Chapter 517 is messed up

It snowed heavily for a day and a night, and at dawn, it finally quietly stopped, the vast Taihang Mountain, put on a layer of white clothing, the snow stopped coming, and the north wind began to blow strongly again, rolling up the snow on the ground, hitting people's faces, going against the wind, and having to turn their faces sideways.

Shexian County at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, the whole city is covered with thick snow, and the county seat, which has no residents, is even more desolate and deserted, with no smokeless houses, standing silently in the cold wind, with indifferent eyes, looking at the invaders who invaded this land, and occasionally a group of Japanese soldiers patrolling by, trying to shrink their faces into the collar of their coats to avoid the snow that makes them unable to open their eyes, and the smooth ground, from time to time to throw them into a dog and rob.

The Japanese soldiers who got up spit out their mouths full of snow, threw off the snow foam on their faces, and cursed the ghost weather hatefully, too, these guys are not the masters of this land in the first place, and they are destined to suffer when they come here.

The Japanese army sent troops to North China to sweep the headquarters of the Taihang Mountains, and the mountain pass woke up early in the morning, and was in a bad mood, and the heavy snow for a day and a night increased the difficulty of the troops' advancement, seven days? It is the grace of His Majesty the Emperor to climb out of Taihang Mountain, unless he throws away his heavy equipment, flies out of Taihang Mountain with long wings, and flies to the city of Taiyuan.

I don't know if it's because the technique is too stinky, or the crow is clever, anyway, none of them hit, the gunshots are in the dead silence of Shexian County, especially harsh, like the Japanese guard troops facing the enemy, hurriedly rushed into the headquarters, Mao is not in any situation, it is His Excellency the Chief of Staff who is furious there, and the mountain pass is full of evil spirits, and it is sent out towards these loyal guards, and the blood spray of the scolding dog, the guards are dizzy, and His Excellency the Chief of Staff is foaming at the mouth, so he gave up.

His bad mood was verified, and the head of the intelligence section broke in with his head covered in snowflakes, and Yamaguchi Boss was not happy, is this Kobayashi-kun, who prides himself on "not panicking when he hears the news of His Majesty the Emperor's hiccup"? If the intelligence officers of the empire are like this, it is really out of place, and Yamaguchi has a problem in front of his subordinates, and when he is unhappy, he will immediately hang on his face.

Xiao Lin didn't care what his face was, with a cold air, he came to the front in a few steps: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I received the latest information, just last night, the search troops I distributed in various places, a total of fifteen brigades, were suddenly attacked by a large number of troops in China, all of them suffered serious losses, and the five brigades that were the most severely injured basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the attack was extremely rapid, and they did not take more than thirty minutes, all of which caused serious losses to the imperial troops. ”

Yamaguchi's face was full of disbelief, he took the telegram and looked at it, as if he was struck by lightning, Mu Ran was on the spot, and it clearly wrote the situation that Xiao Lin said, he swallowed hard and spit, and asked: "Xiao Lin-kun, do you believe this is the truth?" "Kobayashi looked at Yamaguchi with the eyes of a monster, His Excellency the Chief of Staff is sick, right? It's written in black and white, that captain doesn't have a head, and he jokes about such a major military incident? This is not a scramble for the flower girl, I am afraid of getting less.

Xiao Lin's eyes, Yan zhòng stung Yamaguchi's pride, he was annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Linjun, think about it with your pig's head, how many troops do you have to use to attack a brigade of our army and cause Yan zhòng casualties?" According to the establishment of the Chinese army, there are at least two regiments, you say, where did Tang Qiu get the troops? ”

Xiao Lin really thought about it with a pig's head, and felt that His Excellency the Chief of Staff's analysis was reasonable, and to attack fifteen brigades at the same time, thirty regiments had to be used, according to the establishment of the Chinese army, each regiment had more than 3,000 people, that is, nearly 100,000 troops, Xiao Lin was taken aback by his own algorithm, and the strength of the imperial army was basically equal.

But according to the exact information, Tang Qiuli's troops in Taihang Mountain are only more than 30,000 people? Yamaguchi, as confused as he was, ordered Kobayashi to "verify the information immediately", Kobayashi took the order and left, and Yamaguchi began to mark the area attacked according to the telegram, and after marking the fifteen places, he was so frightened that his scalp exploded.

It's terrible, with Shexian as the center, east to Yanghu, west to Matian, south to Hongjing, and east to Shicheng, forming a complete encirclement, all the targets attacked are the periphery of the troops, what is Tang Qiuli going to do here? Can't you eat me in one bite? Thinking of this, he dismissed this terrible idea again.

Since entering the Taihang Mountains, such as entering the realm of no one, under the pressure of the army, Tang Qiuli has no power to fight back, only in Qinquan head-to-head once, under the pressure of heavy troops, defeated Sucheng, which shows that his troops are empty, now, suddenly set up an offensive formation, at various points, at the same time to launch an attack on the outside world, he does not have so many troops, it must be the old suspicious soldiers, with a small force, harassing the garrisons in various places, what is his purpose? Forcing me to shrink my forces? Give up the pursuit of him?

Yamaguchi felt that his head was a mess, all kinds of judgments and thoughts, constantly affirming and denying like a marquee, thinking that his temples were bulging, and he didn't come up with a reason, so he could only wait for Xiao Lin to come back and confirm his judgment, hoping that it was Tang Qiuli's small group of troops harassing him, if it was really as he expected, the dozen or so captains would not be able to eat and walk around

Yamaguchi gritted his teeth secretly, his heart was like a cat, Kobayashi came back dejected, Yamaguchi was shocked, he had a premonition that something was not good, and asked unrelentingly: "Kobayashi-kun, is the information true?" Xiao Lin's face was extremely ugly and said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you can see for yourself," Yamaguchi didn't need to look at it, Xiao Lin's face was like a dead father and mother, and it had already been explained.

There was a deathly silence, if this is really the case, the hundreds of thousands of troops who swept the Taihang Mountain have been surrounded by Tang Qiuli's troops, last night's action is the signal before the start of the attack, and the next step will gradually compress the activity space of the troops, at that time, Yamaguchi does not dare to think about it, the result is very clear, with Tang Qiuli's combat methods, he is good at fighting a war of encirclement and annihilation, while the troops in other directions are entangled with the Chinese army, and it is impossible to divide troops to rescue themselves.

According to the current situation, taking advantage of Tang Qiuli's encirclement, which has not yet been firmly weaved, it is the best policy to retreat to Shijiazhuang and Baoding, Yamaguchi's face is pale, so he gave up the sweeping plan, he is really unwilling, this is the first battle to send troops to gain a foothold in North China, and if he achieves this virtue, will there be any confusion in the future?

What's more, there is also the plan of the commander of the Xiangyue Qingsi to attack Taiyuan and break the deadlock, return in vain, lose troops, and turn his face faster than turning a book, Your Excellency, is not like sending a wild dog, kicking himself into that corner and refrigerating it, the former chief of staff is an example, even if the plan to sweep Tang Qiu's lair in Taihang Mountain can be abandoned, the commander's order to attack Taiyuan, dare not carry it out? Thinking of this, Yamaguchi shuddered, and must not retreat.

Yamaguchi's eyes were blood-red, and with a gambler's eyes, he stared at Xiao Lin deadly, and asked gloomily: "Xiao Lin Jun, has your intelligence system found any signs that the independent division troops in the Dezhou and Niangziguan battlefields have returned to the Taihang Mountains on a large scale, I want you to answer definitively." ”

Xiao Lin was shocked by Yamaguchi's crazy appearance, and his head tightened, the chief of staff wants to eat people? He knew the weight of his answer, and if he was not careful, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers and his own lives might be lost in the mountains of China.

He silently filtered all the information in his mind, and then said after deliberation: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, as far as the existing information is concerned, there is no independent division of troops, returning to the Taihang Mountains, and the march of tens of thousands of people is impossible to hide from the eyes of our agents, no, really not." ”

Xiao Lin very cunningly bit the words "current and existing" very clearly and ruthlessly, he left his back hand, don't be at that time, the troops are really surrounded by independent divisions that fell from the sky, and His Excellency the Chief of Staff who lost the bet will use himself as a scapegoat, this is the advantage of doing intelligence work, and there is a basis for speaking whenever he wants, and he does not leave a handle.

As soon as Kobayashi finished speaking, he heard Yamaguchi hugging his head and moaning in pain, which startled him again, it's over, His Excellency the Chief of Staff has a heart attack, and he was just about to call the military doctor, Yamaguchi waved his hand weakly to stop it, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Kobayashi-kun, then you sue me, where did the independent division troops that attacked my garrisons in various places come from, and fell from the sky?" ”

Poor intelligence chief Xiao Lin, how did he know, in the face of Yamaguchi's forced questioning, he opened his mouth and couldn't answer a word, Yamaguchi suddenly became angry, rushed to Xiao Lin in one step, grabbed him by the collar, and opened his mouth to scold: "Baga, your intelligence section, all the work of pigs and fools, go and investigate, I want to know the truth of the matter"

Xiao Lin fled from this room like a plague, touched his throat that was strangled hot, cursed in a low voice, and after returning to the intelligence department, he gathered all his subordinates together, and vented all the depression from the mountain pass to his subordinates.

The fire was also scolded, and the scolding was also scolded, looking at the stupid subordinates, the work assigned by His Excellency the Chief of Staff had to be done, he sent all his subordinates out, and organized a special investigation team to go to the various brigades that were attacked, to do field investigations, hoping to find out the clues, and also give Yamaguchi an explanation.

The already sparsely populated Taihang Mountains, coupled with the evacuation of all the people, the Japanese intelligence officers had no heads like flies, but they were not familiar with the place, and they couldn't even see the shadow of the Chinese people.

After three collisions and two collisions, they fell into the net, and the reconnaissance detachments of the eagle strike units of the independent division and the special operations detachments took all the orders one by one, and one of them was arrested, and Kobayashi and the others did not see any news of their return, and in the name of Yamaguchi, they ordered all major teams to send reconnaissance teams with radio stations to call as soon as there was a situation.
