Chapter 213 Start to act, anti-encirclement formation
However, Toshi Miyano did not persuade Yoshio Shinozuka to give up Heian County, because those were only from an objective point of view.
From a subjective point of view, whether the Eighth Route Army's attack on Ping'an County this time was a trap or not.
They all need to send troops for reinforcements. Now Ping'an County is not only a strategic point, but also a face for the little devils.
In the previous encounters with the People's Army, the Japs were always at a disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, if they turn a blind eye to today's Eighth Route Army attacking the county town.
Then in the future, in the entire northwestern Shanxi and even the North China battlefield, who will take their First Army seriously?
If they don't show any signs this time and just give up on Ping'an County, let's not mention what other forces will think of him.
Just for Neji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka, it was difficult for them to get over. After all, you said you were afraid of the People's Army, so that's understandable.
But the problem is that now the Eighth Route Army is attacking the county town. If you don't provide support, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
So after a brief thought, Miyano Shun walked to Shinozuka Yoshio and suggested.
"General, I feel like we are going to be ruthless this time and tell the covetous forces in northwest Shanxi."
"Even if we suffer a loss from the People's Army, it's not something that a cat or a dog can mess with. After we destroy the People's Army later, we can avenge our shame."
"Well, I think the same way. Regarding the Eighth Route Army's attack on the county town, I think it must be killed with one blow and not give them a chance to breathe."
After hearing Miyano Jun's proposal, Shinozuka Yoshio nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, he supported his own opinion and did not persuade him to give up Ping'an County.
If Miyano Jun really came to persuade him to give up Ping'an County, he might even give him a scolding.
"General, I just looked at the map and found that there are several regiments of the Eighth Route Army stationed here near Pingan County."
"In addition, there are several regiments of the Jinsui Army nearby. If we want to send troops to reinforce Ping'an County, we need to take these factors into consideration."
"Be prepared for the worst, that is, the Jinsui Army will also help the Eighth Route Army to block our reinforcements. If we don't send enough reinforcements by then, we will be passive."
As soon as these words came out, Yoshio Shinozuka fell into deep thought. Indeed, this time they were going to kill with one strike and show off their authority.
Therefore, it is necessary to take the worst outcome into consideration. Currently, Pingan County is among several regiments of the Eighth Route Army and several regiments of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
............
Logically speaking, the Jinsui Army generally would not help the Eighth Route Army to block the reinforcements it sent out. Just take the last major siege as an example.
The people on my side are about to eat up the entire Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi. Aren't the Shanxi-Sui Army still looking like they're watching a show?
So normally, the Jinsui Army would not help the Eighth Route Army, but there was no telling what might happen to the Jinsui Army's brain that day.
Are you going to assist the Eighth Route Army in blocking the reinforcements you sent? So everything is uncertain, and the safest way is to take it into consideration.
At this moment, Jun Miyano thought of something else and looked at Yoshio Shinozuka with a worried expression.
"General, do you think the People's Army will take action this time? I am more worried about the People's Army than the Jinsui Army."
Miyano Jun's words made Yoshio Shinozuka pause, but he quickly shook his head and said.
"Probably not. The relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the People's Army is normal, plus that time the People's Army took the initiative to insert flags in the defense zone."
"After their ambitions were exposed, the relationship between the two forces was not as good as before, not to mention that Ping'an County is within the Eighth Route Army's defense zone."
"If the Eighth Route Army lets the People's Army take action, then they will expose their defense area to the eyes of the People's Army. Generally speaking, the Eighth Route Army will not do such stupid things."
"Well, I think so too. In that case, General, how many troops are you going to send to support Ping'an County?"
After a few simple words, Miyano Shun asked the question to Shinozuka Yoshio.
This question actually made Yoshio Shinozuka fall into deep thought. Indeed, this is a difficult matter.
If you want to kill with one blow, how many troops should be sent to reinforce Ping'an County? That is before those few regiments are eaten by the People's Army.
Yoshio Shinozuka might not be so entangled, but after the last battle, the vitality of his First Army was severely damaged.
It would be difficult to send too many reinforcements this time, but if we don't send more people.
It simply won't have the effect of killing with one hit, and it will only increase casualties at that point.
But if they send more soldiers, they won't be able to provide so many people, which would be a bit uncomfortable.
