The crowd pondered for a long time.

The second possibility mentioned by Political Commissar Zhao seems absurd, but when you think about it carefully, you feel that there is some truth.

Starting from the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to the northwest of Shanxi, they fought against the North China Front Army many times.

The focus is not on fighting with the First Army, but with the North China Front.

The Japanese army swept and attacked the northwest of Jin on several occasions, but not the troops of the First Army, but the troops directly under the North China Front and the troops mobilized from other front armies.

And the opponents are all Okamura Ninji, not Yoshio Iwamatsu.

On the eve of each attack of the Japanese army, Li Yunlong would receive an operational plan sent by Boss Chen and drawn up by the North China Front Headquarters.

For example, in the Xinzhou Campaign, Li Yunlong relied on the information provided by Boss Chen to destroy the aviation unit of the North China Front Army in World War I.

So that the common people in the area under the jurisdiction of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment could cross the Yellow River smoothly.

Among the officers of the entire North China Front Command, apart from Okamura Ninji, who else could provide Boss Chen with information on the battle plan in a timely manner.

"The devil's battle plan has been leaked many times, and it stands to reason that Okamura Ninji has already replaced the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and cronies around him."

Ding Wei pondered and analyzed:

"But neither Tanabe Moritake nor Seizo Arisue were replaced by Okamura, and judging from various circumstances, Okamura is indeed a little suspicious."

Several of the new regiment's operational staff officers, who were busy, were even more thoughtful.

The commander of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ninji, was his own comrade?

It's incredible.

However, the regiment commander and political commissar analyzed it like this, and it seems that this possibility is not impossible.

Kong Jie said: "Lao Li, I remember that you sent a clear code telegram before, openly ridiculing Okamura Ningji as the captain of our Eighth Route Army's transportation brigade, you won't say a word, right?" ”

"Yo, old Kong." Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie and said in a surprised tone, "You kid still know what to say?" ”

"Nonsense." Kong Jie rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think that only you kid is secretly studying, Lao Ding and I are not idle." ”

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said: "I remember that it was the 5,000 tons of war materials we captured, and now that I think about it, there are indeed some doubts, the devil's sweep of our northwest Jin has been a fiasco, and it stands to reason that this batch of war materials should be transported away immediately, but Okamura Ningji did not give an order, did he deliberately rob it for our Eighth Route Army?" ”

The crowd fell into deep thought again.

Intellectually told them that Okamura Ninji could not be a comrade, but if you look at the cocoon and clues, Okamura may really be.

The CPU in the minds of the combat staff officers on the side was almost dry, and they still didn't figure out what was going on.

Finally, Li Yunlong ended the topic.

"There's no point in dwelling on whether Okamura is our comrade."

"Regardless of whether Okamura Ningji is Boss Chen's spy or not, as long as Boss Chen provides us with the information of Okabe Naosaburo, the head of this old devil, Lao Tzu Li Yunlong will be decided!"

"Amaterasu can't stay when he comes."

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed, and his tone was fierce.

Not to mention the business price code given by Boss Chen, even if Boss Chen does not give the business price code, Li Yunlong has a plane in his hand, and if he has intelligence, he will definitely kill Naosaburo Okabe.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded, their expressions also fierce.

Kill my people and take our land.

Implacable.

Subsequently.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie left Zhaojiayu with a group of battalion commanders and returned to their respective defense areas, and the pre-war preparations of each regiment have been completed.

When they returned, they could gather their troops and prepare to attack in the direction of Taiyuan.

In Datong, Li Yunlong deployed a battalion of the division, plus one battalion each of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to defend it.

The total strength of the army is 5,000 people.

In Gaoyang County, about 50 kilometers from Datong, the remnants of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army were stationed.

Further afield, in Zhangjiakou, there are the remnants of the garrison army, although the main force of the garrison has been wiped out, but the formation of the 26th division is still there, and there are some armored vehicles and tanks.

When the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi was there, the devils would definitely not dare to attack.

But if these two devils took advantage of the absence of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and joined forces to attack Datong, Li Yunlong would have to defend against it.

Other than that.

Li Yunlong also placed 15,000 troops in the base area in the northwest of Jin Province to protect the base area in the northwest of Jin Province and to reinforce Datong at any time.

At present, industries in the northwest of Shanxi Province have been set up, and manufacturing factories such as arsenals, cement factories, iron and steel plants, and fertilizer factories have been set up.

Some troops had to be left to protect the rear.

In addition, there is also a new regiment of airports in the northwest of Shanxi.

This time, the Eighth Route Army carried out a major counteroffensive against the devils, and air support and air supremacy were crucial, so Li Yunlong had to guard against it.

Therefore, Li Yunlong also sent Xing Zhiguo to sit in the northwest of Jin, once an emergency occurs.

With Xing Zhiguo's tactical command ability, it is enough to deal with most unexpected situations.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

"Report to the Commander."

In the conference room of the headquarters of the North China Front, the intelligence staff officer reported to Okamura Ninji:

"A number of spies have sent top-secret telegrams again, and recently the troops of the Jinchaji Military Region and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army are also mobilizing troops and distributing ammunition and dry food."

Although the intelligence department of the devil did not get the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

However, the devil officers present here are very clear that once the Eighth Route Army counterattacks, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi will definitely be the main force attacking the Japanese army.

Due to the iron triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province, the time to the northwest of Shanxi is less than a year.

The Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi vigorously counter-espionage, as well as the intelligence and technical support of Boss Chen, the Japanese pseudo-spies in the northwest of Shanxi were quickly eliminated.

In addition, the new regiment has telecommunications detection vehicles, and once a Japanese pseudo-spy dares to send a telegram to the devil, it will be immediately monitored.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also sent three telecommunications detection vehicles to the headquarters in the southeast of Shanxi.

This wave of devil spies has almost all been exposed.

In the past few days, the devil's spies have been in frequent contact with the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters, and the counterintelligence department is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Okamura Ninji, Tanabe Moritake, and Arisue Seizo and other devil staff officers suddenly looked solemn.

The Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army will also be dispatched, and it seems that the Eighth Route Army is going to move in earnest.

"Your Excellency, General."

Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe immediately suggested:

"The Eighth Route Army is menacing, and I suggest that Shanxi be abandoned immediately and the six divisions of Shanxi should be transferred to Hebei."

Okamura Ninji stared at the map on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain was racing fast.

"How many war materials are there in Taiyuan?" Okamura asked.

"And 25,000 tons of war materiel." Tanabe Moritake responded, "Food and ammunition are enough to defend the four divisions in Taiyuan, and they will hold out for more than a month. ”

A large part of this batch of war materials was left unused by Okamura Ningji's assembled troops to attack the northwest of Shanxi.

Okamura was ready to keep it for the later sweep and attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, there was no chance to use this batch of war materials for sweeping and attacking the Eighth Route Army.

Adopt the tactics of center-flowering?

But soon, Okamura negated this tactic.

Now the forces in his hands are insufficient, unless the main force of the Kwantung Army goes south, he has no troops at all to make a big encirclement on the periphery of Taiyuan and eat the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one bite.

The Kwantung Army was a strategic-level unit of the Japanese army, and it was absolutely impossible for the base camp to let the main force of the Kwantung Army leave Manchuria.

After a pause, Tanabe Shengwu said again: "But it is only enough to hold on for more than a month, once a month passes, the Eighth Route Army will cut off the Zhengtai Railway, and the locust army in Taiyuan will fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food, I insist on transferring the locust army in Shanxi into Hebei, converging with the garrison troops in Hebei, and then waiting for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army." ”

Yousue Jingsan said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is an ancient saying in China, called 'cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep peacefully', and when the Eighth Route Army occupies Shanxi, with Shanxi as the rear, coupled with the assistance of the Eighth Route Army, the strength will grow rapidly, and in a maximum of half a year to a year, the Eighth Route Army can expand hundreds of thousands of main elites, and will the Locust Army abandon Hebei at that time?" ”

"When the time comes, Hebei, Shandong, and Inner Mongolia will all be abandoned, and when the Eighth Route Army exceeds one million main elites, will it even give up Manchuria, Central China, and South China?"

"When the main force of the Eighth Route Army exceeds 10 million, do you have to give up even the mainland?"

Tanabe Moritake's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Seizo Yusue in disbelief.

Did this kid take gunpowder today?

How dare you refute yourself like this, you think you are General Okamura Ninji, play the following with me?

"Yaga!" Tanabe Moritake was furious, "There is Sue-kun, are you the chief of staff, or am I the chief of staff?" ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff is angry, of course you are the Chief of Staff." Arisue Seizo said coldly, "I'm just expressing my opinion, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff can refute it." ”

Tanabe Moritake glanced at Okamura Ninji, wondering if it was Okamura Ninji's instructions.

Is it the end of the essence of the fox in the fox fake tiger power, or Okamura Ninji really wants to replace himself and support the end of the essence of the three on the top?

There is a slight abnormality in Sue Seizo's reaction today.

In the past, although this kid would also refute his own opinions, he had never been so tricky as he is today.

It's completely unself-conscious.

Although the base camp wanted to send Okabe Naosaburo to Beiping to take over the post of commander of the North China Front.

But Tanabe Moritake knew very well that Okamura Ninji would never leave Beiping in a short period of time, and once he left Beiping, it would mean danger.

Last night, Seizo Sue went to Okamura Ninji's house and left very late...

Could it be that Seizo Sue has already expressed his loyalty to Okamura Ninji?

Tanabe Moritake's face suddenly became a little cloudy.

"Don't even make any noise."

Okamura Ninji's cold eyes swept over, and Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo obediently closed their mouths.

Two wastes...

At present, the enemy is still bickering.

Sometimes, Okamura Ninji really wanted to hack these two fools to death with a general's sword.

"You two have a point."

Taking a deep breath, Okamura Ninji regained his composure and said in a deep voice:

"However, the base camp has already given us an order that we must not give up Shanxi, and also ordered us to immediately attack the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi."

Tanabe Shengwu's face was as usual, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart, the base camp also ordered you to attack the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, didn't you still run to attack the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region?

Is there any difference between one gram and two grams?

But Tanabe Moritake didn't dare to say it in front of Okamura Ninji.

Otherwise, Okamura Ninji would definitely cut him.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" Moritake Tanabe asked.

Okamura Ninji gave an order in a categorical tone: "First, order all divisions and regiments in Shanxi and the First Army to hold the Taiyuan and Zhengtai railways, and kill and injure the Eighth Route Army to the maximum, but at the same time, they must be ready to move to Hebei at any time. ”

"Second, order the Mongolian army and the 1st Division to take advantage of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin to leave the northwest of Jin and bypass Datong to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin."

"Third, order the garrison troops in Hebei and the locust army in Henan to gather the main force to attack and sweep the base area of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi."

"Order the 23rd Division, the 35th Division, and the 110th Division to be ready to attack Shanxi at any time, open up the channel for Shanxi's locust army to move to Hebei, and receive the transfer of Shanxi's divisions and the First Army into Hebei."

This time, Okamura Ninji also played the art of war with the Eighth Route Army.

Siege Wei to save Zhao.

The Eighth Route Army will go to fight the Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railways, and I will mobilize troops to fight your base areas.

See if the main force of your Eighth Route Army will come back to help?

Okamura Ninji also thought about uniting the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army at the same time.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

But he later gave up, and before the strength of the Eighth Route Army was greatly reduced, these two Chinese armies, I am afraid that they did not have the courage to provoke the Eighth Route Army.

Yousue Seizan took the lead in slapping a sycophant: "Your Excellency the commander is wise, I admire it!" ”

Okamura Ninji was expressionless, but he was very useful in his heart.

His eyes looked at Tanabe Moritake: "Tanabe-kun, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"I have no opinion." Tanabe Moritake bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency the General is wise, I admire it!" ”

Your orders have already been given, what opinion do I dare to have?

Can only shout 666 to you.

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "Your staff department, use these three orders as the general policy, formulate a battle plan as soon as possible, I estimate that the Eighth Route Army's offensive time is in these days." ”

After a pause, Okamura said in a categorical tone: "Even if the new commander of the North China Front Army takes office, it must be carried out in accordance with this battle plan!" ”

"Hey!"

Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Sei looked awe-inspiring, and they all shook their heads.

……

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu listened to the communications staff officer read the contents of the telegram sent by the North China Front Headquarters, and his solemn expression was slightly relaxed.

He also thought that Okamura Ningji would let him stick to Taiyuan.

Okamura Ninji gave him an order to use the terrain and strength to kill and wound as much as possible the living forces of the Eighth Route Army, and then choose an opportunity to move towards North China.

On the North China side, the troops of three divisions will come to meet them.

Other than that.

There are also some Japanese troops who will attack the base of the Eighth Route Army, and use the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao to create pressure on the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency General's tactics of killing and injuring a large number of the living forces of the Eighth Route Army and encircling Wei to save Zhao are a bit powerful!"

Although he was dissatisfied with Okamura Ninji in his heart, Iwamatsu Yoshio also had to admire Okamura Ninji's thinking at the strategic level and his tactical command ability.
