Chapter 387: Breakthrough (4)
What does sabotage with small forces mean? Umezu Mijiro knew it very well.
If the garrison is strong, I will not move if you make a move, but the reason why the garrisons in various places do not dare to make much movement is that it is not known how many troops have infiltrated these places.
It may be that it is just these small forces, or it is possible that these small forces are just a faΓ§ade on the surface, and there is an unknown purpose hidden in them.
Whatever it may be, it's a nuisance, and when a stone is dropped on the calm lake, it will cause ripples, but who can be sure that this rippling ripple will form a storm and eventually turn the world upside down.
Umezu Mijiro knew very well in his heart that under the strong suppression of the Kwantung Army, the Chinese people could only swallow their anger.
Don't they dare to resist? No, they dare, but they need a leader or organization.
In the past, when the Anti-Japanese Federation was not suppressed, it was like a rainbow, and the imperial troops did not know how much effort it took to suppress it.
Therefore, we must not let the Chinese people see hope, otherwise the crowd will be surging, and the good wind will rely on its strength, and a monstrous storm will follow.
What Umezu Mijiro wanted was to cut off the source, and this source was the Eighth Route Army that marched into the northeast, and of course, now counting the anti-coalition forces that converged with them.
One victory after another, of course, this is according to the Eighth Route Army, and now the people in the Northeast are paying attention, and the time is not yet ripe, but the hearts of the people in the Northeast have always been on the side of the Eighth Route Army.
As long as there is another decisive victory, or if they see hope, this Eighth Route Army will undoubtedly be the source of the storm.
Therefore, we must not allow these small units to sabotage everywhere, let alone give them a chance to penetrate into the hearts of the people, and we must cut off their ties with the Chinese people.
Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro showed a cold expression, he knew that the truth was the truth, but he also knew that the appearance of these small units of the Eighth Route Army was used to involve his troops.
"Do you think this will make me anxious to bring my troops back? If I hadn't known that Li Ping was still in my encirclement, I'm afraid I would have really done this. β
Umezu Mijiro muttered to himself, the mockery that flashed in his eyes made the chief of staff next to him frown.
"Chief of Staff, continue to encircle and suppress, give orders to the garrisons in various places, and bear with them for the time being, these small units of the Eighth Route Army will not be able to make any waves in a short period of time."
"When Li Ping is killed, we will completely eliminate them in the Hui Army."
The chief of staff of the devil was a little sluggish when he heard this, and he didn't know why the commander who was angry just now suddenly became so calm, looking like he was holding a pearl of wisdom.
However, he didn't want to delve into it, as the best commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro's current performance is the biggest good thing, which is a sign of self-confidence.
"Commander, I'm going to send a telegram."
Umezu Mijiro has made a decision here, he will not call back his troops, and seeing that it is still the same as before, the situation does not seem to have changed, and the political commissar is gritting his teeth.
"Zhen Nima can bear it, what is it that attracts you so much, Umezu Mijiro, he actually let you bite it and not let go, and you don't even care about the chaos in the rear."
After the political commissar finished speaking, he lit a cigarette, he really couldn't understand that the small troops he sent must have already moved, and according to the most basic reaction, Umezu Mijiro must withdraw his troops to ensure that there are no problems in his rear.
But now, the situation has not changed according to his own ideas, which makes people very melancholy.
I really couldn't figure it out, the political commissar stood up and said: "Send a telegram and report the situation to the detachment leader, Lao Tzu is confused." β
After the political commissar finished speaking, he immediately continued to deal with the matter of taking over Pingdingyang and them.
On Baiyunfeng Mountain, Li Ping put down the telegram in his hand, the political commissar was confused, and Li Ping himself was confused.
In this case, at first glance, Umezu Mijiro is staring at this side, and he doesn't want to give up at all, and the reason is not clear at all.
"Detachment leader, the number of devils who have come up to inquire has increased in the past few days, and we may not stay here for long."
Xiong Cheng walked over, still with Liu Dadao, and just dealt with a group of inquiring devils, and similarly, Xiong Cheng also saw the danger.
Li Ping nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "It is beyond our estimate to be able to hide until now." β
"Xiong Cheng, let the soldiers be on guard, once Lao Ping and they break through successfully, it will be our next turn."
"Yes, detachment leader."
The sunset and sunset are infinitely good, and at this time, the devils who are pursuing the troops of Pingdingyang are searching all over the sky.
"Captain, find the trace."
Hearing this, the captain of the devil team jumped up directly, stared at the reconnaissance soldier, and said coldly: "Chase"
A brigade of devils regardless of fatigue, followed the reconnaissance unit forward, the more they walked, the darker it became, and the captain did not stop, as long as he found this Eighth Route Army chariot unit, it would be a great achievement.
When the chariot roared out, the two troops were trying to collide head-on.
"Captain, find the devil chasing troops."
Hearing this, Ping Dingyang was murderous, and said: "Rush over, you must arrive at the original location according to the plan." β
The captain of the devil brigade really wants to stop the Eighth Route Army and settle here, but the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who have been fighting for so long, have slowly integrated the cooperation of combat vehicles and infantry and began to play the essence, which undoubtedly makes the devil desperate.
"Send a telegram that our department has confirmed the location of the battlefield troops of the Eighth Route Army, and requests all troops to surround this area."
"Order the troops, catch up, and not let the Eighth Route Army disappear under our noses again."
Some troops found the chariot unit of the Eighth Route Army, and this news made the searching devils ecstatic and marched to the target area one after another.
And Pingdingyang didn't care about it, and left with the troops.
At night, Commander Yang walked back and forth in the front-line headquarters, constantly looking at the time on the watch on his wrist.
The troops were also ready, and they could launch an attack with only one order from Commander Yang.
At this time, the political commissar is also deploying an operation against Kono, and everything is waiting for the time to come.
While the political commissar was preparing on this side, on the other side, Shibata received a report from the pursuing troops that the chariot troops of the Eighth Route Army were coming to kill him in the defense area.
"How could it be so fast, so many troops surrounded and intercepted, and actually let the Eighth Route Army run back."
Shibata felt the desire to vomit blood, and the chief of staff next to him twitched, and the two glanced at each other, both seeing schadenfreude in each other's eyes.
In the past, he and others were defeated again and again, and the other troops all looked ridiculous and dismissive.
Well, now that you have this battle, let's see who is still laughing at whom.
Schadenfreude is schadenfreude, but combat is still necessary, as long as it blocks the retreat path of the chariot units of the Eighth Route Army, it is equivalent to slapping them in the face.
"Chief of Staff, transfer troops, this battle is the moment to make a name for the prestige of my Shibata Division, and I will start to get back what I lost."
