Iwakura can speak a few words in Chinese, but it is obvious that he does not know much about Chinese culture.
Faced with Li Yunlong's question, he didn't know the answer, so he could only reply with embarrassment:
"I've heard that Your Excellency Li Yunlong was born as a warrior, has been on the battlefield for many years, and is a fierce general. I didn't expect that you can write so powerfully. If you surrender to the imperial army, Commander Okamura will definitely welcome you."
This is interesting. Now that this little devil is under the eaves, he dares to persuade Li Yunlong to surrender in such a public way.
Li Yunlong thought for a while and said happily: "Brother Iwakura, you must be familiar with Iwakura Tomoshi, right? Did he ever waver for the Meiji Restoration?
As a Kyoto native, you must regard him as your idol, right?"
The Iwakura Tomomi mentioned by Li Yunlong was a major contributor to Japan’s Meiji Restoration.
It can even be said that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which gradually became stronger, was able to reach such a strong point today, and Iwakura Tomomi regarded this old Japanese as having made outstanding contributions.
Li Yunlong pondered that the Japanese leader in front of him also had the surname Iwakura, so he might be a descendant of Iwakura Toshio.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Li Yunlong has also begun to understand some Japanese culture during this period, so he naturally has to pretend at this moment.
As expected.
As soon as Li Yunlong said these words, Iwakura immediately understood Li Yunlong's determination to resist Japan.
"Sir, I was offended.
Iwakura-senpai is the totem of my family, and I and other juniors feel ashamed.
Your Excellency and Mr. Iwakura are both loyal patriots. Please forgive me for my mistakes."
"Red bean puree, Smi Masai!" Iwakura lowered his head to Li Yunlong with full apology.
Li Yunlong proudly raised his head at some of the accompanying Eighth Route Army commanders.
It seems to be telling invisibly, do you see, we, Lao Li, can still make his little devil bow his head and admit his mistakes by relying on cultural means!
Then, Lao Li patted Iwakura on the shoulder and said seriously:
"Brother Iwakura, it seems that your Chinese culture still needs to be strengthened.
I will reluctantly be your Chinese teacher for once. This so-called Hu Ma is actually your little devil, and this Dragon City is the fortification set up by our Eighth Route Army along the transportation line of your Japanese army. As for the flying generals, then
Of course it’s me, Li Yunlong.
What does it mean?
As long as I, Li Yunlong, am here in Shexian County, hehe, you little devils can't even think of attacking through this direction!"
"Oh, by the way, your mission has been completed this time. You will give this painting and calligraphy to your Commander Okamura for me.
My old comrade-in-arms Kong Jie got married, and he sent a lot of congratulatory gifts. Next time I get married, I have to return the favor!
By the way, I also ask you to take the relics and corpses of the two captains who died in Xiangtangpu for burial! Considering the fate of meeting each other thousands of miles away, I won’t charge you!"
Li Yunlong said, handing the words written by himself to Iwakura.
"..." Iwakura, his face trembling, replied for the sake of the relics and remains of the warriors: "Your Excellency is a respectable, true soldier!"
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Iwakura, go and have something to eat. I will send you on your way early tomorrow morning!"
The smile before parting made Iwakura shudder again.
When Iwakura went back to tell the other Japanese and traitors that Li Yunlong was going to send everyone on their way, a group of people started to cry while eating.
An officer of the puppet army said: "Taijun, this Li Yunlong has always been evil-faced and cruel-hearted, and does not follow the rules. I think we are in the tiger's mouth this time. I am afraid that the disaster is worse than the danger."
The brigade commander arrived at the frontline headquarters and saw that the puppet soldiers were crying and crying that day.
Iwakura even went to the brigade commander to cry and complain, saying that Li Yunlong would deal with them secretly.
The brigade commander felt a little confused, so he asked Li Yunlong what he was doing.
As a result, Lao Li looked confused: "Old brigade commander, this is unfair. Didn't I just say that I would send them back to HD early tomorrow morning?"
The brigade commander came back to his senses and cursed with a smile: "How can you describe this fine farewell as a funeral? It seems that your reputation, Li Yunlong, is too bad among the Japanese. You use deceit and abduction at all costs.
If this little devil falls into your hands, your heart will almost freeze."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Old brigade commander, that's not possible. I have been studying culture recently and changing the outside from the inside!
I even gave Okamura a poem as a gift this time. Why would he be so embarrassed not to give him a gift next time I get married?
The devils all came with gifts for Lao Kong’s wedding, so we can’t leave them behind when we get married.
The handwriting written by me, Li Yunlong, is exquisite and precious!"
The brigade commander smiled and said: "You are much smarter, so would you like to ask for one for me?"
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "How can the small gift from Okamura be worthy of you, the brigade commander? It has to be the emperor's special envoy to give the gift!"
The brigade commander smiled even more. No wonder he had always liked Li Yunlong. It was a lot of fun to get along with this kid.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. I haven't had a chance to communicate with you for a long time. Ever since you made up your mind to build a rapid response force directly under our Taihang, you have devoted yourself to this path. p>
But Li Yunlong, you have to understand that our Eighth Route Army currently lacks mobile troops, and we have just built one like this. You, the military commander, may be replaced at any time.
So you kid, you have to think carefully. You must have comprehensive command capabilities. If I give you a mobile unit today, you can lead the battle. If I give you regular infantry another day, you still have to command me!
This battle around Licheng, Shexian, Xiangyuan, Lucheng and other five cities can be regarded as a large-scale battle. You, my boy, just happen to study hard with me. This is a blessing that most people can't ask for.
”
Li Yunlong immediately closed his heels and solemnly replied: "Yes!"
After just responding, the boy rolled his eyes, looked at the general on the side, and said without changing his expression: "Old Qin, you heard it, follow the example of our brigade commander! The brigade commander is calling you.
You can do whatever you want, and you can't compromise or complain. Even if the brigade commander scolds you, you can't contradict the brigade commander, let alone fight with him."
Brigadier: "???"
What kind of stuff is this?
"Why, Li Yunlong, do you feel wronged by asking me to learn how to command large-scale battles?"
Li Yunlong said: "How dare I do this!"
But then he muttered again, "This Lao Kong is personally guided by the division commander. The boss will occasionally take care of him for two days, and the deputy chief of staff will study the battle situation with Lao Kong when he has nothing to do.
Even when Ding Wei was fighting the Japanese south of Licheng, he was guided by the deputy division commander and Brigadier Chen.
Why is the treatment worse when you come to my place?"
When the brigade commander heard this, he didn't understand what Li Yunlong was thinking, and he immediately became furious.
This is a blind thing. The brigade commander raised his foot and was about to kick someone. Li Yunlong was so frightened that he ran away quickly.
Everyone’s laughter came from behind.
……
……
Finally, in fear, Japanese Shaozuo Iwakura and his Japanese puppet troops were sent to HD by Li Yunlong.
When they were convinced that their group had indeed escaped from the tiger's mouth, had completely returned to the stable security area of the empire, and was protected by the military police, Iwakura and his group almost cried with joy.
Finally escaped from the clutches of the black-hearted Li Datou.
After wandering around, Iwakura met Okamura and gave Okamura the calligraphy that Li Yunlong asked him to hand over.
Okamura is nicknamed China Master, and he still knows a lot about Chinese culture. After reading this calligraphy written by Li Yunlong, he said in a deep voice:
"The so-called Dragon City Flying Generals, it seems now, are the Eighth Route Army troops that have become a serious problem for us, namely Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and those damn Eighth Route Army generals."
"Besides, after entering the Eighth Route Army base area, are there any other gains?"
Iwakura recalled what he saw and heard on the way, and replied: "The Eighth Route Army was very cautious. After our gift-giving team delivered the gifts, they did not let us go immediately, but specially arranged for people to guard us.
Therefore, we are unable to access the core areas of the Eighth Route Army base areas, but judging from the appearance of the Eighth Route Army base areas, the development of their base areas has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years.
The villagers I saw along the way seemed to have a prosperous life and their faces were rosy.
This is very different from many Chinese people in quasi-security areas and even our stable security areas.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army's defense system seems to be extremely tight. When our team was still in the guerrilla zone, the Eighth Route Army seemed to have received the news.
Later, if we had not revealed in time that we were the gift-giving troops who came to celebrate Kong Jie’s wedding, they might have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army troops in those places on the way.”
Okamura nodded, waved his hand, and asked Iwakura to leave.
He was quite upset. It was already the third day of the sweep.
According to the plan, after a large-scale exchange between the security forces of the Twelfth Army and the First Army, they will cooperate with the main forces in the field to take the lead in attacking the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Shandong.
Use a wide net and conduct large-scale vertical and horizontal blockades to completely isolate the Eighth Route Army's base areas, and launch layer-by-layer raids to create a depth of tens of miles.
However, the situation reported by the vanguard units was not ideal.
Especially in the Taihang base area, with the recent winter offensive, the Eighth Route Army won a great victory, and many guerrilla areas were converted into Eighth Route Army base areas.
The area of the Eighth Route Army's base area has once again been expanded, and its strategic depth has also been greatly increased.
It is even exaggerated to the point that in some of the deeper core areas of the Eighth Route Army base areas, even if there were no defenses along the way, it would still take days and nights for the Japanese army to advance according to accurate maps.
Not to mention the traps set by the Eighth Route Army along the way, which has created a defense system for so many years.
When the old Japanese soldier Okamura was looking sad, the Japanese chief of staff Tanabe arrived. He held a battle plan and reported to Okamura:
"General, regarding the combat situation of the frontline troops in the past few days, I have just carefully studied the battle situation with the staff and found out.
Today, it has become extremely difficult for our army to completely conquer the Eighth Route Army base areas.
The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the scale development of the troops and the defense of the base areas, have already far exceeded our army's expectations.
Under such circumstances, unless we mobilize all the combat troops from the frontal battlefield, concentrate our superior forces, and attack the Eighth Route Army base areas at all costs, it will be possible to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army base areas.
But even so, with the vast mountains, sufficient strategic depth, the cunningness of the Eighth Route Army, and the troublesome guerrilla tactics, it is still very difficult for us to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied areas."
Okamura nodded, and he didn't understand the current situation.
He also no longer expected to destroy all the Eighth Route Army base areas and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army.
He only wanted to build a stable rear area in North China to cope with the Pacific battlefield.
Therefore, for Okacun, the Jizhong Military Region on the Eighth Route is inevitable.
Only by taking control of Hebei Province in one fell swoop can Okacun stay stable in Peiping.
"At this moment, we still follow the original plan to force the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area of Taihang Taiyue to retreat to the mountainous area, and then concentrate our forces to encircle Jizhong and completely destroy the Jizhong Military Region."
Tanabe deeply agrees with this.
And when he comes here now, he is actually offering advice.
"General, based on our analysis of the Eighth Route Army base areas and the situation of the Eighth Route Army troops, after discussions with other staff members, we agreed that if we follow the old traditional tactics of heavily encircling the net and advancing towards the Eighth Route Army base areas, it is no longer suitable for the current battlefield.
.
The equipment level of the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly, and the firepower configuration they have at hand should not be underestimated. If they continue to rush forward with heavy troops and go deep alone, they will fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army and lose troops and generals, or in the worst case, the entire army will be in danger of annihilation.<
/p>
So I think we might as well change to a flexible sweep mode!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Okamura asked.
Tanabe replied: "General, I think we can use a small number of reconnaissance troops, equipped with armored vehicles, to try to conduct fire reconnaissance on the Eighth Route Army's defenses along the way while advancing towards the Eighth Route Army base area.
Once you encounter an Eighth Route Army position along the way, you will immediately use the mobility of the armored forces to retreat, and then use artillery and aerial firepower to bomb the Eighth Route Army position.
If the Eighth Route Army defending the positions is weak, we can take the opportunity to occupy these positions.
In addition, when we advance to the Eighth Route Army base area, we can no longer just advance along the traffic lines as before.
We must also occupy commanding heights and traffic arteries along the way, as well as various pass fortifications, and form a relatively tight, continuous, and complete front line to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking the opportunity to engage in roundabout operations.
Now, although the Eighth Route Army has achieved great development, especially the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area.
But overall, the Eighth Route Army faces difficulties in logistical supplies and lacks heavy equipment.
Our army can completely use armored forces to maneuver quickly, raid important traffic arteries in the Eighth Route Army base, control the traffic arteries, and cut off the Eighth Route Army's supplies and backup.
Armored troops, main force, and air force quickly coordinated to force the Eighth Route Army to engage in battle with our army.
If the Eighth Route Army does not want to be attacked by our army from the front, it will have to retreat, and we will also be driven to the predetermined mountainous area to cooperate with the completion of the follow-up combat plan."
"What if the Eighth Route Army really concentrates its forces to counterattack?" Okamura asked.
"Then retreat and take advantage of our army's mobility. After retreating, immediately counterattack with artillery and aerial firepower. If you can't defeat it, attack. Occupy the position. If you can't defeat it, withdraw. Use artillery and aircraft bombing. Come on.
Beating back and forth repeatedly.
We must stick to the Eighth Route Army, press forward step by step, and drive these Eighth Route Army troops into the mountains step by step.
This tactic can be called a sticky tactic!" Tanabe introduced...
