Chapter 134: The Japanese Army's Scheme

Shuichi Takano was capable, and he quickly drew up a battle plan.

However, Takano Shuichi was the garrison commander, and if he wanted to mobilize troops to besiege the troops in Nanzhuang Village, he needed to report to the division headquarters.

In order to be able to realize his plan, Takano Shuichi did not send a telegram to the 79th Wing, let alone the 40th Brigade, he reported the telegram directly to the 20th Division headquarters in Yangquan County, and he planned to implement this battle plan directly through the division commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo.

Yangquan County, the headquarters of the 20th Division, the division commander Kawagishi Fumizaburo is admiring the cultural relics given to him by his subordinates.

After seeing these cultural relics, Kawagishi Fumizaburo had a smile on his face, he liked these things very much, and the subordinates who gave him these things were also to please him.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the commander of the Pingding County garrison, Hideichi Takano sent a message."

At this time, the chief of staff of the 20th Division, Kimura Hisazo, came to Kawagishi Fumizaburo with a telegram, and he reported softly.

Hearing that it was a telegram sent by the Japanese troops in Binh Dinh County, Kawagishi Bunzaburo couldn't help but show a somewhat nervous expression on his face.

He gave up admiring the artifacts and looked anxiously at Kimura Kuzo. He was very worried in his heart, he was worried that the Japanese troops in Pingding County would be attacked by Sun Weiguo again, and in that case, he would not have the slightest recourse.

Although the encircled and annihilated 80th Wing has now recovered, it will take some time for them to regain their combat effectiveness.

At present, Kawagishi Bunzaburo does not want to have a battle in his jurisdiction, and he wants his troops to rest and recuperate.

After his troops are rested, Sun Weiguo Kawagishi Bunzaburo of Pingding County will definitely not let go.

"What's going on, could it be that the troops of Pingding County have been attacked?" Kawagishi Bunzaburo said with a nervous face.

"Your Excellency the division commander, it is the battle plan sent by Takano Shuichi, Nanzhuang Village found Sun Weiguo's troops, Takano Shuichi Zhongzuo intends to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, this is his battle plan, he asked the division headquarters to send some supplies. Hizo Kisamura said hurriedly.

Hearing that it was only the battle plan sent by Hideichi Takano, and not that the Japanese troops in Pingding County were attacked, Kawagishi Fumizaburo relaxed.

He took the message and looked at it carefully, and after seeing the contents of the message, Kawagishi Fumizaburo came to the map.

"Sun Weiguo's troops have expanded to seven or eight hundred people, chief of staff, although the Japanese puppet army in Pingding County has nearly 3,000 people, but if you want to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, I am afraid that you will have to dispatch more than eight times the number of troops I am afraid that there will be a chance of victory. This Sun Weiguo is not simple, a platoon under him has almost the same combat effectiveness as a regiment of other Chinese troops. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo's brows furrowed slightly, and he said softly, obviously he didn't approve of Shuichi Takano's plan.

"Sun Weiguo's troops are indeed expanding rapidly, Your Excellency the division commander, their troops have expanded very much, but their combat effectiveness will definitely fall. Sun Weiguo has a set of skills in military training, and if we don't interfere, I'm afraid they will still pose a major threat to us in the near future. ”

Kimura Kuzo looked at Kawagishi Bunzaburo, and he said with a solemn expression on his face.

It will not work to ignore Sun Weiguo's troops, and Sun Weiguo's troops will quickly form combat effectiveness.

The fact that the Japanese army ignored Sun Weiguo's troops did not mean that Sun Weiguo would not attack the Japanese troops.

Judging from the situation several times, as long as Sun Weiguo seizes the opportunity, Sun Weiguo will definitely attack the Japanese troops.

Kimura Hisazo was worried that if Sun Weiguo's troops were left alone, the consequences would be very serious, and perhaps the troops in Pingding County would suffer losses.

Hearing Kimura Kuzo's words, Kawagishi Fumizaburo nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

Shuichi Takano's battle plan was indeed perfect, but Kawagishi Bunzaburo could not send troops to assist Shuichi Takano in the battle.

After pondering for a while, Kawagishi Bunzaburo decided to send this battle plan to the headquarters of the First Army, and let the commander of the First Army, Kiyoji Kazuki, make a judgment, and if Kiyoji Kazuki agreed to this battle plan, then the First Army would send some reinforcements.

The 20th Division had suffered a lot of losses in the previous operations, and now that most of them were resting, they could not send troops to assist Takano Shuichi in attacking Sun Weiguo.

But if Takano Shuichi commanded the Japanese puppet army in Pingding County to attack Sun Weiguo, Kawagishi Bunzaburo was worried that Takano Shuichi's troops would be hit again, so he handed over the decision to the commander of the First Army, Kiyoji Kazuki.

Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, Headquarters of the First Army.

When Kiyoji Kazuki received the telegram from the 20th Division, he was discussing with Hashimoto Group, chief of staff of the First Army, how to deploy the various units of the First Army.

At present, the First Army has six divisions under its command, but the strength of these six divisions and regiments must be garrisoned everywhere.

Moreover, according to the order of the North China Front Command, they intended to let the 108th Division take over the defense of the 20th Division in the area of Yangquan County.

The 20th Division is to be responsible for the defense of the southern Shanxi Plain and the Yellow River, and this part of the area is very important, so the North China Front is prepared to let the 20th Division, which has stronger combat effectiveness, to garrison.

"Your Excellency Commander, if the 108th Division is allowed to serve as the garrison in the area of Yangquan County, we must concentrate heavy forces to clear Sun Weiguo's troops in Pingding County, otherwise. The 108th Division will certainly not be their opponent. ”

Hashimoto looked at the location of Pingding County on the map, and he said worriedly.

"The 20th Division is still resting, and it is obviously impossible for them to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops, and our troops are stationed in various places, if they attack Sun Weiguo's troops now, I am afraid it is inappropriate." Kiyoji Kazuki shook his head and refused.

Although the First Army currently has six divisions under its jurisdiction, two of these six divisions have not yet been formally assigned to the First Army, and these two divisions cannot be mobilized by Kazuki Kiyoji for the time being.

In other words, the First Army had no extra troops to move at will, and it was unrealistic for them to attack Sun Weiguo's troops.

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Fumizaburo Kawagishi, commander of the 20th Division, sent a message." At this time, the staff officer came to the front of Kiyoji Kazuki and Hashimoto Group, and he hurriedly reported.

Hashimoto took the message and looked at it carefully, and then he handed it to Kiyoji Kazuki.

"Takano Shuichi, who is stationed in Pingding County, wants to launch an attack on Sun Weiguo's troops, but the troops under his command cannot form an absolute advantage over Sun Weiguo, so Kawagishi Bunzaburo asks us how to make a decision." Hashimoto said softly.

Kiyoji Kazuki looked at the telegram and looked towards the map, his face showing a solemn expression.
