The Japanese troops with the 18th Division as the main force were originally twice as large as the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army in terms of strength, and now the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army is naturally even more disparity in strength.

Like the vast majority of orthodox Japanese officers, Terauchi was a member of the "pig assault tactics." And in order to wield the power of the "pig burst tactic", the greater the superiority in troops, the better.

Because of this, Terauchi Masayi was so excited and happy when he heard Kamio Mitsutomi's analysis that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army might have divided its troops.

"Your Excellency, General, although our army is in an absolute advantage in terms of strength, the firepower of the people of China is too strong. If we continue to attack like this, even if we can defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance in the end, I am afraid that our army will have to pay a great price for casualties. Mitsumi Kamio reminded.

Unlike Terauchi Masatsuki's manic fanaticism and emotionality, Mitsutomi Kamio is relatively calm among the Japanese generals, accustomed to Western-style tactical analysis and deduction calculations.

Thinking of the powerful firepower of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, a trace of hideous and bitter hatred flashed on the face of the temple Zhengyi, and then he smiled coldly and said: "That's right, we can't let the artillery regiment of the people of China continue to be arrogant like this, and all the artillery of the people of China must be destroyed!" Kamio-kun, a new batch of artillery will soon arrive with the ammunition supply. You may not know that in order to ensure the victory of this battle, the Tokyo base camp specially allocated 1o Meiji Type 38 howitzers to us. ”

"What, there are even 1o Meiji Type 38 15omm heavy guns? Great, that's great! Kamio Mitsutomi was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly, who had always been calm and calm.

Heavy artillery, this is a heavy howitzer with a caliber of 15omm and a range of up to 68oo meters, which is definitely a heavy weapon that can determine the outcome of the war.

"In front of the Meiji Type 38 heavy artillery. Those cannons of the Chinese people are ridiculous toys, and it doesn't take a few shots to turn them into broken metal! Terauchi Masashi seemed to be very disdainful of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, as if he was not the one who jumped to anger because of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army just now.

Kamio Mitsutomi said excitedly: "Since the new batch of artillery is about to arrive, Your Excellency General, I suggest that the offensive be postponed for the first time to avoid excessive casualties." Wait for the artillery to arrive. After the sudden launch of artillery bombardment and the destruction of the artillery regiment of the Chinese people in one fell swoop, our army will launch a full-scale attack again, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in one fell swoop! ”

In these attacks, the Japanese army really suffered a lot from the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, and the number of casualties rose sharply.

Therefore, although Masaki Terauchi longed for the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, which was close at hand, to shreds, he still used reason to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. Let the people of China be arrogant for a while, and when a new batch of artillery arrives and the detachment in Horiuchi also successfully captures Jiaoxian, I want to see how the people of China will cry? ”

"Calculate the time, the Horichi detachment should also arrive in Jiaoxian County now, I'm afraid that the people in Jiaoxian County will be stupid." Kamio Mitsutomi smiled lightly, it was his handiwork to let the Horiuchi detachment raid Jiaoxian, and he had always been very complacent with this battle plan.

Mention this. Zhengyi in the temple smiled contemptuously and said, "Wang Mo, that stupid guy, actually divided his troops to return to Jiaoxian. Vainly trying to stick to his logistics base, do you really think that his troops can fly back to Jiaoxian in such a short time? ”

Kamio Mitsutomi and Terauchi Masashi are both officers who have served in the 6th Army for many years, so they naturally understand how fast the troops can march in a hurry, especially the hot weapons troops that must carry guns and ammunition to carry heavy loads, it is simply impossible to rush back to Jiaoxian from Jimo in such a short time, unless the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army can fly.

Probably because he felt that victory was expected. Kamio Mitsutomi also echoed and smiled: "When Wang Mo led the troops to Jiaoxian, but what he saw was the Horinai detachment that had already captured Jiaoxian, I think the expression on his face must be quite exciting. ”

During the conversation between the two, it seemed that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army had been classified as a must-lose, and it was only a matter of time before the Japanese army won in a big way.

But. It's a pity that Mitsutomi Kamio, who is good at deduction and calculation, did not guess accurately this time, and Fumijiro Horiuchi was still leading his troops to crawl like a snail on the official road to Jiaoxian.

On the other side, the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army led by Wang Mo did not march slowly and hurriedly on the road as they imagined, but successfully arrived in Jiaoxian at dawn the next day.

After ordering all units of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to enter the barracks to rest, Wang Mo took the logistics troops left behind in Jiaoxian County and Zhang Wei and other high-level officers to the legendary military warehouse where a large number of weapons and equipment were stored.

"Isn't this the material warehouse of the original Jiaoxian garrison regiment? Here is a large number of weapons and equipment that the commander has stockpiled long ago, how did I not know? Yan Jin, director of the logistics department of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, was puzzled.

Most of the other officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army were also full of doubts, this warehouse was full of dust all around, and at a glance, they knew that it had been useless for a while, and it didn't look like they were stockpiling a large number of weapons and equipment.

"You guys wait outside for a while, and I'll go in and take samples." Wang Mo raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to follow him, and then walked into the warehouse alone.

After closing the door of the warehouse, Wang Mo started the industrial machine and began to quickly purchase all kinds of weapons and equipment, such as Mauser 1989 rifles, Madsen light machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, German-made grenades, rifle bullets and machine gun bullets, various caliber guns and shells, and so on.

The blue light swept over, and boxes of various weapons and equipment with new tiles appeared in the warehouse one after another, and soon they filled most of the space in the warehouse.

After the purchase, Wang Mo reopened the door of the warehouse and let the officers outside enter the warehouse.

When they saw the mountains of weapons and equipment in the warehouse, all the officers, especially Yan Jin, the head of the logistics department, were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that there were really so many weapons and equipment in this abandoned warehouse.

Zhang Weiwei visually estimated the number of these weapons and equipment, and it was definitely more than enough to arm the second division, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although he believed the commander's words very much, the matter of weapons and equipment was related to the life and death of nearly 10,000 officers and men of the Second Division.

"Director Yan, immediately organize the people of the Logistics Department to carry these weapons and equipment to the barracks, and then distribute them to the departments of the Second Division." Wang Mo ordered Yan Jin.

Yan Jin, who opened his mouth wide in disbelief, heard Wang Mo's order. Only then did he come back to his senses and respond, "Oh...... Oh...... Okay, Commander, I'll go and organize the manpower to carry it right away. ”

From time to time, the officers of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army looked at the newly shiny weapons and equipment in the warehouse, and they were all happy and colorful, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were complete. There was plenty of ammunition, and confidence in the coming big war suddenly doubled.

Subsequently, Wang Mo, who was exhausted after driving for most of the day, did not go to rest, but seized the time to command the temporarily recruited people to build fortifications in various parts of Jiaoxian County, and evacuated the people of Jiaoxian County near the city wall.

The ancient city wall of Jiaoxian is about 1o meters high, and it is not a straight square shape, but it is built according to the topography, which seems to be curved and curved, and it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations. If it weren't for the traitor Zhao Baoyuan who took refuge with the Japanese, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have to pay a heavy price in casualties before it was possible to capture this fortified city.

Now the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is far superior to the Horiuchi Detachment in terms of strength and firepower, and it is defending the fortified city, so I really can't find a reason to be invincible in this battle.

Of course, Wang Mo didn't just want to repel the Japanese army and win the battle to defend Jiaoxian. He took such a big risk and led his troops back to Jiaoxian with all kinds of hard work, for only one purpose. That's the annihilation of the Horiuchi detachment!

It was not until the afternoon that the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army completed its rest. After lunch, they entered the positions of various positions on the city wall and waited for more than half an hour before the detachment arrived belatedly outside Jiaoxian County.

Looking at the tired Japanese officers and soldiers through the binoculars, the corners of Wang Mo's mouth raised slightly, and it could be seen that the Horiuchi detachment was tossed a lot by the bombing of the flying brigade along the way. Even if the casualties are not particularly large. Physical and psychological exhaustion will inevitably greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Horiuchi detachment.

Fumijiro Horiuchi looked at the county town of Jiaoxian, which seemed to be a little too quiet and the city gates were wide open, frowned, and muttered, "Could it be that all the people in China have run away?" ”

Hachiro Yamashita, the chief of staff, said with certainty: "Your Excellency, it seems that these timid Shina people have all run out, and they don't have the courage to face the Japanese Imperial Army at all. I think. Our army can directly enter the county seat of Jiaoxian County and let the imperial sun flag flutter in the city! ”

According to intelligence, there are not many left-behind troops of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in Jiaoxian, and it is not impossible to evacuate early.

Fumijiro Horiuchi thought for a moment and said, "Yamashita-kun, it's better to be cautious, let an infantry squadron enter the county seat to investigate first." If there is no ambush by the people of Xianzhi, the large army will be stationed in Jiaoxian again. ”

Fumijiro Horiuchi's order was quickly conveyed, and an infantry squadron approached the county seat of Jiaoxian while cautiously guarding with guns.

Seeing that the Japanese army sent a reconnaissance force, Zhang Wei hammered the city wall in annoyance, and scolded unwillingly: "Damn, the Orientals are really careful enough, and they even have to send a reconnaissance force in this case." Commander, what should I do, the reconnaissance force of the Orientals is about to enter the city, do you want to kill them? ”

"Of course, I want to kill them, but I can't expose too many troops now, so as not to scare little Japan away! If the order is given, at most two companies of men can be allowed to shoot, and one machine gun can be fired, and absolutely no artillery can be fired. Wang Mo said in a deep voice, what he thought about the most was not how to defeat and annihilate the Horiuchi detachment, but how not to scare away the fat that came to his mouth.

The infantry squadron of the Japanese army slowly walked into the county seat of Jiaoxian County, looking around vigilantly, for fear that countless Chinese ** people would suddenly appear and shoot at them.

It's really a good spirit that is not bad, these Japanese officers and soldiers were thinking so, and suddenly they heard a shouting order not far away: "Fight!" ”

Bang bang

Suddenly the gunfire rang out, and the infantry in the front row of the Japanese army was immediately knocked down.

"Shoot back, shoot back!"

Suddenly ambushed, the Japanese only began to mess up for a while, and then launched a counterattack under the command of the officer.

There was a lot of gunfire in the prefecture, and Fumijiro Horiuchi was not only not worried, but was greatly relieved, and when he heard the not too dense gunfire in the city, he laughed very easily. (To be continued......)
