was going to collect apples - Shandong!! ”

The commander immediately rushed out, trotted all the way to the communication room and shouted, "Generate electricity immediately, the target red heart appeared in Taihang Mountain, and now it may be in Shandong, repeat, it may be in Shandong now!" ”

By the time the Eighth Route Army in Shandong began to look for Okamura Ningji everywhere, Okamura Ningji had already embarked on the road back to Beiping.

Yamashita Fengfumi, the chief of staff of the North China Front, finally waited for Okamura Ninji's arrival, and happily greeted him and said, "Okamura-kun, you are finally here, where did you go without saying a word?" I'm scared to death! ”

Okamura Ninji saluted Yamashita Fengwen and said, "The art of war is said to know oneself and know the other, I went to know the other, in this way, I don't see anyone else today, you help me transfer all the battle records between us and the Eighth Route Army to me, I want to know how we fought with them." I'm also curious about the tactics and tactics of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Yamashita shook his head and said, "This... I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

Okamura Ninji asked suspiciously, "Don't we have a record?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen said with a sigh: "If you want to be strict, the Eighth Route Army should include those guerrillas, and there are many guerrillas, and we don't know if there is a shadow of the Eighth Route Army behind them." But even if it is determined that the other side is the Eighth Route Army, our North China Front Army alone has fought more than 6,000 battles with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army since the beginning of this year, so... If you want to keep all the records, I'm afraid this house won't be enough. ”

Okamura Ninji gasped and asked, "More than six thousand?" How much did we lose? ”

Yamashita Fengwen sighed, "There is still evidence that the other party is the Eighth Route Army, and these more than 6,000 battles include the losses of Suiyuan, and our army has lost more than 80,000 people." ”

"Eighty thousand??" Okamura Ninji said in disbelief: "Is this the Imperial Army, or is it the Imperial Army?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen bowed his head and said, "It's just the Imperial Army, the losses of the Imperial Alliance Army are even greater, and there are even many places where no one is willing to participate in the maintenance of our organization or something." Ay... Except for a few large cities and transportation arteries in North China, in fact, it is basically not owned by our imperial army. ”

"Smack!" Okamura Ninji slapped it abruptly and said, "When I was in Central China, I always heard that the Eighth Route Army in North China was very powerful, but I never saw any sound in the newspaper. Why? Could it be that someone is blocking the news? ”

Yamashita shook his head and said, "No... It's that no one wants to report. More than 95 percent of our combat casualties were in the dozens, and such losses simply cannot be put on the table. ”

"But it's such a loss that we lost a battle loss figure that was not reached in the Battle of Changsha?" It was only at this time that Okamura Ninji realized what a big quagmire North China was. Yamashita took out a book from his back and said, "General Okamura, if you really want to know about the Eighth Route Army, please take a look at this book." ”

Okamura Ninji turned his head to see that it was a pamphlet with "On Protracted War" written on it, Okamura Ninji shook his head and said, "I also have this book, and mine is even older than yours, so you don't read this book many times." ”

Yamashita Fengwen said he, "Isn't this a slightly new one for Okamura-kun." ”

Okamura asked again, "In addition, I remember seeing you in the battle report that the Eighth Route Army in North China had a large number of aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery troops?" ”

Yamashita stretched out his hand and said, "Please follow me." ”

The two walked for a while, came to a small room, Yamashita Fengwen motioned to the people around him to close the curtains, and then opened the slide and said, "This is the heavy weapons information of the Eighth Route Army that we have now, this is the photo of their plane, because their planes are all taking off inside them, our people can't go deep at all, so many of these photos were taken on the plane, you see, this is their fighter jet... This is their bomber, especially here, you see, their plane is equipped with these shell-like weapons in the lower part, this weapon will fly out like a real shell to attack our fighters, as long as one shot of such weapons, our fighters will be damaged in battle, and the enemy's planes, our army's machine guns hit them dozens of times, it is not necessarily fine. ”

Okamura Ninji's face suddenly collapsed, he nodded and said, "It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to have such weapons by itself, it must be the Soviets... Go on. ”

"This is their tank, obviously, this is a modification of the Czech LT-38 tank, they have almost a hundred of them, all concentrated in the hands of the mechanized troops."

Okamura nodded and motioned to continue.

Yamashita shook his head and said, "The heavy artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army is the most mysterious unit, especially their roaring Reaper heavy artillery. We have not found a trace of this heavy artillery until now, and it should be their top military secret. ”

Okamura Ningji thought for a while and said, "I remember that we should have a high-level spy in Taiyuan, right?" ”

Yamashita nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but it's said that that person is only in contact with General Tohi, so we don't know." ”

Okamura Ninji snorted, "General Dohihara is now the principal of the non-commissioned officer school, I'll go and give him a telegram, such a chess piece is not easy to use, it's really a waste." ”

As he spoke, Okamura Ningji asked again, "So are these technical arms of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Suiyuan?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen pointed to Yan'an on the map next to him and said, "There is still a part of Yan'an, their old nest." ”

Okamura Ninji stood up and looked at the map, and said, "Let me think about our strategy behind us." ”

- Late at night

Okamura Ningji sat on his chair, pondered for a long time, and slowly began to write, this is some of his recent thoughts and experiences on the Eighth Route Army, he wrote and wrote, changed and changed, and when the sky turned white, he slowly put down the pen.

Okamura Ningji looked at his work with satisfaction, took the phone next to him and said, "Yamashita-kun, come to my office, I wrote something, you can take a look." ”

Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly ran to Okamura Ninji's office, still holding a rice ball in his hand, and said, "What's the matter, Okamura-kun, you are in such a hurry." ”

Okamura Ninji handed him what he had written last night and said, "This is my plan, you can take a look." ”

Yamashita Fengwen took it and read it, "North China's public security appeasement plan? Yamashita Fengfu glanced at Okamura Ninji in surprise and said, "Amazing, Okamura-kun, it's only been a few days since I was able to write such a strategy, I'm going to take a good look at it." ”

Yamashita found that Okamura Ninji not only said about the situation of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, but also pointed out that because of the war, agriculture in Hebei, Shandong and other places was affected, and weather experts pointed out that the weather would gradually deteriorate in the next few years, and it was likely to form a major drought, and the Eighth Route Army, which had a large number of troops, would inevitably fall into a situation of food shortage.

At the same time, Okamura Ninji wrote that there were two sources of wealth for the Eighth Route Army in North China, one was taxation, and the other was industrial and commercial trade, among which salt and sugar were the most, and the interests of salt and sugar were very large, and many people who went to supervise were eventually corrupted by these interests, so they could not rely on civilian supervision, but relied on the army, and all the captured salt and sugar, the troops and the treasury were divided equally, increasing the power of supervision.

Yamashita Fengwen said to Okamura Ningji in admiration, "If this is really the case, maybe you can really prohibit the descent of Taihang Mountain salt and sugar." ”

Okamura Ninji shook his head and said, "But I have never understood where they got so much salt and sugar, is there a large area of sugar cane on Taihang Mountain?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen also shook his head to express his incomprehension, and continued to look down, followed by the key military battles of the public security plan. (To be continued.) )
