Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 643 The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit (First update!)

While the chief of staff was still frowning and analyzing why there were so many casualties, Matsumoto, who also had a calm face, had already seen the conspiracy behind these casualties.

"There is a problem..." Matsumoto said suddenly.

"In one day, the entire blockade line was attacked, and the Eighth Route Army only attacked the patrols and retreated after firing a single shot. Even if one person attacked our patrols several times in a row in a day, the Xinyi Regiment didn't have that many troops!"

"Also, according to the telegram, judging from the bullet casings left on the battlefield, every time the Eighth Route Army attacked our patrol team, it was a platoon. It was a waste of troops to use a platoon to attack our patrol team, that is, a squad. , a waste of bullets, completely inconsistent with the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army in the past!"

"If I'm not wrong, the battle that took place on the blockade today is not what you judged at all. The Eighth Route Army used guerrilla warfare to attack our patrol team, killing and injuring us in large numbers, and weakening our garrison on the blockade!"

"What's that?" the chief of staff asked back, frowning.

"Training?" Matsumoto made a surprise judgment!
"On the training ground, we trained soldiers with captured Chinese soldiers, practicing bayonets and hand-to-hand combat. Our old opponent, Wang Ping, brought his new regiment on our blockade line today, using the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army to train soldiers. Train the soldiers' marksmanship!"

"How is it possible?" The chief of staff seemed to have heard a big joke, his face was shocked, his mouth was open, and he didn't react for a long time.

Major General Matsumoto frowned and analyzed: "More than 30 people ambushed one of our patrol squads, and they can only kill five or six of us. Even if each person only shoots one bullet, it is impossible for ordinary troops to achieve only this little result. But the fact is so, it means that the one who attacked us is a new regiment of recruits!"

"Using recruits to fight our veterans, and every battle is as if carved out of a mold, you say, what is this if it is not training?"

The chief of staff gradually believed it, and a very bold idea came to his mind.

"General, do you think it is possible that the Xinyi Regiment sent the remaining veterans out of the mountains through secret channels to fight against us and sneak attack us. At the same time, they used battles to prove to the Chinese people in Linfen that they have not been wiped out by us." , expand influence, accumulate supplies and expand the army by the way. The rest of the recruits stayed in the mountains for training, and saw that our troops finally left the gun towers and bunkers for patrolling, and immediately seized the opportunity to use our patrol team to practice marksmanship."

"It's possible, but you still overlooked one thing!" The more the analysis went on, the more ugly Matsumoto's face became.

Because he suddenly discovered that the situation of the war has developed to the present, and all the situations he has grasped seem to be fake.

If this is the case, then things are in trouble.

Taking a deep breath, after suppressing the bad feeling in his heart as much as possible, he frowned and analyzed.

"The new regiment trains in units of platoons. There are so many battles on the blockade line in one day, and the blockade line is long, which means that the new regiment will dispatch no less than ten new recruit platoons, or even more. many!"

"I'm sure that our bombing of the Xinyi regiment's garrison some time ago did not achieve the expected results."

"The casualties of the new regiment are definitely not as great as we imagined! The material reserves are not all destroyed!"

The chief of staff once again showed an expression of disbelief: "How is it possible? We used incendiary bombs, not ordinary aerial bombs. Even if I didn't go to the battlefield in person, I can be sure that the new regiment's garrison will be burned to ashes." !"

The sullen Matsumoto seemed to think of something, and the frown that was already frowning deepened at this time.

Then he replied with a face full of enlightenment: "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, I understand!"

"Our opponents are too cunning, and the Chinese have a habit since ancient times, not to put their own things together, but to hide them separately, so as not to be taken by the opponent!"

"The new group must be the same."

"In addition to the camps that we bombed and burned to ashes, there must be camps that we don't know about."

"It was this secret camp that allowed them to continue living in the woods after losing their main camp!"

"Ba Ge Ya Lu, they are too cunning, we were deceived!"

Speaking of this, Major General Matsumoto also showed an expression of pain and regret on his face.

I regret that I didn't think of this earlier, and let the remnants of the new regiment train and rest in the woods for such a long time.

As for the chief of staff, the shock on his face could no longer be described in words.

After finally reacting, he stared at Matsumoto and asked, "General, do you want me to use the old method to find out their secret base, and then send aviation to bomb it!"

Matsumoto shook his head and replied, "It's useless!"

"Since they knew about the Three Caverns of the Rabbit from the very beginning, they must have done so now. What's more, a station was blown up by us just now. They must be very vigilant and will not be fooled again!"

The chief of staff was anxious, and immediately asked: "Then what should I do? I watched them develop and grow in the mountains, and watched them use our patrol team to train soldiers!"

"Military training!" Hearing these two words, a sneer flashed across the corner of Major General Matsumoto's mouth.

Because there is still a hole card in his hand that has not been played.

He was very dissatisfied with the performance of the special brigade in the last battle.

After the battle, Major General Matsumoto personally took action to train the special brigade.

After more than half a month of training, the performance of these people made Matsumoto very satisfied.Although it is far from reaching the standard of the old special brigade, it is no problem to deal with ordinary troops.

And everyone in Matsumoto Ai must know that the place to improve the combat effectiveness of the special brigade the fastest is not the training ground, but the real battlefield.

Since Xinyi regiment uses its own patrol team to train troops on the battlefield, I don't mind using the recruits from Xinyi regiment to train its special forces.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto yelled directly to the door: "Notify Harada Nakazuo of the special team, and report to me right away, as quickly as possible!"

After finishing, he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "A car transport squadron strengthened by the headquarters has arrived, and there are still six armored vehicles and dozens of motorcycles in it. Chief of staff, you should follow a large stronghold with three vehicles and three vehicles immediately." Two motorcycles, one armored car, and three ordinary cars."

"The remaining cars are left in the county seat, and two mechanized reinforcement squadrons are formed."

"If there is a situation where the garrison at the stronghold can't handle it, the county will send troops directly!"

"Also, with motorcycles and armored cars, the garrisons at each base must conduct uninterrupted patrols on the main roads within their jurisdiction. By controlling the roads, they control the villages around the roads, cutting the entire Linfen into small pieces that the Eighth Route Army cannot communicate with each other. !"
