Chapter 849: Pre-War Preparations
Since it was still unclear about the specific intentions and movements of the 59th Wing of the Little Devil, after some analysis, Yang Yun ordered a telegram to ask Ma Zhu to continue to lead the officers and men of the reconnaissance company to pay close attention to the little devil's every move in Yongcheng, and once anything was discovered, it must be reported to the regiment headquarters immediately.
Because this time the 59th Wing of the Japanese Army had heavy field mountain artillery in its hands, and the fortifications built at the foot of Wufeng Mountain were not enough to resist its bombardment, Yang Yun decided to pull it out and fight, putting the battlefield on the way from Yongcheng to Wufeng Village.
There were as many as three roads leading from Yongcheng to Wufeng Mountain, so when he was not sure about the attack route of the little devil, Yang Yun simply ordered Hu Yunfei, Zhang Jinpeng and Liu Zhenhai to go to the position he had reconnoitred in advance to build a defensive position and prepare for battle in advance.
At the same time, Yang Yun ordered Long Yun to lead the rest of the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company to take the radio to the south to reconnoiter the movements of the little devils.
Not long after Yang Yun convened a military meeting, he was stationed in Yongcheng, and after dinner, Ichira, the commander of the 59th Wing of the Japanese Army, also held a military meeting at the temporary headquarters.
This station is the former station of the Okano Brigade, and the headquarters is also the headquarters of the Okano Brigade, so it is cheaper for Itanishi Kazura and his 59th Wing at this time.
As for the reconnaissance team that was sent by the commander of the second wing, Ishiguro Sadazo, they were directly blasted out of the station, and even the intelligence Ibanshi Kazura they detected was disdainful.
After the joint commander Itanishi Kazuyoshi waited for all his subordinates to arrive, he slowly walked into the headquarters and came to the top position, motioning for everyone to sit down.
After his sharp gaze swept over the circle of the men present, he slowly asked, "What do you think of the Zhina Mountain bandits entrenched on Wufeng Mountain in Su County?" ”
"Your Excellency, Captain!"
"Hmm!"
After receiving the nod of the wing captain Itanishi Kazuliang, the little devil Shaozo continued: "The so-called Central Army of China is like a group of local chickens and dogs in the face of our Imperial Japanese Army, and there is nothing to be afraid of a group of unpopular mountain bandits! ”
Itanishi Kazura didn't speak, but moved his gaze to the other little devil Shaozuo, as if waiting for his answer.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I believe that we must not be careless against the enemy, because the Okano Brigade is a good example."
"Nojiri-kun, do you think that our 59th Wing is not as good as the Okano Brigade?"
As soon as the little devil Shaozo finished speaking, the co-captain Itanishi Kazura had not yet spoken, and the little devil Shaozo who had spoken before took the lead and asked angrily.
"Humph! Yamamoto-kun, do you know, because of your carelessness, it is very likely that our 59th Wing will be sent to the road of no return! ”
Nojiri Shoji also roared angrily without letting it go.
"Just a group of mountain bandits will scare you, are you still worthy of being the captain of the Shaozuo Brigade of the Great Japanese Imperial Army?"
"Humph! Whether I am worthy of being the captain of the Imperial Japanese Army, it's not your turn to comment on this, Hirota Yamamoto! ”
"Enough!"
Itanishi Kazuliang slapped the conference table in front of him hard, shaking the conference table and making the headquarters instantly calm down.
"Mine is for you to discuss battle strategies, not for you to quarrel!"
"Hay! Humble and wrong! ”
Shoji Nojiri and Hirota Yamamoto bow their heads almost at the same time and admit their mistakes.
"Yo Xi!"
Itanishi Kazura nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Nojiri-kun! ”
"Hay!"
"Tell me what you think of those Zhina Mountain bandits entrenched on Wufeng Mountain."
"I believe that we must not be careless and underestimate the enemy and follow in the footsteps of the Okano Brigade."
"Your Excellency Wing Commander......"
As soon as Yamamoto Hirota spoke, he saw the cold eyes of Wing Captain Itanishi Kazuyoshi at him, so even if he was angry, he could only keep his mouth shut helplessly.
"Yours go on."
"It is definitely not simple for this group of Zhina mountain bandits entrenched on Wufeng Mountain, otherwise, with the strength of the Okano brigade, how could they be easily defeated."
"Hmm!"
Itanishi Yiliangruo nodded in particular.
"He believes that it is very likely that the mountain bandits on Wufeng Mountain have been controlled by the Chinese military in advance; Maybe now there are no bandits on the mountain, but an army.
And this branch of the army will definitely not be simple, whether it is its equipment or its combat effectiveness, it is far above the ordinary branch army, otherwise, how could they defeat our Imperial Japanese Army so easily? ”
"What do you mean?"
Itashi Kazura seemed to think of something, and couldn't help frowning.
"On Wufeng Mountain, it is very likely that there is a well-equipped country of China. Army, they can quietly annihilate all the Okano Brigade, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, perhaps one of the five main forces of China. ”
Itanishi Kazura fell into deep thought when he heard this, not only him, but also the rest of the little devil officers, and even Yamamoto Hirota, who saw that Nojiri Shoji was not pleasing to the eye, surprisingly did not open his mouth to fight. Because although he is arrogant, he is not stupid, and he has also realized the seriousness of this matter.
If you are as careless as the Okano Brigade and kill the enemy directly without the slightest preparation, it is very likely that you will follow in the footsteps of the Okano Brigade.
Even if we can win, we will pay a terrible price.
"Go on!"
"Hay!"
Nojiri Shoji nodded, and then continued: "I think that we should send scouts to find out the situation first, and after we are fully prepared, it is not too late to attack them. ”
"Well, your analysis is not wrong, it's just that yesterday I already made a military order in front of His Excellency the General, if it drags on, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to His Excellency the General."
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, Wufeng Village is not far from Yongcheng, but it is only a few tens of miles, and we will set off early tomorrow morning, and we are sure that we will collect enough information within one day, and it will not be too late for us to attack it again."
Itanishi Kazura lowered his head and groaned, and after a while, he finally raised his head, swept his gaze over the people present, and asked, "Do you have any objections to Nojiri-kun's proposal?" ”
"I'm no different!"
"Good!"
"Nojiri-kun!"
"Hay!"
"The task of scouting enemy intelligence, mine will be handed over to you!"
"Hay! I will do my best to complete the task assigned to me by the Captain! ”
Nojiri Shoji stood up and saluted the captain of the wing, Ichiyoshi Itanishi, with a standard military salute, and then shouted loudly.
"Yo Xi!" Itanishi Kazura nodded with satisfaction, also stood up from his seat, and shouted: "Dismiss!" ”
"Hay!"
