Shanghai, Headquarters of the Japanese Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The ticking and ticking in the telegraph room is non-stop, and nearly 100 telegraph groups have not stopped since they sat down, their ears are full of the sound of code, and their right hand has been controlling the buttons, and even a faint pain, and after a long time, they will even lose consciousness.

The Japanese garrison had nearly one million people, and the number of telegrams was also amazing, and the 300 telegraph groups were constantly receiving and receiving these telegrams 24 hours a day.

Although the work was boring and boring, everyone knew the role of the telegraph room, and the two most important places in the headquarters were the location of the commander-in-chief, and this telegraph room.

In the headquarters, not long after dawn, many personnel had just gotten up, washed quickly, had breakfast, and then went to their posts to replace their colleagues on the night shift.

Although the headquarters was located in Shanghai, it was the busiest place before the war, even busier than the headquarters at the front. They have to constantly coordinate the offensive, deployment, strategy, tactics and other tasks of the troops, and they also need to make continuous adjustments according to the situation on the battlefield.

On the sand table map of the headquarters, the location and number of their own troops are clearly marked, but this sand table is not only the deployment of domestic troops, but also the deployment of Japanese troops in Hokkaido and Kyushu Island.

"The strength of these two divisions was directly boarded from Kyushu Island to Hokkaido, and after boarding, they have always emphasized that these two divisions were transferred to Tokyo to replenish the defensive void of the Guards Division leaving Tokyo. We only paid a little attention at the time, but we didn't pay much attention to it, and yesterday the two divisions suddenly appeared in Hakodate and launched an attack this morning. ”

"According to the information from the Fourth Division, there are four divisions of the Japanese troops that launched the attack this time, namely the Third Division, which arrived last night, the 17th Division, which has only been supported from Honshu Island in the last two days, and the 39th Division and the 27th Division, which were among the three divisions that supported earlier a few days."

"The 36th Division was basically disabled by the 371st Division the day before yesterday, so this time they did not receive a specific combat mission and jointly garrisoned Hakodate with the 4th Division. The commander of the Japanese army is Army General Yoshimasa Oshima, who has participated in many wars and has a better understanding of China, plus his previous experience, so Oshima Yoshimasa has a more political, economic and military vision. ”

"This is a ruthless man, from this battle plan, it is not difficult to see that if there is only one 371st Division, I estimate that it is a little reluctant." Cai Yi took the telegram and analyzed it little by little.

"The intelligence shows that there are four divisions, but the 371st Division has only seen two divisions so far, and the little devil wants to wrap up the 371st Division." Cao Kun sneered, "Aren't you afraid of choking yourself to death?" ”

"Commander, the little devil wants to rely on four divisions to swallow one of our divisions, if it is operated properly, it is not impossible to happen, the ammunition supply situation of the 371st Division is simply not enough to support them to fight with the four divisions at the same time, and the encirclement on all sides will also greatly disperse the strength of the 371st Division, once the Japanese army breaks through to the defensive line, the casualties of the 371st Division will inevitably increase suddenly, and the firepower advantage we rely on for survival will also come to naught. We must send at least one additional division of troops to support the 371st Division to avoid excessive casualties in the 371st Division. Cai Yi calmly suggested.

It is true that the Japanese army will not be able to swallow the 371st Division in a short period of time, but the four divisions are four or five times the strength of the 371st Division. If reinforcements are delayed, it will be difficult to say about the 371st Division next.

Even if they were able to break through, the losses would not be too small, and besides, their purpose was not to break through, but to turn Hakodate into a meat grinder, where at least 200,000 elite Japanese troops would be consumed.

Cao Kun fixed his eyes on the huge sand table, watching the deployment of troops between the enemy and us.

In recent days, because the fleet needs to transport a large amount of supplies to Japan, the transportation capacity is slightly insufficient, and in five days, only a 37th Army, and the 49th Division, a total of five divisions of the Army, and a tank battalion of troops have been transported, and the material is also relatively tight, and now most of the troops are still staying near the port, and the tight ammunition is given priority to the troops fighting on the front line as much as possible.

At present, the 37th Army is mainly responsible for the fighting, of which the 371st Division is responsible for the vicinity of Hakodate, and the 374th Division is responsible for the direction of Sapporo. The rest of the troops scattered around the area for occasional sweeps to clear the remnants of the Japanese army.

Compared to the 371st Division in Hakodate, the 374th Division, which was in charge of the Sapporo area, progressed very quickly, after all, there was no port there, and the Japanese army could not provide continuous support like Hakodate.

As early as the morning of the 10th, the 374th Division had already occupied Sapporo and found a suitable place to build an airfield about 10 kilometers east of Sapporo.

The requirements for field airfields are low, it is only necessary to harden the ground and then carry out leveling operations. For the Chinese Army, which is engaged in mechanized operations, this amount of work does not even need to be done by grasping strong men, and it can be done in less than a week by relying only on its own engineering vehicles.

And now the only troops that can be mobilized there in Ezashi Town are only a 49th Division and a tank battalion, and there is still a distance of about 50 kilometers from the battlefield, so it is in time, but will the Japanese feel anything about the sudden increase in the strength of a division?

The reason why they deployed only one 371st Division was to mislead the Japanese into believing that the Chinese navy had limited capacity and could not quickly transport large numbers of troops to Japan, hoping to lure the Japanese into sending more troops to Hakodate.

Of course, Japan's capacity is not very good, although it is slightly stronger than the Chinese navy, but it is better than the distance, so in the end the Japanese army must have much more troops than the Chinese army.

However, in Cao Kun's prediction, at the beginning of the Battle of Hakodate, the 109th Armored Division would all arrive in Japan, and as long as this armored division was present, plus a large number of air force units, even if the Japanese army had 200,000 more troops than himself, Cao Kun was not at all frightened.

In the past, the question in front of them was more about fighting or retreating? How to fight and retreat, how to support this kind of problem, and now there are too many happiness, and the problem in front of them has been replaced by how to support so as not to scare the Japanese army away, so as not to affect the future plan.

"Report, the Japanese army has broken through the defense line of the 371st Division, and the two sides are currently in close combat." While he was hesitating about what to choose, the signal soldier suddenly reported.

The battle on the front line completely disrupted Cao Kun's plan, how could the 371st Division be broken through the defensive line so quickly?

"First let the Japanese army out of control, and then the Japanese army broke through the position, what did he Huang Jianbin eat? Did the command give him the order to fart out? Cao Kun said angrily.

How long has it been since the enemy broke through the line of defense by the enemy? This kind of problem did not arise when the Chinese Army was not strong, but now it is stronger than before, but this kind of problem has arisen.

"Commander, you haven't been to Japan, so you probably don't know much about the situation in Japan. Japan is surrounded by the sea, and Hakodate is close to the sea, the place where the 371st Division is located is only less than 20 kilometers away from the coastline, and the longest land at the east and west ends is not more than 100 kilometers, Japan in spring, autumn and winter, when the sun rises in the morning, it is easier to fog, I think the Japanese army may have used the fog as a cover, quietly approaching the position, the 371st Division wants to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the position under such conditions is almost impossible.

According to the current situation, the 371st Division should not be able to run, they have been bitten by the Japanese army, if nothing else, in the next hour or two, the enemy troops of the other two divisions will attack from the other three sides one after another, and the 371st Division will be exhausted to deal with it.

Now we can only prepare for the worst, and even if this campaign is not carried out perfectly, at least all the Japanese troops in Hokkaido will remain. Cai Ye hurriedly said, as soon as he heard that the defense line of the 371st Division had been broken, he instantly understood what was going on.

Regarding the fog in Japan, Cai Ye had already warned the commanders on the front line, but even if you knew about this situation, you could only be helpless, and there was nothing you could do about it. I only hope that the Japanese army suffered enough heavy losses before breaking through the position, otherwise the 371st Division would have lost to my grandmother's house this time.

Originally, it was planned to kill at least 200,000 Japanese troops, but now it can only kill these five divisions, and there are only less than 80,000 troops when it is full, which is far from their expected results.

"Order the 49th Division and the Tank Battalion to immediately set out to support the 371st Division, mainly to defeat the Japanese troops attacking, prohibit the pursuit unless there are special circumstances, and maintain good contact with the 4th Division, if the Japanese want to evacuate Hakodate, pounce on them and kill them." Cao Kun said angrily.

Now that the Japanese army has broken through the defensive line, there is no choice, Cao Kun must send reinforcements to support the 371st Division, otherwise the 371st Division will not be able to resist the enemy forces on all sides at the same time. As a commander, Cao Kun is not arrogant at all in terms of operations, he knows well where the limits of the troops are, so he also knows when support is needed. (To be continued.) )
