Chapter 1201 Suspicious Soldiers' Plans

Almost anyone who has led troops to battle knows that there must be an army marching rapidly under this yellow dragon, formed by the yellow dust raised by infantry or transport vehicles.

Some generals in the island army suddenly exclaimed, I am afraid that a large number of national army troops are driving away from Huainan at full speed, otherwise such a big posture cannot be formed.

But Yanagawa Heisuke is categorically sure that this must be Jiang Haoran's suspicious array again, and its purpose is undoubtedly to divert the locust army on the Mengcheng defense line, and now their attack on the Mengcheng and Bozhou defense lines is very obvious, and the conditions are also in place, how can it be possible to turn to Huainan again, the locust army is not a pig, and he will not fall for his plan if he says anything.

Yanagawa Heisuke probably never dreamed that Jiang Haoran would tell him the facts the next day that he was a pig, and that he, the pig, had not even reported this information to the general headquarters, so that the only opportunity to change the tide of the battle was missed in his hands.

Time flew by, and it was about five o'clock in the afternoon.

The former enemy headquarters of the island army in Jinan.

The entire outer defense line of Xuzhou is full of smoke, and as the brain of the island army, it is undoubtedly the busiest.

Commander Okamura Ningji was even more busy, he had just put down the defense plan of the Mengcheng defense line, and received the latest progress of the campaign from Hefei, and then it was the offensive plan of Chaoxian.

"Say, what's the matter?" Okamura Ningji rubbed his temples without raising his head.

The staff officer said: "Major General Sadao Ganda, commander of the 110th Division in Huainan, reported that the troops of the Special Operations Division were suddenly discovered by Maoji, five kilometers away from Huainan. ”

Okamura Ningji's expression froze, and he looked sideways at the staff officer and exclaimed, "Did the telegram say how many people were found?" ”

The staff officer glanced at the telegram in his hand and replied, "About a brigade." ”

Okamura Ninji breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been burdened, walked quickly to the combat sand table, found the name of Maoji, looked at it for a long time, ordered the staff officer to call back, and ordered Sadao Dry Field to pay close attention to the actions of the special operations division, strictly guard the defensive line, and not take the initiative to attack.

The staff officer turned to leave, and Ishihara Wan'er, who heard the news, came over and said suspiciously: "Jiang Haoran won't really prepare to fight Huainan, right?" ”

Okamura Ningji glanced at him and said: "It shouldn't be, I think this is still Jiang Haoran's suspicious plan, Jiang Haoran can't not know that I have transferred a division from the Tenth Army to Huainan, plus the strength of the 110th Division, two divisions, how can he fight Huainan with a brigade?" It's clear that the deception failed, and now I'm ready to put on a posture to lure me. ”

Ishihara thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then they may attack the Mengcheng defense line tomorrow." ”

Okamura Ningji said: "If you think of it, Jiang Haoran will force us again, hoping that we can transfer part of the strength of the Tenth Army, whether it is successful or not, we will definitely attack tomorrow." ”

After the two unified their thinking, they immediately put themselves into the deployment plan of the defense line of Mengcheng and Bozhou, and they all reached the most critical moment, they hoped that there would be no omission and not give Jiang Haoran any chance.

Half an hour later, an urgent telegram came from Huainan again, and the national air force arrived, and a large number of fighters and bombers took advantage of the visibility in the evening to turn around and bomb the Huainan defense line intensively, and the fortifications and important military points suffered unprecedented heavy damage.

However, Okamura Ningji still firmly believed that this was just Jiang Haoran's old smoke, and the reply to the Huainan defenders was still a strict defense, restoring the destroyed fortifications as soon as possible, and waiting to see what happened.

At about 6 o'clock, Huainan's telegram came again, this time it was a direct attack by the special operations division, and the troops of a brigade attacked Huainan's frontal defense line in a grand manner, and the attack was very fierce, and the fortifications destroyed by aerial bombs on the defense line had not yet had time to be repaired, and they were suddenly attacked, causing huge casualties to the locusts army.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, Jiang Haoran is too deceitful!" Okamura Ninji danced wildly in the air with his hands, and his face was extremely hideous.

Kinoshita Yong on the side responded: "Yes, it's too rampant, don't give him a lesson, he really thinks that the locust army is made of dough, let him rub the circle and pinch it, old sir, I think we can't be beaten passively, we should take the initiative to attack, since we know that Jiang Haoran's purpose is not in Huainan, we can order the 315th Division to outflank them from behind them, eat his brigade, and see how they still show their teeth and claws?" ”

Okamura Ningji's expression was dazed, and he seemed to be a little moved, but Ishihara Wan'er on the side shouted: "Okamura-kun, Kinoshita-kun, you can't help it, in case Jiang Haoran's purpose is really Huainan, that is to say, this brigade in front of him is just a disguise, there are more troops behind them, and if the 315th Division is transferred out at this time, then it will directly fall into his plan, and Huainan will be irretrievable." ”

Okamura Ningji frowned and was silent, and after a long time, he nodded slightly and said: "Ishihara-kun is right, we can't easily dispatch, Jiang Haoran is scheming, we have suffered too much loss in his hands, as long as the two divisions in Huainan can't hold out, even if they want to attack Huainan by surprise, it is not an easy thing, no matter how bad it is, with these two divisions and regiments, it is not a problem to hold on until reinforcements arrive." ”

Kinoshita Yong seemed to be a little unwilling, and said hurriedly: "But Jiang Haoran is too ......."

"Kinoshita, don't say any more." Okamura Ninji raised his palm and interrupted Kinoshita's words and said: "Our main purpose at present is to hold Xuzhou, nothing else is important, there is a chance to clean up Jiang Haoran, at present, the Kwantung Army is breaking through in Siberia, and the Soviet Red Army has lost its armor and armor, and the German army will soon capture Moscow, and the time for the Japanese and German Soviet Union to meet will not be too far away. ”

"Yo Xi!"

Okamura Ningji's words suddenly seemed to give everyone a shot of chicken blood, and just now they were angry and unwilling, and their eyes immediately lit up with joy.

……

At about eight o'clock that night, Wuhan camped, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.

Li Zongjian, Bai Chongxi, Jiang Haoran, He Yingjing, Zhou Zhirou and Chen Chen, who had just arrived from northern Anhui, as well as the two brothers Chen Li and Chen Guo and the heads of other three major consortia, gathered together.

The leaders and brains of the party-state, government, and military have all arrived, and naturally the meeting was not a military meeting, but a discussion on how to sell the Zhan Tiger jet fighter at a good price.

This morning, an expert observation group composed of the three countries of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union arrived in Wuhan, and in the afternoon, all these experts were arranged to get on the plane and visualize the battle scene of the Zhan Tiger jet fighters in the skies over Huainan.
