"Chief, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are too courageous... The iron wall siege they created by Okamura Neji is a paper defense line. Can the troops break through if they want to?" This is what the chief of staff saw.
The summary after finishing the telegram.
The deputy commander asked calmly: "So, you are not optimistic about their action?"
The chief of staff replied directly with a solemn expression: "It's not that I'm not optimistic..."
"I think they have no chance of breaking through Neji Okamura's iron wall."
"We've studied it before."
"If Okamura Neji uses iron walls to encircle other base areas, we will definitely lose and have no chance of winning."
"The Sixth Army Division in the Wing is well-equipped, has sufficient ammunition, and also has heavy artillery and tanks to support the battle, so it has the opportunity to withstand the Japanese army's iron wall encirclement."
"But if they were to go head-to-head with Neji Okamura's iron wall and fight their way through one blockade after another, the hope of success would be slim."
"I suggest that the chief prevent them from taking risks in the name of the headquarters."
"Neji Okamura's iron wall encirclement has almost no defensive loopholes. Head-to-head confrontation is the same as the Japanese army's muzzle collision and seeking death."
Seeing the deputy commander looking calmly at the telegram he handed over and not answering his own words, the chief of staff immediately had a bold idea in his mind and asked with a shocked look on his face: "Chief..."
"You don't think this battle plan can be realized, do you?"
"What they have to face is an iron wall surrounded by Okamura Neji, not an ordinary blockade."
"Investigation shows that every blockade line created by the Japanese iron wall encirclement has a blockade ditch more than six meters wide and a blockade wall more than five meters high."
"The blockade ditch combined with the blockade wall is like a city wall lying in front of Kong Jie and the others."
"A reinforced regiment is stationed every ten kilometers on the city wall, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons."
"There is not just one city wall in front of them, but four walls. If one is broken, there will be another one. The Japanese can use the blockade wall to continuously reinforce the battlefield and block and siege them. How to fight?"
"The breakout troops were probably consumed by the Japanese troops on the way to the breakout before they broke through the four blockades."
"Is it up to people?" the deputy commander replied calmly.
"Before Kong Jie and the others launched their counterattack, could you have imagined that they would be able to pull out their teeth and eat two of Okamura Neji's reinforced units in a row?"
"To be honest, I can't think of..."
"But they did."
"And we are hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield. We don't know what the strength of the Sixth Army Division in the Wing is now, nor do we know what the real situation is on the battlefield?"
"Although there is some information for us to study, it is definitely not as detailed as Kong Jie and others know."
"Instead of dictating here, it's better to let them go and let them do it themselves. Maybe they can create another miracle for us."
"Kong Jie and Xiao Huang are both mature and steady people."
"Since the two of them agree that it is so big, it means that the Sixth Army Division has at least a 70% chance of winning."
"Once it is completed, it will not only relieve the Sixth Army Division, but also provide various bases operating in enemy-occupied areas with an opportunity for large-scale counterattacks.",
"This is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Even if there is only a 50% chance of winning, I will give it a try."
"Call back to Kong Jie: The former enemy headquarters fully agrees with their combat plan."
"Let them do it without any worries..."
…………
Japanese Army Baoding Garrison Headquarters.
Okamura Neji always felt that his eyelids had been twitching in the past two days, as if something big had happened.
Whenever battle reports from the front line were sent here, he would read them personally to make sure there were no accidents or omissions.
Two days have passed. Except for the continuous small-scale sneak attacks launched by the Eighth Route Army, no other accidents have occurred on the front line.
Faced with the facts, Okamura Neji could only suppress the bad premonition in his heart.
In the blink of an eye it was dark again.
As usual, Neji Okamura ate first and then returned to the war room to reorganize all the battle reports received during the day and make sure there were no omissions before resting in the room.
I had just fallen asleep at ten o'clock in the evening when rapid footsteps sounded at the door of the room.
Okamura Neji was very vigilant. He got up from the bed without waiting for the other party to knock on the door. He frowned and asked in annoyance: "What happened? I'm so anxious that I can't sleep well."
"Your Excellency, Commander..." The anxious report of the deputy chief of staff on duty immediately sounded at the door.
"The front line was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Two regiments were attacked at the same time. The other side dispatched a large number of heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and thunder cannons. The fortifications were very fierce and the troops suffered heavy casualties."
Okamura Neiji put on his shoes and military uniform, rushed out of the room, and went straight to the war room.
The calm war room before going to bed has become a mess. There are phones everywhere and the sound of phone calls, phone ringing, and the sound of messengers reporting. Okamura Neji is not tired of the noise.
He slammed the table and cursed: "Why are you panicking..."
"Isn't it the Eighth Route Army's attack on the blockade? It's not the first time it's happened. Why should you be nervous? Tell me. This is the former enemy headquarters, not a vegetable market. How can it be so messy..."
"Report everything to me one by one, don't worry."
"No matter how fierce the Eighth Route Army's offensive is, it will not be able to kill one of our main units in a few minutes..."
"Your Excellency, Commander, there are two main regiments..." the deputy chief of staff corrected.
"Impossible..." Okamura Neji firmly objected.
"With the strength of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, it would be very difficult to capture one of our main regiments in a short period of time, let alone attack two of our main regiments at the same time. There must be a conspiracy in this..."
The deputy chief of staff responded very quickly. He looked at Okamura Neji with a look of enlightenment on his face and said: "I understand..."
"You mean the Eighth Route Army is attacking in the east and in the west..."
"The reason why we attacked our two main wings at the same time was to distract us..."
"Actually, their real target is only one of the main alliances."
Okamura Neji was firm in his judgment and nodded in reply: "Eighty percent so!"
"Immediately contact the two main regiments and ask them to immediately find out the strength and equipment of the Eighth Route Army attacking them. The more detailed the better, so that we can judge the main direction of the Eighth Route Army's attack. We can then deploy troops to reinforce the battlefield and eliminate the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops."
The deputy chief of staff took out the enemy situation report he had received. After reading it quickly, he frowned again. He looked at Okamura Neji with a puzzled face and asked: "But I didn't see the Eighth Route Army attacking the two main regiments.
What's the difference..."
"The offensive force is a reinforced regiment, equipped with more than ten tanks, more than 20 heavy artillery, more than 20 field artillery and mountain artillery, and a large number of thunder cannons and mortars to assist the battle."
