"Hai!" Oluhara Junsi stood up and said, "I will do my best to assist the General in leveling Damei Mountain."
After the two of them finished speaking, they sat down again.
Hebian Zhengzo continued: "Xiaoluyuan Sang, not only must we level Damei Mountain, we must also annihilate Xu Rui's troops!"
Oluhara Junsi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It is entirely possible to defeat Damei Mountain, but it is probably impossible to annihilate Xu Rui's troops."
"Really?" Kawabe Shozo frowned and said disapprovingly, "Why would Okahara-san say that?"
Oluhara Junsi added: "Your Excellency General, recently I have been studying the tactics of the armed forces behind enemy lines led by the Chinese Communist Party, and I have really gained something. I found that the Communist leader Mao is a very powerful person. A military strategist, the guerrilla warfare method he proposed is very powerful!"
"Guerrilla warfare?" Kawabe Shozo nodded and said, "Okahara-san, can you elaborate on it?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "If I want to explain in detail, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in a while. I would like to briefly talk about the purpose of guerrilla warfare proposed by Mao. The purpose of guerrilla warfare proposed by Mao can be summarized in sixteen words. "
"Sixteen characters?" Kawabe Shozo asked, "Which sixteen characters?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "If the land is lost, people will be saved, and people and land will be saved; if people are lost, the land will be saved, and people and land will be lost!"
"Loss of land saves people, and both people and land are saved? Loss of people saves land, and both people and land are lost?" Jun Nakamura frowned and said, "Why does this sound so difficult to pronounce?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "Although these four sentences sound difficult to pronounce, as a guideline for guerrilla warfare, they can be regarded as golden rules!"
"The golden rule?" Kawabe Shozo said, "Oluhara-san, you seem to have high regard for Mao's guerrilla warfare theory?"
Oluhara Junsi shook his head and said: "What I admire in my humble position is not Mao himself or his guerrilla warfare theory, but the ultimate practice of Mao's guerrilla warfare theory on the battlefield. The reason why the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines in the North China battlefield can fight more and more, and the more they fight, the stronger they become." , just because this theory of guerrilla warfare serves as a guideline!”
Hebian Zhengsan frowned and said: "But Xu Rui's troops are not like this. His Dameishan Independent Regiment has never moved since it occupied Dameishan! The last time they faced a large-scale sweep by the Tenth Division, Dameishan Independent Regiment The regiment has not given up on Damei Mountain, and has not chosen to lose land to save people, right?"
"But this does not mean that the Dameishan Independent Regiment will not give up Dameishan. When the Himeji Division sent troops last time, the reason why the Dameishan Independent Regiment did not leave was just because it was not up to the task!" Oluhara Junsi He paused for a moment and then said, "However, if the imperial army mobilizes two divisions and one detachment of heavy troops to carry out mopping up, it is entirely possible for the Dameishan Independent Regiment to abandon Dameishan even if they know that they are losing. , and moved to fight elsewhere.”
Kawabe Shozo frowned and thought for a moment, and finally agreed with Okahara's judgment: "Ogahara-san, what you said is not completely unreasonable."
Oluhara Junsi continued: "Therefore, when your Excellency the General formulates a combat plan against the Dameishan Independent Regiment this time, the tactical goal must be clear. Is it to occupy the Dameishan Mountain District as the main goal, or to annihilate the Dameishan Independent Regiment?" ?The difference between the two is huge!”
Kawabe Shozo said: "What if the goal is to annihilate the Dameishan Independent Regiment?"
Oluhara Junsi said categorically: "General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If we aim to annihilate the Dameishan Independent Regiment, we will only get disappointment! With Xu Rui's tactical command ability, coupled with the current strength of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, With the size and combat effectiveness of the troops, plus the presence of the Wolf Fang troops, it is absolutely impossible to surround or even annihilate them with just two divisions and one detachment!"
At this point, Oluhara Junsi paused for a moment, and after Kawabe Shozo digested this judgment, he continued: "However, it is entirely possible to occupy Damei Mountain."
Kawabe Masami struggled to digest Oluhara Junsi's judgment, and then said: "If the goal of annihilating the Dameishan Independent Regiment cannot be achieved, then the goal of occupying Dameishan is acceptable. After all, Xu Rui has almost conquered Dameishan." The operation is as good as iron, and just now, in a tactic of concealing the truth, it purchased a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant from Shanghai. Over time, if Xu Rui is allowed to build these factories, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Your Majesty the General, you have a clear lesson!" Oluhara Junsidun said, "I also believe that this is probably the last time for the imperial army to capture Damei Mountain, because in another year and a half, when Xu Rui will general the arsenal, cement factory, and pharmaceutical factory Once all the chemical plants and chemical plants are built, Damei Mountain will become a large-scale military fortress that will never fall."
Hebian Zhengzo nodded and said: "Oluhara-san, please tell me your opinion. How can we formulate this combat plan so that we can drive the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment out of Damei Mountain?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "General, do you have a map of our enemy's situation?"
"Yes." Hebian Shozo had been prepared early and immediately asked Nakamura Shun to take out the map he was carrying. On the other side, Yamayama Takeo and Abe Yuji quickly removed the food and wine on the low table, wiped the table clean, and then put the map in the Dameishan area. A map of the situation between ourselves and the enemy was placed on the low table.
Xiaoluyuan Junsi pointed to the map and explained: "General, please see, the area controlled by the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment has now expanded to the three counties of Pucheng, Guanxian and Shanxian outside Damei Mountain. However, most of these three counties are The terrain is plain or hilly, which is conducive to the maneuverability of the imperial army's mechanized troops, so it is not difficult to recapture these three counties. What is difficult is to occupy the Damei Mountain District!"
"That's true." Shun Nakamura said, "Once the front advances to the Damei Mountain District, not only will the Imperial Army's mechanized troops be unable to maneuver, but even the Imperial Army's infantry mobility will be greatly restricted, because most of the Damei Mountain Area is full of Uninhabited virgin forest.”
"If it were just a maneuvering problem, it wouldn't be a big problem." Oluhara Junsi said, "But what's even more terrifying is that when the imperial army maneuvers in the virgin forest of Damei Mountain, Xu Rui will send out his wolf The tooth troops will carry out endless attacks on the imperial army!"
After a pause, Oluhara Junsi continued: "The harassment by the Langya troops is not the harassment by the guerrilla zone militia. For example, the harassment by the guerrilla zone militia is like a tombstone. Although it is annoying, it is not a big deal. But the attack of Wolf Fang is like the sneak attack of tiger and leopard, it can tear off a large piece of flesh and blood from the body of the imperial army in one bite!"
Hebian Shozo nodded and said: "I know that this is how the Himeji Division was killed by Xu Rui's Wolf Fang troops."
Xiaoluyuan Junsi said in a deep voice: "So, in this sweep, the biggest threat to the imperial army is still Xu Rui's Langya troops. If this threat cannot be eliminated, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The military operations in Damei Mountain will be definitely It will fail, and the best result at that time will be nothing more than failure.”
Kawabe Shozo couldn't help but look at Nakamura Shun. He felt that he really came to the right place this time to find Ogawara Shunsi.
At that moment, Kawabe Shozo asked again: "So, how can we eliminate the threat of the Wolf Fang Force?"
Nakamura Junya said: "Yes, Okahara-san, even your special operations brigade is no match for Xu Rui's Langya troops, so what other troops can deal with them?"
Oluhara Junsi shook his head and said: "Nakamura-san, although Xu Rui's Wolf Fang Troop is powerful, it is not without its weaknesses. Not to mention the Wolf Fang Troop, even Xu Rui himself also has weaknesses. Last time in Jiujiang, At that time, Xu Rui was almost killed by Commander Okamura's guards."
Nakamura Shun snorted and asked, "What is Xu Rui's weakness?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "Xu Rui and his Langya are best at special operations in complex terrains such as jungles and cities. However, in plain terrain, their combat effectiveness is actually not much stronger than ordinary infantry. Go, in the open plains, Wolf Fang can be easily killed!"
Hebian Zhengzo frowned and said: "But the problem is that the Damei Mountain area is exactly a jungle terrain, and we have no way to turn it into an open plain terrain."
Oluhara Junsi said: "We really can't turn Damei Mountain into a plain terrain, but it is possible to turn Damei Mountain into an open terrain! As long as it is in an open terrain without cover, even if it is not a plain, it is Even in mountainous areas, the threat of Wolf Fang will be greatly reduced!"
"Turning Damei Mountain into open terrain?" Toshi Nakamura asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Nakamura-san, this is possible." Hebian Zhengzo came to his senses and said, "The imperial army can set fire to the original forest of Damei Mountain!"
"Yes, set fire to the mountain!" Oluhara Junsi said in a deep voice, "It has entered winter now, which is the driest time of the year in the mountains and forests. Together with the mountain fires, coupled with the help of the northwest wind, without burning It will be difficult to extinguish it until all the forests are destroyed!"
"Yoshi!" Hebian Zhengsan sat up on his knees, patted Oluhara Junsi on the shoulder and said, "Oluhara-san, your idea is really wonderful! It's simply brilliant!"
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi quickly knelt down and stood up, then said, "Your Excellency, the General, is so complimentary."
"Ogahara-san is too humble!" Kawabe Shozo straightened his face, bowed solemnly to Ogahara Junsi, and then said seriously, "Ogahara-san, I can almost foresee that the imperial army will definitely We achieved victory in the second sweep, and you, Oluhara-san, deserve the most credit for this victory!"
Oluhara Junsi quickly turned his body sideways and said, "I don't dare to be a general, Your Majesty."
Kawabe Shozo bowed and stood up again, saying: "Okahara-san, I have to rush back to the headquarters right now, summon the combat staff to formulate a complete combat plan as soon as possible, and your special operations brigade must also re-select combatants as soon as possible. , and start training again."
