Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 225: Dog-headed Military Advisor!

After Ushijima Tsunemi and Hirata Kenkichi left.

Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka came in again. Takayoshi Tanaka was responsible for formulating combat plans and catching spies, and was very busy.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Tanaka Ryuji bowed his head and reported:
"Two spies have been found at Taiyuan Station. They are both undercover agents of Yan Xishan. According to their confessions, they have not recently conveyed any information about military trains to Yan Xishan or the Eighth Route Army."

Some of the people at Taiyuan Station were Japanese devils and some were Chinese, so it was normal to have undercover personnel.

"Keep checking."

Kazuki Seiji narrowed his eyes and said, "We must find this spy."

Until this spy was found, Katsuki Seiji did not dare to continue sending the military train carrying military equipment and raw materials to Peiping.

If we get robbed again, the loss will be huge.

"Commander, since we can't find this spy in a short time."

"Then why not set up a game?"

Xiangyue Qingsi's expression changed: "How to set up a trap?"

"this is very simple."

"Based on the recent security incidents on the Zhengtai Railway, the Eighth Route Army generally only ambushes military trains transporting military equipment and raw materials."

"We can send a military train loaded with equipment and raw materials from Taiyuan, have spies pass on the intelligence, and have the Eighth Route Army ambush them."

"Halfway through, we replaced the train with one filled with Locust Army soldiers. When the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush, the Locust Army launched a counter-ambush."

"This will inevitably cause heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army."

Upon hearing this, Kazuki Seiji's eyes lit up slightly. This plan was very feasible.

If he had not sent the 20th Division to sweep the Eighth Route Army's base in Jinzhong, he would have adopted this tactic.

"This battle plan can be considered."

Kazuki Seiji nodded.

"But compared to fighting the Eighth Route Army's counter-ambush, I want to know more about who leaked the locust army's intelligence."

"How on earth did the Eighth Route Army make an entire military train loaded with equipment and raw materials and a kilometer of steel rails disappear out of thin air?"

Seiji Kozuki believes that the "Disappearing Military Train" file can be classified as one of the world's top ten unsolved mysteries.

The more confused he became about this unsolved mystery, the more curious Katsuki Seiji became.

"Commander, if you just want to figure this out, it's not difficult."

After a moment's thought, Tanaka Takayoshi said that he had also been thinking about it day and night, wanting to see where the military train and the railroad tracks had gone, and how the Eighth Route Army had taken them away.

"Tanaka-kun, what can you do?"

Kazuki Seiji asked quickly.

"Commander, this is very simple. We can send a military train loaded with equipment and raw materials from the Zhengtai Railway to Peking, just like the last one."

"In one of the carriages, among the equipment, there was a telegraph operator carrying a radio."

"As long as this radio and the telegraph operator are well hidden from the Eighth Route Army, no matter what means they use to take this train away or where they take it, this telegraph operator will use the radio to report to the headquarters."

Kazuki Seiji said worriedly, "But if this happens, the Locust Army will lose two armored vehicles and a squadron of soldiers."

In order to make the fake play real, two armored vehicles and a squadron of soldiers must be sent to escort the military train, and all of them must be wiped out.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Tanaka Takayoshi said, "In order to find out the methods of the Eighth Route Army and the location of the arsenal, I think it is worth sacrificing a squadron of locust soldiers and two armored vehicles!"

In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army stole military equipment and raw materials mainly for the purpose of developing military industry, and the Eighth Route Army must have had an arsenal.

"Makes sense."

Kazuki Seiji nodded. "After the 20th Division finishes attacking the Eighth Route Army's base in Jinzhong, we'll conduct a test to see if we can figure out the Eighth Route Army's tactics and the location of the arsenal." "Hey." Tanaka Takayoshi suddenly lowered his head. "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."

As the chief of staff of the commander of the First Army, Tanaka Takayoshi fully utilized his expertise as a military strategist.

……

Jinzhong base area.

Xujia Village.

The new regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang with his legs crossed, holding a map in his hand, frowning slightly as he thought about the anti-mopping-up operation plan.

The terrain of the Jinzhong base area is mostly mountainous, except for a few flat areas, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare.

But the prerequisite is that there is no need to relocate the people.

Relocating civilians while fighting guerrilla warfare with the Japanese was obviously not conducive to the three Jinzhong regiments to take advantage of their mobility and firepower.

I wonder how many troops the Japanese have mobilized?
When will the Japs launch their attack?
At this moment, Hu Zi walked in quickly, saluted and reported: "Captain, Boss Lin just sent someone to deliver a piece of intelligence."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's expression changed. "Let me see."

After taking the information from Hu Zi, Li Yunlong began to read it and his expression lit up with joy.

"The 20th Division of the Japanese First Army."

"Time, about half a month later."

The intelligence consisted of only two lines, but it was very timely and crucial.

Although the Japanese did not have a specific mopping-up operation plan.

However, they were not caught off guard by a sudden attack from the Japanese, and the three regiments and the common people in the Jinzhong base were completely unprepared.

The 20th Division, an old rival.

In a frontal combat situation, the three regiments of the Jinzhong base area combined would definitely not be a match for the Japanese 20th Division.

Even though three generals of the 20th Division were killed, it was still a Type A division of the Japanese army and had extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Although with the same number of troops, the firepower of the three regiments in the Jinzhong base area has exceeded that of the Japanese.

But in terms of troop strength, the 20th Division is a 2-system division with a total strength of more than people, and the Japanese have a huge advantage in troop strength.

Moreover, the Japanese also have a field artillery regiment and air support, so the Jinzhong base is not at an advantage no matter how you look at it.

but.

Just taking a beating without fighting back is definitely not Li Yunlong's style.

"If, before the Japanese launched their mopping-up offensive, we evacuated the civilians to the Wutai Mountain area and handed them over to the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."

"The three regiments in our Jinzhong base area can give the Japanese a good fight."

"If we don't fight this battle and hurt the Japanese, the Japanese in the 20th Division might attack the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."

Although the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region had more troops than the Jinzhong base, its weapons and equipment were inferior to those of the Jinzhong Iron Triangle, and it was of little help in the mopping-up operation.

"Just do it."

"First, evacuate all the civilians. Then, gather the three regiments and eliminate one of the enemy lines. Break one point and destabilize the entire line."

Li Yunlong immediately took action and dictated to Zhao Gang to draft a telegram to his superiors, the New Third Regiment, the Independent Regiment, etc.

On the one hand, Li Yunlong reported the situation here to his superiors and requested cooperation from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Southeast Shanxi Base Area.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong ordered the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment to mobilize the people to go to the Wutai Mountain area to fortify the city and clear the fields within 12 days.

Then the three regiments of the Jinzhong base area gathered together, ready to deal a fatal blow to a certain mopping-up force of the Japanese.
