Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

After Gangcun said such discouraging words, if it had happened before, the Japanese generals in the command center would have exploded. How dare they slander the invincible locust army?

But this time, after the battles of Fujin Mountain and Madang Fortress, the Japanese generals were only a little agitated and soon calmed down.

Prince Dongjiu frowned. He was a member of the royal family who came here to gild his reputation. He had no ability to command a large army. Facing Gangcun, who had made outstanding military achievements, he could only patiently ask:

"General Okamura, do you have a good idea to break the current deadlock? Please speak up."

Seeing that his little thought was exposed by Prince Dongjiu, Gangcun didn't keep it a secret any longer. Instead, he picked up the command center and pointed to a location on the map, pushing harder.

The Japanese generals in the headquarters stood up one after another and looked hard with their presbyopic eyes, only to see the big words "De'an" under the baton.

But De'an was inside the Nationalist defense line at that time. What could he do in this position?

Seeing that many of his colleagues did not see through his intentions, Gangcun looked around at these "idiots" and proudly introduced:

"The locusts demanded that Ezhou be occupied in the fall, but judging from the current battlefield situation and developments, it may not be possible to determine the winner even if we fight for another two or three months."

After that, Gangcun pointed at De'an with his baton and said excitedly:

"As long as we occupy De'an and cut off the retreat of the enemy's First Corps, the First Corps defending here will collapse. At that time, our locust army will further cut off the Yue-Han Railway and the Yue-Han Road of the Celestial Empire, and encircle the main force of the Celestial Empire defending Ezhou, completely destroy the last field mobile forces of the Celestial Empire, and completely take over the entire Celestial Empire."

"Pfft!"

A lieutenant general in the military couldn't help laughing and said sarcastically:

"I thought Mr. Gangcun had some amazing tricks. Isn't this the current strategic mission of your 11th Army? We have been fighting for so long but are still blocked by the enemy's First Corps. I heard that your 27th Division is not in a good situation now. If you need tactical guidance, just say it. We are all colleagues. We will help if we can. Why make it so secretive?"

"Hahaha·"

Everyone in the Japanese headquarters couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gangcun's strategy is nothing new. It is a strategy that any student graduating from a military academy can come up with by looking at a map.

In fact, the Japanese army did arrange it in this way. After breaking through the Ma'an Fortress, the 11th Army of the Japanese Army tried this strategy with all its strength.

But how could the elites of the Celestial Empire fail to see this strategy if ordinary military academy students could see it? The future military god Xue led the First Corps to defend this direction, causing headaches for the Eleventh Army in Gangcun.

Especially now that Gangcun's 27th Division is advancing alone and is being held by the st Corps, it is struggling desperately to escape!

All the Japanese generals believed that Gangcun wanted everyone to help withdraw troops to rescue his 27th Division, rather than really believing that Gangcun had any good ideas.

However, Gangcun did not get angry as the Japanese generals imagined after their secret plan was exposed. Instead, he said calmly:

"I admit that I have this idea, but not entirely. According to aerial reconnaissance, the enemy frequently mobilized troops in order to encircle and suppress our 27th Division, and a defensive vacuum zone appeared on the Wanjialing line. Please take a look..."

Gangcun drew a marching route on the map with his baton and continued:

"If a lightly armed division ventures through the vacuum zone of enemy defense and quickly moves to the city of De'an, then..."

Gangcun did not say the next words, but the thoughtful expression on the face of the Japanese general who was laughing at him just now said it all.

After a while, a lieutenant general hesitated and said:

"Isn't it a bit risky to send a division lightly armed into the enemy's hinterland?"

Gangcun had obviously thought it through very well, and retorted:

"Compared to completely consuming the remaining one million field mobile troops of the Celestial Empire, I think it's worth taking the risk of a division. A gamble doesn't necessarily mean a loss!"

To sell his plan, Okamura added:

"Everyone, this opportunity is now or never. The enemy may discover this defensive vacuum and fill it at any time!"

After these words were spoken, the Japanese generals in the command center fell silent, but Gangcun, who knew the temper of his colleagues well, was not worried.

On that day, the 106th Regiment, which had just suffered heavy losses in the attack on Ma'an Fortress and was resting in the rear and had just received reinforcements from the country, received this unfortunate task.

Although the gambling-minded Japanese high-ranking officials were willing to use a division to make a strategic gamble, it did not mean that they were willing to use their elite Type A division to gamble.

That is the locust army's home base, how can we take risks with it?

One can basically judge the combat effectiveness and equipment of a Japanese division just by listening to the number.

Basically, the bigger the number, the weaker the character is, and the smaller the number, the stronger the character is.

Of course there are exceptions to everything, and the Osaka 4th Division is not one of them.

The 106th Division is called a special division, which means that this division is composed of retired soldiers from the permanent th Division.

The 106th Division is known as the strongest division of the Japanese Army. The th Division formed by its veterans has decent combat effectiveness, but it is not a permanent division, so you can take a gamble!

This unfortunate task naturally fell on the 106th Division.

Faced with the urgent military situation, Gangcun did not give orders through the radio, but went directly to the headquarters of the 106th Division to personally give orders to the commander of the 1076th Division, Matsuura Rokuro.

In order to speed up the journey before the Celestial Empire sealed the gap, the 106th Division abandoned its tanks and a large number of heavy weapons and was temporarily reorganized into a packhorse battalion to adapt to mountain marches.

In order to avoid exposing their targets, the troops could only move at night, and the use of flashlights was strictly prohibited.

Before departure, each person was only equipped with 6 rounds of ammunition for their rifles, and each squadron had to carry their own food and fodder, as well as the baggage and baggage loaded, which was enough for days.

The 106th Division was gambled away by the Japanese high-ranking officials in such a hurry!

What's even more unfortunate is that the Wanjialing map in the hands of the Japanese army was a 1926: scale map stolen by Japanese spies from the warlord Sun Chuanfang in .

After more than ten years of changes in the mountains and seas, it is still in the wild. It would be a miracle if it can still be used.

The 106th Division thought that since the map was not usable, they would use a compass to mark the direction. As long as the direction was determined, they could reach De'an by charging straight ahead.

It's a pity that the God here seems to be from the Celestial Empire and will not bless these shameless invaders.

It seemed almost as if it was destined. There was magnetite in the Wanjialing area, and all compasses were affected by the magnetic field, causing them to malfunction.

The right time, right place and right people were all on China's side. It was simply heaven's will that the Japanese 106th Division would be destroyed!

At the First Corps Headquarters, Xue Zhanshen heard the report from the scouts deployed on the front line. He rushed to the map in disbelief and muttered nervously:

"You're really here?"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and ordered the staff officer:

"Restore radio communication and order the two regiments sleeping in the Wanjialing Mountains to quickly seize key hilltops. Also order all peripheral troops to quickly seal the gaps in the battle line. Anyone who lets a single Japanese escape will be subject to military law."

"Damn it, this time I'm going to roast the little Japanese alive!"

In order to keep the secret and prevent the failure at the last moment, only Xue Zhanshen knew about the plan in the entire First Corps, and the rest of the army and division-level officers were completely unaware of it.

In Shanghai, Ma Liang was prompted by the watch on his hand to rush to the notebook.

I saw the keyword "Wanjialing" frequently mentioned for the first time in the telegrams sent and received by the National Army, and the Japanese 106th Division sent a telegram for help after discovering that it was surrounded.

Even if Ma Liang, who planned all this personally, was calm, at this moment, like the Monkey King played by Huang Bo, he vented in a low voice, half tired and half celebrating:

"Finally got fooled!"
