"Your Excellency Commander's anger" Yukio Kasahara said helplessly: "Now the imperial army has mobilized heavy troops to carry out a law and order rectification operation against the army in southern Hebei and southern Jinnan, just these two battlefields have contained 100,000 troops of the imperial army, and the total strength of our entire North China dispatch army is only more than 200,000, and the remaining troops have to maintain law and order in the vast occupied area, and the strength has been stretched, even the troops in the Beiping region are seriously empty, at this critical moment, the imperial army is simply unable to mobilize enough troops, Encirclement and suppression of the Tuba Road in the Pingnan area. ”Although Yukio Kasawara's words made Sugiyama a little displeased, Sugiyama had to admit that what he said was the truth.Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although the Japanese army has been driving all the way and has occupied large areas of territory in North China, East China, Central China and even South China, with the gradual lengthening of the battle line and the gradual expansion of the area of the occupied area, the shortcomings of the Japanese army's insufficient strength have gradually become apparent.Even though the Japanese army was still expanding, it still could not fully meet the needs of the war.Although the North China Dispatch Army has more than 200,000 troops, it can be said that it is strong and strong, but most of its main forces are contained in the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Henan battlefield.At present, the troops on the front line are still insufficient, and where are there enough troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the Pingnan area.Thinking of these, Sugiyama Yuan sighed helplessly, but the evil breath in his heart was always difficult to vent, which made this old devil extremely uncomfortable.Sugiyama Yuan glanced at Kasahara Yukio with a gloomy face, and said: "Kasahara-kun, then in your opinion, how should this matter be handled" Kasahara Yukio said with a respectful face: "In the opinion of humility, for the imperial army, the most important thing is to fight for the peace and order of southern Hebei and Jinnan.If the imperial army can wipe out all the anti-Japanese forces here, then our North China Dispatch Army will have enough troops to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese forces in other regions.The Pingnan area is close to Beiping, if this Tubalu is allowed to develop and grow, it will inevitably become a big trouble for the imperial army, and then this Tubalu in the Pingnan area will become the primary target of the imperial army, and the Pingnan area is a horse and Pingchuan, there is no danger to defend at all, as long as there are enough troops, it will be easy to eliminate them. ”"Yo Xi, what you said makes sense."
Sugiyama nodded and said.Kasahara Yukio saw that Sugiyama Moto's face finally softened, and then continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, in my humble opinion, we are currently unable to mobilize enough troops to encircle and suppress the Tuba Road in the Pingnan area, we only need to order the imperial army along the Pinghan Railway to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Tuba Road from destroying the transportation line of the imperial army."
I believe that there will be another month at most, and the war in the southern Hebei region and the southern Jinnan region should also end, so what's the harm if we wait another month" Sugiyama Yuan nodded and said: "Yo Xi, since this is the case, then do as you say, the damaged railway line should be repaired as soon as possible to ensure the smooth flow of the imperial army's logistics supply line."
In addition, the defenders along the Pinghan Railway were strictly ordered to strengthen their vigilance and strictly prevent the sneak attack and sabotage of the Chinese people.In short, similar incidents will never be allowed to happen again" Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise, please rest assured that similar incidents will never happen again.The railways destroyed by the Chinese will also be repaired as soon as possible to ensure the logistical supply of the soldiers on the front line. ”Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully."
Yo Xi" Sugiyama nodded and said, "In that case, if there is nothing else, you can go and get busy first" "Hai" Yukio Kasahara responded respectfully, turned around and walked out of Sugiyama Moto's office.In terms of Gaobeidian Station, after dawn, Li Guotao had already evacuated the station with all the people.After covering the safe transfer of the masses, Li Guotao returned to the Shahekou garrison with his troops.Just fought a big victory, the soldiers are excited, even Li Guotao, who has always been more demanding, is quite satisfied with the results of this battle, not only was he able to take Gaobeidian Station, destroy the railway line, but more importantly, by the way, he eliminated more than a thousand little devils, and his own casualties can be said to be minimal, which is the most satisfactory to Li Guotao.After all, the life of every soldier is very precious, although casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, but at the same time of destroying the enemy, it can minimize its own losses, which is what every qualified commander values most.Li Guotao was very satisfied with such a great result in this battle, so he decided to let the troops rest for a few days, for a period of time, all the troops have been fighting repeatedly, constantly uprooting the strongholds of the devil's turret, after such a high-intensity battle, the troops are indeed a little tired, and they really need to take a good rest.Although the little devil suffered a big loss, due to the lack of troops, he could not launch a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in the Pingnan area for the time being, so the troops could also rest and recuperate for a while.Although it is said to be resting and recuperating, the daily training of the troops must not be stopped, and the soldiers do not have the slightest complaint about this, after all, everyone understands the truth of sweating more in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime.On the contrary, because they had just won a great victory, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training became even higher, and all the soldiers worked hard to improve their military qualities as much as possible through training, so that they could make new contributions in future battles.A few days after the troops recuperated in peace, the Eighth Route Army at the mouth of the Shahe River suddenly ushered in an old acquaintance, who was none other than Chang De, the political commissar of the Seventh Independent Brigade.When Changde walked into Li Guotao's headquarters, he happened to see this guy, sitting there leisurely smoking.Chang De deliberately put on a face, and said in a weird manner: "Hey, I said Lao Li, I want to come over, I have already informed you, you kid is too boring, I know that Lao Tzu is coming, I actually sit here and smoke, I don't know how to go out to greet Lao Tzu." ”Li Guotao couldn't help but glance at Chang De, snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, you are not a leader, and you are not a guest, why let Lao Tzu greet you" Chang De strode to Li Guotao's side, sat down, and said with a smile: "What you said is not right, as an old comrade-in-arms, don't you want me if we haven't seen each other for so long" aa2705221:
