[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 681: Haze (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

As soon as Major General Suzuki's voice fell, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Gentlemen, there is an old saying in the people of China, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent in a hundred battles, which was said by Sun Tzu, a famous military strategist in China more than 2,000 years ago, which means that before the battle starts, you must find out the situation of the opponent, so as to achieve the final victory. Therefore www.biquge.info we must not only make a breakthrough in military affairs, but more importantly, we must also make breakthroughs in intelligence and many other aspects. ”

"In order to ascertain the deployment of troops and military traffic in Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwushan north of the Yellow River in the 1st Theater of China, as well as the river crossing points and river crossing equipment from Pinglu to the east to both sides of the Yellow River in Wenxian County, the reconnaissance aircraft units of the Front Army at Yuncheng and Xinxiang airfields conducted many visual reconnaissance and aerial photography. The number of garrisons is judged by the number of playgrounds near towns and villages of each unit in the 1st Theater of Operations. ”

"And by reconnoitring the lack of defensive areas and bridgeheads around the various crossing points on the north bank of the Yellow River, it was determined that when the campaign was launched, each would send a rapid attack from Pinglu to the east and from Wenxian to the west along the north bank, blockading the Yellow River to cut off the retreat of the defenders to the south bank and to stop the reinforcement of the troops on the south bank. According to the strong fortification of each mountain pass, the route of the roundabout attack was determined. According to the construction of the defensive positions on the first line of the defenders, the breakthrough points for the offensive of each brigade and wing are selected. ”

"Since the front army carried out relatively systematic aerial reconnaissance before the attack, it had a clearer purpose in formulating operational plans and making specific preparations. A week ago, all the staff officers of the Front Army Headquarters and the Operations Division conducted a thorough study and preparation for the operational guidance at all stages, discovered problems and proposed measures by means of operational deduction on the map and on-the-spot guidance. All units are required to conduct pre-battle training according to their mission and terrain. It can be said that although this operation was proposed in a hurry, the preparations were extremely sufficient, and the certainty of victory was more than eighty percent! ”

As soon as Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, warm applause rang out in the conference room.

"After careful arrangements, the front army will attack from Shanxi Province with our 1st Army and the 21st and 35th Divisions directly under the Central Government from Henan Province, and it is determined to divide the combat area into two areas, east and west, on the Zhangma-Yuanqu line, and always keep the focus on the western region. In the front, we will make use of the existing positions and the obstacles of the Yellow River to cut off the retreat route with the advancing troops, break through the enemy's position with great speed from the areas on both sides, and completely encircle the enemy, and then completely encircle the enemy by rapid internal annihilation and repeated sweeps."

"After this period of assembly and requisition, and with the cooperation of the intelligence department and plainclothes troops, the 36th, 37th, and 41st Divisions, the 3rd and 9th Independent Brigades, and the 24th Division of the Imperial Allied Army have entered the predetermined area, and are distributed in Jiangxian County, Henglingguan, Wenxi, Xia County, Anyi, Yuncheng, Jiezhou, Yongji, Fenglingdu, Hejin, Wenxi, and Xia County north of Zhongtiao Mountain, and can launch an attack at any time."

In addition, the 33rd Division and the 4th Independent Brigade are distributed in the Yangcheng, Qinchi, and Qinshui areas. The 35th and 21st Divisions and the puppet army Zhang Lanfeng and Liu Yanfeng were distributed in Wenxian, Qinyang, Boai, Dongfeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Gaoping, Changzi, Lingchuan and other areas. The pre-war preparations have been completed, just waiting for the final order from the Front......"

"Papapapa" was another round of warm applause.

Then Yoshio Shinozuka got up and said: "Gentlemen, some time ago, the front army suffered an unprecedented blow from the Shina side, and it can be said that it has become the laughing stock of the Imperial Japanese Army, so the shame must be washed away with the blood of the Shina people, please!" ”

"Hay!" All the generals stood up at the same time and answered loudly.

"Gentlemen, let's work together, the Great Japanese Imperial Army! His Majesty the Emperor Onboard (Long live)! ”

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is onboard!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

......

At the same time that the high-ranking officers of the Japanese army gathered in Taiyuan to discuss the use of troops against Zhongtiao Mountain, the First Theater of the Nationalist Government also sensed the danger, and Wei Lihuang, commander of the First Theater, also urgently convened an operational meeting in Luoyang, and at the same time, Chongqing sent He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, to guide the operation.

Luoyang, the large conference room of the First Theater Command.

Like the conference room of the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan, it is also a star-studded place. If the Japanese knew that almost all the generals of the First War Zone were gathered here today, they might only need a few heavy bombs to reimburse all the essence of the First War Zone, and if they succeeded, perhaps Nakajo Mountain would have been able to defeat even if there was no battle plan.

In the conference room, He Yingqin and Wei Lihuang sat side by side, showing an unparalleled prominent position, and the commanders and commanders of the rest of the group armies were on both sides of the long conference table, and there were twenty or thirty people.

At the beginning of the meeting, in view of the fact that the great god He Yingqin had just arrived in Henan and was not clear about the actual situation in the First Theater and Jinnan, Wei Lihuang asked Chief of Staff Guo Jiqiao to first introduce the troop allocation in the First Theater.

Guo Jiqiao immediately got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the troops under my command in the 1st Theater have a total of 8 group armies. The troops south of the Yellow River included Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Army, which was stationed in Zhengzhou and Gongxian to the west and the area south of Xinzheng, guarding the enemy's 35th Division in Zhongmu, Kaifeng, and Wenxian north of the Yellow River; On the south bank of the Yellow River in Xin'an, west of Gongxian to Luoyang, Sun Weiru's 4th Army was stationed; On the south bank of the Yellow River, west of Xin'an to Tongguan, Li Jiayu's 36th Army was stationed; In the area north of Xinyang to Zhumadian, there was Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army; In the Nanyang and Yexian areas, Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army was stationed, but Tang Enbo's division was better equipped and its personnel were large, so it was used in the 1st and 5th theaters. ”

"And our army has a lot of troops in southern Jin, including 3 group armies and 3 corps, which are stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain north of the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain in the southeast of Jin. In the western part of the Zhongtiao Mountains, east of Maojindu in Pinglu County and north of the line of Yuanqu, Zeng Wanzhong's 5th Army and Kong Lingsui's 80th Army were stationed. From Yuanqu to the north of the line of Jiaying and Nanzhuang east of Mengxian, Liu Maoen's 14th Army and Pei Changhui's 9th Army were stationed. In Lin County, Henan Province, east of the Taihang Mountains, and Shexian County, Hebei Province, Pang Bingxun's 24th Group Army was stationed. Fan Hanjie's 27th Army was stationed in Lingchuan County, southeast of Changzhi. ”

After listening to Guo Jiqiao's report, He Yingqin nodded. Before he came, he deliberately asked people to collect the situation of the first theater of operations, and at the same time, he also knew that the focus of this operation should be in the Nakajo Mountain area, so he also asked people to collect the garrison situation in the direction of Nakajo Mountain. It was known that the 1st Theater was in the Zhongtiao Mountain area north of the Yellow River, and 7 corps were deployed, and the other 4 corps were deployed in the Taiyue and Taihang Mountains. These seven armies are backed by the Yellow River and rely on the Zhongtiao Mountain, forming a semicircular defense area of about 150 kilometers from east to west and 50 kilometers from north to south.

Now it seems that the situation collected by the Ministry of Military Affairs is similar to the actual situation in the First War Zone, or even identical, which makes He Yingqin's heart can't help but cast a shadow.

He Yingqin has been the Minister of Military Affairs and a senior official of the state government for so many years, and it is natural to follow the situation within the National Government. In particular, after the leakage of secrets by the Nanjing Military Commission, He Yingqin attached great importance to the infiltration ability of the Japanese army's intelligence organs.

He originally thought that the deployment of the troops he had collected should be very different from that of the First War Zone, after all, all the information was reported to the Military Commission by the First War Zone two months ago, but he did not expect that after two months, the garrison situation in the First War Zone was still the same, and there was no change in the slightest.

He Yingqin believed that the Japanese could also find out what they could find, because after all, the Japanese intelligence gathering capability was there, and with the infiltration of all aspects of China by the Japanese army's special high school, the defensive situation in the First Theater would certainly not escape the eyes of the Japanese.

Everyone understands the truth that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible in a hundred battles, not to mention that He Yingqin is an officer with very rich combat experience, how can he not understand this. Because of this, before the battle began, He Yingqin's heart was clouded with a haze! (To be continued.) )
