Chapter 772 Okamura finally got good news.
The encirclement has now been formed, except that Qin Haichuan, who is near Wei County, is still keeping his troops in place. But he is scary!
After all, Song Wenwan said that Qin Haichuan had more than 50,000 troops in Weixian and Yehuling areas, and they were eyeing them covetously.
Lu Changfeng had more than 100,000 troops in eastern Hebei, and with the addition of the 100,000-strong anti-Japanese armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, Okamura was in a state of panic.
Okamura laughed at himself and said, "My adjutant, is this what you call bad news?
Don't worry, you can't irritate me yet, tell me if you have any good news!"
What that means is that this kind of news is already commonplace to me, and you can continue.
Adjutant of the Staff: "According to the news from the front line in central Hebei, our troops are moving quite smoothly.
The Eighth Route Army's armed forces could not stop us at all and could only harass us from the side.
However, because our two divisions moved too quickly, they seemed to be somewhat out of touch with the security forces."
Okamura also perked up now, and asked, "Are you saying that our two divisions have already been successfully transferred?
Those idiots from the Security Forces didn't catch up. Send them a telegram to ask them to speed up, or they will be beheaded."
After finishing speaking, Okamura, accompanied by his staff, returned to his headquarters in high spirits.
When he arrived at the headquarters, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the operations room was already filled with cheers.
The adjutant didn't know what was going on, so at Commander Okamura's suggestion, he went in and asked them what they were so happy about.
"Bakayaro, what are you doing? Are you trying to show your loyalty to the Emperor of Japan by playing around?"
The officers who were laughing in the headquarters suddenly became quiet.
A combat staff officer came over and said, "Mr. Adjutant, I wonder how Mr. Okamura is doing.
We just got some good news here and wanted to tell him."
The adjutant asked, "Mr. Okamura is in good health now. Do you have any good news? Can you tell me?"
The officer said: “The thing is, our two divisions lying in ambush in Tang County are in the process of moving in.
Just at two o'clock in the afternoon, we encountered an ambush by the Seventh Guerrilla Division in the area of Kaoshan Town, Gaoyang County.
As a result, they found that the resistance of the troops belonging to the 7th Guerrilla Division was very weak.
They only dared to carry out harassing blocking operations on both sides of the road.
The two divisions only lost less than a battalion of soldiers.
They broke through the defense line of the Baoding garrison and have now escaped safely.
It's just that the security forces behind them were too slow to keep up with their speed and were left outside Tang County."
Okamura heard everything at the door and his face turned red again.
Because when he heard the good news, he was really a little overwhelmed!
Hearing that the two divisions were safe, Okamura walked into the operations room of the headquarters at his 2.58 million pace.
"Mr. Okamura!"
Okamura waved his hand and asked the officers who saluted him to step back first.
He walked to the sand table, took a closer look, and then began asking questions.
"Tell me, what does the guerrilla division mean by this? Is it due to their strength, or did they do it on purpose?"
A staff officer said: “I think there are two possibilities. One is their strength, which is like this.
Their troops could not stop the attack of one of our divisions.
However, this speculation seems to me unlikely to hold true.
Judging from the previous battles of the 7th Guerrilla Division, there is no way they would be afraid of the attack from our entire division.
The reason why they couldn't come was either that their main force arrived too late.
The troops that arrived in Gaoyang County at that time should have been just their vanguard.
And they were so cruel to the security forces, probably because the security forces were too weak.
And their main force just happened to arrive, so they were able to surround the security forces directly."
Okamura nodded and crossed his hands.
"Or maybe they had passed each other before, so there was no big fight."
The Japanese officers in the operations room were all nodding. They also very much agreed with the analysis of that officer and Commander Okamura.
Okamura: "I remember you just said that there is another possibility for the guerrilla division."
The officer paused noticeably, then leaned close to Okamura's ear and spoke in a voice that both of them could hear.
"Or maybe they, for some unknown reason, deliberately let those two divisions pass."
Okamura was silent. Why would the guerrilla division deliberately let their own troops pass?
Okamura was silent. Could it be that Song Wenwan was trying to keep a thief for his own benefit?
Does he think of himself as a thief? Song Wenwan is going to kill someone and destroy his heart!
Song Wenwan: Are you sick? You still say that you should respect yourself by keeping a thief!
If we weren't afraid of hitting you hard, you wouldn't be willing to send troops to Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
I had killed those two divisions of the Japanese long ago, how could I have let them retreat back to Baoding Prefecture?
You old devil Okamura, go home and dream your dreams!
No one knows what the staff officer said to Commander Okamura.
Okamura lay on the sand table and studied it for a long time, and finally had to admit that his two divisions were indeed let go by Qin Haichuan.
As for the reason why Qin Haichuan released the water, he only understood it in the second year.
It was then that he discovered that the victims who fled famine from Henan to the northwest lived very comfortably.
They brought their families with them, but they did not bring down the guerrilla division and the economy of northern Shaanxi.
Instead, it added a million soldiers to the red forces in northern Shaanxi out of thin air.
At that time, when he wanted to increase the efforts to suppress the Eighth Route Army, he found that he had no soldiers left.
The aftermath of the "May 1st mopping-up campaign" initiated by Gannan is expanding its impact.
As a result, the Japanese troops in Hebei were immediately stretched thin.
Since the guerrilla division came out, only two columns were wearing military uniforms, and the others were mostly dressed in militia uniforms.
Whenever the Japanese thought they could make a profit.
They will find that the opposing troops are well armed and well equipped.
At the beginning, they used the Type 38 rifle to fire a few shots, but the Japanese must not chase them to the point of madness.
Otherwise, rocket launchers and squad machine guns will be displayed to you immediately.
The only thing missing is writing the words "I am the main force" on his face.
The Japanese were also single, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately stopped and retreated.
At the same time, they sent their own translator, who came with a white flag and gifts, and even claimed that it was all a misunderstanding.
The guerrilla division members were also puzzled when they saw this and accepted the bullets and grenades as gifts.
"I say, translator, are those real devils on the other side? They are too cowardly, aren't they?"
The interpreter smoked the "Gan" brand filter-tipped cigarettes awarded to him by the guerrillas while answering the guerrillas' questions.
"This war has been going on for five years, and the Japanese troops are exhausted.
Back then, many of the Japs' elite veterans were killed by our army.
Many of the devils in the stronghold now are Japanese ronin who hang around in big cities.
They were short of soldiers, so they recruited them from the cities into the army.
The squadron leader in our base is exactly this kind of person.
For example, if other Japanese soldiers wanted to be promoted, they would rely on their military merits.
He was promoted to squadron leader because he lived longer than others."
