Chapter 1769 Fake News

Wang Xuexin's second method is to spread "false news" that the puppet army has surrendered in large numbers, as the chief guessed.

In fact, there are not many puppet troops in Xinjing who intend to surrender, and until now there are only more than a hundred people who have not reached the level of "batch".

This aspect is the cause of the puppet army itself.

Life in Xinjing is good, and many puppet soldiers hope to maintain this kind of life, so their belief in surrender is not strong.

On the other hand, it is difficult for the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army to develop in the environment of Xinjing... The middle and upper levels of Xinjing are full of devils and stickmen, and they account for a lot of them, and the management is very strict.

This directly led to some puppet troops who really wanted to surrender but could not find a way out, so they could only take one step at a time.

But only the Eighth Route Army knew about these situations, and the devils knew nothing about it.

What's more, it doesn't cost money to spread this "rumor", but it's just a few words or false information, so why not do it?
The third method after that is to cooperate with the previous step to implement an information blockade on Xinjing.

This step is very simple. It is to deploy an information interference device in several directions outside Xinjing, and then interfere with Xinjing day and night so that it cannot communicate with the outside world.

Zhang Zongping expressed doubts about the role Wang Xuexin could play in this step.

"Leader!" Zhang Zongping said: "After all, this is a city with an area of ​​more than 900 square kilometers. Even if we only go in and out and add radio interference, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to completely block it. Pass it into the city!"

Zhang Zongping is telling the truth, and the Eighth Route Army is especially good at this.

With an area of ​​more than 900 square kilometers, it is about 30 kilometers long and [-] kilometers wide.

The three mechanized regiments of the Eighth Route Army were stationed on the outer layer as a mobile force, and the three main force regiments plus two militia regiments surrounded the inner layer. There were also two main force regiments as mobile forces, with a total strength of more than 3000 people.

However, it is still difficult for these troops to encircle a city that is 30 kilometers long and wide: even if they encircle the city, the circumference is 120 kilometers, with an average distance of five meters for one person.

Of course, it is impossible to have an average distribution of five meters per person on the actual battlefield.

The defense line is divided into inner and outer layers, and there are several trenches in each layer of defense. Often, one or two platoons are concentrated in key parts, such as a small hill, and no troops are deployed within a range of 200 meters of firepower.

This will inevitably lead to many loopholes in the encirclement, that is, the devil's intelligence personnel or communication soldiers can still sneak into the city by taking advantage of the darkness.

If it doesn't work, it's okay to use flying pigeons to pass the book.

Or at night with searchlights and flashlights, the information can also be sent in.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to block the information of a large city and block it for a long time. There are many ways to break through these blockades and the cost is still very low.

But Wang Xuexin also knows this.

He replied: "I just hope they can pass the information in!"

"What?" Zhang Zongping didn't understand the meaning of Wang Xuexin's words. Since he wanted the devils to pass on the information, wouldn't it be unnecessary to block the information?
Wang Xuexin explained: "We spread the news that the puppet army has surrendered in batches. If we don't block the information on Xinjing, what do you think the devils will think?"

Zhang Zongping immediately understood that the so-called "information blockade" was actually to increase the credibility of the "puppet army's surrender".

Finally, on the basis of these methods, Wang Xuexin ordered the troops surrounding Xinjing to launch a low-intensity attack on it.

The order Wang Xuexin gave was "fire reconnaissance", which is a tentative attack to find out the enemy's firepower deployment.

Whether to shoot down or not depends on the actual situation. If you can shoot down, you can shoot down. If you can't shoot down, you don't force it.

Of course, this kind of offensive couldn't take down Xinjing, but it made the soldiers and civilians in Xinjing panic. The people who were still hesitating about fleeing made up their minds amidst the roar of shells and explosions.

On the other hand, Umezu Yoshijiro, who was at the border of the HLJ Dongning Fortress and was fighting against the bear, was a little panicked.

The Dongning Fortress is the largest military fortress built by the devils in the Northeast... In fact, it is not only the largest in the Northeast, but also the largest in Asia.

It is more than 110 kilometers wide and more than 70 kilometers deep. The entire fortress is divided into three parts: the combat area, the support area and the logistics support area. It is composed of 11 main mountain ranges. There are 7 permanent positions and more than 400 permanent fortifications. , 300 permanently prepared underground ammunition depots over 84 square meters.

However, what troubled Umezu Yoshijiro was that the Dongning Fortress and even other fortresses were all facing Mao Xiong, but now the Eighth Route Army entered the northeast from the rear... As a result, the fortress was completely useless.

For example, for the three major parts of Dongning Fortress, the logistics support area is placed inside, and the combat area and support area are placed on the first and second lines.

This is no problem for Mao Xiong, but if the Eighth Route Army attacks from behind, the logistics support area will become the front line.

But what makes Meizu Meijiro suffer is that he can't withdraw his army and return to the division to deal with the Eighth Route Army...

No one can be sure that the reason why Mao Xiong did not attack may be because he was afraid of the defense of these fortresses of the Kwantung Army. Once the empire withdrew its troops and vacated the fortress, the empire would not be able to defend Mao Xiong at all.

At that time, what the empire will have to face is likely to be the attack of the Eighth Route Army and Maoxiong, so there is no chance of winning at all.

But fortunately, with the reinforcements of the navy now, it shouldn't be a problem to solve this serious internal problem!
While Umezu Yoshijiro was staring at the map and repeatedly pondering every detail of the counterattack, the communications soldier reported: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is launching an attack on Xinjing!"

"What?" Umezu Yoshijiro was taken aback, the empire was about to launch a counterattack tomorrow, and the Eighth Route Army actually launched an attack on Xinjing at this time!
Umezu Yoshijiro immediately turned his gaze to Xinjing on the map, frowning slightly.

The chief of staff analyzed from the side: "Your Excellency, Xinjing is an important node in our army's counterattack. If Xinjing is captured by the Eighth Route Army, or the overall situation is settled before our army launches an offensive, then our army's counterattack plan is likely to Unable to achieve the intended goal!"

Umezu Yoshijiro nodded slightly.

The location of Xinjing happened to be at the northern point of the triangular protrusion formed by the Eighth Route Army's attack on Tonghua.

If the Eighth Route Army captured Xinjing, it would be equivalent to opening an important gap in the imperial encirclement. No matter how the imperial army encircled it, the Eighth Route Army could always withdraw from Xinjing.

That is a mechanized brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and there are at least nine other regiments with a total strength of more than [-] people. Just let them run away like this?
If this is the case, Umezu Yoshijiro's counterattack plan will face failure before it is implemented.

After thinking about it for a while, Umezu Yoshijiro said in a muffled voice: "Xinjing, it should be no problem to hold on for a day!"

If it can hold for a day, then the counterattack can proceed as planned, and Xinjing will also receive reinforcements at that time.

But the chief of staff did not answer for a long time...
