Chapter 138: Secret Competition!
"Not only that, officers and brigade commanders were selected from various troops in North China to observe the First Army's operations."
Speaking of which,
Yoshio Yuzuka, who had been looking down at the map, suddenly looked up and said to Colonel Yamamoto Ikki:
"Do you know why they came? Just to see you!"
Heard this news,
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki's eyes were full of surprise. At this point, he already knew that this was his chance.
As long as we can seize this opportunity, winning the recognition of everyone in the military is not a dream.
but,
As a qualified soldier, Yamamoto Ikki suppressed his inner excitement and asked calmly: "Excuse me, General, when will the leaders from North China arrive?"
Yoshio Yuzuka raised his eyes, showing a satisfied look, nodded and said: "I can see that you are very confident. The people from North China will be here soon, you should make preparations early!"
At this time, Yoshio Yuzuka looked at the teacup next to him.
Seeing this, the clever Yamamoto Ikki hurriedly and respectfully handed over the teacup.
"The North China garrison headquarters has been considering this matter, but the stupid behavior of the Yamazaki Battalion some time ago made the headquarters leaders extremely dissatisfied, and the Eighth Route Army is becoming more and more arrogant!"
"Therefore, this time North China intends to teach the Eighth Route Army a profound lesson. This matter has been put on the agenda, but no suitable candidate has been found." At this point, Yoshio Yuzuka took a sip of tea, looked at Yamamoto Ikki meaningfully and said,
"Headquarters has high hopes for you this time. You must seize this opportunity and never let North China down. Do you understand?"
Although Yoshio Yuzuka had a smile on his face, in Yamamoto Ikki's opinion, this smile made people feel a little cold.
After receiving the general's instructions,
Yamamoto Ikki bowed quickly and said seriously:
"Please rest assured, General. I will never let you down. I will let the officers and colleagues from North China experience an unprecedented combat training!"
Colonel Yamamoto Ikki's eyes were filled with confidence, even though he was frustrated by the annihilation of the Yamazaki Battalion.
But as long as there is an opportunity,
He would certainly seize the opportunity to demonstrate what he had learned throughout his life to the officers who came to observe.
Simultaneously,
We should also take this opportunity to win the recognition of leaders and colleagues in North China!
"Yoshi!"
Seeing Yamamoto Ikki so confident, Yoshio Yuzuka also admired it. Although the Yamazaki Battalion suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yaozigou,
but,
Colonel Yamamoto was by no means a brainless person, but a man of real talent and learning. He took this opportunity to win over the people and also to give Yamamoto a chance.
Putting down the teacup, Yoshio Yuzuka said meaningfully:
"The chief of staff of North China has a unique vision. He sent a battlefield observation group here to give you an opportunity, but also for North China's strategic considerations."
"Therefore, the First Army must not let the observation group down. I will formulate the strategy myself!" When he said this, Yoshio Yuzuka's eyes were full of firmness and determination.
This is a rare opportunity.
Whether it is Yamamoto Ikki or Ozuka Yoshio, we must hold on to them firmly.
After hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki
I became more aware of the responsibility I shouldered and immediately promised:
"Please rest assured, General. Since I cannot refuse, please have confidence in me. This battle must be fought according to my special tactics!"
Although he was confident in this special assault training,
However, if the First Army's support is not obtained, it is likely that the expected effect will not be achieved, and it will not be possible to win the recognition of the North China leaders.
therefore,
This aspect must be rigorous!
"approve!"
General Yoshio Yuzuka said only two words briefly, turned around, patted Colonel Yamamoto's shoulder meaningfully, and kept reminding him:
"You are an expert in special training. The North China delegation came here for your reputation. I will let the First Army fully support you!"
After hearing what Yoshio Yuzuka said, Yamamoto Ikki's worries finally disappeared.
As long as the First Army is serious enough in special training, it will definitely not disappoint the inspection team this time!
When Yamamoto Ikki was overwhelmed with emotion,
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka then turned to the Chief of Staff next to him and ordered: "Notify all departments immediately and quickly summarize all recent enemy dynamics to find a favorable opportunity for combat as soon as possible!"
When the chief of staff heard this, he immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Yes!"
……
now,
Neither the Japs, the Eighth Route Army, nor the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army of the Second War Zone made any major moves. Everyone observed each other and waited for changes.
As for the Guards,
Needless to say.
Because the guard regiment's base was located in the rear of the Eighth Route Army, it did not need to undertake any defensive tasks.
The current guard regiment is fully committed to special training, striving to complete the emergency special training within 20 days, and at the same time formulates a combat plan to go to Ninghai County to provide support.
Now,
The battlefield situation in Shanxi Province is complicated, with various forces competing secretly. Although it seems calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.
For a time,
The battle plans of all parties are unpredictable and have no place to use their strength.
but,
These are not important for now. We should follow our respective plans, test step by step, and make full preparations for strategic actions.
time flies,
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September. The 27th was close to the autumnal equinox. The temperature difference between day and night increased. In addition, the Eighth Route Army’s garrison was in the mountains, so the temperature changes were particularly significant.
Simultaneously,
The twenty-day deadline is less than ten days.
morning,
Qin Hai and Lao Jiang had just finished inspecting the troops and returned to the regiment headquarters, where they saw Chief of Staff You Hongwei and Deputy Regiment Commander Sun Chengde seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
“Captain!”
Seeing Qin Hai, everyone greeted him.
"How is it? Has the battle plan been drawn up?" Qin Hai asked as he entered the house.
Others followed closely behind.
ten days,
In order to finalize the final battle plan, Wang Tao, Sun Chengde and You Hongwei worked for a full ten days and finally finalized the final plan.
of course,
Qin Hai had also waited for a long time and attached great importance to the battle plan. In addition, he had to be fully prepared for the long march so that he would not lose his composure in the face of unexpected situations.
"Captain, based on these discussions, the final battle plan has been determined!"
After entering the operations room, Chief of Staff You Hongwei first handed the battle plan to the regiment commander, then walked to the map and began to plan the operations.
“The straight-line distance from Dawang Village to Ninghai County is only 90 kilometers, but in reality it takes about 120 kilometers to walk.”
"In order to ensure the safety of the route, we sent the reconnaissance battalion to make several trips back and forth, and we got to know all the conditions and enemy situations along the way, and finally selected this route."
When reporting, You Hongwei quickly drew a line on the map with a military flag.
"Most of this road is inside the base. Due to the terrain, we need to take a detour, but it is well concealed. Considering safety, this is the best route!"
As he spoke, You Hongwei pointed to the railway on the map and continued to introduce it.
"This is the railway. The transport troops will pass through here and also through three strongholds. However, the reconnaissance battalion has found out that these three strongholds are guarded by puppet troops with no more than 60 people."
"Relying on the special operations battalion and the reconnaissance battalion, we can definitely capture these three strongholds before the main force arrives!"
