Chapter 475 The Art of War
"Insert from here..."
"This……"
"This……"
"It should be... the possibility is not very high, right?"
"There's a river in the middle."
"There is a bridge in the middle of the river."
"But the bridge is not very wide."
"Once all the Japanese have crossed the river... or half of them have crossed, we will suddenly launch an attack."
"This devil... doesn't have much ability to fight back."
"This is a major taboo in military strategy."
"If this devil commander has any common sense, I'm afraid he wouldn't make such a choice."
"Too risky."
Chang Naichao shook his head.
He thought it unlikely.
"Nai Chao."
"Maybe the devils aren't stupid."
"But according to our insider report."
"The commander of the 9th Imperial Army, Chika Matsui... has always been aloof and arrogant. Although he graduated from a legitimate military academy and is also a three-star general of the Japanese."
“But it has been kept hidden.”
"This time, he finally found an opportunity to lead the troops outside. Naturally, he would not give up this excellent opportunity."
"This can be seen from his unwillingness to share the credit with the devils in the 1st Army."
"So, I'm sure it doesn't want to get too entangled with the devils of the 1st Army!"
"Therefore, they will not pass through the urban area of Ping'an County to receive logistical support and some troop reinforcements from the 1st Army."
"And if you go from Mingqian Lake, you can save three to five hours."
“So many convenient conditions are already here.”
"Nai Chao."
"What do you think...Matsui Chiga will choose?"
"As for the danger in Qianhu Lake, I'm afraid that's even more beyond the consideration of Matsui Chiga."
"He couldn't have imagined we would take the initiative and attack."
"so."
“This happens to be our opportunity.”
"Get a grip."
"This battle is a sure win."
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes silently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his thoughts quickly diverged.
"The commander wants to intercept the Japanese at Mingqian Lake?"
"commander."
"All this is based on the premise that everything goes smoothly."
"If...if the Japs don't play according to the rules..."
Ding Wei, commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, couldn't help but speak at this moment.
"Old Ding."
"I understand what you mean."
"It's all based on speculation."
"We don't have the ability to predict the future, and we are certainly not the worms in the devil's stomach."
"so……"
"What on earth are these damned devils thinking? For now, we can only guess."
"But as long as you are more than 50% sure."
"Just take a gamble."
"from now on."
"Old Li."
"Send out all the reconnaissance troops of your brigade."
"Divide into groups in an orderly manner and investigate the whereabouts of these devils."
"But the scale of our simultaneous deployment shouldn't be too large. We just need to roughly understand the enemy's movement routes."
"Let's assume for now that the Japs will pass through Mingqian Lake."
“And then extrapolate from that.”
“That’s probably the route!”
"This will make investigation easier."
"Old Li."
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Li Xu arranged.
"Don't worry, Lao Lin."
"Old Li... does have this ability."
Li Yunlong nodded and said solemnly.
At this moment, he also knew that the situation had reached its most critical moment.
So I dare not slack off at all at this moment.
The entire New 1st Brigade.
We are all in the midst of the dark cloud of war.
As for when the sky will clear up, it depends on when we can kill all these devils.
……
The Japanese 9th Imperial Army is on the march.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"The soldiers are very tired now."
"Fortunately, we will soon enter Ping'an County."
"Then we can take a short break around Ping'an County."
"After a short rest, we will follow your instructions and head straight for Longyuan Mountain."
"Then I'll definitely be able to win in one battle!"
"I would like to congratulate the Commander in advance on his great victory!"
The Japanese 9th Imperial Army Chief of Staff Shunsuke Ishiki boasted.
"Ishiki-kun."
"This way is obviously closer."
"Why did you choose to pass through the urban area of Ping'an County?"
The Japanese commander, Matsui Chika, suddenly said, his face full of confusion.
"what?"
"This……"
"Commander, according to common sense, we should pass through the urban area of Ping'an County."
"This way we can also supply logistics..."
"Ping'an County is still under the control of the Empire."
Said the Japanese Chief of Staff Ishiki Shunsuke.
Your thoughts cannot be chaotic.
"Take this route."
"Go straight in."
“Doesn’t that save a lot of time?”
"Ishiki-kun."
"I don't know."
"time is life!"
"Reaching Longyuan Mountain and launching an attack as soon as possible will also catch the enemy off guard..."
"This……"
"It will be a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack!"
The Japanese commander, Chika Matsui, stared at the battle map.
Then a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
"what?"
"This way?"
"This……"
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"We came here on a forced march."
"The forced march has lasted more than a week."
"The soldiers are too tired."
"Originally, they thought they could get a brief rest after arriving in Ping'an County..."
"If we cut off even this expectation of theirs now, the soldiers will probably be very disappointed."
"This will have a huge impact on morale."
"Your Excellency, Commander."
The Japanese Chief of Staff Ishiki Shunsuke continued.
Facts speak louder than words...
It's useless nonsense.
I'm almost exhausted...
For the high-ranking officers of the devil, they are indeed not tired.
Because there is a car to ride, or at worst, you can ride a horse.
But those ordinary Japanese soldiers suffered a lot.
Although these devils were all in good physical condition, they were exhausted after marching for seven or eight days straight.
No more rest.
It's just like this.
Sooner or later he will be dragged to death.
"Relax?"
"Ishiki-kun."
"The best rest is victory!"
"Imperial Warriors..."
"Eternal life continues!"
"If only we could have another glorious victory right now!"
"The morale of the 9th Imperial Army will be boosted to its peak!"
"victory!"
"It comes from a quick decision!"
"From this route..."
"Go straight in..."
"It would save at least several hours of marching time."
"In this case..."
"Longyuan Mountain's deployment and preparations will certainly appear to be extremely hasty."
"That's when."
"It only takes a tiny charge to completely break their will."
"By the time."
"victory."
"It will only belong to our 9th Imperial Army!"
"Ishiki-kun."
"As the Art of War says."
“Unexpected!”
"Invincible!"
"Although the combat effectiveness of the Xia Kingdom's armies is very poor...very weak."
“But I have to admit it.”
"Once upon a time..."
"Their military tactics are very interesting."
