Sending him out, Ryosuke Isoya was not in a hurry to ask, and made a gesture to Plum Village to smoke, the chief of staff took out the cigarette and distributed it around, Hiromoto cigarette in his hand, took a few puffs greedily, and his eyes were slightly red: "I can't taste it anymore." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ryosuke Isoya patted him on the shoulder with relief, "Hiromoto-kun, can you tell us in detail about the abnormality you felt on the battlefield?" ”

"Yes." Hiromoto lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and said slowly: "I didn't see that the people of China had adopted any novel tactics, but when they led the squadron to attack, they encountered the sniper defense line formed by the Chinese army in the middle of the way, which made the advance of the troops never be as smooth as usual. ”

"Specifically?" Chief of Staff Atsuro Umemura asked.

"Specifically, in the course of the battle in Fengzhuang Village, our brigade launched an attack on the Shina army on both the front and the right flank front, and the task of our squadron was to follow the Kawasaki squadron to advance together and provide battlefield support for the Izui squadron and the Jingyu squadron. At 5:17 p.m., Jing Yuyou's squadron requested tactical guidance to advance quickly with Idei's squadron and Kurosawa's heavy machine gun squadron, intending to break through the siege of the Chinese army and safely rescue Jing Yujun's squadron. My squadron and Kawasaki-kun's squadron, on the orders of the captain, provided cover for the second wave and ensured that friendly forces could retreat to safe areas. “

As he spoke, Hiromoto organized his language and explained the battle situation over and over again, and suddenly said: "Division commander, I understand at this moment, and the feeling that the people of China give me the feeling that it seems that the steps of our march and battle are under the control of the other party. It is precisely for this reason that our army is under control at every turn. ”

Ryosuke Isoya pondered for a long time and shook his head slowly: "This kind of thing can't happen. Needless to say, the people of China do not attach as much importance to the work of intelligence management as our side, and judging from the fact that the Nanfu Zhao operation alone is completely outside the plan of the division or the front army, how can such a conclusion be drawn? ”

"Yes," Hiromoto bowed his head slightly, and said, "This is all contemptible thinking, and it can't be counted." ”

Ryosuke Isoya was silent, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart in vain, Takehei Nagase is simply a sinner of the Imperial Kingdom! In order to compete with Tajima Eijiro, he even led his troops to the north bank of the Yongding River without his full consent, just to be the first to set foot on the land on the south bank, but now he has suffered such a serious loss, killing thousands of soldiers in vain...... not mentioning it now, he must be made to take this responsibility in the future!

The shadow flashed at the door of the war room, and it was the head of the third section of the staff department who came back, his surname was Yano, and his military rank was Nakasa, according to the rank of the Japanese staff officer, he got the third lesson was the combat section. Yano walked over to Atsuro Umemura and whispered a few times; Umemuraichi frowned, "Really?" ”

"Yes, it's been verified three times and it's completely certain." Yano said in a low voice.

Ryosuke Isoya was full of unhappiness when he saw two people whispering and said loudly, "Yano-kun, are there any private words that can't be said out loud?" ”

"Ah, yes! Your Excellency General, judging from the information just collected, the people who fought against the Imperial Kingdom this time belonged to the First Group Army of the Chinese Army, which were the 132nd and 38th Divisions under the Group Army, and the 91st and 103rd Divisions under the 53rd Army. According to our intelligence calculations, the Chinese army heading to Nanfu Zhao should be about 60,000 people. But for unknown reasons, the Chinese army did not send all its combat forces. The hidden intentions behind it are worrying. ”

Ryosuke Isoya snatched the information from Yano's hand and read it at a glance, "Is the news confirmed?" ”

"Yes, after three verifications, completely sure."

Ryosuke Isoya had to pay attention, he guessed that the army sent by Shina could not have only one division, and the current intelligence completely confirmed his opinion, the question is, what is the purpose of them hiding so many people?

Going deeper into this perspective, Ryosuke Isoya came to a conclusion: the Shina people are using a blindfold method, intending to surprise the Japanese army in tomorrow's battle! After figuring out the joints, he suddenly shouted: "Ugaki-kun? ”

"Yes." Ugaki is the head of the second section (intelligence).

At the same time, it was requested that the 11th Brigade led by Suzuki Shigeyasu be postponed and that the 11th Wing of the Brigade (Maicang Wing), which is now stationed in Jinghai and other peripheral areas of Tianjin, be dispatched overnight to the Langfang area to support the upcoming combat operations against the Chinese army. At the same time, the 12th Wing of the brigade (Akira Nara) was requested to set out from Tongzhou, Beiping, and also rushed to the Langfang area to participate in the operation.

Ugaki and other staff officers are all fast hands, and in a few minutes, they wrote a thousand lines and finished writing the telegram, and Ryosuke Isoya nodded and sent it.

Ryosuke Isoya pondered for a while, then turned his head and walked to the wall, stared up at the battle map of the Langfang area, and sneered a few times: Tomorrow's battle, let the people of China take a look, with some clumsy tricks that can be seen through at a glance, it will not be able to control the development of the battle situation at all!

**********************************************

Under the dim oil lamp, Dai Xiaodian wrote hard, and he roughly summarized the shortcomings of Nanfu Zhao's battle. According to his observations, the tactics of the Chinese army are still in a very extensive stage, that is, the old routine of holding on, counterattacking, being repulsed, and then holding on and then counterattacking; If this is still within the acceptable range, then the front-line commanders always fight emotional battles internally; Externally, there is no spirit of coordinated operations, and this is a big problem.

Dai Xiaodian pondered while writing, and after returning to Qingxian, he should find a way to solve these two big troubles as soon as possible, and it may be difficult to temporarily extend them to the whole army, so let's start with the 38th Division.

The figure flickered at the door, it was Jin Zhenzhong and Chen Guangran who came, Chen Guangran's face was embarrassed, like a child who had made a mistake was about to face a strict teacher, Jin Zhenzhong looked back and gave him a look, the two walked to Dai Xiaodian's table, and stood up and saluted: "Brigade commander." ”

Dai Xiaodian put down the pen and looked up at Chen Guangran, who shrank for no reason, avoiding his eyes; "That, Brigadier ......"

"Haozhuang front, who is the highest rank?"

"Yes...... I. ”

"Who proposed to attack the Japanese Idei Brigade?"

"This is Camp Commander Ji."

"What about you?"

"Humble ......," Chen Guangran scratched his head in distress and said, "The humble position did not speak. ”

Dai Xiaodian was furious: "As a regiment commander, you give a battalion commander command to the regiment? He told you to charge, and you charged? What did I tell you beforehand? Do you have all the paste in your head? It seems that you don't have the ability to lead a regiment, go back and be your second battalion commander! ”

Chen Guangran and Jin Zhenzhong were stupid at his stormy scolding, Chen Guangran didn't even dare to let out a fart, saluted in a panic, turned his head and ran. Rushing to the door, just as someone was about to come in, the two of them bumped into each other, "Ah, commander? ”

"Lao Chen, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Guangran's face flushed, fortunately, it was dark, Zhao Dengyu couldn't see it, and he couldn't explain, so he saluted again and ran away.

Zhao Dengyu didn't think much about it, and took a few people into the house, and Zhang Zhenhua walked at the back, he was still carrying a wooden barrel with a lid in his hand, and when he opened it, there were dishes and chopsticks in it: "Xiaodian, I didn't see you when I was eating just now, what are you doing?" Can't wait until you're done eating? Come, let's eat. ”

"I'll write something," Dai Xiaodian took the bowl and chopsticks, it was a big bowl of white rice, and just the warmest boiled fish - everyone knew that Dai Xiaodian loved fish, especially fish roe, so he set aside a large piece for him and put it on the plate, "Thank you, Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Zhenhua smiled, "How about it, you know who loves you the most now, right?" Alright, eat, eat. ”

Dai Xiaodian picked up the bowl and asked, "Brother Zhang, has the battle damage figure come out?" What about casualties? ”

Zhang Zhenhua's faces suddenly stiffened, and he said hesitantly: "Zhiyun, you eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

Dai Xiaodian immediately knew that the situation was very bad. He put the dishes and chopsticks back down and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you still want to hide from me, what is it?" ”

Zhang Zhenhua had no choice but to tell him: This time the Chinese army suffered quite serious losses in the northward training, and a brigade of Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division participated in the battle, and there was less than one battalion that survived to the end of the battle. In addition to his troops, Dong Shengtang's 132nd Division, Dai Xiaodian's new Second Brigade, and Zhang Zhenhua's Special Service Brigade all suffered casualties of varying degrees, adding up to more than 9,300 killed and wounded.

Dai Xiaodian's heart twitched for a while, the battle plan was drawn up by him, and now he has caused such serious casualties, he must take responsibility!

The room was quiet for a long time, Zhao Dengyu picked up the manuscript on the table idly, and browsed it at a glance: "Zhiyun, what are you writing this?" What is a coordinated operation? ”

"The so-called coordinated operation, to be described in a simple sentence, is to require all units to be able to hold their own defense lines while also carrying out joint defense of the combat areas of the friendly forces next to them. Don't give the devil a breakthrough range, don't we often say that if one side is in trouble, all sides will support? That's what it means. ”

Zhao Dengyu blinked and said suspiciously: "Where did you come from such a sentence, who said it?" ”

"Isn't there such a sentence?" Dai Xiaodian was stunned: "Then take it as if I said it." Hehe......"

Zhang Zhenhua scolded with a smile: "You kid, you will make those messy ideas at a daily price." Why are you holding your own line of defense not enough, even you have to take care of other people's? ”

Dai Xiaodian shook his head, picked up the dishes and chopsticks for the second time, and just sent a mouthful of rice to his mouth, a combat staff officer rushed into the room with a smoke: "Military seat, Baoding emergency electricity." ”

"Read."

"General Zhao Shunchen and Dai Brigade Commander Zhiyun, after receiving the call, immediately set off and returned to Baoding to be questioned by the Commander's Department about the battle in Qingxian County. This order, Tong Lin Ge. ”

Zhao Dengyu blurted out and said, "Zhiyun, what's going on?" Did the news be revealed in advance? ”

Dai Xiaodian was also stunned, and he could hear from Tong Linge's telegram that the Qingxian battle plan had been revealed. This made him a little nervous for no reason, knowing that a big test was just around the corner! (To be continued.) )
