EBE Chapter 149 Yamamoto? Immortal?
Chapter 149 Yamamoto? Immortal?
Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Shintaro nodded solemnly.
"Yes!"
...
The news spread quickly.
The Eighth Route Army's actions were quickly reported to Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka in Longcheng. Looking at the contents of the telegram, Yoshio Yuzuka's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Damn it, what on earth do these Eighth Route Army soldiers want to do!"
It is not easy to eliminate so many strongholds in such a short period of time. Such a large-scale military operation is not easy.
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka frowned slightly, walked quickly to the military map, looked at the map, and quickly marked several strongholds where the battle had just taken place, only to find that
All the strongholds within a radius of fifty kilometers were swept away by the Eighth Route Army!
"Could these Eighth Route Army be..." Looking at the area covered by these strongholds, a bold guess quickly emerged in Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka's eyes.
He picked up a military flag and stuck it hard into the sand table.
"Could it be that the battlefield tour group was discovered by the Eighth Route Army? If so, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are likely going after the tour group!"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka's face became even uglier. The timing was too coincidental. Was it really such a coincidence?
But soon,
Lieutenant General Yoshio Ozuka rejected this idea again.
The battlefield tour group is going to Ninghai County. This is top secret. Except for the members of the tour group, ordinary people do not know this news.
If these Eighth Route Army soldiers were really going for the visiting group, there would be no need to make such a big fuss and create such a big noise at such a suspicious time. Wouldn't that alert the enemy?
Yoshio Yuzuka frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong.
He has been dealing with these cunning Eighth Route Army soldiers for such a long time. If the whereabouts of the visiting group were really leaked, these Eighth Route Army soldiers should not have made such a big move!
not to mention,
Although there are many officers in the observation group, not many of them have important identities. Would these Eighth Route Army soldiers really take such a big risk and use their main force to attack Ninghai County?
Think carefully,
Yoshio Yuzuka felt more and more that he might be worrying too much. A night combat infantry battalion was responsible for the escort, and the 36th Division was also stationed not far away.
Besides,
The total number of Japanese invaders and puppet troops stationed there exceeded 3,000. If the main force of the Eighth Route Army wanted to take action, it would be an extremely stupid act.
"Nojijun, what do you think is the purpose of these sudden big moves by the Eighth Route Army?" Yuzuka Yoshio couldn't figure it out, so he looked at the chief of staff next to him and asked.
The chief of staff paced back and forth in front of the map and made a bold guess.
"These Eighth Route Army soldiers are making such a big fuss, I'm afraid they are trying to confuse the public and prepare for a surprise attack!"
"Such a large-scale sweep of the strongholds is probably to cover up their marching intentions and make us lose our direction. Such a big move is likely to be disadvantageous to us." At this point, a trace of worry flashed in Chief of Staff Noji's eyes.
This news came too suddenly.
In addition, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had not made any major moves for a long time, so he was a little confused by such a large-scale commotion this time.
After hearing the Chief of Staff's answer,
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka frowned. These Eighth Route Army soldiers were too cunning. Carrying out such a large-scale military operation at such a suspicious time did disrupt their deployment.
In a short time,
I'm afraid we really can't determine the intentions of these Eighth Route Army troops. All their strongholds have been cleared, and now even their specific locations cannot be determined.
The more Yoshio Yuzuka thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He quickly said to Chief of Staff Noyoshi, "This is not a simple matter. Send a telegram to Colonel Yamamoto Ikki immediately to tell him about the current situation and ask him to pay more attention!"
When the chief of staff heard this, he immediately nodded seriously.
"Yes!"
at the same time,
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki received a telegram from Yoshio Uzuka. After reading the contents of the telegram, he frowned.
"Oh, what on earth do these Eighth Route Army soldiers want to do!"
After reading the telegram, Colonel Yamamoto Ikki immediately walked to the map and circled all the strongholds that had been raided.
quickly,
They discovered that the cleared strongholds covered an area as wide as fifty kilometers.
then,
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki quickly connected these strongholds on the map, and only after confirming that they were far apart from each other did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's really strange, but it seems that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is not coming for the battlefield observation group, let alone for me!"
Not to mention the number of strongholds along the way, the number of people in the two division-level troops stationed there alone exceeds 10,000.
Even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army is deployed, they have to consider whether they can break through this line of defense, right?
Besides,
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki felt that even though the Eighth Route Army regarded him as a thorn in their side, they would never do such a stupid thing. How could they lead a large army on a long journey and make such a big fuss just to eliminate him?
"Notify immediately and ask Major General Hattori Naoomi of the battlefield observation group to be careful and keep an eye on the movements of the Eighth Route Army!" In order to prevent any possible disaster, Yamamoto Ikki instructed his men to send a telegram to the battlefield observation group.
"Yes!" The chief of staff took the order and withdrew, then sent the telegram out.
……
At the same moment,
The puppet troops who were gathering forces to prepare for support chose to give up without exception when they learned that all their strongholds had been eliminated.
The Eighth Route Army's mopping-up operation made the puppet troops stationed in the strongholds panic-stricken, fearing that the main force of the Eighth Route Army would attack them.
therefore,
After learning the news, all the puppet army strongholds hid in their strongholds and did not dare to go out to investigate. This formed a vicious cycle.
Since I had no idea about the outside world,
It was impossible to detect the marching route of the main force of the Guard Regiment. At this time, everyone was busy protecting themselves, so how could they care about so many things?
Although they obeyed the orders of the devils, those puppet soldiers who had become traitors were all afraid of death. When they heard that the Eighth Route Army had used iron-fisted means to wipe out more than a dozen strongholds in one go, they were afraid that they would be the next one.
It's too late to be afraid at this point, so how can you dare to take the initiative to cause trouble?
The quietness of the puppet army stronghold not only saved their lives, but also made the guard regiment's operations smoother. They originally planned to arrive around 10 o'clock in the evening, but this time they arrived at the destination an hour earlier due to the smooth journey.
Nine p.m,
Arrived outside the county town on time.
along the way,
The more Brigade Commander Chen looked, the more surprised he was. It was not a big deal at first, but he saw that the old leaders were so tired from riding horses, with sore backs and waists.
But he saw that the soldiers of the guard regiment were moving very fast, and there was no sign that they were a newly expanded team.
You said, this is a newly expanded team?
"Old leader, please stop staring at me like that. You've looked at me so many times along the way. Just ask if you have anything you want to ask!" Qin Hai was quite helpless when he saw Brigade Commander Chen looking at him from time to time.
Hearing this,
Brigadier General Chen's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he still said, "Are you kid serious or not? Did you train the expanded force of the guard regiment in just two months?"
