Chapter 279: Successfully Creating an Illusion

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

Receiving the telegram from the Mengsui Army, Okamura Ningji felt a little lonely, but also a little relaxed. Now that all the Mengsui Legion is broken, it has lost the meaning of reinforcement, and now that the troops are withdrawn, it will become high-sounding, and the base camp will definitely not blame.

Okamura Ninji, who was only thinking about withdrawing his troops as soon as possible and reducing the losses of his own troops, did not delve into the strangeness of this telegram at all at this time, but only ordered the correspondent of the command headquarters to call back to confirm it.

However, at this time, all the radio stations of the Mengsui Army were blocked, and it was naturally impossible to receive a confirmation telegram from the North China Front, and the correspondents of the North China Front Army immediately reported to Okamura Ningji when they saw that the radio stations of the Mengsui Army had lost contact.

After receiving the report, Okamura Ningji was relieved in his heart, thinking that the Mengsui Army must have been wiped out, and all the current radio stations have lost contact, which shows this.

As long as Okamura Ninji is cautious, he will find the strangeness of this telegram, the Mengsui Army does not belong to the battle sequence of the North China Front, but Okabe Naosaburo sent him the last farewell message, which is not normal.

Okamura Ninji, who didn't think so much, immediately ordered the three divisions on the front line to start retreating. The commander of the 4th Division, Yamashita Fumi, who received the order to retreat, looked overjoyed, and thought to himself that he could finally retreat and no longer face the terrifying 36th Army.

The position of the 2nd Infantry Division.

Division Commander Chen Erwa was studying countermeasures with the chief of staff of the Second Infantry Division. On the opposite side of the 2nd Infantry Division, according to reliable information, the strength of the three divisions of the little devils has now been gathered, and they are ready to move, and they may attack the positions of the 2nd Infantry Division at any time.

The three divisions of the little devils, numbering tens of thousands of people, are a force that should not be underestimated, so everyone carefully studied this countermeasure in the command headquarters to prevent the little devils from suddenly attacking.

At this time, a correspondent walked in quickly with a happy face, stood up in front of Chen Erwa and saluted a military salute, and said happily: "Division commander, the little devil on the other side seems to have received an order to retreat and is starting to retreat." ”

Hearing this, everyone thought in their hearts, the little devil really withdrew his troops, and the commander-in-chief is really like a god.

As early as two hours ago, the 2nd Infantry Division received a telegram from Zhang Yunfei, saying that the little devils would withdraw after 10 o'clock in the evening. When they received the telegram, everyone was still a little skeptical, everyone thought that the little devil had sent reinforcements on a large scale, and several divisions were dispatched in one go, and if the troops were withdrawn suddenly, it might be too small, not like the style of the little devil.

In the command center, a group of senior commanders of the Second Infantry Division hurriedly left the command center, stood in front of the command headquarters and looked into the distance, only to see that in the distance, the little devil's station, there were dots of firelight everywhere, and a lot of firelight was slowly moving into the distance.

Seeing this scene, everyone admired Zhang Yunfei so much.

Chen Erwaha, commander of the Second Infantry Division, said with a smile: "Comrades, you see, the little devils have really retreated, and our blocking mission has been successfully completed. ”

Several other senior commanders of the Second Infantry Division, such as the chief of staff, political commissar, and deputy division commander, were also full of joy when they heard this, and one of them said happily: "Division commander, we should report to the commander-in-chief as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, it must be reported quickly." Chen Erwa also said happily. It didn't take long for a telegram to be sent to Datong.

Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.

Zhang Yunfei had already received several telegrams in succession, one of which was sent by Liu Xing, which said that he had successfully sent a telegram to the North China Front Army of the little devils. Another telegram was sent by the Second Infantry Division just now, and the telegram said that several divisions of the little devils had begun to withdraw one after another.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Yunfei smiled, looked around at everyone, and said happily: "Comrades, we have successfully created the illusion of the annihilation of the entire Mengsui Army, Okamura Ningji has been fooled, and at present, several divisions of the North China Front Army to reinforce Guisui have begun to retreat. ”

Hearing this, everyone was happy, in this way, the pressure on the east side suddenly disappeared, and everyone could do their best to clean up the remnants of the little devil Mengsui Legion, and it would be a matter of time before the entire army of the Mengsui Legion was destroyed.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, also smiled and said happily: "Commander-in-chief, your move is really too clever, it is simply a clever move, and even the old and cunning Okamura Ningji has been fooled." ”

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also continued: "Commander-in-chief, in the future, if Okamura Ningji finds out that he has fallen into such a big trap, I estimate that he will vomit three liters of blood." ”

Haha...... everyone laughed when they heard this.

After a long time, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Dazhu also said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, since the little devil's reinforcements have begun to retreat, the end of the little devil's Mengsui Army is not far away." ”

At this time, Zhang Yunfei was also very happy in his heart, if the little devil Mengsui Army was completely annihilated, it would not only be able to deal a severe blow to the morale of the army in China, but also add a strong stroke to the history of the 36th Group Army and himself in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Zhang Yunfei pondered for a while, and said in high spirits: "Order the Second Infantry Division to garrison Daping Town and its vicinity, and for a period of time in the future, Daping Town will be the garrison of the Second Infantry Division, and the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Divisions will return to the Datong garrison to rest." ”

In the past, Daping Town was under the control of the little devils, who stationed a reinforced squadron and a small number of puppet troops in Daping Town, and with Zhang Yunfei's troops attacking Zhangjiakou a few days ago, the troops stationed in Daping Town retreated to Zhangjiakou.

At present, Daping Town is under the control of the 36th Group Army, and the geographical location of Daping Town is also relatively important, which can cut off the highway from Zhangjiakou to the west, and Daping Town is only 50 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, and if Zhangjiakou is to be attacked in the future, it will be used as a forward base for attacking Zhangjiakou.

After taking control of Daping Town, Zhang Yunfei's base area expanded a lot to the east, and the depth of the base area was greatly strengthened, so Zhang Yunfei would not give up easily for Daping Town.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was preparing to garrison the army in Daping Town, and that he was still stationed in a main division with more than 20,000 troops, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, was also impressed, and the strategic vision of the chief of staff Zuo was also very powerful, and he immediately understood the important significance of the garrison in Daping Town.

Understanding Zhang Yunfei's purpose, Chief of Staff Zuo said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, we will put the Second Infantry Division in Daping Town, I think Okamura Ningji will definitely feel like a fish in his throat in the future, and he will be very uncomfortable." ”

After speaking, Chief of Staff Zuo laughed. Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, "Lao Zuo, our Second Infantry Division is like a sharp blade inserted in the heart of the enemy, as long as Okamura Ningji, the old ghost, is not honest, we will move this sharp blade." ”

A few people next to him, seeing the two of them say this, immediately understood Zhang Yunfei's purpose and understood the strategic significance of the garrison Daping Town, and everyone laughed happily.

Guisui, the headquarters of the Mengsui Corps.

All the radio stations of the little devil have not been able to contact the outside world, and the little devil Nakasa, who is in charge of the confidential room, was still hacked alive by Okabe Naosaburo in a fit of anger, and Okabe Naosaburo's face at this time was unusually ugly.

The gunfire outside seems to be getting denser and clearer, which shows that the [***] team has not only reinforced a lot of troops, but also the [***] team is getting closer and closer to here.

Now, it has been almost an hour since he lost contact with the outside world, and Naosaburo Okabe is like an ant on a hot pot, walking over in the command center, and there is no way to do it at all.

What the battle situation is outside can only be guessed by listening to the sound of gunfire, and the radio stations of the various units below cannot be contacted, so it is impossible to know the situation of the various wings, brigades, and divisions below.

The rest of the little devils in the command headquarters also seemed cautious at this time, afraid of accidentally touching the moldy head, just now, many little devils saw Okabe Naosaburo use his own command knife to chop the little devil Nakazaburo alive, and the bloodstains on the ground that were not completely cleaned up are still clearly visible.

Although the little devil Mengsui Army is deep in the center of the city, there is a brigade outside to protect it, but Okabe Naosaburo still has no sense of security, and the sound of gunfire from outside constantly hits Okabe Naosaburo's heart one after another, making Okabe Naosaburo's heart tighten.

In the command headquarters, Okabe Naosaburo, who was walking around uneasily, always felt that something would happen, and felt faintly uneasy in his heart, Okabe Naosaburo suddenly stopped and said loudly: "Order, the Fifth Infantry Brigade responsible for the security of the headquarters strengthens precautions to prevent the sneak attack of the [***] team." ”

The little devil chief of staff standing on the side, who was also with his head down at this time, looked a little frightened, and suddenly heard Okabe Naosaburo's order, immediately stood upright, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander, I will arrange it immediately." ”

Seeing that his chief of staff personally went out to arrange the defense work of the headquarters, Naosaburo Okabe, who was anxious and uneasy, was a little relieved, and finally stopped walking around, and sat down on the chair with a little weakness.

Outside the little devil headquarters, separated by several streets, less than a thousand meters away, in a dim street corner, several figures faintly appeared in a private house, this is Liu Xing and his special combat team.

Because he knew the specific location of the headquarters of Okabe Naosaburo, the special combat team numbered 100 people, divided into more than a dozen combat teams, each team had a few people, and more than a dozen or twenty people, and everyone quietly advanced towards the headquarters of the little devil Mengsui regiment as planned.
