Iwakura speaks a few words of Chinese, but it's clear that he doesn't know much about Chinese culture.

Faced with Li Yunlong's inquiry, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer in embarrassment for the time being:

"I have heard that His Excellency Li Yunlong was born as a samurai, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is a strong general, I didn't expect you to write so imposingly, if you surrender to the Imperial Army, Commander Okamura will definitely sweep the couch to greet you."

This is interesting, this little devil is now under the eaves, and he dares to persuade Li Yunlong so openly.

Li Yunlong thought for a while and said happily: "Brother Iwakura, I guess Iwakura must be familiar with you, right?" Did he waver for the Meiji Restoration?

As a native of Kyoto, you must see him as an idol, right? ”

The Iwakura Gushi mentioned by Li Yunlong was a great contributor to Japan's Meiji Restoration.

It can even be said that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which gradually became stronger, was able to reach the point where it is today, and Iwakura Gudai regarded this old devil as making outstanding contributions.

Li Yunlong pondered, the leader of the devil in front of him was also surnamed Iwakura, and he was still the junior of Iwakura.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Li Yunlong also began to understand some Japanese culture during this time, so he naturally had to pretend at this moment.

Sure enough.

As soon as Li Yunlong's words came out, Iwakura immediately understood Li Yunlong's determination to resist Japan.

"Your Excellency, I offended.

Iwakura seniors are the totems of my family, and I am ashamed of myself and other juniors.

Your Excellency, like Elder Iwakura, is a loyal patriot, please forgive me for being wrong. ”

"Red bean puree Smimarseille!" Iwakura hung his head apologetically at Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong proudly raised his head at some of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army who accompanied him.

As if he was invisibly telling, see, our Lao Li is relying on cultural means to make his little devil bow his head and admit his mistakes!

Then, Lao Li patted Iwakura on the shoulder and said seriously:

"Brother Iwakura, it seems that your Chinese culture still needs to be strengthened.

I will reluctantly give you a Chinese teacher, this so-called Huma, in fact, is you little devil, and this Dragon City is the fortifications set up by our Eighth Route Army along the transportation line of your Japanese army, as for the flying general, it is naturally me Li Yunlong.

What does that mean?

As long as there is a day when I Li Yunlong is here in this county, hum, you little devils don't want to fight in this direction! ”

"Oh yes, this time your mission has also been completed, and you will give you this calligraphy and painting for me, Commander Okamura.

My old comrade-in-arms Kong Jie got married, he gave a lot of congratulatory gifts, and the next time I get married, I will have to exchange gifts!

By the way, the relics and corpses of the two captains who died in Xiangtangpu, I also ask you to take them back for burial! This time, for the sake of the fate of meeting thousands of miles, I won't take any money! ”

Li Yunlong said, handing the words written by himself in his hand to Iwakura.

"......" Iwakura, his face trembled, and for the relics and remains of the warriors, he replied: "Your Excellency is a respectable, true soldier!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Brother Iwakura, let's eat something, I'll send you on your way early tomorrow morning!" ”

The smile before parting made Iwakura shiver again.

When Iwakura went back to tell the other devils and traitors, I heard that Li Yunlong was going to send everyone on the road, and a group of people cried while eating.

A puppet army officer said: "Taijun, this Li Yunlong has always been black-faced and ruthless, and he doesn't pay attention to the rules. ”

The brigade commander arrived at the front-line headquarters and saw that the puppet army was crying and crying no matter how they ate that day.

Iwakura even found the brigade commander and cried bitterly, saying that Li Yunlong was going to dispose of them secretly.

The brigade commander felt a little inexplicable, so he went to ask Li Yunlong what kind of reputation he was doing.

As a result, Lao Li looked confused: "Old brigade commander, wronged, didn't I just say that I would send them on the road back to HD early tomorrow morning?" ”

The brigade commander came back to his senses and scolded with a smile: "This good send-off, what do you say, how does it look like a funeral?" It seems that your reputation Li Yunlong is too bad for the devils, and he is deceived and unscrupulous.

This little devil fell into your hands, and eighty percent of my heart was cold. ”

Li Yunlong said happily: "Old brigade commander, that can't be, I've been learning culture recently, changing from the inside to the outside!"

I also sent a poem to Okamura as a gift this time, why is he embarrassed not to give some gifts next time I get married?

Lao Kong's wedding devils have all given gifts, and we can't leave it behind when we get married.

My Li Yunlong's handwriting is precious! ”

The brigade commander smiled: "You kid is much smarter, so did you help me get one?" ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "How can the little gift from Okamura be worthy of you, the brigade commander?" You have to have an envoy from the emperor to give a gift! ”

The brigade commander smiled even more, no wonder he has always liked Li Yunlong, and getting along with this kid is a lot of fun.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, I haven't found a chance to communicate with you kid for a long time, since you made up your mind to build a rapid reaction force directly under our Taihang, you have been bent on this road.

But Li Yunlong, you have to understand that our Eighth Route Army currently lacks mobile troops, and now that we have built such a unit, you, the military commander, may be changed at any time.

So you kid have to think about it clearly, you have to have a full command ability, give you mobile troops today, you can lead the battle, give you regular infantry another day, you have to give me a good command!

This battle around Licheng Shexian, Xiangyuan, Lucheng and other five cities can be regarded as a large-scale battle, you kid just follow me to study hard, this is a blessing that ordinary people can't ask for. ”

Li Yunlong immediately closed his heels and replied solemnly: "Yes!" ”

It's just that after answering, the kid's eyes gurgled for a while, and he looked at the general on the side, and said without changing his face: "Old Qin, can you hear it, follow our brigade commander to learn a little!" You can do whatever the brigade commander tells you to do, you can't discount it, you can't complain, even if the brigade commander scolds you, you can't contradict the brigade commander, and you can't fight with the brigade commander. ”

Brigadier: "??? ”

What the hell is this?

"What, Li Yunlong, let your kid learn from me how to command a large-scale battle, and I still wronged you?"

Li Yunlong said: "How dare I do this!" ”

just then muttered again, "This Lao Kong has the personal guidance of the division commander, and the boss will occasionally take it for two days, and the deputy chief of staff will study the battle situation with Lao Kong if he is fine."

Even Ding Wei fought with the devils in the south of Licheng, under the guidance of the deputy division commander and Brigade Commander Chen.

Why did you get worse treatment when you came to me? ”

When the brigade commander heard this, he didn't understand what Li Yunlong was thinking, and he was immediately angry.

This thing that has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the brigade commander raised his foot and was about to kick someone, but the bluffing Li Yunlong hurriedly ran away.

There was laughter from behind him.

……

……

In the end, in fear, the Japanese puppet army of the devil Shaozuo Iwakura and his party was sent to HD by Li Yunlong.

When they were convinced that their group had indeed escaped from the tiger's mouth, had completely returned to the stable security area of the empire, and had been protected by the gendarmerie, Iwakura and his party almost cried with joy.

Finally escaped from the clutches of the black-hearted Li head.

After tossing and turning, Iwakura met Okamura and showed Okamura the painting that Li Yunlong had asked him to hand over.

Okamura has the nickname of China expert, and he still has some understanding of Chinese culture, and after reading this painting written by Li Yunlong, he said in a deep voice:

"The so-called Longcheng flying generals, now it seems that they are the troops of the Eighth Route Army that have become our henchmen, and they are the damned generals of the Eighth Route Army such as Kong Jie and Li Yunlong."

"In addition, after entering the base area of the Eighth Route Army, are there any other gains?"

Iwakura recalled what he had seen and heard on the way, and replied, "Yachi was very cautious, and after our gift-giving team finished giving the gifts, they did not immediately let us go, but specially arranged for someone to guard us.

Therefore, we cannot get in touch with the core area of the Eighth Route Army's base area, but judging from the appearance of the Eighth Route Army's base area, the development of their base area has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds over the years.

The villagers I saw along the way seemed to be very rich in life, and their complexions were also ruddy.

This is very different from the quasi-security areas, and even many Chinese people in our stable security areas.

In addition, the defense system of the Eighth Route seems to be extremely tight, and when our team is still in the guerrilla zone, the Eighth Route seems to have received the news.

Later, if we hadn't indicated in time that it was the gift-giving troops who came to celebrate Kong Jie's wedding, they might have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army troops in those places halfway. ”

Okamura nodded, waved his hand, and let Iwakura leave.

He was a little distraught, and it was the third day of the sweep.

According to the plan, after a large-scale exchange between the 12th Army and the Security Army of the First Army, the 12th Army will cooperate with the main forces of the field operations and take the lead in attacking the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Shandong.

The use of a wide net and a large-scale vertical and horizontal blockade completely isolated the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, pulled up layers of sweeps, and created a depth of dozens of miles.

However, the situation was not ideal for the vanguard forces.

Especially in the area of the Taihang Base Area, with the recent winter offensive, the Eighth Route Army won a great victory, and many guerrilla areas were transformed into base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

The area of the base area of the Eighth Route Army has once again been expanded, and the strategic depth has also been greatly increased.

It is even exaggerated that in some of the deeper core areas of the Eighth Route Army base areas, even if there is no defense along the way, it will take several days and nights for the Japanese army to advance all the way according to accurate maps.

Not to mention the traps set by the Eighth Route Army along the way, which has built a defense system for so many years.

When the old devil Okamura was looking sad, Tanabe, the chief of staff of the devil, arrived, and he held a battle plan and reported to Okamura:

"General, in view of the situation of the front-line troops in the past few days, we have only carefully studied the battle situation with the staff officers.

Today, it has become extremely difficult for our army to completely set foot on the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the development of the scale of the troops and the defense of the base areas, have long exceeded our army's estimates.

Under such circumstances, unless we draw back all the combat units on the frontal battlefield, concentrate superior forces, and attack the base area of the Eighth Route Army at all costs, it will be possible to completely flatten the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, with the vast mountains and enough strategic depth, with the cunning of the Eighth Route Army and the troublesome guerrilla tactics, it is still very difficult for us to completely wipe out the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area. ”

Okamura nodded, he didn't know what was going on.

He also no longer expects to destroy all the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army.

He only thought that he could build a solid rear in North China to deal with the Pacific theater.

Therefore, for Okamura, the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route is inevitable.

Only by controlling Jizhong in one fell swoop can he Okamura stay stable in Beiping.

"Now, according to the original plan, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Taiyue Zhongtiao Mountain area will be forced to retreat to the mountainous area, and then concentrate its forces to encircle Jizhong and completely annihilate the Jizhong Military Region."

Tanabe was convinced.

And now he's actually offering advice.

"General, according to our analysis of the Eighth Route Army's base areas and the situation of the Eighth Route Army's troops, after consulting with all the staff officers, we unanimously agreed that if we follow the old traditional tactics, pull the net with heavy troops, and advance to the Eighth Route Army's base area, it will no longer be suitable for the current battlefield.

The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly, and the firepower they have at hand cannot be underestimated; if they rashly advance with heavy troops and go deep alone, the trap of the Eighth Route Army will be heavy at best, and the troops will be lost, and the whole army will be in danger of being wiped out.

So I think we might as well switch to a flexible sweeping mode! ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Okamura asked.

Tanabe replied: "General, I think we can use a small number of reconnaissance troops, equipped with armored vehicles, to try to conduct fire reconnaissance on the fortifications along the Eighth Route Army in the process of advancing to the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

Once they encountered the positions of the Eighth Route Army along the way, they immediately retreated with the help of the mobility of the armored forces, and then bombarded the positions of the Eighth Route Army with artillery and aerial firepower.

If the Eighth Route Army defending the positions is weak, we can take the opportunity to occupy these positions.

In addition, in the process of advancing to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, we can no longer only advance along the lines of communication as before.

We must also occupy all commanding heights and communication arteries along the way, as well as various pass fortifications, and draw out a relatively tight, continuous, and complete battle line, so as to guard against the Eighth Route Army taking the opportunity to intersperse roundabout operations.

Now, although the Eighth Route Army has been greatly developed, especially the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area.

But on the whole, the Eighth Route is in the case of logistical supply difficulties and lack of heavy equipment.

Our army can completely use the armored forces to quickly maneuver to raid the important communication arteries in the Eighth Route base area, control the main communication routes, and cut off the supply and support of the Eighth Route.

The armored corps, the main forces, and the air force quickly coordinated and forced the Eighth Route to engage our army.

If the Eighth Route does not want to be attacked by our army head-on, it can only be forced to retreat, and we will also be driven to the predetermined mountainous area to cooperate with the completion of the follow-up battle plan. ”

"What if the Eighth Route really concentrates its forces for a counterattack?" Okamura asked.

"Then retreat, take advantage of our army's maneuverability, and immediately counterattack with artillery and air firepower after withdrawing, fight if you can, occupy the position, withdraw if you can't fight, bombard with artillery, bombard with aircraft, and fight back and forth repeatedly.

It is to stick to the Eighth Route Army, press forward step by step, and drive these Eighth Route Army into the mountains step by step.

This tactic can be called a sticky tactic! Tanabe explained......
