Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1125 The Lieutenant General's Poisonous Plan (First update!)

"Political commissar, you not only underestimated the devil's determination to sweep up this time, but also underestimated the extent of the large-scale drought that broke out in North China this time!" Wang Ping said with a serious face.

"I know, in your eyes, this drought will last at most one year, and it will get better next year... But, I want to tell you, this drought will last at least three years!"

Regardless of the shocked expression on Huang Yuanqiang's face, and without explaining to them, he continued to ask.

"Political commissar, how did the people in the base area get the little grain they harvested this autumn!"

"If the family has five acres of land, two acres of land will be guaranteed to death, and the land will be irrigated by carrying water from the river on shoulders, and then a part of the ration field will be kept!"

"If there is a canal connecting the river to our fertile fields, when the land needs water to irrigate the land, we can directly draw water with a water truck, pump the water from the river to the canal, and flow it to the field through the canal, how many grain fields can be guaranteed!"

"There are canals, and there are water trucks to draw water from the river..." Huang Yuanqiang frowned and fell into thought.

Soon, a pair of eyes became wild: "If this is the case, as long as it is not a slope, the land should be able to be preserved~"

"Even if it is a sloping land, because the distance to irrigate the land is shortened, most of the land can be kept!"

Speaking of this, Huang Yuanqiang suddenly came to his senses, staring at Wang Ping and replied: "I will give an order now, and all the people within a depth of [-] kilometers will move to the back!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, Lieutenant General Ito was in a good mood at first.

The attacking troops were successful. On the first day, they killed three infantry companies of the Xinyi Regiment and severely damaged one company, which was equivalent to eating a battalion of the Xinyi Regiment.

But after only two days, this good mood disappeared.

"Division commander, the frontline troops report: the villages and towns they occupied are still empty, except for empty houses, not even a single livestock, let alone the Eighth Route Army!" The chief of staff rushed to Lieutenant General Ito and reported.

After taking out another telegram, he continued to report: "The intelligence department reported that the Eighth Route Army is transferring the people within a depth of [-] kilometers in front of us, all of them to their so-called rear area!"

"Xiaozhi has an idea. Since the [-] kilometers ahead has been cleared by the Eighth Route Army, should we directly occupy this area!"

Lieutenant General Ito was moved, but after thinking for a few minutes, he still shook his head and refused.

"No, the sweeping plan remains unchanged!"

"This Wang Ping is too cunning. Maybe this large-scale transfer is a trap set by the Eighth Route Army, a trap to lead us into it!"

"Don't worry about them. The brigades will continue to advance steadily and steadily according to the original battle plan. When occupying a place, they will control a place by building bunkers and artillery towers. We cannot give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage of it!"

The chief of staff couldn't help complaining: "However, it's too slow to advance five kilometers in one day and occupy more than ten villages and towns!"

"No slow~" Lieutenant General Ito replied.

"The Xinyi Regiment's base area is less than [-] kilometers deep. According to this attack speed, we can sweep their base area within a month and a half!"

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, just now I have been thinking about how we can force the Eighth Route Army to come out and fight us after the Eighth Route Army has solidified the walls and cleared the field in our offensive area. Another thing?"

"Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people are transferred to their so-called rear area together, which is equivalent to the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army suddenly having hundreds of thousands more mouths to eat!"

"According to the ration of half a catty of grain per person per day, more than 20 catties of grain will be consumed in a day, more than 200 million catties in ten days, and seven to eight million catties in a month. Does our opponent have so much grain to consume?"

"No!" The chief of staff replied very positively!

"There was a severe drought in North China this year, and many places had no harvests. The little grain harvested by ordinary people could not even feed themselves, let alone feed the Eighth Route Army with the extra grain!"

"The Eighth Route Army doesn't even have food to feed itself, so how could it be possible to feed hundreds of thousands of people with seven to eight million catties of grain!"

"That's right!" Lieutenant General Ito's frowned brows relaxed at once.

"In this case, not only can we attack the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment's base area not fast, but the slower the better!"

"At that time, maybe we don't need to fight them decisively, and the food shortage will wear them down. All we need to do is to rush forward and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"The commander of the division is wise!" The chief of staff also showed a smile on his frowning face.

Immediately replied: "I will give orders to the front-line attacking troops now, let them fight steadily, and not expose any loopholes to the Eighth Route Army..."

At the former enemy headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment, several battalion commanders' telegrams calling for battle were sent to Wang Ping one after another like snowflakes.

However, Wang Ping did not give an order to counterattack from the beginning to the end, but just blindly let the troops retreat.

Ever since Wang Ping came to the Xinyi Regiment, the Xinyi Regiment had never fought such an aggrieved battle.

Several battalion commanders of the main battalion were full of anger, wishing they could rush up now and fight the devils to the death!
"Regimental Commander, according to the reports from the battalions, the devils are still using a steady and gradual approach to nibble away at our base areas bit by bit, and every time they occupy a village or town, they leave a lot of Japanese and puppet troops for garrison defense, and they hardly give us any counterattacks against them. opportunity..." Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong reported frowning.

Then he pointed to the map and introduced: "From the beginning of the attack to the present, the ten infantry brigades and five puppet regiments of the front-line offensive troops of the Japanese and puppet troops have penetrated more than 20 kilometers into our base area."

"In addition, there are two mixed-organized and strengthened Japanese troops following closely behind, and they should be acting as mobile troops!"

Wang Ping nodded but did not answer. He hesitated for a while and asked the political commissar beside him, "Old Huang, have the hundreds of thousands of people transferred from the front line been arranged?"

"All the food has been distributed to the villages and towns, and all the food has been arranged. In a few days, I will arrange for them to build water conservancy projects." Huang Yuanqiang gave Wang Ping an affirmative answer.

Wang Ping's last worry was gone, and he made a decision immediately!
"Since everything is ready, let's fight once!"

"Aren't the battalion commanders below all struggling to fight, wanting to fight the ghosts? Then let's fight once, and see if the water the devils are sweeping this time is deep or submerged!"

"Pass my order, the five independent battalions are free to choose an attack target tonight and launch an attack on their own initiative!"

"Five new main battalions are used as reinforcements, and five main battalions are used as reserve teams."

"The attack is commanded by the five main battalion commanders respectively. No one can give me any trouble, otherwise, the military law will do it!"

After the murderous order was issued, Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to the Chief of Security!

"Director Wei, the people in the fighting area have all evacuated now. The troops will make a big move tonight. There must be internal ghosts and Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel who can't bear it. So, tonight is also a good opportunity for you to show your skills!"
