Kasahara Yukio walked into the war room again and said to Anami Yuki: "Your Excellency, Commander, you should go back and have a rest first. As soon as any news comes back from Bauhinia Pass, I will report it to you immediately."
Anan Weiji shook his head stubbornly and stood by the map without moving.
Anan Weiji is actually very sleepy. After all, he is over fifty years old. In terms of energy and physical strength, it is impossible to compare with a young man in his twenties. However, no matter how sleepy or tired he is, Anan Weiji will never dare to go at this moment.
Rest, the battle at Zijingguan has reached its most critical moment, how can he sleep?
On the other side, Kanemitsu Keijiro was leading a dozen combat staff officers to conduct intense war games.
More than half an hour later, Kanemitsu Keijiro finally put down the square ruler and turned his attention to Anami Yuki.
Anan Weiji immediately perked up when he saw this, and asked expectantly: "Jin Guangjun, what's the result?"
"Hai!" Kanemitsu Keijiro paused and said in a deep voice, "According to the war chess deduction, as long as the Yuanyi Brigade and the Nanyun Brigade can persist until noon, then even if they cannot recapture Bauhinia Pass, there is a great chance to capture the Chaos
The main force of the Ha'er Independent Regiment is blocked in the mountainous area west of Yixian County, because the 27th Division and the 35th Division will be able to reach Yixian County by noon today at the latest."
Anan Weiji frowned and said: "Can the 27th Division and the 35th Division really stop the Chahar Independent Regiment?"
To be honest, Anan Weiji was really scared of the Chahar Independent Regiment, because the Chahar Independent Regiment pushed all the way from Suiyuan, and it was simply overwhelming and invincible!
Although the 26th Division of the Anda 23rd was stationed in Datong, it only blocked the Chahar Independent Regiment for a few hours. The combat effectiveness of the 27th Division and the 35th Division was not necessarily as good as that of the 26th Division.
No matter how strong the divisions are, who can guarantee that these two divisions will be able to block the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment?
After a pause, Anan Weiji continued: "Jin Guangjun, you should also know that the 26th Division is in Datong, but it only blocked the Chahar Independent Regiment for a few hours. Without the Zijin Pass natural barrier as a barrier, the 26th Division was in Datong.
Can the Seventh Division and the Thirty-fifth Division really block the Chahar Independent Regiment in the mountainous area of Yixian County?"
"Hai, the hope is still very high." Kaneko Keijiro said after a serious pause, "Your Excellency, Commander, the reason why Datong fell so quickly was not because the 26th Division did not fight, let alone Chahar.
The independent regiment's attack power was so powerful that it was beyond imagination, but it was because the 26th Division was caught off guard."
"Soga." Kasahara Yukio nodded, "That's true. If the 26th Division could prepare in advance and gather the troops scattered in surrounding counties and various strongholds in advance, they would never be defeated so quickly. Datong
This important town in northern Shanxi will never fall so quickly. In that case, the situation will become completely different."
Kanemitsu Keijiro said: "But now, the imperial army has already made preparations. Whether it is the 27th Division or the 35th Division, they are all fully equipped to attack, and they are facing the strength of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
We also have a good understanding, so if the other side wants to defeat the 27th Division and the 35th Division in the same way as the 26th Division, it will be absolutely impossible."
Anami Weiji usually obeyed Keijiro Kanemitsu, but this time he was uncharacteristically cautious. He shook his head and said, "But the Chahar Independent Regiment has absolutely superior armor groups and aviation forces. How do you say this?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, this humble position has been adequately evaluated." Kanemitsu Keijiro said after a pause, "First of all, through several air battles, we can find that the aviation force of the Chahar Independent Regiment only seems to have fighter jets, not an attack aircraft.
This poses a much smaller threat to the Imperial Army. Secondly, in the mountainous area to the west of Yixian County, the armored cluster cannot fully exert its power. The Imperial Army can completely rely on flexible infantry tactics and use rocket launchers to cause fatal damage to it!"
"Bazooka?" Anan Weiji shook his head and said, "The rocket launcher seems unable to penetrate the opponent's tanks."
"Not really." Kanemitsu Keijiro shook his head and said, "That's just because the attack method was incorrect and he didn't aim at the weak spot of the opponent's tank!"
"The method is incorrect? Weakness?" Ananwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "How do you say this?"
"Hai!" Kanemitsu Keijiro said after a pause, "The tanks equipped by the Chahar Independent Regiment have very thick armor and very strong protection. At least the rockets of the imperial army cannot penetrate them. However, the protection of the opponent's tanks
No matter how strong the force is, it may not be able to protect the tracks. You only need to aim at the tracks from the side and shoot, and it will definitely be effective!"
"Crawler tracks?" Anan Weiji's expression suddenly changed. This is indeed worth trying.
Kanemitsu Keijiro continued: "In a word, as long as the Minagi Brigade and the Nanyun Brigade can persist until noon, and until the 27th Division and the 35th Division arrive at the foot of Bauhinia Ridge, everything can still be done.
! Even if they cannot recapture the natural barrier of Zijingguan, the imperial army still has a chance to block the Chahar Independent Regiment in the mountainous area of Yixian County!"
"Hey!" Anami nodded happily, and just as he was about to say a few more words, a communications staff officer walked in hurriedly, walked up to him and announced, "Your Excellency, Commander, General Minamoto Yishige and General Nagumo Chiichiro have just
Send a farewell telegram, they have died for the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Nani?" Anan was stunned when he heard the words.
Kanemitsu Keijiro, Kasahara Yukio and Ichigan's staff also looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
Minamoto Yoshige and Nagumo Kinichiro sent farewell telegrams at the same time, which can only mean one thing, that is, the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade have been completely wiped out! Kaneko Eijiro just said,
As long as the two brigades could hold out until noon, the two brigades were completely wiped out just after the words were spoken!
This guy, Anan Weiji just saw a little hope, and was happy for a moment. This little flame of hope was immediately and cruelly extinguished by the Chahar Independent Regiment. At this moment, Anan Weiji wanted to cry without tears.
, is it easy for me to be the commander of the North China Front Army? As for bullying people like this?
In an instant, the entire combat hall fell into deathly silence, and everyone stared in confusion!
Not only was the fact that the two mixed brigades were wiped out so quickly surprised everyone, but also the series of chain reactions that would be caused after the two mixed brigades were wiped out made everyone present feel...
Chill! The two mixed brigades have been completely wiped out, but the 27th Division and the 35th Division, the second echelon, have not yet arrived.
This also means that it is inevitable that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment will leave Yi County from the east and appear in the North China Plain.
This means that the main force of the North China Front will have to fight the Chahar Independent Regiment on plain terrain!
This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for the North China Front, because the Chahar Independent Regiment not only has an absolutely superior aviation force, but also has an absolutely superior armored force. In the open plain terrain, the lethality of the aviation and armored forces will be
By doubling the number, the Chahar Independent Regiment's inferiority in military strength will be completely covered up.
What's more, although the Chahar Independent Regiment itself has a small number of troops, the number of Eighth Route Army troops cooperating with the battle is as high as more than 400,000. If you include the militia, the number will be even larger! Therefore, if the decisive battle is won, it will be
Forget it, once the decisive battle is lost, the consequences will be disastrous, and the entire North China Plain will fall into the hands of the enemy!
Thinking of this, Anan shuddered for several seconds, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
In the silence, Kanemitsu Keijiro was the first to react and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, Commander, please immediately send a telegram to order the 27th Division and the 35th Division to stop advancing towards Yixian, otherwise, these two divisions will
It is very likely that we will encounter the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment heading north. Once this happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"
If it is in complex mountainous terrain, the 27th Division and the 35th Division may be able to deal with the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment with their absolutely superior strength and flexible infantry tactics. However, in plain terrain,
Facing the powerful armored cluster of the Chahar Independent Regiment, the 27th Division and the 35th Division had no chance of winning!
Only then did Anami wake up from a dream, and quickly asked Kasahara Yukio to send a telegram to the two divisions.
Watching Kasahara Yukio go out, Kanemitsu Keijiro said quietly to Anami Yuki: "Your Excellency, Commander, we probably have to prepare for the worst."
The Anan team was awestruck when they heard this.
…
At this time, at the National Army Headquarters in Chongqing.
The military intelligence team also used radio to immediately transmit the battle situation at the foot of Bauhinia Ridge back to Chongqing.
When they learned that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment had arrived and annihilated the two Japanese independent mixed brigades entrenched on the Baoda Highway, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and several close aides were frightened.
Bai Chongxi, who had been mentally prepared for this, was also extremely shocked, because winning was so easy!
Damn it, these are two brigades!
According to the organization of the little devils, a standard brigade has more than 6,000 people, and two brigades are 13,000 people! This is a total of more than 13,000 devils, and they were cut off by the Chahar Independent Group like this
Cutting vegetables, and wiped out all the pigs? Even if they were to catch more than 13,000 pigs, they couldn't catch them all in such a short period of time, right?
Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang and several of his staff suddenly broke out in shock.
"Commissioner, there may be some other secrets in this, right?" Chen Cheng swallowed and said bitterly, "Maybe the two mixed brigades of the Japanese are not full, maybe they let the Langya Brigade destroy the commander.
The department is like this because it has lost effective command, otherwise it would never have been eaten so quickly."
