After a long time, Miyano Dao said quietly: "Although I know now that the Eighth Route Army has built tunnels in Fuliang Mountain and even in the entire northwest of Jin, so as to avoid being caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army during the sweep, the problem is that we have nothing to do in the face of the tunnels of the Eighth Route Army, and we can hardly find a way to crack it." ”

Speaking of this, Miyano Daoyi said hatefully: "The Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei and central Hebei is also frantically digging tunnels, causing the entire region to be unpeaceful, and the imperial army has been swept many times and has been destroyed by this. ”

Arai Tsuneo said thoughtfully: "The tunnel war is indeed very troublesome. ”

After a pause, he suddenly said, "Division commander, why don't you call Pan Sang over and ask?" ”

"Pansan?" Miyano Michichi said with a dark face, "Is that Pan Ren who wasted your 100,000 oceans?" ”

"Well, division commander, the funds of 100,000 oceans can't be regarded as a waste, after all, there is still a harvest." Arai Tsuneo said with some embarrassment, "Not only did I find out about the existence of the tunnel, but Pan Ren also used this 100,000 oceans to develop the internal response of more than a thousand people, and when the sweep begins, these people will play a key role." ”

"Oh?" Miyano Michichi was interested, "Developed more than a thousand people's internal responses?" ”

"Yes." Arai Hengxiong said, "A thousand people, on average, less than a hundred oceans per person, this is already a very low price on the intelligence front, we can no longer beg Pan Sang." ”

Hearing this, Miyano Michiichi's anger disappeared mostly.

Because Arai Tsuneo is right, the price is indeed very low.

At that moment, Miyano Michiichi said again: "Do you think Pan Sang can think of a solution?" ”

"No, no, division commander, I didn't say that." Arai Tsuneo said busily, "I just think that Pan Ren's brain is very flexible, and there are often many novel and effective magic methods when encountering problems, so you might as well call him over and ask, maybe there will be an unexpected gain, even if there is no gain, there is no loss." ”

"Okay." Miyano said, "Call him." ”

Arai Tsuneo hurriedly called the Ping'an County Detective Team.

A few hours later, Pan Ren arrived in Anhua by truck.

"Miyano Tai-kun, Arai Tai-kun." Pan Ren said with a flattering face.

"Pansang." Miyano said, "Arai-kun said that you have a flexible brain. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Pan Ren said, "I'm just a little smart, and I can't compare with the two Taijun." ”

Miyano Michiichi was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly picked out: "Pan Sang, now that the imperial army has encountered a problem, it can't crack the tunnel of Tubalu, do you have a way to crack it?" ”

"Crack?" Pan Ren said, "This is simple. ”

"Nani?" Michiichi Miyano couldn't help but glance at Tsuneo Arai.

Let the two of them have nothing to do with the authentic network, but in exchange for Pan Ren's light and simple sentence?

Arai Hengxiong said: "Pan Sang, you must know that there is no joke in the army, if you just boast indiscriminately and can't come up with actual countermeasures, you will be punished, do you understand?" ”

"I understand, I understand."

Pan Ren said: "But I really have a way. ”

After a pause, he said: "This method is a bit time-consuming, laborious and costly. ”

"Time-consuming, labor-intensive, and more expensive?" Miyano Michichi frowned slightly, and said, "You say, what way?" ”

Pan Ren rolled up his sleeves and said, "Miyano Taijun, Arai Taijun, my method is like this......"

……

Zhaojiayu, open space at the entrance of the village.

"Stand, stand!"

"Damn, donkey hair stuffed in your ears?"

"It's all for Lao Tzu to stand up, stand up!"

The militia members who maintained order were about to shout loudly, but the more than 1,000 second-rate people gathered in the open space still stood crookedly and did not queue up.

"Damn, pretend to be deaf, right?"

Shen Quan snorted, and the bullet was loaded immediately.

The surrounding militia also pushed the bolt of the gun and pushed the bullet into the chamber.

Seeing this, the more than 1,000 second-rate people hurriedly fell to the ground with their heads in their hands.

Some of the bold ones were still there shouting: "Eight ways to kill, eight ways to kill!" ”

However, no one will sympathize with them this time, because these more than 1,000 second-rate people have all stolen goods, and they have all found huge assets of unknown origin from their homes - more than fifty yuan per person!

Just this one case will generate 60,000 oceans of income for the Fuliang Mountain base area!

For these second-rate traitors who betray the secrets of the base area, the villagers hate them to the core, and the militia hates them even more, because this is very likely to cause their militia to suffer a big loss when facing the devils!

"Counselor Wang!" Shen Quan said with a dark face, "It's all dead!" ”

Hearing this, many second-rate people suddenly trembled with fright.

Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "This is free labor, what a pity to die." ”

"What?" Shen Quan was stunned when he heard this, and said a little unhappily, "You mean not to kill?" ”

"Don't kill, of course don't." Wang Ye said, "Send it to Fuliang Mountain Fortress, let them be reformed through labor, and dig tunnels!" ”

……

Two days later, Taiyuan.

Iwamatsu Yoshio walked out on crutches and asked Hanaya-kun, "Hanaya-kun, what's the matter?" Why did Your Excellency the General suddenly come to Taiyuan? No prior notice? ”

"I don't know." Hanaya said with a wry smile.

"I also just received a notice from the front army command."

"It is said that the special train of the General's Pavilion has passed Shouyang, and it will arrive in Taiyuan soon."

"Strange." Iwatsuki Yoshio frowned and said, "What is Your Excellency General doing in Taiyuan at this time?" ”

While the two were talking, they saw a sedan slowly driving into the headquarters compound, and where the door was opened, Kamegawa Kiyoshi, chief of staff of the 2nd Guards Division, got down first, and then opened the back door to cover the upper edge of the door.

Immediately after, Miyano Michiichi, the commander of the 2nd Guards Division, bowed his head and walked down.

Seeing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanaya Masashi immediately reacted, why did Okamura Ninji come to Taiyuan, obviously, it was to give Miyano Michichi a platform.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Miyano Michichi and Kamegawa Kiyoshi took their feet and stood in salute.

"Miyano-kun." Iwamatsu Yoshio returned the military salute and said, "Are you also here to meet His Excellency the General?" ”

"Hello." Miyano Michichi paused and said, "I also just received an urgent telegram from the Front Army Headquarters this morning, asking me to come to Taiyuan with the No. D battle plan to accept the personal guidance of His Excellency the General. ”

Iwamatsu Yoshishi's ambition was sure to be true, but he smiled on the surface: "Then let's go and meet it together." ”

At that moment, the two of them got on the bus separately, and drove out of the inner city from the Houzai Gate, and then passed through the arch gate to the railway station.

At this time, the city wall of the arch gate has been repaired, but there is an obvious color difference between the city wall at the gap and the city wall on both sides, which can be seen at a glance.

Not long after Yoshio Iwamatsu and Michino Michiichi waited for their entourage, Okamura Ninji's special train arrived.

At the opening of the car door, Okamura Ninji, surrounded by several staff officers including the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Arisue Seizo, slowly got off the train, and greeted Yoshio Iwazuki, Miyano Michiichi and others.

"Iwamatsu-kun, are your legs better?" Okamura asked.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern." Iwamatsu Yoshio said, "It's basically recovered." ”

"Okay." Okamura Ninji turned his gaze to Miyano Michichi and said, "Miyano-kun, it's hard work. ”

"Shame on your duty." Miyano Michiichi said with some guilt, "I didn't make a D battle plan until now. ”

"Hey, don't think so." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "A good meal is not afraid of being late, as long as the D battle plan is an effective plan, what does it matter if it is a few days late?" ”

Hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu was speechless, is it necessary to do this?

But then again, Okamura Ninji really trusts Michichi Miyano.

After the salute, a group photo was taken, and then the group rushed to the headquarters of the First Army.

The headquarters of the First Army has already been prepared, and a model of Fuliang Mountain has been prepared on the sand table.

However, Michiichi Miyano brought his own slide projector, and Kamegawa Kiyoshi, chief of staff of the 2nd Guards Division, quickly set up the slide projector and curtain in the combat hall with two operations.

A whisper rang out in the battle hall.

Okamura Ninji also had an expectant look on his face.

The use of slides to show the battle plan is quite novel.

Michiichi Miyano placed the first image under the slide projector, and a map was immediately projected on the screen, and although it was not very clear, all the symbols and words could be seen clearly.

I saw that six concentric circles were drawn on the picture with Fuliang Mountain as the center.

In the middle of the two adjacent concentric circles, there are many smaller circles.

The whispers in the battle hall turned into a buzzing discussion.

In the end, it was only Hanaya who came forward and said: "Silence, gentlemen, please stay quiet." ”

It wasn't until the war hall was quiet that Miyano Michiichi pointed to the picture and said: "The Fuliang Mountain Bandit Area covers most of Ping'an County, Heyuan County and Fu'an County, with a depth of about 60 kilometers and an area of about 3,600 square kilometers, occupying three towns, 16 townships, and about 200 administrative villages. ”

"The total population of the bandit area is about 200,000 people."

"According to intelligence, the strength of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is about 2,000 people."

"The exact number of militias is not known, but it is estimated to be around 2,000."

"However, the militia in the Fuliang Mountain bandit area is better equipped than other bandit areas, and has a certain combat effectiveness."

"In terms of equipment, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has about two to four 92 infantry guns, two to four Gongxian mortars, and no other heavy weapons, so it has a certain ability to attack fortifications, but it is not strong."

"In addition, tunnels have been dug in all towns, townships and even villages in the Fuliang Mountain bandit area."

"And these tunnels are all connected together, forming a huge network."

"In other words, if there are no countermeasures, the personnel and materials of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army can quickly reach any location in the Fuliang Mountain bandit area through tunnels."

Whispers rang out in the battle hall again.

Obviously, the operational staff officers present were shocked.

All the villages and towns are connected by tunnels, and this is amazing.

The Eighth Route Army can quickly deploy personnel and materials through tunnels, which is even more powerful.

If you can't crack the tunnel tactics of the Eighth Route Army, the sweep of the Fuliang Mountain bandit area will be in vain.

Okamura Ninji also turned his head and whispered to Yusue Seizo: "Yousue-kun, it seems that we really came to the right place this time, Miyano-kun really worked hard, and let's see what tricks he has to crack the tunnel." ”

Youmo Jing said: "Yes, the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei bandit area and the southern Hebei bandit area also used tunnel tactics, so that the imperial army swept many times in vain, but lost a lot of resources. ”

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi said again: "I guess all the gentlemen have seen it,"

"If you can't counter the tunnel tactics of the Eighth Route Army, then the sweep of the Fuliang Mountain bandit area can only be a blind job, so how to counter the tunnel tactics of the Eighth Route Army?"

"This requires a careful look at the composition of the tunnels in the bandit area."

"According to the reconnaissance, the tunnels in the bandit area are mainly dug by relying on villages and towns."

"Its main purpose is also to transfer and cover the personnel and materials of the village and township, and the dispatch of personnel and materials of the Eighth Route Army is secondary."

"This feature gives us a way to crack it."

"Our solution is to dig a deep trench around the village in the bandit area!"

"According to reconnaissance, the depth of the tunnels in the bandit area is generally between four and six meters, so we will dig a trench ten meters deep."

"Through a ten-meter-deep trench, the village can be isolated from the underground transportation network of the bandit area, and when the villages are isolated, the huge underground transportation network of the bandit area will no longer exist."

"Sodesnay!" Okamura Ninji still has three minutes of time to shine.

The others also showed amazement, and even Iwamatsu Yoshio had to admit that this was a clever move.

Only Ryuichi Sakamoto questioned: "The problem is that the Eighth Route Army will not allow the Imperial Army to dig deep trenches around the village. ”

Miyano Michiichi smiled slightly, and said: "What Sakamoto-kun said is extremely true, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not let us dig deep trenches, so the entrenchment tactics need to be supplemented by fortress tactics. ”

Okamura Ninji couldn't help but glance at Yusue Seizo again.

Fortress tactics, this idea is very close to his thoughts.

"Fort War?" Ryuichi Sakamoto frowned and said, "Do you build a lot of bunkers?" ”

"It's not just a lot of bunkers." Miyano Michi smiled and said, "And we have to keep repairing forward, relying on the bunker to dig another blockade ditch." ”

After saying this, Miyano Michiichi pointed to the picture again and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, look at the concentric circles one by one, which are circular blockade ditches. ”

"The first blockade ditch has a diameter of 60 kilometers and a total length of about 200 kilometers."

"A bunker has to be built every 500 meters, and about 400 bunkers need to be built in the outermost trench."

"After the first blockade ditch and pillboxes are repaired, the sweeping troops advance five kilometers and then dig the second blockade ditch."

"The second blockade ditch is fifty kilometers in diameter and about one hundred and sixty kilometers in length, and it will be necessary to build about three hundred and twenty improvised pillboxes."

"Then there is the third blockade ditch, which requires the repair of two hundred and forty pillboxes."

"Then there is the fourth, fifth, and sixth blockade ditches, and there are two hundred, one hundred and twenty, and sixty bunkers to be built, respectively."

"A total of 1,340 improvised bunkers need to be built!"

"It is necessary to dig about 670 kilometers of blockade trenches, and of course, this does not include the deep trenches around the village."

In the end, Miyano Michiichi pointed to the small circles between the concentric circles, which were large and small, corresponding to the three towns, a dozen townships, and about two hundred administrative villages in the Fuliang Mountain Bandit District.

"I'm against it." Takashi Sakamoto said loudly, "This is a dumb battle, fighting for consumption, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low." ”

"Not really." Takuto Mizuhara can be regarded as carrying it with Takuichi Sakamoto, and as soon as Takaichi Sakamoto's voice fell, Takuya Mizuhara stood up and said, "This tactic is indeed very low in the short term, but if you stretch the long line, it is still a relatively efficient tactic. ”

"Oh yes?" Okamura Ninji happily asked, "Which classic battle case is it?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "It is the example of the battle of the Zeng Kingdom to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom more than 80 years ago. ”

"Zeng Guofan's tactics of exterminating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were criticized by the later Shina people as a dumb war."

"But the fact that Zeng Guofan used this tactic to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom without dominating politically, militarily, or even diplomatically is enough to prove that this was an efficient tactic."

"The young man is quite knowledgeable." Okamura Ninji smiled slightly and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Haiyi, I have an inquiry from His Excellency General Lao." Takuya Mizuhara said excitedly, "Takuya Mizuhara's humble name is Takuya, and he likes the history of Shina since he was a child, so he knows the story of Zeng Guofan." ”

"Eighty years ago is too long." Okamura Ninji smiled slightly, and said, "Eight years ago, there was another similar battle in Shina, and the final result was also the victory of the fortress advance tactic. ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "Your Excellency the General is talking about the fifth encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Central Army of China? ”

"Huh? You know that? "Okamura Ninji is really a little surprised at this time, there are not many imperial officers who are involved in this period of history, and there are even fewer young officers.

The young man in front of him is really a manufactur.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji nodded happily and said: "Yes, it was the fifth encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Central Army of China, and in the end, the Central Army of China won a complete victory, and the Red Army was forced to move to northern Shaanxi. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji asked Miyano Dao again: "Miyano-kun, your fortress encirclement tactics are at least invulnerable from the tactical level, but there is a fatal shortcoming at the strategic level. ”

"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as a lot of time."

"So, you can't succeed without a strong economic foundation."

"However, fortunately, at present, the Imperial Army still has an absolute advantage over the Eighth Route Army."

"This includes absolute economic and military superiority, so this tactic is feasible."

Okamura Ninji's sentence is feasible, which is equivalent to the final word, that is, this tactic has been approved.

Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't say much, although Okamura Ningji's behavior was suspected of overstepping his authority, but on the other hand, if this sweep finally failed, it would have nothing to do with him Iwamatsu Yoshio, and he would not be responsible.

"Hello!" Michichi Miyano shook his head excitedly, and said, "Your Excellency the General, rest assured, I will save manpower and material resources as much as possible, and use every penny of funds allocated by the Front Army Headquarters." ”

"Yo Si." Okamura nodded happily.
