In the war room on the second underground floor, all the brigade and above-level commanders of the 39th Group Army have arrived.
Chi Chengfeng scratched his head and asked Yue Weihan impatiently: "Chief, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Can you tell me now?"
The Tumen Mutiny was originally a fake, and Chi Chengfeng knew it.
The entire 39th Group Army, except for Gao Shuxun who was far away in southern Hebei, other senior generals also knew about it.
Who is Li Qinglong? If you say that he dug out his one eye, some people will believe it. If you say that he dared to detain Yue Weihan, no one will believe it.
As for yesterday's melee, it was originally just a drill. The explosion effect of the artillery shells was simulated by firecrackers buried underground. As for the bullets used by the "both sides" of the war, they were blank rounds. As for the "killed" officers and soldiers,
They were just mass "actors" lying on the mountain pretending to be dead.
However, Chi Chengfeng and the others didn't know why Yue Weihan wanted to act in this big drama.
In the entire 39th Group Army, probably only the two masterminds, Yue Weihan and Liu Yi, know the details.
"Why are you so anxious?" Yue Weihan said, "You will know soon, not even this moment."
Liu Yi next to him joked: "Chi Chengfeng, don't you think for yourself?"
"Take a seat, Lao Chi is most annoyed by these twists and turns." Chi Chengfeng said angrily, "Just thinking about it makes my head hurt."
Li Yulong also said: "Yes, sir, the brothers outside have been lying on the mountain for most of the day. Although it is not cold now, it is not a problem to keep asking the brothers to lie down and pretend to be dead, right?"
"Send the order and let the brothers hold on for another half day." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "When it gets dark and the little devil's reconnaissance plane returns, you can rest." To be sure, the little devil's reconnaissance plane is really not a toy.
, actually swooped down twice in an attempt to shoot at the "remains" of the fallen officers and soldiers, but they were driven away by the anti-aircraft machine guns of Tumen Fortress.
The anti-aircraft machine gun of Tumen Fortress is actually the anti-aircraft type of the Type 24 Maxim heavy machine gun. Although the gun is no longer advanced, it is a mature technology fully mastered by the Nationalist Government. The Taihang Arsenal has the ability to produce only this for the time being, and each
Only twenty guns can be produced per month, and all the anti-aircraft machine guns that have been produced are given priority to be equipped with Tumen Fortress.
"Yes." Li Qinglong agreed and took the order.
Watching Li Qinglong leave, Liu Yi finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Yue Weihan: "Chief, do you think this old devil like Okamura Neji will be fooled?"
"Fooled?" Yue Weihan said incredulously, "Isn't this old devil Okamura confident?"
After saying this, Yue Weihan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said: "It's almost time. There should be news from the Eighth Route Army."
…………
Jinan Plain.
A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing gray cloth uniforms were marching in a hurry. The strength of this group of Eighth Route Army troops was about one battalion, with about four to five hundred people. The leader of the Eighth Route Army officer was the captain of the Qinghe County brigade who had met Yue Weihan several times.
Yu Ting, but now Yu Ting is no longer a captain, he is already the leader of the Qinghe County *** Regiment.
"If necessary, prepare to fight!" Yu Ting suddenly noticed a strange noise in front of him and immediately issued a battle order.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure jumped out of the ditch in front, and it turned out to be a scout of the *** Regiment.
The facial cleansing box in Yu Ting's hand immediately dropped down. He immediately said "be careful" and went up to meet him.
"Captain, the isolation ditch of the Ping-Han Railway is ahead." The scout met Yu Ting and gasped, "Ditch, on the road opposite the ditch, there are little devils and iron bastards patrolling, as well as cavalry, ***
Very strict.”
"His grandma, the little devil won't let us pass." Yu Ting pushed the brim of his hat with the muzzle of his gun, feeling a little angry.
After saying this, Yu Ting turned back and asked the guard: "Zhuzi, where are the political commissar and the 2nd Battalion now?"
The guard responded: "Calculating the time and distance, the political commissar and the 2nd Battalion should be outside the ditch by now."
"Damn, you stupid little devil is going to do something bad!" Yu Ting cursed fiercely, then raised his head and shouted, "Correspondent, immediately notify the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to move closer to the 1st Battalion."
The scout asked: "Captain, do you plan to attack by force?"
"Rescuing people is like putting out fire. If you really can't survive, you can only attack by force." Yu Ting said somewhat depressedly.
Yu Ting is familiar with the tight security of the Ping-Han Railway. Ever since the old devil Okamura Neji came, a ditch was built on both sides of the railway line. The ditch was deep and six meters wide. Every other
A gun tower was built every two miles, with a squad of Japanese troops and a platoon of puppet troops stationed there. A stronghold was built every ten miles, with a squad of Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops stationed.
Moreover, a road has been built on the inside of the *** ditch close to the railway line. On the road, there are Japanese iron bastards, cavalry and puppet army patrols patrolling 24 hours a day. Large-scale smuggling is almost impossible. If
In a forceful attack, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in nearby gun tower strongholds can arrive within ten minutes, and the large group of Japanese soldiers from nearby counties can also arrive within half an hour.
Just as Yu was anxiously waiting for the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to come to join him, another scout came back from the front.
"Commander, the little devils have all retreated into the turrets!" the scout said excitedly. "The iron bastards on the road and the cavalry have also retreated into their respective strongholds."
"Huh? The little devil has retreated to his stronghold?" Yu Ting suddenly perked up after hearing this.
"Captain, where did this little devil's song come from?" the commander of the 1st Battalion who had just come up asked confused.
"Who cares where he is singing from?" Yu Ting said coldly, "1st Battalion Commander, order the troops to use ladders and cross the ditch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the 1st Battalion Commander could respond, a cavalryman chased him from behind like a whirlwind, shouting from a distance: "The *** Regiment? Are you the Qinghe County *** Regiment?"
"We are the Qinghe County *** Group." Yu Ting frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"The leader is Commander Yu of the *** Regiment, right?" The cavalry correspondent dismounted, took out a letter from his satchel and handed it to Yu Ting, gasping, "This is a letter from Commander Yue to you.
"
Yu Ting took the letter and after reading it in a hurry, his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing the regiment leader's expression change, the 1st Battalion Commander suddenly asked with concern: "Regiment Commander, what did the commander say?"
"Nothing said, we won't go to Tumen Fortress!" Yu Ting hurriedly folded the letter and shouted immediately, "Order the troops to pass through the ditch immediately, and then surround all nearby gun towers and strongholds within ten miles!"
…………
Almost at the same time that Yu Ting received the order, more than thirty main regiments of the southern Hebei Military Region that had been deployed along the Pinghan-Han Railway also received orders from Commander Yue Weiguo. At about the same time, the central Hebei area had also deployed along the Ping-Han Railway.
The eight main regiments of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army that deployed the railway also received orders from Commander Liu!
…………
Tumen Fortress, Baodu Mountain Main Fortress.
Liu Yi excitedly walked into the war room on the second underground floor and said to Yue Weihan: "From the main office, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Southern Hebei Military Region have sent telegrams. Most of the 42 main regiments of the Eighth Route Army have entered the attack position. The Ping-Han Railway starts from the north.
Ding County, south to Xingtai, the artillery towers, strongholds, and county towns along the line have all been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Okamura Neiji is indeed confident." Yue Weihan nodded, and suddenly said in an unreasonable way, "Chief of Staff, call Ma Zhankui immediately and let Nan Zao Yunzi go."
…………
Cuimingzhuang, eastern suburb of Peiping.
Okamura Neji raised the tea cup in his hand, smiled and said to Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake, Chief of Staff, and Major General Masapan Hirata, Deputy Chief of Staff: "Tanabe-kun, Hirata-kun, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?
"
Tanabe Moritake smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Excellency, Commander, we really are not in the mood for tea."
Masaru Hirata also said worriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation of the Tumen Battle is so confusing and full of fog. Until now, we are still unable to correctly judge Yue Weihan's intentions. Is the Tumen Mutiny true or false? What if the Tumen Mutiny is true?
If it’s a lie, what exactly does Yue Weihan want to do?”
Okamura Neiji took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "Have you two ever heard of the idiom 'false road defeats Guo'?"
"Of course." Tanabe Shengwu said without hesitation, "The false road to defeat Guo is the sixth tactic in the Thirty-Six Strategies of 'Melee Strategy'. It is also an allusion from the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China. During the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, Liu Bei also used
Using a false strategy to attack Guo, under the pretense of attacking Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang of Xichuan was killed along the way."
"Tanabe-kun is indeed very knowledgeable, haha." Okamura Neji said with a smile.
Tanabe Shengwu said thoughtfully: "Commander, are you saying that Yue Weihan is also 'falsely attacking Guo'?"
"To be precise, it is Yue Weihan and the Eighth Route Army who are joining forces to 'defeat Guo' on a false road." Okamura Neiji said, "This 'Guo' is the Tumen Fortress, and this road is the Ping-Han Railway! The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Southern Hebei Military Region mobilized
We have gathered thirty or forty main regiments with no less than 100,000 main troops. Their purpose is not to go to Tumen Fortress to rescue people, but to attack the Ping-Han Railway!"
"Ah!?" Tanabe Moritake lost his voice, "Then the commander ordered you to get out of the way?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, aren't we trying to lure a wolf into the house?" Shogun Hirata also said.
"Luring the wolf into the house?" Okamura Neiji shook his head and said calmly, "No, this is called inviting you into the urn!"
Tanabe Moritake and Hirata Shogun couldn't help exchanging glances. The two of them still had some doubts in their hearts. In their opinion, the Domon Incident was not fake at all. If it was true, then
It can only show that Yue Weihan's scheming is so deep that he can easily manipulate many forces at his fingertips.
While he was thinking about it, Kato Keiroku hurriedly entered, then he suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Miss Yunzi sent an urgent message back from the Shimen Secret Service. The Tumen Mutiny was fake. It was a trap jointly set up by Yue Weihan and the Eighth Route Army."
, its purpose is to attack the Ping-Han Railway from Dingxian to Xingtai!"
Tanabe Moritake and Hirata Shogun heard this and immediately took a breath of air.
When he looked back at Okamura Neji, there was already a hint of obvious reverence in their eyes. If nothing else, the commander's keen eyesight alone was enough to be astonishing!
But Okamura Neiji said something completely unrelated: "Unfortunately, in order to obtain this information, Miss Yunzi's intelligence station may not be preserved."
