Chapter 778: The Japanese army wants to set up an ambush
Kunomura Momoyo's headquarters was set up in a village not far from Ishinomon Town, and at this time, Ikuta Kumi, the captain of the Osa Wing of the 1st Brigade Artillery Wing, and Takei Shusuke, the captain of the Osa Wing of the Tank Wing, had already arrived at the headquarters of Kunomura Momoyo in advance.
Ikuta Kumi was previously the commander of the Nakasa detachment of the artillery detachment, and after the artillery detachment was expanded into the artillery wing, Ikuta Kumi was promoted to serve as the captain of the artillery wing, because he was promoted to the rank of Osa, Ikuta Kumi was very grateful to Kunomura Momoyo, and he was obedient to Kunomura Momo.
The previous armored detachment of Morikawa Nakasa was not so lucky, he had been killed by the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and after the annihilation of the armored detachment, the Japanese army in North China officially formed a tank wing, and the captain of the tank wing, Takei Shusuke, was the younger brother of Kunomura Momoyo when he was studying in Germany, and after this time, Takei Shusuke was able to serve as the captain of the tank wing, and Kunomura Momoyo also played a very important role.
The two Wing Commanders of the 1st Mixed Combat Brigade are both very grateful to Kunomura Momoyo, and they are both determined to help Kunomura Momoyo get rid of Sun Weiguo's forces.
After a while, the sixth, seventh, and eighth captains of the three independent infantry of the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade also came to the headquarters of Momoyo Kunomura.
The three infantry captains first saluted Kunomura Momoyo, and after getting permission from Kunomura Momoyo, they sat down on their chairs one after another.
"According to the reconnaissance of the search team, Shimen Town only has a company of infantry of the Zhi Na troops, we currently occupy an absolute advantage, but we must not underestimate the Zhi Na troops, according to the information of the intelligence department and the search team, there is currently a sixth cavalry regiment in Sun Weiguo's army in Pingding County, although this sixth cavalry regiment is the number of the cavalry regiment, but in fact this is an armored regiment, so once we attack Shimen Town, then the tanks and armored vehicles of the sixth cavalry regiment are likely to be quickly reinforced."
Kunomura Momoyo stood up, he personally came to the map, he picked up the baton, pointed to the location of Ishimon Town on the map, and said in a serious tone.
As for the situation of Sun Weiguo's troops in Pingding County, Kunomura Momoyo knew very well, which was why he did not launch an attack for a long time.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our artillery wing has 24 75MM mountain guns, 12 75MM field guns, and 12 150MM howitzers have set up artillery positions, as long as the tank unit of China appears, our artillery unit will solve them all in the shortest possible time, this time our artillery wing has sufficient ammunition, and we will definitely not let the tank unit of China get away with it."
As soon as Kunomura Momoyo's words fell, Ikuta Kumi, the commander of the Osa Wing of the artillery wing, immediately stood up, and he looked at Kunomura Momoyo respectfully and said.
In order to strengthen the ability of the first brigade in the melee, the Japanese army in North China specially equipped twelve 150mm howitzers to the artillery wing of the first brigade in the melee.
Ikuta Kumi is a sharpening knife, and this time he followed Kunomura Momoyo to participate in the war, and he is ready to show his skills.
"Ikusai, Ikuta-kun, I believe that your artillery unit will achieve a good result in this operation." Kunomura Momoyo said with satisfaction.
"Next, we will launch an attack on Shimen Town, where the Eighth Route Army is stationed, at nine o'clock in the evening, the Seventh Independent Infantry Brigade, the Eighth Independent Infantry Brigade will serve as the main attack, the Sixth Independent Infantry Brigade will serve as the reserve, and the tank wing will set up an ambush near Shimen Town, once the reinforcements appear, the tank wing must annihilate all its reinforcements!"
Momoyo Kunomura pointed at the map with his baton, and he quickly gave the battle order, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." When the officers heard the order from Momoyo Kunomura, they all stood up and replied.
Japanese units began to prepare, and they prepared to launch an attack on the town of Shimenmen at night.
Pingding County, Donghui Town, Headquarters of the Sixth Army Division of Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
Political Commissar Shen Wei, Deputy Chief of Staff Sun Ziyuan, Commander of the New Second Brigade Fu Tao, and Chief of Staff of the New Second Brigade Zhu Jianwei have begun to gather together, and the four of them are standing in front of the map, with solemn expressions on their faces, and none of them took the initiative to start talking.
The Japanese army dispatched a lot of troops this time, and Shen Wei and others felt a lot of pressure, especially when Sun Weiguo was not in command, and everyone felt unprecedented pressure.
"What the hell is this little devil thinking about Momoyo Kunomura, with their current strength, they can easily take Shimen Town, but they have stayed outside Shimen Town for more than two hours, and they haven't launched an attack for a long time, what does he want to do?" Sun Ziyuan, the deputy chief of staff, looked at Shimenkou Town on the map, and said with a solemn expression.
"Kunomura Momoyo Eighty Cheng wants to attract us reinforcements to the past, a machine infantry company in Shimen Town is not their opponent at all, if they wanted to capture Shimen Town, they would have attacked a long time ago, but so far they still haven't attacked, it is obvious that they want to attack reinforcements." Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff of the New Second Brigade, expressed his views in a serious manner.
"Political commissar, Shimenkou Town is the frontier of Donghui Town and Baijing Town, if Shimenmen Town is lost, Donghui Town and Baijing Town will be directly exposed to the Japanese attack. We must immediately send troops to reinforce the town, we will first hold the town of Shimen, and then make a specific defensive strategy. ”
Fu Tao, the brigade commander of the new Second Brigade, looked at Shimenkou Town, and then his eyes looked at Shen Wei, the political commissar beside him, and he said in a solemn tone.
"Political commissar, Yin Jinshan, commander of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, sent a telegram, the armored battalion, the Jibu battalion, and the cavalry artillery battalion have been assembled, whether the 6th Cavalry Regiment will immediately reinforce Shimenkou Town to fight, and at the same time, Liang Zerui, commander of the artillery regiment, sent a telegram that the troops of the 1st Artillery Battalion are ready to shoot, and they can support Shimenkou Town at any time."
Luo Hongyi, the staff officer of the Operations Section, was left in the headquarters, and when Shen Wei and the others hesitated, Luo Hongyi walked over quickly with a telegram and said.
After Shen Wei heard Luo Hongyi's report, she had a firm expression on her face, and she looked at Fu Tao of the new Second Brigade.
"Order Yin Jinshan to immediately reinforce Shimenmen Town, but tell Yin Jinshan that when you go to Shimenmen Town, you must be careful of the Chinese and Japanese ambushes. Liang Zerui was ordered and the artillery regiment sent liaison staff officers to the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, and the 1st Artillery Battalion was responsible for supporting the 6th Cavalry Regiment in the operation, and first held Shimenkou Town. Shen Wei immediately gave an order.
"Yes, Commissar." Luo Hongyi immediately agreed, and then he walked quickly towards the radio, and he began to use the radio to send telegrams to the artillery regiment and the 6th Cavalry Regiment to convey orders.
