Chapter 782: On the eve of the decisive battle

The land shrouded in darkness in front of them became a devil in the eyes of the Japanese army, who could be responsible for it at any time, and none of them knew whether they would have a chance to stand up as long as they walked out of the city gate and stepped on it.

The mines brought these Japanese troops were not only as simple as killing a few people, but also a deep fear of the land they thought they had conquered!

It's not terrible to be blown up, it's scary to not know when and where to be blown up!

"Your Excellency, what should I do now?"

Thinking of this, looking at the frightened faces of the soldiers around him, the eyes of many Japanese officers were red with grief and indignation.

"This is a long way, it is too despicable, too shameless!"

Kenji Dohihara scolded stupidly, and then gritted his teeth and ordered: "The remaining war horses have just come out to mine and clear all the areas around the city, and the trenches must be dug before dawn!" ”

As soon as they heard the use of war horses, all the generals and Japanese soldiers showed painful looks on their faces, everyone knew that every war horse was selected from countless horses, and then spent countless hours training and feeding in order to become a real war horse!

It can be said that every war horse that can go to the battlefield consumes much more materials and energy than these Japanese soldiers themselves!

It is also because of this that even though these Japanese troops were trapped in Zhongmu for nearly a month and had to kill war horses to relieve the food crisis, they still saved more than 100 war horses, not only because of the value of these war horses themselves, but also because in this era of inconvenient transportation, the rapid operation of the cavalry wing is often a sharp weapon for the 14th Division to shrink and rely on.

But now, because of Lu Yuan and his Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, not only did they make the city a miasma, but also planted mines outside the city gate, so that they had to use precious war horses to mine them.

Even many people secretly swore in their hearts that one day when the imperial army invaded Trojan County, they would make sure that Trojan County would not grow any grass and leave no chickens and dogs!

After arranging these, Kenji Dohihara really couldn't bear to see the tragic situation of those war horses being blown up, so he went back to the city directly and urgently contacted the military department.

Now that the war has not yet begun, Lu Yuan has already laid so many backhands in ambush here, he is sure that once the battle starts, Lu Yuan's bastard will definitely have more vicious plans, and he must not sit back!

The call from the military headquarters was immediately connected, and Kenji Dohihara asked to speak directly to General Shouichi Terauchi.

"What, has the situation gotten to this extent?"

As soon as he heard that Zhongmu Nei and Wai were actually quietly made such a big move by Lu Yuan's people, Terauchi Shouichi was angry, but he actually had a premonition in his heart, after all, in the eyes of the Japanese army, Lu Yuan was too treacherous and vicious, or he didn't make a move, and he was definitely the most vicious killing move, and he would not be merciful!

Lu Yuan can appear here from the station of the Sichuan Army's Independent Regiment thousands of miles away, if you want to say that this guy doesn't have a plan, these Japanese generals themselves won't believe it.

"The enemy outside the city is only a small force, and even if the mines planted have caused a lot of damage to the morale of the soldiers, they can't make too many waves!"

Kenji Dohihara reported in a solemn voice: "The terrible thing is that the dozens of damn Shina pigs in the city actually instigated those Shina refugees who are waiting for death, this group of people are completely outlaws who don't want to die, it is very troublesome to solve them, and what is even more troublesome is that the diarrhea symptoms of the soldiers are still spreading rapidly, which will greatly affect the physical strength of the soldiers, Your Excellency, I, Kenji Dohihara and all the imperial soldiers of the 14th Division, will definitely strictly abide by the military order, defend Zhongmu, even if they fight to the point of one soldier, they will continue to fight, But ask for your reinforcements, and you must be quick."

"Three days, as long as you are strong for three days, I want none of these hundreds of thousands of daring soldiers to go back alive!"

Terauchi Shouichi nodded heavily and said: "Lieutenant General Tu Feiyuan, for the glory of the empire, in order to break this damn myth of Lu Yuan, you must hold on for three days After three days, I will stand on the pile of corpses of the Chinese army and celebrate your achievements!" ”

hung up the phone, the atmosphere in the military headquarters was extremely quiet, and the solemn atmosphere of the approaching big war pressed every general a little out of breath.

This kind of atmosphere, before the decision to expand the war, in Shanghai, in Nanjing, in Xuzhou, has never appeared, because before that, all the generals firmly believed that no matter how large the number of the Chinese army, it was just a group of chickens and dogs, and the imperial army could crush it to the scum at any time!

But all this, after Lu Yuan mixed in, everyone felt heavy!

Even every senior general, even Terauchi Shouichi, sometimes feels that this battle is not the emperor's ** team facing the Zhi Na army, but Lu Yuan's alone, challenging the emperor's ** team!

Although every Japanese general itches his teeth with hatred for Lu Yuan, in their hearts, they have to admit that this guy is a genius of war, a legend far beyond Napoleon in the history of war!

When a legend is broken, it is no longer a legend, just like the once invincible Napoleon, after the defeat, he will also become a prisoner!

Terauchi Shouichi snorted coldly, looked at the map and snorted: "I don't doubt Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara's determination to hold on to Zhongmu, nor do I doubt the courage of the great imperial soldiers to serve the emperor, but the current combat effectiveness of the 14th Division, it is difficult for them to hold out for three days"

"But the surrounding troops, even the nearest 10th Brigade and the Sakagaki Division, are unlikely to arrive in the Zhongmu Theater within three days, and all we can do is to send more fighters for air support."

"It's useless, this time the Chinese army is prepared, even if our army has air superiority, it will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Chinese army"

Many generals talked about it, and they began to want to bite Lu Yuan to death again, if they didn't attack later, they didn't attack sooner, but they launched an attack at this time, which was extremely hateful!

But no matter how much they hate, they can't find a solution to the problem.

At this moment, Nishio Shouzo stood up and said: "Your Excellency, General, I mind ordering the 16th Division to withdraw from Weishi County and make a feint towards Zhongmu's flank, striving to contain a part of the strength of the Zhina Army, so that the defensive pressure of Zhongmu can be greatly reduced."

"The 16th Division is also short of food now, and the physical strength of the soldiers is greatly affected.

"That is, this method is absolutely not advisable, and when the time comes, not only the 14th Division will be in danger, but even the 16th Division will be in danger."

As soon as this statement came out, it was refuted by many generals in unison, if in peacetime, the two legions of the empire would concentrate their forces, it would definitely be a great thing, but in the current situation, it is absolutely not advisable.
