Chapter 870 - Forming a Mobile Force

"Your Excellency Commander, I'm sorry for the matter of the independent mixed second brigade and the independent garrison, the North China Imperial Army troops need to be retrained, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army have indeed brought us a certain degree of blow, but we do not have a high level of understanding of the Eighth Route Army, some imperial generals think that the Eighth Route Army is vulnerable, while some imperial generals are too afraid of the Eighth Route Army, especially the troops of the Honorary Second Division, which needs to be adjusted immediately."

Ishihara saluted Shouichi Terauchi, and he said with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face.

Even in front of the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, Ishihara was not restrained at all, and he obviously expressed his disappointment with the Japanese army in North China.

The expression on Terauchi Shouichi's face became extremely embarrassed, and when Ishihara Waner said to his face that the Japanese army in North China was insufficient, Terauchi Shouichi was naturally unhappy in his heart.

If it were other Japanese generals who said in front of Terauchi Shouichi that the Japanese army in North China was insufficient, Terauchi Shouichi would definitely be angry.

But in the face of such a strange person as Ishihara Waner, even if he said it to his face, Terauchi Shouichi couldn't say anything, he could only listen quietly.

"Ishihara-kun, judging from the current situation, will we have the troops of the second division of Sun Weiguo's honor in Wutai County?" Shouichi Terauchi looked at Ishihara and said.

"Your Excellency Commander, although now the independent mixed second brigade and independent garrison have been hit hard, but our main force has not suffered any blows, and since the start of the war, we have captured many counties, we have an advantage in this point, once the 21st Division and other troops enter Wutai County, then we will have an even greater advantage, as long as we first encircle and annihilate the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honor Second Division, then the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the troops of the 120th Division will not be worried, but Your Excellency Commander, Now we have to organize mobile troops, although we are now successively defeating the troops of the 120th Division and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, they will still pose a threat to our supply lines. ”

Ishihara Wan'er looked at Terauchi Shouichi, and he said with a solemn expression on his face.

Sun Weiguo wanted to attack the Japanese army's supply lines, but Ishihara also expected this, and Ishihara now put forward his own opinion on this matter.

Shouichi Terauchi nodded, he looked at Shouichi Terauchi with an expectant expression on his face.

He believed in Ishihara, and he knew that as long as Ishihara made a plan himself, then the troops would definitely be able to win.

For Ishihara Waner, Terauchi Shouichi believes very much.

"Ishihara-kun, the Shina troops are definitely trying to attack our supply lines, what kind of troops should we transfer to form a mobile force?" Yamashita Fengfumi, chief of staff of the North China Front, looked at Ishihara Wan'er, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Cavalry wings, cavalry units, and tank units of various divisions and regiments were drawn to form mobile units. Focusing on attacking the troops of the Eighth Route Army, the troops of the Honorary Second Division will naturally not send troops to attack our supply lines, and if the troops of the Eighth Route Army are dispatched by the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the 120 th Division of the Eighth Route Army, we will have an absolute advantage in dealing with them. ”

Ishihara pointed to the supply lines of the various divisions of the Japanese army, and he said with a firm expression on his face.

He expected that the Eighth Route Army would definitely attack the Japanese supply line, so he made this suggestion now.

The 1st Division and other units all had tank and cavalry units directly under them, and these units combined could form a powerful mobile force.

Ishihara Waner planned to use them to deal with the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 120th Division that were attacking and harassing the supply line, which showed that Ishihara Guaner still had a certain ability.

"Immediately follow Ishihara-kun's requirements to handle it, Ishihara-kun, please be sure to sit here and command, I believe that the North China Imperial Army under your command will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army's honorary second division, if we are lucky enough, we can even completely annihilate the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 120th Division."

Shouichi Terauchi patted Ishihara on the shoulder with his right hand, and he said with a serious face.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely assist the North China Imperial Army to defeat the troops of the Eighth Route Army of China." Ishihara immediately replied with an oath.

The orders of the North China Front soon began to be conveyed, and the troops of the 1st and 114th Divisions of the Japanese Army immediately began to establish contact after receiving orders from the North China Front Headquarters.

At present, the 1st Division has repelled the attack of the Honorable 5th Regiment and the Unknown Regiment here, while the 1st Brigade and 15th Brigade of the 1st Division have also reassembled near Yangbai Township.

The two brigades began to stand by in the area of Yangbai Township, while the 7th Wing of the Japanese Independent Field Heavy Artillery and the 1st Division of the Mountain Artillery Wing began to re-establish artillery positions.

Although the North China Front Army Headquarters issued an order for the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division to meet in Baijiazhuang Town, the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division did not want to meet immediately, and they all had their own problems.

The troops of the 1st Division are currently dealing with the troops of the Unknown Regiment, while the troops of the 114th Division are facing the troops of the Honorary First Regiment, and it is difficult for these two divisions to get rid of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of them, especially the troops of the First Division, they have suffered losses at the hands of the Unknown Regiment, and the First Division wants to launch a retaliatory attack on the Unknown Regiment.

Yuanping County, the assembly place of the troops of the Honorary Fifth Regiment.

Ge Haifeng, commander of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, Chen Guitang, deputy head of the regiment, and Chen Yang, chief of staff, gathered together, and the three of them were discussing the battle plan at this time.

Sun Weiguo's order to them was to contain the troops of the Japanese First Division as much as possible, and Sun Weiguo hoped that they would be able to temporarily transfer the troops of the First Division out of Wutai County.

It is very difficult to transfer nearly 30,000 troops of the First Division out of Wutai County, and Ge Haifeng and other regimental leaders naturally know this.

However, for Ge Haifeng and the others, they knew what Sun Weiguo was expecting when he issued such an order, and they knew even more about how much pressure the various departments of the Honorary Second Division of Wutai County were currently facing.

"Regiment commander, we just got the news that the 26th and 109th divisions of the Japanese army in Dai County broke through the blocking position of the 120th Division, and at present, these two divisions have all entered Wutai County, and the Japanese army currently operating in Wutai County has four divisions and regiments, but the troops of the Fourth Regiment of Honor have completely annihilated the independent garrison, which is also good news, but the various departments are currently under great pressure, and they may have to face the attack of the four divisions of the Japanese army."

Chief of Staff Chen Yang began to introduce the situation in Wutai County, and Chen Yang's face was full of worry.

Four divisions and regiments, such a strong force to deal with the Honorary Second Division, the pressure on the various units of the Honorary Second Division can be imagined.

"Now it seems that there is no way for the division commander to give us orders, and the pressure on them is too great." Deputy head Chen Guitang said solemnly
