Chapter 582 Buying Okamura Neji's Head(1/3)
Chenzhuang, before dawn, Li Xia quickly put away the radio station's antenna. Although the Japanese within 500 meters had basically been cleared, what if there were still fish that escaped the net?
Or what if the Japanese were seen by five hundred meters away?
The Wolf Warrior Team brought a radio station and still needs to be kept confidential.
As a veteran of the hundreds of wars on the secret front, Li Xia has developed a good habit of keeping secrets, and this good habit has repeatedly helped him at critical moments.
However, before putting away the antenna, I had already received a reply from the headquarters.
"Captain, this is a call from the headquarters." Li Xia handed Wang Ye the telegram he had just translated.
Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui, Duan Peng, Lin Han and Wei Xilai were surrounded immediately.
"Breakthrough?" Wei Dayong said while reading the telegram, "The main force of the column plans to dig a tunnel several kilometers long to directly lead to the bottom of Anshi Town, and then carry out blasting?"
"No, this method is really good."
"I dare say that this must be the leader's idea."
"No one can come up with such a trick except the leader."
After a pause, Wei Dayong said again: "Let us prepare in advance?"
Duan Peng said: "What should I do? We have only cleaned less than a kilometer and can't get out at all."
At this moment, Wang Ye has read the entire content and also knows the entire breakthrough plan of the main force of the column.
The breakout plan of the Northwest Shanxi Column was divided into two steps. The first step was to dig an authentic tunnel to the underground of Anshi Town, carry out blasting, and strive to severely damage the 1st Division, and blow up a large gap in the first blockade line of the Japanese army.
The second step is to break the whole into pieces and break through the second blockade with a small penetration.
This is similar to the way the 15 Japanese infantry brigades broke into the base area. They operated separately in units of platoons and rushed out of the gap between villages. The amount of it can be rushed out is calculated as much as it can be. The two hundred kilometers long defense line does not believe that the Japanese army's circular defense line can be kept from leaking.
But Wang Ye knew that this plan was extremely dangerous.
The reason why the 15 infantry brigades of the Japanese army were able to disrupt the defense line of their Northwest Shanxi Column was because their Northwest Shanxi Column lacked troops, and even so, it eventually became a mess. Until now, the dozen Japanese infantry brigades that infiltrated in are still trapped in the Chenzhuang battlefield.
However, the Japanese army did not have enough troops at all.
According to Wang Ye's estimate, the Japanese army suffered about 60,000 casualties in this sweeping war.
The Japanese army had nine infantry divisions and one chariot division that had been deployed in the sweep. The 1st Division was a heavy-armed division with nearly 30,000 people. The other eight divisions were three-unit divisions with about 15,000 people, and the remaining one chariot division had about 12,000 people.
Therefore, the Japanese army had 160,000 troops participating in the battle.
Even if 60,000 casualties were injured, there were still 100,000 left!
Therefore, there is no shortage of troops in the Japanese army.
Let’s look at the forces of their Northwest Shanxi Column. Now the main force of the column trapped near Wanmadu is still 10,000, and the troops trapped in Chenzhuang are about 7,000 or 8,000 left.
All of them are about 17,800.
The troops are no less than one-fifth of the Japanese army.
Then the difficulty of infiltrating the second blockade of the Japanese army by breaking the whole into pieces and breaking through separately will be beyond imagination.
Because after the Japanese army discovered the intention of the Northwest Shanxi Column, they just needed to send an equal number of Japanese troops to break into zero to block the situation, which would cause the situation to become a mess, which trapped the Northwest Shanxi Column.
Even if we are most optimistic, the number of people who can break out in the end will never exceed 3,000, and the losses of cadres and combat backbones will be beyond imagination.
This is just the most optimistic estimate.
The greatest possibility is that the entire army will be wiped out!
This result is something that Wang Ye absolutely does not want to see.
Li Xia also saw this problem and frowned and said, "The problem now is not only that we can't get out, but also that the main force of the column can't get out."
Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "That is the brigade commander who asks us to be prepared. The brigade commander means that our Wolf Warrior Team can find several relatively easy breakthrough routes from the second blockade of the Japanese."
Wei Xi said, "But now we can't leave Chenzhuang, how can we find a breakout route?"
"Chen Zhuang?" Wei Xi said the man was unintentional. Wang Ye felt a little moved after hearing this. Maybe it was okay to break through from Chen Zhuang?
At this moment, the roar of the Japanese plane's engine suddenly sounded outside, and then Sun Bin's shouts sounded.
"Old Wang, come up quickly." Sun Bin's voice was transmitted from the alert position on the ground. "In case of this, the Japanese plane was airdropping supplies to the Chenzhuang battlefield."
"Airdrop supply? And what's going on?"
Wang Ye quickly took a few backbones to the observation post on the ground.
The result was that more than a dozen transports were divided into several echelons and passed by Chenzhuang.
After the transport plane flew past, parachutes emerged from the sky, and there was a wooden box hanging under each parachute, which was probably the one that was stored.
During these four days and nights, not only the Eighth Route Army were hungry, but the Japanese were also hungry.
However, because the Chinese and Japanese armies were completely integrated and the supplies outside were easily sent in, the Japanese army came up with the method of airdrop supplies.
This method has benefits, but also disadvantages.
The advantage is that the supplies can be sent in safely.
The disadvantage is that supplies may also fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
However, the two evils are the least. The Japanese army obviously felt that letting some supplies fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army would be better than letting the Japanese army on the Chenzhuang battlefield starve to death.
Wang Ye aimed the telescope's vision at a village ahead.
I saw two parachutes hanging on wooden boxes and landing in the cornfield outside the village.
The corn in the cornfield has been cut down by the villagers, which is part of the plan to clear the fields. Not only the corn has been cut down, but sweet potatoes and potatoes have also been pulled down.
If it weren't for this, they would have eaten corn bars and sweet potatoes, so how could they have hungry?
The two wooden boxes fell swaying in the cornfield, and even two Japanese men rushed out of the nearby foxholes and tried to drag the two long wooden boxes away.
Unfortunately, before the two Japanese approached the wooden box, they heard two gunshots.
After the gunshots, the two Japanese rushed forward and fell into the cornfield without any movement.
The one who shot was obviously the nearby Eighth Route Army soldiers, and such a close distance was simply a death sentence.
After a while, two more figures rushed out, but this time they were militiamen from the Northwest Military Region. Although they were wearing military caps on their heads, they were wearing short jackets, which was easy to recognize.
These two militiamen are very alert and take the zigzag route.
However, this was useless. They were also unable to get close to the wooden box and were hit by a sinful bullet from unknown directions, and immediately fell to the ground without any movement.
From beginning to end, Wang Ye didn't see the person who shot the gun hiding?
The situation froze like this. The Japanese army did not dare to pick up boxes, nor did the Eighth Route Army dared not.
There were also many boxes falling in the wilderness at the entrance of Chenzhuang Village. Sun Bin immediately said: "We have cleaned it up here, so there should be no danger. I will take people to pick up boxes."
After saying that, Sun Bin slid down from the observation post and prepared to take people to pick up boxes.
At this moment, Wang Ye suddenly felt aroused his heart and thought of a good idea. Maybe he could hide the truth from the sky? If this hidden sea is successful, his confidence in breaking through will increase greatly!
Wang Ye shouted in a low voice: "Old Sun, don't go first!"
Sun Bin turned around and said in surprise: "Old Wang, what's wrong?"
"Anyway, don't go there first, listen to me." Wang Ye didn't explain much.
Sun Bin had no choice but to retreat again. He obeyed Wang Ye.
Wang Yeze called Wei Dayong and others to come and gave instructions like this.
After hearing this, Wei Dayong and others nodded repeatedly, then slid down the observation post and scattered from the tunnel to around Chenzhuang.
A moment later, a loud voice sounded from a fox pit at the entrance of Chenzhuang Village, speaking in Japanese: "Listen to the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, can we temporarily quit the battle?"
Then a stiff voice translated into Chinese.
Then the Eighth Route Army responded not far away: "It is OK to have a truce, but the supplies must be distributed to us half!"
Then the Eighth Route Army's broken Japanese sounded, and the sentence just now translated into Japanese. The sound was quite loud. The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army hundreds of meters away could vaguely listen to it.
The "battlefield" fell silent, and the Japanese army was probably discussing.
After being silent for about ten seconds, the previous Japanese army shouted: "Yes, give you half of the nutrients. Now you and I will send two people out to transport supplies. Remember not to carry weapons!"
A few seconds after the Japanese army finished shouting, the Eighth Route Army responded loudly: "Agree."
Immediately afterwards, a very "harmonious" scene appeared on the Chenzhuang battlefield. Two Eighth Route Army and two Japanese troops emerged from the two foxglove pits, neither carrying weapons. After a look at each other, they quickly ran to the wooden box in the field, and then each raised a box and returned to their own positions.
This time, no gunfire sounded on the position again.
Both the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army abide by the previous agreement.
After this successful demonstration, the Eighth Route Army and Japanese troops around them followed suit and distributed the supplies. More than a dozen tons of supplies were quickly divided up, and no bloodshed occurred during this period.
...
The harmonious scene on the Chenzhuang battlefield was quickly fed back to the Japanese Army Command.
"Is there such a thing?" Okamura Moriji said in surprise, "The Imperial Army trapped on the battlefield of Chenzhuang has temporarily reached a truce with the Eighth Route Army and divided the supplies?"
"Yes." Takuya Suwara nodded, "both sides have strictly followed their promises."
"Haha, this is an interesting phenomenon." Okamura Yasuji said, "Although the Imperial Army lost half of its supplies, it would be acceptable if the Chenzhuang battlefield could maintain a brief peaceful situation."
