Chapter 34 Cage Tactics

Looking at the rising sun flag with "Long-lasting Wuyun" posted on the corners posted on the wall, Okamura Yasuji didn't say anything for a long time

Looking back on his performance in his tenth Army commander, he can be said to be mixed. From the stalemate of the De'an Battle to the victory of the Nanchang Battle, from the tragic battle of the Shanggao Battle to the unbeaten defeat of the Changsha Battle, to the honesty of the Okamura Yasuji was not satisfied with his performance. If he scored, he would only give himself 50 points. Yes, he was not yet in the passing line.

It is undeniable that I did meet a god-like opponent in the battlefield in central China, and this person is Xue Yue.

Xue Yue's tenacity, Xue Yue's perseverance, Xue Yue's decisiveness, and his control of the situation and prediction of the trend. Everything is not inferior to him, and even faintly overshadows him. But it is undeniable that Xue Yue actually only has a bad card in his hand, but he has a big card in his hand, and even an ace card.

The ace in Okamura Yasuji's hand was not the aviation army or the navy, but Chiang Kai-shek.

That's right, it's Chiang Kai-shek. Every time at a critical moment, this artillery student would jump out to help Okamura Yanji. This is the case in the De'an Battle, this is the case in Nanchang Battle, this is the case in Shanggao Battle, and this is the case in Changsha Battle, but sometimes Xue Yue would withstand the pressure of Chiang Kai-shek, and sometimes it could not.

Having such good cards and aces, he ended up having a draw with Xue Yue. Okamura Yanji was very disappointed with his performance. He felt that he should not be of this level. Xue Yue was just an old soldier who graduated from Baoding Military Academy, while Okamura received the most advanced military theory education at the Mainland University.

However, after several battles, Okamura Yasuji gradually discovered that compared to Xue Yue, his biggest weakness is experience.

That's right, it's practical experience. Although Okamura is a teenager older than Xue Yue, in terms of practical experience, the two of them are not on the same level.

Before the two fought in De'an, Okamura Yasuji only commanded a few small-scale battles in the northeast, and wiped out more than a dozen democratic anti-Japanese wars that were similar to militia. However, Xue Yue was not the case. This guy participated in the unstoppable Northern Expedition, fought the Central Plains War with millions of troops participating in the war, and even led 200,000 Central Army to chase the Red Army for thousands of miles, fighting from Jiangxi to Sichuan, which was truly a battle of many battles.

Okamura has theory, but Xue Yue has experience, so it is not embarrassing to tie with such a powerful opponent.

However, just as Okamura Yasuji was carefully summarizing, preparing to avenge his previous shame and completely win a battle, the base camp issued a transfer order to transfer him back to his country as a senator.

What is the Senate? It is to keep him cold. How can Okamura be willing to accept it?

The orderly man walked in and said respectfully to Okamura Nishiji: "God of General, it's time to set off."

"Wait a little longer." Okamura Youngji waved his hand and said softly, "Fudodosan is coming later. It's not too late to leave after seeing Fudosan."

Although he is no longer the commander of the 1st Army, Okamura Yasumiya still has to stand in the last shift.

When Cao Cao was said, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Okamura Yanji finished speaking, Takae Fujido had already strode into the office, and then suddenly closed his feet and bowed heavily to Okamura Yanji: "Your Excellency Commander."

Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "Fujidosan, I am no longer your commander."

"But in my heart, you will always be the commander." Fujido Takae bowed his head again and said sincerely

Fujido Takaei's respect for Okamura Yanji is from the heart. People who are truly capable can always easily get the recognition of others. In the 1st Army, almost all senior officers respected Kamura Yanji. Only those who have participated in all major battles such as De'an, Nanchang and Changsha know how difficult it is for Okamura Yanji.

In contrast, Okamura's successors Tonobu and Ichiro Moeki are far behind.

Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "Fujito, I actually opposed your combat plan to sweep Longkou Prefecture and wipe out the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui. At present, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is already extremely tense. The New Fourth Army and the Central Army in the Third War Zone may start war at any time. The anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui will also be involved. Therefore, now is not a good time to take action."

Fujido Takae raised his head and looked at Okamura Yanji in surprise. Since he objected, why did he still approve it.

Okamura Yasuji sighed: "This combat plan was not approved by me, but by the Sonobu Sang. The reason why I delayed it until today is to meet you. I want to give you some suggestions, and I hope you will consider it carefully."

"Hayi." Fujido Takayoshi suddenly closed his feet and held his head heavily, "I would like to ask the commander to teach you."

"I have carefully studied the sparrow tactics of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. It must be admitted that this is indeed an effective tactic of using small to make a big difference and using weak to strike the strong. If the Imperial Army does not innovate its tactics and rely solely on conventional tactics, it will definitely not be able to defeat them. Even if a division is dispatched, it will not be possible to succeed."

Takae Fujido was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Okamura Yanji's evaluation of the sparrow war was so high.

"But..." Okamura Nagato changed his tone and continued, "Any tactic in this world is flawed. Although the sparrow tactics are powerful, it is not without a solution."

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji continued: "If you want to crack the sparrow tactics, you have to build a large number of roads, and then rely on trenches, strongholds and artillery towers to strictly block them. After a long time of blockade, the other party will be defeated due to lack of supplies. Regarding this tactic, I named it the cage tactic."

The construction of a large number of roads and the blockade of guerrilla areas by relying on trenches, strongholds and artillery towers has been implemented in central China. It is not a new thing. However, naming this set of measures as cage tactics is a new proposal by Okamura Yasuji, which has elevated the cage tactics to theoretical heights through practical testing.

"Hai." Fujido Takaeju said first, "I must keep in mind the teachings of the commander, strictly follow the cage tactics, and never underestimate the enemy to advance rashly."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji said happily, "If you can strictly follow the cage tactics, then with the absolute advantage of the Imperial Army, it is not difficult to wipe out the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui. Okamura has already said everything I should say, and the rest depends on you. As for me, it is time to leave."

(Split Line)

All battalion commanders and officers of the regiments of the 19th Detachment had arrived in Yanjia Town to attend the emergency meeting.

"This is the situation." Xu Shijiu briefly introduced the information obtained by the Intelligence Department, and then continued, "Although the Japanese's exact intention has not been clearly understood, I am sure that the Japanese came for our 19th Detachment this time. As for how to deal with it, the main policy is consistent, that is, the sparrow war, but how to implement it specifically, each regiment must carefully formulate plans when they go back."

For specific incidents, plans can be formulated, such as fires or floods, but in wars, it is impossible to formulate emergency plans in advance, because you don’t know which direction the enemy comes from or how many people will come. You can only master the enemy’s background first, and then you can formulate specific combat or breakthrough plans in a targeted manner.

"End the meeting, go back and prepare for it." Xu Shijiu waved his hand to announce the meeting.

After coming out of the conference room, Xu Shijiu saw Shu Tongwen walking over in a hurry.

Shu Tongwen had heard the news and knew that the Japanese army in Hukou were about to be dispatched on a large scale and wanted to come to Longkou to sweep the enemy. Qingyang County was adjacent to Longkou County. If the Japanese army swept the enemy in Longkou County, Qingyang County would inevitably be affected. As the political commissar of the Qingyang County Independent Regiment, he had to go back to Yanke quickly and work with Liang Dada to deal with the upcoming crisis.

"Captain, I'm afraid I can't stay anymore, so I have to go back to Yanke immediately." Shu Tongwen said.

"No, Awen, since we are here, we have to stay for a few days. We have never seen each other. Let's go and have a few drinks." Li Zihan walked up from the side, held Shu Tongwen's shoulder intimately, and said.

"Okay, you." Shu Tongwen slapped Li Zihan's hand away, "Why haven't you seen you so intimately?

Li Zihan shrugged, his face full of innocentness, but he pretended to be enthusiastic about trying to keep Shu Tongwen, so he really didn't have any kindness.

The Japanese army in Hukou launched a large-scale move and came to Longkou County to sweep the storm. Qingyang County was the only way to go. If the Japanese army did not allow the Japanese army to destroy the Qingyang County Independent Regiment first. At this time, leaving Shu Tongwen in Longkou can invisibly weaken the power of the Qingyang County Independent Regiment. You must know that although Shu Tongwen was the political commissar of the Qingyang Independent Regiment, he was not from the Ministry of Political Workers. He was a veteran who had experienced many battles.

Xu Shijiu also felt that he should not try to keep Shu Tongwen anymore, so he said, "Awen, that's the matter of collaborative combat...
