Chapter 784 Worthy of being the Kwantung Army (Second update)
After the deputy chief of staff introduced all the situation of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, Okamura Neiji stood up again.
"Everyone knows the enemy situation..."
"Time is running out, so I won't waste any time talking to you and will directly assign combat missions."
As he spoke, he walked to the map hanging on the wall, picked up the baton, and said with a serious face: "The mopping up troops are divided into three groups."
"Launch attacks all the way from the direction of Wangdu County, launch attacks all the way from the direction of Mancheng, and launch assaults all the way from the direction of Shunping."
"The mopping up troops attacking from the direction of Shunping must fight quickly and seize Chenjiazhuang as quickly as possible to block the Eighth Route Army's only retreat to the mountains."
"We will then cooperate with the left and right groups to mop up the troops, and attack all the Eighth Route Army units blocked by us outside the mountain from both inside and outside."
"The middle route mopping up force consists of a main brigade, a baggage and supplementary regiment, an artillery regiment, a chariot brigade, a cavalry brigade, and an engineering brigade, with a total of fifteen thousand people."
"The two mopping up troops on the left and right respectively have one main brigade, one heavy infantry brigade, two field artillery brigades, one heavy artillery brigade, one chariot brigade, one cavalry brigade, and one engineering brigade, with a total of 11,000 people.
"
"All participating troops will replenish their baggage and ammunition tomorrow, carry with them ten days of combat supplies, move to their respective attack positions before dark, and launch the attack on time at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow."
…………
Tens of thousands of Kwantung troops were mobilized to the front line to replenish ammunition supplies. No matter how careful Okamura Ningji was, he could not hide it from the eyes of the Eighth Route Army scouts.
At eight o'clock that night, the Duer Regiment headquarters received the news.
"Lao Li, Xiao Huang, and Okamura Neji's mopping up plan is almost exactly the same as what we judged before... We even skipped the step of adjusting the plan and started the counter mopping up directly according to the original plan." Kong Jie looked happy after reading the information.
road.
Huang Yu read the intelligence at the same time, pointed to Shunping County on the map and analyzed: "There are 15,000 little Japs attacking Shunping."
"They are also equipped with the most heavy weapons. They must be the commandos in the hands of Neji Okamura. He wants them to seize Chenjiazhuang.
"Captain, Commander Li..."
"In this counter-mopping up, let's swallow up these 15,000 Kwantung Army troops first."
Li Yunlong shook his head: "I have no problem."
"As long as I go to the battlefield, I can fight anyone..."
Kong Jie shook his head: "The fifteen thousand Kwantung Army has almost caught up with the little devil's second-class division."
"Since the founding of the Yizhong Base Area, there has never been such a large-scale annihilation war."
"The soldiers are inexperienced and the pressure must be very high."
"To ensure that the normal battle is foolproof, the blocking force must find a way to eliminate a few more Japanese."
"Xiao Huang..."
"In this case, the pressure on you and the 26th Regiment to stop them will be greater."
Huang Yu answered confidently: "Old rivals are extremely jealous when they meet..."
"I heard that the Japs who attacked Junping were all from the second wave of Kwantung Army reinforcements."
"When we were in Baoding, I just didn't fight them enough."
"Now take the initiative to hit our guns."
"This time, no matter what, we have to decide the outcome with them."
"Tell the commander of the little devil division that you want to take revenge and avenge your shame. Can you wait until the next life?"
…………
The Zhang family rushed to the forward position. Before dawn, an inexplicable pressure came from the enemy-occupied area.
"Captain Huang, the little devils are out..." Li Zhi, the commander of the 26th Regiment, suddenly reported, his words were trembling and he was very nervous.
It's not his fault, there are little devils everywhere within his field of vision.
The roaring tanks lined up in a row, puffing out black smoke, and slowly advanced towards the forward position.
Behind the chariots are infantry, and behind the infantry are artillery pulled by cars, including field artillery and heavy artillery with barrels thicker than their heads.
The cold, dark gun barrel reflects the cold light under the sunlight, which is scary to look at.
The entire team of little devils was like a dark cloud, pressing towards us, making people feel breathless.
"Boom boom boom..."
A row of tanks that were advancing rapidly stopped suddenly and fired a row of artillery shells at the front position at the entrance of the village.
Dust was flying and smoke was billowing. The sandbags on the position were like paper toys, blown to pieces in an instant.
Huang Yu frowned at the same time. He originally thought that the Kwantung Army had just arrived and would send troops to test it out.
He would have the opportunity to pull out the tiger's teeth, take the opportunity to eat the Japanese probing troops, and get a good start.
As a result, the Kwantung Army on the opposite side did not follow the routine, and regardless of whether there were people on the forward position, they came up and bombarded them with tanks. It was clear that they were trying to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Immediately give the order: "Let all troops stationed at the forward positions retreat to the tunnel."
"The Japanese were so ruthless. They sent out tanks as soon as they came up and didn't give us any chance."
"The troops can only abandon their superficial positions and use the second set of combat plans. They rely on the tunnels to fight for a while and then retreat. This will make the Japanese think that our tunnels are just that, and they will underestimate the enemy."
"Rumble..."
After firing five rounds of tank artillery shells, the forward position was filled with smoke. The parked tanks suddenly accelerated, spitting out black smoke, like a row of knights armed to the teeth, thrusting straight into the forward position.
Hundreds of Japanese infantrymen followed the tanks, charging and grabbing the forward positions to show their prestige.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Sakuragi, was observing the battlefield with a telescope.
Seeing that the attacking troops were unstoppable, as if they were in a deserted land, their faces were not as good-looking as they had imagined.
Now he even wanted the Eighth Route Army to emerge from the forward position to block the attack.
If he wants to wash away the shame brought by the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong, his opponent must show up and join the battle. Only when both sides fight together can he have a chance.
If the Yizhong Eighth Route Army had been hiding and being a coward, even if they fought all the way to the hinterland of the Yizhong base and successfully captured Chenjiazhuang, they would have no chance of revenge.
At this moment, his idea is destined to be impossible to realize.
The attacking troops were less than fifty meters away from the Eighth Route Army's forward position. Unfortunately, the area was still filled with smoke and not even a single gunshot was fired.
The brigade commander on the side can't control that much.
Seeing that his subordinates successfully captured the Eighth Route Army's forward position without any casualties, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he immediately reported the good news to Lieutenant General Sakuragi.
"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army blocking the road must have been scared away by our tank troops."
"The offensive troops have captured the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army. I suggest that they take advantage of the victory and continue to attack the Chen family's blocking position."
"Strive for two battles and two victories, take down Chen Jiachong's blocking position together, and open up the channel for our offensive base area in the center of the wing."
Lieutenant Colonel Sakuragi could not find a reason to refuse.
They even felt that the faster the attacking force advanced, the less time the Eighth Route Army would have to react. Maybe the Eighth Route Army behind them, which was defending the main position, would not even have a chance to retreat and would have to fight the attacking force desperately, giving them the opportunity to take revenge.
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
