Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1181 Weakness
The battle in Xi'an started two hours later.

To be exact, it is north of Xi'an... The devils moved north with a division, and were blocked by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas not long after.

The battle was not big, and the Eighth Route Army had only one company fighting a blocking battle on the high ground, and withdrew from the position shortly after the battle started.

Obviously this is just harassment of devils.

But it was precisely this kind of battle that caused the head of the 91st Division, Ishihara Tomoaki, who implemented the interspersed, a headache.

Because Tomoaki Ishihara knew that if the Eighth Route Army fled into the mountains at night after firing a few shots, it meant that they were prepared... If they were not prepared, the Eighth Route Army would usually fight to the end.

It's a good fight to the death, the imperial army only needs one interspersed encirclement to wipe out this enemy army on this high ground.

But now, they fled to the mountains and disappeared. Should the imperial army pursue them or not?
Don't chase, they will come back at any time to attack the supply line of the 91st Division.

Let's chase, how many troops should we send to chase?
If you send less, you may return without success, and may even be annihilated by the enemy.

There are too many troops, such as two teams outflanking...the two teams only have more than a hundred people, which may not be a big deal for a division, but if there is a little bit here, the 91st Division's strength will be dispersed, right? up?

After thinking about it for a while, Tomoaki Ishihara made a compromise decision: "Leave a small team to garrison the high ground to prevent the enemy from returning and protect the supply line!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded, and immediately assigned a small team to stay and garrison.

At the same time, Tomoaki Ishihara sent a report to Ningji Okamura: "The Eighth Route Army may have noticed our army's penetration. The suddenness of the battle should no longer exist. Please move forward at full speed!"

Okamura Ningji was taken aback when he saw this information, and then cursed: "Bastard, this must be information from the recalcitrant army to the Eighth Route Army!"

It was useless for Neji Okamura to scold. When he knew that Tokyo's strategic goal was to eliminate all resistance forces in China and occupy the entire territory of China, he knew that this day would come.

For a long time, Okamura Ningji paid great attention to the use of the contradiction between the recalcitrant army and the Eighth Route Army, so the imperial army did not fight the recalcitrant army when fighting the recalcitrant army, and did not fight the recalcitrant army or even joined forces with the recalcitrant army when encircling the Eighth Route Army.

But this is just a trick by Okamura Neji to pull one faction against another. Only organizations like the stubborn army that only care about immediate interests and short-sightedness will be fooled again and again.

Now, if the strategic goal is to occupy the entire territory of China and it is a goal that is required to be achieved in a short period of time, then of course we must tear off the disguise and fight in an all-out manner.

Neiji Okamura didn't think too much, and called back: "Go at full speed, we must hit Yuncheng within a week!"

It is a full 300 kilometers from Xi'an to Yuncheng, and to reach Yuncheng within a week, this requires the 91st Division to advance more than [-] kilometers a day.

This is possible if the Eighth Route Army is not prepared, and it may even be faster.

But if the Eighth Route Army is prepared... just guerrilla warfare on the high ground along the way can make the 91st Division uneasy.

Although Ishihara Tomoaki knew this, he still answered "Yes!", and then waved his hand and ordered: "Full speed ahead!"

When the battle in the direction of Xi'an gradually unfolded, there was a feeling that the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind was overwhelming in the direction of Daqingshan.

The devils have not launched an attack, but all kinds of information still fly to Wang Xuexin's office like a snowflake:

"The devil's artillery unit is going forward for reinforcements, and the target is likely to be a steel factory!"

"The Devil's 178th Infantry Regiment rushed to position [-], twenty miles away from the steel factory!"

"I found the devil's night fighter plane, but it didn't fire. It's probably a reconnaissance activity!"

……

The main force of the devils was directed at the steel plant, which was expected by Wang Xuexin.

Because there is an airport in the steel factory, the devils only need to push the defense line forward a few miles and put the artillery a dozen miles away, and they can block the airport with artillery. The outcome has been decided.

What's more, there are "high fires" that devils are very afraid of near the steel plant.

Since the devil thinks so, Wang Xuexin thinks that he can give the enemy a "surprise" by showing his weakness.

He looked at the map and thought for a while, then ordered: "Order the independent regiment, be prepared to abandon the position, and retreat to the steel plant under cover after the battle begins!"

Li Yunlong couldn't understand this order immediately.

"What? Retreat?" Li Yunlong looked at the telegram and couldn't help but bewildered. He asked the correspondent: "Did you decode it wrong? You actually asked me to retreat?"

The correspondent hurriedly replied: "Leader, we have confirmed several times, we are retreating!"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a while, then took off his hat and sat back on the chair in a muffled voice.

Zhao Gang stepped forward to persuade: "Old Li, Commander Wang has the idea of ​​Commander Wang, he is in charge of the overall situation..."

"I'm talking about Lao Zhao!" Li Yunlong raised his head abruptly, and said with a look of disbelief: "In the past, Xiaobei always retreated here and there, and I could bear it. At that time, our equipment was not as good as others, so we retreated and avoided It's easier to fight after the enemy's sharpness. But now... look at us..."

Speaking of which, Li Yunlong patted the bursting rifle in his hand, and said: "We have this guy, and we also have planes and tanks. What is worse than devils? If you want to guard the steel plant, you need to pinch the river snail with three fingers to hold it steady." Take? Withdraw under this situation, and even withdraw to the steel plant... What if the devil makes dumplings for you?"

What Li Yunlong said was not unreasonable.

Although the steel factory is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the surrounding area is open and there are no obstacles, it is also suitable for the devils to encircle it.

Zhao Gang laughed: "Look at what you said, you just said that we have this and that, and we are afraid that the devil will make dumplings? Can the devil make dumplings?"

Li Yunlong let out an "ah" and replied: "Anyway, I can't do it, this battle is suffocating!"

At this moment, Zhao just understood that Li Yunlong was not afraid of being made dumplings by the devil at all, it was just his excuse, he just wanted to have a good time.

At this time, the correspondent sent another telegram, and the telegram was still from Wang Xuexin: "After the independent regiment withdraws into the steel plant, prepare for interspersed operations!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he saw the order, and he jumped up from his chair: "Interlude combat? Does this mean... you want to hit the devils?"

Then he thought about it carefully, and then he laughed "haha", and praised: "This is a good move, Xiao Dongbei is a fucking character!"

Zhao Gang didn't understand. Why is it the same order, but with an interlude added? Why is Li Yunlong's attitude different?

But after thinking about it again: it should be because of the battle that made him succeed like this!
Zhao Gang still didn't understand the key point: Wang Xuexin had artificially found a weak point in the devil's defense.
