Chapter 44 Battle of the Hundred Row

The chess game on the chess has entered the official stage, and the two sides have launched a final battle around the corner.

Haneda, the captain of the military police, searched for the robbery, and said to Takayo Fujido, "God, I can't understand why you have to try so hard to please this part of the Chinese army. Oh yes, it's the so-called militia, why can't they be treated equally with regular army?"

Takae Fujido picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Before you Okamura returned to China, I went to Hankou to pay homage to him. He told me that when you can't defeat your opponent in one go, the best way is to divide and disintegrate. At present, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui retreated to Erlong Mountain, and relying on the mountains and rivers to resist stubbornly. If the Imperial Army blindly attacked, it would be difficult to win. The crushing defeat of Ito's brigade is a lesson."

Haneda said: "God of General, Ito is just a military police force temporarily composed of ronin expatriates, and it is not even a real army. How can it be compared with the independent 14th Brigade? Therefore, the crushing defeat of Ito's brigade cannot explain any problem."

As he spoke, Haneda took a picture of a piece on the chessboard and called it to eat.

Takayo Fujido responded to a son and said, "The crushing defeat of Ito brigade does not mean anything, but Haneda Sang, don't underestimate the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. It's here, Yanjia Town, I have witnessed this army fighting with the Oda brigade. This is an army that must not be underestimated."

Haneda said: "Genius, are you too proud of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui?"

"Please? No, not at all." Takae Fujido said, "It's not that I am determined by others and destroy my own prestige. If the two armies fight in Erlong Mountain, the Imperial Army's firepower advantage will be difficult to exert. However, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has absolute terrain advantages. As a result, it is probably a little bit of danger. Even if I win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory."

Seeing Haneda falling into silence, Takayo Fujido said again: "So, we must first divide the enemy, wait until the enemy's strength is weakened to a certain extent, and then give it a thunder blow to destroy it. The so-called militia is the target that the imperial army must divide first."

"Why is it a militia, not something else?"

"Because militia is the natural reserve force of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, if the militia is not divided and disintegrated first, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui will be continuously replenished with its energy sources. One thousand people have been lost today, and two thousand people will be replenished tomorrow. They are almost invincible.

However, if these militias are divided, it will be another result immediately. Without the continuous supplement of militias, one person will be killed in the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and one person will be missing. In this way, they will fight fewer and weaker the more they fight. In the end, the imperial army will be able to destroy them without any effort.

In addition, the most important point is that differentiating these militias will help us build a powerful Imperial Army. These militias have received some military training, but are not brainwashed like regular troops and are relatively easy to control. Therefore, these militias are the best choice for Imperial Army soldiers."

Haneda said: "In other words, the division and disintegration of these militias can not only weaken the enemy, but also strengthen themselves. I really didn't expect that every move of the general would be so thoughtful."

After saying that, Haneda pushed up and said, "I lost this game of chess."

"Look at Lao Xu, little Japan is so arrogant. They have built the artillery tower in the mountains." Gao Shenxing said.

Xu Shijiu looked in the direction of Gao Shenxing's finger and saw a dirt road four or five meters wide extending from the direction of Lijia Town and winding into Erlong Mountain. At the end of the road, there was a small village called Terracotta, with more than a dozen families living there.

On the edge of the small river at the entrance of the Troubu Village, a cannon tower was rising from the ground.

"The little Japanese are not satisfied with anything good." Shu Tongwen said in a deep voice, "The genus soil is the only way to connect Yanke and Erlong Mountain. If the little Japanese have a firm foothold here, the communication channel between our Qingyang County Independent Regiment and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui will be completely cut off. What else can we talk about in concert?"

Shu Tongwen came here this time to finalize the issue of unified command for coordinated operations.

The coordinated combat between the Qingyang County Independent Regiment and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has been approved by the New Fourth Army Headquarters. Xiang Ying, Secretary of the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China, even transferred another main force of the New Fourth Army to cooperate with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in smashing the 14th Brigade of the Independence.

The leader of the main regiment of the New Fourth Army is also Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing's old acquaintance. He is the former captain of the Wusong Security Team, the Navy Seal. However, this time the Navy Seal was going to the New Fourth Army headquarters for a meeting, so she was unable to come with Shu Tongwen.

Xu Shijiu said: "Awen, I heard that your Communist Eighth Route Army had a large-scale raid in North China, specializing in destroying traffic in Japan, and removing strongholds and artillery towers by the way. How effective is it?"

Shu Tongwen said: "Captain, are you talking about the Hundred Regiments Battle under Commander Peng? The effect is quite good. In the past three months of combat, the roads have been destroyed, the railway has been over 1,000 kilometers, more than 2,900 strongholds have been destroyed, and more than 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops have been eliminated. The situation of the War of Resistance in North China has been renewed."

Xu Shijiu said: "It seems that we have to do a big attack, I don't have a hundred regiments, but it's better to call a hundred regiments than to get a hundred regiments."

"A hundred-row war?" Gao Shenxing said, "Old Xu, are you really here?"

Xu Shijiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Little Japan is building roads, artillery towers and strongholds in Qingyang County, and the trenches are getting longer and longer. We cannot wait for death. We must respond actively and do everything we can to smash the little Japan's attempt."

In fact, there was another reason that prompted Xu Shijiu to make up his mind to fight a big battle, in addition to the little Japanese step by step and gradually extending the highway and trenches into Erlong Mountain, that is, after two full quarters of stalemate, the material supply of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui had begun to be in a hurry.

Haneda, the commander of the military police, spread the engineering drawings on the table, then pointed to the drawings and explained to Takayo Fujido, saying: "Please look, after two quarters of intense construction, supported by Yanjia Town, Lijia Town, and Hewan Town, with highways as a link, and dozens of strongholds, artillery towers, plus thousands of kilometers of trenches, the entire blockade network has been completely formed. At present, the blockade network is advancing step by step towards the Erlong Mountain District. The 59th Battalion of the Independent Infantry has established a bridgehead in a small village called Chitu in Erlong Mountain."

"Yo Xi." Fujido Takayo nodded happily, "Hanida, you did a very good job."

"It all depends on the effective coordination of the General." Haneda said modestly, "However, the Special High School has just received information from the inside line from the New Fourth Army headquarters. The Qingyang County Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army and another regiment are preparing to unite with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and there may be a major combat operation."

Takayoshi Fujido's right hand, wearing white gloves, slowly stroked the engineering drawings, and suddenly said with a smile: "Does the New Fourth Army and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army also want to imitate the Eighth Route Army and give us a large-scale attack?"

Haneda said: "The New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army are all armed by the Communist Party, and this possibility is very high."

The expression on Tengdo Tengdo's face became gloomy and said, "It's a pity that southern Anhui is not North China, and my Tengdo Tengdo is not that idiot Tada Jun. The New Fourth Army and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army of Southern Anhui want to carry out any attacks in southern Anhui. That's a delusion. I will use cruel facts to tell them that in the face of real cage tactics, any struggle is futile."

"Haida." Haneda bowed heavily and said deeply, "Tada Jun, this idiot, seems to have only learned the superficiality of cage warfare. He targeted the people in the guerrilla area, only knows to burn, kill, and loot, but does not know how to divide and disintegrate. Otherwise, the situation in North China would not have been corrupted to this point."

"However, the Eighth Route Army in North China will not be able to reach the end for long." Fujido Takayoi snorted and said, "The base camp has issued a transfer order. Okamura will soon replace Tada Jun as the commander of the North China Front Army. Once Okamura takes office, the situation in North China will definitely reverse in an instant."

"Hai." Haneda said with a heavy blow, "I believe in this."
