Fujita Shin said, "Nani? The 135th Division of the Chinese Army was reinforced by a strong reinforcement? ”

Riichiro Katayama paused: "Hai! ”

Fujita Jin said again: "It is the 31st Army of the Chinese Army that guards the defense line of Linhuai Pass, not to mention that the 173rd Division and the 174th Division are all pinned down by other units of our Imperial Army, even if they are not contained.

With their low combat effectiveness, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the 68th Wing of the Imperial Army in such a short period of time. ”

After a pause, Fujita Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an undisguised murderous intent, turned his head to look at the chief of staff Tian Yuan Toshio, gritted his teeth and said: "Chief of Staff, immediately instruct the intelligence department to find out all the information such as the unit number of this branch army in the shortest possible time!"

I will cut them all down and bring me the endless shame of the Imperial Japanese Army! ”

In just over half a year, the 68th Infantry Wing was twice defeated by the Chinese. The army was destroyed, and as the commander of the division, Fujita Jin's anger in his heart can be imagined.

"Hello!"

The chief of staff, Tian Yuan Li Xiong Dazuo, paused heavily, and immediately took the order and turned away.

The divisional headquarters fell into a long silence, almost audible of pins dropping.

Except for the faint breathing of the officers of the devils, there was hardly a sound to be heard.

Fujita Jin didn't say a word, and the rest of the devils didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that one of them would be bad and burn themselves.

About half an hour later, the chief of staff, Toshio Taka, hurriedly walked in from outside, still holding a telegram in his hand.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the information from the Special High School, the Zhina Army that came to reinforce should be Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment!"

Fujita's face changed dramatically and asked, "Nani?" Tiger Bunch? Is it the Tiger Regiment that attacked our 68th Infantry Wing outside Baoshan City, took away the wing flag to wipe his ass, and brought endless shame to my 3rd Division? ”

"Hello!" Tian Yuan Lixiong paused heavily: "It's the Tiger Ben Regiment, but the Tiger Ben Regiment has not yet been established at that time!" ”

Susumu Fujita is not a waste who only knows how to get angry and angry, on the contrary, he is a very shrewd guy.

In fact, who can become the commander of the division of the Japanese lieutenant general, who will be simple?

After pondering for a moment, Fujita Jin slowly spoke: "With the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, if it is really this unit that comes to reinforce it, then it is reasonable that the 68th Wing of the Imperial Army will be defeated. ”

The commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, Riichiro Katayama, wanted to add that the 68th Wing was not defeated, but completely annihilated.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

After a while, Fujita continued: "However, what do the people in the special high class do to eat, why haven't we received information about this? ”

Tian Yuan Toshio explained: "Here's the thing, when the 114th Division of the Imperial Army attacked Nianzhuang, the Imperial Army agents of the Xuzhou Branch of the Special High Division wanted to replicate the miracle of the Jinling Branch of the Special High Division to raid the garrison headquarters of the China Army, and launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Fifth Theater of Operations in China.

As a result, he was ambushed by the Zhina Army, and all the agents of the sub-station were wiped out, which led to the lack of intelligence on Xuzhou by the Special High School.

Just now, it was the special high school that used a chess piece lurking in the fifth theater of the Chinese Army, and only then did I learn the news that the Tiger Ben Regiment was rushing south to aid the Huaihe defense line. ”

Fujita Jin mocked: "Hmph! The agents of the Xuzhou branch station are really a bunch of idiots, do they really think that Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng are as rubbish as Tang Mengxiao?

What's more, with the precedent of Jinling, how could Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng not be defended? ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do now?" ”

"What should I do?" Fujita Jin said in a cold voice: "Of course, we will continue to launch the battle of crossing the river and tear apart the defense line of the Linhuai Pass Army!" ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong said with some concern: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this Tiger Regiment once almost completely annihilated the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Imperial Army in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated!"

If we continue to force the Huai River, I am afraid that it will not be effective! ”

Fujita Shindo: "According to reliable intelligence, although this Tiger Regiment severely damaged the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Imperial Army in the Battle of Taierzhuang, as the attacker, the casualties of the Tiger Regiment were also extremely heavy!"

Now that less than a month has passed since the Battle of Taierzhuang, the recruits recruited by the Tiger Ben Regiment have not formed any combat effectiveness at all.

This is a great time for new and old hatreds to annihilate one by one! ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong said again: "Then I don't know, how should we attack?" ”

Fujita Jin said coldly: "Raid at night!" ”

"Nani? Raid at night? ”

Chief of Staff Toshio Tano, Brigade Commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, Ichiro Katayama, and Brigade Commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, Kanichiro Ueno, all had their faces changed drastically.

Fujita nodded and said, "Not bad!" Raid at night! ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, division commander, no! Although our Imperial Japanese Army is not bad at night fighting.

But aviation units, and ground field artillery firepower are our advantage!

If a night attack is launched, the Imperial Army aviation will not be able to take off to assist in the battle, and the ground field artillery will not be able to inflict precision strikes on the Chinese army.

We are tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings!

I'm afraid it's hard to work! ”

Fujita explained: "In the Battle of Baoshan, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army brought great shame to the 3rd Division of the Imperial Army!

Neither I, nor anyone present, could lift my head in front of my Imperial colleagues.

Therefore, I am always paying attention to and studying the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army!

According to my research, Yang Jing is a person with great strategic vision and tactical command ability, and he has studied the strategy and tactics of our Imperial Japanese Army very thoroughly.

This person is not only the top confidant of my Great Japanese Empire, but also an extremely difficult opponent!

In addition, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army was not weaker than our Imperial Japanese Army in terms of light weapons and artillery firepower!

And they are also equipped with a considerable amount of anti-aircraft firepower, and have destroyed Imperial Army fighters more than once!

In addition, with the obstruction of the Huai River moat, the tank and armored units of our imperial army could not participate in the battle.

Under such circumstances, if you want to defeat the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, you can no longer use conventional means! ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong said: "So, the so-called night attack of His Excellency the division commander is not a whim?" ”

"Of course!" Fujita nodded heavily: "In the past examples, our Imperial Japanese Army rarely launched night battles!"

Then, through reverse reasoning, it is not difficult to find that the Chinese army will definitely not think that we will launch a night attack.

Therefore, the night must be the time when the defense of the Chinese army is the most lax!

In this way, our chances of success will be greatly improved! ”

"Yo Xi!"

Tian Yuan Lixiong and the others nodded heavily, and then began to discuss the specific details of the night attack.

……

Xuzhou, a beautiful woman dressed as a short-haired student walked around the city of Xuzhou, and after inquiring, she learned that the tiger group had left Xuzhou and disappeared.

couldn't help gritting his teeth in anger, his face showed a hideous look that did not match the beauty, and said coldly: "Yang Jing! You can't run away! ”

Instantly, the woman disappeared at the end of an alley.

……

The picture pulls back to the north bank of the Huai River.

After Wei Shidong, Tan Wude, and Su Fufu and others left, Yang Jing directly took over the command of the original 135th Division as the headquarters of the Tiger Regiment.

Yang Jing studied the map in the headquarters for a while, then walked out of the headquarters and began to survey the terrain near Yaowan on the spot.

With such a long stretch along the Huai River, it is indeed not an easy task to hold the Japanese 3rd Division crossing the river.

The ancients are right in the art of war, the best defense is offense!

If you only know how to defend, you can only wait for the enemy to attack you.

Defending against devils in the Huai River, to put it bluntly, is purely a defense battle that consumes troops.

The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army has a field heavy artillery brigade and three aviation wings, such strategic forces.

If he opened the formation to fight a positional battle, Yang Jing really had no certainty of victory.

The Tiger Ben Regiment is an elite, and Yang Jing will not be stupid enough to let his troops fight a war of attrition all the time.

They will not attack the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings.

Yang Jing's idea is to find fighters in defense and kill the main force of the devil. It's best to raid the headquarters of the devil's division, or their field heavy artillery brigade.

In this way, the 3rd Division could be greatly thwarted and their offensive could be broken from the roots!

Yang Jing held a telescope in his hand, sometimes standing on the commanding heights and looking into the distance, sometimes walking along the north bank of the Huai River, thinking about how to use the terrain for defense.

After surveying for more than two hours, Yang Jing issued an order to redeploy troops and arm defenses.

The main defense line of the Tiger Ben Regiment was in Yaowan on the north bank of the Huai River, which was more than 5 miles long.

This is a tidal flat, and there are no cliffs on the shore, which is very suitable for landing operations.

After deploying the troops, Yang Jing ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications on the defensive line according to his instructions on the positions of the original 135th Division.

With a strong defensive position, it was not a problem to block the Japanese from crossing the river.

Next, he considered how to make the greatest use of the tidal flat in front of him, kill and consume the enemy's troops to the greatest extent, and delay the little devil to cross the Huai River!

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Yang Jing decided to arrange two more lines of defense on the north bank of the Huai River to hinder the enemy's advance.

"Ma Tong!"

"Yes!"

Ma Tong, who was following Yang Jing's side, straightened up and agreed with a bang.

Yang Jing continued: "Pass my order and all battalions and companies immediately dig as many pits as possible on the tidal flats on the north bank and deploy some mines. Also, be careful to mark the ground of the mine so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops! ”

"Yes!"

Ma Tong responded and took the order to leave.

The trap formation and mine formation can block the Japanese army's river crossing operation at the first time, give the defending troops enough time to annihilate the river crossing.

Yang Jing continued to inspect the defensive line more than five miles long, carefully surveying every position, and urging all units to quickly establish fortifications.

At the same time, instructions were given on the spot on how the trenches should be excavated and how the light and heavy machine gun fire points should be deployed.

Only when the firing point exists for a long time can it inflict greater damage on the enemy.

Therefore, what seems to be the most open position in the shooting range may not be the most suitable, because these positions are likely to be noticed by the Japanese army and will be taken care of.

……

As the sun sets, night gradually falls, and the banks of the Huai River slowly fall into darkness.

10 miles away from the south bank of the Huai River, the headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, the 5th Infantry Brigade.

More than a dozen devil officers, including the brigade commander Riichiro Katayama, sat at the conference table at the brigade headquarters.

They are holding a military meeting.

The content of the meeting was how to launch a night attack and tear open the defense line of the Tiger Regiment, so as to cover the smooth crossing of the river by the main force of the division.

Because in the afternoon meeting of the division headquarters, Fujita Susumu decided to let Richiro Katayama make meritorious service and lead his 5th Infantry Brigade as the vanguard to take the lead in launching an attack on the Yaowan defense line held by the Tiger Regiment.

Riichiro Katayama's cold gaze swept over the faces of the devil officers present one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Crossing the Huai River tonight, how are all the departments preparing?" ”

Wing Commander of the 6th Infantry Wing, Masai Daisa, who served as the former enemy commander of tonight's river-crossing operation, was the first to reply: "Report to Your Excellency Brigade Commander, all the river-crossing combat units have been assembled!" ”

Immediately afterwards, a devil Shaozo stood up and reported: "Report to Your Excellency the brigade commander, the brigade logistics department has mobilized 50 rubber boats!" ”

After this Shao Zuo finished speaking, another devil Shao Zuo reported: "Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our department was ordered to requisition and transfer river crossing tools in the villages and towns on the south bank of the Huai River, and seized a total of 68 large and small boats from the civilians of China. ”

"Yo Si! Order all units to prepare and cross the Huai River tonight! Tear up the defense line of the Tiger Regiment of the Fat Army, kill Yang Jing, and use the endless shame that Snow Qi brought to me of the Great Japanese Imperial Army! ”

Riichiro Katayama slammed his fist on the conference table, expressing his strong determination to recapture Yaowan.

"Hello!"

All the devil officers stood up one after another and slammed their heads.

Subsequently, they left the command one after another......

After receiving the order, the combat unit of the devil crossing the river immediately launched an operation, and under the cover of night, they carried rubber boats and boats and quickly advanced to the river bank south of the Huai River.

As the clock ticked, it was fast to 12 a.m.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa! ——”

At this time, it is close to May, and the Huai River is gradually ushering in the flood season, and the river water flow is much larger than that of the dry season in winter.

The crashing sound of waves on the rushing surface of the river.

More than 3,600 devil soldiers of the 6th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, carrying various means of crossing the river, gathered near the ferry on the south bank of the Huai River under the cover of night.

"Put down the boat, the 1st Infantry Brigade quickly crosses the river, hurry up and drop!"

Under the orders of Shoji Kaneda, the 1st Infantry Brigade, more than 1,200 devil soldiers, pushed those boats into the river, and then stepped on knee-high water to board the boats.

More than 110 boats slowly rowed on the river, and some devil soldiers rowed towards the north bank of the Huai River with their oars.

The machine gun crew set up a light and heavy machine gun on top of the bunker sandbag in the bow of the ship, in case the defenders on the opposite bank suddenly attacked, they could fire in the shortest possible time.

About 10 minutes later, all the devil soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade went ashore. After coming ashore, they did not immediately charge forward, but spread out in close proximity, set up various guns and went on the defensive.

Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Infantry Brigade did the same and successfully crossed the Huai River.

After gathering more than 2,400 troops, the Japanese army, under the leadership of the two Shaozuo captains, immediately divided the way and quietly touched the front defense line and flank of the Tiger Regiment.

The 3rd Infantry Brigade did not cross the river together, but remained at the south bank ferry to stand by in case of contingencies.

As soon as the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades in front succeed and occupy part of the Tiger Regiment's position, they will immediately come up with reinforcements and defeat the Tiger Regiment with them!
