Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 439 Lao Jiang Prepares for a Rainy Day (First Update!)

The chief of staff of the North China Front Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army walked into Shouyi's room in the temple full of confidence with the encirclement and suppression plan that the staff had just discussed.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the battle plan to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in North China has been completed, please take a look."

As soon as Terauchi Shou took over the encirclement and suppression plan, he began to analyze it against the map, and the chief of staff introduced it in due course.

"According to your wishes, Commander, this time we plan to deploy four divisions of the Imperial Army, two independent mixed brigades, one heavy artillery brigade, nine divisions of the Imperial Association Army and eight garrison regiments, with a total of 8 people to encircle and suppress The Eighth Route Army operating in North China."

"Among them, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army each account for half. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the siege troops from all walks of life, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army are almost all deployed on a one-to-one basis, except for the independent fourth mixed brigade stationed in Yangquan!"

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, we successfully penetrated all the way to the Eighth Route Army Arsenal to destroy it. There are a total of [-] offensive troops, of which the Imperial Army accounted for [-], and the Imperial Association Army accounted for only [-]. In addition, we also strengthened the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade. A battalion of field artillery and a battalion of cavalry!"

"This plan is well formulated, I agree!" When the chief of staff was about to continue the introduction, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly interrupted.

"While encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army's base area with heavy troops, at the same time, by surprise, they directly attacked the Eighth Route Army's arsenal and destroyed it!"

"Chief of Staff, I will sign, and you will immediately follow this plan to prepare for implementation! Time is running out, and I can only give you half a month to prepare. If you have any questions, report to me directly, and you must not delay the time for sending troops!"

At Jiang's official residence in Chongqing, Dai Li rushed over as soon as he received the news that the Japanese army was preparing to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in North China on a large scale, and told the information that was considered "good news" for Jiang.

"Principal, it took 16 days for the puppet army to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. This time, even if the Eighth Route Army does not die, it will take off a layer of skin!" Dai Li reported with a serious face, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Mother Xipi, this time the Japanese finally did their best!" Old Jiang said with a long sigh.

The rapid development of the Eighth Route Army in North China has made him feel a huge crisis.

Because his tentacles have not been able to extend to North China, Lao Jiang can only hope that the Japanese North China Front Army will help him restrict and control the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Japanese are the real enemy of the Chinese now, as the supreme commander of the Nationalist Government, what Lao Jiang values ​​most is his position.

Frowning, he ordered: "Yunong, you must pay close attention to the progress of the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression campaign, and the casualties of the two armies."

"When the time is right, your military commander can help!"

Although Dai Li thought in his heart that Lao Jiang's so-called help must be helping the Japanese weaken and attack the Eighth Route Army.

But to be cautious, he subconsciously asked: "Principal, who can you help?"

"All help!" Lao Jiang replied in a surprising way.

"Both losers are the result of this large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign that I most want to see. Do you understand, Yu Nong!"

Dai Li replied with a face of enlightenment: "Understood, the principal is wise. If the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army are both defeated, the guerrillas we plan to send to North China will definitely develop rapidly and become the backbone of North China's resistance against Japan!"

Lao Jiang nodded in affirmation and said, "That's right, that's what it means! Also, Yu Nong, how did you find out about the Eighth Route Army arsenal!"

"I've checked everything out, Principal!" Dai Li replied immediately.

"Principal, the person who set up and runs the arsenal must not have been imagined: a military background, and has not yet attended a university. More importantly, half a year ago, for him, the national government, Yan'an, and the Japanese army in North China sent telegrams for nearly five days war!"

"At first, I thought that Yan'an would freeze this person in order to reduce the impact. But I didn't expect that they would be so courageous, and let a soldier who had never engaged in military industry become the director of an arsenal factory!"

"However, to everyone's surprise, he managed to do it, and built an arsenal from scratch."

"From the beginning, a small workshop that could only make landmines and grenades, it gradually developed into a small arsenal that can repair firearms and reload bullets, and finally developed into a large arsenal that can now produce all light weapons and most ammunition!"

"More importantly, he also serves as the head of the arsenal's security regiment. The devil's two large-scale air strikes failed, all of which were his work!"

"In addition, there is information that he proposed the last battle of Taiyuan, and he directly commanded the troops to enter Taiyuan City!"

"Talent, this Wang Ping is definitely a talent! He is good at fighting wars, and he is also so good at military industry! It's unbelievable!" The shocked Lao Jiang opened his mouth and said emotionally with a disbelieving expression.

Then I couldn't help cursing: "Mother Xipi, what is the charm of the Eighth Route Army? Why do all the talents go to them!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Dai Li and asked, "Does this person have any weaknesses?"

"Yes! Very young, and not yet married! The students estimate that this is one of the reasons why he has military exploits but has not been able to get promoted. After all, his qualifications are there!" Dai Li replied immediately.

"It's good to have weaknesses!" Lao Jiang's anger disappeared all of a sudden, and he said very satisfied.

"Yunong, you go down and make arrangements, according to his weakness, arrange someone to lurk there. Such talents must be used by us!" Lao Jiang made a surprising decision.

Then, under Dai Li's astonished gaze, he continued to analyze: "Don't look at the fact that the Japanese have deployed a strengthened mixed brigade to deal with the Eighth Route Army arsenal this time. But don't forget, the arsenal is in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base! Can it be successful? Until there is no concrete result, it is still unknown!"

"We must plan ahead and prepare in advance!"

"If the Japanese fail, we must use our own means to destroy this arsenal!"

"And Wang Ping is the core figure of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal. As long as he is controlled, it must be very easy to destroy the arsenal!"

Dai Li reacted in a flash. Shocked, he complimented without hesitation: "The principal is wise, and the students will arrange it right away to ensure that the arrangement is perfect. Even if the Eighth Route Army finds out, the responsibility will be pushed to the devils, and it has nothing to do with us! "

Wang Ping, who was far away in Mount Wutai, didn't know that a huge conspiracy was waiting for him.

After learning that the Japanese army in North China was about to start a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign, Wang Ping stopped many production lines as soon as he returned to the arsenal.

In terms of weapons, except for the 82mm caliber mortar and the 120mm caliber mortar, which are still working overtime for production, everyone else is fully producing ammunition.

Bullets, grenades, shells, mines...

Moreover, as much as it is produced is sent out, the arsenal does not have a single round of bullets in stock.
