"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "Xu Rui is definitely doomed this time."
"However, we still can't be careless." Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said, "Xu Rui's unit is famous for its strong combat effectiveness. After discovering that it cannot gain a foothold in the Changbai Mountain area, it will definitely move again, so we must
Heavy troops were deployed outside the Changbai Mountain area to block their transfer routes."
"Suoga." Asaburo Kobayashi agreed, "Your Excellency, Commander, you must be aware that this matter must be guarded against."
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "Fortunately, Xu Rui's troops have just entered the Changbai Mountain area and are not even familiar with the environment, so it is impossible to discover the problem so quickly, so the imperial army still has at least half of it.
A month or even a month of deployment time is enough for the imperial army to build a tight blockade outside the Changbai Mountains."
Yamashita Fengwen turned around and walked to the large map posted on the wall, pointed at the map and said: "Look, Mr. Xiaolin, the Changbai Mountain Area runs northeast-southwest, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the scope is very vast. This allowed the imperial army to build a blockade.
It has become very difficult, but there are only three roads connected to the outside world, leading to Fengtian, Jilin and Mudanjiang respectively."
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "As long as the imperial army blocks these three roads, it will basically block the escape channels of Xu Rui's troops, because it is very difficult to march through the virgin forest in this season. If
Xu Rui's troops really decided to march through the virgin forest, which is actually a good thing for the imperial army."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "It is true. If Xu Rui's troops forcibly pass through the virgin forest, they will not be able to get supplies along the way and they will have to fight against the harsh natural environment. After walking out of the forest, the troops will become extremely exhausted. Once this happens,
Being discovered by the imperial army means their destruction."
Kobayashi Asaburo said: "So we only need to station troops in three main directions."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "I decided to station two divisions in three main directions, plus an armored regiment, which can basically contain Xu Rui's troops, but blockades must also be built in the other directions.
I decided to follow the example of Central China's conscript troops in the Damei Mountain area, dig a blockade trench around Changbai Mountain, and then build gun towers every 500 meters on the blockade trench, strongholds every 1,000 meters, and small fortresses every 5 kilometers.
!”
Asaburo Kobayashi made a rough calculation with his hands on the map and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, if we want to completely surround the Changbai Mountain Area, this blockade trench will need to be at least a thousand kilometers long. In addition to the need to build roads of the same length, more
We need at least 2,000 gun towers, 1,000 strongholds and 200 small fortresses!"
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "This is a huge project."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "As long as Xu Rui's troops can be wiped out, no matter how high the price is, it will be worth it."
Asaburo Kobayashi suddenly sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we can't move the fortresses built around the Greater Khingan Mountains and Lesser Khingan Mountains to Changbai Mountain. In order to guard against the Soviet Red Army, the Kwantung Army built a large number of fortresses, but now these fortresses have
Everything has become a decoration, and then we have to build so many fortresses in Changbai Mountain."
Yamashita Fengwen let out a light sigh, and then said: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten that the Kwantung Army's fortress construction project seems to have never stopped, right? So now, their workers should not have been executed yet, right?"
"I don't know." Asaburo Kobayashi was stunned for a moment and guessed, "Maybe he has been executed?"
"Go and ask Mr. Kimura. Forget it, let me call him personally." After Yamashita Fengwen finished speaking, he walked back to the executive desk and picked up the phone, shook the handle, and then said in a deep voice, "Here.
I take over as Chief of Staff Kimura."
After a while, the call was connected, and Yamashita Fengfumi asked directly: "Kimura-kun, has the fortress construction project initiated by the Kwantung Army been stopped?"
Kimura Hyōtaro, who was on the opposite side, said: "It has stopped."
Yamashita Fengwen then asked: "Where are the workers who built the fortress?"
Kimura Hyōtaro said coldly: "Commander, don't worry, the imperial army's food will not be wasted. These workers are already being executed in batches. All the workers will be processed in up to three days."
"Baga, we can't execute them!" Yamashita Fengwen said urgently, "Send them to Changbai Mountain!"
"Nani?" Hyōtaro Kimura on the other side of the phone was obviously confused, "Sent to Changbai Mountain?"
"That's right, send it to Changbai Mountain and let him continue to build the fortress!" Yamashita Fengwen said, "I want to build a blockade ditch surrounding Changbai Mountain and completely trap Xu Rui's troops in Changbai Mountain!"
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro said, "I'll take care of my humble position."
"Hey!" Yamashita Fengwen put down the phone and said to Kobayashi Asaburo in front of him, "Kobayashi-kun, I'm afraid you have to take care of this matter personally. The basic framework of the blockade ditch surrounding Changbai Mountain must be built within a month.
, if the workers transferred from North Manchuria are not enough, you can consider recruiting a group of workers from North Korea. It is better not to touch South Manchuria, especially the area around Fengtian, to avoid triggering a wider wave of resistance!"
"Hai." Asaburo Kobayashi paused, turned around and left.
Watching Asaburo Kobayashi leave, Yamashita Fengwen called his adjutant in again and asked him to pack his bags. The old Japanese was about to leave for Liuhe to command the pursuit of Xu Rui's troops at close range. Yamashita Fengwen knew very well that to deal with Xu Rui,
Simply pursuing and suppressing or encircling is useless, both must be done in parallel, and both must be paid equal attention to!
…
Tonghua, the headquarters of the New Regiment.
After realizing the problem, Xu Rui couldn't sleep a wink all night.
Digua heard Xu Rui's tossing and turning outside and said, "Captain, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Can't sleep." Xu Rui simply turned over and sat up, walked to the window and looked at the dark night outside.
Digua sat up and walked to the window to look at the deep night outside and asked, "Is it because of the food?"
"Yes, because of the food." Xu Rui sighed and added, "Due to the sudden incident, I didn't have time to conduct an in-depth investigation of the situation in the Changbai Mountain Area. It wasn't until I entered the Changbai Mountain Area that I discovered that the area had already been occupied by bandits.
It’s so ruined that a large army cannot stand here at all.”
Digua suddenly made a sound and said: "Captain, isn't this simple?"
"Simple?" Xu Rui said angrily, "You have such a bad tone, how can you make it simple?"
Digua said: "The people in the Changbai Mountain area have been harmed by bandits, so the bandits here must be extremely rich. Let's just eat what the bandits have, right? It just so happens that we can also suppress the bandits for the people in the Changbai Mountain area."
"It's easy for you to say." Xu Rui snorted, "But the problem is that most of the bandit nests are hidden in the old forests, even on steep mountains, and the locations are scattered everywhere. It is very difficult to clear them out. What's even more troublesome is
It takes time, and we don’t have much time now, the Japanese army is always chasing us.”
But Di Gua waved his hand and said, "Captain, you didn't understand what I meant."
"What?" Xu Rui said, "Then what do you mean?"
Digua didn't answer and asked instead: "Commander, let me ask you, why are we suppressing the bandits?"
"Of course it's to eliminate harm for the people." Xu Rui said. Seeing Sweet Potato rolling his eyes, he continued, "Of course, we can also get some food by the way."
Digua said: "Where can I put the food I got? I can't take it away."
Xu Rui said: "Build secret camps and hide the food that could not be taken away. This is what the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance did back then. Relying on each secret camp, the Anti-Japanese Alliance persisted despite the siege and interception of 200,000 Japanese soldiers.
It took nearly ten years! It was not until last year that the Kwantung Army was finally suppressed by the despicable means of buying off traitors."
"Isn't this the end!" Digua slapped his thigh and said, "After robbing the food, we have to hide it in the secret camp. The main purpose of building the secret camp is to store food. Why don't we go one step at a time and directly transform each bandit's nest into a secret camp?"
A secret camp? You just said that most of the locations of bandit dens are very secret. As long as all the bandits on each hilltop are killed, almost no one will know the location of the bandit dens. Such a secret camp is even more secretive than the one we built ourselves.
Safety."
When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately froze there, yes, why didn't he think of this level?
Speaking of which, Xu Rui also fell into a fixed mindset, but fortunately, he was awakened by Di Gua's words.
"That's right!" Xu Rui reacted, slapped Di Gua hard on the back of the head, and said with a smile, "Okay, your kid is much smarter now than before."
"Captain, you hit me on the head again!" Digua said angrily, "I will become stupid!"
"Well, you must pay attention to it in the future." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Call the veteran over immediately!"
But Di Gua didn't move. He went back outside and poked Zhuo Ligetu in the neighboring bunk. Zhuo Li Getu was sleeping soundly, but he sat up with a groan after being poked by Di Gua's finger. Then he reached out and touched under the pillow.
He fired a gun, but was stopped by Di Gua.
Digua pressed Zhuo Ligetu's hand and said angrily: "Atu, the leader asked you to call Captain Leng over."
Zhuo Ligetu didn't think much about it, wiped the irritation flowing from the corner of his mouth, and turned around.
Not long after, Leng Tiefeng rushed over and asked loudly: "Old Xu, what's so urgent?"
Xu Rui didn't explain too much and said directly: "Veteran, please quickly gather the Langya Brigade and take action!"
As soon as he heard about the action, Leng Tiefeng's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He immediately turned back to the station of the Langya Brigade and blew the assembly whistle in the yard. As soon as the sharp whistle sounded, the sleeping Langya team members
They woke up one after another, got up and rushed into the yard quickly. It only took less than two minutes to complete the gathering.
