Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Zeng Jiwen and Wang Zhuo were also thoughtful after listening to the political commissar's words.

Wang Zhuo looked at Taiyuan, then at Wuhan, and nodded.

"We can capture Ci County and cut off the connection between Anyang and Handan."

"At the same time, the Pinghan Railway will be cut off. Once the Pinghan Railway is cut off, the battle in Wuhan will be delayed. This will be our chance."

"After all, no matter how much you provoke the First Army in the Shota Line and Taiyuan, I'm afraid that guy Okabe Naosaburo won't move unless it's an urgent matter."

Zeng Jiwen listened to what the two said and nodded.

"Then we should cut off the Pinghan Line first and see how the North China Front Army reacts."

"Is the 14th Division planning to attack in full force or leave a regiment in Handan?"

Wang Zhuo listened.

"Well, let Wu Lin worry about the details. We still have to think about what to do if other situations arise."

"After all, the Japanese troops in North China have only just reached the edge of their base area. If we do this and Sugiyama retreats, it will be a lot of fun."

Zeng Jiwen agreed after hearing this and said, "Don't mention it, it's really possible. Let Wu Lin take it easy and don't let Sugiyama Yuan think we're really planning to take over the Pinghan Line."

"Have Sun Yuqing send a few regiments to the Zhengtai Line to assess the strength of the new 108th Division."

"If the 108th Division's combat effectiveness is not good, then we will use the 108th Division as a target."

After the few people finished discussing the matter, they issued the order to the front-line command center of Sun Yuqing and Wu Lin.

Dayu Town, west of Ci County, southern Hebei.

At this time, Wu Lin, with the commander of the 395th Brigade Cao Deqing, the commander of the 2nd Column Zheng Lun, and the commander of the 3rd Column Xia Wenkai were discussing in the temporary command center how to cut off the Pinghan Line and lure reinforcements from the 14th Division.

According to the information previously reported by Zheng Lun and Xia Wenkai, the commander of the 14th Division, Kenji Doihara, is no simple man.

When they were active in this area before, both of them suffered a lot from this person.

If the equipment of the following groups had not kept up, Kenji Doihara might have swallowed up several groups in one bite.

Over the past two months, the two men and the 14th Division have fought each other several times, with both sides winning and losing.

I heard the two of them say this.

Wu Lin became interested instantly.

After all, Kenji Doihara's military district headquarters has his intelligence.

During the anti-mopping-up campaign in southeastern Shanxi, when the division commander learned that the commander of the 14th Division was Kenji Doihara, he specifically ordered someone to copy a copy of his file from his home.

Wu Lin saw it before.

This person has been active in the Japanese intelligence agencies in China.

According to the archives, he was the third generation spy leader engaged in espionage activities in China after Nobuzumi Aoki and Rihachiro Sakanishi. He was behind the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo and the planning of the autonomy of the five provinces in North China.

At the same time, Zeng Jiwen's evaluation of him in the archives was that he was a "Chinese expert" who was familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". He could speak many dialects in China for many years, especially fluent Chinese with a Beijing accent.

This is an archive from a few years ago.

When the 14th Division participated in the mopping-up operation, this figure suddenly appeared in Zeng Jiwen's sight and attracted the attention of several people.

Now listening to what the two people said, I found that this person might be very difficult to deal with. I don’t know whether the 14th Division will take the bait this time.

After a while, the telegraph operator came up to them with a telegram.

"Deputy Commander, telegram from the military district!"

Hearing this, Wu Lin immediately took the telegram and started reading it.

After reading it, he handed the telegram to Cao Deqing, commander of the 395th Brigade. After Cao Deqing read it, he handed it to the other two people.

After a while, Wu Lin spoke.

"Tell me, who among you plans to attack Ci County?"

"Let me make it clear first: don't use too much force, and don't beat the Japanese soldiers so hard that they immediately call for help."

At this time, the three of them looked at each other.

Then, the commander of the 395th Brigade, Cao Deqing, stood up.
