"What strategy, so powerful?" the chief of staff continued to ask, with an expression of expectation on his face.

A mysterious smile flashed across Okamura's lips: "If the senior commander of the Eighth Route Army died in southwest Shanxi and at the hands of the Jinsui Army, what kind of situation would you think the whole North China would be like!"

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely be in chaos!" The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and replied.

"There are also the Jinsui Army, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely send troops to retaliate against them. Once the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army fight in North China, in the words of the Chinese, we can reap the benefits and become the final winner!"

"But, this can only be considered as killing two birds with one stone?"

"Now the Eighth Route Army in North China is already considered to be headless, right?" Okamura Nishi asked with a smile on his face.

"Hi!" The Chief of Staff replied in confusion.

Okamura Yasuji continued: "If we take the opportunity to send troops into their base, do you think the Eighth Route Army, which has no leader, can withstand our attack?"

"Definitely not possible!" The Chief of Staff replied with an excited look on his face.

"The Eighth Route Army that was attacked by us will definitely be in chaos. The Imperial Army that entered their base will definitely be able to compete with each other and severely damage them!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the excitement on the Chief of Staff's face disappeared and he became worried.

"However, Commander, after the last comprehensive sweep of the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army was seriously injured and had not recovered yet!"

"Now many troops have not yet recovered their troops, and the supplies are even short of them. I am worried that something will happen if I launch a rash attack?"

Okamura Yasuji shook his head and replied: "I don't plan to launch a full-scale attack!"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately formulate a combat plan and draw a brigade to a division of troops, and launch key attacks on the Taihang Base of the Eighth Route Army, Shandong Base, Northwest Shanxi Base, Shanxi Chaji Base, Hebei Base, and Central Hebei Base, etc.!"

"The attacking troops do not require many of their bases to occupy, but should take advantage of their leaderlessness to disrupt them and consume a lot of their troops!"

"Hi……"

In an independent courtyard at the New First Regiment Command, the Commander-in-Chief, and Commander Chen lived here as a branch command center of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as dawn, Commander Chen, who was the interim chief of staff, rushed in with a telegram.

"The two bosses, Taihang Military Region Command, urgently sent a telegram, the Japanese army assembled a division and launched an assault on the base area in two groups~"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications officer rushed in: "Chief, the Hebei Central Military Region urgently sent a telegram. They were attacked by a Japanese brigade!"

"The Shandong Military Region was also attacked by a Japanese brigade!"

"The base in northwest Shanxi was attacked by a Japanese brigade..."

"Our judgment a few days ago was correct. As expected, the old Japanese devil, Okamura, did not miss this opportunity. He took advantage of the fact that the group of dragons in our base areas had no heads to launch an attack!"

"Call back to each base area and ask them to report the anti-encirclement and suppression operation plan quickly!"

"Also, notify Commander Liu, Comrade Wang Ping, and Comrade Cheng Xiao, come here immediately, the faster the better!"

When Wang Ping hurried to Cheng Xiao, the map representing several base areas had been laid on the table, and the direction of the Japanese attack was also marked on the map.

"Hello, Chief..."

The commander-in-chief standing in front of the map waved his hand and ordered: "You don't need to be polite!"
