Chapter 139: Hit the division headquarters

The strong smell of gunpowder in the air was a little out of breath for the staff officers who were a higher rank than ordinary people, and the sound of guns and cannons outside was rumbling, but the inside of the headquarters was unusually quiet, and within a few dozen minutes of the battle between the two sides, the armored troops of Huaxia broke through the three lines of defense of the army one after another, and if they continued like this, it was estimated that it would not take them an hour to reach the headquarters of the division and regiment.

The Western Front is the 9th Division and the 57th Division of the Kwantung Army, the 8th and 12th Divisions on the Northern Front, and the 1st and 24th Divisions on the Southern Front.

(Forgive the rangers, I really can't find the establishment of the Kwantung Army in 38, I can only use the establishment at the end of 41 as that time, in order to find this, I searched the Internet for a whole day, and I still didn't find it.) )

In fact, the Kwantung Army did not attach special importance to the 99th Army, and their main work was to guard against the Soviet Union and prevent changes in Manchukuo. If the Kwantung Army can pay enough attention, it is estimated that there will be at least eight divisions instead of six divisions coming here this time.

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke stood in the headquarters, looking at everyone in the headquarters with some anger in his eyes, he really didn't understand, how could the 57th Division let the 99th Army break through the position in such a short period of time? However, the fact is that the 767th Division, with the cooperation of the armored brigade, first broke through the position of the 57th Division, and then a few minutes later, the 9th Division was also breached, but now Yoshizumi Ryosuke has pushed all the charges to the side of the 57th Division.

"General, I think we might as well ask for help from the Eighth and Twelfth Divisions, or the First and Twenty-fourth Divisions, if we continue like this, we will have to be forced to retreat." The chief of staff of the Ninth Division, Nakagawa Kosa, said with some frustration.

The strategy of encircling the 99th Army without attacking it, first encircling the 99th Army for a few days, and then letting the air force bomb them without interruption, and finally attacking the whole army in three directions, and completely annihilating the 99th Army in one fell swoop, was put forward by Nakagawa Guang. This time, the campaign headquarters specially sent Deputy Chief of Staff Ishihara Wanji to command the operation, and Ishihara Wanji also adopted Nakagawa Hiroshi's suggestion.

Although the earliest plan was also forced to change, because of the dynamics of the Soviet Red Army, they had to settle the dispute here as soon as possible, and then support the border area as soon as possible, but their plan after changing was to start attacking at eight o'clock this morning.

Who would have thought that the 99th Army would launch a breakthrough two hours ahead of them, and it would be so out of control that in less than an hour, the vanguard was about to hit the division headquarters, and at this time, everyone did not think about anything else at all except shock.

"Yaga, Nakagawa-kun, don't you know what will happen if we ask for support?" Ryosuke Yoshizumi clenched his hands tightly, and the green tendons on them seemed to burst open, showing his anger.

It is said that the position of staff officer in the military establishment is a relatively special position, if it is placed in peacetime, don't look at Nakagawa Hiroshi as just a big sa, and still dare to argue with Yoshizumi Ryosuke, a lieutenant general, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke really can't take Nakagawa Hiro. But now Nakagawa Hiroshi does not have the slightest courage to dare to come hard with Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the battle plan was proposed by him, and the above has also been adopted, and now there is a problem, the Ninth Division can't stop the attack, so the first unlucky one is Yoshizumi Ryosuke.

Nakagawa Hiroshi has even seen Yoshizumi Ryosuke's future words, so at this time he will no longer call Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and he will speak more gently, which makes people sound more comfortable. And Nakagawa Hiroshi also seemed to have seen the scene of serving in the domestic reserve forces, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and it was expected that this time it was not only the two of them who were unlucky, but also many people who were unlucky.

And the most important thing is that even if Nakagawa Hiroshi is a staff officer, the defeat of the army has little to do with him, but this time the situation is a little special, once the army loses, Nakagawa Hiroshi does not dare to imagine his future. It is a major battle involving six divisions and regiments, if the opinions put forward by themselves are wrong and lead to failure, so many generals will be unlucky, and everyone will use a little means casually, it is one thing whether Nakagawa Hiroshi can continue to stay in the army.

"Your Excellency, I know very well what this result is, but if we don't ask for reinforcements, the consequences will be unimaginable, far beyond what you and I can bear." Nakagawa Guang said worriedly, to be honest, although things are a little bad, but they are not completely out of control, and Nakagawa Guang is also a person with some talent, and he came up with a solution to the problem in a short time, although I don't know if it will work, but there is a solution.

But Yoshizumi Ryosuke's attitude made Nakagawa Hiroshi lose confidence suddenly, he knew very well that Yoshizumi Ryosuke's worries were nothing more than afraid of losing face, he was now just taking care of his own face, not responsible for the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers in the entire division. In fact, from the perspective of Nakagawa Hiroshi, it is right to say that this is to avoid greater losses as much as possible.

"Report to Your Excellency, the 766th Division on the Northern Front is showing signs of increasing its strength on the Western Front, and the troops of one of their brigades have begun to move westward, attempting to form an encirclement with the 767th Division from the north, and the troops of the other brigade are on alert, and it seems that they are worried that the Eighth and Twelfth Divisions will leave the city." While Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Nakagawa Hiroshi were thinking about each other, a bloodstained soldier suddenly ran in from outside, reporting loudly.

Hearing this news, Yoshizumi Ryosuke couldn't help but take a step back, and Nakagawa Hiroshi was even weaker in his calves, if he hadn't supported the chair in front of him in time, it was estimated that he would have sat directly on the ground.

"Your Excellency General, please give an order, it will be too late if you don't give an order, now that the infantry of the 767th Division has not all been put into battle, we are a little unable to resist, if we are driven by the reinforcements of the 766th Division, it will be even more difficult for us to resist their attack." Nakagawa Hiroshi hurriedly shouted loudly, now he couldn't care about those previous worries, he only knew that if he didn't invite reinforcements again, they would be very likely to be annihilated.

As one of the most elite veteran first-class divisions in the empire, the Ninth Division must not suffer such huge losses. The 99th Army had previously suffered heavy losses to the 5th and 10th Divisions and annihilated the 14th Division, and if the 9th Division was added, he was sure that the 99th Army would definitely be called the nemesis of the Imperial Class A Division, and he would not allow this kind of thing to happen in public or private.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke lowered his head helplessly, waved his hand at the soldier, and signaled him to inform the Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division according to what the chief of staff said, Nakagawa Hiroshi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, as long as Yoshizumi Ryosuke let go, with the assistance of the Eighth Division, he should be able to delay the attack of the Ninety-ninth Army.

Now he suddenly believed some of the previous rumors, judging from the current situation, this Ninety-ninth Army was indeed capable of annihilating the Imperial Class A Division within six hours.
