Chapter 605 Combat Plan(1/2)
Wang Ye said: "In this case, Okamura Yanji's intention will be basically clear."
"Tell me," asked the brigade commander, "I'm really curious. Okamura Niji took great pains to make this drama. What do you want to do?"
Wang Ye said: "The old devil should be a drama that kills two birds with one stone. One is to use surrender to fool the senior Japanese officials and the Japanese Hirohito, and to buy time for him. The other is to use surrender to leak information to us through Takumi Mizuhara, and lure us to send troops to rob him."
Yang Dakui said: "So, is this a trap?"
The brigade commander nodded and said, "That's what makes sense logically."
Yang Dakui said: "If this is the case, then we can't be fooled."
"Hey, Chief of Staff, you are wrong." Wang Ye smiled, "The old Japanese give us condolences, why don't you? Why are you polite to the Japanese?"
...
Almost at the same time, Takuya Suwon also returned to Qinyuan County.
Okamura Yasuji said: "Muhun Jun, are you back? How are you talking to Wang Ye? Is it similar to what I guess? Wang Ye doesn't even want to take out one or two gold?"
"Hai." Takuya Suwara paused and said, "Wono really refused to take out gold to buy information about condolences, but he proposed another deal."
"Another deal?" Okamura Yasuji said, "What?"
Takuya Suwabata asked back: "Genius General, you proposed to surrender the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Is it really just to deal with the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor and gain more time?"
"What about that?" Okamura Yasuji smiled.
"Muhun, don't you think you can really surrender successfully, right?"
Takuya Suwahara said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, there is an old proverb in our Osaka that nothing in this world is priceless."
"Is there such a proverb in Osaka?"
Okamura Yasuji said skeptically: "Why have I never heard of it?"
"Your Excellency General, you are not a businessman, so it is normal that you have never heard of this proverb." Takuya Mizuhara immediately changed the subject, "But the philosophy of this proverb is unquestionable."
After a moment of silence, Okamura Yasuji said: "This proverb does contain a very deep philosophy, because this proverb hides the thinking about human nature, which is the most untestable thing."
"Yes, you agree with this proverb, Your Excellency General."
Takuya Mizuhara smiled and said, "So, have you ever thought about really surrendering the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army? Even if it's just a try, what if it succeeds?"
"What are you talking about?" Okamura Yasuji waved his hand, "There's no need."
He paused and said, "Human nature is indeed the most untestable thing, but there is faith above human nature. Human nature cannot stand the test, but faith can stand the test."
Takuya Suwabata frowned and said, "Faith may not stand the test."
Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "You are talking about the Kuomintang that believes in the Three Principles of the People?"
"Your Excellency General, you know not only the Kuomintang that believes in the Three Principles of the People." Takuya Suwahara said, "The Communist Party that believes in communism also has traitors."
He paused and continued, "It can be seen that faith may not be reliable."
Okamura Yanji frowned and said, "Well, I must admit that faith varies from person to person. Some people's faith cannot withstand the test, while others' faith must withstand the test."
He paused and said, "Chen Gen and Wang Ye obviously belong to the latter."
Takuya Suwara insisted: "Your Excellency, but Wang Ye has offered the offer."
"Is that true?" Okamura Yasuji said sneered, "What price has he offered?"
Takuya Suwahara said solemnly: "Give the 386th Brigade an army number. The Imperial Army can send consultants to the 386th Brigade, but it is not allowed to interfere with personnel appointments and removals. The other is that it must first provide 0.3 division-level combat supplies to the 386th Brigade. As long as the materials are in place, the 386th Brigade will immediately issue a telegram to be loyal to the Nanjing National Government."
"That's it?" Okamura said with a sneer, "Muhun, this is just a lie to Wang Ye, you actually believe it? If we really provide 0.3 division-level battle supplies to the 386th Brigade, we would have been fooled! This is clearly a war supplies that we want to deceive us."
Takuya Suzuhara frowned and said, "Your General, nothing is absolutely true. What if Wang Ye is not lying to us? What if the 1386th Brigade really has the idea of changing the camp? What if it is true, but you don't even try it, wouldn't you miss a god-given opportunity? Your General, the impact of surrendering the 1386th Brigade is quite large!"
Okamura Niji hummed, "It's really impossible to succeed because of this."
"But, what if it succeeds?" Takuya Suwahara insisted, "It's always okay to try."
"Try it?" Okamura Niji snorted coldly, "Muhura, tell me how to try it? Give them the combat supplies of 0.3 divisions of combat?"
"This..." Takuya Suwabata was speechless.
Okamura Yanji hummed, "Muhun, I don't deny that what your Osaka proverb says makes sense. I am willing to believe that the March 86th Brigade is likely to be surrendered, but I don't believe that Chen Gen and Wang Ye's sincerity. When you meet next time, you will tell Wang Ye for me that if he is willing to come to Qinyuan County to interview me, I will believe his sincerity."
"Great General, how can this be done?" Takuya Suwahara said anxiously, "If this happens, wouldn't Wang Ye know that you are in Qinyuan County? The Wolf Warrior Team will behead you."
Okamura Yasuji smiled and said, "Otherwise? Do you think Ono doesn't know now?"
"Huh?" Takuya Suwahara said in a deep voice, "Genius General, I have never disclosed any information about you."
"You don't need to disclose it." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "You just need to know that this is China's land. Every Chinese commoner in Qinyuan County may become the eyewitness of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, my information in Qinyuan County will definitely not be hidden from the Eighth Route Army, and will be discovered sooner or later."
Takuya Suwahara was shocked when he heard this, and he suddenly realized.
The reason why Okamura Yasuji insisted on setting up the temporary command center in Qinyuan County despite the opposition of many senior generals was probably because he wanted to use himself as bait to lure Wang Ye's wolf warrior brigade to behead him.
"Your Excellency General." Takuya Mizuhara said sternly, "Are you using yourself as bait?"
Okamura Yasuji did not deny it and said in a deep voice: "The Wolf Warrior Team's unit is really difficult. In addition to their instinctive strong combat power, what makes people fear is their battlefield reconnaissance ability. If this unit cannot be annihilated first, it will inevitably have a fatal impact on a series of subsequent combat operations."
"So that's it." Takuya Suwara paused and said, "Your Highness General is far-sighted and admirable."
"Hey, it's boring to say this." Okamura Niji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Muwahara, now we two can discuss the detailed action plan."
"Hayi." Takuya Mizuhara paused his head with a respectful look on his face.
Okamura Yasuji: "First discuss the trap design of Qinyuan County."
"Your Excellency General, there is nothing to discuss about this." Takuya Suwahara said solemnly, "Facts have fully proved that Wang Ye's Wolf Warrior Team is a small army that is extremely good at infiltration, so no matter how we strengthen the vigilance of Qinyuan County, it is impossible to stop their infiltration and surprise attacks."
"It's hard to hide it from them if you design a general trap.
He paused and said, "Even ordinary troops can't deal with them."
Okamura Yasuji said: "So, do you have any good suggestions?"
Takuya Suwahara said: "Your Highness General, if you want to destroy the Wolf Warrior Team, there is only one way to die together!"
"Die together?" Okamura Nishi said sternly, "What do you mean is to design a fake command center, and wait for Wang Ye to lead the Wolf Warrior Team to infiltrate, and then detonate the entire command center?"
"Yes, this is the only way to do it."
Takuya Mizuhara paused and said.
...
Taiyue Mountain, Taiyue Column Headquarters.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Ma, and Xiao Chen, you all come here."
The brigade commander waved to Wang Ye, Ma Yuan, Chen Mingli and others, and said, "Don't rush to eat first, let's discuss the next combat plan first."
Wang Ye, Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli quickly put down the porridge bowl.
The brigade commander first said to Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, please tell me about the mobilization of the Japanese troops along the Huoqin Highway?"
Wang Ye responded, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at the sand table and said, "According to our Wolf Warrior Team's secret reconnaissance, the Japanese have hidden ten brigades among more than 20 strongholds along the Huoqin Highway through frequent exchanges and mobilizations a while ago! Moreover, these ten infantry brigades are still arranged at strongholds along the Huoqin Highway."
“So, no matter which section of Huoqin Highway we do it,”
He paused and said, "The two closest brigades can arrive within half an hour!"
"Ah? You can arrive in half an hour?" Ma Yuan said, "This is a bit troublesome."
Chen Mingli also said: "Yes, it's only half an hour. Not to mention whether we can kill the Japanese guards responsible for escorting supplies. Even if we kill the Japanese guards, we can't take away the condolences at such a little time. If we can't take away the condolences, wouldn't that be wasted?"
"This is not the most troublesome." Chief of Staff Yang Dakui said, "The most troublesome thing is that due to the existence of the blockade ditch and our troops cannot be exposed in advance, so before launching an attack, you must first attack the Japanese blockade ditch, which means it is difficult to become a real ambush, and it can only be a strong attack!"
This is really troublesome, because small units like the Wolf Warrior Brigade can penetrate quietly, but large troops above the regiment will definitely not be able to do this.
When Li Yunlong led the 3rd Independence Brigade to northern Henan, he also forcibly fought over from the Blockade Grotto.
Therefore, if the Taihang Column really wants to ambush the Japanese transport team at a certain location along the Huoqin Highway, it can only ambush the blockade ditch in advance. When the Japanese transport team enters the area near the ambush point, it will launch an attack. First, the blockade ditch is fought, and then attack the Japanese transport team.
Chen Mingli suggested: "Can you first penetrate through the company by unit and then enter the designated position? Wait until the Japanese transport team enters the ambush point and then suddenly launch an attack?"
"This is absolutely impossible." The brigade commander shook his head, "I really think the Japanese are just having a good meal."
It is no problem for platoon-level platoon troops to penetrate at night, but it is impossible to leave no traces.
Only Wang Ye’s Wolf Warrior Team can leave no trace, but other troops cannot do it at all, so Chen Mingli’s idea is impossible.
Ma Yuan asked Wang Ye: "Old Wang, do we have to fight the Japanese transportation team?"
Chen Mingli also said: "Yes, this is a way to get chestnuts from the fire. It's too difficult. Don't eat mutton but instead get stinking. Then we will suffer a lot."
Wang Ye snorted, "Why don't you eat the meat delivered to your mouth?"
"Xiao Wang is right!" said the brigade commander, "What we lack most now is supplies. Okamura Yasuji finally gave us a kind heart and gave us a big gift. How could he dispel his good intentions?"
Yang Dakui smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is, this gift is poisonous."
"What are you afraid of if you are poisonous?" said the brigade commander, "Seba can still eat."
Wang Ye also smiled and said, "If there is no poison, we wouldn't want to eat it."
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Brigate Commander, use the forces of two regiments to eat Okamura's gift!"
"What? Lao Wang, what did you say?" Chen Mingli suspected that there was auditory hallucination in his ears. "The forces of the two regiments? Do you want to eat this batch of supplies?"
