Chapter 335: Before the Great War

Okamura Ninji knew Fujiwara Hideaki's background and still recognized his battle plan, but he was a little disappointed in his experience and said, "Fujiwara Daisa! A good commander can predict the opponent's intentions in advance! ”

"What does the commander mean is that Qi Rui could have thought that I would do this?" Fujiwara Hideaki was stunned,

"I just said maybe! So you have to be prepared for this! ”

"Hey! Commander, rest assured, I will make the battle plan more perfect! ”

"Fujiwara Daisa! This time, I asked the 1st Division of the 6th Division and the 1st Division of the 27th Division to fight with you! You have to work well with them! ”

The 6th Division, which belonged to the 11th Group Army, had also arrived around Wuhan, and Okamura Ningji decided to let this brave division go to exterminate Qi Rui and his wolf-headed army.

"Oh! Is it the 6th Division!? "Of course, Fujiwara Hideaki also likes to work with an army that can fight,

"Yes, General Shiro Inaba and General Masaharu Honma are already waiting for us! Follow me to meet them! ”

"Hey!" Fujiwara Hideaki has not officially fought a war in China since he started, and the first war will be with the famous Sixth Division, and he is still a little excited at the moment.

Although the current division commander of the Sixth Division, Shiro Inaba, is not as famous as the former division commander Toshio Tani, the Sixth Division is very capable of fighting, which is known to everyone.

"I've kept you waiting!" Okamura Ninji took Fujiwara Hideaki to the conference room and said apologetically to the few officers present,

Division commanders Shiro Inaba and Masaharu Honma, Chief of Staff Kazuho Shimono, Brigade Commanders Tokutaro Shisai and Mitsuru Ushijima all stood up and shouted in unison: "Hello Commander! ”

Okamura Ninji motioned for everyone to sit down and asked, "This is Fujiwara Hideaki Daisa!" Now stationed in Chizhou City, I told you before that the first thing I will do after capturing Wuhan is to exterminate Qi Rui and his wolf-headed army! Have you read all the information? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander! Is this Qi Rui really so powerful? Shiro Inaba asked,

"Yes! In front of you is all his information, we won't talk about what he did before, but during the Battle of Wuhan, he first severely damaged the 106th Division, and then severely damaged the 116th Division in Jiuhua Mountain, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Head Army is not comparable to the ordinary Chinese army! Okamura Ninji said,

"The 106th Division is simply a disgrace to our empire!" Three times almost wiped out, Ushijima Man said with great contempt,

"It says that Qi Rui also captured Shimizu Kishige and Uemura Yunari alive! If it weren't for Fujiwara Daisa, I'm afraid the two would have been martyred, is this true? Tokutaro asked with a look of disdain,

"Let's not talk about the 106th and 116th divisions, I mean, please don't underestimate Qi Rui and his wolf-headed army!" Okamura Ninji said,

"Even less than 5,000 people can almost completely annihilate the 116th Division, almost 10,000 people! This Qi Rui is indeed not simple! Shimono Ichiho Dasa said,

"Humph! No matter how powerful it is, it's a pig! If you meet me Ushijima, I'll cut off his head with my own hands! Ushijima said disdainfully,

Ushijima Mitsuru led his team to capture a fruit heavy artillery brigade and made a great contribution, and Okamura Ninji praised him just now, because he was not the commander of this encirclement and suppression operation, so he didn't say anything, and said to the officers present: "Everyone, let Fujiwara Osa tell him about his battle plan first!" ”

Fujiwara Hideaki explained his battle plan in detail, and then said, "Please also ask your seniors for advice!" ”

Inaba Shiro asked, "Your three-way attack style is simple and direct, but how do you know that Qi Rui will be waiting in place?" ”

"General! I will take my wing into the mountain with great fanfare first, I think if Qi Rui knows that there is only one wing of me, he will definitely want to annihilate us, what I have to do is to attract Qi Rui's army firmly, and you will encircle them through these three directions! ”

"Fujiwara Daisa's battle plan is still feasible, based on my research on Qi Rui, he shouldn't let go of the Fujiwara Wing who entered the mountain!" Okamura Ninji said,

"But his previous tactics were all sports warfare! I won't have a direct firefight with you at all! Masaharu Honma said,

Okamura Ninji said: "I think he did this because of the huge disparity in his strength, so he ate it bite by bite!" But now he has four or five thousand men, which is definitely the superior force against the Fujiwara United, and their weapons are all from our Great Japanese Empire, so I think whoever it is, they will choose to ambush! ”

Fujiwara Hideaki added: "Yes! I've studied the terrain, and Qi Rui is most likely coming to ambush us in this Yellow Tooth Ridge! Of course, this is just my guess, but no matter where Qi Rui ambushes us, we will desperately drag them down, so as soon as our side fires, you can quickly close the circle from these three roads! When the time comes, they won't be able to leave if they want to! ”

Fujiwara Hideaki pointed to the map to explain, and several people here also understood that his plan was feasible, because as long as there was an exchange of fire, with their own movement speed, they would definitely be able to quickly form an encirclement of the wolf-headed army, and the wolf-headed army would be trapped in the Yellow Mountain at that time.

"But how can you guarantee that Qi Rui knows about our army in advance, you must know that our actions are not small!"

"As far as I know, Qi Rui and they shouldn't have established an intelligence network yet, so I don't think he will know about our troop movements!"

"You're so sure!?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I will send a ship to send you to the outskirts of Chizhou! You don't need me to teach you how to hide this! Okamura Ninji said,

"Good! Then do it! Shiro Inaba said,

Okamura Ninji said to Masaharu Honma: "General Masaharu Honma! This time you're going to send two wings to the battle! ”

"Hey! But my wing is not yet a member! "After the Battle of Wuhan was fought, the 27th Division also suffered a lot of casualties.

Okamura Ninji said, "I know this! I'll let the 6th Division send three wings over! ”

The 6th Division is a type A division, with a total of two brigades and four infantry wings, while the 27th Division has only three infantry wings, and it is still composed of the Chinese garrison army as the backbone, and its combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the 6th Division.

"Hey!" Masaharu Honma takes the order,

Okamura Ninji said to Shiro Inaba: "Commander of the Inaba Division! Which three wings are you going to send over? ”

Shiro Inaba looked at the brigade commanders, Tokutaro Shikai and Mitsuru Ushijima, and asked, "What do you see?" ”

"Then let the 13th, 45th and 47th wings pass! Because the 23 Wing has not yet arrived! Tokutaro Shikai said,

"Yes! I have no opinion! But this time I'm going to follow, I want to see what this Qi Rui is doing! Ushijima said,

"Oh well! This time, let's let Major General Ushijima Mitsuru and Chief of Staff Kazuho Shimono go over together! Shiro Inaba said,

"Then it's decided! I'll give you a contact ship right away! Get ready! Okamura Ninji said,
