Chapter 1273: Breakthrough
Your Excellency, Division Commander! ”
As soon as Takeshi Sakurada entered, he suddenly straightened his feet and bowed deeply to Imamura.
Imamura waved his hand and said, "Sakurada-kun, have you seen the frontline terrain so quickly?" ”
"Hello." Sakurada Takeshi paused again, then straightened up and said, "The terrain of the Yinjiang River is still very simple, so I chose a few of these locations and walked around. ”
Imamura Junmichi: "Did you find anything?" ”
"Really." Takeshi Sakurada motioned to the staff officer who followed behind him to spread out the map.
Then Sakurada Takeshi pointed to the map and said, "Commander, you see, this is Cicheng, which is the core of the entire fortification of the Yinjiang River in the northwest. ”
Imamura bowed his head lightly and did not interject.
Sakurada Takeshi continued: "Although the inferior government did not conduct a reconnaissance of Cicheng, it can still be found that the Chinese army has built a total of three large bunker groups on the periphery of Cicheng, all of which are five small bunkers to defend a large main bunker, and protect Cicheng from the north, west, and south, and are invulnerable. ”
Imamura Jun frowned and said: "Sakurada-kun, there are only three bunkers on the periphery of Cicheng, and the arch guards are only in the north, west, and south directions, so what about the east?" ”
Sakurada Takemichi: "To the east is the Yinjiang River. ”
"That's right." Imamura Jun said, "Can you consider landing directly on the tidal flats north of Jiaochuan?" ”
"Division commander, I'm afraid this won't work." Sakurada Takeshi said without thinking, "Zhong Yi is very powerful, he has built a large number of pillbox fortifications in the coastal area from Jiulong Lake to Zhenhai, and most of these fortifications are half-buried, and it is difficult for the naval guns of the Imperial Navy to cause substantial damage to them. ”
"Yaga." Imamura said, "That's really troublesome. ”
If the navy's naval guns were unable to cause damage to the pillboxes along the coast, then the beach-grabbing landing would be wishful thinking, and it would be impossible for them to force the landing in the face of the strafing fire of the national army, as strong as their Fifth Division.
After a pause, Imamura said again: "So, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"Hello." Sakurada Takeshi said first, "I think there are two places that can be used as a breakthrough!" ”
After a pause, Sakurada Takeshi said again: "First, it is Hengjie Town in Yinxi, because of the humble discovery, with Hengjie Town as the boundary, the north is the 63rd Division of the China Army, and the south is the 62nd Division of the China Army. ”
Imamura Jun stared at him and said, "In other words, Hengjie Town is the junction of the two divisions?" ”
"Yes." Sakurada Takemichi, "Generally speaking, the defense zone junction is often the most vulnerable, and there is factional overthrow within the China Army, and the internal friction is more serious, so the zone junction is even more vulnerable!" If we choose Hengjie as a breakthrough, it is very likely that the Chinese army will pass the buck to each other. ”
"Yo Si." Imamura nodded happily and said, "Where is the other breakthrough?" ”
Sakurada Takeshi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to force a little more on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Here." ”
Imamura's gaze fell on Sakurada Takeshi's finger, and he was immediately stunned: "Nine Dragon Lake? ”
"Yes, Kowloon Lake." Sakurada Takeshi continued, "Commander, you see, the defense line of the Yinjiang Zhina Army has only expanded to Longshan near Jiulong Lake, and the density of its fortifications is not at the same level as Cicheng. ”
After a pause, Sakurada Takeshi said again: "Moreover, the division commander, the fortifications around Longshan Town are the head of the entire Yinjiang fortifications, if the fortifications of Yinjiang are compared to a big snake, then the bunker community in Longshan Town is its snake head, and Jiulong Lake is the seven inches of this big snake, as long as you pinch its seven inches, it is not difficult to subdue this big snake." ”
"Really?" Imamura frowned and said, "The status of Longshan Town is so important, the strength of its fortifications is actually not as far as Cicheng?" This is not normal, could there be some conspiracy? ”
"This ......" Sakurada Takeshi was speechless for a long time before he said again, "But with humble observation, there should be no traps, is it possible, because Longshan Town is the beginning of the entire chain of fortifications, so Zhong Yi attaches great importance to it and wants to leave the fortifications for the last construction." ”
After a pause, Sakurada Takecai continued: "As a result, before it was completed, the Battle of Zhejiang-Fujian broke out, and then there was no time to build it again." ”
Jun Imamura: "Sakurada-kun, is there any basis for what you say?" ”
"Hello." Imamura Jun said at a glance, "Because I found that a large number of building materials such as ash, sand and gravel and even steel bars were piled up on the periphery of Longshan Town, and some people were rushing to repair the fortifications!" ”
"Really?" Imamura said thoughtfully, "It's really possible. ”
After thinking about it, Imamura was still a little uneasy, and immediately decided to go and see it for himself.
……
Those who want to go to Longshan Town to see not only Imamura Jun, but also Zhong Yi.
really made Sakurada Takeshi, the old devil, right, that the fortifications of Longshan Town were really too late to be built.
Since Zhong Yi took over the post of mayor of Yinjiang, relying on a series of operations, the financial situation is relaxed, and all kinds of building materials are also produced through the industrial park in Yinxi, but the fortification chain around Yinjiang is a large-scale project, even if Yinjiang now has sufficient human resources, it is impossible to build it in a short time.
To tell the truth, the three fortifications surrounding the Yinjiang River are barely completed, the outermost fortifications are barely completed, the middle fortifications are only half built, and the innermost fortifications are only a foundation.
Even in the outermost fortifications, there are still gaps.
And the largest gap is near Kowloon Lake.
At this moment, Zhong Yiren is in the Buddhist Miracle Temple at the foot of Dapeng Mountain.
On the left and right sides of the temple are rolling hills, and although the infantry of the little devils can pass freely, the devil's cars and heavy equipment cannot pass through.
However, the Buddha Temple is located in a canyon, and there was originally a mechanized path in the canyon.
Today, the road has been extended into a road, which is large enough for trucks.
In other words, the Japanese army's trucks and heavy equipment could completely pass through this road in the valley to Jiulong Lake, and then cross Jiulong Lake to be the camel town of Yinjiang!
The defense line of Camel Town already belongs to the second line of defense of Yinjiang, and less than half of the fortifications have been repaired.
In other words, once the Japanese army broke through the defense line of Jiulong Lake, it could reach the outskirts of Yinjiang City!
To make matters worse, it was the Fifth Division that rushed in from the north, the first-class main division with the highest combat effectiveness among the 17 permanent divisions of Little Japan!
Looking at the mountain gate of the Buddha Miracle Temple, as well as the road passing in front of the mountain gate, Zhong Yi's face gradually became solemn.
