I am a wolf warrior

"Are you going to attack Zhengtai Road? Don't even think about it!"

Hideo Maeda snorted, and said again: "Kimura-kun, immediately report the situation here, as well as your speculation, to the headquarters truthfully, and at the same time request the headquarters to send aviation and the 11th armored train team to support!"

"Hai!" Kimura Yong paused and turned to leave.

Maeda Hideo's eyes returned to the map.

I saw a blue cross on the map.

But the strange thing is that there is no blue arrow in sight.

According to the operation specification, the blue X represents the enemy's offensive.

Therefore, correspondingly, there should be a blue arrow behind each blue cross, and this blue arrow represents the attack direction of the corresponding enemy.

The enemy number should also be marked at the end of this arrow.

There is also a date marked below the blue cross.

Only in this way can it be regarded as a standard and rigorous combat map.

But now there are only more than 100 blue crosses on the map, but there is no blue arrow, so there is no need to mention the enemy number at the end of the arrow.

Seeing this, Maeda Hideo's complexion became a little ugly.

The combat staff officers of the combat class were a little worried.

But in addition to being flustered, I also feel wronged. Can this be blamed on our combat class?

The intelligence section has not been able to provide accurate information until now, and our staff officers in the combat section can pinpoint and calculate, and they can't calculate the deployment and designation of the Eighth Route Army's troops.

……

What Hideo Maeda saw on the map was a large area of ​​blue forks.

What Shinozuka Yoshio saw from the sand table was a small blue flag.

More than [-] small blue flags almost filled the area on both sides of Tongpu Road, Baijin Line and Zhengtai Road.

Takashi Sakamoto, the head of the combat section, said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, as of 120 o'clock in the morning, more than [-] secondary strongholds on both sides of Tongpu Road and the Baijin Line have all been captured."

"Probably more than 30 garrison teams withdrew to the first-level stronghold."

"The remaining 90 garrison teams were all wiped out on the spot by the Eighth Route Army."

"A conservative estimate is that the Eighth Route Army has mobilized at least [-] regiments on the Tongpu Road and Baijin Line battlefields alone. This is an unprecedented attack."

The Shanxi Japanese army suffered a lot this time.

In another time and space, the first phase of the battle lasted for ten days because the attack was launched first and then later!

That is to say, it took ten days for the various units of the Eighth Route Army to clear out the strongholds on the periphery of several main traffic lines and realize the interception of the Japanese army's battlefield information.

But this time and space, due to the influence of Wang Ye,

The Eighth Route Army strengthened its intelligence work and was more fully prepared.

The launch of the battle was scheduled on the same day, and it was more deceptive and sudden, and the Japanese army was even more caught off guard.

The effect was also immediate. All the strongholds on the periphery of several main traffic lines in Shanxi fell overnight, and nearly 1 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated!

The Japanese army in Shanxi was completely stunned.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face sank like water, and he asked, "Where's the other side of Zhengtai Road?"

"There is no news from Zhengtai Road for now..." Before Ryuichi Sakamoto finished speaking, a communication staff officer hurried out of the telecommunications department with a folder in his arms.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

The communications staff officer paused and said, "The 4th Brigade calls urgently!"

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand violently, and said expressionlessly, "Read!"

"Hayi!" The communications officer immediately opened the folder and shouted, "Headquarters: As of [-]:[-] a.m., all [-] secondary strongholds along Zhengtai Road have been captured."

"Except for the sixteen garrison teams withdrawing to the adjacent first-level stronghold,"

"The remaining 93 defensive teams have been collectively broken."

"Also, the Eighth Route Army has implemented battlefield information interception in the area along Zhengtai Road."

"Several reconnaissance units sent by our brigade last night were severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army."

"Therefore, please ask the headquarters to immediately use aerial reconnaissance to carry out aerial reconnaissance of the area along the route, and ask the 11th armored train team to increase the frequency of patrols and strengthen the security along Zhengtai Road."

"The 4th Brigade, May 16, Showa [-]..."

"That's enough." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand impatiently, and the communications staff paused and quickly retreated.

"Battlefield information interception?" Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze fell back to the sand table in front of him, and he said in a deep voice, "I never thought that the Eighth Route Army would have learned battlefield information interception?"

"It should be just a coincidence." Kazuki Yamamoto said.

"The Eighth Route Army has always been good at guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare. They don't even understand the essence of frontal positional warfare. How can they understand information interception on the battlefield? So this must be a coincidence."

"If I'm not wrong, it should be because the Eighth Route Army has too many troops,"

"So that Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and both sides of the Baijin Line are their people."

"Therefore, the imperial army dispatched reconnaissance teams from various strongholds along the route, and encounters occurred without exception."

"However, I dare to assert that this is definitely not intentional by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army has absolutely no awareness of intercepting battlefield information on Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and Baijin Line."

"This is not important anymore."

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Whether the Eighth Route Army has the awareness to implement battlefield information interception or not, they have actually achieved battlefield information interception."

"So far, we don't know the numbers of the units of the Eighth Route Army participating in the battle."

"The Eighth Route Army's specific troop deployment and next-step intentions are even more ignorant."

"Aerial reconnaissance can only carry out aerial reconnaissance during the day, and the effect is extremely limited."

"That is to say, until now, we still haven't figured out what the Eighth Route Army wants to do? Do they just want to remove the outer strongholds? Are there bigger and more ambitious goals?"

Chapter 109 Old Li, are you hiding something from me?

Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "If there is, then what is this goal?"

"Only by clarifying this question can we judge where the main force of the Eighth Route Army will appear?"

"Then the mobile units of the 4th, 8th, and 3rd brigades and the main force of the 9th brigade can launch targeted attacks and deal a fatal blow to the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

Chief of Staff Takashi Tanaka said: "Perhaps the Eighth Route Army does not have a more ambitious goal."

"For a long time, these Tuba roads only dared to harass the ambushes of the imperial army's supply troops, or sneak attack a few small strongholds, and never dared to confront the imperial army head-on."

"This time it's nothing more than the number of small strongholds that were attacked by surprise."

"I don't think it's a big deal because the lost small strongholds can be rebuilt or repaired very quickly."

"If you really want to do this, just bear with it and wait until the Zaoyi battle is over before retaliating." Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly, and then said again, "But I don't think this possibility is very high."

"Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor,"

"Don't talk about comparing with the Central Army of China,"

"It is far inferior to the Jinsui Army."

"But compared with the Central Army and the Jinsui Army, the Eighth Route Army is obviously more aggressive."

"Although the Eighth Route Army seldom attacks frontally, their ambush and sparrow warfare are extremely threatening, and after taking advantage of it, they will not accept it as soon as it is good like the Central Army."

"So, I dare to assert that the Eighth Route Army must have a bigger goal!"

"If I'm not wrong, they will definitely launch an attack on the first-level stronghold next, and try to break through Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road and Baijin Line."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

"The combat department still needs intelligence as a basis when formulating a combat plan."

Ryuichi Sakamoto suddenly said: "Otherwise, order the 3rd and 4th brigades to send a mobile brigade to take the initiative? Draw out the main force of the Eighth Route Army? In this way, the Eighth Route Army's intentions will be exposed."

"Attack?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "In which direction to attack? If the Eighth Route Army avoids the battle, how many kilometers is the limit? Unlimited? Go deep into the hinterland of the bandit area?"

"This..." Ryuichi Sakamoto was at a loss for words.

Which direction to attack is not a problem, the problem is that most of the Eighth Route Army will really avoid fighting.

When the time comes, should we continue to attack or stop?It is dangerous to continue to attack and move forward, and it is a waste of time to stop, so this matter is really tricky.

"So, let's wait, wait another day."

Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice: "If there are no accidents, the Eighth Route Army will reveal their true intentions tonight, and then the Imperial Army will be able to launch a counterattack."

All the staff officers nodded their heads.

……

Baijia Village, 386 Brigade Headquarters.

It was already noon.

The brigade commander and chief of staff were having lunch.

Lunch is baked sweet potatoes and baked potatoes, because it is simple.

The cooking class is simple to make, and they are also simple to eat, they can be eaten after baking.

The two were eating with gusto when the phone that had just been connected to them suddenly rang.

The chief of staff wiped the hem of his clothes twice with his hand, and picked up the phone: "This is the 386th Brigade."

The majestic voice of the boss immediately came from the other end of the phone: "I am the headquarters, how is the situation of your 386 brigade?"

"Oh, boss." The chief of staff quickly smiled and said, "The situation on the 386th brigade has not changed much. The devils and puppet troops are still huddled in several large strongholds and county towns, and dare not come out."

"The devil's reconnaissance plane came twice and dropped a few bombs."

"Six private houses were blown up, more than a dozen villagers were injured, and two people died."

"Okay, continue to be vigilant." The boss hummed and said again, "The main regiments that ordered the frontline to participate in the battle must not rush to concentrate their forces, continue to hide and wait for orders, and don't expose their whereabouts."

"Yes." The chief of staff said loudly, "resolutely obey the orders of the headquarters."

After hanging up the phone, the chief of staff said with a smile: "The boss is still worried about our brigade. He sent three telegrams from this morning to now, but now he is calling again."

"It's not because of Li Yunlong, a troublemaker."

The brigade commander said angrily: "This kid has already registered with the boss."

"Don't tell me." The chief of staff said with a smile, "Li Yunlong is a good fighter in war, and he is unambiguous in causing trouble. Since he got together with Wang Ye, he has become even more powerful."

The brigade commander said: "So I always feel that these two guys are hiding something."

"My God." The chief of staff was taken aback and said, "Brigade Commander, you mean that Li Yunlong and Wang Ye will mess around without telling us and the headquarters?"

The brigade commander shook his head and said, "That shouldn't happen."

The chief of staff said again: "Then what else can be the problem?"

"I can't tell." The brigade commander said, "I just have this worry."

The chief of staff thought for a while and said, "Brigadier, why don't I go to the independent regiment to watch?"

The brigade commander was really moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I promised Li Yunlong at the beginning that I would give him a certain degree of autonomy in action. Besides, the brigade department really cannot do without you."

The chief of staff said no more.

……

Chengjia Town, the temporary headquarters of the Independence Regiment.

The so-called temporary headquarters is actually an abandoned broken kiln.

When Wang Ye first came to Chengjia Town, he and Wei Dayong's war horses were hidden here, but now it has become the headquarters of the Independence Regiment.

Li Yunlong has fallen asleep.

His snoring could be heard across the cave.

But Zhao Gang couldn't fall asleep, and checked the post over and over again.

When I came out to check the post again, I happened to meet Zhu Ziming, the security officer.

Zhu Ziming smiled and said, "Political Commissar, why are you here to investigate again?"
