The more Jun Tada thought about it, the angrier he became, and he punched the map hard.

"Baga! It shouldn't be like this!"

Tada Jun's heart was full of unwillingness. He really didn't understand where he had failed.

Tada Shun really couldn't figure it out, because he had gone through countless deductions before implementing this tactic, and there was absolutely no problem with this tactic.

But now it seems that he still failed. In which link the problem occurred, Tada Jun is also puzzled.

"No~!"

Jun Tada roared unwillingly: "We are not defeated yet, this is just their death struggle."

Tada Jun was unwilling to fail and wanted to stop all this.

The old devil's eyes fell on the central and southeastern areas of Jinzhong and Shanxi on the map.

"right here!"

Tada Jun said through gritted teeth, as if he had found the key to the problem.

This tactic was implemented quite smoothly before, but problems have occurred one after another in recent times, and these problems all appeared in the central and southeastern areas of Shanxi.

In the final analysis, it is because the Eighth Route Army here is too strong, which has repeatedly caused them to suffer heavy defeats.

If the Eighth Route Army here can be eliminated, then the deterioration of the situation will definitely be prevented.

Now the scope of the Eighth Route Army's active counterattack is too large, involving multiple base areas, and Tada Shun currently has relatively few troops.

Because due to changes in the international situation, the Japs no longer have many troops to devote to the North China battlefield. During this period, Tada Shun lost his troops and suffered heavy losses, resulting in an increasingly serious shortage of troops.

If it were to launch a full-scale attack, its troops would be insufficient and it would be difficult to achieve any effect.

However, if superior forces are concentrated to carry out a key attack, it is still possible to succeed.

"Yes! Concentrate superior forces to attack the central and southeastern areas of Shanxi. As long as the Tubal Road here is eliminated, the entire war situation will be reversed and the current situation will gradually be changed."

Thinking of this, Tada Jun had already made up his mind. He had to do this and give it a try. Maybe there would be a chance.

If the situation is allowed to develop like this, his end will be very miserable.

Even if he doesn't follow in the footsteps of Shinozuka Yoshio, he will definitely be dismissed from his post and investigated, and his future will be completely ruined.

"Then start from the Taiyue area, mobilize superior forces, and wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the Taiyue area first, and then proceed to the southeast of Shanxi and clear out the Eighth Route Army here, so that the situation of the war can be completely reversed."

There is no doubt about Jun Tada's military ability, otherwise he would not have been able to become the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force.

His first two commanders were both army generals, and he was the first little devil to serve as the commander of North China as an army lieutenant general. This shows that the little devil still values ​​his abilities and talents quite highly.

.

Tada Jun had an idea in his mind, left his office quickly, and rushed to the command hall in a hurry.

At this moment, there was some chaos in the command hall. Many Japanese officers gathered in small groups, discussing something, and the whole hall seemed a bit noisy.

But when Tada Shun came to the command hall, the whole hall soon returned to calm.

Tada Jun walked directly to the giant sand table, when a group of Japanese officers surrounded him.

"Your Excellency Commander!"

Tada Jun waved his hand, indicating to the little devils to keep quiet.

All the Japs' eyes involuntarily fell on Tada Jun.

Tada Shun stared at the sand table and pondered for a moment, and then said: "We must not sit still and wait for death. The enemy takes the initiative to attack. If we only passively defend, we can only become more and more passive."

"Because these bastards are so cunning, no matter how we defend, there will always be loopholes, and they are pervasive."

"If we are always forced to defend, we will eventually fail, so we must also launch an attack and take the initiative to attack, so that we can gradually reverse this passive situation."

"Therefore, I decided to mobilize superior forces to launch a comprehensive attack on the main enemy forces in the Taiyue area, and strive to level the Tubal Road here as soon as possible. After pacifying the Taiyue area, I will then sweep the Taihang area. Only in this way can the problem be fundamentally solved.

.”

At this time, a Japanese colonel said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy forces in the Taiyue area are relatively strong. The imperial army may not be able to mobilize enough troops to encircle and suppress Tubal Road in this area in a short period of time."

Tada Jun turned his head and glared at the Japanese commander. The little Japanese was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and did not dare to talk to him.

Tada Jun continued: "The 37th Division was transferred from the Zhongtiao Mountain area, plus the independent Ninth Mixed Brigade from the southern section of the Tongpu Railway. The troops of one division and one brigade launched an attack on Taiyue District at the same time, with two sides.

Attack the Eighth Route Army."

"Such a superior force is enough to wipe out all these hateful Tubalu."

"Especially that Li Yunlong, we must completely eliminate them and avoid future troubles forever."

At this time, the new chief of staff, Major General Yukio Kasahara, said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 37th Division is stationed near Nakatō Mountain to guard against the main enemy force in the Nakatō Mountain area."

"If the 37th Division is transferred out, the frontline defense of Zhongtiao Mountain will inevitably be empty. If the enemy launches a counterattack at this time, I am afraid there will be some trouble."

Tada Jun glanced at Kasahara Yukio and said: "Kasahara-kun, I have also considered this issue."

"In recent times, the main enemy forces on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain have not carried out any major military operations, and the enemy is not united internally."

"If they had united, it would have been impossible for the imperial army to capture most of China."

"Now that the Eighth Route Army is gradually growing, not only do we not want to see this scene, but many people within the enemy do not want to see this scene either."

"So we mobilize our troops to attack the Eighth Route Army. They may not help the Eighth Route Army against the imperial army."

"Even if they want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, the most we can do is give up some less important areas, and we won't hesitate. As long as we can eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue District, it will all be worth it."

"At worst, after we eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we can just turn around and deal with them."

When he said these words, Tada Jun was obviously a little excited.

Yukio Kasahara originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Jun Tada's firm eyes and excited expression, Yukio Kasahara finally chose to shut up.

Because he knew very well that Tada Jun had now made up his mind and wanted to conquer the Taiyue area at all costs. No matter what he said at this time, it would probably be of no use.

What's more, Kasahara Yukio really didn't have a good reason to reject this proposal. After all, he was just a little worried.

If it is true what Jun Tada said, there is still much to be done in this battle.

So at this time, Kasahara Yukio wisely chose to shut up.

Seeing that no one expressed any objections, Tada Jun pointed to the sand table and continued: "At the same time, we can mobilize troops from the southern Hebei area and the Zhengtai Railway line to take the initiative to attack the Taihang area to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Taihang area.

, to prevent them from reinforcing the Taiyue area."

"In this way, the 37th Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade can concentrate all their efforts on dealing with Tubal Road in the Taiyue area."

"If everything goes normally, in half a month at most, we will be able to clear out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area and then attack the Taihang area."

"As long as we can clear the Tuba Road in these two areas, we can completely stabilize the situation in central Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi, and even stabilize the situation in the entire Shanxi Province."

Kasahara Yukio said quickly: "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."

Tada Jun glanced at the Japanese officers present and asked: "Gentlemen, do you still have different opinions?"

Everyone was silent. Who can stand here? No one is stupid. At this time, no one wants to make themselves uncomfortable, so staying silent is the best choice.

"吆西!"

Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction and said: "In that case, it's settled."

"The General Staff, immediately follow this plan and designate a detailed combat plan, and it must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Hai!"

The little Japanese officers present responded in unison.

…

After Li Yunlong led his troops back, Li Yunlong announced rewards to all participating troops for winning the battle.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo led their troops and after pulling out two strongholds, they also rushed to join Li Yunlong and the others. Everyone was excited to learn that they had won a great victory.

Only the soldiers of the fourth and fifth battalions were a little disappointed because they could not catch up with the battle.

However, compared to the Fourth and Fifth Battalions, the one who was the most unhappy was Sun Desheng of the Cavalry Battalion.

After returning, Li Yunlong invited everyone to drink, but Sun Desheng kept his head down and said nothing. Others had more or less credit, but their cavalry battalion did not win the battle. Sun Desheng was also a person who wanted to save face, so he felt that his face was dishonored.

When Li Yunlong saw this boy's dejected look, how could he not guess what he was thinking.

Li Yunlong said: "Sun Desheng, don't be so dejected!"

"This time our superior leaders have made a big decision to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy."

"Now is just the beginning, there will be many battles to come!"

"When we come back this time, we can only rest for two days at most, and then we will attack again."

"Our main purpose is to uproot the Japs' strongholds and attack their railways and highways to completely crush their so-called cage tactics."

"Let me tell you this, this is just the initial stage. Once we break their cage, we will launch a further counterattack."

"There will be many big and tough battles waiting for us to fight!"

"In other words, now it's just to clear the obstacles, it's an appetizer."

"With such a great opportunity, if your cavalry battalion wants to make meritorious deeds, are you still worried about not having the chance?"
