Xia Yang smiled and said, "It's already amazing to think of this."
With that said, he walked to the sand table, and then said: "I thought about it, this time to resolve the Japanese offensive on Mount Wutai, it can be roughly divided into three steps.
The first step, as Ma Siyuan said, is to attack the few counties where the Japanese army has not so many troops to create momentum and make the Japanese realize that there are large-scale troops here.
In the second step, the Japanese army realized that there was a main force here, and would naturally deploy troops from the nearest Wutai Mountain area to encircle and suppress this area. At this time, we withdrew directly from this area, and then used our advantages in intelligence collection and familiarity with the terrain to directly attack the Wutai Mountain area.
The third step is also the most important step.
After we entered Wutai Mountain, there should not be as many Japanese troops left here as before. Moreover, in order to expand the scope of their encirclement and suppression, their forces must be dispersed. At that time, we will cooperate with Chen Shiliang's fourth brigade inside and outside, and together with the Communist guerrillas in the Wutai Mountain area, we will be able to assemble more than 8,000 elite troops in local areas. Carry out local encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army. "
"If this is the case, then our speed must be faster than the Japanese army." Ma Siyuan said, "Otherwise, we may be the ones who are surrounded and annihilated by then."
Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it is entirely possible. But our advantage is that we are too familiar with this mountain forest. We have traveled to these areas countless times just for daily exercises.
¡°The Japanese troops were all deployed from other places, and they definitely don¡¯t know any more about this mountainous area than we do. "
After hearing this, Ma Siyuan said: "Okay, I will gather the troops and be ready to go at any time."
At this time, in a small town thirty miles away from Mount Wutai, a large number of Japanese troops had already completed their assembly here.
Japanese troops can be seen everywhere on the road leading from the small town to Mount Wutai. They were fully armed and carried 38-gauge rifles. On top of the rifles, there was a Japanese plaster flag.
In addition to these people, there are also a large number of civilians who have been recruited to provide them with food transportation and winter clothing transportation.
Because it is already November and winter may come at any time.
The reason why we chose to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the Wutai Mountain area at this point in time. Okamura Neji, who was in charge of this encirclement and suppression, thought this way.
First of all, if these guerrillas want to obtain supplies, they can only get them from the people of Mount Wutai, or they can look for some food in the mountains, hunt, or pick wild fruits.
But in winter, it is difficult for them to hunt, and it will be more difficult than usual to obtain food from the people. After all, the food reserves of these ordinary people will not go there much, and they may not be willing to starve themselves in order to provide supplies to the guerrillas. Okamura Neiji believed that the ideological consciousness of these honest and humble people would not be as high as this.
On the other hand, Okamura Neji mobilized a large amount of food and grass for this encirclement and suppression. Not only Shanxi and Hebei, he even asked the Kwantung Army to give them a large amount of grain and grass sent from the three northeastern provinces.
It took them more than two months to prepare just the supplies needed for this encirclement and suppression campaign.
In addition, the naturalization of the villages and people in the Wutai Mountain area is also in their plan.
If these people cooperate with their encirclement and suppression, it will be okay. If they don't cooperate, they may provide materials and intelligence to the guerrillas. At that time, the entire village can be massacred, and the food and supplies in the village can be transported away or burned.
In short, even if these guerrillas cannot be killed, they will still starve to death.
In addition to the encirclement and suppression of the Wutai Mountain area, he also mobilized a large number of troops in the northwestern Shanxi region, with a total number of more than 100,000, to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army entrenched there.
The scale of the encirclement and suppression there was larger than that in the Mount Wutai area. And the plans implemented were more ruthless and harsh.
According to the opinions of the General Staff Headquarters under Neiji Okamura, the "three-light policy" should be implemented for the vast rural areas in northwestern Shanxi, that is, the policy of burning all, killing all, and robbing all.
Since the soil on which the Eighth Route Army relies is vast rural areas that cannot be reached by the Japanese army, they can try to destroy the soil where the Eighth Route Army lives.
Without this soil, the situation of the cockroach-like Eighth Route Army will only become more difficult.
In addition to these, they have also set up a large number of strongholds in the Datong area, Taiyuan area, and around these big cities to control traffic arteries and block communications between these guerrillas.
Throughout the entire encirclement and suppression operation, there were probably more than 200,000 troops and civilians mobilized.
On a huge rock in this small town, several Japanese officers were standing, seemingly discussing something there.
The officer headed by him was none other than Major General Fujiwara Akutsu, the brigade commander of the Japanese 74th Brigade.
Next to him is his chief of staff Yoshio Nagayama.
Fujiwara Akutsu participated in many battles, including the attack on Taiyuan and the battle in southern Shanxi. He was a vanguard. The Japanese 74th Brigade led by him also made repeated military exploits in these battles.
At this time, there was a bit of arrogance on his face. Because since entering the Shanxi area to fight, he has not encountered any hard nails.
In the previous battle with the Jinsui Army, they could be said to be arrogant. Those Jinsui troops seemed to just run with their butts stuck out and did not pose much of a threat to them.
As for those Eighth Route Army soldiers who were dressed in rags and looked like beggars, although they fought bravely, they were no match for them because their equipment was so poor.
His troops once encountered ambushes by some Eighth Route guerrillas. As a result, these guerrillas often started running after firing a few shots.
As for why they ran, it was actually very simple, because there were only so many bullets in these guerrilla guns. After shooting these bullets, they can only run.
"Your Excellency Yoshio Nagayama, have you seen that peak? That is the Wutai Mountain area. There are too many mountains in Shanxi. Ever since I entered the Shanxi area, I have always missed my hometown." Fujiwara Akutsu used a telescope Looking into the distance, he said to Chief of Staff Yoshio Nagayama next to him.
Yoshio Yongshan adjusted his gold-rimmed eyes.
He looks gentle and looks more like a school teacher than a chief of staff strategizing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
