Han Xing was driving at the high speed of the tank, and suddenly saw an infantry brigade of the Japanese army lined up behind, and the fortifications were too late to be constructed, so he urgently dug simple fortifications on the ground, trying to block the advance of the tank convoy.

"What are we going to do, are we going to rush over?" You asked Han Xing.

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "Now the Japanese are crazy, just like mad dogs, they can't wait to catch us and bite us!" If you really let it bite, do you say whether to get this rabies vaccine or not, if you don't get it, maybe you will get rabies when you will get it, if you want to get it, but where to get it, isn't it troublesome? Can't you hide if you can't afford to provoke it? Far from it. ”

You Qianqian also understood, and said happily: "Understood, we will avoid them and bypass them, and the target is still the cavalry brigade of the little devil." ”

Han Xing said to You Qianqian again: "You also tell Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan in the back, telling them not to provoke the Japanese infantry, and would rather walk around than avoid them." ”

You Qianqian used the advanced communication tools in the car to convey Han Xing's orders to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan in the back.

An infantry brigade is about 1,000 people, according to the requirements of field fortifications, front-line fortifications, communication fortifications, and shelters, and pull down, and 1,000 people are a defensive distance of several hundred meters.

Whether your fortifications are well repaired or bad, I don't come into contact with you, so I just bypass by.

The officers and men of this Japanese brigade were so angry that their stomachs were bulging, and they didn't fight with us. They originally wanted to fight the tank battalion that was swimming forward, but what they saw was that the tank was emitting a puff of green smoke and going farther and farther.

It would be amazing if the infantry could catch up with the tanks!

Fujita Shigeichi originally thought that this Japanese infantry brigade would be able to jingle for a while, but he didn't expect that the tanks of the Chinese army would not pay attention to this Japanese infantry brigade at all, and came around it.

Shigeichi Fujita's nerves that had just relaxed tightened up again, and he asked Shio Shoichi: "Shixiong-kun, what should we do?" ”

At this time, Shixiong Shoichi had no choice but to say: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's really not easy to do, the cavalry can't beat the tanks at all, and if these tanks are allowed to rush into our ranks, the consequences will be even more unimaginable." At this time, we can only count on our aviation, perhaps, they have a way? ”

Shigeichi Fujita was cheeky again and went to ask Okamura Ninji for help, hoping that the aviation could support.

It's not that the aviation unit hasn't been here, and when they came, they called Xu Da's aviation formation to call back. If they come back for the second time, Xu Da's air formation is just waiting for them.

There was Xu Da's aviation brigade covering overhead, and the Japanese cavalry on the ground was fleeing in embarrassment, and Han Xing only led the tank battalion in pursuit.

Han Xing said to You Qianqian: "Battalion Commander You, I see, are we fighting like this. We followed closely behind the Japanese cavalry and fired them with high-explosive grenades and machine guns. When they run fast, we chase fast, they run slowly, we chase slowly, and our purpose is to kill them severely. It is to cause a major psychological shadow on them psychologically. ”

You Qian smiled and said, "I see, you mean to let us raise the whip high and keep it dangling above their heads, whipping them every now and then, acting like we are going to kill them at all times, forcing them to run tired, driving them crazy, forcing them to mess up......"

Han Xing shouted happily, "That's right! You're so smart, that's what I mean......"

So, you swam forward to command the tank battalion, just behind the large army of devil cavalry, the high-explosive grenades are constantly fighting, the machine guns are constantly sweeping, in the continuous fire strikes, the devil's war horse is constantly falling, the devil on the horse is constantly suffering casualties, and the devil's team is becoming more and more chaotic......

People's ability to bear is limited, death, is not terrible, what is terrible is that you may die when you will die, and you will not die, and you will die in the end, and constantly bearing this pressure can make people's spirits collapse......

There was a little devil who finally couldn't bear such pressure, he looked up at the east, the place of his hometown, and laughed on his back: "Hahaha...... Hahaha...... I'm going home, and I can finally go home. ”

He stabbed himself in the lower abdomen with his saber and fell from his horse.

And the worst were the cavalrymen who had lost their horses, and they moved their legs (the cavalry's legs were deformed due to long-term riding), and they followed the cavalry units in front in a daze. Once they lose the protection of the large army, their situation will become very miserable.

It is not terrible to encounter the regular troops of China, but the most terrible thing is to encounter bandits and ordinary people, who do not talk about the policy of taking prisoners and not taking prisoners, and they have captured a small number of Japanese and are trying their best to torture you, so that you are worse than dead.

Han Xing is slowly enjoying this effect, it is as sweet as eating honey, little devils, you have too many times to be proud, and there are times when you are unhappy.

Let you keep dying and scattering until you finally collapse as you flee......

In this short thought, Han Xing thought of another question, where are the Japanese cavalry going and what are they going to do when they are moving in such a big way.

He had already told Xu Da about this task, and asked Xu Da's air force to do everything possible to understand the actions of the Japanese army, and from the actions of the Japanese army, predict the general plan of the Japanese army.

In addition, this task was also explained to Pan Xiaoan, and Pan Xiaoan of the Intelligence Department was asked to do everything possible to understand the plan of action for Okamura Ningji's campaign.

Xu Da's intelligence is constantly coming, and Pan Xiaoan's information is also constantly coming, and from these fragmentary information, Han Xing gradually sorted out Okamura Ningji's battle plan.

The tactics that the Japanese army is good at are one-wing encirclement, or one-wing outflanking.

That is, the Japanese army attacked from the flank while attacking one frontally, and outflanked the other way, trying to cut off the enemy's retreat.

In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the War of Aggression against China, and other previous operations, this style of play was used by the Japanese army the most and was also the most handy, and it was one of the most common tactics of Japan.

Single-wing outflanking is a very practical tactic because it is very simple, but it is extremely practical.

Generally, when the enemy encounters the Japanese army in the front, once the flank is outflanked in a fierce battle, there will inevitably be two situations: if the frontal battle is insisted on, then because the supply is cut off and the retreat route is cut off, not only will the combat strength be greatly damaged, but there will also be a danger of being completely annihilated. If the frontal combat retreat is abandoned, then it is obvious that the first line has not yet divided the winner and loser, and because the flanks have been outflanked, the entire line has retreated, and it is really worth the loss to be forced to abandon the existing positions. And with this style of play, the Japanese casualties are also very small!

However, there is also an obvious problem with single-wing outflanking, that is, because there is only one wing, either the right wing or the left wing, there is often a large gap in the encirclement. If the enemy abandons frontal resistance and retreats, then it is quite possible that the enemy's main forces will not be able to intercept them and completely annihilate them.

Therefore, since the purpose of this battle is to annihilate the main force of the Fifth Theater, especially the Tang Enbo Group Army, it is obvious that the tactics of one-wing encirclement are not feasible, and it is necessary to use two-wing encirclement to completely complete the encirclement and make it impossible for the national army to escape.

Okamura Ninji believed that a reinforced brigade of the Japanese 3rd Division on the right flank could avoid the main force of the Nationalist army by starting from Xinyang, Henan, which was behind the flank of the Nationalist army. The distance between the Japanese army in Xinyang and Tongbai County was only 70 or 80 kilometers, which was very close. The Japanese army should not encounter strong troops of the Nationalist army along the way, at most it will encounter the Sichuan army, which is weak in combat effectiveness. In the case of the 26th Brigade of the 3rd Division, a Type A heavy brigade with a strength of more than 10,000 troops, it should not be a big problem to occupy Tongbai, and there is no problem in occupying Miyang, which is only 50 or 60 kilometers north of Tongbai and is also the defense of the national army.

However, Okamura Ninji believed that the Japanese army on the left flank was quite difficult. Starting from Zhongxiang and Jingshan, the Japanese army needed to march 150 kilometers in a straight line to occupy Zaoyang, and here they encountered the main force of Zhang Zizhong's corps, and the Japanese army would definitely encounter stubborn resistance.

Of course, the blocking of Zhang Zizhong's corps is only one of the reasons, if the inner encirclement from Jingshan to Zaoyang to Tongbai and then to Xinyang is too small. If the national army in the encirclement reacts quickly, it only needs to go north or westward for dozens of kilometers to break through successfully. The terrain of this inner encirclement is complex and there are many mountainous areas, so it is difficult to completely seal it down.

Relying on this inner encirclement alone, I am afraid that it will not be possible to completely intercept the main force of the Fifth Theater, especially not the Tangenbo Group Army.

Okamura Ningji thought about it and decided to use a double encirclement, that is, to build a larger encirclement outside the encirclement from Jingshan to Zaoyang to Tongbai and then to Xinyang.

This encirclement is twice as large as the first one, and the area is dominated by plains, avoiding difficult terrain.

This encirclement went from Zhongxiang to Zaoyang, to Xinye, to Tanghe, to Miyang, and finally to Tongbai and Xinyang.

With such a large encirclement, it is more than enough to encircle the main forces of the Fifth Theater, and the double encirclement is a double insurance, even if one of the encirclements is broken through by the national army, it does not matter.

It can be said that Okamura Ninji did his best for this battle with jujubes.

He clearly knew that in this whole strategy, it was obviously the most difficult for the Japanese army on the left flank to complete the large encirclement. They crisscrossed at least 300 kilometers in front and back, which was already a long distance, and in addition, they needed to engage fiercely with the 50,000 troops of Zhang Zizhong's corps along the way.

Okamura Ninji thought left and right and decided on the strength of the Japanese army on the left flank on a large scale. The strength of the Japanese army on the left flank increased to 2 divisions and 1 cavalry brigade, up to more than 70,000 people.
