Okamura Yasuji, who received the information, did think so.

He did not think that this hand-dropped gasoline bomb was a big deal. His greater focus was Wang Xuexin himself.

"Honggou Mountain!" Okamura Yanji looked at the location on the map and said thoughtfully: "Wang Xuexin has returned to Honggou Mountain, which means he is with Li Yunlong!"

"Great General!" Shinozuka Yoshio saw that Okamura Nagaji had an idea, so he asked, "Send Yamamoto Ichiki to remove them?"

No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka thought this way.

At this time, the imperial army had several small-scale attacks against the Eighth Route Army in other directions, and Yoshio Shinozuka knew the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army generally adopted the strategy of "if you can beat it, you can run away if you can't beat it."

The retreat of Honggou Mountain is considered to be a small amount of 30 or 40 kilometers. (Note: Luliang Mountain is 400 kilometers long in the north and south)

In principle, the Imperial army can continue to move forward.

The problem is that most of the hinterlands of the Eighth Route Army are mountainous areas, and guerrillas on both sides of the highway are very frequent, so the deeper the imperial army goes, the more difficult it is for logistics supply.

However, the Eighth Route Army could concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate the Imperial Army in the mountains.

This flexible style of play once made Okamura Yanji dare not act rashly.

At this time, if Okamura Yasuji wanted to defeat Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong...

According to Yoshio Shinozuka's idea, it is impossible to use regular troops.

Because the regular troops pushed forward, Li Yunlong's independent regiment retreated after a while. He fought and retreated again and again, but he could not catch them.

Therefore, the best way is to send a special agent brigade or a mainland advancing team to carry out sneak attacks.

But Okamura Yasuji shook his head.

"Shinozuka-kun!" Okamura Yamamura said: "Wang Xuexin has defeated Yamamoto Ichiki several times. Do you still have confidence in the special agent team?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was ashamed.

If Yamamoto's agents failed only once or twice, it could be said to be a coincidence, but now it is the third time that he has lost to Wang Xue's newcomer.

Moreover, Yamamoto's agent brigade was beaten to death every time and had to reorganize, which also made the strength of the agent brigade worse than once.

Yoshio Shinozuka really doesn't have much confidence in the special agent team.

"But Your Excellency General!" Shinozuka Yoshio: "If you don't use the special agent team, how can you deal with Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong?"

Okamura Yasuji thought about it, then pointed to the map and said, "Highway, Shinozuka, the road is our blockade! We must use the road to separate the Honggou Mountain from the Eighth Route Army's defense line!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned when he looked at the area Okamura Youngji drew on the map.

It was a roughly rectangular area, more than thirty kilometers long and more than twenty miles wide.

Yoshio Shinozuka understands what Okamura Yasuji means.

The Imperial Army is better at advancing along roads, because as long as there is a highway, it means that logistics is relatively easy, and tanks, artillery and even aircraft are useful.

If you leave the highway and go deep into the mountainous areas, the logistics will basically be able to rely on manpower and mules and horses to transport it. Tanks cannot be fired or heavy artillery cannot be carried. There are also bullets, shell volumes, etc., and the terrain is not familiar and timely information cannot be obtained, so it is difficult to form an advantage for the Eighth Route Army.

The problem is that moving along the highway means occupying the highlands on both sides of the highway and needing to clear the guerrillas around the highlands to prevent sneak attacks.

Therefore, the area that Okamura Yasuji cut out, which is more than 30 kilometers long and twenty kilometers wide, needs to have at least one division with tens of thousands of troops.

If it was targeting the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Shinozuka was not surprised at all.

But this is against an independent group.

Use an imperial army of a division to deal with an independent regiment!

To be precise, Okamura Yanji has only two targets: one is Wang Xuexin and the other is Li Yunlong.

To be more precise, Okamura Yanji's goal is actually just one person: Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong are just by the way.

Is this a bit too exaggerated?

Use the forces of a division to formulate a plan of encirclement separately in order to surround a person!

However, Shinozuka Yoshio thought about it and felt that Okamura Yanji was correct.

This person is not an ordinary person, he is a person who has both tactics and strategies and can develop equipment.

If this person were not available, the Eighth Route Army at this time might have been blocked by the Imperial Army and had no power to fight back.

But now, the Eighth Route Army is still in a trend of rising and going up.

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't understand how the Eighth Route Army did this!

If this person can be removed from the Eighth Route Army, it will indeed be of great benefit to the Imperial Army.

At this moment, a staff officer stepped forward and reported: "Genius General, our army defeated a team of Eighth Route Army in Xiaobeizhuang and found that they were carrying a large number of brand new 'Central Reserve Coupons'!"

Okamura Yanji was stunned, looked at the staff officer in disbelief and said, "Counterfeit currency? The Eighth Route Army actually has the ability to produce counterfeit currency?"

The Eighth Route Army has used the fake "China Reserve Coupons" to purchase materials from the enemy-occupied areas for some time. It was not until this time that Okamura Yasuji discovered that the "China Reserve Coupons" used by the Eighth Route Army to purchase materials were actually real coins, and even the Japanese banknote printing experts could not distinguish between the authentic and false real coins.

Yoshio Shinozuka could not believe it either.

He had personally seen the Eighth Route Army's prints, which were very rough ink and handwritten products, which showed that their printing technology and equipment were extremely backward.

Make counterfeit money based on this?

But now a large number of "Central Reserve Coupons" have been seized from the Eighth Route Army. What can it be if it is not a counterfeit banknote?

Soon, when these counterfeit banknotes were delivered to Taiyuan, Okamura and Shinozuka were even more surprised... These counterfeit banknotes were exactly the same as the "Central Reserve Coupon" and could not find any flaws.

"Eighth Route Army, how did they do it?" Okamura Yanji looked at these "China Reserve Coupons" and sighed: "No wonder our blockade and economic offensive against the Eighth Route Army did not work!"

After the development of the Rong War, the Japanese did not have much effect on the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

Before, the Eighth Route Army was still using fiat currency, and the Japanese used fiat currency to plunder the base area, and the Eighth Route Army did suffer losses.

But now the Eighth Route Army has banned the fiat currency and switched to border currency.

The Japanese can also forge border currency, and it is even easier to forge it than fiat currency.

The problem is that the paper quality of border areas is poor and simple to make, and soon the circulation is changed from new coins to old coins.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army began to launch a new version.

So the method of distinguishing whether it is real or fake coins is very simple... If the old version is still brand new, then it is probably fake coins.

The Eighth Route Army can play like this, but the Japanese cannot play like this.

Because each version of the "China Reserve Coupon" is carefully produced and it is difficult to change the version at will like the Eighth Route Army.

The end result was that the Japanese, who had advanced printing technology and equipment, could not defeat the Eighth Route Army in financial warfare.
