[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 232: The Strange Man Who Embarrassments the Japanese Army (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for everything!) ）

Hukou. The headquarters of the Seventh Division.

Ma Zheng, who was frowning, was pacing around the headquarters, and suddenly he raised his head and asked Huang Sicheng, who was looking at the map on the side, "How is the situation on the front line of Peng Ze?" ”

"For the time being, there has not been much mistake, the Japanese army has attacked for four days in a row, and only captured the first line of defense at the east gate of Pengze, and the first line of Nanshan and Shuangfengjian is still controlled by Xue Yue's department, and the Japanese army should not be able to occupy Pengze City in a short period of time." Huang Sicheng said.

"Not necessarily, the most important thing in Pengze City is the first line of defense in Shanglingbao, as for the second line of defense outside Pengze City, it is actually the same as not, there are no fortifications, there is no terrain to the terrain, and it is very difficult to defend the Japanese army with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. However, Xue Yue, a tiger cub, is not a vegetarian, and his strategic and tactical level is not comparable to that old thing in Honma Masaharu, so it shouldn't be a problem to keep it for another seven or eight days! Ma Zheng said.

"Xue Yuegui is the commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the Ninth War Zone, and his command is all the elite of the Ninth War Zone, and it is not an ordinary difficulty for the Japanese army to recapture Peng Ze from his hands. Besides, the main force of the Japanese naval fleet is still in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is not very helpful to the army, I think Xue Yue is fine! Huang Sicheng also said.

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said, "If there is no problem on Xue Yue's side, there will be trouble on our side, so we have to prepare in advance!" ”

"The commander means that the Japanese army may make a detour behind Peng Ze to attack Hukou?" Huang Sicheng immediately asked.

"Well, what the Japanese army is best at is long-distance roundabout, whether it is the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Xuzhou, or the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army is the Kuomintang troops defeated by this tactic, and we have to guard against it!"

Then. Ma Zheng pointed to the map and said: "Look here, yes is Huanghua Town, it is said that Xue Yue has only arranged an infantry regiment here, and Furong Dun Town has arranged a battalion of troops, once the Japanese army inserts Huanghua Town from Madang, and then captures Furong Dun Town." These divisions in Pengze City were dumpled by the Japanese army, which was very dangerous. ”

"The commander thinks very reasonably, so do you want us to remind General Xue Yue?" Huang Sicheng said with a frown.

"No need, Xue Boling is a proud person, and the more you remind that guy, the less you care. It just so happened that we had rested and recuperated these days, and it was time to move our muscles, so we ordered the troops to assemble immediately and move at night! Ma Zheng said.

"Commander, you're not going to wipe Xue Boling's ass, are you?" Huang Sicheng immediately asked.

"I'm going to wipe his ass, I want to go back to the base early. Now the little devil's troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River have been killed by us, and one division and one brigade have been killed. In addition, the 106th Division was also half-crippled, and the losses were extremely heavy. If we annihilate one or two more brigades, the little devils will not be able to launch another attack on Wuhan, and then we will have completed our merits. Ma Zheng said.

"And what are you going to do?" Huang Sicheng said.

"Once the Japanese army can't break through the defense of Pengze City in the front, it will inevitably outflank it, and then we only need to **** a guy on its way." Ma Zheng said.

"Ambush?"

"What, can't you ambush it?" Ma Zheng asked rhetorically.

"That's not it, it's just that if the little devil is outflanked. There will definitely be no shortage of troops, and I am afraid that there will be no suitable terrain for ambushes. What's more, we don't know when the little devil will come. There's no way to wait! Huang Sicheng said.

"You'll know how to fight this then, and it doesn't matter when the little devil arrives, as long as you know that those **** are coming."

After speaking, Ma Zheng said again: "Immediately let the 200th Regiment, the Guard Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the Fire Support Regiment urgently assemble, and set off as soon as it gets dark at night, aiming at Huanghua Town!" ”

"Yes"

Madang. Headquarters of the 11th Army.

The fact that the 27th Division stopped at Pengze County made Okamura Ninji very angry, and to be honest, Okamura Ninji had high expectations for Honma Masaharu. Although Honma Masaharu's actual ability to command troops has yet to be tested, he is considered by many people in Japan to be a very capable military theorist, and many actions in the Japanese army base camp have his shadow, and the results are very good.

In addition, the 27th Division under Masaharu Honma was not an unknown division, although it was not formed for a long time. However, this division was formed from the Chinese garrison corps with strong combat effectiveness, and the Battle of Wuhan was also the first battle after the formation of the 27th Division.

In Okamura Ninji's view, the more than 16,000 people of the 27th Division, coupled with the cooperation of the aviation force, could break through Pengze, which had no dangerous terrain advantage. But I didn't expect that five full days had passed, and I still hadn't been able to take this small county seat.

At this time, the 106th Division reported that its headquarters had basically recovered its combat strength, and then Okamura Ninji ordered the headquarters of Junrokuro Matsuura to meet him.

When Junrokuro Matsuura came, Ninji Okamura was conducting a tactical deduction with the combat staff officer on the sand table, and when he saw Junrokuro Matsuura coming in, he immediately said: "Junrokuro Matsuura is here, please take a seat!" ”

"Hay!" Junrokuro Matsuura said loudly.

After the two sat down across a solid wood square table, Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice: "Matsuura-kun, the 27th Division's attack on the Pengze front line was blocked, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Junrokuro Matsuura immediately said: "What is expected, there is nothing strange about it!" ”

"Oh, Matsuura-kun seems to have expected that it would be impossible for Honma-kun's troops to break through the Shina defenders on the front line of Pengze, why is that?" Okamura asked in a deep voice.

"I wonder how much Your Excellency the Commander knows about Xue Yue, the commander of Peng Ze's Zhina?" Junrokuro Matsuura did not answer Okamura Ninji's question, but asked rhetorically.

"I've heard of Xue Yue, a strong general of the Cantonese system, a confidant of Jiang, and quite a strategic vision!" Okamura Ninji Road.

"Your Excellency Commander, in fact, Xue Yue still has a layer of identity that you don't know!" Junrokuro Matsuura said in a deep voice.

"What identity?"

"He is a disciple of Jiang Fangzhen, a famous military strategist in China!" Junrokuro Matsuura said.

"Jiang Fangzhen! Do you mean Jiang Baili, the author of China's "Theory of National Defense"? Okamura asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's the man! This person is now a senior adviser to the China government and acting president of the Army University, and is known as a master of modern military science in China, and is Chiang's most relied on senior aid, as well as the main designer of the China government's war against Japan. Junrokuro Matsuura said.

"Jiang Baili is naturally known to me, and his book "On National Defense" is known as the cornerstone of China's national defense thought. This person studied the art of war intensively, and possessed a strategic mind, and was a rare genius in China's modern military history. Okamura Ninji said.

The one just now is naturally no stranger to Jiang Baili, the two have not only met and worked together, but even heard of the name Jiang Baili as early as when Okamura Ningji was in school. What's more, they are strictly counted as teachers and alumni, and Jiang Baili's deeds are still circulating in the school today.

Jiang Baili studied in Japan in his early years, studying at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, he was the strategist who caused the most headaches in Japan, and he was also an extremely embarrassing figure in the history of the Japanese Army. In the words of the Japanese, although China's Jiang Baili was an army general who only talked about martial arts, he easily defeated the Japanese army with one Jiang Baili.

That was when Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School, and easily won the first place. In front of all the Japanese graduates, the Emperor of Japan customarily awarded him his sword, while his classmate, Sadao Araki, who later became a Japanese army general, land minister, and Class A war criminal, could only applaud and stare dryly from the audience.

The same class of classmates who graduated at the same time with Sadao Araki applauded and stared dryly in the audience also included Koiso Kuniaaki, Honjo Shigeru, Matsui Ishine, Abe Nobuyuki and other elites of the Japanese Army. Under their noses, Jiang Baili took the Japanese emperor's sword with ease and ease, and this hatred lingered, and Sadao Araki and others thought that this was a great shame for the Japanese army.

And Okamura Ningji also studied in Lu Shi in his early years, so he naturally heard of Jiang Baili's deeds. Therefore, Lu Shi, from the principal to the instructor, often used this matter to warn students not to despise any opponent, even if it was a vulnerable person, but Okamura Ningji did not meet Jiang Baili's disciple on the front line in Wuhan, so it was fun to watch.
