"That's right, I really didn't expect that the People's Army's combat effectiveness was so strong. It took just half a day to capture six of the Japs' important cities."

"I estimate that within two days at most, the Japs' First Army Headquarters will be captured by the People's Army."

After everyone heard what the leader said, they all agreed. They were also very surprised by the combat effectiveness of the People's Army.

I thought I had high regard for the People's Army, but who would have thought that the People's Army only dispatched three brigades of troops.

That is 30,000 people, which is the same number as the 30,000 reinforcements of the little devil, but even under such circumstances.

The People's Army killed these 30,000 people in less than two hours, and then directly pursued the victory.

In less than half a day, they directly captured the six important cities of Fu'an, Shuiquan and Luyang.

Such changes not only shocked the Eighth Route Army, but also the little devils.

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard that the People's Army had captured six important cities, he fainted from anger.

No matter what other people's reactions were, it was none of Su Yu's business. At this time, he asked soldiers from six brigades to plant the flags of the People's Army behind six cities including Fu'an, Shuiquan and Luyang.

He ordered them to rest where they were, preparing to wait until dawn tomorrow to continue attacking the rest of the Jaap's strongholds.

At this time, on the other side, in the general headquarters of the First Army of the Japs, the fainted Yoshio Shinozuka was being treated by many Japs doctors.

He also woke up slowly, and when he saw the worried eyes of everyone, he also said quietly.

"How is it? How is the current situation with the People's Army?"

"Report to the general, according to reports from the front line, the People's Army has planted their flags on those cities, and there are no follow-up actions."

"It seems that after a day of fighting, the People's Army is also feeling tired. I'm afraid they are resting and reorganizing their troops."

"Well, after they take a break, they will definitely attack us again. Judging from today's battle, it will be difficult for us to resist the attack of the People's Army."

"Yes, the main reason is that we were tricked several times by the People's Army, which caused heavy losses to our First Army. That's why the People's Army seized on the plan."

"Damn it, it's all the Eighth Route Army's fault. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be so embarrassed now. If we had known, we would have destroyed them as soon as possible."

As Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, the little devils began to discuss again, but none of them came up with a specific solution.

............

"Okay, I don't want to see you arguing here today. I just want a solution that can solve the current predicament, rather than seeing you arguing here."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily, and then looked at Taro Yamashita on the side.

"Yamashita-kun, how do you think we should deal with the crisis of the People's Army this time?"

Yamashita Taro on the side was shocked when he heard his name being called, but his face remained unchanged.

"Shinozuka-kun, judging from the two actions of the People's Army, they probably want to take this opportunity to completely annihilate our Empire's First Army."

"To occupy the entire territory of northwest Shanxi, in my opinion, the best way is to gather troops and abandon all the peripheral strongholds."

"Gather all the current effective forces and focus on defending the last few cities. Through this, we will fight the final decisive battle with the People's Army."

Yamashita Taro's intention is very obvious, that is, to stop Yoshio Shinozuka from becoming a deserter. The First Army of the Little Japanese still has some available people.

If Yoshio Shinozuka chooses to retreat at this time, Su Yu doubts whether the Eighth Route Army behind him can stop these little devils.

But if Yoshio Shinozuka continues to organize his troops to fight a deadly battle with the People's Army, once this step is achieved.

By then, even if Yoshio Shinozuka realizes that something is wrong and wants to retreat, he will not have many troops on hand.

Presumably the Eighth Route Army at that time was able to completely block the remaining defeated generals such as Shinozuka Yoshio.

As for whether this plan will only increase the casualties of the People's Army? To be honest, there will indeed be some.

But compared with subsequent actions, these casualties incurred by the People's Army are nothing.

It is true that if Yoshio Shinozuka retreats at this time, the People's Army can indeed capture the entire northwestern Shanxi at a very small cost.

But in that case, the Eighth Route Army would most likely not be able to stop Shinozuka Yoshio's troops.

When Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army and Okamura Neji's Eleventh Army merge, the People's Army will subsequently want to take over the entire North China battlefield.

The difficulty is not ordinary, but if we take advantage of this opportunity, the People's Army can completely wipe out Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army.

Although the casualties may be higher, I would like to compare it with the situation when facing the First Army and the Eleventh Army when attacking the North China battlefield later.
