Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 371 Surrounding
Okamura Ningji, who received the information, did think so.

He doesn't think this hand-throwing petrol bomb is a big deal, and his greater concern is Wang Xuexin himself.

"Honggou Mountain!" Okamura Ningji looked at the location on the map and said thoughtfully: "Wang Xuexin has returned to Honggou Mountain, that is to say, he is with Li Yunlong!"

"Your Excellency, General!" Shinozuka Yoshio saw that Neiji Okamura had an idea, so he asked, "Send Kazuki Yamamoto to get rid of them?"

No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka had such an idea.

At this time, the imperial army had made several small-scale attacks on the Eighth Route Army in other directions, and Shinozuka Yoshio knew the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army generally adopts the strategy of "fight if you can beat it, but run away if you can't".

The retreat of Honggou Mountain for more than a dozen kilometers is considered rare, and there are also retreats of 400 to [-] kilometers. (Note: Luliang Mountain is [-] kilometers long from north to south)

In principle, the imperial army could still move on.

The problem is that the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army is mostly mountainous, and guerrilla activities on both sides of the road are very frequent. The deeper the imperial army goes, the more difficult it is to provide logistics.

However, the Eighth Route Army could concentrate its forces in the mountains to encircle and annihilate the imperial army.

This flexible style of play made Okamura Ningji dare not act rashly.

At this time, if Neiji Okamura wants to win Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong...

According to Shinozuka Yoshio's thinking, it is impossible to use regular troops.

Because the regular troops pushed forward, Li Yunlong's independent regiment retreated after fighting for a while, and they were still unable to catch them after fighting and retreating.

Therefore, the best way should be to send a special agent brigade or a mainland advance team to carry out a sneak attack.

But Neiji Okamura shook his head.

"Xiaozuka-kun!" Neiji Okamura said, "Wang Xuexin has defeated Kazuki Yamamoto several times. Do you still have confidence in the secret service team?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was ashamed.

If the Yamamoto Secret Service team only failed once or twice, it could be said to be a coincidence, but this is the third time it has lost to Wang Xuexin.

Moreover, Yamamoto's special agent team was severely injured every time and had to be reorganized, which also made the special agent team's strength worse each time.

Shinozuka Yoshio did not have much confidence in the Secret Service.

"But Your Excellency General!" Yoshio Shinozuka: "If you don't use the secret service team, how can you deal with Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong?"

Neiji Okamura thought for a while, then pointed to the map and said, "The highway, Mr. Xiaozuka, the highway is our blockade line! We need to use the highway to separate the Honggoushan area... from the Eighth Route Army's defense line!"

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the area drawn by Neiji Okamura on the map and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

It was a roughly rectangular area, more than [-] kilometers long and more than [-] miles wide.

Yoshio Shinozuka understood what Neiji Okamura meant.

The imperial army is better at advancing along roads, because as long as there are roads, logistics is relatively easy, and tanks, artillery and even aircraft are still useful.

If you leave the road and go deep into the mountainous area, the logistics will basically have to rely on manpower and mules and horses for transportation. Tanks can’t drive heavy artillery, and it’s hard to guarantee the amount of bullets and shells. Coupled with the unfamiliar terrain, it’s impossible to get timely information. , so it is difficult to form an advantage over the Eighth Route Army.

The problem is that advancing along the road means occupying the high ground on both sides of the road and need to clear the guerrillas around the high ground to prevent surprise attacks.

Therefore, the area that Neji Okamura cut out was more than [-] kilometers long and [-] kilometers wide... At least one division must have tens of thousands of troops.

Shinozuka Yoshio would not be surprised if a division was invested in the main battle against the Eighth Route Army.

But this is against an independent regiment.

Use a division of imperial troops against an independent regiment!

To be exact, Neiji Okamura's target is only two people: one is Wang Xuexin and the other is Li Yunlong.

To be more precise, Neiji Okamura's goal is actually just one person: Wang Xuexin.Li Yunlong just incidentally.

Is this too exaggerated?
Use the strength of a division to formulate an encirclement plan alone, in order to encircle a person!

But Yoshio Shinozuka thought about it, and felt that Neiji Okamura was right.

This person is not an ordinary person, he is a person who has both tactics and strategies and can also develop equipment.

Without this person, the Eighth Route Army at this time may have been blocked by the imperial army in the base area and could not fight back.

But now, the Eighth Route Army is still making waves and even has a tendency to rise to a higher level.

No matter how much Yoshio Shinozuka thought, he couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army managed to do this!

If this person can be removed from the Eighth Route Army, it will indeed be of great benefit to the imperial army.

At this moment, a staff officer stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, our army defeated a group of the Eighth Route Army in Xiaobeizhuang, and found that they were carrying a large number of brand new 'China Reserve Coupons'!"

Neji Okamura was taken aback for a moment, looked at the staff in disbelief, and said, "Fake money? The Eighth Route Army is actually capable of producing counterfeit money?"

The Eighth Route Army had been using fake "China Reserve Coupons" to purchase supplies from enemy-occupied areas for some time. Okamura Neiji didn't realize until then that the reason was that the "China Reserve Coupons" used by the Eighth Route Army to purchase supplies were actually genuine coins. Even devil money printing experts can't tell the real money from the fake.

Shinozuka Yoshio also couldn't believe it.

He has personally seen the printed matter of the Eighth Route Army, which is very rough ink and handwritten products, which shows that their printing technology and equipment are extremely backward.

Make counterfeit banknotes on this basis?
But now a large number of "China Reserve Certificates" have been seized from the Eighth Route Army. If it is not counterfeit banknotes, what else can it be?
Soon, when these counterfeit banknotes were sent to Taiyuan, Okamura and Shinozuka were even more surprised...these counterfeit banknotes were exactly the same as the "China Reserve Notes", and no flaws could be found.

"The Eighth Route Army, how did they do it?" Neiji Okamura looked at these "central reserve coupons" and sighed: "No wonder our blockade and economic offensive against the Eighth Route Army did not work!"

The financial war has developed to the present, and the devil's offensive against the Eighth Route Army has indeed not had much effect.

Before the Eighth Route Army was still using legal currency, the devils plundered the base area with legal currency, and the Eighth Route Army did suffer losses.

But now the Eighth Route Army has banned legal currency and switched to border area currency.

Devils can also forge border currency, which is even easier to forge than legal currency.

The problem is that the border area currency is poor in paper quality and easy to make, and it will change from new currency to old currency soon after circulation.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army began to launch a new version.

So the way to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit coins is very simple... If the old version is still brand new, it is likely to be counterfeit.

The Eighth Route Army can play like this, but the devils can't.

Because each version of the "China Reserve Coupon" is elaborately produced and cost a lot of money, it is impossible to change the version at will like the Eighth Route Army.

The final result is that the devils with advanced printing technology and equipment cannot defeat the Eighth Route Army in the financial war.
