Saburo Yoshida said: "According to the intelligence collected by the Intelligence Section, it is indeed only the Eighth Route Army that attacked the imperial stronghold this time, and neither the Central Army nor the Jinsui Army participated."

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka's face became even more ugly. If there were shadows of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army among them, it wouldn't be a cause for concern. If there were no shadows of them, wouldn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was already quietly in the midst of the attack?

, developed to a size sufficient to threaten the 1st Army.

The old devil said in disbelief: "With more than 300 battalions and more than 100 regiments, the Eighth Route Army has actually developed so many troops?"

Saburo Yoshida paused: "Hey! That's it. However, according to intelligence, the equipment of these Eighth Route Army troops is very crude and they have almost no weapons with heavy firepower for attacking fortresses.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment in their hands are also very different. They include not only the equipment of the Imperial Army, but also the weapons and equipment of the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and even some European weapons, as well as those eliminated during the Northern Expedition, and even firecrackers.

Many of them don't even have guns, and they still have spears and broadswords in their hands."

"So, in general, although the Eighth Route Army has a large number of troops, it does not have a strong combat effectiveness..."

"That's enough!" Yoshio Shinozuka interrupted decisively: "The Eighth Route Army has captured more than 300 strongholds of the Imperial Army, and you are still looking down on the enemy. What qualifications do you have?"

"Being careless and underestimating the enemy will only make our failure more complete!"

"Hey Yi! I know I was wrong in my humble position."

Saburo Yoshida trembled with fright and hurriedly nodded to admit his mistake.

Yoshio Shinozuka returned his gaze to the sand table, staring at the strongholds with small blue flags that were captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the surrounding areas for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Battlefield information interruption? This

It is a new tactical subject proposed in Europe, and even our Imperial Japanese Army has not yet included it in our study, but the Eighth Route Army has already learned it, which really surprises me."

Kazuki Yamamoto studied abroad at the Munich Military Academy in Germany and learned many advanced European tactical topics.

Among them, special emphasis is placed on special operations, and battlefield information interception is a subject in special operations.

Therefore, Yamamoto Kazuki is relatively knowledgeable about battlefield information interception, and even Shinozuka Yoshio learned about this tactical subject from him.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is probably just a coincidence."

"The tactics of the Eighth Route Army are extremely backward. They only know guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare. They don't even understand the essence of frontal position warfare. How can they understand the advanced tactical subject of battlefield information interception, which was just proposed? So this must be a coincidence."

"It's just that their military strength exceeded the expectations of the imperial army, so that their people were on both sides of the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Pinghan Railway."

"That's why the reconnaissance teams dispatched by the imperial army from various strongholds along the route were ambushed and encountered them without exception."

After a pause, Yamamoto Kazuki changed the topic and said in a very firm tone: "So, I dare to assert that this was definitely not intentional by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army definitely had no awareness of intercepting battlefield information along these three railways!"

On this point, Yamamoto Kazuki was right. Neither the chiefs at the Eighth Route Army headquarters nor Wang Chengzhu knew about the combat issue of battlefield information interception.

Of course, it cannot be said that he does not understand. At least as a modern time traveler and familiar with history, Wang Chengzhu understands something.

To put it simply, it is information warfare. Whoever controls the information controls the initiative on the battlefield.

Take two very famous battles during World War II as examples.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a great success because it caught the U.S. military off guard, and then almost took control of the entire Pacific.

However, in the subsequent sneak attack on Midway Island, because the U.S. military intercepted and deciphered the Japanese telegram in advance, and then took precautions in advance, it caught the Japanese army by surprise, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army, and then regained the initiative in the Pacific.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu may not know the term "battlefield information interception", but he definitely knows this combat subject.

After hearing Yamamoto Kazuki's analysis, Yoshio Shinozuka, instead of being happy, waved his hands with a gloomy look on his face: "What you said is no longer important. Because no matter whether the Eighth Route Army has the awareness to implement battlefield information interception, the fact is

They have already achieved this effect."

"So far, we don't know the numbers of the participating units of the Eighth Route Army, the specific strength of the Eighth Route Army, or its next combat intentions."

"The so-called strength of more than 300 battalions and more than 100 regiments is just our guess."

"Although the imperial army occupies air superiority, aerial reconnaissance can only be carried out during the day, and the effect is extremely limited."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio's face became increasingly ugly and he said: "The most helpless thing is that until now we still don't know the strategic intentions of the Eighth Route Army. Do they just want to remove the peripheral strongholds, or do they have a greater ambition!"

"If so, what are their goals?"

"Only by clarifying these, can we judge where the main force of the Eighth Route Army will appear, and then independently mix it into the 1st Brigade, 9th Brigade, independent 4th Brigade and the mobile force of the 27th Division, and independently mix into the 2nd Brigade

Brigade, the main force of the independent mixed 8th Brigade can launch a targeted attack and give the main force of the Eighth Route Army a fatal blow!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Miyano Jun, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, maybe it is not certain that the Eighth Route Army does not have other greater ambitions and goals."

"After all, China Tubal Road has always only dared to ambush the supply troops harassing the Imperial Army, or to sneak attack a few small strongholds, and never dared to confront the Imperial Army head-on."

"This time it's just a sneak attack on more small strongholds. As long as we want, we can recapture these small strongholds at any time, or re-establish some."

Yoshio Shinozuka sighed: "It is not difficult for us to recapture these small strongholds. Even after the Eighth Route Army captured these strongholds, they only destroyed them but did not occupy them.

During the day, the aviation force provides tactical guidance, and we can recapture these lost strongholds as long as we send out some small teams at will."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly changed the subject and asked: "But what happens next?"

"this……"

Miyano Jun was immediately asked.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked himself and answered: "At night, those Shina Tobali will definitely come to attack again like hungry wolves smelling the smell of blood."

"Even if we knew it, we don't have any way to deal with it right now."

"Other than losing another part of the imperial army, there is nothing we can do."

"China Tubal Road even wants us to do this..."
