Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 590

The devils launched a full-scale attack around one o'clock in the afternoon that day.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that this "all-round attack" was just an attack on Yuncheng to cooperate with the devil's attack on the south side of Zhongtiao Mountain, but he realized that this was not the case when he received the information.

"Battalion Commander!" Chen Songyong reported, "The devils launched an attack on our Lvliangshan defense line at the same time."

Then another correspondent reported: "Battalion Commander, the devils have launched a sweeping raid on our Yizhong, Yidong and other bases!"

Xie Baoqing, who was listening, couldn't help but gasped, and said, "Is this devil going crazy? Fighting from all directions!"

Later, Wang Xuexin learned that not only the bases of the Eighth Route Army, but also the devils had launched a comprehensive raid on the middle areas they defined as "quasi-safe areas".

According to common sense, the devils are fighting all over the world at this time, and there should be as little movement as possible in China, but now they are uncharacteristically violent...

Then Wang Xuexin figured it out, the devils didn't want to go to war, but hoped to support war with war, that is, to plunder more supplies from the people to support their war against the Eighth Route Army.

The facts are indeed as Wang Xuexin thought.

Okamura Ningji's North China Front Army could hardly get supplies because of the fighting of the imperial army in various places.

But Neiji Okamura was not worried about this. He said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "For the issue of supplies, we can get them from the Chinese people! Send the 'Peaceful National Army', as well as the gendarmerie brigade and the independent brigade ...The war against the Chinese people will not consume much ammunition, but can also harvest a lot of supplies!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio replied, and passed on the order.

In fact, Neiji Okamura did this for other purposes besides looting supplies:

First, the bases of the Eighth Route Army are blooming everywhere, making it impossible for all forces of the Eighth Route Army to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

Second, most of the materials of the Eighth Route Army come from the common people. If the imperial army can plunder the common people first, it means that the supplies of the Eighth Route Army will also encounter difficulties.

Three, winter will soon enter, once this battle becomes a protracted war, insufficient supplies will cause a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the chief at the headquarters also guessed Neiji Okamura's intentions, and he asked the chief of staff: "How much food do we store?"

The chief of staff replied: "Thanks to Xiao Dongbei's foresight, he exchanged all the 1000 million US dollars in loans for food. Now our food reserves are enough for the entire army to survive the winter, and there are still more than 600 million US dollars of food not in place!"

Without even thinking about it, the chief ordered: "Speed ​​up and continue transporting food!"

"Yes!"

The chief is not worried that the stubborn army will not give food.

After all, these grains were not "given" by the stubborn army, but a loan from Yingjiang. If the stubborn army wanted to get stuck in the neck of the Eighth Route Army at this time, I am afraid that Yingjiang would not agree either from the perspective of the loan or its own interests.

Ying Jiang refused to agree, and the stubborn army had to transport food if they didn't want to.

What the chief is worried about is that if the war situation develops in a direction that is unfavorable to the Eighth Route Army, for example, the connection between Luliang Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and Xi'an is cut off by the devils, even if they want to transport food, they will be unable to transport it.

The battle in Yuncheng became intense from the very beginning. The devils gathered two heavy artillery brigades to bombard Yuncheng indiscriminately, and planes continued to howl and drop incendiary bombs over Yuncheng.

The north wing of Yuncheng was also violently attacked by a group of devils. Chu Yunfei led his 358th regiment to hold on to the position and did not retreat for half a step... Chu Yunfei knew that the safety of the north wing was directly related to whether Yuncheng could be defended, so Don't dare to retreat easily.

However, the soldiers of the 358th regiment also suffered heavy casualties under the superior artillery fire and aircraft bombing of the devils. More than a thousand people were killed or injured in less than two hours.

In his frontline headquarters, Chu Yunfei stared at the map on the table expressionlessly, even though the devil's shells were whistling overhead, he remained indifferent.

"Tuan Zuo!" Fang Ligong ran in through the thick smoke of the trench, and reported: "This battle is a bit evil. The devils concentrate their forces on us and not on the Eighth Route Army!"

Chu Yunfei nodded, he had already seen this.

To be precise, this is the case on the Zhongtiaoshan North Line.

Last time, the devils attacked Zhongtiao Mountain with the strategy of attacking Zhongtiao Mountain first and then encircling Yuncheng... Yuncheng is a fortified city with blockhouses and gun towers everywhere around it. Everyone knows that it is a tough nut to crack.

In contrast, although Zhongtiao Mountain also occupies a geographical advantage, at least the devils still have room to play... After the special forces penetrated into Zhongtiao Mountain, they attacked from both inside and outside.

So there was the last defeat.

Therefore, whether it was Yan Laoxi or Chu Yunfei this time, they all thought that the devil would attack Zhongtiao Mountain first like last time.

They also wanted to see the good show of the Eighth Route Army first.

As a result, the fact is exactly the opposite. As soon as the devil came up, he launched an overwhelming offensive against Yuncheng, but there was no movement at all in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.

After thinking for a while, Chu Yunfei sighed: "Ningji Okamura is indeed a formidable opponent, he is using a divisive scheme!"

"Divorce plan?" Fang Ligong was a little puzzled: "The group seat means... to separate our army from the Eight Route Army?"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Only fighting our army and not the Eighth Route Army is to make us think that the Eighth Route Army is unreliable, or that this battle is not worth fighting... We are fighting the devils in front of us, but the Eighth Route Army is on the mountain Watching a play..."

Fang Ligong said "Oh", he hadn't thought of this, but now that he heard Chu Yunfei say that, he realized that it was true.

If this trick of alienation is used on the Eighth Route Army, it may not be effective.

Because the Eighth Route Army has never complained about beating devils, they don't think that beating devils is a disadvantage, and even on the contrary, they often think that not letting devils be beaten is a disadvantage. .

In this case, if the devils attack the Eighth Route Army first, they will not be able to "separate".

But the Jinsui Army is different.

A considerable part of the Jinsui Army's soldiers are living on military pay, even Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment has many such soldiers.

Under such circumstances, they avoid wars if they can, and only confront the devils on the battlefield if they can't.

Now the devils only attack the Jinsui Army and not the Eighth Route Army, which will inevitably make them psychologically unbalanced.

Sure enough, after a while, the communication soldiers came to report: "Regimental seat, the commander of the third battalion, please see me!"

Chu Yunfei glanced at Fang Ligong, both of them knew that this was the devil's estrangement scheme, and the battalion commander immediately complained.

Fang Ligong asked: "Tuan Zuo, see you or not?"

"See you!" Chu Yunfei said without thinking, "Not only the third battalion commander, but also the other battalion commanders!"
