Iwamatsu Yoshio also had the same confusion, and said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that the Eighth Route Army deceived the foolish men and women of the five provinces in North China, and expanded their army from the original more than 30,000 people to hundreds of thousands, causing the imperial army to be unpeaceful, how can this become the Achilles heel of the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"It's simple." Pan Ren said, "Take the people to blackmail the Eighth Route Army. ”

After a pause, Pan Ren said again: "Isn't the Eighth Route Army claiming to be the people's army? Doesn't it claim that you will never aim your guns at the people? So now, let's put the people in front as a meat shield, and see if the Eighth Route Army chooses to shoot or not? If they shoot, then all the propaganda policies will be completely bankrupt, and they will no longer be able to deceive the fools and fools of the bandit districts, but if they don't shoot, then they can only obediently die! ”

"So that's it?" Hua Gu Zheng frowned when he heard this.

Iwamatsu Yoshio's face also fell, this method is actually not new at all.

Because as early as several years ago, when they were sweeping the base of the Eighth Route Army, they often used such a trick, but the effect could only be said to be unsatisfactory.

It can't be said that it is completely ineffective, but the side effects are very obvious.

In the short term, it is still effective, and it can weaken the Eighth Route Army to a certain extent, but in the long run, it will force the common people to support the Eighth Route Army more firmly, and virtually increase the war potential of the Eighth Route Army.

More importantly, this approach is a serious departure from Okamura's three-noes policy.

Seeing that Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanaya Zheng's expressions turned cold, Pan Ren chuckled in his heart.

"Iwamatsu Taijun, Hanaya Taijun." Pan Ren said cautiously, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No problem." Iwamatsu Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You're doing a good job, please go back." ”

"Hello." Pan Ren obviously felt that he should have said something wrong, but he just couldn't figure out what he said wrong, so he could only return to the arch gate with confusion.

Seeing Pan Ren's figure disappear, Hua Guzheng said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander, do you want to let Pan Sang's actions go?" ”

"Hurry up with power, and treat it special in special times." "Even if this move hurts the good people's sense of identity with the Imperial Army to a certain extent, they can be remedied afterwards." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The most important thing is that Taiyuan can't have problems. ”

"Okay." Hanaya said, "I hope Pan Sang doesn't cause any trouble." ”

"No, it won't." Iwamatsu Yoshio said, "Pan Sang still acts in a measured manner."

……

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie returned to the headquarters of the Shejitan with black faces.

"Damn, this battle can't be fought." Li Yunlong said with a dark face.

Kong Jie also said: "That's it, Pan Ren, this dog traitor, is too vicious. ”

"What's wrong?" Ding Wei was surprised, "Lao Li, Lao Kong, what's the matter?"

"I don't want to say it." Li Yunlong said hatefully, "Saying that he fucking dirty Lao Tzu's mouth." ”

Or Kong Jie said: "Lao Ding, you don't know, Pan Ren, this dog traitor, is too vicious, he actually tied up the people in Taiyuan City to use them as meat shields!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ding Wei changed color.

"That's true." Kong Jie said hatefully, "At the beginning, it was very smooth, a platoon of Lao Tzu easily seized the fortifications of the far gate of the town, but at this juncture, a team of puppet troops came, pushing the people as meat shields, and forced Lao Tzu's soldiers into the corner, Lao Tzu's soldiers did not shoot, nor did they shoot." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "In the end, he was beaten to death by the puppet army." ”

"What a goddamn soldier, but he was used as a target by the puppet army."

Ding Wei's face darkened, and he said hatefully: "The surname Pan is going to isolate himself from the people!" ”

"This dog traitor's conscience has been eaten by dogs." Kong Jie said hatefully, "He'd better not fall into Lao Tzu's hands, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to kill him inch by inch."

Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "Don't forget to cut a few more knives for Lao Tzu." ”

"Lao Li, don't worry." Kong Jie said hatefully, "If you don't cut enough three thousand six hundred knives, you will never let him choke his breath in advance, I, Kong Jie, have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never hated a person like this!"

Kong Jie's sentence basically sentenced Pan Ren in advance, and he was cut with a thousand cuts!

At this time, Wang Ye suddenly said: "Several chiefs, it is hateful for the surname Pan to do this, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Taiyuan Campaign. ”

"Huh? Xiao Wang, what did you say? ”

"What did you say on a dog's day? Is this a good thing? ”

Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong Huo Ran turned their heads and looked at them with unkind expressions.

"No, don't get me wrong, three leaders, I don't agree with Pan Ren's perverseness." Wang Ye shook his hands and said, "Just because of Pan Ren's bestiality, it is not an exaggeration to sentence him to a thousand knives, but what I want to say is that his behavior will inevitably cause the people in Taiyuan City to deviate from the devil puppet army, and the surname Pan is digging his own grave!" ”

"So that's it." Li Yunlong said, "Lao Tzu thought you agreed with this dog traitor." ”

Ding Wei asked, "Dig your own grave?" Xiao Wang, you mean, this will bring us opportunities? ”

"Yes, it's going to give us a chance!" Wang Ye said, "Just now, Commander Ding was still asking me, why don't you let the Wolf Warrior Squadron enter Taiyuan City to lurk, and wait until the independent regiment launches an attack and then take the Gongji Gate city wall in one fell swoop, now, I can answer Commander Ding, because there is no chance." ”

"No chance?" Ding Wei frowned and said, "Will it be discovered?" ”

"Yes, it will be discovered." Wang Ye said, "For our Wolf Warrior Squadron, Taiyuan's city walls have never been a problem, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, the members of our Wolf Warrior Squadron don't even need to use tools, they can easily climb in and out with their bare hands, and the devil puppet army in the city is not a problem, we have a way to avoid the eyes of the devil and the puppet army." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "But we have no way to hide from the eyes of the people in the city. ”

Kong Jie said in a deep voice: "You mean, after your wolf squadron enters the city, it will be denounced by the people?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "Although it is difficult to accept emotionally, the reality is so cruel, after being occupied by devils for many years, most of the people in the city have become accustomed to the rule of devils, and just want to be honest and obedient to the people, so we are extremely hostile to us who always attack devils." ”

"Ugh." Ding Wei sighed, "This is human nature, there is no way." ”

Li Yunlong said hatefully: "Then now, they are paying the due price for their original choice." ”

Wang Ye continued: "But now, I dare to say that after the Wolf Warrior Squadron enters the city, it will definitely be covered by most of the people, and it will have the opportunity to find a secluded place to lurk. ”

Ding Wei frowned and said, "Are you sure?" You're gambling! ”

"Even if it's gambling, I'm sure enough." Wang Ye nodded and said, "And the action must be fast, once it drags on for too long, the revenge of the people in the city will gradually fade." ”

Li Yunlong frowned and said: "But the problem is that now the four city walls are full of puppet troops like candles, and the wolf warrior squadron can't get into it no matter how big it is." ”

"Then retreat first!" Ding Wei said.

"After withdrawing ten miles one after another, I don't believe that the puppet army can maintain this intensity all the time."

"So what are you waiting for?" Kong Jie waved the dry tobacco pipe in his hand and said, "Hurry up and retreat, and retreat ten miles one after another." ”

"There's no hurry." Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "If we withdraw now, we will be suspected by the devil puppet army, so it is better to wait for the devil puppet army to take the initiative to force us to retreat, and then withdraw the troops will not be suspicious." ”

……

The night passed quickly.

After the failure of the first attack, the Eighth Route Army never launched an attack again, so the devils in Taiyuan City were able to spend a peaceful night and sleep well.

When he woke up, Yoshio Iwamatsu became refreshed.

After breakfast, Iwamatsu Yoshio walked into the battle hall quickly, and asked, "Daosheng-kun, what progress has been made in the sweeping battle in the Taihang bandit area?" ”

"Not really." Masao Inamori shook his head.

After a pause, Masao Inamori said again: "Actually, it can't be said that there is no movement. ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio was confused when he heard this, and said with a frown: "Is there movement or no movement?" Make it clear. ”

"Hello." Masao Inamori paused, "That's right, last night the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area launched a fierce attack on the Sixth Brigade of the Third Division of the Imperial Association, and even used artillery. ”

"But Sakamoto-kun judged that this was just a bluff of the Eighth Route Army."

"Therefore, the 69th Division did not take corresponding military action."

"Sakamoto-kun insisted that only when the Eighth Route Army revealed its true intentions could the 69th Division take corresponding military action, otherwise it would be easy to lose its fighters."

After a pause, Masao Inamori said again: "Sakamoto-kun's judgment is still credible. ”

"The Eighth Route Army is just bluffing?" Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned and asked, "What is the basis for Sakamoto-kun's judgment?" ”

Masao Inamori said: "Sakamoto-kun said that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rarely go straight and almost never reveal their true intentions in the early stages of the campaign. ”

"That's right." Iwamatsu Yoshio Road.

"Eight Roads have always been cunning and cunning."

……

Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, all the outer obstacles have been cleared?"

"Good! I know, I'll report to the boss right away. ”

Hanging up the phone, the deputy chief of general staff said to the boss: "Boss, the 129th Division reports that after a night of fierce fighting, the participating brigades have cleared the peripheral obstacles and can launch a general attack at any time!" ”

"Good!" The boss threw the pencil in his hand onto the map.

immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Eat this sixth brigade of the puppet army raised by a son of a bitch!" ”

"Yes!" The deputy chief of general staff agreed, grabbed the phone and wanted to call the 129th Division, and said, "The 129th Division, the boss ordered, eat the 6th Brigade of the puppet army raised by the bitch!" ”

……

Heshun County, the temporary headquarters of the 69th Division.

Early in the morning, Ryuichi Sakamoto had already climbed up, and he was holding a magnifying glass, carefully proofreading the map, and Ryuichi Sakamoto found that the map had many errors and was revising them one by one.

While he was busy, Inoue Sadae walked in wearing only a shirt.

Inoue Sadawei's forehead was sweating slightly, and it was obvious that he had just practiced a knife technique.

Seeing Ryuichi Sakamoto, Sadae Inoue greeted with a smile: "Sakamoto-kun, so early?" ”

"It's still early?" Ryuichi Sakamoto's poisonous tongue attribute was automatically exerted, "Only the children of a family like you will get up so late, and we, the children of ordinary people, have always been three watches and five watches." ”

Inoue Sadawei's face fell, have the children of our family eaten your rice?

After a long time of psychological construction, Inoue Sadawei said again: "Was there anything abnormal last night?" ”

"Not really." Ryuichi Sakamoto didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't raise his head and said, "The Eighth Route Army has been feintting to attack the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association, trying to lure the main force of our division to rush to help. ”

After a pause, he added, "It's a pity I won't be fooled." ”

"You've been attacking the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association?" Inoue said casually, "One night? ”

Inoue Sada's defender had no intention, but Sakamoto Takashi heard it, but his heart shook suddenly.

Seeing Sakamoto Takuichi Huo Ran raising his head, his face also changed, Inoue Sadawei said with concern: "Sakamoto-kun, what's wrong?" ”

"It's broken!" Sakamoto Takaichi said with a dark face, "I was taken into the ditch by Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, and I made a preconceived fatal mistake, broken!" ”

"Sakamoto-kun? What are you talking about? ”

Inoue Sadae looked confused, unable to keep up with Ryuichi Sakamoto's thinking at all.

Sakamoto Takashi said hatefully: "Li Yunlong and Wang Ye are scheming, and there will always be endless conspiracies and tricks when fighting, so I take it for granted that the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army is also the same kind of person, but in fact, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army is fierce by nature, and going straight is his personal style!" ”

At this time, Inoue Zhenwei finally understood, and said: "You mean, the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association is real?" And not just a feint that you judged before? Is that so? ”

"Yes." Takashi Sakamoto said hatefully, "This is not a feint!" ”

"So what are we waiting for?" Inoue said urgently, "Hurry up and send troops to rescue!" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late." Sakamoto Takuichi sighed and said, "After a night of fighting, the Eighth Route Army is afraid that it has already swept away the peripheral positions of the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association, and most of this will have already launched a general attack, even if we put on our wings and fly over, I am afraid that we will not be able to save the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association, hateful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mei Igarashi, the head of the communications section, walked in quickly with a black face.

"Division Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!" Igarashi Meton said, "I just received a farewell telegram from the Akino team, and at dawn the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a general attack, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Association were all wiped out, and the Akino team was also collectively shattered!" ”

"Damn it!"

Takashi Sakamoto slammed his fists on the map one by one.

Inoue Sadae once again cast a surprised look at Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Although Ryuichi Sakamoto made a mistake that led to the annihilation of the Sixth Brigade of the puppet army, Inoue Sadawei found that he actually admired this guy even more, I have to say that Ryuichi Sakamoto still has some ability, Inoue Ryuichi suddenly felt that handing over the 69th Division to Ryuichi Sakamoto was actually a good choice.

……

Liao County, headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"The battle is over? The 6th Brigade of the puppet army has been completely wiped out by me? Good, good! ”

Putting down the phone, the deputy chief of staff turned around and said excitedly to the boss: "Boss, the 129th Division has finished its work, and the 6th Brigade of the puppet army has been completely wiped out by me!" ”

"Well done!" The boss laughed.

"The little devil still wants to fish, and now it has become a gift for us."

Ma Yuan, the combat staff officer, said with a smile: "Boss, the devil has put four baits this time, let's only eat one bait from him, isn't it too polite?" Do you want to eat another one from him? ”

Chen Mingli, another operational staff officer, also said: "If you want me to say, you should eat all four bait." ”

"No, you're too greedy." The boss said, "You must know that you can't go any further." ”

The deputy chief of staff laughed and said, "Boss, what should I do next for the 129th Division?" ”

"What's next?" The boss said, "I mean we don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and we won't move until the devil shows his true intentions!" ”

"The 129th Division also has the same opinion."

The deputy chief of the general staff smiled: "It's really a hero's vision." ”

The boss smiled and said, "Is there any news from Taiyuan?" ”

"There's bad news." The deputy chief of general staff's face became serious, and said in a deep voice, "The attacks of the two clusters in the north and south on Taiyuan have been frustrated, and the commander of the seventh division of the puppet army, Pan Ren, this dog traitor is really too insidious, he actually kidnapped the people in Taiyuan City to act as a meat shield, and our siege troops were caught off guard and suffered a big loss!" ”

"This dog thing!" The boss's face fell.

The good mood of winning the battle is also gone.

……

At this time, in the Taiyuan arch gate tower.

Pan Ren shouted: "Lao Diao, set up the cauldron for Lao Tzu!" ”

Diao Desheng's eyelids jumped suddenly, but he still stubbornly took a few puppet soldiers and set up a 28-inch marching iron pot on the head of the city.

Fill the pot with cold water first,

Then pile firewood on the bottom of the pot and make a fire to boil.

After a while, the pot began to steam.

Looking at the heat rising from the iron pot, the corners of Pan Ren's mouth showed a sinister smile.

Immediately, Pan Ren yelled at the outside of the city: "The eight roads outside the city have been carefully listened to by Lao Tzu, give you five minutes, and if you don't withdraw within five minutes, I will cook a child alive!" Then every five minutes, cook another one alive! ”

Speaking of this, Pan Ren turned his gaze back to the young women with their children in their arms standing in a row.

The young woman was frightened, and subconsciously hugged the child in her arms one by one.

"Don't blame me." Pan Ren said with a cruel smile, "If you want to blame it, you can blame the eight roads, if they didn't open their eyes and came to fight Taiyuan, could there be today?" So it's the Eighth Route Army that messes up the lives of our big guys, it's the Eighth Route Army that doesn't give us the Imperial Association a way to live, and it's the Eighth Route Army that doesn't leave you a way to live! ”

The young woman with the child in her arms bowed her head in unison.

The rest of the people also cast fearful and hateful glances at Pan Ren.

Pan Ren, a pervert, enjoyed this gaze very much, and strode towards a young woman.

The young woman was so frightened that she retreated again and again, but Pan Ren still snatched the child: "Take it!" ”
