Ojinkui said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese Army seems to have gotten into the old forest. Do you still want to pursue it?"
"You're still chasing after shit! Are you following me into the old forest?" Furukawa Shinnosuke glared at Otsukui fiercely, and then ordered, "Report this situation to the headquarters immediately!"
"Hai!" Ojinkui nodded heavily, turned around and chased the truck from the Communications Department.
Furukawa Shinnosuke once again set his sights on the valley where the Chinese soldiers had just disappeared. His thick eyebrows were already frowning. It was only a small force that led them to Huishan. So where is the main force of the new regiment
…
The telegram from the 38th Division soon arrived at the Japanese Far Eastern Front Headquarters.
At this time, the old devil Yamashita Fengwen had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth and washing his face.
Halfway through washing his face, Asaburo Kobayashi hurried in and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, we just received an urgent call from the 38th Division, and the main force of the new regiment suddenly disappeared!"
"Nani?" Yamashita Fengwen suddenly stopped wiping his face and said in disbelief, "Xiaolin-kun, what did you just say? The main force of the new group suddenly disappeared? The main force of the new group disappeared?!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused heavily and then said, "Suddenly disappeared!"
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen suddenly burst out. He threw the towel in his hand to the ground, kicked the enamel washbasin in front of him to the ground, and roared loudly, "A whole group, at least more than five thousand People, as well as a large number of baggage and wounded people, just disappeared? Can so many people and horses disappear out of thin air? Is Furukawa Shinnosuke too stupid, or does he think I, Yamashita Tomofumi, are a fool? Will some people believe this kind of nonsense? "
"Uh, I'm sorry, Commander, it's not what you thought." Kobayashi Asaburo then realized that he had not spoken clearly, which caused Yamashita Fengfumi to misunderstand him, thinking that it was the 38th Division that sent the Shinichi Regiment to He was lost, so he made up such a ridiculous reason to deceive him. No wonder he was furious.
At that moment, Asaburo Kobayashi handed over the telegram from the 38th Division.
After reading the telegram, Yamashita Fengwen's anger dissipated, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed.
"So that's what happened." Yamashita Fengwen frowned and said, "In other words, Xu Rui sent a small force, used lido torches and marched at night, and successfully deceived our aviation scouts, and the third party The Eighteenth Division, now this small force has gone directly into the deep mountains and old forests, while Xu Rui’s main force is nowhere to be found.”
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "That's it."
Yamashita Fengwen put his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth in the office over and over again.
Kobayashi Asaburo's eyes followed Yamashita Fengfumi's body, turning back and forth.
After several minutes, Yamashita Fengwen suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lin, at least before chasing Baishan County, the 38th Division will definitely capture the main force of the new regiment. Isn't that right? ?”
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused, "He must have been the main force of the new group at that time!"
"Yo Xi!" Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, then walked quickly to the large map posted on the wall, drew a straight line between Baishan County and Huishan, and then said, "This is obviously a carefully planned tactical deception. , then according to the basic principles of tactical deception, the location where this small unit responsible for luring the enemy is separated from the main force of the new regiment should be at the midway point between Baishan County and Huishan. Even if there is a deviation, it will not It won’t be too far off!”
"Hai!" Kobayashi Senichiro said, "near Sidaogou!"
"Then count the time!" Yamashita Fengwen said, "A total of three days and nights have passed since the 38th Division was blocked in Baishan County. The main force of the new regiment is invisible and must march at night. They can't march during the day, and they still have a lot of baggage and wounded people, so they can't move fast, and they can only travel fifty or sixty miles in one night at most!"
Kobayashi Asaburo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "The main force of the new regiment can only walk more than a hundred miles at most!"
"Let's estimate as high as possible! Suppose they can travel two hundred miles in three nights!" After Yamashita Fengwen finished speaking, he drew a circle on the map with the pencil in his hand. According to the scale on the map, the radius of this circle is almost two hundred miles. It happened to include several county towns such as Fusong County and Jiang County.
After drawing the circle, Yamashita Fengwen threw away the pencil in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Kobayashi, order all the reconnaissance planes of the 3rd Flying Regiment to dispatch to conduct a carpet search of the area drawn on the map. In particular, Fusong County and Jiang County need to be searched more intensively. I suspect that the main force of the new regiment is not in Fusong at this time, but in Jiang!"
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "At the same time, call the 38th Division and the three subsequent pursuit divisions to immediately return to the original route and head to Baishan County to wait for the next order from the headquarters!"
"Hai!" Kobayashi Asaburo said loudly, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Watching Asasaburo Kobayashi's figure go away, Yamashita Tomofumi suddenly withdrew his gaze and said quietly to the empty office behind him: "Miss Inoue?"
The figure of Chiyoko Inoue immediately emerged from the shadows.
After bowing slightly to Yamashita Fengwen, Inoue Chiyoko said: "Commander, what are your orders?"
Yamashita Fengwen asked: "Miss Inoue, haven't you already sent Miss Asahina to rectify the bandits in the Changbai Mountains? I wonder if there is any news?"
Chiyoko Inoue shook her head and said, "Not yet."
Yamashita Fengfumi said: "If you put it this way, something may have happened to Miss Asahina."
"Hai." Chiyoko Inoue paused and then continued, "I was just about to tell the Commander this. There has been no news about Xiao Wu for so many days, and something may have happened, so I want to lead the special operations brigade into the mountainous area. Go to meet her, and you can also find the whereabouts of the new regiment and guide the pursuers."
"Yo Xi!" Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, "Then it's up to you, Miss Inoue."
"This is what it should be." Chiyoko Inoue bowed slightly and added, "However, after our Inoue brigade leaves, Commander, you must strengthen the security of the headquarters to avoid giving the Wolf Fang troops an opportunity to take advantage of. ! Xu Rui’s Wolf Fang troops are pervasive and hard to guard against.”
Yamashita Fengfumi said: "Thank you, Miss Inoue, for your concern. I will be careful."
Chiyoko Inoue nodded slightly, took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.
…
Near Fusong County.
He Shuya chatted with Wang Husheng for a while. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a huge roar of airplane engines. However, he didn't pay attention. He covered his ears with his hands and turned over and went back to sleep. But just after After a while, there was another huge roar of aircraft engines passing through the sky.
He Shuya was heartbroken, but he still held it back.
But less than a minute later, another huge roar of engines passed by. Now He Shuya couldn't bear it anymore and turned over and sat up. Almost at the same time, Wang Husheng, who was lying next to He Shuya, also turned over and sat up. When they got up, the two of them looked up to the sky and saw two Japanese reconnaissance planes whizzing past the sky.
"Are the Japs crazy?" Tian Shou, one of Wang Husheng's bodyguards, put up an awning and looked at the Japs reconnaissance planes passing by in the sky, and said dumbfounded, "In just a few minutes, at least six planes flew over!"
He Shuya's face suddenly darkened. This situation was indeed very unusual.
Wang Husheng, however, didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "The Fifth Battalion must have completed the task. The old devil Yamashita Fengwen found out that he had lost his target, so he became anxious."
Logically explained, Wang Husheng's statement also makes sense.
But for some reason, He Shuya always felt that it was not that simple, because the flight density of the Japanese reconnaissance planes flying over Fusong was really too high. This was almost the rhythm of launching a carpet search across Fusong County! Could it be that the old Japanese already knew that their new group had entered Fusong? Is this possible
Seeing He Shuya standing there suspiciously, Wang Husheng smiled and said: "Shuya, what are you worrying about? No matter how frequently the Japanese reconnaissance planes are dispatched and how low they fly, can they still find us sleeping in the dense forest? By night time There is a possibility of being discovered, but we should try to use as few torches as possible, or simply march under the moonlight."
Tian Yan continued smoothly: "That is, unless the Japanese pilots have clairvoyance eyes, it is impossible to detect us."
"That's right. It seems I'm over-worrying." He Shuya laughed at himself, but the next moment, the smile immediately froze on his face, and then he looked back at Tian Yan and asked, "Old Tian, what are you doing? What did you just say?"
"Just now?" Tian Yan said blankly, "Did I say anything just now? I didn't seem to say anything."
He Shuya said: "I told you, you just said it clearly, unless there is something wrong with the Japanese pilot?"
"Oh, Commander Xiao He, you said this." Tian Yan said with a smile, "I mean, unless the Japanese pilots have clairvoyance eyes, they will never find us hiding in the dense forest."
"That's it." He Shuya's face instantly turned pale and he stamped his feet, "It's broken!"
Seeing He Shuya in such a hurry, Wang Husheng couldn't help but pause in his heart and said solemnly: "Shuya, why did your face suddenly become so bad? Is it because you feel unwell?"
"No, I'm fine." He Shuya waved his hand and said, "But the political commissar, I seem to have missed one of the most critical factors when designing the transfer plan!" After a short pause, he added, "So the final result, It is very likely that we will not be able to achieve our intention of mobilizing the Japanese, but may instead put ourselves in a desperate situation!"
