Chapter 41: Ginger is still old and spicy

Horibe Ryuichi said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the affirmation of Your Excellency the Division Commander, I feel that our battle plan must be revised!" ”

"Why?" Bao Katsushou asked with a frown. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In the afternoon, while the troops were camping, I took people to check the defense camp of Tuba Road, and to be honest, I was stunned by the fortifications of the people." Ryuichi Horibe said with a sigh.

"Nani? Shocked? Bao Keshou was also surprised, and he didn't know what fortifications could shock the captain of the dignified field brigade.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, Montenegro is a long mountain with dense forests, although Montenegro is not very high, but the road up the mountain from the front is very dangerous. On the east and west sides are Qi Qi cliffs, smooth as a knife and axe, and it is impossible for ordinary people to go up at all. To the north and south were dense woods, and although I didn't go inside, I saw a lot of bunkers and traps from outside, and I also learned that entering from the mountains and forests had to pass through the same entrance we had last time. ”

"What's so surprising about this, how many big cities in China we have conquered along the way, and even Nanjing, which is known as impregnable, has not been captured by the Imperial Japanese Army in less than a week?" Chick Nakasa said disdainfully.

"This is different from Nanjing, although Nanjing's fortifications are strong, but the terrain is relatively open, and our large army can be fully deployed. But here is different, the people of China have obviously taken this into account when building the fortifications, they built the fortifications a little bit inward, so that the combat space left for the imperial army is only a few tens of meters wide, we can invest at most one squadron at a time, and Tubalu has built at least a lot of pillboxes here, as long as they have enough ammunition, even if all the soldiers are filled in, I am afraid they may not be able to take Montenegro. ”

Then Horibe Ryuichi continued: "In addition, you don't know if you have seen the terrain to enter the entrance to the Black Mountain, the cunning Shina people have cleared all the obstacles around the mountain pass, so that the attacking imperial army has not the slightest cover, and all of them will be directly exposed to the fire of the Dirt Eight Road, so this battle is by no means as simple as you imagined. ”

Bao Katsushou nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yo Xi, what Horibe-kun said is very reasonable. In fact, His Excellency the Commander attaches great importance to this Tubalu army, and it can pull up so many people in just two months, and it is still so combative, such an enemy should definitely not be underestimated. ”

Speaking of this, Bao Katsushou looked around at the officers in front of him, and then continued: "Any soldier of the Imperial Army is an elite who has spent a lot of resources in the empire to cultivate, and we must not fight hard with the lives of our soldiers against the enemy's strong fortifications, so we must revise the previous battle plan!" ”

After saying that, Katsutoshi turned his gaze to Ryuichi Horibe and motioned for him to continue.

Ryuichi Horibe stood up and pointed to the map and said: "Although Montenegro is well fortified and easy to defend and difficult to attack, such terrain is extremely bad for the Imperial Army, which will make our heavy equipment useless, especially the tank troops, as well as the heavy artillery units, which can't even be driven here." But again, this terrain is not entirely favorable for the Chinese people. If we had enough time, we could have trapped them here. I think that the daily supply of thousands of people will be an astronomical amount, and there is no complete logistics support, at most they will run down the mountain by themselves in a month, and it will not be easy to destroy them when the time comes. ”

Bao Katsuju said: "Horibe-kun, the time given to us by the commander is very short, and besides, we don't know how much food is in it, we can't gamble!" ”

Ryuichi Horibe continued: "In this case, we must come into contact with those dark forts on the Tsuchihachi Road before we can launch an attack, but when I checked the terrain just now, I found that most of the bunkers on the Tsuchihachi Road are semi-underground concrete structures, and ordinary artillery has little effect on such fortifications, even the Type 90 field guns equipped by the Imperial Army are not good. Therefore, it is recommended to ask the aviation for reinforcements, and only the kind of heavy aerial bombs that fall from high altitudes can pose a threat to the bunker. ”

Bao Keshou frowned and said: "The aviation regiment is now attacking WH, if you want to mobilize, it will be very troublesome, and you have to ask for aviation reinforcements to deal with a Tubalu, I'm afraid Your Excellency the commander will not agree, but for the safety of the lives of my soldiers, I will still give it a try, but please don't expect too much." ”

Horibe Ryuichi said again: "If we can't request reinforcements from aviation, we can also take the method of earth work and carry out excavation, as long as the trench is dug within fifty meters of the bunker in China, then the threat of those fortifications to the Imperial Army will be much smaller, and the casualties will probably be much smaller!" ”

"Yo Xi, Horibe-kun is worthy of being a rare tactician in the imperial army! Okay, tomorrow we will fight according to the way you say, and the meeting will be dismissed! Bao Katsushou said loudly.

"Hay!"
