At the same time, at the headquarters of the Japanese Far Eastern Army in Liuhe.
Yamashita Fengwen is always paying attention to the movements of the new group.
Kobayashi Asaburo pointed at the map and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the main force of Xu Rui's new regiment has passed Baishan County and is heading towards Linjiang. During this period, there was no conflict with the bandits, but the 38th Division was attacked.
After receiving a tenacious resistance from the bandits entrenched in Baishan County, the imperial army is currently fighting with the bandits in the streets and houses of Baishan County."
"Street fighting?" Yamashita Fengwen asked, "When did the bandits become so tenacious?"
"Hai." Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "The reaction of the bandits in Baishan County is indeed a bit abnormal."
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen said angrily, "The distance between the 38th Division and Xu Rui's new regiment has already stretched for half a day. This time they are blocked by bandits again, and the distance will continue to be extended.
Widen it! As the distance widens, endless variables will be added. Order the 38th Division to defeat the bandits in the city as soon as possible and pass through Baishan County!"
"Hai!" Kobayashi Asaburo said loudly, turned around and hurried to the communications office.
Yamashita Fengwen's eyes fell on the map again. He first drew a line on the map with a pencil, then frowned and said to himself: "Linjiang? Is the new regiment going to move into North Korea?"
…
Let's talk about He Shuya again. He rode a fast horse and rode quickly for less than two hours before he caught up with Wang Husheng and his party.
He Shuya conveyed Zhen Sanjiang's goodwill to Wang Husheng, and then said: "Political Commissar, I think it is feasible! This will not only improve the mobility of the troops, but will also be good for the wounded and help them recover! Otherwise, let the wounded follow the regiment like this
The main force is marching and without a chance to rest, the injuries will only become more serious!"
Wang Husheng hesitated, frowned and said, "The question is, are the bandits reliable?"
He Shuya said confidently: "I dare not say anything about other bandits, but these bandits in Zhensanjiang can still be trusted, otherwise they would not offer to help us stop the Japanese! When I left Baishan County, they
We have already engaged the Japs' vanguard."
"I'll think about it again." Wang Husheng waved his hand and said, "What's the next step for the army? Shuya, you can tell me now, right?"
Shi Changqing, who was following him, also asked: "Yeah, you're not really going to Linjiang, are you?"
Linjiang is on the border between China and North Korea. After passing Linjiang County, you enter North Korea. North Korea and Northeast China are two different things. North Korea has been occupied by Japan for many years, and imperial education has been in place for more than half a century, so they are new
It is impossible for a group to get the support of local people in North Korea, and they may even be attacked by local people.
He Shuya said: "The main force of the regiment will definitely not go to Linjiang, but your fifth battalion must go."
"What do you mean?" Shi Changqing asked blankly, "Our fifth battalion has to go to Linjiang, but the main force of the regiment won't go?"
He Shuya said: "It means that your fifth battalion will soon act alone, pretending to be the main force of the new regiment, and lead the Japanese pursuers to Linjiang and North Korea."
Shi Changqing said in surprise: "Let our fifth battalion pretend to be the main force of the regiment and lead the Japanese pursuers towards Linjiang?"
Seeing He Shuya nodding, Shi Changqing asked again: "Is this possible? There are reconnaissance planes of the Japs in the sky. Seeing that there are only so many people in our marching column, won't the secret be exposed?"
He Shuya nodded and said, "So, you can only march at night."
After a pause, He Shuya added: "And when marching, we need to light more torches and widen the distance, so that more than 800 people can even form a formation of more than 8,000 people!"
"Only marching at night?" Shi Changqing said, "Then the Japanese will catch up sooner or later."
"You just need to lead the Japanese pursuers into the border between China and North Korea." He Shuya said, "Then you can go directly into the old forest and go to Hunchun to join the regiment leader. After the Japanese realize that they have been tricked, they will no longer pay attention.
If you put it on your fifth battalion, what’s more, even if the Japanese want to continue to pursue you, they won’t be able to catch up with you.”
"If there are no baggage and wounded, it would be easy for our fifth battalion to get rid of the Japanese alone." Shi Changqing snorted and said, "But after our fifth battalion leaves, where will the main force of the regiment go?"
"You don't have to worry about it." He Shuya said, "You just need to take Wuying to Hunchun."
He Shuya had no intention of explaining, and Wang Husheng didn't say much, so Shi Changqing could only lead his troops and leave first.
When Shi Changqing led the fifth battalion far away and the sky turned completely dark, He Shuya led the troops onto another road, the road leading to Fusong. By this time, Wang Husheng had already guessed He Shuya's intention. This was actually true and false.
The plan was to use Shi Changqing's false target to lure away the Japs, and then the main force of the regiment would move in another direction. By the time the Japs discovered something was wrong, the main force of the new regiment would have already gone far away.
Of course, in order to hide their presence, from now on, both Shi Changqing's fifth battalion and the main force of the new regiment can only march at night. This is the main reason why He Shuya deliberately keeps a distance of two to three days from the Japanese.
, because if we don’t keep a certain distance, we can only march at night, and we will be overtaken by the Japs before the real-life strategy works.
…
One night passed, and the main force of the Japanese 38th Division was still unable to pass through Baishan County.
After receiving the telegram, Yamashita Fengfumi was very anxious, but what made him even more anxious was that the aviation scout reported that the main force of the new regiment had suddenly lost its whereabouts!
Kobayashi Asaburo guessed and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the new group must be hiding."
"Impossible." Yamashita Fengwen categorically shook his head and said, "Xu Rui can't be so stupid as to think that by hiding in a ravine, the imperial army will not be able to find them. If he is so stupid, he can't become an enemy of the empire.
!”
Asaburo Kobayashi thought about it again, and suddenly said excitedly: "Ah, I understand, the new regiment must have reversed day and night, from marching during the day and camping at night to marching at night and camping during the day, so that they can escape
The aerial reconnaissance of the Imperial Army, this guy is really cunning."
"Well, it's possible." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, and then said with a ferocious smile, "However, if Xu Rui thinks that he can avoid the imperial army's aerial reconnaissance by turning day and night, he is too naive! They will march at night after all.
Do you want to light a torch? As long as you light a torch, you will still be detected by the Imperial Army's aviation reconnaissance!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused, "Aviation reconnaissance troops can also be dispatched at night."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily and added, "Order the Third Flying Regiment to immediately dispatch a sufficient number of reconnaissance planes to conduct blanket night reconnaissance of the area near Linjiang!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi nodded once again, turned around and left.
After Yamashita Fengwen's order was issued, the Third Flying Regiment immediately dispatched reconnaissance planes from Xingjing, Fengtian and Pyongyang to conduct night reconnaissance near Linjiang. About two hours later, the Third Flying Regiment came
The news is that the main force of the new group has been found.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the aviation reconnaissance force has discovered the whereabouts of the new regiment." Kobayashi Asaburo walked into Yamashita Fengwen's office excitedly and reported to Yamashita Fengwen who was looking at the map, "This guy Xu Rui is really cunning.
It really turned day and night upside down, allowing the troops to hide during the day but come out and march at night."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen said happily, "Where is the new group now?"
Kobayashi Asaburo said: "The new regiment has now bypassed Linjiang County and is heading towards Sidaogou Town."
Yamashita Fengwen took a ruler and measured it, and found that the straight-line distance from Baishan County to Sidaogou was more than 100 kilometers. Considering the rugged mountain road, the actual distance was more than twice the distance on the map. He immediately said angrily: "Eight
Ga, this means that the imperial army has been pushed back by the new regiment for nearly two days!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "Fortunately, the direction of the New Regiment's escape is North Korea. North Korea is no better than Manchukuo. After the New Regiment enters North Korea, it is impossible to gain the support of the people like it did in Manchukuo!
More importantly, the imperial army has built a strong blockade ditch near Huishan, and it will not be easy for the new regiment to cross the blockade ditch!"
"Not necessarily!" Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and said, "The new regiment may just be a false shot. After passing Huishan, they immediately turn north and can re-enter Fusong County in Liaoning Province."
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."
Yamashita Fengwen said again: "Mr. Xiaolin, call the 38th Division immediately and ask them to capture Baishan County as soon as possible, and then catch up with the new regiment as soon as possible. You must not give the other side any chance to breathe!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi nodded heavily, then turned around and walked away.
As soon as Asaburo Kobayashi left, Hyoutarou Kimura came in again.
"Kimura-kun, are you here?" Seeing Hyōtaro Kimura come in, Yamashita Fengwen took the initiative to stand up and greet him, "Is the situation in Fengtian and dozens of surrounding counties under control?"
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro paused and said, "We've basically got it under control."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily and said, "Kimura-kun, thank you for your hard work."
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro paused again and said humbly, "It is my greatest honor to serve the empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Haha, Kimura-kun is really loyal to the king and the country." Yamashita Fengfumi patted Kimura Hyoutarou on the shoulder and said, "Then what specific plans does Kimura-kun have next? Can you tell me about it?"
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro paused for the third time and said, "The next step is to resume industrial production in Fengtian and dozens of surrounding counties as soon as possible. In particular, the production at the Fengtian Ordnance Factory must resume as soon as possible."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, "Thank you for your hard work Kimura-kun."
