Upon hearing Shinozuka Kazuo's words, Yamamoto Ichiki immediately lowered his head and said,""General, what you said makes sense. However, if we send troops on a large scale, we might lose a lot of soldiers.”
Shinozuka Kazuo handed the teacup over and said slowly,""Do you think the location of the 8th Route Army's arsenal is important?”
Yamamoto Ichiki immediately nodded." The Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment are outdated, and they lack logistical supplies. This arsenal might be their most important military supply center in the entire Jin Land. It's very important!"”
"If the 8th Route Army's arsenal is attacked by us, what will the 8th Route Army do?”
Yamamoto Ichiki looked at the map and said," Near the Li Jiapo Munitions Factory, there are the 8th Route Army's independent regiments. There are three regiments, the 772nd and 771st regiments. There are also a few other 8th Route regiments around. They will definitely send reinforcements!”
Shinozuka Kazuo drew a circle around Li Jiapo.
"The location of Li Jiapo is quite special. It is near the frontline. As long as the 8th Route Army blocks both ends, it will be difficult for our troops to retreat.”
Yamamoto Ichiki nodded." This is also the reason why I want to request to fight. Because my Yamamoto Special Agent Team is small in number and fast in action. They can immediately retreat after blowing up the arsenal and not get entangled with the 8th Route Army.”
Shinozuka Kazuo drew a big circle on the map.
"Mr. Yamamoto is the captain of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team. He's thinking about the Yamamoto Special Agent Team, while I'm the commander of the North China dispatched army. I have to think about the situation in the entire North China.”
"The 8th route is in the northwest of Shanxi, and it is a huge threat to us. Wan Jia Ridge was attacked, and a section of the Zhengtai railway was blown up, causing us to suffer heavy losses.”
"Therefore, I have always had a plan to clear out all eight routes!”
"Now, Li Jiapo is an opportunity.”
Shinozuka Kazuo pointed at the circle he had drawn.
A circle surrounded Li Jiapo, One-Line-Sky, and other places.
Yamamoto Ichiki looked up at Shinozuka Kazuo and immediately understood what he meant.
"I will send a regiment to attack Li Jiapo as bait. Then, I will have the 29th and 21st Brigade form a huge encirclement around Li Jiapo!”
"If the 8th Route Army wants to take down one of our regiments, they need at least several regiments, and they need to be their main force!”
"Then we can wipe out all the main forces of the 8th Route Army!”
"Besides, although the two sides of Lijiapo are blocked and the bait inside can't break out of the frontline, it's not suitable for large-scale infantry combat. The troops can't fully utilize their strength. The Eighth Route Army lacks artillery.”
Upon hearing Shinozuka Kazuo's plan, Yamamoto Ichiki lowered his head and said,""General's plan is perfect. Surround and annihilate from all sides, and bloom in the center. This time, we will definitely be able to take care of the entire Northwest and Central Shanxi's Eighth Route Army!”
" Yes, I heard that your Yamamoto Special Agent Team hasn't made up for the losses this time. You don't have to rush into battle. As a general, you don't plan to win or lose in one battle. This time, your intelligence is very important. When you defeat the main force of the 8th Route Army, it will be the opportunity for your special agent team to perform.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Go and rest. Train your special agent team well. I hope that when I need them in the future, they will be as sharp as the katana in my hand!”
Yamamoto Ichiki immediately stood up and bowed.""General, please rest assured that Yamamoto will not disappoint you!”
"Very good!"
The next day, the Japanese troops began to mobilize.
The 29th Brigade, the 12th Regiment, and the 5th Infantry Brigade.
Captain Yamazaki Haruhira received a call from the regiment commander in the morning.
They headed straight for the regiment's base.
By the time he arrived, the captains of the other teams had already arrived.
Yamazaki Haruhira's eyes immediately lit up, indicating that there was going to be a battle mission.
Yamazaki Haruhira had been a lieutenant for three years. He only needed some military merits to be promoted to a lieutenant.
"The regimental commander has arrived!"
Everyone stood up immediately.
The commander of the 12th regiment of the 29th Brigade, Takahashi Matayoshi, walked into the meeting room.
"Sit!"
All the Japanese team leaders sat down. Takahashi Mara glanced at the five team leaders below and said,"We received orders from General Xiaozhong. He ordered us to gather immediately and head to Li Jiapo to encircle and suppress the 8th Route Army's arsenal!”
Yamazaki Haruhira's eyes lit up with excitement as soon as he heard that. He was looking forward to the upcoming battle mission.
"Li Jiapo is located in the direction of One-Line-Sky. The terrain there is dangerous. I need a large group to lead the way. I will lead the other large groups to follow closely behind.”
As soon as he said that, Yamazaki Haruhira stood up from his seat.""Commander, the 5th Battalion is willing to take the lead!”
Takahashi Matayoshi nodded in satisfaction when he saw someone stand up.
"If that's the case, then Yamazaki Kun, your 5th Battalion will be the vanguard of our alliance. Attack Li Jiapo. After we take Li Jiapo, immediately build fortifications to prevent the 8th Route Army from counterattacking. Our alliance's mission is to attract the 8th Route Army's main force at Li Jiapo and provide time for the rest of the troops to surround the 8th Route Army's main force!”
After hearing this, Yamazaki Haruhira became even more excited. It seemed that this battle was not a small one. As long as he made some contributions, he would definitely be promoted to the position of a colonel.
