"This Chinese man is too rude, he's dead!"

While speaking, Shao Zuo's saber slashed down on Li Xia's neck.

Li Xia just tilted his head slightly, staring at the Shao Zuo with cold eyes, the steel knife on his neck, and he didn't even blink his eyes, as if the devil Shao Zuo was not the one who slashed at him.

In the blink of an eye, the saber had reached Li Xia's neck.

Neiji Okamura finally lost no time and shouted: "Stop!"

Guizi Shaozuo's saber stopped abruptly, and the edge of Leng Sensen's blade was only an inch away from Li Xia's skin, but Li Xia didn't blink his eyes from the beginning to the end.

"Yoshi." Neiji Okamura couldn't help applauding, "You are very courageous."

Li Xia turned his gaze to Mizuhara Takuya, and Mizuhara Takuya translated: "Our Lord General praises you for your courage."

"There's nothing to brag about." Li Xia said with a smile, "Everyone has to die, sooner or later, it won't come early just because you're afraid, and it won't stop coming just because you're not afraid. "

"Very philosophical." Okamura Ningji continued after listening to the translation, "Dare to ask your name."

"Miangui's surname is Li, Li Xia." Li Xia did not hide his name, because he used an alias when he worked underground in Shanghai, so no one knew his real name.

"Li Xia? You are as good as your name, good name." Neiji Okamura smiled lightly, and said again, "Then, Li Sang, why are you here this time?"

"It's nothing expensive." Li Xia said indifferently, "I'm just following the order of the chief of staff to give you a formal answer. It is absolutely impossible for the Chenzhuang battlefield to cease fighting for ten days, but if your army can open a passage to let us go back Wanmadu, then in exchange, we can guarantee the safety of the Japanese troops on the Chenzhuang battlefield."

After listening to Mizuhara Takuya's translation, the Japanese military officers present were instantly angry.

"The Eighth Route Army is too arrogant. They think that the imperial army is just a group of sheep. Do they have to decide whether to live or die?"

"Since the Eighth Route Army has no sincerity, there is nothing much to say. Your Excellency, please issue an order directly to launch a general attack on Chenzhuang this afternoon, and strive to clear the Eighth Route Army hiding there as soon as possible."

"Chenzhuang's Eighth Route Army don't care about him for now, let's kill this guy first."

In an instant, the dozen or so senior Japanese military officers present were all filled with righteous indignation.

Neiji Okamura's emotions were not affected at all, and he could even laugh.

Neiji Okamura chuckled, and said, "Li Sang, your conditions are too harsh for the imperial army to satisfy, but I will not kill you either. Please go back and see you on the battlefield."

It is impossible to send the Eighth Route Army on the Chenzhuang battlefield to Wanmadu.

If there is no Eighth Route Army on the Chenzhuang battlefield, how can you still fish?

"Is this your reply? Then I will take my leave." Li Xia turned around and left after speaking.

Several Japanese military officers present wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Neiji Okamura's sharp eyes.

Watching Li Xia go out, Okamura Neiji said to Mizuhara Takuya: "Mizuhara-kun, you have worked hard this trip, so go back and rest first, and you won't be on duty tonight."

"Hai." Mizuhara Takuya paused slightly, turned around and walked away.

Watching Takuya Mizuhara go out, Ningji Okamura reviewed the entire battle plan in his mind again, and found no problems, because Takuya Mizuhara didn't know his real plan.

So even if Mizuhara Taku sold what he knew to the Eighth Route Army, it would only be an assist, and it would only strengthen the determination of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, allowing them to break through from Chenzhuang.

Of course, even without Mizuhara Takuya's assist,

There is a high probability that the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will also break through from Chenzhuang.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningji's brows stretched again.

……

In the evening, the column headquarters received another telegram from the Wolf Warriors Brigade.

"Brigade Commander, what did Xiao Wang say in the telegram?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Xiao Wang asked us to break out from the direction of Chenzhuang." The brigade commander handed the telegram to Li Yunlong casually, and said, "He also said that they would wipe out the devils on the Chenzhuang battlefield within ten days, and then let some soldiers pretend to be devils , creating an illusion for the devils in the periphery that the Chinese and Japanese armies are still confronting each other in Chenzhuang."

Zhao Gang said: "Good plan, this is cheating!"

"That's right, Xiao Wang is a deceitful plan." The brigade commander smiled, and continued, "It's just that, behind this deceptive plan, he added another false plan!"

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "Ningji Okamura is a powerful old devil. He can probably guess the tricks in the front, but it is absolutely impossible for him to guess the tricks in the back."

"A false plan?" Li Yunlong said in astonishment, "Brigade Commander, didn't the telegram say that? He only said to split up and break through."

"That's because you didn't see it." The brigade commander snorted, "Breaking through the encirclement separately is a trick designed by Xiao Wang. There must be only one way that is real and the other is fake. Otherwise, why would he specifically tell us to hurry up?" To identify prisoners of war? And to incorporate reliable prisoners of war into our team?"

"Really?" Li Yunlong was dubious.

Speaking of it, Li Yunlong had a lot of tricks to start a war, but when it comes to tactics and the like, he is actually just a layman, and the 36 tricks are all about knowing what to do.

The brigade commander turned his head and asked Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, is the Chinese cram school in the POW camp still in session?"

"It's still on." Zhao Gang nodded, and said again, "However, there are not many people who have learned well. Most of the prisoners of war can only speak a few simple words, and they have no way to communicate in daily life."

The brigade commander said: "Go and call me who speaks good Chinese."

The prisoner-of-war camp was right next to the headquarters. After a while, Zhao Gang walked in with two prisoners of war.

"This is our commander." Zhao Gang first introduced the brigade commander, then pointed to the prisoners and said to the brigade commander, "This is Ichiro Akiyama, and this is Jiro Komatsu. Both of them were sergeants of the 69th Division before they were captured. .”

Akiyama Ichiro and Komatsu Jiro nodded at the brigade commander at the same time: "Your Excellency, Commander."

The brigade commander waved his hand, and said with concern: "Akiyama and Komatsu, right? I won't say too many redundant words, I just ask, do you two realize the danger of military ghostism?"

"Hai!" Akiyama Ichiro and Komatsu Jiro looked at each other, and said in blunt Mandarin, "The Japanese military ghost doctrine is not only a disaster for the Chinese people, it is also a disaster for the Japanese people. In fact, the people in Japan are deeply poisoned by this war."

Komatsu Jiro went on to say: "Not only mothers lost their sons, their wives lost their husbands, and their children lost their fathers, but the national economy of the entire country is also on the verge of collapse. Many farmers in the countryside died of hunger. If this continues, the entire Yamato nation, oh no , the whole and human race will fall into a situation of eternal doom.”

The brigade commander asked: "Then you two are willing to stand up and fight against the army ghost doctrine?"

"We are willing." Akiyama Ichiro and Komatsu Jiro said without hesitation, "Not only us, but most of the prisoners in the entire Chinese learning class have already repented. Your Excellency Commander, please allow us to join this great anti-fascist movement. Holy war! For Japan, we are willing to sacrifice everything!"

"Okay." The brigade commander said happily, "I agree with you to join the [-]th brigade."

Both Akiyama Ichiro and Komatsu Jiro were refreshed when they heard the words, and looked a little excited.

However, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Xing Zhiguo were at a loss. The devil's attack was not violent at the moment, and the strength of their Shanxi Northwest column was not tense at all. It seemed that there was no need to add Japanese soldiers, right?

The brigade commander didn't explain much, and sent away Akiyama Ichiro and Komatsu Jiro.

When it was over, the brigade commander said to Ding Wei: "Ding Wei, I will hand over these prisoners of war to your team. From tonight onwards, you will arrange for them to go to the battlefield, so that they can get used to fighting against their former comrades-in-arms in Paize."

"Yes." Ding Wei said solemnly, "Don't worry, Brigadier, I will make arrangements."

"Okay." The brigade commander nodded, and then said to Kong Jie, "Kong Jie, Xiao Wang has already said that there is no need to dig the tunnel from the vicinity of Wanmadu. This distance is too far and it will take too long."

"So dig directly from your second team's position."

"In this way, it only takes one kilometer to dig underground in Anshi Town."

"If you only need to dig one kilometer, the time required will be greatly shortened."

After a pause, the brigade commander continued: "However, it is not easy to dig a one-kilometer-long tunnel within ten days. On average, we have to dig a distance of 100 meters per day, and it is underground. Deep inside, it must be stuffy and hot, the labor intensity is extremely high, and the efficiency is extremely low, so it must be very difficult."

Kong Jie said: "Brigade Commander, please don't worry. I will organize all the party members of the Second Detachment when I go back. We must carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or tiredness, and dig the tunnel within ten days at all costs."

"Old Kong, that's all you can do." Li Yunlong said contemptuously, "It's not enough for the Communist Party members to take the lead and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship or tiredness. You need to use your brain more."

"What?" The brigade commander asked with a smile, "What kind of crazy idea did you come up with?"

"Brigade Commander, I really have a trick, which can definitely greatly improve work efficiency." Li Yunlong chuckled, and said, "Old Kong, the tunnels are only so big in total, and the working area is only so small. At the same time, we can only guarantee Two people work, otherwise it will be very crowded, so it is useless to have more people.”

"My opinion is to select elite soldiers and divide them into 24 tunnel-digging groups."

"Each group only needs to work for an hour, and then the next group changes."

Speaking of this meal, Li Yunlong went on to say: "By the way, in order to lower the temperature in the tunnel, you can use saltpeter from the arsenal to make ice cubes, and then send them to the tunnel to let it melt."

The brigade commander couldn't help but patted Li Yunlong's forehead: "You really have a lot of crazy ideas, how did you know that saltpeter can be used to make ice cubes?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Xiao Wang told me."

"Xiao Wang?" The brigade commander nodded and said, "That's it, let's go get busy."

"Hey, Brigadier, what are our three teams doing?" Li Yunlong asked anxiously, "Both Lao Ding and Lao Kong have missions, so you can't just leave Lao Li alone?"

"The three detachments have no combat missions." The brigade commander said, "the three detachments now only have one mission, eat and sleep, and nourish my body and spirit. When the day when you launch a breakout, the 3000 of your three detachments More than 3000 fighters are going down the hill, give me the strength to charge out!"

"Yes!" Li Yunlong cheered up, "I promise to complete the task."

"Is everything clear?" The brigade commander snorted and said, "Go away."

Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong stood at attention, saluted and turned around.

Chapter 585

The time came after eight days, at night.

With a mixed arrangement, Wang Ye was quietly moving forward in the tunnel.

In the first few days, in order to preserve his strength, Wang Ye did not let the local armed forces and militias from several military divisions participate in the battle. The Wolf Warriors Brigade is responsible for mopping up the devils in the surrounding fortifications.

But two days later, Wang Ye changed his mind.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Warriors Brigade is strong enough, with Lin Han's special skills and skilled special warfare skills, he can always easily deal with small Japanese troops one after another with zero casualties.

But with only their Wolf Warriors brigade, the efficiency is really too low.

It took two days to clean up only a 500-meter area around Chenzhuang.

Moreover, with the expansion of the combat radius, the area to be cleaned up has increased dramatically, and the number of devils to be dealt with has also increased sharply. Their wolf warriors alone may not be able to clean up in a month, let alone ten days.

No way, Wang Ye can only let the three main groups from the three detachments participate in the battle.

With three main regiments and nearly [-] veterans joining, the speed has indeed been greatly accelerated.

But inevitably, the casualties also increased sharply, almost two or three hundred people were sacrificed every day.

After all, although the devils are not good at tunnel warfare, their tactical quality is not much worse than that of the Shanxi Northwest Column, and their weapons and equipment are even better than them, so casualties are inevitable.

Wang Ye saw that this was not going to work. After ten days, all the elite of the regular army would be sacrificed, leaving only the local troops and militia in three military divisions. How could their combat effectiveness compare with that of the regular army?

Therefore, Wang Ye mixed the regular army, local troops and militia.

At this time, there were already thousands of militiamen, local troops, and regular troops gathered. Wang Ye organized these more than 1000 soldiers into dozens of platoons, and asked members of the Wolf Warriors Brigade and elite veterans with the best tactical literacy to serve as the platoons. The efficiency of the platoon leaders and squad cadres arranged has not been reduced, but the casualties of elite veterans have been greatly reduced.

What is even more gratifying is that the combat effectiveness of local troops and militias is also increasing rapidly.

When these ten days passed, even if the tactical quality of these local troops and militias was still not as good as that of the regular army, it would never be too different. There would be no problem in adding them directly to the regular army.

What Wang Ye is now leading is such a mixed combat platoon, with about thirty people.

There were actually more than 60 people in this combat platoon at the beginning, but after ten days of fighting, there were only more than 30 people left, and nearly half of them were killed.

But it should be noted that the rest are already elite.

Among other things, the tactical literacy is already very skilled.

The most telling evidence is that in the battle that just ended, they eliminated six Jap infantry hiding in a woodchuck fortification without any casualties.

Throughout the night, their mixed arrangement has cleared more than a dozen groundhog fortifications and killed more than 30 devils, but they only slightly injured six people, and two died.

In addition, it needs to be explained that with the increase of the clearing area, the gathered militia, local troops and regular army are also gradually increasing. Wang Ye also remixed these gathered soldiers and let them join the battle. So far, Wang Ye has gathered close to 9000 soldiers. That is to say, the Eighth Route Army trapped near the Chenzhuang battlefield has basically been gathered.

But after eight days of fighting, there were nearly 4000 casualties.

That is to say, there are still 4000 soldiers left in the Eighth Route Army on the Chenzhuang battlefield, but their combat effectiveness has not decreased at all, but has increased. All of them are top players with strong bodies and good quality in all aspects.

So the war is actually a knockout match, and it is the cruelest knockout match.

Because if you lose in other games, you will lose your honor, but if you lose in this game of war, you will lose your life!

Closer to home, Wang Ye led a mixed arrangement of more than 30 people and walked quietly along the tunnel. Soon the pioneers in charge of exploring the road in front turned back and reported that the enemy was found ahead.

Wang Ye immediately led the two soldiers forward and communicated in Japanese in a low voice.

This is fishing. If the devils are hiding in the opposite fortification, there is a high probability that they will come to talk to them, but if the eighth route army is hiding in the opposite fortification, there will only be two reactions.

The regular army will not have any reaction, just waiting for the sap.

Local troops and militiamen will yell and remind each other.

The Japanese of the two soldiers was just learned, but because it was just a few simple conversations, and they were repeated over the past few days, it was already very smooth, and it was difficult to detect any abnormalities.

Wang Ye and the two spoke in a low voice, but they ensured that they could pass into the opposite position.

After speaking a few words in Japanese, Wang Ye motioned the two of them to be silent, and then pricked up their ears to listen. The position on the opposite side was silent without a single sound. This was the regular army of the Shanxi Northwest Column.

Only the regular army can hold their breath like this.

At that moment, Wang Ye switched to Mandarin and shouted: "Brothers on the opposite side, which detachment do you belong to?"

The opposite position was still silent, obviously still suspecting that Wang Ye and the others were devils pretending to be the Eighth Route Army. It must be said that the vigilance was not generally high.
