Chapter 1283 Chief Yan still wants to be a fisherman
"Not bad!" the deputy commander affirmed.
"Comrade Wang Ping's proposal is still too conservative."
"Without reinforcements from southwestern Shanxi or reinforcements from other war zones, Okamura Neiji's sweep will undoubtedly fail. Regardless of whether there is intelligence to prove whether Okamura Neiji intends to end this sweep, we should do it
So ready to beat up the drowned dog."
"The judgment is correct. The Japanese North China Front will definitely suffer heavy losses due to our pursuit. We can also seize the opportunity to further weaken the enemy's strength!"
"My judgment was wrong. We didn't suffer any losses. It's just that the troops had to travel more and work harder!"
"Chief of Staff, immediately give an order to the troops that can be contacted at the headquarters. The Japs want 3 to withdraw from our base area, end this sweep, and let them be prepared to beat up the fallen dogs, hunt down the Japs, and recapture the base areas occupied by the Japs. At the same time,
, find a way to further expand our base area and kill a large number of Japanese troops!"
At the World War II Area Headquarters, looking at the telegram sent by the Chief of Staff, Commander Yan sighed and said: "The Eighth Route Army is too strong. There are so many Japanese and puppet troops who will be wiped out at any time. They have completely become a phenomenon in North China!"
The chief of staff frowned and asked: "The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army cannot be underestimated. It has been able to survive the heavy raids by hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Japanese puppet troops, and it can also seize the opportunity to launch a war to annihilate the Japanese. However, this local counterattack is far away from the Jin Dynasty.
Several hundred kilometers to the southwest, it probably has nothing to do with the Japanese suddenly turning against us!"
"Of course it does matter!" Chief Yan affirmed.
But he did not answer directly. Instead, he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Isn't there any news from our insiders lurking in the Japanese North China Front Headquarters?"
"If I guessed correctly, Okamura Nei is going to admit defeat!"
"How is that possible~" the chief of staff retorted with a look of disbelief.
Just as he was about to continue talking, the director of the intelligence department rushed in with a very solemn expression.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, urgent call from Peking... The Japanese North China Front is formulating a plan to fully withdraw from the Eighth Route Army base area and end this great sweep!"
"How is that possible?" The chief of staff opened his mouth with a look of shock.
He didn't expect that Commander Yan's judgment was right.
Just wanted to ask why? Commander Yan has already started giving orders.
"Ningji Okamura is worthy of being the commander of the Japanese North China Front. He has great vision and decisiveness in killing..."
"Although the reputation of the North China Front Army will be greatly affected by the sudden retreat of the troops. However, he can minimize the casualties and losses of the troops!"
"Now everything is clear. In this major sweep against the Eighth Route Army, Okamura Neji lost because of the local counterattack launched by the Eighth Route Army. Then there is no need to continue to carry the Japanese Kato Division that is preparing to leave southwest Shanxi!"
"Linfen City is undoubtedly the best place for the Japanese Kato Division to stay in southwestern Shanxi and defend it!"
"Some time ago, our Jinsui Army threatened the Japanese more than once because they belonged to us. Now that they have not left, they just seized the opportunity to retaliate against us and teach us a lesson. Then there was the incident of the trading force being raided by the Eighth Route Army.
occur!"
The chief of staff finally showed an expression of realization on his face.
But he quickly asked with a face full of reluctance: "Then 10 million kilograms of grain and thousands of troops were lost in vain?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Commander Yan, who had suffered several losses from the Japanese in a row, became angry when he mentioned this incident and retorted angrily.
The Jinsui Army is different from the Eighth Route Army. They were established by themselves, and they are also their capital to gain a foothold in this troubled world.
Having lost so many troops and food all at once, Commander Yan was more heartbroken than anyone else.
But he didn't dare to retaliate, and he didn't have the capital to retaliate.
Seeing the chief of staff standing nearby with a sullen face and saying nothing, Commander Yan continued to curse: "I also want to fight the Japanese, snatch back the lost food, and avenge the brothers who died in the war."
"But our Jinsui Army only has this little wealth, how many troops do you plan to use to retaliate!"
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or more troops!"
"There are still more than 10,000 people in the Japanese Kato Division. More importantly, they can receive aircraft reinforcements anytime and anywhere."
"If there are fewer troops to retaliate, they will be giving military exploits and guns to the Japanese. If there are too many troops to retaliate, even if they can win, the troops will suffer heavy losses!"
"According to the casualty ratio we have been experiencing in our battles with the Japanese, if we want to kill Kato's division, we will have to pay at least 30,000 casualties, and they are all elite main forces!"
"Think about it, after our Jinsui Army lost more than 30,000 elites at once, will Shanxi in the future still be the Shanxi of our Jinsui Army!"
"I dare not say anything else. The hat of commander-in-chief of the World War II zone will definitely be taken off my head by Chongqing immediately!"
"Chief of Staff, I'm not an old man and I don't want to retaliate. It's just that we don't have the strength to retaliate!"
The chief of staff was silent for a long time before replying: "Forgive me, Commander, I was too impulsive!"
"I have a suggestion. Since our Jinsui Army cannot retaliate against the Kato Division, let the Eighth Route Army take revenge!"
"Immediately report the intelligence we have to the Eighth Route Army. I believe that the Eighth Route Army will definitely seize the opportunity to beat up the Japanese and teach the Japanese a lesson!"
"No!" Chief Yan's face suddenly became serious and he refused without hesitation!
"The reason Okamura Neiji chose to withdraw is because the Japanese North China Front is no longer a match for the Eighth Route Army. He needs time to rest and replenish his troops and equipment!"
"If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to beat them up at this time, the Japanese losses will definitely be greater. By then, the entire North China will become a situation dominated by the Eighth Route Army! This is not the outcome that our Jinsui Army wants to see.
!”
"The best outcome would be for the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese to fight and both sides would suffer, while our Shanxi-Sui Army reaps the benefits!"
"Order the frontline troops to stop in Guangxiang Town and stand by. Without orders from the headquarters, since we can't take a step back, we can't take a step forward to attack, let alone take the initiative to provoke the Japanese!"
"As for the intelligence that the Intelligence Department just received from Peiping, we will pretend that we have never seen it and forget about it!"
"If the Japanese want to retreat, let them retreat. Whether the Eighth Route Army can seize the opportunity and beat up the drowned dog depends on their fate!"
"But from the perspective of our Jinsui Army, we definitely don't want the Japanese to suffer any more losses!"
"Because I still want them to regain their strength quickly and launch a new round of large-scale raids on the Eighth Route Army. If the two armies fight against each other, both sides will suffer losses!"
"Only in this way can our Jinsui Army reap the benefits and regain control of Shanxi at the minimum cost!"
