Chapter 751: Vertical and horizontal combination!
Shanxi.
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
"Reporting to Commander, the North China Front Army Headquarters has just shared intelligence with our department."
"The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi has completed pre-war mobilization, distributed ammunition, and distributed helmets. It will move north to attack Taiyuan today. I order your troops to prepare for the battle."
"Once the Eighth Route Army besieges Taiyuan, the North China Front Army will mobilize heavy troops to form a larger encirclement around Taiyuan."
"This is the central flowering tactic!"
"Commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, His Majesty the Emperor is on board, and the Japanese Locust Army is on board!"
After listening to the communications staff read the telegram sent from the North China Front Army Headquarters, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, panicked.
So Li Yunlong returned to Kenanpo and lived there for a long time.
Although the Fourth Route Army is nominally Li Yunlong's subordinate, it is only in name. The Fourth Route Army has no combat operations and always greets me, the Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Theater.
However.
"It should be true." Yan Xishan nodded.
But once the Japanese are driven away, there will definitely not be a small battle between the Fourth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Then he handed the telegram to the communications staff officer. The communications staff member bowed his head first and walked away slowly with the telegram in his hand.
Yamazaki Kazuki suddenly raised his head.
When he raised his head, Yamazaki Kazuki narrowed his eyes. The Fourth Route Army had just had a conflict with the Jinsui Army.
According to intelligence analysis, the total strength of the Fourth Route Army's retreat to Taiyuan was at most less than 150,000, which was less than five times that of the Japanese army in Taiyuan.
Yanhua Guzheng's expression changed, and he nodded, expressing his agreement with Ke Xia Yimu's words.
Seventh Theater Command.
The later commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshie, also wanted the Yamamoto detachment to hold back the main force of the Fourth Route Army.
Okamura Neiji rejected Iwakatani Masa's application, saying that the 33rd Division and the 37th Division could temporarily withdraw to Taiyuan, which would affect Okamura Neiji's central flowering plan.
And the keen Yamazaki Kazuki heard a trace of trembling in Iwakagaya's positive tone.
Thinking of that, Yamazaki Kazuki looked at Iwakatani Masaru and said in a deep voice: "Commander, do you think the strength of Taiyuan is still too much? You suggest that the strength of the 33rd Division and the 37th Division should also be adjusted.
Return to Taiyuan to resist the retreat of the Fourth Route Army!"
Luliang Mountain.
This aid channel in front of Matsu Yoshio probably provided Matsu Yoshio with heavy artillery of smaller caliber.
Ke Xia immediately asked: "Commander, have you ever heard of He Zong Lian Heng?"
Ke Xiajin frowned slightly and his expression became simple.
The firepower is extremely weak and the ammunition is sufficient. Can the First Army's troops in Taiyuan hold out until reinforcements arrive?
"Hi!"
"I think it's Yamazaki-kun." Masamichi Iwakatani, "I haven't thought at a strategic level yet."
"Your Excellency, Commander." Ke Xia Yimu suggested, "Do you think that Taiyuan can be saved with reinforcements? Since the Fourth Route Army dares to attack Taiyuan, if it loses the chance of winning, it means that the Fourth Route Army will not have more powerful weapons.
."
Although no valuable information was obtained, the intelligence department of the First Army also made some mistakes.
"Joint vertically and horizontally?" Iwakagaya was stunned, "What does that mean?"
Before passing the Fourth Route Army, the Japanese army showed a defensive contraction in Shanxi and had no time to take care of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Even about such a small thing as the Fourth Route Army's attack on Taiyuan, I only learned about it from the Japanese.
Now the main enemy the Fourth Route Army is dealing with is the Japanese army, which focuses on the small national interests.
"As expected of General Okamura Neiji, he can keenly seize opportunities. If the Eighth Route Army dares to attack Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army will be buried under Taiyuan City!"
Regarding that point, Li Yunlong still understands it clearly.
For the sake of the so-called Central Blossom Operation Plan, the safety of the First Army Headquarters was actually considered. If the First Army Headquarters was wiped out by the Fourth Route Army, could he, Okamura Neiji, take on that responsibility?
Ke Xiajin said: "The intelligence department of the Japanese First Army has just delivered a piece of information to your intelligence department at Taiyuan Station. The main force of the Fourth Route Army in northwest Shanxi and the Fourth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi will soon gather heavy troops to attack Taiyuan."
Yang Xingru responded and finished drafting a telegram.
Be it full or not, Kashin Iwako still has to carry out Neji Okamura's orders.
Commander, you are still afraid of death!
As for the Fourth Route Army, as long as the Jinsui Army takes the initiative to provoke the Fourth Route Army, the Fourth Route Army will take the initiative to retreat and attack the Jinsui Army.
After reading the telegram, Iwakagaya almost blurted out his greetings to Okamura Neji's ancestors.
After all, I, the commander of the Seventh War Zone, had never allocated any military pay or combat supplies to the Fourth Route Army.
Based on the speculation, I went to Okamura Neiji to apply to transfer the 33rd Division and the 37th Division back to Taiyuan. If so, Okamura Neiji would agree.
"You cannot leak the news that the Fourth Route Army is about to mobilize heavy troops to attack Taiyuan to the Jinsui Army and the Central Army."
The idea is rich, but the reality is cruel.
Half an hour ago, the North China Front Army Headquarters called back.
"Yoshi!"
Ke Xiajin and Miyazaki Masao were at a loss when they saw the telegram.
…
After all, Shanxi is such a small territory, and one mountain contains seven tigers.
After a pause, Yanhuagu looked at Yang Xingru: "Kanagu-kun, he immediately drafted a telegram and applied to the commander of the North China Front, Major General Okamura Neiji, to transfer the 33rd Division and the 37th Division back to Taiyuan!"
Kenanpo.
Before finishing the telegram, Iwakagaya looked at it to see if he found any problems, so he signed his name.
"This time the Fourth Route Army attacked Taiyuan, the main force came out in full force, and the base areas in northwestern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi will definitely be enriched."
"Hi!"
From the initial submachine guns to the current 150mm howitzers and tanks, they did not appear all at once, but appeared one after another within two years.
Even if I ordered the placement of Japanese spies and military control agents among skilled workers next time, the Fourth Route Army did not retreat to Luliang Mountain.
Seeing Yoshio Iwamatsu's confidence, Masao Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki couldn't help but feel excited.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If he hadn't scrupled Neji Okamura's orders, he would have slipped away from Taiyuan by plane.
Li Yunlong often worked in Qiulin Town, northern Shaanxi Province.
Yamazaki Kazuki nodded.
"In this way, the siege of Taiyuan will be lifted. You suspect that the Jinsui Army and the Central Army are also willing to see the Fourth Route Army capture Taiyuan."
"What did he say?" Li Yunlong sat up in shock, "The Fourth Route Army is going to gather heavy troops to attack Taiyuan? Is the news true?"
Regarding the strength of Taiyuan's troops, even a few more divisions were too small for Yan Kexiajin.
At present, Kazuki Yamazaki is mainly in charge of the intelligence department of the First Army.
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Huh!?"
"Yamazaki-kun, what do you mean?" Masao Miyazaki looked suddenly startled, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Does the Fourth Route Army have any heavy artillery with a smaller caliber than a 150mm howitzer?"
Then the main force of the First Army was preparing to form a small encirclement in Guanjianaoli and eat up the main force of the Fourth Route Army in one go.
"As for the historical allusions, you won't go into details beyond that."
If the Fourth Route Army was absolutely sure, would it send troops to attack Taiyuan?
When Yan Kexiajin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, but that was not a train of thought.
Because even if he, the leader of the First Army, is panicked, the people under his command will definitely be panicked, and the morale of the entire First Army may also collapse.
But as the commander of the First Army, even if he was panicking in his heart, he could never show it on his face.
Now we can only rely on the First Army to save ourselves.
"Yamazaki-kun, he doesn't have any good ideas?" Yanhua Guzheng said in a helpless tone, "If the Fourth Route Army does not have smaller caliber heavy artillery, your First Army will probably be able to defend Taiyuan."
It would be bad if the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army retreated from the Fourth Route Army's bandit area, but the retreat would cause little loss to the Japanese army.
And by the time the main force of the First Army arrives, the Yamamoto detachment has not yet been eliminated, let alone forming an encirclement to eliminate the main force of the Fourth Route Army.
At first, Ke Xia's detachment went deep into the hinterland of the Fourth Route Army's southeastern Shanxi base area and waited for reinforcements at a place called Guanjianao.
Yanhua Guzheng nodded, looked at Yamazaki Kazuki, and said: "Ke Xiajun's words don't make sense!"
Yamazaki Kazuki raised his head slightly: "Commander, your Majesty's Highness!"
Moreover, if the Fourth Route Army dares to attack Taiyuan, it will definitely send troops to block the reinforcements.
Although Yamazaki Tasho said it was possible, Iwakatani Masaru was very vague and the possibility was very small!
After all, with the fighting style of the Fourth Route Army, if there was no chance of victory, the soldiers would definitely go to Taiyuan to die.
Iwakagaya is very vague, it was just a guess by Yamazaki and me.
Seeing Ke Xiajin's eyes looking deep in thought, Yan Xishan said again: "Commander, General Ke Xia Yimuduo of the Japanese First Army sent you a message, saying that as long as you, Commander, send troops to retreat to the base area of the Fourth Route Army in northwest Shanxi,
The First Army will agree to all your conditions, and at the same time, the First Army will try its best to hold back the main force of the Fourth Route Army that is retreating from Taiyuan..."
"If the Jinsui Army takes advantage of this to retreat and attack northwest Shanxi, and the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain takes advantage of this to retreat and attack southeastern Shanxi, it can force the Fourth Route Army to return for reinforcements."
After all, this aid channel does not even have aircraft or tanks, let alone small-caliber heavy artillery.
"Is that possible?"
Yamazaki Kazuki said in a deep voice: "Combining vertical and horizontal lines is the diplomatic and military policy advocated and implemented by political advisors during the Warring States Period in ancient China."
After hearing Yamazaki's analysis, Iwakagaya's face suddenly turned ugly.
Li Yunlong thought to himself that since the Fourth Route Army dared to attack Taiyuan, it meant that it had no chance of winning.
Ke Xiajin was washing his feet and getting ready to go to bed when Yan Xishan, deputy commander of the Seventh War Zone, walked back slowly with a telegram in his hand.
In addition, the central flowering strategy, Yamazaki Kazuki thought to himself, is very unfamiliar to you.
Before that, Yanhuagu was looking at Yamazaki Kazuki: "Yamazaki-kun, their intelligence department immediately tried to find a way to pass the information on the Fourth Route Army's heavy troop buildup to the Central Army and the Jinsui Army, so that the Chongqing government and the Seventh Theater Command could
Knowing this as quickly as possible, if the Chongqing government and the Shanxi-Sui Army are willing to retreat from the Fourth Route Army bandit area, the Locust Army is willing to cooperate and hold back the main force of the Fourth Route Army that retreats from Taiyuan."
Ke Xiajin stole Li Yunlong's 2,500 skilled workers, as well as the weapons and equipment of an enhanced battalion, and a transport team of more than 350 mules and horses. Does Ke Xiajin dare to send troops to retreat to northwest Shanxi?
But it doesn't matter. Li Yunlong is not used to the Fourth Route Army doing whatever it wants.
Yan Xishan first gave a military salute, and then exclaimed: "Report to the commander, nothing happened!"
Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked: "Xingru, it's so late, nothing big happened?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio narrowed his eyes, and a chilling aura spread out:
Every once in a while, a new regiment of the Fourth Route Army will appear with a less lethal weapon.
