Check in from the bright sword

Horie sighed and said, "There is no other way. The Pacific battlefield is tight, and almost all supplies must be given priority to the Pacific battlefield."

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the deployment of defense." No Yuichiro said, "What's your idea?"

Horie Mo said: "Your Excellency, Commander, my idea is actually very simple, that is, to abandon Lu'an Mansion."

"Nani? Abandon Lu'an Mansion?" Ye Yuichiro said angrily, "Ridiculous, what kind of bad idea is this? Do you know that once Lu'an Mansion is abandoned, the Taiyue base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army will be connected with the Jinnan base area?" , This not only means that they will have a stable large-scale base area with a population of more than 500 million, but also means that the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi will pose a deadly threat to the Imperial Army in Taiyuan, Yangquan, and even Henan!"

It must be admitted that Ye Yuichiro, an old devil, still has a bit of vision.

His analysis is exactly the same as the development of this area in another time and space.

In another time and space, after Japan announced its unconditional surrender, the Eighth Route Army's Taiyue base area was connected with the Jinnan base area, forming a large and stable base area.

Seeing that half of Shanxi was about to change hands, Yan Laoxi quickly mobilized the Jinsui Army and launched the Shangdang Campaign.

In the end, it was defeated by the troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Since then, Southeast Shanxi has changed hands, and the liberated area centered on Lu'an (Changzhi) has also become the most stable base in the middle and wild.

Therefore, No Yuichiro categorically rejected Horimo Kazuma's proposal.

Are you kidding, if you give the Lu'an Mansion to the Eighth Route Army, then the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army will not be able to shake the sky?

If you really want to do this, in less than half a year, the entire Shanxi First Army will suffer disaster!

Horie Mao Yimo said calmly: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not too late to train you after I finish speaking. I said I would give up Lu'an Mansion, but I didn't say that Lu'an Mansion should be given away." To the Eighth Route Army."

"Huh?" Ye Youichiro said with a change of expression, "You mean to give the Lu'an Mansion to the Jinsui Army?"

"Yes." Hori Mao nodded and said, "Yan Xishan's attitude towards the imperial army has always been ambiguous, and the relationship with the Eighth Route Army is not good. But a few words of complacency will not pose a substantial threat to the imperial army."

"However, after the Jinsui Army enters Lu'an Mansion, the Eighth Route Army will immediately become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Jinsui Army."

"Because the Jinsui army stationed in Lu'an will find that they are surrounded by territories controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and they are almost a piece of meat in the mouth of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Under such circumstances, another friction between the two sides will be a high probability event."

"In this way, the military pressure that the imperial army will face will be greatly reduced."

"Yoshi!" Noyou nodded happily, then patted Horimo on the shoulder and said, "Hori Mao-kun, the Front Army Command transferred you to serve in the 1st Army. This decision is really wise."

"Hayi." Horimo nodded heavily upon hearing the words.

Horimo felt a little complacent for a while.

Because from Ye Yuichiro's statement, he knew that he had gained a firm foothold in the First Army.

If a chief of staff does not have the support of the commander, he will be unable to move forward, and even the combat staff below will not take him seriously.

His predecessor, Major General Hanaya Masa, had a bad relationship with No Yuichiro, and as a result, he was dismissed by several section chiefs of the staff department, and in the end he could only apply for transfer.

Izumo Horimo didn't want to repeat Hanaya Masa's old ways.

So Horimo went on to say: "Your Excellency, Commander, after abandoning Lu'an Mansion, some garrison units that do not belong to the 36th Division can be transferred to Ping'an County to strengthen the strength of the 69th Division."

"Yo Xi." No Yuichiro said happily, "Let's do it like this."

Chapter 449 A Good Move

Ping'an County, the headquarters of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

Inoue Sadae said to Yamamoto Ryoichi: "Yamamoto-kun, the headquarters has replied."

"Oh, did you reply so soon?" Ryoichi Yamamoto curled his lips and said, "If I'm not wrong, the headquarters must have rejected our request, right?"

"Yamamoto-kun, you guessed wrong this time." Inoue Sadae said happily, "The headquarters agreed to our request and will add 69 imperial soldiers to our 2000th Division within half a month."

"Nani?" Ryoichi Yamamoto said in amazement, "2000 people will be added within half a month?"

"This really surprised me, but what I'm even more curious about is where did the headquarters get these 2000 supplementary soldiers? As far as I know, the base camp has not sent reinforcements to the North China Front Army Command for more than half a year. Therefore, it is impossible for the Front Army Command to have supplementary troops for our 1st Army.”

"The base camp has not sent reinforcements for more than half a year." Inoue Sadae said, "In fact, the base camp has not only not sent reinforcements to the North China Front Army, but has even continued to withdraw troops from the North China Front Army."

"Just received the notice that the 1th Division of our 36st Army has also been transferred."

"Nani?" Ryo Yamamoto said dumbfounded, "The 36th Division has been transferred? What about Lu'an?"

"The strength of our 1st Army is already stretched, and it is already very difficult to maintain the law and order in the current area. Now that the 36th Division is transferred away, the law and order in Shanxi will deteriorate sharply!"

"Is the headquarters planning to transfer a brigade from our 69th Division to Lu'an?"

"No." Inoue Zhenwei shook his head and said, "Didn't I just say that the headquarters will dispatch 69 supplementary soldiers to us within half a month, so how could it be possible to transfer troops from our [-]th Division instead?"

After a pause, Zhenwei Inoue said again: "The headquarters decided to abandon Lu'an and secretly hand it over to the Jinsui Army."

"Secretly hand over Lu'an to the Jinsui Army?" Ryoichi Yamamoto's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he praised, "Commander, this is really a good move. In this way, it is inevitable that the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army will produce Friction, mutual internal friction, the two can no longer work together to deal with the imperial army like before."

"In this way, the pressure on the security of the imperial army in Shanxi will be greatly reduced."

"Wonderful, this move is indeed very wonderful, it can be said to turn decay into magic."

"What turns decay into magic?" Inoue Zhenwei said disapprovingly, "It's just sacrificing the interests of the imperial army in exchange for living in peace."

Ryoichi Yamamoto shook his head and said: "Division Commander, if the imperial army's strength is still fully dominant, of course there is no need for such subtle means, but now that the imperial army's strength is already at a clear disadvantage, such means are necessary. "

"Actually, I have had such an idea for a long time, but I have never dared to bring it up to you, head of the division."

"Nani? Did you have such an idea?" Inoue Sadae said, "You mean we should do the same?"

"Yes." Ryo Yamamoto nodded and said, "The 1st Army's abandonment of Lu'an will certainly provoke friction between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army. The only suspense is whether the two will stop at friction or break out into conflict!"

"However, if our 69th Division abandons Heyuan County, it will definitely trigger a military conflict between the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Inoue Zhenwei said, "What's your reason?"

"My reason is very simple." Yamamoto Ryoichi said, "Because neither Li Yunlong nor Chu Yunfei are willing to suffer, and both Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei are already preparing for the future civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. If the imperial army gives them another flash point at this time, the two families will easily break out in armed conflict."

"Is there?" Inoue Zhenwei frowned, "Are they preparing for a civil war? Why didn't I see it?"

"The head of the division just didn't pay attention." Yamamoto Ryo said, "The earliest Chu Yunfei sent Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion out of Lijia Town, and not long ago he sent the 1st Battalion and the Artillery Battalion out of Dagu Town. Such a consideration!"

"Especially when the 1st Battalion and the Artillery Battalion came out of Dagu Town, they almost directly pointed their sharp knives at the belly of the Independent Regiment."

"Once something happens, the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army can immediately cover the headquarters of the independent regiment with artillery fire, and its 1st infantry battalion can destroy the headquarters of the independent regiment in a short time."

"In a sense, this is already an undeclared war."

"It seems to be true." Inoue Zhenwei nodded suddenly, then shook his head and said, "No, no, if it is true as you said, how can Li Yunlong be willing to suffer? Can he not fight back?"

Ryoichi Yamamoto shook his head and said, "The reason why Li Yunlong stayed put is probably not because he didn't dare to fight back, but because he didn't want to."
