Shunroku Hata smoked a cigarette imported from Japan and walked around the room anxiously. From time to time, he stopped and looked out of the house, as if he was waiting for someone.

The smell of smoke filled the room, and the huge ashtray on the desk had long been stuffed with white cigarette butts, but now there was an unburned companion.

"Isn't there any news from the PLA yet?" Shunroku Hata suddenly stopped, frowned and asked a group of staff officers standing in the room.

The poor staff officers had long been choked by the thick smell of smoke in the room, and they had been holding their breath and insisting on staying here. They wanted to leave, but they didn't get Shunroku Hatata's order, and they didn't dare to leave the room even if they were killed.

Hearing this, one of the staff officers, who was always paying attention to the movements of the PLA, immediately walked out, and coughed before he could speak, looking at his expression, it seemed that his lungs were about to cough out.

After a long while, the staff officer wiped the saliva from his mouth and hurriedly said: "The People's Liberation Army in the Pingdingshan area is digging trenches on a large scale and rebuilding the positions in that area. Their positions are stronger than they were before our attack, and there are three times as many pillboxes alone! ”

Shunroku Hata nodded, he had to hear this information no less than three times a day for the past three days, and there was no novelty for a long time.

After sitting back at his desk, he unconsciously lit another cigarette for himself. Whenever he has something on his mind, he always lets a cigarette sober himself up. However, in the past three days, he has smoked a lot, but he has never completely sobered up.

"What the hell is Gao Dong doing? Isn't he supposed to advance and retreat, and attack as defense? Why not attack now? The continuous excavation of the fortifications, do you really want to spend it with me in the Pingdingshan area? ”

Shunroku Hata thought about it, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Quite simply, he believes that Gao Dong, who can repeatedly defeat the Japanese army, is definitely not a simple-minded person. A fool can also see that using 100,000 people to stick to an area and resist the attack of a million troops is purely looking for death.

As long as a million armies encircle this place, or ignore this place at all, and make a detour to attack elsewhere. All of Gao Dong's scheming was in vain!

Thinking of this, Shunroku Hata couldn't help but nodded: "It must not be so simple, it must not be so simple!" Gao Dong, are you fighting with me? Is it testing my patience? When I can't stand the pressure to attack you, you'll uncover the trap that was prepared for me, won't you? ”

Shunroku Hata sneered, he had already decided that Gao Dong was bluffing. Such a shrewd general would never put himself and his 100,000 army to death, he must have some conspiracy.

Since Shunroku Hahata decided this, he decided to wait. It just so happened that his army was not fully assembled, so he used this time to wait for his army to be assembled. When Gao Dong couldn't stand it anymore, he could just get into this huge trap.

But things are often unexpected, and this kind of Hata Junroku waited for ten days! The PLA not only showed no sign of attacking, but instead built longer positions along the way, and it seemed that they were going to reorganize the entire border area of the base area, trying to build a Maginot Line in the east.

During this period, Shunroku Hata personally took a plane to inspect the top of the positions being built by the People's Liberation Army, and when he saw the scene of Chinese soldiers and civilians digging trenches in full swing below, his lungs were about to explode.

"Damn Gao Dong, are you really going to have a fight with me in this little place? Are you crazy? Hata Jun, who returned to the headquarters, spun around with anger.

Considering his unique Japanese thinking, that is, Gao Dong gave him a war letter very contemptuously. It is clearly written in the war book, that is, Lao Tzu has 100,000 people, waiting for you in Pingdingshan, and there is a kind of army of one million with you to take me.

"This is simply the most intolerable provocation against the Great Japanese Empire!" Shunroku Hata roared irritably.

"Sir, since they have built the area around Pingdingshan into a strong defensive circle, they are trapping themselves here. Let's bypass Pingdingshan and directly attack Yan'an, the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army! Let their main forces not be able to take care of each other, and when the time comes, they can only run for their lives and be completely annihilated by us! ”

"Yes, sir, if we attack their headquarters and set up deadly ambushes along the way! In terms of cooperation, our strong air support, the main force of the PLA will definitely be finished! ”

"Even Gao Dong can't escape from the traps, right? As soon as they leave the existing defensive position of Pingdingshan, they will immediately become a flock of sheep slaughtered by our million-strong army! ”

The staff officers under Shunroku Hata are planning the next strategy for Shunroku Hata with a word from you and me.

In the end, Shunroku Hata was almost moved. But just before he was about to make a decision, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

Then he quickly ran to the battle map, pointed to his position, and it didn't take long for him to burst out laughing.

"Gao Dong, Gao Dong, I finally know what you're thinking! You've really worked so hard to get me fooled? Hata Shunroku raised his head to the sky and roared, as if he had discovered the most fatal weakness of Gao Dong's command in an instant.

When two armies are at war, victory or defeat is often decided at the snap of a finger. It is not about the number of soldiers, nor the quality of weapons. It is often the person who can see through the whole battle that decides all this. Now, Shunroku Hata thinks that he has seen through the whole battle situation and grabbed Gao Dong's pigtails!

Looking at the puzzled eyes of his subordinates, Shunroku Hahata laughed and said, "Do you think Gao Dong really wants to stick to the same place?" ”

All his subordinates looked at each other blankly, and said in their hearts, do you know what people are thinking?

Shunroku Hata continued: "Gao Dong is really a smart man, he has already calculated our minds. Using a large number of pillboxes to build a strong defensive position around Pingdingshan, we were forced to make a detour to Pingdingshan to attack their large rear. This trick has just been thought of by everyone, and he Gao Dong has naturally calculated it a long time ago! ”

Then, Hata Shunroku quickly walked to the military map, pointed to the location of Wuhan and said: "If our army bypasses Pingdingshan and tries to exhaust the PLA troops, then it is precisely Gao Dong's strategy!" ”

"He will lead the main force of the People's Liberation Army to attack Wuhan, which is our base camp, and all the logistical supplies will be transported from Wuhan to the front line one after another. If our logistical supply is cut off, the million-strong army will be in chaos in a few days! ”

Hata Junroku sneered: "Gao Dong used an ancient Chinese art of war, called encircling Wei to save Zhao!" We attacked their strongholds, and he came to attack our heart. When the time comes, I don't think I need to explain it to you! ”

"We will definitely retreat with all our might, and when the time comes, as long as Gao Dong continues to set up ambushes along the way, he can naturally destroy a large number of our living forces. The People's Liberation Army, which was supposed to be our prey on the battlefield, eventually became a hunter, and when the time comes, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and maybe we may lose this war! ”

Shunroku Hatata's analysis made all the devils pinch a cold sweat. If it is really as Shunroku Hata said, then Wuhan is dangerous, and they have laid down a large area of land is dangerous.

Anyway, the People's Liberation Army used to be from the Tubalu and the New Fourth Army, and was good at fighting guerrilla warfare. As long as they return to their old profession and drill into the mountains, even if the devils have an army of one million, they will only be a very small army on a large area of Chinese land, and it is impossible for them to destroy the living forces of the PLA in a short time, and this time may be delayed to a year or two.

But their rear was really occupied by the PLA, and it was not the Southern Group Army under Gao Dong that was exhausted at that time, but their Chinese dispatch army.

"Your Excellency Commander is really clever, even this has been seen by you, it is estimated that if Gao Dong knew, he would definitely vomit blood on the spot, how could he meet an opponent like you with a yell!"

"Your Excellency the Commander is Gao Dong's nemesis, and his every move is clearly understood by you. If Gao Dong had been allowed to run into you earlier, our Imperial Army would not have suffered such heavy losses! ”

"Yes, compared to Your Excellency our commander, those imperial generals who were defeated by Gao Dong are simply like waste, they are not worthy of being called the Great Japanese Imperial Army at all, and they are not even qualified to carry shoes for our commander!"

"Your Excellency the Commander, even if he retires in the future, can become the honorary rector of the Imperial Army Academy. This set of valuable combat theories summed up from the battlefield will cultivate countless treasure-level talents for our Imperial Army. ”

"Yes, with Your Excellency the Commander, I find that I have more experience in fighting. If I can learn from His Excellency the Commander for two more years, I can also lead my troops to gallop on the battlefield. ”

A group of subordinates flattered, and the words like a spring breeze hit Shunroku Hata in the face, making him triumphant.

"That's it! Needless to say, when our army arrives, we will immediately attack the PLA positions on the front line of Pingdingshan! Hata Junroku was full of confidence, clenched his fists and said: "Gao Dong must not have imagined that I would do everything I planned and really surround Pingdingshan." The million-strong army of our Imperial Japanese Army will be like a mountain, completely shattering the dreams of the Chinese people to resist! ”

Pingdingshan, five kilometers from the newly repaired first line, is where the third line and the forward command post are located.

Gao Dong temporarily moved the headquarters of the Southern Army to the forward command post to facilitate the close command of the upcoming big battle!

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese army is mobilizing a large army, and there are signs of encircling us!"

While Gao Dong was busy directing his subordinates to consolidate his existing positions, an officer entered the headquarters to report.

Gao Dong looked down at his watch, and then a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's really good, after waiting for fifteen days, the devils finally have moved!" Shunroku Hatata, you old devil, you've been fooled! ”
