Chapter 154 Assemble the troops, the decisive battle is approaching
During this period of time, Su Yu can make good preparations. A table of dishes is ready and waiting for the guests to come and eat.
While Su Yu was busy here, Yamashita Taro on the other side was not idle either. He was under Su Yu's orders.
He moved directly towards the First Army Headquarters, and soon he came to a little Japanese stronghold.
Seeing this, Yamashita Taro immediately announced his identity, and then entered the stronghold directly under the respectful eyes of those little devils.
Once inside, Yamashita Taro no longer concealed his purpose and directly explained his purpose to the defenders inside.
Ask them to arrange a car to take him to Yoshio Shinozuka, saying that he has important matters to discuss with Yoshio Shinozuka.
In response to Yamashita Taro's order, the little Japs in the stronghold immediately found a car, and then arranged for some soldiers to escort Yamashita Taro to the First Army Headquarters.
Just kidding, Taro Yamashita has the rank of lieutenant general. How could the defenders have the courage to refuse?
However, just to be on the safe side, the defenders sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka shortly after seeing off Yamashita Taro.
In this way, Yoshio Shinozuka received the news while Taro Yamashita was still on his way to the First Army Headquarters.
I saw Yoshio Shinozuka looking at Miyano Shun in front of him with the information, rubbing his head with a headache and saying.
"Miyano-kun, what do you think of the news about Yamashita Taro-kun's sudden return?"
It's not surprising that he asked this. After all, the appearance of Yamashita Taro was really weird. Originally, they all thought that Yamashita Taro was dead.
But who would have thought that just when they had just discussed the encirclement and suppression operation against the People's Army, they would be at this juncture.
Yamashita Taro suddenly appeared, which forced their plan to be temporarily put on hold. The most important thing was that Yoshio Shinozuka always felt that this matter was not that simple.
But he couldn't tell exactly what the problem was. As for whether he suspected that Taro Yamashita had surrendered to the enemy?
Even if he had this suspicion in his mind, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Just kidding, Yamashita Taro and himself have the same military rank.
If you say without evidence that a high-ranking member of the empire has defected to the enemy, what will others think of him?
It is inevitable that some people will think that he did this just to squeeze out Yamashita Taro. It is precisely for these reasons.
This gave Shinozuka Yoshio a little headache. He knew that this matter was full of weirdness, but he could only keep it in his heart and could not expose it openly.
.............
Miyano Shun was very clear about Yoshio Shinozuka's thoughts, and he also knew Yoshio Shinozuka's concerns.
"General, in my opinion, we will know after we meet with Yamashita Taro. There is no need to think about it so much now."
"Well, that's all we can do. Tell the people below to temporarily stop the encirclement and suppression plan against the People's Army and let them stand by where they are."
"Hayi!"
Soon, Taro Yamashita arrived at the headquarters of the First Army and finally met Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Yamashita-kun, it's great that you can come back safely. In the past two days, Yamashita-kun, how did you escape the encirclement and suppression by the People's Army?"
As soon as the two met, they exchanged a few words of greetings, and then Yoshio Shinozuka got straight to the point.
This sentence seems to mean that Shinozuka Yoshio is concerned about Yamashita Taro, but in fact he wants to see what Yamashita Taro has been doing in the past two days.
Only then can we return safely. If any stronghold was captured by the People's Army before, the defenders inside would only have two routes.
The first way is to die under the guns of the People's Army, which can be seen from the previous prisoner of war camps and small arsenals.
The second route was to conquer the city and recruit the surviving defenders into soldiers of the People's Army.
However, the second path is only suitable for the puppet army, because the People's Army will not accept the surrender of its own people.
Therefore, from this point of view, it is very suspicious that Yamashita Taro suddenly came back. After all, the last time the People's Army attacked Anjiang Town.
It will inevitably be surrounded by water, which can be seen from other aspects.
The People's Army made full preparations before attacking Anjiang Town. They first attacked Dongjiang County to draw their attention with a false shot.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers were arranged halfway to hold back the reinforcements they sent out.
From these two points, it can be seen that the People's Army must have surrounded Anjiang Town layer by layer.
Under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Yamashita Taro to lead people to break out.
It's not that he looked down upon Taro Yamashita, it was mainly that there were too few soldiers around Taro Yamashita, less than a thousand in total.
How could such a force successfully break through the encirclement? You must know that he sent out four regiments and the defenders of several nearby strongholds.
However, they did not reach Anjiang Town before the end of the battle. This shows that the People's Army was fully prepared to attack Anjiang Town.
