Okamura Neiji built the forward blockade like a railway line and deployed heavy troops everywhere. With the existing strength of the troops left behind in the base area, they would definitely suffer heavy losses in a head-on confrontation.
If you want to break the situation, you can only place your hope on the independent brigade that has already broken out of the base area.
One hair move affects the whole body.
As long as there is a breakthrough in the independent brigade's attack on the Japanese third blockade, the little devils stationed at the forward blockade will sooner or later reveal their flaws.
The troops left behind in the base area can seize the opportunity to launch a fatal attack on them, and maybe the counter-mopping operation will be won along the way.
At this moment, the two of them were focused on the third blockade attacked by the Independent Brigade, hoping that they would make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
"Commander..."
The operator's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet headquarters.
Kong Jie and Huang Yu looked at each other quickly, and both saw tension and anticipation in each other's eyes.
"Is it Li Yunlong's telegram?" Kong Jie spoke first and asked anxiously.
The operator immediately nodded: "Great victory on the front line..."
"The independent brigade was divided into three, and with the main regiment as a unit, it continuously broke through three Japanese garrison positions and eliminated three small Japanese soldiers who strengthened the brigade."
"The other little devils stationed on the third blockade saw that the situation was over, so they gave up their station and ran away..."
"The Independence Brigade took the opportunity to fully occupy the Japanese third blockade, and is rapidly destroying the blockade wall and blockade ditch, completely destroying the third blockade."
"Okay..." Kong Jie's tense nerves relaxed and he patted the table and shouted.
"Without the third blockade, there are only two blockades between us and the Independence Brigade."
"If this old devil Okamura Neiji doesn't retreat, I will join forces with Li Yunlong to fight a front-to-back attack and eat another of his units."
Kong Jie became more and more excited as he talked, and when he was about to continue talking, Huang Yu frowned and was not happy at all about this victory.
It seems that the battle report sent by Li Yunlong is not good news, but bad news.
Kong Jie knew Huang Yu very well and knew that he was not an aimless person.
Frowning in the face of good news means that there is something wrong with the good news in front of you, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
He quickly put away the smile on his face and asked with a serious face: "Xiao Huang, do you have any questions?"
"The Independent Brigade successfully captured the Japanese army's third blockade and annihilated more than 3,000 Japs. It was indeed a great victory." Huang Yu did not hide his inner thoughts and looked at Kong Jie's serious and direct analysis.
"But I don't understand why Okamura Neiji took the initiative to evacuate the garrison on the third blockade and abandon the third blockade."
"The three blockade lines are the most basic conditions for the Japanese army to encircle and sweep us through the iron wall. It is impossible for Okamura Neji not to know."
"Without the third blockade, his so-called iron wall encirclement will be in vain, and we may be attacked from both front and rear at any time."
"Logically, he should stick to the third blockade and fight to the death with the Independent Brigade."
"In the end, this old devil actually gave up the third blockade on his own initiative. It's so strange."
"From the battle report: The Japanese army arranged two squadrons of surface troops at each station of the third blockade line, and arranged two squadrons of ambushes, totaling a thousand or so little Japs."
"The independent brigade captured three stations and eliminated three reinforced brigades. There are still six stations and six to seven thousand little Japs left in the third blockade."
"If Okamura Neji continues to fight, there is no chance of winning. After all, the Independent Brigade has fought several bloody battles and the troops have suffered heavy losses."
"Even if the third blockade is lost in the final battle, the independent brigade will suffer heavy casualties and lose its combat effectiveness."
"At that time, even if we want to attack the remaining two blockades from front to back, we will not be able to do so."
"As the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji is so sophisticated that it is impossible not to see this."
"But he didn't do that."
"In order to protect the troops, we took the initiative to abandon the third blockade and put the troops stationed on the first and second blockades under our attack from the front and rear."
"This decision is too stupid. No matter how you analyze it, it is a stupid move."
"In the end he did it anyway."
"I don't believe Okamura Neji is a fool..."
"That means Okamura Neji is planning a new unknown conspiracy."
After listening to Huang Yu's analysis, Kong Jie couldn't laugh anymore, and the calm expression on his face was replaced by seriousness.
The last time Okamura Neiji played a dirty trick was to set up an ambush at the forward position and eat two of his reinforced battalions in one go.
Kong Jiedao is still frightened, and his heart aches when he thinks of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives.
Now Okamura Neji has started to play dirty tricks again.
Before they knew exactly what this underhanded move was, neither the independent brigade that had successfully broken through nor the troops left behind in the base area dared to act rashly, but the troops did not have much time to continue fighting with Okamura Neji.
Since the Japanese army widened the distance between the blockade lines to 20 kilometers, the speed of mopping up has increased significantly, leaving less and less time for the troops to counter-mopping up.
If the Yizhong troops cannot make a breakthrough as soon as possible and break the iron wall encirclement of Neji Okamura, they will have to take the initiative to stand up and fight the Japanese army.
This is a result that no one in the Eighth Route Army wants to see.
The more Kong Jie thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he immediately ordered Huang Yu: "The real purpose of Gangcun Neji's voluntary abandonment of the third blockade must be found out as soon as possible..."
"Otherwise our troops would definitely not dare to act rashly."
"The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the sweep that lasted for more than a month, and the casualties in our Sixth Army Division were also not small."
"If we are tricked by Neji Okamura and they eat two or three battalions in one go, we will lose our combat effectiveness due to too many casualties, and then we will not be able to break the Japanese army's iron wall."
"So every battle we are going to fight in the future must be very cautious. We must be sure of victory before we start the war. There must be no accidents."
"But we can't continue to be in a stalemate with the Japanese, otherwise the soldiers will have to fight the Japanese army because the base area is getting smaller and smaller, and we will be the ones who suffer in the end."
"Xiao Huang, do you have any ideas?"
Huang Yu shook his head: "We don't have any relevant information at all."
"You definitely can't figure out Neji Okamura's new conspiracy just by guessing."
"I just studied the map."
"The little devils on the blockade will advance forward twice and establish two blockades, and we will have to fight them due to lack of space for movement."
"After calculation, Okamura Neji only has about ten days left for us."
"I don't dare to fight, and I don't have any information. This is really a case of blindness..."
A clever decision of his own made the commander of the Sixth Army Division of Yi Zhong unable to eat or sleep.
If Neji Okamura knew about this, he would definitely be happy, it would be such a bargain.
