852 See Through
"Commander, what's wrong?"
Luo Zhuoying was a little confused when he saw Ye Qingshan frowning.
Ye Qingshan looked out the window and said in a low voice: "It feels a little strange. My intuition tells me that something is wrong with the Japanese."
The truth is, Ye Qingshan has fought with the Japanese too many times.
Fighting both domestically and abroad has made his intuition about fighting the Japanese very sharp.
"Notify the Air Force Group and have them dispatch all reconnaissance aircraft.
Conduct reconnaissance deep into the heart of Siam."
Immediately, Ye Qingshan gave the order.
"Yes."
The young martial artist next to him responded after hearing this.
"Commander, do you think that the Japanese Imperial Guards Division and the Fifth Division in the mountains across from us are retreating?
This is impossible. "
Luo Zhuoying heard that Ye Qingshan asked the Air Force Flying Brigade to strengthen reconnaissance of the heartland of Siam.
I immediately understood what Ye Qingshan was worried about.
Ye Qingshan did not hide it from Luo Zhuoying and continued, "I do have this concern.
Now, Lu Dahai, commanding his New 1st Division, has reached the vicinity of the Siamese capital.
In the past few days, they have been wreaking havoc in the Japanese rear areas.
Almost half of the Japanese's transportation and supply were cut off.
Under such circumstances, the old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki should have understood that it was impossible to hold their defense line in the western mountainous area of Siam.
You said, in this case.
The old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki would be willing to watch the two most elite main divisions of his 25th Army.
Will they be eaten alive by us in this western mountainous area?
Doesn't he want to fight to keep these two main divisions?"
"this……
The commander has a point.
If it were me, I would not just watch my two most elite main forces die slowly like this.
In this situation, there is a high probability that the Japanese will take a risky move."
Luo Zhuoying's eyes lit up as he spoke: "Commander, attacking from our front line is smoother than before.
This seems to confirm this.
Did the Japanese really transfer their main division from the mountainous area here?
Which division is it?
The Imperial Guards Division, or the Fifth Division?"
Seeing that Luo Zhuoying also agreed with his speculation, Ye Qingshan laughed and said, "I don't know about that.
Waiting for the news from our reconnaissance aircraft may bring us the answer."
“Commander, do you want to notify Commander Lu now?
What if the Japanese really transfer a main division back from the mountainous area?
Then the New First Division will be in danger."
Luo Zhuoying was a little anxious.
Ye Qingshan remained calm: "It's okay, there should be enough time.
Even if the Japanese transferred troops back from the mountain defense line, they would not be able to return to the vicinity of the Siamese capital within a week.
Wait until the flight squadron confirms our guess.
Then tell Lu Dahai the exact news."
"Yes, Commander."
One day later, Ye Qingshan received a call from Meng Jifei, the captain of the flight squadron.
"Meng Jifei, report the specific reconnaissance situation."
“Commander, our reconnaissance aircraft has been confirmed since yesterday afternoon.
We found traces of the Japanese army on the road about fifty kilometers to the west.
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan continued to ask: "Didn't you see the devil's marching troops with your own eyes?"
"This does not."
"okay, I get it."
Ye Qingshan hung up the phone, then picked it up again and called Zhou Pingkou, the commander who was in charge of the specific offensive operations on the front line, to inquire about the situation.
And told him his guess.
"Commander, I was just about to report to you.
We also discovered this situation.
Since the start of our general offensive, the Japanese defense has become much weaker than it was half a month ago.
The Japs must have really withdrawn a team."
After Ye Qingshan hung up the phone, he knew that his guess was almost correct.
Although, the reconnaissance pilots sent by Meng Jifei did not see the Japanese marching troops with their own eyes.
But considering all the information, it is not difficult to draw this conclusion.
"What a Yamashita Tomoyuki! This old devil is actually playing a trick on me by pretending to build a plank road and secretly attacking Chencang."
Ye Qingshan sneered.
Why didn't their reconnaissance pilots see the Japanese marching troops?
This is very simple. The retreating Japanese must have adopted the strategy of hiding during the day and moving at night.
"Commander, calculate the time.
The Japanese troops withdrew before we launched this general offensive.
It's been almost a week.
Even if they traveled at night and hid during the day, they should have already covered most of the distance back to the capital of Siam.
We must quickly alert the New 1st Division and tell them to be careful."
Luo Zhuoying reminded anxiously.
“Well, notify the New First Division immediately.
Tell them this information.
Their division has successfully completed its early combat missions.
Next, their division’s mission was to gain a foothold in Siam.
It's like a nail stuck in my body, nailed there.
After our main force breaks through the Japanese mountain defense line, we will immediately send the armored division to join them.
If at that time, the remnants of the Japanese 25th Army want to escape.
Let them hold me captive."
When Luo Zhuoying went to Lu Dahai's New 1st Division to convey the new order issued by Ye Qingshan.
Ye Qingshan called the frontline commander and shouted to Zhou Pingkou, "Old Zhou.
I'll give you three days to make sure you can tear a hole in the Japanese's defense line.
It doesn't need to be big, just enough for an armored division to pass through."
