The sound of the telegraph filling the room, and a thick smell of tobacco came out of the cracks in the windows and quickly disappeared with the wind.

It was already late at night, but the headquarters of the heavily guarded dispatch army was brightly lit. In particular, Shunroku Hatata's command and war room was filled with the sound of noise all night, as if it would never stop.

A burned-out cigarette smoked Shunroku Hatata's fingers were a little yellow, and the burning flames were about to burn to the parts of his fingers. But he didn't notice it at all, and all his attention was focused on the battle map around Pingdingshan, which had been magnified countless times in front of him.

There were five or six high-ranking officers standing around, all silent, quietly waiting for their commander to be the first to break the silence.

Shunroku Hata had been staring at the map for about half an hour, constantly circling the map with a red pen one red circle after another. As the red circles grew, his frowning brow slowly eased.

After another ten minutes, just when the atmosphere in this room was extremely depressing, Shunroku Hata finally raised his head slowly and said with a meaningful smile: "Gao Dong, it seems that this is just the case!" ”

The five or six devil officers around were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at their commander blankly. Not understanding that the commander would say such confident words, as soon as Gao Dong and his Southern Army appeared, they repelled the attacking Japanese troops on all fronts. This strength, who dares to say that he Gao Dong is nothing more than that.

Moreover, Gaodong is very famous, and the North China Dispatch Army, which is also the Japanese army, lost its armor and was almost surrounded and annihilated in Shanxi. It is said that it was because the independent army under Gao Dong at that time also suffered heavy casualties that Tada Jun's North China Dispatch Army was spared total annihilation and survived.

"Your Excellency Commander, Gao Dong is not an ordinary person, we must not underestimate the enemy!" A devil major general coughed, but couldn't help but remind.

Shunroku Hata raised his head and looked at the worried eyes of several of his subordinates in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

Waving his hand at a few people, Shunroku Hata smiled and said, "I mean, you misunderstood, I didn't say how weak our opponent is." On the contrary, the man who can attract the attention of the entire Japanese top is bound to be the strongest of the strong. ”

"I mean, he made a mistake in this layout and created an extremely good offensive opportunity for us!" Shunroku Hata pointed to the map and said proudly.

Several of his subordinates immediately showed expressions of eagerness, and everyone stared intently at Shunroku Hatata.

Hata Junroku's guanzi was sold enough, so he said with a smile: "Gao Dong has concentrated all the strongest forces under his command this time, and all of them are concentrated on the battlefield about thirty kilometers away from the line of Pingdingshan. This is a very good way to concentrate their forces and focus on breaking through our defenses while our army is attacking, so as to break our offensive line as a whole. ”

"Have you ever seen a draw?" Shunroku Hatatake's abrupt change the subject.

"Of course I've seen it, we are all from samurai families, and we are no strangers to bows and arrows!" A devil major general's eyes flashed: "Commander, what you mean is that Gao Dong's idea is to concentrate on attacking us with the greatest strength. As long as we attack this point to the point of breaking like a bowstring, then our entire offensive line will also break! ”

"Clever, a little bit thorough!" Shunroku Hata looked at the subordinate appreciatively, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Judging from the weapons equipped by the People's Liberation Army and the training quality of the soldiers, there is no problem at all if they want to do this." ”

"However, although this is Gao Dong's best plan, it is also the most unsuccessful place!" Under the surprised gazes of several people, Shunroku Hata suddenly pointed in the direction where the Japanese army was: "We have more than a million troops, if we all gather in the area of Pingdingshan and hit the PLA like a clenched fist, what do you say?" ”

"The People's Liberation Army is like a stone that hits an egg, and it will be wiped out in an instant!" A devil major general immediately replied.

"That's right! Our million-strong army can not only wipe out the living forces of the People's Liberation Army layer by layer, but also quickly surround them when they are constantly attacking! Surrounded by our army, even if they have three heads and six arms, will they be able to escape? Shunroku Hata's smile became even more gloomy.

"The commander is really a genius, compared to Tada Jun and Matsui Ishine and the like, you are really much more clever! Gao Dong's careful thinking was instantly seen through by His Excellency the Commander, and before the battle, he had already lost! ”

A few devils began to pat themselves on the back, eager to kneel down and sing praises. It seemed that the war had fully ended, and Gao Dong was captured as their prisoner.

Shunroku Hata accepted all these flattering sycophants, although Gao Dong had created so many brilliant records before. But for these devils who are arrogant in their bones, they don't really take Gao Dong seriously at all.

"But Your Excellency, Commander, they have a new type of tank force, and they are supported by aircraft. These two points are very tricky......" A devil major general suddenly asked this question.

"Well, I've thought about this question too!" Shunroku Hata said confidently: "Tanks, as long as they are surrounded by us, a salvo of heavy fire can scrap them all. Just let their tanks be arrogant for a while, and don't bother with them. After all, a bunch of things that are about to become scrap metal, is it necessary to pay attention to them? ”

Shunroku Hata then sneered, "As for the plane? Hmph, it's just that some planes were snatched from us, is our aviation still afraid of them? I have more than 500 planes under my command, divided into two air groups. Against them, that's more than enough. So, none of this is a problem. ”

Another sound of sycophants singing praises sounded, and Shunroku Hata was immersed in the smoke and the sycophants of his subordinates, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Gao Dong, are you ready to fail? It's time to go to hell, and you must bury all the heroic souls of the Imperial Japanese Army who died under your hands," Shunroku Hata smiled coldly, his hands already clenched into fists.

The wind was howling outside, beating on the windows layer by layer, and a spring rain was coming.

At the same time, in the city of Pingdingshan, the local garrison headquarters. It was all vacated, making room for the newly formed Southern Army Command.

Gao Dong and his group of deputies were all gathered in this small headquarters, and the dim light illuminated everyone's grim faces, and a murderous aura slowly spread between them.

Yang Dezhi pointed to the direction of the Japanese army on the sand table and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese army has secretly transferred all the heavy troops attacking Shaanxi to the Pingdingshan area, and the troops attacking other places have gathered towards the Pingdingshan area. Although they were very careful, they were informed by our reconnaissance team. The Japanese army is planning to concentrate its forces to storm Henan, and the breakthrough point is Pingdingshan! ”

"The purpose of the Japanese army is very obvious, that is, to concentrate forces and completely wipe out our Southern Army Group on the Pingdingshan line. Even if it can't be destroyed, it must be defeated. Then they drove straight into the heart of my base. **** with a black face, lying on the map, speaking indifferently.

"Maybe they're trying to surround us, too?" Hu Xinghan pointed to the terrain around Pingdingshan and said: "The devil's strength is ten times that of us, if you spread out a formation here, you will completely surround us in it." Not to mention retreating, it's a luxury that we can escape. ”

The senior officers in the command headquarters expressed their opinions one after another.

But in fact, there is only one point, that is, the whole army should not be gathered in the area of Pingdingshan. Because in the face of the heavy soldiers of the devil, this is tantamount to looking for death.

Everyone looked at the silent Gao Dong from time to time, and every word they said was actually said to Gao Dong.

Gao Dong was the commander-in-chief and the supreme leader of the campaign. No matter what opinions the senior officers below expressed, the only person who could decide everything in the end was Gao Dong.

"Actually, you're all wrong!" Gao Dong, who had been silent for a long time, finally burst out with his roar. The quarrel around instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at Gao Dong expectantly, hoping that he could give a solution.

"We're not going to stay here, we're going to attack!" Gao Dong said with a sneer.

"What, offense?" At this moment, everyone stood up in unison and looked at Gao Dong in shock.

"Yes, it's an offense!" Gao Dong nodded affirmatively: "I believe that our opponent Shunroku Hata has already guessed this, with my style of commanding operations, if I don't attack and defend passively in the area of Pingdingshan, then I am not Gao Dong." ”

The people around him were silent, when did Gao Dong passively defend when he was fighting. For Gao Dong, defense is offense, and only an active attack can thwart all the enemy's plots.

"Commander-in-chief, tell me what you think!" looked at Gao Dong and said.

"Since Shunroku Hata is already waiting for us to attack, and has shrunk his forces to prepare to surround us. If we change the offensive plan at this time, wouldn't we be too sorry for the Japanese general? Gao Dong laughed!

"We will break through in a straight line and attack his main position as Shunroku Hatakea intended!" Gao Dong's face became solemn: "But by no means all of our troops, this is just to create a false impression for the Japanese, as if we are going to forcibly break through them." But this is only to create a little fog for my plan, and the real killer move will not be revealed until all the Devil's troops are assembled. ”

Everyone stared at Gao Dong curiously, and no one knew what Gao Dong was thinking in his head.

"Death and resurrection, that's my plan. Respond to all changes with the same, this is our plan of attack! Gao Dong slammed his fist on the table: "Don't be frightened by the million-strong army of the Japanese, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, who have we Chinese soldiers been afraid of?" ”
