Section 5 Gathering V

"February 10th. \, Qb(5).coM\Japan's founding anniversary. In Wuhan, a large number of Japanese people cheered and paraded in the streets, drunken ronins sang minor tunes and rampaged through the streets in groups, and the aborigines of the land quietly hid in their homes and watched them indifferently and laugh.

At the western foot of Luojia Mountain, the former campus of National Wuhan University, once a place where sloppy students and erudite Confucians gathered, now they are murderous everywhere, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and strict security. After the loss of Wuhan, Wuhan University moved to Sichuan, and with a stroke of the pen, it became the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army and the heart of the Japanese invasion in Central China.

On this day of national rejoicing, this heavily guarded place of soldiers is also clothed with a layer of celebratory warmth, colorful colored paper is hung on the branches on both sides of the boulevard, tall shrines are erected in the barracks, soldiers are given a bottle of sake and a piece of pork for every two people, Japanese expatriates in Wuhan have come to the barracks to pay condolences to the labor army, and the geisha dressed in fancy clothes go to the barracks to perform for the soldiers, but these activities can only be carried out on the periphery, and the high-ranking officers in the inner circle of the Japanese army are still celebrated differently from ordinary soldiers.

The sound of silk and bamboo was faintly heard, and the soldiers passing by from outside could only look inside with envy, and the group of geisha from the labor army from Japan was performing for the senior officers.

Anan Wei sat cross-legged on the first seat, at the moment he was in a happy mood, in the battle of Suizao that ended more than a month ago, he seized the negligence of the Chinese army, the surprise attack was successful, killed the Chinese warrior Zhang Zizhong, and dealt a heavy blow to the elite troops of the five theaters, and was ashamed of the imperial army in Zaoyang, Linyi, and also earned a Rising Sun Medal for himself.

However, Zhang Zizhong's death led to the adjustment of the command system of the five theaters by the government of China, and the general of China was reappointed as the commander of the five theaters.

General Shina has become a nightmare for the Japanese army, in Nanjing, in Linyi, in Zaoyang, and last year in Lashio, defeated all the Japanese generals he met, among the Japanese generals in China, only Anan Yuji and North China Okamura Ningji did not suffer at his hands, the reason is actually very simple, they have not yet had a chance.

Of course, Anan Yuji is not arrogant enough to be better than the famous generals Itagaki Seishiro, Nishio Shouzo, and Yan Junroku, but he has reason to think that he has a chance to defeat General Shina and save face for the Imperial Army, because he can master the military deployment of the troops in the Fifth Theater, and every move of General Shina is under his supervision.

Several geisha danced to the beat in the middle of the living room, the folding fan in their hands was full of style, the hall was filled with cheerful warmth, Anan Weiji also applauded lightly with the beat, his surface relaxed to cover up the faint worry in his heart, although so far, the general of China has no amazing moves except for the whole army, but the government of China has increased its troops to the five theaters, and the fifth group army, the first mechanized unit of China, has been transferred to the fifth theater, and the recent intelligence shows that The Youth Army, which consisted of students from China, had four divisions in the 5th theater of operations.

In addition, the government of China made an exception to directly assign the air force of three brigades to the five theaters under the unified command of the general of China, which broke the command system of the China Army and made stronger support for operations and made greater efficiency.

There are all kinds of indications that the next major move of the Chinese army must be in the Fifth Theater, and it is necessary to strike at the Fifth Theater again, Anan has already made a decision in his heart, and now what bothers him is the materials, the last battle will be exhausted, and it will take at least three months to raise the materials needed for the next battle.

"It's a shame." Anan Wei was very sorry in his heart, General China made a mistake, he did not replenish the 33rd Army that had suffered serious losses in time, not only that, but also took the opportunity to seize the 59th Army in the name of the whole army, drove out Liu Ruming, causing the 33rd Group Army and the Second Army to fluctuate, this is a good opportunity to attack, he believes that if there is sufficient material supplies, he will definitely be able to defeat the 5th Theater Army again, completely eliminate the nightmare among the Japanese generals. A military security officer quietly came in and handed a telegram to Anan Weiji, Anan Weiji glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh softly, the telegram was sent by spies in the Fifth War Zone, and it was information about the recent troop movement in the Fifth War Zone.

General Zhina filled in the loophole, and the 60th Army deployed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was transferred to the Dahongshan area south of Suixian County to take over the defense area of the 77th Army, the 59th Army withdrew to Zaoyang for reorganization, the troops on the southern front were under the unified command of Du Xingming, commander of the 50th Group Army, the 49th Group Army moved south and stationed in Zhongxiang, Yicheng, the 22nd Group Army and the 36th Group Army moved closer to the east, and the Fifth Group Army was stationed in Fancheng, Xiangyang. And there is a possibility of continuing southward.

Ananwi got up and left the hall, and the officers also stood up and followed him away, leaving behind a few consular officials and expatriate leaders who looked at each other, and they didn't say anything to stay

"This is the recent transfer of the Fifth Theater Army, what do you think?" Anan Weiji walked into the war room with the officers and pointed to the sand table and asked, The staff officer on duty has already marked the changes in the strength of the five theaters on the sand table.

"The 49th Group Army is coming" Chief of Staff Isamu Kinoshita's tone was a little surprised, the 49th Group Army was regarded by the Japanese army as the strongest army in China, and the appearance of this unit there meant that China was going to attack there: "General China is going to attack?."

The 11 th Army has eight divisions under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 200,000 troops, of which the 6th and 40th Divisions are stationed in Yueyang and Xianning on the border of Hunan and Hubei, the 39th Division is stationed in Qianjiang Tianmen, the 68th Division is stationed in Jiujiang, the 34th Division is stationed in Nanchang, the 3rd Division is stationed in Xiaogan, Xinyang, the 13th Division is stationed in Jingshan, Yingcheng, and the 58th Division is stationed in the three towns of Wuhan. Among these units, the 3rd, 6th, and 13th Divisions are fourth-wing divisions, the rest of the units are third-wing divisions, and the 58th and 68th divisions were expanded from the 14th and 18th brigades and regiments that were independently mixed last year.

In view of the shortage of combat forces in the south, the base camp originally planned to transfer the Sixth Division to Nanyang and integrate it into the combat sequence of the Southern Army, but this move was strongly opposed by the China Dispatch Army and the Eleventh Army.

More than 200,000 troops and eight divisions seem to be a lot, but the 11th Army is facing three war zones in China, the fifth war zone, the ninth war zone, and the third war zone.

"Is he targeting the Thirteenth Division or the Thirty-ninth Division?" Kinoshita is asking and talking to himself.

"Not like". Deputy Chief of Staff Sakai Masataka pondered and said: "General Shina provoked the dispute between the 59th Army and the 69th Army, it has only been a month, and there is no internal stability, is it too hasty to launch an offensive now."

"You can't jump to conclusions." Anan Wei said slowly, his hands in his trouser pockets, and the medal on his chest was shining: "General Zhina has always liked to be surprised, Nanjing, Zaoyang, these two battles, it seems that he has no choice, but in the end? Ladies and gentlemen, General China is a member of the China Army, and he is also a representative of the young generals in the Central Army of Chuiqing, and his every move must be treated with caution

After finishing speaking, Anan looked up at the head of the intelligence section, Morimura Eiichi: "Morimura-kun, are there any moves in the Ninth War Zone?" ”

"The Ninth Theater of Operations accepted four. The youth army of the division, in addition to the US military advisory group, entered the Ninth Theater and began to reorganize the Zhina Army in the Ninth Theater. In addition, a batch of American-style equipment was accepted. Morimura's face showed that he was very confident, and he also had a reason to do so, before the Suizao Campaign, the status of the Intelligence Division in the headquarters of the 11th Army was relatively low, but after the Suizao Battle, the status of the Intelligence Division rose significantly.

However, Morimura's answer did not satisfy Anan, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Has there been any change in the Chinese army in northern Xiangbei?"

"No, the Shina Army south of the Xinqiang River is still the Twentieth Army and the Twentieth Army of the Sichuan Army, and there is no change Morimura's reply is relatively simple, but Anan nodded with satisfaction, the Eleventh Army is not afraid of any theater of operations to attack alone, but if the two theaters attack together, it will be a big trouble.

"If so, General Shina's move should be defensive." Kinoshita also thought clearly at this time, the 49th Group Army adopted a deep configuration, not all of which were pressed to the front line, and the mobilization of the 60th Army could also be interpreted as a concern for the 33rd Group Army.

"At present, it is not clear that General Shina is going to launch a quick attack, but I telegraphed to the commander of the Uchiyama Division and the commander of the Chengtian Division to pay close attention to the current changes in the enemy situation." After Anan Weiji finished speaking, he looked at the officers around him: "But, gentlemen, do you pay attention, this of General China, the arrangement of troops gives us a chance, an opportunity to attack the 49th Group Army of the strong army of China" Speaking of this, he picked up the command pole and pointed to the sand table: "Only one of the 108th Division of the 102nd Army of the 49th Group Army went out to the Zhongxiang area, this division was heavily damaged by the imperial army in Fujin Mountain, and the division commander Wang Mingzhang was killed, and on the left flank of the 108th Division was the 32nd Division of the 86th Army of the Upper Yangtze River Command, On the right flank is the 60th Army, and on the right is the 4th Division of the 77th Army" The commander of the Yang Division is the deputy commander of the 77th Army, He Ji, who was transferred out of the 77th Army, according to intelligence, this division is very resentful, and the 86th Army is Chen Cheng's system troops, everyone, just imagine, once the 49th Army and the 60th Army are punished by the imperial army, what will the two forces react? ”

I wish you a happy New Year and all the best. Call for monthly pass support!!!!!!!
