Forget it, since that's what Admiral Tada meant, let's do it. ”

Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand and said a little helplessly.

At present, the Japanese First Army's control of Jin Province and its surrounding occupied areas has been under great pressure, the 20th Division suffered heavy casualties, and the 2nd Division was almost completely wiped out when it was airlifted north. Coupled with some other losses before the battle against the new regiment, unconsciously, the Japanese troops who were killed were actually quite a few in the hands of the new regiment.

Okabe Naosaburo thought about it, and also felt that if the strength of the new regiment actually reached 10,000 horses, it would be troublesome at that time.

And Miyano Taro said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a lot of pressure on the troops at present. The Jin Sui army made several small attacks, constantly seizing the territory of the occupied areas throughout the empire. Although most of the Imperial Allied Army could assist the Imperial Army in garrisoning places, the combat effectiveness and courage of the Imperial Allied Army were really unbearable. Recently, the main force of more than 100,000 Kuomintang troops near Zhongtiao Mountain is also ready to move, and once a new regiment comes out of Hengshan again to attack our army, war will inevitably break out again. ”。

"Then contact the headquarters of the 2nd Division directly, and let the 2nd Division enter the customs from outside the customs as soon as possible, and take the train directly from the Zhengtai Railway to Taiyuan."

Taro Miyano said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this will put the 2nd Division in danger of being exposed!" After all, according to General Tada's secret telegram, the 2nd Division went south to enter the customs with the aim of going south to Jinling to rest for a week, and then marching west along the west to cooperate with the 11th Army's offensive operations against the million-strong main force of the Wuhan Nationalist Army. This suddenly changed the itinerary of the 2nd Division, is it .......".

"Anyway, the 2nd Division entered the customs in support of the combat operations of Okamura Ningji's 11th Army, and after going south along the railway from Beiping, it arrived at Taiyuan along the Zhengtai Railway westward, as long as it was kept secret when taking the train, and rushed to Taiyuan with lightning speed. Moreover, the entry of the 2nd Division into the customs is now part of the series of formations of our 1st Army, and this commander has the right to order the 2nd Division to fight according to the actual situation. ”

Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand, but said in a condensed voice.

After all, the elite Japanese troops of a division and regiment went south to enter the customs, and it was impossible to keep it secret for too long. Once the 2nd Division went south, it was impossible to really go south to Jinling to rest for a week, so according to the railways controlled by the Japanese army, it was most suitable to reach Taiyuan from the Zhengtai Railway to the west.

"Well, Your Excellency Commander, let's send a telegram directly to the 2nd Division! See what they have to say! Taro Miyano thought about it, and then suggested.

Okabe Naosaburo nodded and said, "Okay, then it's hard Miyano-kun!" ”。

With Hirohito's personal order, more than 25,000 devils of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the Songhua River valley in Liaodong secretly entered the customs by train, and after arriving in Beiping, they rested in the camp outside the city.

The 2nd Division rested in Beiping for only half a day, and within half a day, all the devils of the 2nd Division were stationed in Beiping, and it seemed that they went south to Jinling after resting.

At this time, in the temporary rest camp of the 2nd Division of the Devils, the commander of the 2nd Division, Kenichi Muto, and the chief of staff of the division, Yamada Hirosa, looked at the topographic map of the provinces of North China on the table, including Jin Province.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, yesterday's order from Commander Okabe is for us to march west from the Zhengtai Railway, and after arriving in Taiyuan, we will rest for a day or two before making preparations for attacking Hengshan."

Hiroshi Yamada pointed to Taiyuan, Jin Province, and said to Kenichi Muto.

Kenichi Muto didn't mean to despise Naosaburo Okabe in the slightest, but at this time, the old devil was surprised by the strong combat effectiveness of the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which was able to completely annihilate the 6th Division.

Since the 2nd Division was stationed in the Songhua River valley outside the Guanwai a few years ago, there has been no positive intuitive feeling of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. However, the 6th Division and the 2nd Division were one of the two most capable army units of the Japanese army, and even the 6th Division was ambushed and killed.

Now, even Hirohito has once again directly dispatched his troops south to enter the customs, and it is conceivable that even His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of the combat effectiveness of the new regiment, which shows that the combat power of the new regiment has attracted the attention of the highest level of the empire, and the 2nd Division is so urgently transferred to the south to enter the customs.

"No!"

Kenichi Muto shook his head and said, "Let's divide our troops and enter the Jin!" ”。

"What does the division commander mean?" Following Kenichi Muto's finger and pointing in two directions on the map, Hiroshi Yamada was a little surprised, do you want to deny the route into Jin Province designated by Naosaburo Okabe?

Kenichi Muto pointed to the map of several provinces in North China in front of the two of them and said: "According to the information sent by the military headquarters about the ambush of the new regiment, the terrain around Hengshan and the 6th Division of Pingxingguan, once we enter Taiyuan, there is no point in keeping it secret. The intelligence of the Eighth Route Army and the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Nationalist Army were comparable. ”。

After a pause, Kenichi Muto continued to condense: "So, one is to follow the order of Commander Okabe, one is to enter Taiyuan in Jin Province along the Zhengtai Railway, all the way directly from Beiping to the north, after following Huailai, Xuanhua to the west, along the Sangqian River to the west, to the north of Hengshan, and to attack Guangling and Wei County in the south. The part that entered Jin Province along the Zhengtai Railway to the west was to go south to Wangdu, go north along the Tang River, cross the Juncheng Ridge, after pouring the horse pass, cross the Great Wall and arrive at Laiyuan, Sanshan Town, and Lingqiu County, and then go north along the Guanshui River, and the two armies will directly attack the base of the new regiment in the Hengshan Mountains. ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is a bit against the will of Commander Okabe."

Yamada Hao said in a low voice, this is a bit of a meaning that he doesn't take Okabe Naosaburo's order in his eyes!

Kenichi Muto smiled and said, "How did my 2nd Division act, and why did it have to do exactly what Okabe Naosaburo wanted?" What's more, the battlefield is constantly changing, so don't let Okabe Naosaburo and them know about this change in the battle plan. Ordered the troops, assemble in the afternoon, take the train and set off separately. In this way, the 3rd Brigade went south along the railway to Wangdu according to the order of Okabe Naosaburo, and then went north along the Tang River according to my plan. This way, you command, Chief of Staff! ’。

"Okay, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I understand the humble position!" Hiroshi Yamada was a little helpless, although he knew that Kenichi Muto might not act exactly according to Okabe Naosaburo's orders, but he didn't expect that this was really the case.

However, Muto Kenichi's division of troops is actually right, at least he can kill all the way to the new regiment base of Hengshan by surprise when secrecy is not possible, and take the other party by surprise.

After all, judging by the recent information about the new regiment sent by Naosaburo Okabe, this unit of the new regiment is not allowed to be underestimated. Otherwise, the 2nd Division will inevitably fall into the same fate as the 6th Division.

can eat more than 23,000 elites of the 6th Division commanded by Gu Shoufu, and the new regiment will not allow the 2nd Division to be underestimated!
