"If the Imperial Army cannot reverse this situation as soon as possible."

"Then the situation in China will continue to deteriorate."

"So, the North China Front Army must launch a tit-for-tat retaliation."

"One to destroy the field hospitals in the Taihang Bandits Zone, destroy the medical staff and this batch of medicines in Shanghai, and the other to offset the negative impact of the Hundred Regiments War."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily and said again, "It seems that Miyano is already confident about this?"

"Hayi." Miyanodao paused his head suddenly, and then extended his hand and said, "Have you finished breakfast? If you have finished eating, please move to the Battle Hall. I will introduce this plan to you in detail."

"I've finished eating." Okamura Neji wiped his mouth, got up and left.

Soon he arrived at the war room, Miyanodao opened the tent on the wall, revealing the map below.

"Please look at the general," Miyano Daichi picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the map and said, "This is the Taihang bandit area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, which is located east of Tongpu Road and north of Zhengtai Road."

"This place is called Daxia Bay."

"Genxi, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is in Daxia Bay."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Eighth Route Army's field hospital must have been built here."

"The lowest target of this surprise attack is to destroy the Eighth Route Army Hospital in Daxia Bay. If possible, destroy the command organ of the Eighth Route Army headquarters."

Okamura Nishi frowned and said, "This is just an idea."

He paused and asked again, "Can I listen to the specific action plan?"

"Of course." Miyanodao moved the wooden pole in his hand down and landed in Shouyang County. He also said, "Shouyang is only less than a hundred kilometers away from Daxia Bay, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the hospital.

"And, there is an infantry brigade of the 4th Brigade stationed in Shouyang County."

"This infantry brigade was originally the mobile brigade of the 4th Brigade, with a complete structure and well-equipped."

"Your Excellency General can give the 1st Army orders to order this infantry brigade to attack Daxia Bay and launch a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army headquarters."

"What then?" Okamura Yasuji said, "After the surprise attack was successful, this infantry brigade will definitely be trapped in a siege. How can we rescue them at that time?"

“That’s the point of the whole plan.”

Miyano Doichi said in a deep voice: "The surprise attack on Daxia Bay not only has the opportunity to destroy the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, field hospitals and kill all medical staff, but also may attract the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Taihang Bandit Area, creating opportunities for the 1st Army to concentrate its forces to wipe out the main forces of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani? Can you also wipe out the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army?"

Okamura Yanji suddenly felt enlightened and said in a deep voice: "How feasible is it?"

"I can only say it is extremely high." Miyano Daoichi said, "Because the Eighth Route Army had just won the Hundred Regiments Battle, it was the time when they were most relaxed in their defense. Moreover, the Zaoyi Battle was not over at this time, and the troops seconded to the battlefield in Central China did not come back, so the Eighth Route Army would never expect that we would counterattack at this time!"

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji said, "perfectly fits the element of surprise."

Miyano Daoyi said again: "In fact, the 222nd Infantry Regiment, the 225th Infantry Regiment and the 237th Infantry Regiment drawn from southern Shanxi have entered Taiyuan, Changzhi and Pingding County respectively, and the 3rd Brigade stationed in Ping'an County can launch a centripetal attack on Daxia Bay from three directions."

"Suoga." Okamura Yasuji said happily, "Once the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army concentrates its main force to launch a siege on the infantry brigade that raided Daxia Bay, the 1st Army stationed in Taiyuan, pacified and Ping'an County, and then counter-encircled the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army concentrated in Daxia Bay from the periphery!"

Miyano Daoichi said: "So, did the General agree?"

"Of course, why don't you agree?" Okamura Yanji nodded, "Immediately call the 1st Army Command and order this infantry brigade of the 4th Brigade to attack Daxia Bay!"

"Hayi!" Miyanoda paused.

...

The order from the North China Front Command soon arrived in Taiyuan.

"This is a battle of will." Yamamoto Kazuki said bluntly, "Mr. Commander, I object! Such a revenge action is not only meaningless, but also doomed to failure!"

"Yamamoto, why do you say that?"

Chief of Staff Takagi Tanaka frowned and said, "I think it's at least worth trying."

The head of the combat section, Takaichi Sakamoto, also said: "Yes, at least one thing is not wrong. The Eighth Route Army had just won a big victory, and it must be the time to relax. The Yamazaki Brigade launched a sudden attack at this time. Maybe it could really catch the Eighth Route Army off guard, destroy the Eighth Route Army command center in one fell swoop, and destroy their field hospitals."

Communications department head Takuya Mizuhara also said: "And this is perfectly consistent with Sun Tzu's "Attack of unpreparedness and unexpected elements of military use, maybe it will be successful!"

Yamamoto Kazuki frowned and said, "The Art of War has said that the attack is unprepared and unexpected. However, Sun Tzu's Art of War also said that the military is inconsistent and the water is inconsistent, so we cannot blindly copy Sun Tzu's experience in the Art of War!"

"You know, this is Shanxi, it is the land of the Chinese people and the country of the Chinese people."

"The Taihang Bandit District is the so-called base of the Eighth Route Army. Almost everyone there is the Eighth Route Army's eyes and eyes. Yamazaki Brigade will be discovered as soon as it steps into the bandit district."

"How come you can't attack him without any preparation? Unexpectedly?"

"It's simple." Takuya Sumihara said, "Just kill."

Takaichi Sakamoto also said: "Yes, kill all the people along the way, there is no problem."

Tanaka Takayoshi said: "And even if the Chinese people report the news, they may not be able to rush in front of Yamazaki Brigade, because the straight line distance from Shouyang County to Daxia Bay is less than 100 kilometers! If you replace the mountain cannons of Yamazaki Brigade with mortars and then add a portion of the pack horses, you can bring all military supplies to the pack horses."

"In this way, Yamazaki's brigade's mobility will be higher than it is now."

"They can even go to remote paths in the mountains without even relying on the main road!"

While several old Japanese were talking, a combat plan was gradually taken.

After all, the North China Front Command just issued a combat order.

However, the real specific combat plan still needs to be formulated by the 1st Army itself.
Chapter completed!
