Chapter 608 Kazuki Yamamoto's plan!

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

North China Front Army First Army Command.

"General."

"This is my plan to destroy the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the people of China, and to cut off the Eighth Route Army's aid channels."

Major General Kazuki Yamamoto held a folder in his hand and handed it to Yoshio Iwamatsu, Commander of the First Army with both hands, without the slightest ups and downs in his voice.

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded slightly, then took the folder and read it.

In this raid, the Japanese army mobilized five divisions and more than 2 locust alliance troops, including a Type A division, but they failed to deal with the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

This put a lot of pressure on Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Although this raid was not from the First Army, the combat effectiveness displayed by the three regiments of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army was really astonishing.

Because the current first army is not as powerful as the five divisions and more than 2 locust alliances that swept Northwest Shanxi.

Fortunately, after this anti-sweeping campaign, the losses of the three regiments of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army were not small, and they could not threaten the First Army in a short time.

However, Li Yunlong has a channel for assistance. In three to six months at most, the three regiments in Northwest Shanxi will inevitably recover their strength, and even the main force will grow to 6 or [-] people.

At that time, the life of the first army may not be as simple as that.

Yoshio Iwamatsu is very strong, the 10th division is not the opponent of the new regiment, let alone the second-tier divisions under him.

Although he still has tens of thousands of puppet troops under his command, Yoshio Iwamatsu has never counted on the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops, so they can only be used as cannon fodder.

So Yoshio Iwamatsu decided not to sit still, but to take the initiative to kill the threat of the First Army.

As for the strategy of Masao Hanaya and Masao Miyazaki, he has already denied it.

Now let's look at Kazuki Yamamoto's plan.

It took nearly 20 minutes for Yoshio Iwamatsu to read Kazuki Yamamoto's plan. He closed the folder with a satisfied look on his face.

Seeing this, Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "General, only you and I know this battle plan, so there will never be a leak of the plan."

"Yoshi!" Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, "Yamamoto-kun, I can still trust you."

This battle plan is mainly about infiltration.

It is to select elite soldiers from the troops of the First Army and form a special advance team to infiltrate into the base area in Northwest Shanxi.

These advancing teams pretended to be the Eighth Route Army, and went everywhere to burn, kill, and loot.

The goal of the first stage of these advance teams is the base of Ding Weixin's second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment.

In Kazuki Yamamoto's view, the Eighth Route Army base areas of these two regiments must be extremely short of food now, and after a while, they will definitely starve to death everywhere.

At that time, the advance team infiltrated into the base areas of these two regiments, pretended to be the Eighth Route Army, burned, killed and looted everywhere, making the common people hate the Eighth Route Army to the bone, and destroying the prestige of the Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the common people.

The base area, which was already on the verge of collapse, would accelerate its collapse if the Japanese advance team set fire to it.

And once the relationship between the common people in northwest Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army breaks down, it will be difficult for Li Yunlong's new regiment to stay in northwest Shanxi, and the combat effectiveness of the new regiment will also be greatly affected, because almost all the soldiers of this regiment come from ordinary people.

Because once the common people no longer support or even hostile to the Xinyi Regiment, the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment will not continue to fight for the Eighth Route Army.

After a pause, Yoshio Iwamatsu said again: "Since this battle plan was formulated by Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Yamamoto will be fully responsible for the advancing team. As for the senior agents needed to cut off the aid channels of the Eighth Route Army... I will report to Okamura Commander, please."

Yoshio Iwamatsu also knew that Kazuki Yamamoto's combat plan still couldn't get rid of the framework of special operations.

However, the old devil intends to give it a try. Maybe a large army cannot solve the problem, and a sneak attack by a small group of troops may have a miraculous effect.

What if it succeeds?

As for cutting off Li Yunlong's aid channels, Kazuki Yamamoto's plan is to use senior agents of the empire to sneak into the new group to find out information.

If the level of senior agents is too low to obtain useful information, they will develop insiders in the new group.

There is no such level of agent Yamamoto Kazuki under his command, not even Yoshio Iwamatsu, only the level of Okamura Ningji.

"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head and was about to walk out.

Yoshio Iwamatsu called him to stop: "Yamamoto-kun, wait a minute."

Kazuki Yamamoto turned around and said, "Commander, is there anything else?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "I have just been notified that the North China Front Army Command decided to reorganize the 3rd Brigade into an independent 3rd Mixed Brigade, with four infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and one artillery brigade. The brigade engineer team and the engineer team have a total strength of about 5000 people, and the position of the commander of the independent 3rd mixed brigade is temporarily vacant. I wonder if Yamamoto-kun is interested?"

There are many officers with the rank of major general in the Japanese army, but not every major general can be a brigade commander.

Especially during the war, there were many officers who made meritorious service, and many major generals lined up as brigade commanders.

"Thank you General for cultivating!"

Kazuki Yamamoto just hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and thanked him. No fool would want such an opportunity.

What's more, since Yoshio Shinozuka was shot dead, Kazuki Yamamoto has always wanted to go out and lead the army alone, and this time he finally had a chance.

Kazuki Yamamoto walked to the door, turned around and bowed his head to Yoshio Iwamatsu, and said, "General, Yamamoto is really lucky to be able to serve the empire and His Majesty the Emperor under your command. Yamamoto will never forget your kindness in this lifetime..."

Although Kazuki Yamamoto said this to Yoshio Shinozuka before, this time Kazuki Yamamoto is really grateful to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Not only did he give him the opportunity to make meritorious service, he was promoted to major general, and he was also given the position of brigade commander.

I hope Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu will not follow in the footsteps of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka...

Turning around and walking out, Kazuki Yamamoto added in his heart.

……

Peiping.

North China Front Army Command.

"Report to the commander, the base camp has rejected your application."

In front of the square table, a communications staff officer was holding a telegram in his hand, reporting to Neji Okamura.

Neiji Okamura heard this, his face turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After he ordered five divisions to retreat from Northwest Shanxi, he continued to apply to the base camp, and then transferred five divisions from the Kwantung Army to attack Northwest Shanxi immediately.

The current Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has just gone through a big battle, and the locust army headed by the 1st Division will definitely solve it completely.

Okamura Ningji has deeply realized that the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi has become a thorn in the side of the North China Front Army. If it is not pulled out as soon as possible, there will be big problems.

However, he applied three times in a row, all of which were rejected by the base camp. The base camp not only rejected it, but also severely criticized him.

"idiot!"

Neiji Okamura suddenly broke out and threw all the documents on the table away.

Taking a deep breath, Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice: "Order, immediately transport the combat supplies hoarded in Datong back to Beiping."

Since Okamura Ningji applied to the base camp to send troops to attack Northwest Shanxi immediately, the combat supplies hoarded in Datong have not been moved.

Because once the base camp agrees, when the troops are transported by train, they can directly attack the northwest of Shanxi.

But now that the base camp has rejected the application, it is a bit dangerous for this batch of materials to be placed in Datong.

"Hi!" The communications officer suddenly lowered his head.
