Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 423
As an actual combat unit, Okazaki's military quality is naturally not bad.

After looking at the map carefully, he could naturally analyze Shinozuka's combat intentions.

Or "Cage Project"!
It's just that the current "cage plan" has begun to take shape, and the pressing rhythm has pushed the Eighth Route Army in western Shanxi to a dead end.

The reason why the Eighth Route Army has not collapsed until now is because the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army can always predict the enemy's strategic deployment and take the lead every step of the way.

"General Shinozuka's deployment is very careful. With such a cage, the Eighth Route Army may not be able to fly!" Okazaki first said a flattering word after looking at the map.

Shinozuka shook his head, "I didn't transfer you here to listen to your flattery, I'd better just say no, I believe Okazaki-kun will definitely see some omissions in my deployment."

Okazaki stole a glance at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto returned a veiled look, meaning, just say it directly.

With Yamamoto's eyes, Okazaki lowered his voice, "General Shinozuka, then I will make a fool of myself."

Shinozuka stretched out his hand, signaling, please!

Then Okazaki was not polite, but picked up the preaching stick, and ordered several important deployments of the Eighth Route Army.

"According to my many years of combat experience with the Eighth Route Army, the deployment of troops here, here, and here are all fake. They are probably disguised by guerrillas and mountain people. Their purpose is to hold back our X Division and make it Don't act rashly!"

"Papapapa~" Yamamoto slapped his hands and said approvingly, "Okazaki-kun's analysis is correct. The three places you mentioned are only three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and they are not full. The strength is about 3500 people, but the other armed forces are Between seven thousand and ten thousand people."

Okazaki looked at Yamamoto and frowned, "So many, I mean irregular armed forces!"

"Yeah!" Yamamoto nodded, "The Eighth Route Army is developing its armed forces very fast. They are like rats in the water channel. As long as one is not paying attention, there will be a nest after another, and it will be flooded in a blink of an eye!"

"But...they are developing so fast, can the logistics keep up?" Okazaki stared at Yamamoto and asked his doubts.

"Logistics? What is the later stage of the Eighth Route Army? They just depend on the mountains for food." Although Yamamoto looked disdainful on the surface, he still admired the logistics capabilities of the Eighth Route Army. After all, the productivity of combat troops is usually low.

"What about the weapons? These 1 people can't just use knives and forks to fight the locust army?" Okazaki continued to ask.

"Basically, these non-main forces have very few weapons, even knives and forks. The biggest role of these non-main forces is to confuse the main force and hold back the main force of the locust army." Masashi Yamamoto said.

The lecture stick in his hand shook a few times, and Okazaki continued to point out several weak links in Shinozuka's arrangement.

After saying this, Okazaki looked at Yamamoto, then secretly glanced at Shinozuka, and said slowly, "There is no problem with General Shinozuka's deployment, it's just that the front line is too long, especially the front line. Okazaki pointed at it with his speaking stick as he said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for these troops to supply?"

Having said this, Shinozuka sighed helplessly!

They fought non-locally, and the logistical pressure was inherently high.

Even relying on looting to supplement is a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve many substantive problems.

Except for Type A troops whose supplies can barely keep up, the other troops can hardly even maintain food and clothing.

Faced with such a situation, he could only maintain the status quo as much as possible, and then wait for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity that can severely damage the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

Okazaki's analysis just now was very good, and Shinozuka was very satisfied, so he looked at him expectantly and asked, "Then Okazaki-kun has any solution? I heard Yamamoto-kun said that you are in the Army Academy Back then, he was a top-ranked student in the land warfare theory class."

"This..." Okazaki was at a loss for words, and asked him to talk about the problems in Shinozuka's deployment, and he could tell.

However, when it comes to solving problems, he really can't do it, because there are only so many chess pieces available.

If you really want to move, you have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, press the gourd and pick up the ladle!

Okazaki's performance made Shinozuka a little disappointed, because he couldn't come up with a good plan.

He shook his head helplessly again.

Seeing the embarrassed Okazaki, Yamamoto immediately stepped up to make a rescue, "Faced with such a situation, we must draw the bottom line!"

"Taking the bottom of the pot?" After listening to Yamamoto's words, Okazaki seems to have grasped something, but he is not the commander of this theater, and he doesn't know much about the battle situation, but he knows that since Yamamoto said it, then he must have already had it in his heart. He came up with a mature plan, so he bowed his head, "I also ask Yamamoto-kun to enlighten me!"

Yamamoto didn't talk nonsense, took the stick directly from Okazaki's hand, and clicked on several red crosses on the map.

Seeing Yamamoto's actions, Yamazaki immediately understood, "What does Mr. Yamamoto mean for us to detour to the rear of the Eighth Route Army and attack their hospital?"

"Yes! The attack on the hospital is just to beat the rabbits. Our real target is their arsenal." Yamamoto turned around and said seriously.

After listening to Yamamoto's words, Okazaki immediately said excitedly: "Could it be that Mr. Yamamoto has found the location of their arsenal? Regarding the Eighth Route Army's large-scale arsenal, the staff department is only guessing, and has never found the specific location."

Yamamoto smiled, "I don't know the exact location, but the general location can be guessed in this area!" Then, he drew a big ellipse on the map.

Seeing the big circle drawn by Yamamoto, Okazaki's heart trembled, and he thought, Yamamoto-kun, do you know how big a circle can be if you just draw it?
This is not the mainland of Japan, but the hinterland of China. How many troops are needed to investigate such a large area?
"What? Okazaki-kun, do you think this area is too big? Is it difficult to investigate?" Yamamoto put down the stick in his hand and asked.

"This." Okazaki thought for a while, and said a conservative figure: "I'm afraid this can't be done without the strength of a division." Okazaki expressed his thoughts.

"One division? Do you want to fight a battle?" Yamamoto said with a smile, "There are only two brigades at most!"

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. This area is the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army. If one is not careful, it will be surrounded and wiped out."

"Siege?" Yamamoto smiled, "Okazaki-kun, you think too much of the Eighth Route Army, don't you remember what I said just now? The Eighth Route Army doesn't have that many main forces, and they want to encircle and annihilate a brigade in mobile warfare hahaha, I'm afraid they I really can’t draw that many troops.”

Yamamoto's words made Okazaki instantly understand his intentions!
