The deputy commander-in-chief's decision made Kong Jie feel at ease.
Regardless of whether Neji Okamura had a backup plan or not, he would not watch the North China Front lose 50,000 puppet troops in five days.
Even though the total number of Japanese and puppet troops under the North China Front exceeds 500,000, a one-time loss of 50,000 troops will still cause a fatal blow to the North China Front.
Okamura Neiji no longer has mobile troops in his hands. Losing even one soldier will pose a huge threat to the stability of North China.
If Gangcun continues to raid the Yizhong base area at the risk of destabilizing North China, it will be losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
As long as this old devil has any sense, he won't do this.
In that moment, Kong Jie suddenly felt that the burden placed on his shoulders by Okamura Neji suddenly disappeared.
At ten o'clock in the morning, when Kong Jie was discussing with Huang Yu when Neiji Okamura would withdraw his troops, the radio operator suddenly rushed to them in a panic and reported anxiously: "Commander...Deputy Chief of Staff..."
"An urgent message from the commander of the assault company directly under the division..."
"The little devils on the forward blockade suddenly rushed forward twenty kilometers and began to build the sixth blockade..."
Kong Jie frowned and asked, "Hasn't their fifth blockade not been repaired yet? Why did they start building the sixth blockade all of a sudden? Doesn't Neji Okamura know that he can bite off more than he can chew?"
"Xiao Huang..."
"Do you think Okamura Neji is confused by us now, why does he do stupid things?"
"First we proactively abandoned the third blockade, and now we're building the sixth blockade in advance..."
"Perhaps Okamura Neji has returned to Peiping, and the ones left behind in Baoding are other little Japs..."
"The Japanese frontline command has changed its commander!"
"Otherwise, why would the Japanese army's combat style suddenly change drastically?"
"I used to be as cautious as I could be, but now I am as impulsive as I can be..."
Huang Yu didn't answer, and quickly found the map with all the Japanese blockade lines marked on it. He opened it and took a look at it, then patted his head and suddenly realized.
"Commander..."
"We seem to have been tricked by Okamura Neji..."
"I have always thought that he had some back-up plan that we didn't know about when he voluntarily abandoned the third blockade line. I also thought that Neji Okamura had recruited reinforcements from the Kwantung Army again. He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night and even sent a telegram to the headquarters.
Let them help us investigate this matter..."
"now I understand……"
"That old devil, Neji Okamura, has no backup at all, and he didn't get any reinforcements from the Kwantung Army."
"The reason why they dare to give up the third blockade is because they are about to build a sixth blockade."
"In this way, the Japanese army still controls three blockades, which will not affect their iron wall encirclement at all."
"As for the fifth blockade that has not yet been repaired..."
"They calculated that the Independent Brigade had just experienced a major battle and needed time to rest and recuperate before continuing to participate in the war. The Japanese troops on the forward blockade were large and the various defenses were like Tietong. We did not dare to launch an attack rashly in a short period of time.
"
"As long as there are no accidents at the fourth and sixth blockades, they will have time to slowly build the fifth blockade."
"Bang..."
Kong Jie was so angry that he punched the table and cursed in annoyance: "That old devil Okamura Neji is really cunning. So many of us have been tricked by him. I'm so angry."
"Since this old devil has no backup plan, we can't wait for other Eighth Route Army troops to help us relieve the siege..."
"Xiao Huang..."
"How about we take advantage of the fact that the Japanese are still on the offensive and their footing is not stable, and launch a sudden attack, catching them off guard, and taking the opportunity to eat up another of their regiments..."
"The biggest reason Okamura Neji wants to force us into a decisive battle through the iron wall encirclement is the superiority of troops."
"We join forces with Li Yunlong to fight and try to capture two more regiments within ten days. Even if the other Eighth Route Army fails to kill the enemy and fails to force Neji Kangmura back, the remaining little Japs on the front line will not dare to do so.
Fight with us!"
Huang Yu said with certainty: "Commander..."
"Ningji Okamura just doesn't move. This move really created a new fighter for us!"
"What should I say?" Kong Jie immediately showed an expectant expression on his face, staring at Huang Yu and asking anxiously.
Huang Yu said bluntly: "The deputy commander raided the Japanese army's third blockade and killed three reinforced brigades. It may not seem like much, but it is still a serious injury to the little Japanese who don't have many on the front line."
"If we contact the deputy commander immediately and ask him to assume a posture of storming the Japanese fourth line of defense."
"You can even send troops to approach the Japanese fourth line of defense in company units."
Kong Jie patted the table and replied: "I understand what you mean..."
"Let Li Yunlong divide his troops to attack the fourth blockade, and Ningji of Bigan Village will have to divide his troops to protect the fourth blockade."
"Their fifth blockade has not been completed yet. There will definitely be a lot of Japanese and puppet troops left to supervise the people as they continue to dig blockade trenches and build blockade walls..."
"As a result, the little devils will have far fewer troops to establish the sixth blockade..."
"The Japanese advanced twenty kilometers at a time..."
"We won't arrive at the scheduled location until around noon..."
"During this period, we will arrange some small groups of troops to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to sneak attack them. It will definitely be no problem to delay it for an hour or two."
"After the Japanese army arrived at the station, they arranged some artillery units to use guerrilla warfare to attack the Japanese from a distance, so that they could not build blocking positions around the station."
"As long as it lasts until six o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese escort planes in the sky will have to withdraw from the battlefield..."
"We can come out from the darkness and gather heavy troops to storm one of the stations..."
"Without a position as a bunker, the enemy's defensive capabilities will definitely be much worse than before. As long as our artillery fire is strong enough and we strike first, we will definitely be able to take them down."
"Maybe we can surround the place again for reinforcements... and kill two to three thousand more little devils."
Kong Jie's eyes lit up after hearing this...
He hit the table with his clenched fist again, and said excitedly: "Did it..."
"As long as it can weaken the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield, we can fight as you say...I will send a telegram to Li Yunlong now and ask him to cooperate with our actions..."
…………
Independent Brigade Headquarters.
After reading the telegram sent by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong couldn't help but let out a long breath.
After carefully studying the combat map, Kong Jie and Huang Yu came up with the strategy and started giving orders...
"chief of staff……"
"Let each of the three main regiments draw out a battalion, and use the platoon as a unit to immediately attack the Japanese fourth blockade line..."
"Each main platoon must show me the posture of a company... to make the Japanese mistakenly think that our independent brigade is out, and plan to storm their fourth blockade as soon as it gets dark tonight..."
"Last night, they deployed 10,000 elite troops at the third blockade but they couldn't withstand our attack..."
"No matter what happens tonight, we must prepare fifteen thousand people!"
"Otherwise, I might actually change the feint attack into a strong attack!"
