"Should we prepare for both?"

Not only the commander Terauchi Shouichi, but the rest of the Japanese officers also looked at the chief of staff, Major General Okabe Naosaburo, with a surprised expression.

"Haya!"

Okabe Naosaburo straightened his chest, and then said with a solemn face: "I believe that the strength of the First Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, I believe everyone here is very clear; Therefore, the fact that the First Army was deflated one after another at the hands of the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jinsui Army shows that its combat effectiveness is not simple.

Therefore, General Tu Feiyuan should not be careless.

I do not deny the combat effectiveness of the 14th Division, nor do I deny the military command ability of General Tu Feiyuan.

However, if the 14th Division wants to defeat the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jin Sui Army, it will definitely not be too simple, this is a tough battle, and General Tu Feiyuan needs to be fully prepared.

Don't go to the back of the First Army!

Especially now, the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has become a star unit in China, a banner, and the spiritual pillar of Chinese soldiers.

For this reason, the Chinese side will definitely do everything to improve its combat effectiveness! It is more likely that it will be transferred directly to the rear, so that it will remain the spiritual belief of the Chinese army. Fastest update on PC:/

Because of this, if our Imperial Japanese Army can successfully defeat or even completely annihilate the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jinsui Army, the benefits it can bring are also great!

The shattering of the spirit, the collapse of faith, these are enough to kill!

At that time, countless Chinese soldiers may surrender without a fight because they can't see hope!

Of course, the premise of all this must be that the 14th Division can successfully defeat or even completely annihilate the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jin Sui Army.

Personally, I prefer that the 14th Division will hold off with the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jin Sui Army in Datong.

Even if it can be defeated in the end, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and it will not be completely annihilated. ”

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean, my dignified Japanese 14th Division, more than 30,000 Imperial Imperial Army, can't take a battalion from China?"

Kenji Dohihara frowned and interrupted Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo's words, with a look of displeasure.

"General Tu Feiyuan, please listen to me."

After a pause, Naosaburo Okabe continued: "The guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Chinese Jin Sui Army is nominally a battalion, but in my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for it to be as simple as just a battalion, or even more than a group army.

Otherwise, no matter how strong his battalion is, it will only be one or two thousand people up to the sky, how can it be the opponent of our First Army of Great Japan?

I even suspect that this is simply a cover of the Chinese military, a conspiracy, the purpose of which is to launch this heroic army, so as to boost the crumbling morale of the Chinese army and stabilize the hearts of the Chinese people who are about to collapse. ”

"Hmm."

All the Japanese officers nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with this.

This time, even Kenji Dohihara is no exception, although he is confident, he will definitely not be blindly arrogant, otherwise he would not be able to become the commander of the Japanese lieutenant general's division.

"Here's what I'm going to say about the second preparation."

Everyone pricked up their ears all of a sudden, and they heard Okabe Naosaburo continue: "It is suggested that after the First Army withdraws from the Datong battlefield, it will directly bypass Datong, go south and take a small road to bypass Huiyuan County, then pass through Wutai County, and then go west to Xinkou.

Although this trail is very difficult to follow, if it succeeds, the First Army will definitely be able to become a surprise army and take the Chinese defenders by surprise.

At that time, it will be a breeze to cooperate with the Fifth Division to take Xinkou! ”

"Yo Si! That's a great plan! ”

Okabe Naosaburo's proposal was once again unanimously agreed by all the devil officers, and the commander Terauchi Shouichi couldn't help but nod frequently.

……

The picture pulls back to the southern mountains of Datong.

After receiving the death order from the division commander Seishiro Itagaki, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army reorganized its forces and attacked again.

This time, the commander of the 21st Brigade, Naomi Hattori, who had suffered a loss, directly transferred all the field artillery in his department, and then cooperated with a tank brigade that had just come to support to launch a general attack on the flank positions of the coalition forces.

Without any bells and whistles, and without giving the wing much time to react, it was determined to completely defeat the coalition defenders and recapture Datong in one go.

Huo Zhengyun led the 14th Army Guard Regiment to the flank of the battlefield and served as a front-line defense mission.

Huo Zhengyun's regimental headquarters had just been formed, and the devil's shells fell from the sky as if they were not paying for money, and poured into the position of the guard regiment for the first time

Suddenly, the explosion caused the entire mountain area to burst into flames, the sound of cannons rumbled, the rocks cracked, the earth flew everywhere, and countless shrubs collapsed one after another.

The power was so strong that it was like an earthquake was coming, and the whole earth was trembling slightly. Starting

One of the shells even landed near Huo Zhengyun's headquarters, and the mud and gravel carried by the blast wave of the explosion flew wildly, and some of them flew into the headquarters and scattered all over the command table.

The commander of the first battalion, Rong Hao, suggested: "Tuanzao, why don't we hide?"

Huo Zhengyun said disapprerovingly: "What are you hiding, the cannonball that the little devil wants to kill me hasn't been made yet!" The big battle is coming, don't move lightly, pass the order, the whole regiment is ready to fight, this time we must play our majesty! Let the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion and the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army see and understand, my 14th Army Guard Regiment, he didn't give it in vain! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a reconnaissance platoon commander hurriedly ran in and saluted him and Rong Hao: "The regimental seat, the commander of the first battalion, the forward observation post reports that the enemy has dispatched a large number of tanks and is covering a large number of infantry approaching our defense line!"

When Huo Zhengyun heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he immediately turned his head to Rong Hao and said, "First battalion commander, immediately send someone to notify the artillery company and ask them to bring a few guns over to help us fight the enemy's tanks and assist us in the battle!"

It is also aggrieved, although the artillery company belongs to his guard battalion, it was recruited by Wang Gui, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy.

The reason is simple, as a rapid march, Huo Zhengyun's guard regiment only carried a few 60 mm caliber mortars in case of emergency.

The field artillery used now is all from the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment.

"Yes!"

The commander of the first battalion, Rong Hao, saluted the regiment commander Huo Zhengyun, and then turned around and walked out of the headquarters.

As a result, before he could run out of the headquarters, Lu Yuan and Ma Fei walked in head-on and almost collided with him.

"Company Commander Lu, Deputy Company Commander Ma!"

Don't fight or know each other, after fighting with Ma Fei, Rong Hao became an iron buddy with him.

Soldiers are like this, and a lot of friendship is made.

Especially after seeing the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion and the tactical command ability of Commander Wang Gui in the past two days, Rong Hao was even more impressed by the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion.

"Hahaha! After the commander-in-chief knew that the little devil had mobilized a chariot brigade to come over, he sent two of us with 20 infantry guns to help. ”

Lu Yuan laughed, nodded to Ronghao, and then strode towards the headquarters.
