Chapter 28: Smoke Rises (4)
Chapter 2 is here!
************
Accompanied by the commander of the Sakai Division, Yamada Nakasa, who came from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, entered the war room, and the door of the house was immediately closed, and several Japanese soldiers surrounded the war room and no longer let others approach.
Entering the war room, Nakasa looked inside the room, and saw that the room was very simple, only those necessary combat command equipment, and secretly praised it in his heart.
Striding to the map, looking down, Nakasa couldn't help frowning when he found Sakai's idea for the next stage of the battle above.
Seeing his expression, Sakai's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Yamada-kun, may I ask if you have any orders to convey this time?" ”
Yamada withdrew his gaze from the map, and instead of answering his words, he asked rhetorically, "General Sakai, did you make the battle concept on this map?" ”
Sakai nodded and said calmly, "Yes, this is my guess and some thoughts on the next battle. ”
Yamada Nakasa nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of interesting meaning, and handed the document in the briefcase in his hand to the commander of the Sakai Division, "This is an order given to you by the headquarters, you can see for yourself." ”
After taking the document, the commander of the Sakai division opened the letter, only to look at it twice, his face changed, and after reading the entire order, Sakai's brows tightened, and he couldn't help asking, "Yamada Nakasa, is that what the headquarters meant?" ”
Yamada Nakasa nodded and said in a very firm tone, "Yes, General Sakai, this is the latest battle plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters of the Headquarters, and I hope you can implement it." ”
"These people in the staff headquarters, are they thinking about problems with their butts!" Captain Sakai was so angry that he slammed the document on the table, "This is an idea that a bunch of guys who are dumber than pigs can come up with, I really don't know what they've been thinking all day?" ”
"Commander Sakai, please pay attention to your words." Looking at the angry commander of the Sakai Division, Yamada Nakasa was a little embarrassed, because he was also a staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters, he coughed lightly twice, and he persuaded, "The Commander of the Sakai Division, this is an operational deployment formulated by the General Staff Headquarters and the commander together, I'm afraid you can only carry it out." ”
Sakai also knew that this could not be changed, and Minato just said that just to vent his grievances, and when he saw Yamada Nakasa say this, he had to nod, "Okay, I'll do it." ”
Yamada Nakasa breathed a sigh of relief, this time he was sent to deliver the letter, if the commander of the Sakai division refused to accept it, then he would not be able to explain when he went back, and he might be punished.
After conveying the order, Yamada Nakasa thanked the commander of the Sakai division for his invitation to stay for dinner, boarded the armored truck, and left to return to Chengde under the protection of two military trucks.
When Yamada Nakasa left, the face of the head of the Sakai division suddenly became gloomy, and he picked up the document and looked at it for a long time, then put it on the table, and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Panasonic and Nagashima stood aside, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, they knew that the division commander would definitely not be in a good mood now, so no one took the initiative to speak.
After half an hour, the head of the Sakai division stopped, turned his head to look at the two of them, "Panasonic, Nagashima." ”
"General!" The two responded in unison.
"You also know, the headquarters has come to order, so that we can launch an attack on Meiling Town, no later than noon tomorrow." Commander Sakai pointed his hand at the document and motioned for them to take a look, "Are you happy now?" ”
The two of them took the document and read it at a glance, and suddenly their faces were full of excitement, "It's really not very good, how does the headquarters know that we are looking forward to attacking." ”
"Hmph, don't be too happy!" The commander of the Sakai Division snorted with a calm face, as if he was not happy at all, "At present, the enemy's troops are unknown, and this battle may not be as simple as you think." ”
"The army of the Great Japanese Empire is the sharp spear, and all those who dare to stand in the way will be pierced with one blow." Matsushita made a spear thrust and said confidently.
Sakai sighed, "Panasonic, I order, tomorrow morning to launch an attack on Meiling Town, with your department as the main attack, and the Nagashima Valley Sansho Department as the strategy, and then prepare to enter the battle." ”
Matsushita was overjoyed when he heard this, but Guzo Nagashima on the side was unhappy, so he almost protested.
"Panasonic, you will attack Meiling Town tomorrow, don't rush forward after the defeat, you must first clear the enemy in Meiling Town, and after consolidating your footsteps, you are talking about the next step." Sakai never tires of admonishing him, hoping to be as cautious as possible and not fall into the trap of the enemy.
Matsushita said yes repeatedly, then turned around and rushed down, it seemed that he was going to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
Looking at Matsushita's distant back, the head of the Sakai division shook his head, turned to look at Nagashima Guzo on the side, "Nagashima, do you know why I let him take the lead and let you respond?" ”
Nagashima Tanizo looked at the commander of the Sakai Division in confusion, "General, I don't know. ”
"Panasonic is more reckless, this time he is the main attacker, I am worried that he will not listen to my orders at that time, once he falls into the trap of the enemy, you can rush to the aid to ensure the safety of him and his troops."
When Nagashima Miyoi heard this, he was happy, and he went down to prepare.
After the two of them were gone, the commander of the Sakai division returned to the map, grabbed the magnifying glass, and got back to his busy work, he wanted to think carefully about how to fight before sending an attack tomorrow.
Although the 41st Division had an absolute advantage in terms of strength through the analysis of the intelligence it had gathered, and it was very confident in the combat effectiveness of its own troops, the commander of the Sakai Division always felt uneasy in his heart.
Perhaps it was because the reputation of the Yanhuang Legion was too loud, or perhaps it was due to his innate cautious character, the commander of the Sakai Division decided after thinking twice that he had to make some preparations in advance!
Thinking of this, he stood up and shouted outside, "Someone! ”
Two Japanese soldiers immediately ran in from outside the door and asked respectfully, "General, what are your orders?" ”
"You go and inform the law enforcement team, let them go to the nearby village to arrest a few civilians and come back, I can help!" The commander of the Sakai Division looked serious and gave orders to the Japanese soldiers.
The two Japanese soldiers hurried down to deliver the order, and Sakai knew that the law enforcement team would soon be able to complete the task, and then he would be able to get a lot of valuable things from the mouths of the common people.
This battle is related to the first battle of the Japanese Kwantung Army's encirclement and suppression of the Yanhuang Army, and Sakai will never allow defeat, and he will open the prelude to this encirclement and suppression with a good start.
