Mountain City, Huangshan Official Residence.

After listening to Dai Yunong's report, the old man nodded: "Xue Boling is still too impulsive. There is no need to rush to kill a traitor like Zhou Yuan. At least he has to wait until he explains the problem clearly before he can understand the punishment!"

"Maybe Chief Xue was too indignant. What Zhou Yuan did was indeed beyond the understanding of the Chinese people, and both humans and gods were angry." Dai Yunong lowered his head slightly and analyzed.

"Well, Luo Youning did a good job this time, and the student you recruited was very good." The old man praised.

"It's all the principal who gave him a chance."

"Then he must have this ability." The old man said, "I heard that you have not given him the treasure medal awarded by the Military Command?"

"A while ago, he solved the case of the Japanese spy 'White Fox' attempt to kidnap our Military Commission's secret code consultant Yadley and the lurking case of the Shancheng Air Defense Command's "one-armed colonel" in the mountains. He immediately set off for Xiangcheng. It was too late for the students to hold a commendation meeting for him, and the promotion and awarding of medals were delayed." Dai Yunong said.

"What kind of medal is the military command given to him?"

“Fifth class.”

"Low, let's get a third place." The old man thought about it for a while and said slowly.

"yes."

"This kid is back, you will lead him to see me." The old man ordered.

"Yes, principal."

"Go."

...

Xianning, the 11th Army Command of the Japanese Army.

Okamura Yasuji stood in front of the battle map and said nothing. Adjutant Ogasawara quickly moved a rattan chair over.

Since his injury last time, Okamura Yasuji has completely bid farewell to his beloved war horse. He can only take a car and cannot stand for a long time.

Xue Boling is an old opponent. Although the quality of the Chinese army is not very good, there is an old saying that makes sense.

There was a soldier and a general. Xue Boling was a tiger general, and the generals he commanded were also outstanding.

In this battle, he knew that he no longer had the ability to eat the opponent's main force.

The Chinese army adopted the old method of resistance step by step, and retreated while fighting. The retreat seemed very panicked, but it was very particular. Aviation reconnaissance found that some of their troops retreated while moving towards the two wings. What does this mean?

The Chinese are weaving a big net, waiting for him to get in.

If he had an elite reserve team in his hand, he would just ignore it and crashed into it directly, then cooperated inside and outside to tear the big net.

But now, he does not have such a mobile power.

All his cards were placed on the table.

But the front-line division commander would definitely not agree to him retreat now, and these brave and warlike generals would definitely not miss this opportunity to make contributions.

On the desk, several division commanders asked to invade Xiangcheng to be there, and the words were more intense.

It is understandable that the generals are eager for military achievements, to be on the headlines of domestic newspapers, to flowers and applause, and to medals issued by the Emperor.

They would not see that the supply line behind them had been exposed to the enemy's advancing column. As the front line was lengthened, the ground supply had already become difficult, and they had to use aviation troops to deliver food and bullets. The longer the south front line, the longer it was. Once the supply line was cut off, how would the officers and soldiers on the front line fight?

China adopts the strategy of "strengthening the walls and clearing the fields", and "using war to support the war" has become empty talk. When will these Imperial Army generals mature?

Okamura Yasuji had a headache.

As the supreme commander of the battle, what he had to consider was not to conquer cities and territory, but how much benefits he could get after this battle, whether it was military or political and economic.

"Where has the Sixth Division reached?"

"Report to the Commander, I came to report half an hour ago that a squadron of the 60th Division's forward has arrived on the north bank of the Laodao River, and the other side is Yong'an."

"It's less than thirty kilometers." Okamura Yasuji murmured to himself. Such a close distance is really embarrassing.

Xue Boling is really brave enough. Any front-line commander would be afraid that he could not help but set up such a big bait.

The temptation of the occupation of Xiangcheng was too great.

"Order the troops to stop advancing."

"Stop moving forward, Commander, I heard it right?" The confidential adviser looked up in shock and looked at Kazumura Yiji with some confusion.

"Yes, you heard it right, it was the order to retreat." Okamura Yasuji repeated.

"Your Excellency Commander, now retreat, will you give up all the good situations achieved by the Imperial Army?" Adjutant Ogasawara couldn't help asking.

"What you see is the situation is very good, but what I see is the crisis coming, and you can't continue to attack. Haven't you seen that our front line is too long, but the Chinese army is always wandering around us? With just one order, they can quickly pounce on us and bite us. At that time, if we are compared to a tiger, then these Chinese people are a group of hungry wolves, and tigers cannot hold up the wolves." Okamura Yasuji explained.

Ogasawara has been around Kazumura Yasuji for a long time, so he naturally understands Okamura Yasuji's thoughts and also knows that the situation in front of him is indeed very dangerous. You can see from the situation of the enemy and us distribution on the combat map.

The Sixth Division's Arrow was inserted into Yong'an, and the difference between the arrow and the troops at the tail was 100 kilometers. If the enemy had interspersed and cut and surrounded at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hayi!"

...

Yuelu Mountain, the front line command post of the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone.

Xue Boling stood in front of the map, holding a telegram sent just by Guan Yudong, commander of the 15th Army.

Guan Yudong sent a report about the movements of the Japanese army on the front line. He judged that the Japanese army might retreat. He received a report from the group army reconnaissance team from Yingtian. On October 1, the Japanese transport ship unloaded the artillery that had just been loaded last night and dragged it back to the direction of Yueyang by the car. In addition, through stealing. According to the Japanese wired communication, there was a corps in the Shangcun Detachment that originally planned to advance south, but now the order was to stand by on site.

Guan Yudong judged that the Japanese army was likely to be unable to complete the originally formulated combat plan and moved from attack to retreat.

In a word, the Japanese want to escape.

The War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for three years, and such situations were rare.

But the opponent is a cunning and fickle opponent like Kazumura, so anything is possible. Guan Yudong suggested that the troops enter the counterattack immediately and press them all up. If they can intercept, they will intercept them. If they can catch up, they will chase them. The game cannot allow the Japanese to retreat so comfortably.

Xue Boling walked back and forth several times in the combat room, lowering his head to ponder. Not long ago, he had just received a call from Chen Cixiu.

The word "dai" of the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone was officially removed. From then on, he had the final say in the Ninth War Zone alone and no need to ask for instructions.

But it didn't take long before he needed to make such an important decision.

It’s not that he dares to make up his mind.

Instead, he was unable to figure out whether the Japanese army retreated at this time, was it because Okamura Yasuji smelled the danger and took the initiative to retreat, or whether he deliberately showed a false action.

If Kazumura Yasuji wanted to test his reaction through retreating action and attack now, it would be exactly what he wanted.

But if not, you have to make up your mind now.

You know, now the whole country is eagerly hoping that the national army can win a victory under the city of Xiangcheng.

Seeing that the opponent was about to pretend to crash into the big net he set up, the cunning Japanese army stopped moving forward and began to shrink back.

Isn’t this important thing that makes him feel uncomfortable?

Chief of Staff Wu Xuexin, Chief of Staff Zhao Zili, and several senior staff officers in the war room were all standing around, everyone was looking at the calm and wise man, waiting for his decision.

Every minute and second of waiting is long.

No one dares to urge at this time.

Because this decision is not so easy, if you are wrong, you have to be responsible.

At this moment, the dedicated telephone line in the combat room rang, which scared everyone. Chief of Staff Wu Xuexin walked over and picked up the phone and answered it.

"I know Wu Xuexin, yes, okay, I understand, I will report to Chief Xue immediately." Wu Xuexin's face was a little excited.

"What's the matter?"

"Qin Ming called, the 'X' group had just deciphered the new Japanese communication code. Okamura Yasuji issued an order to make the Japanese army retreat and advance on the front line. The specific content of the message has been sent." Wu Xuexin said.

When Xue Boling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is really sleepy and I gave me a pillow.

"I order..." Xue Boling no longer hesitated and sent out combat instructions to form a counterattack combat plan that had been planned in his mind.

The order to counterattack on the whole line was issued, and the entire Xiangbei battlefield was like cooking dumplings, and it was all tumbling.

The telegram is like a snowflake. The "X" team, which had just deciphered the new secret telegram of the Japanese army, had to work overtime to process a large number of communication and telegrams, and provide intelligence support to the national army that counterattacked on the battlefield.

With accurate information, the national army was like a god on the battlefield. Before the Japanese army arrived, the national army arrived first.

The people and supplies were evacuated in advance. When the Japanese soldiers were in vain, they arrived at their destination and found that the building was empty. Not to mention a sip of food, they didn't even have to drink a sip of water. The wells were asked to throw away dead rats and take away a piece of food from their homes.

The national army's large-scale counterattack on the entire line, coupled with the various situations encountered on the retreat, Okamura Yasuji didn't know that all his plans had been understood by the opponent, and even the opponent knew his retreat arrangements well.

If there was no traitor inside me, then there was only one possibility that the password code I changed was likely to be deciphered by my opponent again.

This is simply incredible. How the Chinese did it completely beyond his understanding.

At this time, he remembered Keiichi Kondo, and the special team that Kondo asked him to arrange to infiltrate into Xiangcheng.

In fact, Keiichi Kondo also encountered trouble. The "Yao" of the Great Japanese Imperial Ace Intelligence Group lurking in Xiangcheng had been cut off for three days, and the squad he had sneaked into also reported that it had been three days since the last time he met with "Yao". The time for the meeting was not reached, but after hearing bad news, the Chinese executed a "traitor".

Fujita Shun didn't know the identity of "Zhou Yuan", but Kondo Keiichi knew that "Zhou Yuan" was an agent developed by Xiao himself.

Doesn’t his exposure mean that “光” may have been exposed as well?

He almost ordered Fujita Shun to come back directly, but unexpectedly, at this time, Ogasawa, the adjutant of Kaangmura Yanji, turned out to be.

Commander Okamura wants to see him.
