Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 660 Matsui's poisonous scheme (ninth update!)

"Battalion Commander, it will be dawn in one hour, we must find a place to hide!" Ma Dongyun chased Xiao Yunshan and suggested.

Xiao Yunshan directly ordered: "Don't hide, not only don't hide, but keep on going!"

"The troops stop immediately, rest for half an hour, and replenish dry food. After half an hour, we will continue to set off!"

At first, Ma Dongyun thought he had heard it wrong, but after seeing the determined expression on Xiao Yunshan's face, he showed a shocked expression of disbelief.

He hurriedly reminded: "But, Battalion Commander, the devil has a plane. What if the plane comes? There are so many of us, they can kill us by dropping a few bombs at will!"

Xiao Yunshan laid out a simple map of captured devils in front of Ma Dongyun, and asked with a flashlight: "There are no mountains, no forests, not even a small hill here. Tell me, where can I hide the strength of a regiment!"

"Don't forget, we are not a disgruntled battalion with only two infantry companies, but the main force of the delegation."

"Then you can't expose the troops to broad daylight and let the devils fly over to bomb them?" Ma Dongyun was anxious.

"The team leader has already thought of a solution for us!" A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across the corner of Xiao Yunshan's mouth.

Then he replied: "Divide the troops, only by dividing the troops can we avoid the bombing of the devil's plane!"

"Dividing the troops has another advantage. It can create a situation where our Eighth Route Army is everywhere for the devils. At that time, even if the devils' reinforcements arrive, they don't know which one of our troops to attack first!"

"In addition, didn't the devils set up a maintenance meeting in every village? After the division of troops, no matter which unit, as long as they meet the maintenance meeting, they will be brought to me. These two devils are domineering over the common people. Working hard and killing our compatriots, we will come here today to settle accounts with them and teach them a lesson they will never forget!"

"During the day, under the stalking of the devil's plane, we divided our troops and rushed to the hills and mountains north of Linfen. We marched all the way and fought for the maintenance meeting. Flowers bloomed everywhere, so that the devil could not figure us out. At night, we gathered together to fight against the devil's artillery tower and Reinforcements, cross the road!"

"Good way!" Ma Dongyun's eyes brightened and he affirmed.

"After dawn, the devil's reinforcements will definitely rush over. After the division of troops, the targets of our troops are small, so we can break through and retreat under the heavy siege of the devil!"

"Even if there is any accident, whichever army is surrounded by devils and fails to escape, our main force is still there!"

"Commander, I completely agree!"

Xiao Yunshan directly began to give orders: "We have six platoons and the troops directly under the battalion headquarters, and the troops directly under your two companies. Each platoon is equipped with a heavy machine gun, and you choose your own marching route. One day, you can walk [-] miles. At [-] o'clock, rush to Hulukou to meet, and from there we will cross the highway controlled by the devils!"

"For the troops directly under the two companies, you two company commanders will command by themselves and strengthen one mortar. The mission remains the same."

"The troops directly under the battalion headquarters, strengthen a mortar and an infantry gun, and I will personally command it!"

"We are divided into nine groups, each representing an infantry company, to convince the devils that we are the main force of the new regiment.

In the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, dozens of devils, including Matsumoto, felt much better after breakfast.

They affirmed that, compared to night, fighting against the imperial army during the day has twice the result with half the effort.

More importantly, during the day they have army aviation for reinforcements, which can not only attack the Eighth Route Army from the air, but also serve as eyes for the imperial army on the ground.

"Chief of Staff, has the plane reinforcement I requested arrived?" Matsui asked as soon as he entered the war room.

The chief of staff affirmed: "Here we are, looking for a new main force at low altitude!"

"As long as their location is determined, three bombers can arrive and bomb them within an hour. Our ground forces can also arrive at two mobile squadrons within an hour and hold them back. The main force can arrive within two hours at most, Annihilate them all!"

Major General Matsui was very satisfied with this arrangement, his nerves that had been tense all night finally relaxed, and he even showed a long-lost smile.

There is no doubt that he is full of confidence in the next battle.

Added to the chief of staff: "Send a telegram to the special brigade, let them rush to the battlefield quickly, cooperate with the action, and hunt the fish that slipped through the net on the battlefield!"

"Especially Wang Ping, the leader of the new regiment, he is very difficult to deal with."

"I'm worried that ordinary troops plus planes won't be able to deal with them. We must go up to the special brigade to have hope!"

The chief of staff left the war room with a smile to send a telegram.

However, when he returned to the war room 10 minutes later, not only was his smile gone, but his face was also solemn.

The atmosphere in the war room was still relaxed just now, but because of his expression, it suddenly became heavy.

"General, the situation on the battlefield is a bit beyond our expectations!" The chief of staff walked up to Matsumoto and reported.

"The new regiment split up at dawn. Looking for reports from their aerial reconnaissance planes, they found at least nine Eighth Route Army units in this area. Each Eighth Route Army has more than 100 soldiers and an infantry company!"

Major General Matsumoto frowned all of a sudden.

Staring at the sand table, he asked, "Can you confirm their exact location, or their marching route!"

"No!" The chief of staff shook his head and replied.

"Each Eighth Route Army has only one company, which is always on the march, and its position is constantly changing!"

"They don't have many troops. They can walk on mountain roads, small roads, and even wasteland. They are not bound by roads at all, and there is no way to determine the marching route!"

Major General Matsui got angry, and scolded unceremoniously: "Bage Yalu, these Eighth Route Army are really too cunning!"

"Wang Ping is indeed a difficult opponent. It seems that it is impossible to eliminate them in one day today!"

After staring at the sand table for another minute, I started to give orders.

"The bombing plan remains unchanged. Three Army Aviation bombers will start bombing immediately. They can bomb as many people as the Eighth Route Army can."

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "General, think twice..."

"Aerial reconnaissance planes reported that the Eighth Route Army had received air defense training. Before our planes passed by, they quickly dispersed and moved."

"Sending bombers to bomb under such circumstances, I think it is a waste of bombs. If the superiors know, they will definitely reprimand us. After all, the whole of North China now needs air support everywhere!"

Matsui insisted: "Execute the order!"

"Do you think I really want to rely on a few bombs to destroy the new group? Joke!"

"In the whole bombing, I don't want to see a single Eighth Route Army being killed. As long as a dozen of them are wounded in each company, that's fine!"

"Injury!" The chief of staff suddenly reacted: "General, you want to use the wounded to slow down the marching speed of the new regiment!"

"Under the threat of the imperial army, the common people along the line must not dare to take the initiative to help them. Once they have wounded, they can only march with them. Then their mobility will become worse and worse, and then they will be wiped out under our siege and interception." !"

"General wise, this method is great!"
