352, oh, the Japanese invaders want a decisive battle?
"Your Excellency Commander..."
Miyano carefully reported the news about Okamoto United.
The radio station of the Okamoto Alliance has not responded. It is almost 100% certain that the alliance is broken.
This is very sad news.
Unfortunately, it's not because a team is broken. It's because the location is wrong!
If it is in the far north of Shanxi, or in a messy place such as Huangtu Ridge, you can still find excuses to justify it.
For example, the imperial army is not good at mountain warfare, which is a very good reason.
Last year Abe Kihide died in battle, and Tada Shun reported it like this.
In the end, he was not blamed.
but!
This time it’s right under your nose!
It's by the railway!
It's near Beiping! Between Beiping, Shimen, and Baoding!
This area has always been a fortress area for the Japanese army. It is an area where it is difficult for the guerrillas on Tubal Road to penetrate.
But now!
The tanks and heavy artillery from Tubal Road have already arrived here!
what does that mean?
This means that Tubal Road has stepped on top of the Japanese army!
"What's the current situation of the Kwantung Army?"
"The 16th Division has to wait a while..."
"How long?"
"I didn't say..."
Miyano answered sternly.
Obviously, this is the Kwantung Army's excuse.
The 16th Division is one of the main permanent divisions of the Japanese army and has very strong combat effectiveness.
Not only are there tank regiments, but there are also heavy artillery regiments.
When they first invaded Nanjing, the 16th Division was the main force.
Shun Tada and Seishiro Itagaki finally persuaded the base camp to transfer the 16th Division to North China for reinforcements.
It is not easy to mobilize a standing division.
Shun Tada has high hopes for the 16th Division. He very much hopes that it will be in place as soon as possible.
In addition to the 16th Division, the Japanese army also mobilized several other divisions and some independent mixed brigades. However, everyone knows that only the 16th Division is the main force.
Whether it can crack the hard nut of Tubal Road depends on the 16th Division.
However, the Kwantung Army also knew that the 16th Division was the main force. Therefore, it was dilly-dallying and unwilling to deploy.
The newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, agreed. However, the division commanders and others below had their own ideas.
They still want to take revenge on the Soviets. They want to avenge their failure at Nomenkan.
Although there was pressure from Umezu Yoshijiro from above, the officers below were still unwilling to give up. The 16th Division was also unwilling to enter the border.
It is common to find any excuse and delay for three, five, seven or eight days.
Tada Shun couldn't rush. Even Itagaki Seishiro couldn't rush. Otherwise, it would arouse the resentment of many Kwantung Army.
For various reasons, the Kwantung Army always felt that they were superior to others.
"Order Sonobe and Ichiro to gather their troops first."
"First defeat Tubal Road and then talk."
Tada Shun finally made the decision.
Sonobe Kazuichiro is the commander of the 110th Division. He is also a veteran lieutenant general.
Yokoyama Isamu wanted to take over as the commander of the 11th Army, and Shun Tada certainly would not sit still. Therefore, he also recommended the candidate for the commander of the 11th Army. It was Sonobe Kazuichiro.
Sonobe and Ichiro's qualifications are superior to those of Isamu Yokoyama. By having him serve as the commander of the 11th Army, Isamu Yokoyama's thoughts can be put to rest.
Itagaki Seishiro also recommended Sonobe and Ichiro, but Tojo Hideki did not agree.
The final decision-making power still lies in the hands of Tojo Hideki and Sugiyama Gen. One is the Minister of Army and the other is the Army Chief of Staff.
But the two of them are also at odds with each other.
The Navy's Red Deer and the Army's Red Deer are indeed mortal enemies. The power struggle within the Army is also quite fierce.
"One division may not be enough..."
"Gather all the nearby independent mixed brigades and put them under the command of Sonobe and Ichiro."
"Tie!"
Miyano agreed.
Immediately began to deploy troops and generals.
Gather the troops from Baoding and Tianjin towards Tang County.
Among them, the 114th Division stationed at Tianjin Guard immediately took a train, passed through Peiping, and headed for Baoding. It marched north-south with the 110th Division and surrounded Tubal Road.
As the Japanese army mobilized frequently, our army naturally followed suit.
A large amount of intelligence was summarized in the military region, and then forwarded to Han Bing's radio station through the Northern Bureau, and then to Zhang Chu.
"Hey, the Japanese invaders want a decisive battle?"
Zhang Chu shook his head.
Beautiful thought!
It's not the time yet!
The Japanese invaders want to surround the Eighth Route Army in the Tang County area?
It's a good plan...
The question is, will I be fooled?
Not in a hurry.
Take it easy.
Eat some scallion pancakes first.
The food in the North China Plain is much better than in the mountainous areas.
I used to eat steamed buns with Xinyi Tuan all day long. They were hard and tasteless at all.
But here, in Tang County, scallion pancakes are delicious.
You can even get some meat!
More than a dozen people even pooled their money to buy a sheep and had a meal of mutton soup!
That delicious one...
Oh, how did you get into Tang County?
Called in.
Of course the Japanese invaders would not give up Tang County.
They resisted desperately.
In the end, they were all beaten to death. No one was left.
This time, Zhang Chu used ten cannons to flatten the city walls of Tang County.
All 88 artillery pieces and tank guns were deployed. The artillery fire was fierce...
Most of the more than 400 Japanese bandits stationed in Tang County were wiped out by artillery fire!
The rest is basically cleaning the battlefield.
Then……
Of course, use Bayi Logistics immediately!
We directly purchased 400 tons of flour and sent it to the Bayi cargo yard in Tang County. It was regarded as temporary military ration.
Don't leave in a hurry.
I rested in Tang County and waited for the Japanese invaders to surround me.
Of course, Zhang Chu himself also escaped.
Assign the 88 gun to a dedicated gun crew member so that he will not control it himself.
In addition, the tank was also handed over to Fangyuan. He took a few soldiers to train it. When the training is almost complete, another tank will be added.
Or add a few more.
In short, the more the better.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, warning shots rang out. It was a Japanese plane attacking.
Zhang Chu walked out of the house and saw three Japanese aircraft coming from the northeast. They were all fighter jets.
It seemed that the Japanese invaders were a little out of their depth. They only dispatched three planes.
I thought there would be dozens of them dispatched! After all, there is Beiping Airport.
There seems to be a Shimen Airport nearby?
"Japanese plane!"
"Japanese plane!"
Fang Yingying and others became nervous again.
Hu Xianyi and the others were also a little nervous. They were quite afraid of Japanese aircraft.
Only Zhang Chu was calm.
At the same time, he frowned secretly.
It seems that this bait of mine is becoming more and more tasteless.
With more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces and one tank, they only caught three Japanese aircraft. What a failure. Even if they were all shot down, the value would only be 15 million!
How about finding a way to attack Beiping Airport?
There are definitely more planes at Beiping Airport than at Taiyuan Airport. It’s not a problem to get two to three billion at a time!
So excited...
"Tu tu tu tu!"
"Tu tu tu tu!"
Anti-aircraft machine guns began firing.
I don’t know who it is, but I can’t control it so early.
The Japanese invaders' planes haven't even descended to an altitude of 500 meters, so what's the use of just shooting indiscriminately...
Fortunately, Zhang Chu has a good temper and doesn't curse.
If it had been Li Yunlong, he would have scolded me long ago.
What a waste of bullets...
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
However, 88 soldiers also started shooting. The sound of the guns was deafening and the muzzle flames were astonishing.
Zhang Chu:......
Dizzy!
What happened to the gun crew?
Shooting from such a distance?
Can it hit?
waste……
As a result, a miracle happened.
Suddenly a fireball burst out in the sky. The fire was very bright.
Astonishingly, a Japanese aircraft was hit. Or it was directly hit by the 88-gun. The result can be imagined.
It exploded directly in the air and fell into a ball of fire.
