Section 23 War Clouds Gather (2)

Feng Zhanhai didn't react for a while, but Zhu Hongxun noticed the language problem in He Jifeng's words: "Too far? How could the troops be stationed in a place like Qingxian County? Horse Factory ...... What's going on? ”

He Jifeng was startled, knowing that he had made an unintentional mistake and leaked the heavenly secret, Zhao Dengyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Boting, the plan for the Qingxian operation this time, well, it may be a little different from what the command set in advance - but don't worry, there won't be much change, haha, haha!" ”

The more he said this, the more uneasy Zhu Hongxun became, what do you mean by a slight discrepancy? How big is the discrepancy? Although Zhao Dengyu is not the same as him, but this time, the other party is the highest commander of the former finger, he is not stunned to ask, just staring at He Jifeng with a pair of bright eyes, as if he wants to get an exact answer from his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He just stared at He Jifeng, he didn't hear Zhao Dengyu speak, until Feng Zhanhai touched him, and then he reacted, "I'm sorry, what?" ”

"Burtin, you don't have the experience of fighting devils face-to-face, do you?"

Zhu Hongxun shook his head and said hesitantly: "This, not yet." ”

"Don't worry, it'll be there right away. According to the plan of our army, we will make the most preliminary contact with the devils in Nanfu Zhao and Machang, and at the same time tell the Japanese that we are coming! ”

Zhu Hongxun was stunned, Zhao Dengyu said with a smile: "I think, the Japanese will definitely launch an offensive on these two places in the near future, the meaning of the front finger, is ready to arrange a unit to complete the sniper operation, I plan to send a part of the 132nd Division to attack to meet the enemy, in addition, your 103rd Division and Pusheng's 91st Division will also arrange a unit to provide battlefield cover and support, what do you think?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Hongxun frowned, he didn't expect Zhao Dengyu to be so straightforward, he couldn't give the 29th Army a flat look! Okay, Chief Zhao can afford me Zhu Hongxun, and he should kill himself! In my opinion, there is no need to arrange it, I personally lead the main force of the 103rd Division up, so that the little devils can know that I am in China, not a no-man's land! ”

Zhao Dengyu and He Jifeng looked at each other and smiled: "There is no need for the main force of the 103rd Division, this time going north, blocking the enemy is still secondary, and the main thing is to train troops." Well, I'll talk to you in detail later. ”

Zhu Hongxun was stunned again, what kind of dumb riddle did Zhao Dengyu play? And looking at their expressions, it seems that there is something unsavory hidden in it, what do they want to do?

A side hall on the back side of the Sanqing hall has now been changed to the temporary headquarters of the front finger, and there is a huge map of Qingxian County hanging on the wall, and on the high-scale military map, the entire Qingxian County including all the surrounding towns and villages are marked on it, and it can be seen very clearly. There were operational staff officers rushing back and forth, making final preparations for the battle that was about to begin, and there was a noise in the command headquarters, and from time to time the telephone rang sharply.

Zhao Dengyu raised his head and stared at the map, and only after a while did he ask, "Which army will be the enemy that may appear in front of us?" ”

"It's the 108th Division, the troops of Shimoto Kumaya." Zhu Hongxun said: "The total strength is about 12,000 people, and Shoushan and I believe that although our army has the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers alone, it may not be able to take advantage of the weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers. ”

"Zhiyun told me on the way here that the division number of the Japanese army, after 20, is not a type A combat unit, so although the equipment that Bertin said is something, we are indeed inferior to others, and this battle is not without any hope of victory."

Zhu Hongxun was stunned, Zhiyun, who is this? "That, Shun Chen, when you just said about training, did you want to touch the 108th Division before going to war?"

Zhao Dengyu and He Jifeng looked at each other and smiled: "No, Boting, this time the training is not in Qingxian, but in Nanfu Zhao!" ”

"Nanfu Zhao?" Zhu Hongxun really couldn't figure it out, if he wanted to say that before the battle, he would first train and train the troops, which is understandable, but how did he pull the troops down to Langfang to go to training? Moreover, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, one of the famous ace divisions of the Japanese Army, is stationed there?

Zhao Dengyu saw it and smiled: "Boting, don't worry, this time it is Zhiyun who is the commander-in-chief of the training, he ...... You don't know that person very well, you'll know when you see him. ”

Zhu Hongxun and Feng Zhanhai looked at each other: Zhiyun? Who is he?

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

Nanfu Zhao belongs to Langfang, but in the southernmost part of Langfang, adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and Qingxian, Tangguantun, Machang and other places form a triangle, only 16 kilometers away from the nearest Tangguantun, in Dai Xiaodian's plan, here and Machang will be the initial contact with the enemy in the Cangbao battle, and because of the time, this will also be the best place for him to exercise new tactics.

By August 22, with the approval of the Japanese Central Committee, it was decided to establish the North China Front, and the commander was General Terauchi Shouichi. There were two armies, the commander of the first army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, and the second army was Nishio Shouzo (not yet in office); It is estimated that by the time the transportation of troops is completed, the total number of Japanese troops assembled in North China will be around 120,000, and the number of troops directly participating in the battle will be about 86,000.

In accordance with the order of the Front Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya of the 10th Division of the Second Army temporarily assumed the post of commander until the arrival of Commander Nishio Toshizo, and before the end of August, he would advance his troops to the front line of Machang and Nanfuzhao Town, completely eliminate the enemy along the Yongding River and in the area around Pingjin, form a deterrent force against the defenders of Cangxian, and lay the foundation for the first step in the Cangxian operation to begin in the future -- and what Dai Xiaodian had to do was to fight the devils in these two places!

The 10th Division, like the 5th Division, was one of Japan's 17 standing divisions, and was also called Himeji Division because it was formed in Himeji (in Hyogo Prefecture, near Osaka); The division is quite well-equipped, and is regarded by the Japanese military as a model for modern divisions, and its combat effectiveness is naturally very fierce; In addition to the regular two brigades and regiments (each with two wings), the unit also has one cavalry, artillery, engineer, and baggage wing directly under the division and regiment, as well as a communications team, a medical team, and four field hospitals. In addition, according to different situations, there are 2 artillery wings, 2 machine gun brigades, and 2 armored squadrons temporarily attached to them, which can really be said to be armed to the teeth!

The strength of the opponent is so strong, even if Dai Xiaodian is a traverser, he will definitely not think that the first battle will be done, on the contrary, in the absence of an absolute number of troops, how far should he really escape; Fortunately, the purpose of this time is only to train troops, and it may be too arrogant to think that it is necessary to annihilate the other party, but it is not a big problem to teach Ryosuke Isoya a lesson.
