Chapter 258 Insidious Plan: Cage Strategy!
"Commander."

After receiving the reprimand and reading the telegram, Miyano Michiichi said bitterly: "Your Majesty knew so quickly!".

"The news of the broken jade in the Xianyuan Palace is probably caused by Xu Rui's clear-coded power-on."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded silently, most likely.

"His Majesty the Locust is furious. This is the second prince of the empire, and the jade is broken, and it was done by the same person."

Shinozuka Yoshinan gritted his teeth and said, "Moreover, the location of the jade fragment under the Xianyuan Palace is in the occupied area of ​​the 41st Division.".

"In this way, we are also responsible for the broken jade in the palace of Xianyuan."

Miyano Michi nodded, but the responsibility is not really that big.

After all, who would have thought that Xu Rui would have a way to go to the Shalu Valley to ambush, and also knew the itinerary of the special train that Boyan of the Xianyuan Palace took?
"Commander."

Miyano Michiichi had already read the content of the reprimand sent by the attendants of the Japanese Emperor's Imperial Study, thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, His Majesty Tian Locust did not order the removal of the commander's post.".

"Just let us take the blame and make meritorious deeds, and command the counterattack of the 41st Division and other departments. It's just three things, Commander, if we can't eradicate Xu Rui's troops, especially to capture Xu Rui, Your Majesty the Locust."

At the end, Miyano Michiichi stopped talking.

However, Shinozuka Yoshinan certainly understood what Miyano Michiichi didn't say.

The Bo Yanyu of the Xianyuan Palace is broken, this is the result that has already appeared.

Although the Japanese emperor was furious in the reprimand, the Japanese emperor did not intend to issue an order to remove Shinozuka Yoshinan as the commander of the First Army.

After all, Yoshinan Shinozuka was dismissed as the commander of the First Army, and he couldn't send someone to take over the Devil's First Army in a hurry.

Shinozuka Yoshinan knew that once the 41st Division and other units he mobilized by Shinozuka Yoshinan next, the second large-scale counterattack against Xu Rui and other enemy troops with heavy troops would still fail to succeed.

Then, the Japanese Emperor will definitely withdraw his post as the commander of the First Army of Shinozuka Yoshinan.

Thinking about this clearly, Shinozuka Yoshinan was secretly bitter.

In addition, Yoshino Shinozuka hated Xu Rui, whom he had never met before.

"Kitamura-san!"

In an angry tone, Shinozuka Yoshinan immediately said to Major Kitamura Junyi, the communications staff officer of the headquarters who was standing by, "Send a report to General Takeshita Taro, the commander of the 41st Division, and let him take a good look at the dead body under the palace of Haninin." .

"Tomorrow, send someone to send His Highness's body back to Yanjing City. At that time, the Front Army Command will send someone to use a transport plane to send it back to the mainland of the empire."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued: "In addition, General Takeshita Taro was ordered to order his 41st Division to take charge of all ministries, speed up, assemble, and prepare supplies such as food, grass and ammunition. After more than two weeks, When we arrive at Zhenting City, we will meet with the 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade."

"Let General Takeshita Taro speed up on this matter! If Xu Rui's troops cannot be dealt with next, or even the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, and the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I, Shinozuka Yoshinan, and Takeshita Taro and the others , can’t fall well.”

Seeing this, Major Kitamura Junyi said solemnly, "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Go!!!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand, signaling Major Kitamura Junyi to leave.

Kitamura Junyi paused heavily, then turned and returned to the communication office.

Seeing Kitamura Junyi walk away, Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, Xu Rui knows the itinerary of the special train under the palace of Xianyuan.".

"Furthermore, the long ambush in the Shalu Valley shows that this person knows the situation under the palace of the Xianyuan. And we know His Highness's itinerary from the front army headquarters, and we communicate with each other through several layers of encrypted radio."

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi suddenly had a terrible thought, and immediately said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, Xu Rui could not have deciphered the radio between us and the front army headquarters?".

"how is this possible?"

Yoshinan Shinozuka frowned and said: "The Front Army Command contacted us about the itinerary under the palace of Xianyuan, and they all used another set of encrypted codes for encrypted contact.".

"Even the top cracking technicians in the empire cannot decipher it in such a short period of time."

Miyano Michi gritted his teeth and said, "But Xu Rui just knew."

"This is the only possibility, otherwise, I don't think that Xu Rui has the strength to put the secret service in Yanjing City, or in the headquarters of my First Army. This is simply impossible!"

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan's face also darkened.

If Miyano Michiichi's guess is correct, Shinozuka Yoshinan suddenly remembered why the 36th Division and other units fought against Xu Rui and other units at any time during the battle, why the other party could mobilize troops at any time, ambush, and intercept the imperial army's attack combat troops.

Perhaps, Xu Rui's department already has a way to decipher the radio wave signals that were communicated between various departments of the imperial army.

Thinking of this, Yoshinan Shinozuka trembled all over, "It's too scary!"

"Does Xu Rui's troops have such strong radio decoding capabilities?"

When Miyano Michi heard Shinozuka Yoshinan's doubts, he said in a concentrated voice, "Commander, it's very possible."

"Especially now that the servants of the Xianyuan Palace are being ambushed in the Shalu Valley, and the incident of Yu Sui has strengthened my guess!"

"Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Xu Rui knew that the special train from Xianyuan Palace would arrive at Datong City!"

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice, "It is impossible to send spies to our headquarters or the front army headquarters to obtain this information."

"That's why we communicated with the Front Army Command about His Highness's itinerary by using several layers of encrypted codes for radio communication. Therefore, the most likely accident is that the radio communication was deciphered by the enemy."

"That's why Xu Rui commanded the ambush soldiers to ambush in the Killing Valley in advance."

After hearing the words, Shinozuka Yoshinan had already realized that Miyano Michiichi's guess was probably right.

In particular, according to Takeshita Taro's call, the ambush commanded by Xu Rui, who was ambushing in the Shalu Valley, had the strength of a battalion, and the firepower was fierce.

Therefore, this may be the reason for being able to know the itinerary of Xianyuan Palace Hirohiko.

"Damn Xu Rui."

Shinozuka Yoshinan gritted his teeth and said, "You actually killed two princes of our empire before and after.".

"Besides, it was also broadcasted in the clear code, and the face of the imperial army was slapped twice."

Miyano Michiichi nodded silently, but what else can he do?
Now, Xu Rui has commanded his ambush and retreated.

Even if he ordered Takeshita Taro, the commander of the 41st Division, to send troops to pursue him, he would not be able to catch up.

Therefore, the future will be long, and after the second heavy counterattack of the 41st Division and other departments, it will be the end of Xu Rui.

"Commander, now Xu Rui has led his ambush troops back. The 41st Division is now sending troops to pursue, but they can't catch up."

Miyano Michi spoke out what was in his heart, feeling extremely helpless.

"However, we can't wait for the 41st Division to be assembled. During the time when we arrived at Zhenting more than two weeks later, we didn't take any action."

Shinozuka Yoshinan walked to the table where the map was placed in the command room of the headquarters, then propped his hands on the table, looked at the map and thought for a while, and then said to Miyano Michiichi with a sinister expression.

Seeing Yinan Shinozuka's sinister expression, Miyano Michiichi immediately said: "The commander means to send troops to attack Xu Rui's troops in advance?".

"of course not!"

Yoshino Shinozuka shook his head, pointed to the map, and said: "Now order the 2nd Brigade, which has already met in Zhenting City, and the 16th Brigade to attack Xu Rui's troops. There is no chance of winning.".

"It is necessary to wait for the 41st Division to arrive at Zhenting City for a meeting in more than two weeks before launching a counterattack."

Seeing this, Miyano Michiichi asked: "What does the commander mean?".

"The broken jade in the palace of Xianyuan, this is what Xu Rui did, we have to react."

Yoshino Shinozuka proposed a sinister plan, and said to Chief of Staff Miyano Michiichi grimly: "I mean, a large-scale blockade of the area controlled by Xu Rui's headquarters.".

"Set checkpoints on the main traffic arteries and various small roads entering the control area of ​​​​Xu Rui's headquarters. Moreover, along the highway, the highway is used as a chain, the bunker is used as a lock, and supplemented by blockade ditches and blockade walls. From our The control area forms a net-like cage for Xu Rui and other enemy troops to compress and encircle the enemy. My purpose is to restrict the mobility of Xu Rui and other enemy troops, so that I can send troops to surprise attacks, attack piecemeal, and eat Xu Rui and other troops. Defend against small groups of troops everywhere."

After a pause, Yoshino Shinozuka said in a concentrated voice: "This strategy, I mean the cage strategy!".

"It's a good idea, Commander."

Hearing this, after thinking about it for a while, Michi Miyano nodded in agreement, but then raised doubts and said: "It's just the commander, if you want to build a blockade on a large scale.".

"The 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade may not be able to rely solely on Zhenting City. Moreover, it is necessary to build bunkers on the roads entering Xu Rui's headquarters and other defense areas. It will take time to build and garrison troops."

Shinozuka Yoshino waved his hands and said, "Building blockhouses and other heavy tasks can be done by the Imperial Association Army."

"The Royal Association Army we have is enough to carry out a preliminary blockade of Xu Rui's control area with bunkers in more than two weeks. Then, let the 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade be in the 41st Division When the regiments are assembled, before the Zhenting city is reconciled, small cavalry can be divided into small groups to form a mobile force, and they can block the approach in conjunction with the fortifications of the bunkers."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshinan continued, "I am also forcing Xu Rui to divide his troops."

"If Xu Rui doesn't want his territory to be so blocked, he must send troops to fight back."

"At that time, the 2nd Brigade and the 16th Brigade can concentrate their forces and take advantage of the opportunity to besiege and eat Xu Rui's elite. In this way, it can be regarded as our aggressiveness."

Michiko Miyano thought about it, and this is fine.

The heavy work of bunker construction and other work can be handed over to those Imperial Association Army troops.
