Chapter 1172: A Difficult Decision

The underground fortifications built by the Japanese army in the northeast are at the junction of Soviet Russia and China! In addition to guarding against Soviet Russia at that time, the underground fortifications were also arranged for the Japanese army to resist the Chinese army.

The little devils are not impregnably well defended against their underground fortifications, although there are not many fortifications on the ground! However, the Japanese army arranged heavy guards on all exit routes, and even ordinary people could not get close!

Since Commander-in-Chief Zhu came to Northeast China, all the work of figuring out the internal structure of the Japanese army's underground fortifications has been entrusted to Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

However, for several days, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and his attempts to find several methods have no effect! The Japanese army was very strict, and the materials in the underground fortifications were delivered by their own people, without a single Chinese.

Moreover, the villages near the underground fortifications were slaughtered by the little devils, and they became veritable ghost villages! Someone had sneaked into these villages, and the unburned corpses could still be seen.

And the underground fortifications must be personally entered to take a look, to know what the specific situation is inside, just by groping outside, even if you know what is going on under your feet, it is difficult to find out what the underground fortifications with hundreds of thousands of soldiers are like.

"The vents and entrances and exits are easy, unless the Japanese army itself can't get in at all!" The soldier in charge of the reconnaissance came back and reported to Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

"Even if it's a vent, the design inside is quite responsible, and you can't open the vent with ordinary methods, unless you use *, as long as the explosion sounds, it will definitely alarm the Japanese soldiers inside!"

Commander-in-Chief Zhu sent people to reconnoiter all possible passages for the Japanese army's underground fortifications, and as long as one person was allowed to enter, he would not let go!

"Has the sewage outlet been checked?"

Hundreds of thousands of troops in addition to eating, drinking, and pulling, they can't keep hoarding excrement in the fortifications, and over time, those smells can smoke hundreds of thousands of troops to death.

"No sewage outlet found! We got close to everything we could, but we didn't find anything! ”

A large underground fortification is likely to be discharged inside, and it will be enough for them not to clean it for a long time, as long as they send people out on a regular basis!

Then there is only one road left in Huashan, go to the main gate! And it must be open to the front door and enter!

Commander-in-Chief Zhu is still considering using their elite personnel to enter the Japanese army's underground fortifications through the main entrance, but this person must be able to understand Japanese and be familiar with the Japanese army, and the most important thing is to get a pass! And to arrange, you have to arrange a group of people to go in.

If only one person is arranged to go in, and the situation inside is clear, it is estimated that it will be the Year of the Monkey!

So the job is almost impossible to accomplish!

However, there are always more ways than difficulties, and the little devil is not monolithic! The Japanese army has more than 3 million troops in the northeast, and with the continuous attrition of the war, the strength of the Japanese army is getting smaller and smaller, and those who have fled back from the front line are becoming more and more chaotic!

Soldiers from other units were constantly being incorporated into other units after fleeing from the front, and some of them had been wiped out by the Chinese army, and even the Japanese had no way of examining the identity of the soldiers.

And there is a large gap in the strength of the Japanese army, as long as it can be used by people, it is in line with the current idea of the little devil! Therefore, whether they are old, young, disabled or healthy, they are all integrated into the army.

There are soldiers on the front line who are constantly defeated and retreating, and the little devils have also reached a tacit understanding in their hearts, as long as they still have combat ability, they don't need to talk nonsense, just go to the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that many intelligence officers of the Chinese army were mixed in, but the Japanese did not plan to arrange these stragglers who had returned from the rout to the northernmost underground fortifications.

But this time it was different, after the disappearance of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, the chief of staff of the Japanese army had already decided to put his last place in the underground fortifications! So he had to gather some troops and take them to the underground fortifications together.

Although he does not secretly cultivate a group of his own cronies in the army like their commanders, as the chief of the general staff, if he wants to mobilize some troops, naturally no one will suspect or hold him accountable.

Moreover, in the whole northeast, since the disappearance of his Japanese commander, he is the supreme commander of the entire Japanese army, and he has the right to mobilize all troops.

He had one purpose, and the troops on the front line could not be mobilized, for the simple reason that the troops on the front line could buy him enough time to prepare, and let him take all the valuable things with him in this enough time.

In war, the most valuable thing is people! What kind of battle do you have no troops in your hands? So the chief of staff of the Japanese army decided to take as many people as possible!

However, the news that the chief of staff of the Japanese army was going to withdraw happened to be detected by Hu Guoshan, and they also got the news that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army had disappeared.

"No wonder the little devil didn't attack Huinan, so that's the case!"

Hu Guoshan suddenly realized that the Japanese army had been fighting bloody battles in Tonghua for so long! Until Ma Wanzhong's troops took control of the Huinan area, the Japanese army behaved very calmly.

It turned out that it was the disappearance of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army that caused the Japanese army to abandon Tonghua!

But...... Where did the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army go? Why did he suddenly disappear, and where was the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army going to evacuate?

A series of questions began to plague Hu Guoshan, making him unable to think!

"Commander-in-Chief Hu, I need your help!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu walked into Hu Guoshan's office.

"Come, sit down!"

Hu Guoshan rubbed his aching brain and beckoned Commander-in-Chief Zhu to sit down. After Commander-in-Chief Zhu came to him, he was obsessed with his work and could not extricate himself, and rarely came to Hu Guoshan's headquarters.

"I heard that the Japanese army is leaving?"

"Yes, there is such a statement, but it is not certain, the source of the information is not accurate, and until now, the Japanese troops on the front line have not shown the slightest sign of retreat!"

In fact, of course, Hu Guoshan knew that the Japanese army was going to retreat, but it was not the large army of the Japanese army that retreated, but the headquarters of the Japanese army, more precisely, the Japanese army wanted to escape!

"I need a group of Japanese soldiers to escape back!"

Regardless of whether the Japanese army really wants to run away or not, Commander-in-Chief Zhu needs a group of Japanese troops to escape back!

"Why?"

Hu Guoshan wondered, they would rather treat the little devil to pieces, and they would never let go of one! Now how could Commander-in-Chief Zhu let them deliberately let go of a group of Japanese troops?

"I just want to find out the complete deployment of the Japanese underground fortifications......"

Commander-in-Chief Zhu told Hu Guoshan about his plan.

"This plan seems to be a bit risky!"

"It's safer than us taking the risk of storming the Japanese underground fortifications!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu has already made up his mind.

"Did you choose the right guy?"

"The personnel want you to come out, anyway, the staff around me are not all your subordinates!"

"And how many people do we need?"

"There can be no less than a hundred, and if there is a loss, no less than two hundred!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu has already estimated.

Once inside the underground fortifications, the soldiers had to take a very big risk! Once discovered, there is only one dead end, and if you want to send the complete information, someone must take over the dead person to continue the work.

"This plan is really a bit cruel, it can be said to send our soldiers to their deaths!"

"If we succeed, at least tens of thousands of fighters will not be sacrificed!"

Sacrifice small portions, reduce their losses, and live for more people!

Commander-in-Chief Zhu's choice has to be said to be the best choice as a commander, and the sacrifice of one or two hundred people is not a great loss for a unit, but human life is human life after all, and they are not a hundred ants.

"200 people who can speak Japanese, these people are all intellectuals in our army!"

Hu Guoshan still couldn't bear to send these 200 soldiers who were proficient in Japanese out like this!

"Not only do they have to be proficient in Japanese, but they also need two days of intensive training, so that they are familiar with some Japanese common sense, as well as the unique contact code between them, in order to prevent accidents, a group of three or five people, each group must have a different code!"

They must be cautious to prevent the soldiers from being tortured by the Japanese army after they are captured! Once someone can't help it, tell the little devil the contact information, all the plans will be in vain, and the people they send will not survive.

"Let me think, let me think ......"

Hu Guoshan knew that they were going to send the soldiers over and let the little devils kill! Before this time, it is the time when the commander has the most difficult choice.

"I need Commander Hu's reply by tomorrow morning at the latest, and if it is possible, delay the battle for three to four more days!"

Commander-in-Chief Zhu also knows the difficulties of being a commander, so he will not force Hu Guoshan to make a decision, what Hu Guoshan needs most at this time is to be calm.

"Suspend the offensive of the troops on the front line of Tonghua! First clear the reinforcements of the Japanese army on the periphery of Tonghua, and leave no one behind! ”

Hu Guoshan ordered!

The Japanese army in Tonghua is no longer in trouble, the Japanese army is no longer supporting, and it is only a matter of time before Tonghua is taken!

And once the battle of Tonghua is over, Hu Guoshan will have enough troops to divide the Japanese army, that is to say, the battle of Tonghua ended the situation of the Japanese army supporting each other in the northeast.

Although the battle situation is alive, the Japanese army still has a lot of troops in some areas! This means that there will still be many casualties on the battlefield.

Among them, the South Manchurian region was divided and belonged to the second largest military region of the Japanese army! Within the confines of this military zone, the Japanese army still has nearly a million troops!

Fortunately, these troops are leaderless and lack unified deployment, which is the best news for Hu Guoshan and all the soldiers.

Good news is good news, the Japanese army on the ground is easy to solve, but the Japanese army hiding in the turtle shell is not easy to solve! Hu Guoshan's biggest headache is this matter, if it is not handled well, his million-strong army will not necessarily make progress in a year's time.

Now Commander-in-Chief Zhu has given him a way that is not a way, let him make a decision, he must make a choice, because the opportunity is in these few days!
