Chapter 242: The One Who Cheated to Death (Kneeling and Begging for a Monthly Pass)
Honestly, no one believes it? Truth? Speech?
Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka's heart immediately paused.
The prince told him the truth a few times before, and it seems that it has all come true?
Hey, the military column didn't come true that time, and this guy was really weak.
Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka's heart that had just been suspended fell back into his stomach.
In the final analysis, all signs show that it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army that is trapped in Shuiyao Mountain at the moment!
If it is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, will the Tsuda detachment be so passive? If it weren't for the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ye, the second chief of the Eighth Route Army headquarters organ, would be with them?
Confusing the public, this guy is really cunning.
It's just that at this point, no matter how cunning it is, it has no effect.
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka said relaxedly: "Lord Wang, at a time like this, you should no longer fantasize about being able to lead the main force of the imperial army to Zhengtai Road, and the imperial army will not be fooled." β
The prince said: "Shinozuka-kun, I reminded you anyway. β
"Yes, you reminded me." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "I thank you. β
"Thanksgiving doesn't have to be." Wang Ye said, "After knowing the truth for a while, when Okamura Ningji scolds you, or when the Japanese army base camp removes you, just don't scold me." β
Yoshio Shinozuka laughed and said, "Wang Yesan, what is the point of saying this? β
The prince said: "Shinozuka-kun thinks it makes no sense to say this? So what do you think makes sense to say? β
"Let's talk about something practical." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "I'll tell you the truth, the more than 20,000 main forces of your Taihang Military Region are at the end of their rope. β
"Really?" Wang Ye said, "I don't think so. β
Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a smile, "Is it the terrain of Mt. Mizuka that gives you courage?" β
Wang Ye said: "What is the topography of Shuiyao Mountain, presumably Maeda-kun knows better, Shinozuka-kun might as well ask Maeda-kun." β
Speaking of this, the prince said again: "Oh, why don't you see Maeda-kun?" Maeda-kun? Maeda-kun: Are you eavesdropping? β
"Yaga!" Maeda Tadanobu immediately resounded in the communication channel, "I've been there, what is eavesdropping?" β
The prince was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Maeda-kun, you have already learned the terrain of Shuiyao Mountain last night, let me ask you, the terrain of Shuiyao Mountain is never endless?" β
After a long time, Maeda Tadanobu said sullenly: "One word, absolutely!" β
"Huh." The prince said to Yoshio Shinozuka again, "Shinozuka-kun, did you hear that?" β
Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "I already knew what the terrain of Shuiyao Mountain was last night, yes, I have to admit that this terrain is simply unique." β
"Your Eighth Route Army is defending this mountain, and if the imperial army attacks it, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
"But you may not realize that the water kiln mountain is actually hiding an Achilles' heel."
Speaking of this, Maeda Tadanobu suddenly said, "Shinozuka-kun, is it necessary to tell him about this weakness?" β
"It's okay to tell him." Yoshio Shinozuka smiled, "Because even if he knew, he couldn't fix it." β
Maeda Tadanobu said disapprerovingly: "Shinozuka-kun, I think it's better not to tell him, how can this kind of secret be easily told to our enemies?" β
"Alright, I said two, alright."
The prince said: "You two don't have to sing a double reed here, who are you scaring about?" β
"Weakness? I'm stupid, I really can't think of any weaknesses hidden in the fortress of Shuiyao Mountain. β
"Lord Wang, you shouldn't have thought about letting all the main forces stay in Shuiyao Mountain at all, right?" Yoshio Shinozuka said with a smile, "Although the terrain of Shuiyao Mountain is steep, it is too small, and under normal circumstances, it is already the limit to garrison one regiment, and it is too crowded to garrison more than 20,000 people and nearly 30,000 people. β
"With so many troops and such a narrow and cramped terrain, you can't spread it."
"If I'm not mistaken, your original plan should have been like this."
"Use the water kiln mountain natural danger to block the 2nd Guards Division, and then concentrate the main force to eat the Tsuda detachment outside the first line of the sky, and then go around behind the 2nd Guards Division."
"Wait until the 2nd Guards Division is exhausted, and then suddenly kill,"
"Coordinated with the defenders of Shuiyao Mountain to flank the front and rear, and even annihilated the 2nd Guards Division in one fell swoop, am I not wrong? I have to say, your ambitions are really big! β
"If everything goes well, it's really possible."
"But you didn't expect that I mobilized 6 brigades to the front line."
"You haven't thought that I have equipped the Tsuda detachment with two mountain artillery brigades."
"You didn't even expect that it would suddenly snow heavily last night."
"So, not only did you fail to eat the Tsuda detachment that was guarding the front line of the sky, but you couldn't even transfer, so you had no choice but to temporarily retreat to Shuiyao Mountain with your troops."
There was a burst of applause in the communication channel.
The prince said: "Shinozuka-kun, I can't help but wonder if there is an internal ghost in my staff department?" Otherwise, how could you have such a clear grasp of the movements of the main forces of our military district? Simply know it! β
Yoshio Shinozuka said proudly: "It's not difficult to deduce this based on the information fed back from all sides, isn't it?" β
Wang Ye said: "It's really amazing. β
"Passing the prize." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "So, is Wang Yesan admitted?" β
"Yes, you're all right." The prince sighed, "It's worthy of Shinozuka-kun, our boss has always said that Shinozuka-kun is the number one general of the Japanese army, even Okamura Ningji is far worse than you, Maeda-kun is not even worthy of lifting shoes for you, I didn't believe it originally, but today I believe it, Shinozuka-kun, you are really powerful." β
Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know how to answer.
The heart said that this guy is really as cunning as ever.
Even such a call can find a way to bury a mine.
I hope Maeda-kun doesn't think too much, otherwise it won't be easy to get along in the future.
"Damn." Maeda Tadashi said, "Deliberately belittling your enemies will not show your cleverness." β
Wang Ye said: "Maeda-kun, I really didn't deliberately belittle you, your tactical command ability is really not good, let's just say that in last night's battle, we didn't fight once or twice, right?" β
"You can't possibly not understand my military habits, right?"
"Even if I want to fight the Tsuda detachment, I will never show my ass, will I?"
"But you still crashed into it like a stunned head, and it turned out that a guy reimbursed a brigade."
"With such a level of tactical command, what do you want me to say? I can't boast if I want to, I can't open my eyes and say blind and praise a pig as a tiger, right? β
"Yaga!" Maeda Tadanobu was really angry at this time.
"Lord Wang, one day you will know how powerful my pig is."
"Really?" The prince laughed and said, "I think the only use of pigs is to kill and eat meat, so are you planning to kill me?" I have to say it's a great idea. β
"Yaga!" Maeda snarled angrily.
Yoshio Shinozuka even heard the sound of falling things.
Maeda Tadanobu is probably so angry that he dropped the military kettle.
Then without waiting for Yoshio Shinozuka to persuade him, the prince first persuaded: "Maeda-kun, eat first and calm down, the fathers and villagers of Daxiawan have left you a lot, you're welcome." β
"Yaga, it's too much!"
At this moment, Maeda Tadanobu was even more angry.
There were more sounds of falling objects in the communication channel.
Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly spoke out and persuaded: "Maeda-kun, please calm down. β
"Yaga!" Maeda Tadanobu was so angry that he didn't hear clearly, and said angrily, "Yoshio Shinozuka, even you came to humiliate me? Are you even going to let me eat and calm down? β
Yoshio Shinozuka immediately had three black lines floating on his head.
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka simply ignored Maeda Tadanobu, and said to the prince: "Wang Yesan, I must admit that you have a pair of sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but your words can't change the facts. β
"The brutal truth is that you're already trapped in the Water Kiln Mountain."
"Although Shuiyao Mountain is steep, the mountain is not high, and it is not a big mountain."
"So, I'm afraid there won't be any water sources in the mountains, if I'm not mistaken, you should have stocked up on a certain amount of drinking water in advance, but it should only be enough for one or two thousand people."
"However, there are now more than 20,000 people in the water kiln mountain."
"Ten times the number of troops, how many days can the stored drinking water last?"
Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka smiled slightly, ready to recruit the prince with a poor dagger.
That's right, Yoshio Shinozuka is ready to recruit the prince and the 30,000 elites under him.
However, before Yoshio Shinozuka could speak, the prince suddenly cut off the communication, and it seemed that even the intercom radio was turned off, and he didn't know what was going on?
"Haha, this idiot is probably in a hurry."
Suddenly, Maeda's loud laugh rang out in the communication channel.
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Maeda-kun, have you finally regained your composure?" β
"What, you've been calm, okay?" Maeda Tadanobu said.
"I pretended to be angry and angry just now, and I won't be provoked so easily."
Won't be so easily irritated? Yoshio Shinozuka smiled, but he didn't dismantle Maeda Tadanobu.
Maeda Tadanobu said again: "Shinozuka-kun, shouldn't you plan to recruit the prince and his Eighth Route Army?" β
"Yes, I do." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "If you can recruit the prince and his Eighth Route Army, then not only can the security situation in Shanxi be greatly improved, but you can even draw troops to take Jinnan and Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop, and even go further to cross the Yellow River and capture Shaanxi!" β
"It's such a naΓ―ve idea." Maeda Tadanobu said.
"Not to mention that the prince is willing to surrender, even if he is willing to surrender, it is useless."
"He is only the second leader of the Eighth Route Army, and there seems to be a commander-in-chief above him, it is said that this person's character is extremely tough, and he will never surrender."
"Gotta try." Yoshio Shinozuka said.
β¦β¦
"Yawn, yawn!"
On the way south to Liao County, the boss sneezed twice in a row.
The deputy chief of the general staff quickly took off his fur coat and handed it to the boss.
The boss actually had a cotton coat himself, but he took it to cover the wounded.
This time when they went south to Liao County, the headquarters organs of the Eighth Route Army were really dispatched, including the headquarters hospital, and the wounded who were recuperating in the hospital naturally followed south.
The boss also shared more than a dozen seriously injured along the way.
The dozen or so seriously wounded could not walk after the operation, so they could only lie on stretchers and carry the march, and the boss was worried that they would freeze and take his cotton coats to keep the wounded warm.
"No, you don't." The boss pushed away the fur coat handed over by the deputy chief of staff.
"My body is stiff, and this cold is nothing to me."
The boss really doesn't brag, he is from a bitter background, what kind of hardship has he not suffered?
The deputy chief of the General Staff was well aware of the boss's temper, so he changed hands and gave the fur coat to another seriously wounded man.
The boss looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's overcast again, it looks like it will snow in the afternoon or evening, and if there is another heavy snowfall, the road will be even more difficult to walk." β
"Yes, heavy snow will seriously affect the speed of the march."
The deputy chief of general staff also said worriedly: "We originally planned to move to the area of Liao County within a week, but judging from the current situation, half a month may not be enough. β
The boss said: "We still have to try to overcome difficulties." β
"yes." The deputy chief of the general staff thought so, "If it is delayed for one more day, the new 1st Regiment of the Independent Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment will be more dangerous in Shuiyao Mountain!" In the end, if Yoshio Shinozuka reacts to being tricked, maybe he will be annoyed and angry, and concentrate all his forces to tightly seal Shuiyao Mountain. β
"There's no doubt about it."
The boss said, "So we have to speed up." β
"We must strive to transfer to Liao County before Yoshio Shinozuka reacts."
"In this way, the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment of the Independent Regiment can open a gap and break out of the encirclement of the devils before the Japanese army in Shanxi mobilizes heavy troops to encircle them."
Hearing this, the deputy chief of general staff asked, "Boss, do you want to send a telegram to ask about the situation on the other side of Shuiyao Mountain?" β
"Nope." The boss categorically vetoed, "Before parting, Xiao Wang said that we must keep the radio silent until we reach a safe area, and we must do it." β
"Xiao Wang has put a lot of thought into it this time,"
"I deceived a few old devils to death."
"We can't let his efforts go to waste.
The deputy chief of the general staff nodded: "I see." β
β¦β¦
In Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.
Okamura Ninji had breakfast and came to the war room again.
Miyano Michiichi was working on the map with two operational staff officers, and when he saw Okamura Ninji coming in, Miyano Michiichi and the two operational staff officers hurriedly gathered their feet and stood up and paused again: "Your Excellency General!" β
Okamura Ninji waved his hand and asked, "How is the situation in Shanxi?" β
Miyano Michiichi hesitated a little when he heard this, and finally said, "It's a little hard to say. β
"Hard to put into words?" Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "So there was another mistake?" β
"It can only be said that it is a mixed blessing." Miyano said, "The good news is that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area has been successfully surrounded by the 2nd Guards Division and the Tsuda Detachment in Shuiyao Mountain. β
"Oh?" Okamura Ninji said, "Are you sure it's the main force?" β
"It's basically settled." Miyano nodded and said.
"According to the battle report provided by the 1st Army, the Eighth Route Army trapped in Shuiyao Mountain has at least 8 regiments of troops, and it still has the courage to launch a strong attack on the Tsuda detachment from the front!"
"And the Tsuda detachment was beaten very badly for a while."
"Your Excellency General, the Tsuda Detachment has 6 infantry brigades and 2 mountain artillery brigades, but it was beaten by the Eighth Route Army in Shuiyao Mountain, so there is a high probability that it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army."
"Sodesnay." Okamura Ninji said again, "What about the bad news? β
Miyano said: "The bad news is that the sweeping effect of the Taihang bandit area may not be too good." β
Okamura Ninji said: "Is it because of the collapse of the Zhengtai Road blockade after the main force of the 2nd Guards Division was transferred?" β
"Yes." Miyano Dao nodded and said, "After the main force of the 2nd Guards Division was transferred, the local troops and militia in the Taihang bandit area launched a tidal onslaught on the Zhengtai Road blockade line with the cooperation of a small number of regular troops. β
"A dozen patrol cars sent by the railway troops did not work at all."
"According to the report provided by the aviation scouts, tens of thousands of local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and hundreds of thousands of Chinese people are crossing the Zhengtai Road to the south."
"Last night's heavy snow didn't stop them from going south."
"So many local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and the people of China have fled to the mountainous areas around Xiyang Heshun and Liao County, and merged with the local armed forces and militia of the Eighth Route Army that were originally active there.
"No, no, think about it the other way around." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "Miyano-kun, think about it, if you can't annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area this time, what will happen in another year and a half?" β
"This ......," Miyano Michiichi said awe-inspiringly, "If it is another year and a half, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit District will even have the ability to shock an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army head-on!" At that time, the 1st Army in Shanxi will have to take divisions and regiments as units before it dares to enter the bandit area to sweep, and the strength of the surrounding blockade line will also be greatly strengthened, because the blockade below the brigade level is unsafe, and in this case, I don't know how many troops will be used for a sweep! β
"So." Okamura said, "It's the best result now. β
"Yes, that's for the best." Michiichi Miyano said deeply.
"As long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area can be annihilated this time, the public security situation in Shanxi will be greatly improved."
"The next time we sweep the bandit area south of Zhengtai Road, we don't need to mobilize troops like this time, and we only need to dispatch one to twenty thousand troops."
"That's it." Okamura Ninji Road.
"Telegraphed to Shinozuka-kun, so that he doesn't have to care about the local armed forces and Diao people of the Eighth Route Army who are flowing south across Zhengtai Road, just concentrate on dealing with the Eighth Route Army trapped in Shuiyao Mountain."
"Hello!" Michiichi Miyano paused suddenly.
