"Old Ding, you are no longer interested. What are you hiding from me?" Li Yunlong said dissatisfied: "You don't want to say it, but I listened to it. Don't drag me to deal with him!"
Li Yunlong prepared to play hard to get, hoping to get Ding Wei to take the bait.
"Is there such a good thing?" Ding Wei said deliberately, "Then I will do it alone. Anyway, you are dragging me down."
After saying that, Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie again and said: "Come on, Lao Kong, without Li Yunlong being such a dragster, we can fight much more easily."
"Old Li, just squat here and watch the show. Old Ding and I are going to formulate tactics!" Kong Jie smiled and followed Ding Wei.
"Hey, you two are getting bored now, wait for me!" Seeing that Ding Wei didn't follow the routine, Li Yunlong hurriedly chased after him.
Both parties began their own plans.
Ding Wei often conducted actual combat exercises, so he also made a batch of practice bombs. Except for the lack of lethality, everything was the same as in actual combat.
The death setting is also very simple. As long as there is smoke on the body, it will be judged as "killed".
Cheng Xiazi and others came to cause trouble, but Ding Wei was not stingy and gave them equipment to strengthen the battalion.
Although he had the equipment in hand, Cheng Xiazi still felt a little unsure.
Ding Wei's confident look does not guarantee that they have some dirty tricks.
"Lao Cheng, what are you afraid of?" One of the group leaders said dissatisfied, "There are so many of us, but we can't deal with a little Kong Jie?"
Blind Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, and it's not like you don't know that Ding Wei has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
After a pause, he continued: "Since Ding Wei dares to use 50 people to fight us, he must have a plan to deal with it."
"There are only 50 people. What are you afraid of? Our number is several times his, so why can't we fight?" Another group leader was dissatisfied and said: "As long as we use machine guns to guard the easiest mountain road up.
How could that guy Ding Wei charge up? Just those 50 people are not enough to fire a machine gun several times, let alone we have mortars.
As long as they dare to attack, we will blow them up with cannons and make sure to teach this kid a lesson."
Cheng Xiazi shook his head and said: "I feel that things are not that simple. In this critical battle, whether it is the battle location or the firepower configuration, we took advantage.
The more Ding Wei behaves like this, the more I feel that he has no good intentions!"
Just as the two sides were preparing for military exercises, the Japanese army also noticed some movements in the Eighth Route Army's base areas.
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka leaned back in his chair, and what was on the table was a document that had just been uploaded.
Except for a few words about meeting, regiment, and exchange, the rest of the text is still a string of codes waiting to be decrypted, and the Japanese have no idea what it means.
Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't take it too seriously. He just thought that the Eighth Route Army was having some internal exchanges. Just when he was about to throw away this information, Ryosuke Kamiya came.
After glancing at the contents of the intelligence, this guy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Regiment headquarters, exchanges, meetings, seemingly ordinary words, but if combined with the previous intelligence, it seems that there are huge secrets hidden.
Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Kamiya-kun, I think you can tell me why you left this information.
It's just that the Eighth Route Army is conducting internal exchanges, which is a common thing. Just relying on these few words, it has no interception value."
Kamiya Ryosuke paused and responded: "Your Majesty General, if you only rely on this letter, it will naturally not be of much value, but if it cooperates with the actions of the Eighth Route Army, this letter will be of extraordinary value."
"Oh?" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Keep talking."
Kamiya Ryosuke said: "Have you forgotten that the Eighth Route Army suddenly mobilized troops a few days ago? Do you think they want to start a war again?"
Yoshio Shinozuka recalled for a while and nodded.
He did remember this incident, but he did not notice anything unusual at first, and the strongholds were not attacked. Afterwards, he forgot about the incident.
"Judging from this information, the Eighth Route Army may be here for this exchange meeting." Ryosuke Kamiya pondered.
Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but sit up straight: "Kamiya-kun, continue talking."
Kamiya Ryosuke added: "If it was just an ordinary exchange meeting, the Eighth Route Army wouldn't have to make such a big fuss.
At the beginning, most of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi showed signs of mobilization. At the beginning, we were still very surprised and did not understand what was happening. But now it seems..."
"How does it look now?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
Ryosuke Kamiya said confidently: "Now it seems that the scale of this Eighth Route Army exchange meeting is beyond our imagination."
After a pause, Kamiya Ryousuke continued: "If it was just a general exchange meeting, the Eighth Route Army would not make such a big noise.
This exchange meeting gathered at least 50 key officers from the Eighth Route Army. At first, I was wondering why the always steady Eighth Route Army would make such a move.
Now it seems that the facts are obvious, because those troops need to protect the safety of their regimental commanders!"
Seeing Ryousuke Kamiya's longing look on his face, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly and said, "Kamiya-kun, do you want to carry out a beheading operation?"
"Yes, General, this is the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army." Ryosuke Kamiya said without hesitation.
"If their regiment-level cadres are eliminated, it will be a devastating blow to them, and the morale of the soldiers below will also be severely damaged.
The troops have lost their commander and they will be leaderless!
You can imagine that a group of army commanders were all destroyed in one battle. Even our Imperial Army lost dozens of captains at once and would be unable to recover in a short period of time."
Yoshio Shinozuka was yearning for it, but he quickly shook his head: "You should know very well how tight the current defense of the Eighth Route Army is. Even if we want to infiltrate, it will be very difficult.
Especially the defeat in the last battle was a disgrace to the Imperial Army, and since the Eighth Route Army dared to hold a meeting in front of us, they must have been well prepared and not worried about our sudden attack."
"Your Excellency General, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Are you going to watch it slip through your fingers like this?" Kamiya Ryousuke was unwilling to give up.
Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said: "It's not that I want to give up, but the information this time has no beginning and no end. We don't even know when it will be until we completely decipher it."
Ryousuke Kamiya wanted to retort, but Yoshio Shinozuka interrupted him directly: "Kamiya-kun, I am not questioning your ability, but we finally won once.
The morale has recovered a little, and I don’t want another accident to happen, which will have a devastating blow to the morale of the imperial army.”
The last time he almost wiped out the New 1st and 2nd New Regiments, this incident made Yoshio Shinozuka excited for a long time. Naturally, he would not take risks easily this time.
"Besides, we don't know that the place where the Eighth Route Army is meeting this time should not be bumped into like a headless chicken." Shinozuka Yoshio said solemnly.
Of course he wanted to kill the Eighth Route Army with one blow and eliminate dozens of Eighth Route Army officers at once. Once word of this got out, it would greatly enhance Yoshio Shinozuka's prestige.
Let the affairs of the Imperial Army, which was originally a bit sluggish, quickly bottom out, but the prerequisite for all this is success.
What if it fails again?
Moreover, where to start is also a huge problem. You can't try and make mistakes again and again. The Eighth Route Army will definitely be aware of it.
According to the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, once it goes too deep into their hinterland, it will only be our own side that suffers.
Ryosuke Kamiya was silent.
The last battle greatly encouraged Ryosuke Kamiya's ambitions. Due to the establishment of the defense line, they currently don't have many battles.
Now that he finally encountered a big fish, Kamiya Ryousuke naturally wanted to catch it.
"Your Excellency General, this time the Eighth Route Army has gathered so many officers at once, there may be officers above the brigade level..." Kamiya Ryosuke suddenly said.
"What did you say!" Shinozuka Yoshio stood up suddenly, his tone excited.
"The Eighth Route Army has mobilized so many troops this time, maybe there will be cadres above the brigade level showing up this time." Ryosuke Kamiya threw out a bait.
He knew very well that besides Ding Wei of the 28th Brigade, the person Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to eliminate the most was the commander of the 386th Brigade.
As expected, after Yoshio Shinozuka heard this information, his whole body suddenly became energetic.
He knew that Yoshio Shinozuka was already tempted.
"Kamiya-kun, if we don't know the location of this meeting, what's the point of even having division-level cadres go there?" Shinozuka Yoshio said sadly.
"Where will the meeting be held? Ryosuke Kamiya thought for a while and said: "Sir General, I think there is no difficulty in the question of where the meeting will be held!"
"How do you say that?" Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes lit up.
Ryosuke Kamiya said confidently: "If nothing else happens, I think they will definitely choose the 28th Brigade as the location for this meeting!"
"Brigade 28!"
Hearing this number, Shinozuka Yoshio became even more uneasy and said in a low voice: "Why do you think so?"
"Your Excellency General, besides the 28th Brigade, is there a more suitable place for the Eighth Route Army to hold a meeting?" Kamiya Ryojioko said.
"Headquarters?" Ryosuke Kamiya asked himself and answered: "This is absolutely impossible. The location of the headquarters is top secret. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to expose it stupidly."
After a pause, Kamiya Ryosuke added: "It's impossible at the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander is very smart. He can imagine that this operation may attract our attention, so it is impossible to expose his position."
"In this case, there is only one 28th Brigade. That guy Ding Wei is in the limelight and has made many military exploits. Such a good general cannot go to other people's bases to hold meetings in person?"
Ryousuke Kamiya said with great certainty: "So there is only one possibility, those Eighth Route Army officers will choose to exchange and study in the 28th Brigade.
Rather than talking about exchanges and learning, it is better to let Ding Wei teach combat experience! In order to highlight the importance the troops attach to Ding Wei, maybe the brigade commander will also go together."
Finally, Kamiya Ryosuke added: "So, General, if we take action, it is very likely that we will kill the brigade commander together."
Shinozuka Yoshio fell into deep thought. If he could eliminate the brigade commander, it would be enough to cause a big shock within the Eighth Route Army.
Maybe this is an opportunity, just like last time, to create a new group and a new group at once.
If you can eliminate that brigade commander, it might change the way the base camp views you.
But Yoshio Shinozuka, who had suffered a lot at the hands of Ding Wei, did not dare to act rashly at this moment.
"Kamiya-kun." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Hai!" Ryosuke Kamiya responded.
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Find a way to support this information, determine the credibility of this information, and..."
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Make sure the brigade commander will show up!"
"Hai!" Ryosuke Kamiya responded again.
Yoshio Shinozuka was very excited.
If everything goes as Kamiya Ryosuke said, it will be their chance to defeat the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
Yoshio Shinozuka is lying when he says he is not moved.
But until the facts are clear, he is absolutely unwilling to take this risk. Yoshio Shinozuka has already suffered too much at the hands of Ding Wei.
The most recent time, this guy actually reserved a team and directly rescued Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
Various incidents caused him to have some shadows about Ding Wei. He had no intention of taking action against Ding Wei before he had an absolutely complete plan.
"Kamiya-kun, do you think this might be a trap?" Shinozuka Yoshio said suddenly.
"Trap?" Kamiya Ryousuke was dumbfounded.
There must be a limit to Shinozuka Yoshio's paranoia. The Eighth Route Army seemed to have nothing to do. Did they set up such a trap?
"General, I think you are overly worried." Kamiya Ryousuke said: "If this matter is a bait, if something goes wrong, it will cause irreparable losses to them."
"Xinxi, you are right." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "No matter what, first determine the authenticity of this intelligence. Remember not to alert the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hai!" Ryosuke Kamiya responded.
Yoshio Shinozuka has made up his mind that if verified, this information will be true.
No matter what the price, he would wipe out all those Eighth Route Army officers.
Once the operation is successful, it will be a huge victory for the imperial army. If he can be successfully captured alive, he will be famous in history!
Maybe he can even kill Ding Wei!
Ding Wei is the soul of the 28th Brigade. Once he can be killed, the 28th Brigade, which has brought great trouble to the Eighth Route Army, will inevitably be depressed.
This also solved a problem for the imperial army.
The 28th Brigade is a thorn in the side of the Imperial Army.
When facing them, the Imperial Army did not win a single battle at all. Once it can attack this army, it will avenge the Imperial Army's previous humiliation!
He had even thought of a name for this plan in advance.
Um…
It's called the Tiger Binding Plan.
Suddenly, he thought of a more serious problem.
Where is the base of the 28th Brigade?
Where will they hold this conference?
After all, the 28th Brigade has strong soldiers and numerous bases, so how can it be judged so easily?
Yoshio Shinozuka raised this question.
"Your Excellency, General, it's easy to determine their location." Kamiya Ryousuke calmly said: "Just think about it, if the Eighth Route Army makes such a big noise, it will definitely take a lot of precautions."
As soon as these words came out, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly understood.
The reason is actually very simple.
Since the Eighth Route Army is going to hold a meeting, and many officers are gathering together, security must be done well.
After all, once something goes wrong, no one can avoid the consequences.
Therefore, just look at that area where the Eighth Route Army suddenly increased their vigilance, then this area must be the location of the meeting!
After thinking about this, Yoshio Shinozuka felt much better.
Ding Wei didn't know what Yoshio Shinozuka was thinking at this moment. He was formulating a battle plan on how to deal with Blind Cheng.
"Old Ding, your plan is quite bold." Li Yunlong looked at the battle map and couldn't help but said.
