"Supposing that a certain infantry brigade that pulls the net is encircled by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army,"

"As long as this infantry brigade persists for two hours, the adjacent infantry brigade can arrive."

"Although the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area is not what it used to be, it is still unable to compete with the imperial army's more than 10 infantry brigades, so 15 to 20 infantry brigades are sufficient."

Neiji Okamura said noncommittally: "Mr. Shinozuka, I wonder if you have thought about it?"

"The Eighth Route Army's Taihang banditry area has a radius of more than 100 kilometers. Even if 20 infantry brigades are used to pull the net, the distance between each other is more than 5 kilometers. What do you do if the Eighth Route Army divides its troops?"

"A 5-kilometer-wide gap can be easily penetrated by less than a thousand people, right?"

Although Ningji Okamura has just arrived, he has read a large number of battle reports after taking office.

I already have some understanding of the battles between the North China Front Army and the Eighth Route Army in the past three years. I know that when the Eighth Route Army was raided by the Japanese army, the most usual countermeasures were to break up into pieces and jump behind the Japanese army. Wait until the Japanese army raided After the troops withdraw, they will return to the base area.

In the past three years, the North China Front Army, large and small, launched no less than a hundred raids, but in the end they were all defeated by this policy of the Eighth Route Army, and so far there is no way to crack it.

At most, the grid will be smaller when pulling the net. This is changing from the net pulling tactic to the combing tactic, but the effect does not seem to be very good. At most, it can only catch a few small troops.

It is impossible to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the sweeping area.

So from the perspective of Neiji Okamura, the No. A battle plan proposed by Yoshio Shinozuka is nothing new. If it is still the old tactics of pulling the net or combing, then there is really no need to waste time reading it.

Shinozuka Yoshio said calmly, "Your Excellency, how to crack the Eighth Route Army's division into parts and break through separately is the core content of the No. A battle plan!"

"Oh, really?" Neiji Okamura finally became interested.

He added: "Then why don't you tell me how to crack the Eighth Route Army's fragmentation?"

Yoshio Shinozuka paused slightly, and then said: "The method is very simple. It is to form a large number of special forces and locate the headquarters, brigade and even regiment headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."

"And then guide the mopping up troops to launch precise strikes!"

"As long as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, each brigade headquarters and even each regiment headquarters are destroyed,"

"Then the Eighth Route Army in the entire Taihang bandit area will lose its effective command and fall into the predicament of fighting on its own."

"At that time, the mopping-up troops can use infantry squadrons or even small teams as units, and strengthen the net-type sweeping into a comb-like sweeping. As long as they sweep back and forth three to five times, they can basically destroy the eight roads in the Taihang bandit area."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka's voice was unavoidably raised, and he felt a little proud.

This is the solution he came up with after half a year of in-depth research.

Shinozuka Yoshio is very convinced that there is no better choice except for the No. A battle plan.

However, after listening to Shinozuka Yoshio's explanation, Okamura Ningji's complexion suddenly collapsed, and even his eyes hiding behind the lens became cold.

"Shinozuka-kun? Haven't you played enough?"

Neiji Okamura said with a dark face: "How long do you want to play?"

"Playing?" Shinozuka Yoshio said dumbfounded, "What do you mean, Your Excellency General?"

"Am I wrong?" Neiji Okamura said with a dark face, "That fellow Kazuki Yamamoto, he speaks well, but he is a mess in practice."

"I was naive enough to think,"

"He came back from Germany with some real skills,"

"But I didn't expect that he only learned the ability to give people's heads!"

"Because of his stupidity and recklessness, the imperial army buried more than 100 excellent officers, and more than 4000 experienced imperial soldiers, Xiaozuka-kun, they didn't have to die this time!"

"Especially Mr. Hattori was captured alive by the Eighth Route Army. Do you know how serious the consequences are?"

"Your Excellency, I know this." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "As the commander of the 21st Brigade and the rank of major general, Hattori-kun has come into contact with and mastered too many secrets, not to mention anything else, just about Unit 731 The secret is enough to make the imperial foreign affairs department suffer, but I believe that Hattori-kun can keep the secret."

"We won't discuss whether Hattori-kun can keep the secret."

Neiji Okamura waved his hand and said, "I just want to tell you that this kind of failure won't happen again, so you don't have to tell me about Yamamoto-kun's special tactics, it's just a joke!"

"A well-organized surprise attack was easily resolved by the Eighth Route Army."

"A special force that cost a lot of money to build was easily annihilated by the Eighth Route Army."

"What is the use of such special forces? Is such special warfare really worth promoting?"

"Xiaozuka-kun, I really don't know what you are thinking, how could you believe in this idiot Yamamoto, how could you believe in his special tactics?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was speechless because he had no way to refute.

The performance of the Yamamoto Secret Service in this surprise attack was indeed very unbearable.

Not only has there been no news of itself so far, it has probably been wiped out, and the battlefield observation group and the 9th Brigade have also been collectively broken. This performance is really bad.

It's no wonder that Neiji Okamura was extremely disappointed with Kazuki Yamamoto and special tactics.

Because the bloody battle is right in front of you, any excuse is futile.

Shinozuka Yoshio hesitated for a moment, but said again: "Your Excellency, the reason for the failure of this surprise attack is that the Intelligence Section Yoshio Oshima leaked the information..."

"Shinozuka-kun! Regarding the matter of Yoshio Oshima, I also read the investigation report of the special high school."

Neiji Okamura directly interrupted: "Oshima Yoshio divided the information into three parts out of the mentality of rare goods. Before the end of the battle, he just sold the information of the 9th Brigade to the Eighth Route Army. About the field observation group The intelligence of the Yamamoto Special Team has not yet been sold, so the failure of the Yamamoto Special Team has nothing to do with Yoshio Oshima!"

After a pause, Ningji Okamura said again: "Of course, this is not to excuse Oshima Yoshio."

"Yoshio Oshima betrayed the empire, leaked the information of the 9th Brigade to the Eighth Route Army, and led to the collective death of nearly 9 imperial soldiers in the [-]th Brigade. There is only one fate waiting for him, which is to hang!"

"Xiaozuka-kun, I just want to tell you that Yamamoto's special warfare is a joke!"

In the end, Neiji Okamura was already stern, and he was obviously really disappointed with Kazuki Yamamoto.

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Kazuki Yamamoto may be a joke, but his special operations are still worthwhile..."

"Xiaozuka-kun, you don't need to talk anymore."

Neiji Okamura said coldly: "I will not adopt your No. A battle plan."

"Of course, you are the commander of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi, and you have autonomy in the 1st Army."

"You can completely adopt the No. A combat plan on the Shanxi battlefield according to your own wishes, but what I want to say is that you are responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom."

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes also turned cold.

The matter has come to this point, and he has no way out.

He has been defeated by the Eighth Route Army twice in a row. If you count the Hundred Regiments Battle, it will be three times. If he can't save his face in the next revenge action, then the final result may only follow in the footsteps of Jun Tada , was dismissed and returned home sadly, but he didn't want such an ending.

And battle plan A is his only chance.

Immediately asked: "Your Excellency, can you patiently listen to me explain the No. A battle plan?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's insistence did not surprise Neiji Okamura. He nodded immediately and said, "Of course, you have the right to express any opinion, and I have no right to deprive you of it."

"Aliado." After thanking Ningji Okamura, Shinozuka Yoshio said again, "Your Excellency, to be honest, it is really shocking that all members of the Yamamoto Special Forces disappeared in this surprise attack. .”

"Although we still don't know what happened so far, one thing can be confirmed, that is, it is really not worth the candle to spend a huge amount of money to build a special force like Special Forces Yamamoto."

"But it is undeniable that Special Agent Yamamoto did show their value in battlefield reconnaissance, infiltration, and sudden encounters."

"Including the battle loss ratio of [-] to [-] in the battle of Yangcun."

"Frankly speaking, except for the Yamamoto Special Forces, it is impossible for any unit to achieve this record."

"Therefore, there is reason to believe that using the Yamamoto Special Forces as a model to create several low-profile special forces can not only greatly save money, but also retain competitiveness in battlefield reconnaissance and infiltration as much as possible."

"Then, in the following mopping operations, these low-profile special forces are capable of tracking and locating the Eighth Route Army headquarters and brigade-level command organizations."

"When necessary, they can even carry out surprise missions independently."

Speaking of this meal, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "What do you think, Your Excellency the General?"

Neiji Okamura's expression changed and he said, "You mean to form a low-profile version of the special forces?"

"Yes, a low-profile version of the special forces." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "It can be called the advance team."

Neiji Okamura finally felt a little moved. No matter how poorly the performance of the Yamamoto Special Forces was, it was still a special forces force with combat effectiveness. Under the same conditions, ordinary infantry squadrons would never be able to beat them.

Under certain conditions, even the infantry brigade may not be the opponent of the Yamamoto special team.

The reason why Neiji Okamura reacted so strongly was because he had placed too high expectations on the Yamamoto Special Forces before, and the cost of forming and training the Yamamoto Special Forces was also too high.

In a word, the funds used to support the Yamamoto special team,

It is enough to feed an infantry regiment and there is still surplus.

However, if only low-profile special forces are formed, the cost will be greatly reduced. If half of the combat effectiveness of special forces and the characteristics of battlefield reconnaissance and infiltration can be retained, it will be excellent.

Immediately Okamura Neiji asked again: "Is the low-profile version of the advance team really capable of the tasks you mentioned?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "It is definitely impossible to reach the level of Yamamoto's secret service team, easily penetrate into various bandit areas of the Eighth Route Army, and conduct reconnaissance without blind spots."

"But we can compensate for it in other ways."

"As for the lack of infiltration ability, we can make up for it by equipping each advance team with Chinese translators and having them wear Eighth Route Army uniforms to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army."

Okamura Ningji's expression changed: "Pretend to be the Eighth Route Army, equipped with a Chinese interpreter?"

This is a new way of thinking, so it can be seen that Yoshio Shinozuka's No. A battle plan still has something to offer.

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, "According to our observations, the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army are divided into three levels: regular army, local army, and militia. The regular army is the most respected and welcomed by the Chinese people."

"If each advance team is allowed to pretend to be a regular army in the Eighth Route Army,"

"Combined with the assistance of a Chinese translator, it is basically possible to pass through various bandit areas without hindrance."

"Of course, if it is not absolutely necessary, the advancing teams should not conduct public activities. They still need to cover their whereabouts as much as possible and communicate with the sweeping forces through the radio."

"In this way, even if the Eighth Route Army divides its troops, it will have no chance to take advantage of it."

"Because no matter how they exploit the gaps, they will be detected by the advancing teams in time."

Yoshio Shinozuka is indeed quite capable. The No. A battle plan he came up with is equivalent to adding precise positioning to the traditional combat method of pulling the net and comb.

Let the advancing teams disperse and lurk in the gaps between the sweeping troops,

Once the troops of the Eighth Route Army come to infiltrate, there is a high probability that they will be discovered by the advancing team and reported to the sweeping troops, and then the sweeping troops can encircle the Eighth Route Army in advance.

This method, at least looks very powerful.

"Yoshi!" Okamura Neiji was completely aroused by this, and immediately took a picture of the plan and said, "Xiaozuka-kun, it's getting late today, you go back to the hotel to rest, we'll talk tomorrow."

After a pause, he said again: "I will read your proposal carefully."

"Hayi!" Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly stopped his feet and stood at attention, then nodded again.

……

Daxia Bay, the War Room of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Wang Ye led Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli to conduct six consecutive war games.

The result is always the same, the mobile column easily breaks through the devil's blockade every time.

The deputy chief of staff said: "In this case, our previous anti-sweeping plan will be overthrown and restarted."

"Just overthrow and start over." The boss's voice suddenly sounded, "There's no need to break it up into parts, of course it's better not to break up the whole into parts, because the price of breaking things up into parts is really too high."

When Wang Ye looked back, he saw the boss walking in quickly.

Behind the boss, there are also teachers, brigade commanders, and several unfamiliar faces.

Wang Ye estimated that he should be the brigade commander of several other brother brigades or the commander of the military division. The boss was probably having some kind of meeting with them, which was also attracted by their war game deduction.

"Boss, teacher, brigade commander!" Wang Ye saluted one by one.

The boss waved his hand and said, "There are so many non-combatants in the headquarters, and so much equipment."

"Once it is broken down into pieces, most of these equipment will not be able to be kept, and these non-combatants will also suffer heavy casualties. This price is really too high and too heavy."

"So, if you can break through as a whole, you must choose to break through as a whole."

After a pause, he asked again: "The question is, are you sure?"

Wang Ye said: "Judging from the results of the wargame deduction, there is no problem!"

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, is there any margin left in the parameter setting of the wargame deduction?"

"Stay." Wang Ye said without hesitation, "The fault tolerance rate is two infantry brigades, that is to say, as long as the Japanese army's participating troops do not have more than two infantry brigades, the result will not change much."

In fact, Wang Ye still put it down, the real fault tolerance covers at least four infantry brigades.

The reason for this is also very simple, because it is impossible for the little devils to distribute their troops evenly in actual combat, and they will definitely tilt according to the needs of the battlefield. For example, there will definitely be more troops in the direction of Taiyuan.

And the existence of the Wolf Warrior Squadron can find out the devil's weak points in advance.

Therefore, even if the devils gathered 5 brigades to encircle the Taihang base area, Wang Ye was sure to lead the wolf squadron to find out the weak points and accurately guide the mobile column to break through the blockade.
