Li Yan raised his finger and pointed twice at the two hills on the east and north sides of the southern part of the Western Mountain. Facing Jiang Zhen, he explained: "Commander Jiang, these two locations I pointed to are
This is our first infantry force layout three days later. Take a look, these two places have a very dense forest on the mountainside. Whether it is day or night, this place is an excellent strategic location....
.”
While Li Yan was discussing the battle plan with Jiang Zhen, the Japs' combat command room was also nervously planning for this large-scale encirclement and suppression plan. At this time, the command room was already filled with several senior Japs officers who were watching.
He was thinking while looking at the Nishiyama sand table in the middle of the table, and sitting in the center of the table was the supreme commander of this encirclement and suppression operation, Ichiro Inoue.
At this time, Inoue Ichiro was not focusing all his thoughts on this battle plan, but was thinking about Yokota and Watanabe Yuuji. These two Japanese officers were once his students. He originally wanted to finish the encirclement and suppression of Liu Guangyao.
Afterwards, the independent regiment recalled Yokota and Watanabe Yuuji to the military headquarters, and then reorganized the troops to completely occupy the entire Nishiyama. However, at this juncture, Li Yan suddenly appeared in front of him, not only helping Li Laopao kill Yokota, but also
In the next few days, Watanabe, who he considered to be the most qualified imperial soldier, was also wiped out. In addition, due to Li Yan's sudden intervention, the entire airborne plan in Xishan County became the biggest failure.
So this time he spent all his money to encircle and suppress the Western Shandong garrison, and his article was finally written on Li Yan.
Just when Inoue Ichiro was secretly sulking, the Japanese staff member who was analyzing on the side suddenly patted him on the left shoulder. Inoue Ichiro followed the Japanese staff member's hand and looked at the table, and saw a forest in the north of Xishan on the sand table.
The translator then explained: "Our troops have the smallest number at this position. The Eighth Route Army has always been cunning. I am worried that they will attack this unit first. Xishan County and the circuitous route to the south of Xishan are relatively far from the Xishan North Road, so
It is difficult to provide support. I am afraid that the Japs behind the West Shandong stronghold will be difficult to get here quickly when our imperial army in the north is attacked. Commander Inoue... Although our troops are advancing very quickly, the terrain is not suitable for them.
We are at a very disadvantage." After saying this, the Japanese staff officer made a "please" gesture to Inoue Ichiro with his right hand.
Ichiro Inoue stepped forward and stared at the position where the Japanese staff member had just pointed his finger for a while, then turned his head back to the Japanese staff member and ordered: "Change the battle plan and temporarily move an imperial army unit on the hillside behind the east stronghold of Xishan."
Deployed to the northern part of Xishan Mountain to suppress the Eighth Route Army that may come to attack. The other group stayed on standby and moved one of the cannons on the mountain to the north as rear support. If they did not retreat, our two southern troops would be put on hold.
The plan to occupy the stronghold in West Shandong is changed to continue to advance north, join the two imperial army regiments in the north, and overwhelm these eight groups with numerical superiority... If they are ready to retreat, we will try to drive them to West Shandong
If everything goes smoothly in this crack in the middle of the hill here at the stronghold, this encirclement and suppression can be said to be a complete success."
"Yes!" The Japanese staff officer followed Inoue Ichiro's thoughts and thought for a while. Seeing that the plan was feasible, he turned around and left the combat command room, preparing to issue Inoue Ichiro's orders to the soldiers outside. Inoue Ichiro, who was sitting in the command room, saw that the combat plan had been prepared.
When the analysis was almost completed, the combat meeting ended early. The Japanese officers in the command room followed Ichiro Inoue's order and left the combat command room and walked towards their respective troops. However, among this group of Japanese officers,
, one of them did not return to the team immediately, but took advantage of the other Japanese officers not paying attention and came across the barbed wire fence to a small corner next to it and stopped. He lowered his head and opened up the pile of leaves deliberately placed at his feet.
When the leaves were completely wiped away, a hole was revealed in the ground. The Japs officer walked along the hole underground. When he reached the end, the Japs officer took off his Japs skin.
, put on the earphone in his left hand and sat in front of the transmitter, tapping away.
West Shandong Base Area, inside the combat conference room.
At this time, Jiang Zhen finally understood Li Yan's specific ideas, but when he was about to issue an order according to Li Yan's deployment, he suddenly saw an Eighth Route Army soldier who had just ran to the door with a gun in his hand.
After sealing the telegram, Jiang Zhen hurriedly walked over, picked up the telegram and read it from beginning to end. Feeling more and more confused, Jiang Zhen raised his head and asked the Eighth Route Army soldier: "Have you found out the specific source of this telegram?"
The Eighth Route Army soldier replied: "About two minutes after receiving the telegram, we received another encrypted message. It probably said that the Japanese officer who sent the intelligence in time was actually one of our own, and is now the Sixth Regiment under Commander Ichiro Inoue.
The commander-in-chief, and reminded us that if we can attack Ichiro Inoue's headquarters one day, we must not shoot him."
Li Yan clearly heard the name Inoue Ichiro, but he had never heard of this name before. But judging from Jiang Zhen's expression, he should know Inoue Ichiro, so Li Yan asked Jiang Zhen: "Jiang Lu"
Commander, who is this Inoue? If he is just attacking our western Shandong base, he doesn’t have to directly transfer troops here from the headquarters."
"Li Yan, do you still remember Yokota and Yuji Watanabe who once fell at our hands?" Jiang Zhen asked slowly. When Li Yan nodded, Jiang Zhen continued: "Both Yuji Watanabe and Yuji Watanabe were once
A student of Ichiro Inoue, if the mastermind behind this siege and suppression operation is someone else, he is out for revenge because of the airport incident, but today I got such information... I feel that in addition to the airport attack, there will be
There are other reasons, otherwise, a commander-level Ichiro Inoue would not have made such a big deal for these broken aircraft."
Li Yan recalled everything from when he came to Xishan to now, and finally concentrated on one point of Inoue Ichiro's true purpose. This point is his current self. Inoue Ichiro must have come here for him this time.
And he also remembered one thing: last time Li Hu had told about the cars bound for the West Shandong base area, and shortly after Xiaomei was rescued, Inoue Ichiro issued an order to fully attack the West Shandong base area, thinking that
Here Li Yan judged that the Japs officer sitting in the black car was probably Inoue. If his idea was true, then Ichiro Inoue's operation might have been planned long before Xiaomei was kidnapped.
