Chapter 555 Both the war zone and the devil believe it
After the commander-in-chief said his judgment, he did not wait for the Chief of Staff to explain, and then he explained his judgment basis: "I remember that after the Noda United disappeared, we specifically asked the intelligence department to check the loss of troops and specific locations of various units of the National Salvation Army, and tried to use them to judge how the Noda United was killed by the National Salvation Army."
"The investigation result given to me by the intelligence department at that time was: the strength of the National Salvation Army's artillery unit increased instead of reducing after the Noda United was eliminated. The equipment of mountain artillery and large-caliber mortars were much more than a few days ago, and the forces of several main battalions did not lose any losses."
"It is precisely because of this that we determined that the Noda United team was really killed by the National Salvation Army, otherwise the extra artillery troops would not be able to explain."
"As for how they ate the Noda United overnight, we can't judge at all: because the strength of several main battalions of the National Salvation Army did not change any changes due to the destruction of the Noda United Army."
"If the two sides fight, with the combat effectiveness of the Noda United team, no matter how stupid they are, they can defeat two or three thousand national rescue troops, but their strength has not changed."
"So we came to the same conclusion as the Japanese: the National Salvation Army did hide a mysterious force in their defense zone. The Noda United was killed by this mysterious force, and several main battalions did not participate in the battle."
"Now the intelligence department suddenly told me that the National Salvation Army does not have the mysterious power we judged, and the Noda United was not killed by the mysterious power. Isn't this slap them in the face?"
"After I repeatedly confirmed with them, Director Zhang of the Intelligence Department told me: the mountain artillery and large-caliber mortars equipped by the National Salvation Army artillery units have increased instead of reducing, which are all seen by intelligence personnel with their own eyes, and they will definitely not be fake."
"Now you tell me that the artillery troops of the National Salvation Army do not have so many artillery. They actually suffered heavy losses in the battle to attack the Noda United, leaving only one artillery company's equipment. Could it be that the artillery that so many intelligence personnel saw were fake, or were they all dazzled?"
The commander-in-chief said it with confidence and could not find any reason to refute.
When the Chief of Staff first saw the first half of this information, his thoughts were exactly the same as those of the Commander-in-Chief, so he frowned, thinking that the intelligence department was too stupid and that such fake information would not be analyzed and sent directly to himself was too dereliction of duty.
I looked back and realized that everyone, including myself, was fooled by the National Savior Army.
Seeing the commander-in-chief talked more and more, the chief of staff quickly explained: "The chief is all fake. After the Noda United disappeared, the things the intelligence department saw in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone were all illusions they deliberately created, confusing us..."
"No, to be precise, it should be to confuse the Japanese, and through bluffing, they forced the Japanese to end their sweeps as soon as possible!"
The commander-in-chief listened to the few keywords the Chief of Staff said just now, as if he wanted to see through the Chief of Staff, stared at him and asked, "What's fake, why do you have to bluff!"
“It’s written on the intelligence!”
The Chief of Staff quickly handed the information in his hand to the commander-in-chief, and then introduced: "The one who killed the Noda United was not a mysterious force, but a few main battalions under the National Salvation Army."
"Zhou Cheng assembled all the troops and firepower of the National Salvation Army in Niuhou Village to defeat the Noda United Team."
"In this battle of encirclement and annihilation: the national rescue army fired more than 1,500 artillery shells, and more than 3,000 mortar shells were fired. Niuhou Village, where the Japanese army camped, was directly razed to the ground by shells."
"After reconnaissance, Niuhou Village has indeed been rebuilt by the National Salvation Army. And on the night when the Noda United was eliminated, there was a very violent explosion from Niuhou Village. Both factors prove that the National Salvation Army used a large number of shells in this encirclement and annihilation battle."
"First use artillery shells to severely damage the Japanese army, and then attack the remaining Japanese."
"In order to quickly fight and decisively, the National Salvation Army not only dispatched a large number of infantry, but also dispatched precious cavalry units. A total of more than 2,000 infantry and more than 200 cavalry were lost in the battle."
"After the battle, not only were the cavalry troops completely wiped out, but several main battalions that participated in the battle in the National Salvation Army were also wiped out."
"When the Niuhou Village was bombarded, the artillery troops of the National Salvation Army also suffered heavy losses under the Japanese artillery fire counterattack, with less than ten artillery pieces left."
"At this time, the National Salvation Army almost lost its combat effectiveness. If the Japanese army sent two more infantry brigades into their defense zone, the National Salvation Army would undoubtedly be defeated and may face the crisis of the destruction of the entire army."
"Zhou Cheng is too cunning. In order to scare the Japanese, he forced them to end the mobilization and did not dare to send troops to attack their defense areas. He temporarily organized the people to pretend to be the main force and use fake artillery to supplement the artillery troops with fake artillery, which made us and the Japanese and puppet army intelligence personnel feel that their strength has not been lost and have been strengthened. Using this as a basis, it is believed that the National Salvation Army still hides a mysterious force in their defense areas."
"Now the goal has been achieved. After the Japanese retreated, they were unable to attack the National Salvation Army in a short period of time due to heavy losses in the army. In addition, the National Salvation Army supplemented a large number of absenteeism from the mining area, and the strength of the troops was slightly restored, and some troops gradually became careless."
"Yesterday morning, when their artillery battalion was training, two mules and horses were frightened and actually pulled a fake cannon made of wood into the village. When the people saw it, they talked a lot. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, the National Salvation Army had to announce the use of fake cannons to rush to the storefront and force the Japanese to withdraw. They also reduced the artillery battalion into an artillery company, and only equipped with four field cannons, four mountain cannons, and two large-caliber mortars!"
"Not only artillery, but also the cavalry battalion that the National Salvation Army wanted to expand after the war was also fake."
"Their cavalry is less than thirty people left, and although there are more than one hundred war horses, they can only form a cavalry company, which is far from forming a cavalry battalion."
"The intelligence also says that the newly established pacification garrison and Xiyang garrison of the National Salvation Army are only equipped with light infantry weapons, and the two garrisons are equipped with 1,500 people. Not only are there no cavalry troops, but there are not even heavy machine guns and mortars. The most powerful weapon is the grenade launcher!"
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief had already believed it by 60% to 70%.
After carefully reading the information in my hand, I ordered: "If the intelligence department continues to investigate, you must be 100% sure that the content written on it is true."
"In addition, I would like to reveal this information to the Japanese. Isn't the National Salvation Army going to attack Shouyang and Yangquan? Since their current strength is not as strong as we imagined, as long as the Japanese army set up a net of heaven and earth in Shouyang and Yangquan, the National Salvation Army will definitely have wings to escape this attack."
The Chief of Staff immediately received the order: "Please rest assured, please let me make arrangements for the position now! No matter what I say this time, I will never let the national rescue army turn bad luck into good luck!"
The efficiency of the special high-level courses is not worse than that of the intelligence departments in the Second World War Zone.
Although the intelligence networks in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone have just been established, the backbone of the intelligence network is very powerful.
Moreover, the intelligence network of the Japanese army lurking inside the National Salvation Army was not damaged much.
When the war zone received the information, the Special High School also delivered a message with similar content to the army commander.
When the commander finished reading the first half of the information, his reaction was similar to that of the commander-in-chief of the War Zone. After reading it, he suddenly realized it and became angry.
Subconsciously, I thought I had missed the excellent opportunity to destroy the national rescue army.
"Sir, we are now sending troops into the National Rescue Military Defense Zone. I don't know if it's time to do it. After all, it's only ten days since the end of the mobilization!" The Chief of Staff wanted to make up for the temporary remedy, but after reading the information, he stared at the commander's proposal.
"It's too late!" The commander shook his head and replied with a disappointed look on his face.
"In the intelligence, in the past ten days, the National Salvation Army robbed at least 3,000 absenteeism from the mining area. Those absenteeism were all prisoners, and the replenishment of the troops could form combat effectiveness."
"After replenishing these three thousand people, the combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army will be restored to at least 60% or 70% before the war."
"In addition, they are familiar with the terrain and are waiting for their leisure. If we send a gang to kill, we may not be able to get a bargain!"
"Bageyalu, Zhou Cheng is really cunning. He actually used dozens of fake cannons made of wood to make us fools. He thought they really had some secret troops." The Chief of Staff was very unwilling to accept it after hearing this, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and curse, venting the anger he had held in his heart.
The commander was also very angry, but he did not swear like the Chief of Staff.
Zhou Cheng did not stand in front of them, and even if he cursed, he could not change the ending of Shanxi garrison being fooled.
He has to find a way to return the shame.
Since there is no way to repair the siege, we will use other methods to continue attacking the national rescue army, and fight against tooth.
After staring at the sand table for five minutes, he spoke: "This information proves that the National Salvation Army does not have so-called secret troops, they can be eliminated by the Imperial Army."
"But because the garrison suffered too much loss, I would definitely be unable to send troops to take the initiative to attack their defense areas in a short period of time, so I decided to use Shouyang and Yangquan to fight them well."
The commander picked up the baton and pointed at Shouyang and Yangquan on the sand table and introduced: "Our previous idea was to build these two places into meat grinders, and to consume a lot of their troops while the National Rescue Army attacked."
"Now I'm going to add one."
"Since the National Salvation Army is not as powerful as we imagined, should we continue to increase the scale of these two battles?"
"Divide the entire battle into two stages: the first stage remains unchanged, and use the Imperial Army and deep defense positions to kill and rescue the national army."
"After the National Salvation Army was almost consumed, the second phase will begin."
"Assemble at least two brigades of the Imperial Army and four regiments of the Imperial Army, form two counterattack troops of 3,000 people, take the opportunity to enter the National Rescue Army defense zone, take advantage of their illness, and kill them and defeat the National Rescue Army in one battle."
After hearing this, the chief of staff began to look outwards with small stars.
The army commander's plan is so good. If the National Salvation Army is stronger than everyone expected, the counterattack troops will retreat directly and will not suffer any losses if they do not go to the battlefield.
If the National Salvation Army really suffers heavy casualties during the attack, the counterattack troops will take the opportunity to fight out and will definitely defeat the National Salvation Army.
No matter which possibility is, the Shanxi garrison will be invincible.
Hurry up and support: "Sir, wise, I will immediately organize everyone to formulate a combat plan. This time I will definitely not let the national rescue army escape."
