War of Resistance: Wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion at the start.

"Commander, how should we respond?"

After receiving the exact news, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff could not help but respectfully ask the commander of the Mongolian army.

"Now that we know it's the Tubalu who are doing this, we must advance quickly and quickly find the hiding places of other Tubalu."

Hearing the words of the Major General Chief of Staff, the Lieutenant General Commander pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "In terms of the order to Guisui, also send a troop to the Sanjing Village Iron Mine."

"Nani?"

When the Major General Chief of Staff heard this, he didn't react for a moment. He looked at the Commander in confusion and asked, "Commander, haven't the troops in the county already gone to the rescue? Why are you sending other troops?"

"Souga!"

The Lieutenant General Commander smiled even more proudly upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, our troops have already gone to the county town to rescue them. However, I think the Eighth Route Army may want to surround and attack the reinforcements."

"Surround the site for reinforcements?"

When the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff heard the Lieutenant General Commander say this word, he was confused and obviously did not react.

Looking at the puzzled chief of staff, the lieutenant general chuckled, his expression becoming more and more smug as he said, "Besieging a point and attacking reinforcements is the specialty of the Eighth Route Army."

The Lieutenant General Commander came to the battle map and pointed to the Mitsui Village Iron Mine and said, "I know this iron mine. It's easy to mine and the iron ore is of good quality. The Empire wants to obtain the iron ore resources here."

"They established a stronghold in Sanjing Village and stationed a regiment of imperial troops and a reinforced brigade of Mongolian troops in several surrounding counties."

Then, the Lieutenant General Commander's finger moved to the place called Quanshuigou and said, "A few days ago, your nephew died there. We lost more than a thousand people."

"That is to say, the Tubalu troops entrenched here have the ability to wipe out over a thousand armed forces."

"Now they are only targeting a Mitsui Village stronghold. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

"There's only one iron mine, and with six or seven hundred people, are they just destroying the mine? So I think these Eighth Route Army soldiers are really targeting the reinforcements from the county town, using the siege method to attack the reinforcements."

The Lieutenant General Commander's in-depth and simple analysis made the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff look enlightened: "Soudisga!!!!!!"

The Japanese Major General Chief of Staff couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army: "Sir, you really have a keen eye. The Eighth Route Army is very likely to do this!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing the praise from the Chief of Staff, the Lieutenant General Commander smiled brightly.

After the Commander's laughter subsided, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff couldn't help but ask, "Commander, why are we only sending troops from Guisui to support us?"

"Since we predict that the Eighth Route Army will surround the point and attack the reinforcements, why don't we ask the surrounding counties to support us in advance?"

"In this way, we can cooperate with the outside forces and very likely surround them and eventually wipe them out."

The commander of the Mongolian army nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, that is what I was thinking, but I haven't had the chance to say it yet."

"Hi Yi!"

"I'm so sorry, Commander, I was so reckless!"

Upon hearing the words of the commander of the Mongolian army, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff hurriedly bent down and bowed to express his apology.

"fine!"

The Lieutenant General waved his hand nonchalantly upon hearing this and said, "You can send a telegram now, instructing the surrounding counties to mobilize quickly and target the Mitsui Village Iron Mine."

"I don't want any surprises in this battle."

"At the same time, send a telegram to Colonel Horinger, telling him to act well and not panic even if he's ambushed. Do everything he can to delay the attack."

"Hold these Eighth Route Army soldiers tightly. As long as the reinforcements arrive, they will be the biggest heroes."

Upon hearing this, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff immediately bowed and shouted, "Hi!"

After saying that, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff hurried away to convey the order.

"Hehehe!"

Watching the Chief of Staff leave, the Lieutenant General Commander couldn't help but sneer: "Tubalu, our Mongolian troops can't beat Chu Feng's Independent 1st Division, so how can we beat you?"

"Let alone your Eighth Route Army, even the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, even those regular Chinese troops, are no match for the Imperial Japanese Army."

"This time I want to let you know that the waters in Suiyuan Province are too complicated and you, the Eighth Route Army, cannot interfere or test it." After saying that, he sneered, turned around and sat back at his desk.

Then he grabbed the phone in front of him, dialed it a few times, and said, "Connect me to the North China Headquarters. I want to speak to General Terauchi Hisaichi."

Now that he knew that the Eighth Route Army had begun to send troops into his territory, the Lieutenant General Commander had to report this situation to the North China Front Army.

The orders were quickly delivered along with telegrams to several counties around Horqin, as well as to the hands of the Japanese colonel who was leading his team to the Mitsui Village Iron Mine.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there's an urgent message from headquarters!"

Holding the translated telegram, the Japanese soldier quickly caught up with the colonel regiment commander riding a Japanese horse and handed him the telegram.

"Nani?"

The Japanese colonel regiment commander reached out to take it and quickly read the telegram. He was stunned at first, and then a layer of dense beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Oh my god, I was almost deceived by the Tubalu!"

The Japanese regiment commander was only concerned with rescue and had not thought about the concept of surrounding the enemy and attacking the reinforcements. Now, looking at the order from the headquarters, he reacted instantly and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Stop!"

Without thinking, the Japanese regiment commander immediately gave the order: "All the captains and squadron leaders come here." Originally, the Japanese regiment commander wanted to call the puppet army officers as well.

But if you think about it carefully, the puppet soldiers are a group of cowards. If you tell them the truth, you are afraid that they will be exposed, so you might as well not tell them.

The Japanese and puppet troops stopped, and the Japanese officers who were named came over quickly.

"I just received a telegram from headquarters. Your Excellency the Commander feels that there's something fishy about the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Mitsui Village Iron Mine. They're likely planning to ambush us along the way."

"So, the headquarters ordered us to do a good job of baiting. Even if we find any clues, we have to put on a good show for me."

"Also, have the Imperial warriors be prepared. Once the battle begins, immediately lie down for safety and launch a counterattack on the spot without waiting for my orders."

"At the same time, immediately capture a small hill nearby or occupy advantageous terrain to give us the initiative on the battlefield."

"The weapons and equipment of the Tubalu are far inferior to those of the Empire. They can't destroy us in a short time."

"As long as we can hold on until reinforcements arrive, we will be the winners."

At this point, the Japanese colonel commander looked at everyone and said, "At this moment, the troops in the surrounding counties are already preparing and will soon set out to this side."

"Whether we can win this battle depends on our performance."

"The Commander said that after victory, we will be the first to achieve the credit, and there will be a huge reward!"
