Chapter 1036 Even though I wasn't there, Xiao Ya and the others were.
We don't know what Terauchi Hisaichi's plans are yet. If we rashly meet with him, he might very well betray Yamashiro.
Therefore, everything still depends on the right opportunity.
After considering this point, Little Zhuge said, "You have a better relationship with Hirata Ichiro, so go to him first and find out what's going on."
Zhou Weiguo was expelled and left the Fifth War Zone in a swagger that same day. The explanation given by the war zone was that the situation in the south was delicate, and Zhou Weiguo needed to go there first to take charge of the situation. At the same time, the Independent Brigade would also leave the Fifth War Zone and move south.
There were three purposes for doing this: first, to let the North China Area Army know that the Independent Brigade was leaving, thus throwing them into chaos; second, to tell Togo Heiichiro that if they did not take action, they would be leaving; and third, to tell the Japanese General Headquarters that they would not give up the area in the Mandalay direction, and that if they dared to attack, Yamashiro would fight them to the death.
"Will the Japanese army make a move?" On the transport plane, Asaka Shurei tossed a can of food to Zhou Weiguo and asked.
Their transport planes will first go to the mountain town, then transfer from the mountain town to the spring town, and finally head to Mandalay.
Zhou Weiguo opened the can, then looked through the porthole at the white clouds drifting in the distance and the two fighter jets escorting him for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure about the North China Area Army, but Togo Heiichiro will definitely attack."
He was in charge of surveillance, but also the one responsible for the attack. He would attack as soon as his side made a move to retreat.
"We left in such a hurry that we forgot to remind our older sister and the others."
Zhou Weiguo glanced at her and then smiled, "Improve what?"
"What should we do?" I thought I would stay at the war zone headquarters for at least two or three days, but I didn't expect to be sent out by the headquarters before I even stayed for a day.
"There's nothing to remind you of." Zhou Weiguo lazily stretched out a hand and glanced in the direction of the Independent Brigade before saying, "Xiao Ya and Shengli will handle this matter."
The Independent Brigade didn't receive the news of Zhou Weiguo's departure until almost evening. Xiao Ya, dressed in her military uniform, came to the command post, took a sip of tea from Zhang Guifang's mug, and said to the people present, "Awen is gone. Shengli, Sano Tadashi, the command of the entire unit is now in your hands."
Fang Shengli felt immense pressure for the first time, and he stretched out his hands to rub his face vigorously.
"Victory is imminent, you're nervous," Xiao Ya asked, putting down her teacup.
Fang Shengli chuckled; "It's impossible not to be nervous, after all, this time we are facing a different situation."
In the past, although the independent brigade had encountered attacks and interceptions from the Japanese army, the enemy had never really taken them seriously. But this time was different. The enemy's eyes were fixed on this place, and the slightest movement would cause a large-scale change.
With Lao Zhou not around, he was still somewhat worried. This wasn't some other matter that he could pass on to someone else; it involved the lives of thousands of soldiers, and his life was in his hands.
"We will fight the same way we have always fought. Whether he is watching us or not does not have a big impact on us. We must have confidence in our abilities and the abilities of our soldiers."
Xiao Ya encouraged everyone, and seeing that no one spoke, she coughed and came to the map. "Alright, let's talk about the Japanese army's deployment first, especially what's going on on our front."
front?
Shen Xin looked up at Xiao Ya for a moment and then asked, "Xiao Ya, why are you asking about the positive side of the situation?"
Xiao Ya squinted at the Japanese positions and said, "Because I'm going to attack?"
“They absolutely cannot attack.” Togo Heiichiro stood in front of the map and was very certain after hearing Uei’s analysis.
Hearing his confidence, Uei wanted to tell him something: it was precisely because of his confidence that the 14th Division was led to hell.
However, he couldn't say this. Although he was transferred from headquarters, he only had the right to advise and analyze. The real decision-maker was still Togo Heiichiro.
According to his own analysis, the Independent Brigade is very likely to launch a large-scale offensive, while Togo Heiichiro believes that they will not attack, and may even take advantage of an opportunity to quickly relocate.
The reason was a message sent from the Japanese Fifth War Zone.
“Division Commander, we cannot use common sense to view the Independent Brigade.” Ue-i felt that talking to the person in front of him was really tiring. They had almost lost a brigade, so why was he so sure that the other side would not attack?
Togo Heiichiro chuckled a few times; "Kamii-kun, I understand your concerns, but what you're worried about is impossible."
Seemingly to better illustrate his judgment, he led Shangjing to the sand table and pointed to the map with his command stick; "My forces on the left and right flanks have formed an unbreakable pincer. The Independent Brigade is now located in the middle of this pincer, about ten kilometers away. This distance may not be much for us, but it is a great threat to them. As long as our forces quickly encircle them, they will be in big trouble. Moreover, a regiment of our cavalry has now entered Xingjia Village, which is less than twenty kilometers away from them."
That's what they say, but the problem is...
"We just need to observe their movements. In addition, we can have the North China Area Army Command move its cavalry regiment to force them to relocate. As soon as they move, our opportunity will come."
"Xiao Ya, a Japanese cavalry regiment stationed in Xingjia Village is moving towards our rear."
Xiao Ya, who had just finished washing up, received bad news from Tian Jing.
"So fast?" Xiao Ya wiped her hands with a towel, took the call, and after reading it, she took Ruth and Zhang Guifang to the command post. As for Nakamura, since she was going to leave Hasegawa Kiyoshi's side for a while, she had let Nakamura stay with Hasegawa Kiyoshi for the time being. After all, he was a naval person, and he wouldn't be of much use to her.
"It seems the enemy is trying to force us to leave." Fang Shengli pointed to the Japanese army's marching route that he had already drawn when Xiao Ya came in.
Xiao Ya glanced at the route and then asked, "What's the situation at the front?"
"The Japanese army remained unchanged, making no move whatsoever."
The silence was the biggest noise. Xiao Ya took a deep breath and turned to look at Gao Yun beside her. "Gao Yun, if I give you a reinforced company of special operations battalion, plus a third of the anti-aircraft machine guns and a mortar company, can you hold off that Japanese regiment?"
Gao Yun's lips curled up slightly; "Madam, this isn't a question of whether it can be blocked or not."
