"Red flag?" Okamura Neiji's face was as ugly as eating a stool, because he knew that in the Chinese army, only the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party would use red flags.

The Eighth Route Army is far away in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other northern areas.

In the south, there is only the New Fourth Army.

As we all know, although Yang Chen's Huben Regiment is closely related to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, it is not yet an armed force led by the Communist Party.

As a result, the encirclement and suppression campaign he launched this time with tens of thousands of troops and countless types of combat materials has failed to a certain extent.

Because the strategic value of a guerrilla army of the New Fourth Army was simply not comparable to that of Yang Chen's Huben Regiment.

Even the threat of the entire New Fourth Army to the Great Japanese Empire is far inferior to that of the Huben Regiment.

Seeing that Neiji Okamura's expression was not looking good, the chief of staff next to him asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, since the enemy army in this siege is not our target, should we end the siege here?"

"I don't need it for the time being. Since the crooked attack is encircling the New Fourth Army, let's destroy them." Neji Okamura thought for a while and said, "In a broad sense, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party are also part of China's national defense forces. part.

Eliminating as many of them as possible is tantamount to weakening China's national defense.

Moreover, the troops led by the Communist Party seem to be weak and do not have much combat effectiveness, and they almost never fight directly with the Imperial Army.

However, they often harass the enemy's rear, which also annoys our army and causes headaches.

However, this army is very cunning, specially drilled into the deep mountains, making it very difficult to destroy them.

This time, I just took advantage of this opportunity to clean them up and show off the might of our Great Japanese Imperial Army in front of the Communist Party.

Let them know that they were not dealt with before, not because of how powerful they are, but because I, the Imperial Japanese Army, disdain this!

If you want to exterminate them, it is no different from crushing an ant! "

The chief of staff nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and had to say that Neiji Okamura made a lot of sense.

The Imperial Army did not spend less effort to wipe out the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party.

A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, but the effect is very small. It can be said that the investment is not directly proportional to the return.

In the end, I had to let it go.

"Since the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanyang Village are not the Huben Regiment, where will Yang Chen and this army go now?" Neiji Okamura asked.

This is what he cares most about now!

The chief of staff, several staff officers, and adjutants all lowered their heads, seemingly in deep thought, but they were speechless, because they couldn't guess where the Huben regiment might have gone now.

Neiji Okamura didn't seem to expect any useful answers from his staff officers.

Instead, he walked to the combat map, stared at the map for a while, and finally picked up a baton and frowned and said: "From the map, it is unlikely that the Huben regiment will cross the Huaihe River north and enter the Huaibei area after breaking through from Gushi. .

The most likely and most suitable place for them to go should be this area! "

Several devils' staff adjutants leaned forward to take a look when they heard the words, and what Neji Okamura was pointing at was the area from Jinzhai County to Huoshan County.

Almost as soon as Okamura Ningji's voice fell, another Japanese signal soldier broke in with a telegram.

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?" a staff officer next to Neiji Okamura immediately asked loudly.

"Your Excellency, a message has just been transferred from the Special High School.

Huoshan County, which was just captured by the imperial army, was breached by a mysterious Chinese army. More than 1000 defenders of the imperial army and hundreds of imperial association troops were wiped out! "The communications soldier reported with a look of panic.

"Nani?" Okamura Ningji's face changed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the telegram!"

The communications soldier hurried forward, and handed over the message respectfully with both hands.

After Neiji Okamura took over, he glanced at ten lines and read the detailed battle report just collected by the special high school as quickly as possible.

He said awe-inspiringly: "Baga! This Chinese army that attacked Huoshan County and wiped out the Sano brigade must be Yang Chen's tiger regiment!"

"How did you see it, Commander?" the chief of staff hurriedly asked.

"First, lure the enemy out and ambush them halfway! Then, they took the opportunity to seize the county seat, thereby annihilating the county defenders in one fell swoop! This is very similar to Yang Chen's command style!

And as I said just now, the Huben Regiment is very likely to be hidden in the mountainous areas of Jinzhai County and Huoshan County.

Moreover, to the north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huaihe River, only Yang Chen's Huben Regiment had the strength to capture the county and wipe out the Imperial Army's garrison troops!

Besides, the fight was so 'beautiful'.

Our army was completely wiped out, and it was too late to even send out a telegram for help.

In the end, we still rely on the information network of the special high school, otherwise we would not know that Huoshan County has fallen! "Ningji Okamura frowned and analyzed a little bit.

After all the devil officers listened, they were all stunned.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now?" A lieutenant staff officer hurriedly asked the most critical question.

"Immediately order the 3rd and 6th divisions to immediately withdraw from the encirclement and secretly assemble in Huoshan County!" Neiji Okamura said decisively.

"However, the New Fourth Army in the encirclement is about to be destroyed. Should we just let them go?" Another lieutenant staff officer asked unwillingly.

Ningji Okamura pondered for a while and said: "The Huben Regiment has just captured Huoshan County, so they may not know that they have been exposed.

Right now is the time when their vigilance is at their lowest, so our actions must be fast enough not to give them a chance to react.

Yang Chen is extremely cunning!

Otherwise, once it is alerted, the main force will be withdrawn from Huoshan County and retreated into the mountains.

This vast thousands of miles is too far away from the mountains, we want to destroy it again, but it will not be so easy! !

Of course, this hateful New Fourth Army cannot be let go! "

Chapter 844 The Huben Group Arrives (Second Update!)

After a pause, Gangcun Ningci said again: "How about this, order the 3rd and 6th divisions to withdraw the main force, leaving only a small number of troops, and continue to encircle and suppress the remaining New Fourth Army.

I think that at this time, the main force of the New Fourth Army surrounded by the imperial army should have been depleted. "

"Your Excellency, Commander, is wise!" All the devils and staff officers flattered one after another.

However, the devil's chief of staff, who carried the rank of major general on his shoulders, frowned and said worriedly: "Your Excellency, since it is determined that the Huben Regiment is in Huoshan County, will there be some trouble with the strength of the 3rd and 6th divisions alone?" What's not enough?"

"The Huben regiment was severely injured by the imperial army in Gushi County, and its vitality was severely injured!

Not only were there heavy casualties, nine out of ten were also lost in terms of light and heavy weapons.
