Yukio Kasahara personally drafted a telegram and sent it to Akira Yoshizawa in the name of the headquarters.

After receiving the telegram, Major General Yoshizawa Akira read it carefully several times and found that he was not severely punished. Yoshizawa Akira finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Neiji Okamura was already dissatisfied with Akira Yoshizawa's incompetence, but he could not find a suitable candidate to replace Akira Yoshizawa in a short period of time, so it was impossible for him to replace Akira Yoshizawa.

After all, if someone is parachuted to Luzhou at this critical moment, even if he is more capable than Yoshizawa Akira, he may not be able to do better than Yoshizawa Akira because he does not understand the local situation.

It is precisely because of this that Okamura Neiji did not go into details about Yoshizawa Akira's responsibility, but only gave him a slight scolding.

After all, he cannot be replaced, and there is no other way to punish him other than a reprimand.

Therefore, Major General Yoshizawa Akira is relatively lucky, but for Yoshizawa Akira, the danger has not been completely eliminated.

Li Yunlong's troops are close to Chi Chi and are always a threat to the little Japanese.

Yoshizawa Akira thought for a while, and then said to his officers: "Immediately notify all the Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army troops, saying that Your Excellency the Commander has given orders to mobilize the main forces to support the Luzhou area."

"It won't take long for reinforcements to arrive in Luzhou, and we will launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against Li Yunlong's troops."

"With the assistance of large forces, the elimination of Li Yunlong is just around the corner."

At this time, a Japanese officer quickly stopped him and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, do you mean to notify all the troops of this news? Do you mean that both the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army will issue this notice?"

"right!"

Yoshizawa Akira nodded.

Crazy!

The Japanese officer was even more confused and asked quickly: 'Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if the notice is sent out, the news will be leaked.'

"It won't be long before Li Yunlong and the others get the news."

Isn't this a leak of military secrets? In the opinion of the Japanese officer, Yoshizawa Akira was confused and would make such a low-level mistake.

Yoshizawa Akira sneered and said, "Do you think I don't understand such a simple thing?"

"I deliberately let Li Yunlong and the others know. I was afraid that Li Yunlong didn't know."

There were more confused Japanese officers at the scene, and they all looked at Yoshizawa Akira, wanting to understand what this guy was thinking.

Yoshizawa Akira said: "You can think about it, if Li Yunlong gets the news, what will they do?"

A Japanese officer blurted out: "They will definitely prepare in advance."

"good!"

Yoshizawa Akira nodded and said: "After they get the news, they will definitely make preparations in advance to deal with the imperial army's sweep."

"In this case, will Li Yunlong and others come out to attack the imperial army?"

"They don't know the specific time, and even we don't know the specific time."

"Just in case, they will always be on the defensive and will not dare to attack us easily again."

"This way we will be safe during this period."

At this time, a Japanese officer said: 'But according to the current trend, it is estimated that the imperial army will not launch a large-scale raid in a short time.'

"Because it takes time to mobilize reinforcements and equip them with sufficient supplies. Shanxi currently does not have enough troops and can only mobilize them from outside the province, which will take even longer."

"According to my guess, it will take at least fifteen days, and it may even be longer."

Yoshizawa Ming sneered and said: "Wouldn't it be better this way? When the time comes, Li Yunlong and the others have waited for a while and saw that there was still no movement from us. What will they think?"

"I think most of them will think that this may be a deliberate bluff by the imperial army, and there is no real plan to launch a raid."

"This way they will relax their vigilance. When the main force of the imperial army arrives, they may be caught off guard."

"So for us, nothing can be delayed, so what do we have to worry about?"

A Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is wise. In this way, we can at least ensure that we are absolutely safe for a period of time."

Yoshizawa Akira continued: "During this period, all our supplies that can be obtained from the local area will be provided from the local area, and those that cannot be provided will be transported by air."

"Order all units to strictly guard their respective defense zones and try not to let anything happen again. Otherwise, if something happens again, I won't be able to explain it to the Commander."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

The news quickly spread to all the Japanese and puppet troops.

The little Japs were better off. The puppet army was a mixed bag, with people of all colors, including many lurking Eighth Route Army soldiers.

So the news quickly reached the Eighth Route Army and was relayed to Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters.

Zhao Gang was the first to receive the notice and quickly found Li Yunlong.

"Old Li, I have just received the latest intelligence. Yoshizawa Akira has officially notified his subordinate units to prepare for battle. The North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters will dispatch the main force to Luzhou to cooperate with them in launching a large-scale sweep of the Xiantang Mountain area.

The goal is to eliminate us."

Li Yunlong smiled and asked, "Why do I feel like there's something fishy here?"

"He ordered to notify all the troops in the Luzhou area. If the Japs really wanted to carry out a raid, why did he issue such a notice in advance? Isn't this equivalent to giving us an advance notice?"

Zhao Gang said: "They only informed them of the plan, but they did not specify the specific time, or even how many reinforcements the North China Expedition Army would dispatch."

"So it's not like he intentionally leaked secrets."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Even so, if they are going to launch a raid soon, they will not let us get such news in advance. I feel that it may not be that simple."

Zhao Gang asked: "You mean, Yoshizawa Akira is bluffing."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "I can't say that completely, but it's definitely not that simple."

"But one thing is certain, that is, they will definitely not come in a short time."

"After all, it takes time for them to mobilize troops and supplies from other places. At the fastest, it will probably take ten days and a half, so we don't need to be too nervous."

Zhao Gang said: "Even if there is half a month, half a month is not long. It will be here in the blink of an eye, right?"

Li Yunlong said thoughtfully: "It would be best to find out the specific situation."
