Chapter 1272: Fifth Division

"Half a month?" Hinata Zhiming had a constipated look on his face.

If the Fifth Division and the 22nd Division act quickly and encircle and annihilate the 62nd and 63rd Divisions of the Nationalist Army in Dalan Town and Xikou Town respectively, then there will be only one division in Yinjiang, and in this case, the 13th Army will still have a great deal of confidence in capturing Yinjiang City within half a month.

But now, Yinjiang has three American mechanics stationed in it, and the difficulty immediately increases exponentially.

Usamitaka asked faintly, "Hinata Shijun, do you think we can capture Yinjiang in half a month?" ”

Hinata Zhiming subconsciously shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, emotionally humiliating hopes that the imperial army can capture Yinjiang within half a month, but reason tells Humility that it is unlikely!" ”

"It's unlikely, it means it's still possible, Hinata Shi-kun, is that so?"

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and he looked back sharply, but it was Nishio Shouzo.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" Usamitaka and Hinata Shiaki hurriedly closed their feet and stood up and paused again.

Nishio Shouzo waved his hand, walked up to Usamitaka, and asked, "Usami-kun, how sure are you?" ”

Usami Takashi frowned and groaned for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, there are only five points of certainty in the lowly position. ”

"Five points sure? That's half the chance. Nishio Shouzo nodded, and said, "Such an opportunity is enough for an adventure, you must know that in the Battle of Lushun that year, the imperial army only had a two-percent chance, but the final result was a complete victory for the imperial army!" So, sometimes courage can change everything. ”

"Hello!" Hearing this, Usamitaka suddenly felt relieved, and at the same time made up his mind.

"Usami-kun, let's go and fight!" Nishio Shouzo patted Usamitaka on the shoulder and said, "After all, even if this battle can't be won, the imperial army won't lose!" ”

"Hello!" Usamiro nodded again.

……

In Yinjiang, Jiangdong former enemy staff.

He Wenxi has not yet returned, so the staff is temporarily presided over by Ding Bai.

At this time, Ding Bai had already taken a few combat staff officers who stayed behind to mark the situation of the enemy and us on the sand table.

"That's it, that's about it." Ding Bai pointed to the sand table and explained, "The 63rd Division has been stationed on the front line of Gaoqiao and Cicheng after the redress, and the 62nd Division has also been stationed on the line from Gulin Town to Dongqiao Town after the redress, and the second detachment can now concentrate its forces on the line from Dongwu Town to Yunlong Town, and the situation is much better than before." ”

Just two days ago, Zhong Yi did not come back, and the 62nd Division and the 63rd Division did not come to Yinjiang, at that time, Yinjiang only had a second detachment, and the little devil was the army of two divisions, of which the fifth division was still the first-class main division that had fought earth-shattering results in the Shanxi battlefield.

At that time, Ding Bai was really square.

But now, not only Zhong Yi is back, but he also brought two main divisions!

So now Ding Bai is no longer square at all, just come to the devil!

Thinking of this, Ding Bai couldn't help but say again: "Senza, now that we have three American mechanics in Yinjiang, the disadvantage in strength is not very great, plus we are a defensive operation, and there are strong fortifications to rely on, so the devil doesn't want to break through our army's defense line within half a month." ”

After a pause, Ding Bai continued: "After half a month, the Tenth Army and the Forty-first Army have completed their rest, and when the time comes, the counter-encirclement will be implemented from the periphery, and the little devil will be finished." ”

"Nope." Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The little devil won't be finished. ”

After speaking, Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the waters of the East China Sea and said: "No matter how bad it is, the devil can still retreat from the sea, so in this battle, the devil is actually invincible!" ”

"Huh?" Ding Bai was a little dumbfounded.

Zhong Yi shook his head, and continued: "But now let's think about it first, how to defend Yinjiang." ”

Ding Bai was stunned and said: "Counselor, with the current situation, there should be no pressure to hold Yinjiang, right?" ”

"No pressure?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Deputy Director Ding, you are thinking too simply, let me tell you, this battle is not that there is no pressure, but that the pressure is very great, so big that it is beyond your imagination!" ”

"Huh?" Ding Bai was a little stunned and said, "Why did the senza say that?" ”

"Because of the Fifth Division!" Zhong Yi said, "It is not for nothing that the Fifth Division can be praised as a steel army by the Japanese War Department, the combat effectiveness of this division is really strong!" Really strong! ”

It was this Fifth Division that defeated more than 30 divisions of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army from the front in the Battle of Xinkou with the strength of a brigade.

It was this Fifth Division that still used the strength of a brigade to defeat the only mechanized unit of the national army, the Fifth Army, with a strength of more than 40,000 troops, at the cost of more than 5,000 casualties in the Battle of Kunlun Pass.

If you haven't fought against the Fifth Division, you'll never know how terrible this division is.

……

Almost at the same time, in the town of Andong in Cixi County.

With the landing of the follow-up forces of the Fifth Division, Imamura also relocated his divisional headquarters from the destroyer Izumo of the Navy's Fourth Fleet to land.

Regarding the fact that the Fifth Division was not advancing fast enough and was unable to encircle and annihilate the 63rd Division of the National Army resting in the area of Dalan Town, Yaonan, Usamitaka actually had some blame.

Because a division like the Fifth Division, which has a very large scale of personnel and equipment, is very troublesome and time-consuming to start.

First of all, the landing of nearly 30,000 people is a big problem.

After the landing of personnel, there is the landing of follow-up equipment.

After the landing of equipment, there is also the landing of supplies.

After all the personnel, equipment and supplies are disembarked, it will be deployed.

After the troops are deployed, they can move forward, so at this time the problem comes, almost all the land in Cixi is flat, and all the actions of the Japanese army are exposed to the monitoring of the national army, and there is no secret.

Therefore, the Fifth Division had just landed from Sanbei, and the 63rd Division, which was resting in Dalan Town, had already received the news and reacted as soon as possible, so even if the Fifth Division could fly, it would be too late.

Imamura Jun also knew the news that the 62nd and 63rd Divisions of the National Army had retreated to Yinjiang and changed their equipment.

It's just that Imamura doesn't care about this, because he has absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division, which is just two remnant divisions of the National Army, and is by no means the opponent of the Fifth Division!

Imamura Jun even felt that it would not take so many troops to capture a mere Yinjiang River, and that only one of their Fifth Divisions would be enough to complete the task.

At the sound of footsteps, a large officer hurriedly walked in.

This Osa, is the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, Takeshi Sakurada.
