Originally, he was planning to report it to Yoshio Shinozuka himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should go to the front line to observe the enemy's situation now.

At this time, if he is still hiding in the rear, it will probably affect the morale of the soldiers and make them unable to stand it for long.

In the previous battles, those people have explained this point, if they encounter the People's Army attacking the city.

As the top leader in the city, if you don't lead by example and go to the front line, you won't be far from defeating the city.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Taro Nakaten decided to go to the front line in person to encourage the soldiers and direct the soldiers to fight in real time.

This is used to delay time and block the People's Army's attack, so that it can wait until reinforcements arrive.

Then Taro Nakata called a puppet soldier beside him and spoke to him.

"Go and report the situation on our side to General Shinozuka, saying that we suspect that we have encountered the main force of the People's Army."

"There are about four to five thousand people, and they are equipped with more than ten large-caliber howitzers, as well as a large number of heavy machine guns and mortars."

"The current situation in Dongjiang County is very critical. I hope the general can send troops for reinforcements immediately."

At this time, on the other side, Yoshio Shinozuka also received information from Taro Nakata.

"Miyano Jun, if you look at this information, you think it is somewhat credible."

After saying that, he handed the information in his hand to Miyano Jun in front of him. After receiving the information, Miyano Jun browsed it carefully.

The intelligence stated that the total strength of the People's Army around Dongjiang County reached tens of thousands, including nearly thirty large-caliber howitzers.

There are countless small mortars, at least hundreds of them, as well as a large number of heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

With so many weapon configurations and number of people, it’s no wonder that Yoshio Shinozuka found it a bit unbelievable.

The reason for this is all because of the puppet army. He was really frightened by the People's Army, so he doubled the number based on Taro Nakata.

Speaking of which, this is still a common trick used by many puppet troops. Every time they encounter an ambush or attack, they often lie about their military situation.

The purpose was to let Yoshio Shinozuka know the urgency of the matter and send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be self-defeating. Such information made Yoshio Shinozuka feel that its credibility was not high.

There is no way, as far as they know, these weapons, equipment and personnel configuration are almost the entire main force of the entire People's Army.

Judging from the previous battles, it was impossible for Su Yu to gather all the main forces of the People's Army to attack a Dongjiang County.

After seeing the information reported below, even Miyano Shun frowned. It was obvious that he and Shinozuka Yoshio had the same idea.

I feel that Su Yu would not use the main force of the People's Army to attack a mere Dongjiang County. This is completely inconsistent with Su Yu's combat style.

After Miyano Jun thought about it for a while, he suggested it just to be on the safe side.

"General, there is our small granary in Dongjiang County. It is not ruled out that the People's Army is short of food. Of course, it is also possible that the drunkard is not interested in drinking."

"Another possibility is that Dongjiang County is just a feint attack, and the People's Army's target is elsewhere, but no matter what."

"I still recommend reinforcements to Dongjiang County. At least we can't guarantee that the People's Army cannot get the food inside."

.........

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded in approval, and then a thought flashed through his mind.

"Miyano Jun, according to what you said, you are saying that there is another possibility of pretending to attack Dongjiang County to attract our attention."

"And their real target may be somewhere else. Do you think Su Yu's target might be Mr. Yamashita Taro?"

The Taro Yamashita mentioned by Yoshio Shinozuka is the little Japanese lieutenant general sent by Neji Okamura, who will pass by this location in Anjiang Town later.

As soon as he said this, Jun Miyano walked to the map and quickly found the location of Dongjiang County.

Immediately afterwards, Anjiang Town and other strongholds were discovered not far from Dongjiang County. From here.

The People's Army did have this intention, to attack Dongjiang County first and attract reinforcements from nearby areas.

Then when Taro Yamashita comes to Anjiang Town, they will be able to get rid of these little Japanese high-level officers without any effort.

Thinking of this, Jun Miyano suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. You must know that this is a lieutenant general.

If any problems arise, they will definitely be held accountable by Neji Okamura.

"General, I agree with you. Su Yu's target is probably General Yamashita Taro, so I suggest you, General, send him power to change his route."

Unexpectedly, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the time and shook his head the next moment.

"It's too late. According to the original plan, Yamashita Taro-kun will arrive at Anjiang Town in more than half an hour."

"And according to Yamashita Taro-kun's habit, he will only ask the soldiers to set up a radio station to communicate with us when he reaches the next stronghold."

"So we can't contact Yamashita Taro-kun now. This is his marching habit. In order to speed up the march, he will ask the soldiers to turn off the radio."

"In order to march at full speed, so if nothing happens, the next time I contact Yamashita Taro-kun, I will be in Anjiang Town."

It can be said that among the senior Japanese officers on the entire North China battlefield, Taro Yamashita was a great oddity.

Because he was the only one who asked the soldiers to turn off the radio during the march until they went to the next stronghold, and then communicated with others.

This can indeed save a lot of time, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, you cannot contact other soldiers in real time.

Except for Yamashita Taro, the other high-ranking officers of the Japs would specifically turn on the radio during the march.

So that he can receive the latest orders from his superiors as soon as possible, but Yamashita Taro does not have this habit.

It was precisely because of this that Yoshio Shinozuka said it was too late. He had just contacted Taro Yamashita not long ago.

So it's almost impossible to get in touch now, but no matter how small the plan is, Shinozuka Yoshio will try.

"In this way, you have people contact Yamashita Taro-kun all the time. Once you are contacted, you will notify me immediately."

"Then, order the surrounding soldiers to move closer to Anjiang Town immediately. We must prepare for the worst."

"The last step is to arrange for some soldiers to go to Dongjiang County to provide support. No matter whether our guess is correct or not, we must be well prepared."

"Hayi!"

It has to be said that no one knows you better than your enemy, which can be inferred just from the People's Army's attack on Dongjiang County.

Which one is Su Yu's real target? This is all due to their several encounters with the People's Army.

Knowing the fighting style of these people, they would never expose themselves for a mere piece of food.
