Guide, the joint command of the Japanese army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General Dohihara, what are you worried about?" After successfully reuniting with Ushijima's detachment, Kenji Dohihara finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time it was too much of a hanging, and if he was one step too late, he might be caught up by the Chinese army.
The combat effectiveness of the new 38th Division, the heavy artillery brigade and the armored brigade under Leng Feng's command, and the use of infantry and tank coordination tactics opened his eyes.
In comparison, the Japanese Army is far inferior.
In the First Civil Rights War, Kenji Dohihara was completely sober, and if the Great Japanese Empire wanted to conquer China, it would definitely not be able to rush for success and profit, and it must advance steadily.
China is too big, and the population and resources are innumerable, and a random person like Leng Feng will cause the Japanese Empire to lose its troops and generals, and then under the condition of grasping absolute superiority, it will continue to lose troops and lose the battle.
"Ushijima-kun, aren't you worried?"
"General Tu Feiyuan is talking about the honorary first division, right?" Mitsuru Ushijima is also a person who has suffered losses, and he can understand the hardships and difficulties of Kenji Dohihara.
"It's a new army now."
"According to the intelligence of the empire, the new first army has occupied northern Henan, and the one surrounding us is the first corps of the Eastern Henan Army of the National MD Army, the commander is called Xue Boling, who fought in the Battle of Shanghai, and is the best among the generals of the Chinese army."
"Yes, although this person is difficult to deal with, he can still deal with it, the problem is, there is still a force that we need to be vigilant against!"
"The Chinese Army in Taierzhuang, the new 38th Division?"
"That's right, speaking of which, Ushijima-kun has the most feelings."
"Yes, I don't actually have much feeling about the new First Army, but I do have contact with the new 38th Division, when I was in Yuxikou, my troops were defeated by this new 38th Division, and I almost became a prisoner, and later in Pukou, Nanjing, it was also the river defense position of this unit guarding the north bank, I was in cooperation with the two destroyers of the Navy, and in the end it fell short, the commander of this army, I learned carefully afterwards, he was just a battalion commander of the Central Army before that." Ushijima felt uncomfortable when he thought of these disgraceful experiences.
If it were someone else, he would never mention this, but he could tell Kenji Dohihara, because the two of them felt a little sympathetic.
"I'm a little worried, once the Chinese army can't attack for a long time, with my understanding of them, the first is to keep increasing troops, using the advantage of troops, to overwhelm us, but they can't do this, although we only have tens of thousands of troops, but as long as we continue to supply, there is no way to take us." Kenji Dochihara.
"That's what the general said."
"But our opponent is not a fool, such a tactic of adding fuel is a taboo for soldiers, since that Xue Boling is a veteran general in the army, he will naturally understand this truth, so he will definitely not use this tactic, the most likely is that the new 38th Division, which is close at hand, will join the battle sequence of besieging us!"
"What does the general mean that we may have to face this new 38th Division next?" Sano Tadayoshi said, "According to Toshima-kun's report, the new 38th Division was dragged by him in Caozhou, and there was no chance to go south at all?" ”
"Yes, general, Toshima-kun's side can still hold on for some time, and if the new 38th Division goes south, it will definitely not be able to hide from Toshima-kun."
"Sano-kun's analysis makes sense."
"How many days has the new 38th Division besieged Caozhou?"
"It's the fifth day since I came down today."
"Five days." Kenji Dohihara silently muttered this "number of days" in his heart, five days, it was too unusual, he had only slightly touched the combat effectiveness of the new 38th Division, and he had no specific perception, but the blitzkrieg in the north of Minquan was too shocking. It completely broke his perception of China and the military.
The organizational ability and combat effectiveness of a force that can achieve such an amazing blow must be amazing, and such a powerful army actually spent five days with less than 3,000 Japanese troops in Caozhou.
Isn't this a strange thing, could it be said that the joint air strike really knocked out his armored forces and artillery?
If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Kenji Dohihara wouldn't believe it, even if the captain of his cavalry wing brought back conclusive news, he was still suspicious.
He knew very well how meticulous and cunning his opponent's mind was, how could he leave such a big hole for him to exploit, maybe it was just what he made to lose the car to protect the commander.
The true power was hidden by him.
Therefore, in the past few days, at the request of Kenji Dohihara, the North China Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army has continuously sent reconnaissance planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance in eastern Henan and Luxi, in an attempt to find the clues left behind.
As a result, nothing was found, and even the chief of staff, Tadayoshi Sano, felt that His Excellency the commander of the division was a little nervous, such an obvious result, his subordinates saw it with their own eyes, can it be fake?
At this time, every victory, even if it was a small one, was precious to Kenji Dohihara and the 14th Division, and it was a very important measure for the base camp to judge the responsibility in this battle in the future.
"Ushijima-kun, where are our reinforcements?"
"The main force of the 106th Division has arrived in Bengbu, Anhui Province, or in less than three days, we will be able to go north to join us, and at that time, even if there is a double of the Chinese army, we can easily defeat them!" Ushijima said confidently.
"I hope so." Kenji Dohihara responded lightly.
Xue Boling has repeatedly moved the headquarters of the First Corps in eastern Henan from Kaifeng, first Qixian, and now it has been moved to Minquan, in addition to the headquarters, but also with the army, the first main force under Hu Shoushan, and also his descendant troops, the first division of the first army, division commander Li Tie, this is also the strongest combat effectiveness in Xue Boling's hands, the most complete army, not long after arriving at the battlefield in eastern Henan.
Originally, it was intended to be used in the final annihilation battle against the Tuhihara Division, and it was decided in one fell swoop, but now it can only be used in the battle against the Japanese army that returned to Germany.
"Chief Xue, why are you so happy?"
"Guess what?" Xue Boling rarely showed a smile on his face and joked with his chief of staff.
"Madame called, has the old man's condition eased?" Wu Xiqi subconsciously guessed.
"No, no, guess again!"
"Has the tide of the war turned around for Germany?"
"Almost, the chairman transferred the heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade of the New First Army to me." Xue Boling smiled, obviously this is a happy thing, with heavy artillery that can suppress the Japanese army, this battle will be easy to fight.
"Really?" When Wu Xiqi heard this, his eyes lit up, how could he, the chief of staff, not know that it was not that the Nationalist Army did not invest enough troops, but that the Nationalist Army did not have the weapons to suppress the Japanese army, and it was undoubtedly a suicidal act to rely on flesh and blood to harden the steel shells of the anti-Japanese army.
After five days of fighting, the casualties were so large, but the progress was not smooth, everyone knew that this was the reason, but Xue Boling also had his own difficulties, if the artillery of these troops could be concentrated, it might be able to blast a hole in the Japanese fortifications, but in this way, the attacking national army would have no artillery support, and the casualties would be greater.
Although these troops were under his command, it would not be easy to concentrate the artillery they were to use.
At the very least, it will be easy to convince these generals.
It was not unnoticed that during the Battle of Taierzhuang, Li Delin commanded the troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese Seya detachment, and penetrated the Japanese fortifications in a short time.
The reason is one, concentrating heavy firepower to strike at the Japanese fortifications in depth, and at once the Japanese army's defense was shattered, thus laying the foundation for victory.
Xue Boling also wanted to do this, but he didn't have this condition, although the military committee would allocate him with a few artillery regiments, but there were only two directly under him, and the performance of the artillery was not as good as that of the Japanese army, and it could not achieve the effect of suppression.
What Xue Boling lacked in his hand was heavy artillery, and it was also a heavy artillery that could hit far away and was extremely powerful.
Now that there is heavy artillery, and there are still two heavy artillery regiments, plus the artillery in his own hands, Xue Boling can concentrate more than four regiments of artillery, and with the cooperation of the armored brigade, the charging infantry will at least not become a target, and the fire support for the attack is also available.
As for the kind of sharp weapon to fight tanks, he only mentioned it by the way, it is good to be able to get it, but if he can't get it, it doesn't matter, whether there is a question or not.
"Old Wu, you immediately gather all the staff officers, formulate an attack plan, and launch a surprise attack as soon as the heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade of the new First Army are in place!"
"Okay."
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"A call from the cold commander of the new First Army."
"He's not slow, and as soon as I was notified, his telegram came." Xue Boling raised his head slightly, "Old Wu, I have a hunch that it's not good." ”
"No, although Leng Guoguang is not very easy to communicate, he is still very righteous."
"Look at it, I don't know what conditions to put forward to me in the telegram."
"Chief Xue, I really let you say it, Leng Guoguang said in the telegram that if he can recover and return to Germany, he doesn't want anything else, and the captured Japanese heavy equipment will be given to him."
"Damn, his appetite is too big." Xue Boling's eyes instantly widened, and a murderous aura surged up, obviously angry.
"Chief Xue, what's going on?" Wu Xiqi also felt a little angry, this guy is simply a lion's mouth, how can there be such a thing, isn't it just a heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade that surged you, you want so much?
Without Zhang Butcher, can you only eat even hairy pigs?
Xue Boling is not a person who uses troops with high spirits, what Leng Feng asked for is actually not excessive, if this battle really does not have his heavy artillery brigade, even if he can win, he will have to pay an extremely painful price, this price can no longer be paid by the country and the army.
Besides, it's not that people don't pay nothing, at least they consume manpower and material resources, and there are an unknown number of shells, and they want to compensate, which is also reasonable.
But who doesn't want this heavy equipment, according to the rules, what you get in your hands, can you still let it out?
What's more, Xue Boling can't be the master alone.
"Tell him that I can guarantee to him all the captured Japanese artillery, tanks and armored vehicles within my ability." Xue Boling thought for a moment and commanded.
"Really give?"
"Can you not give it, if I don't give it, he can let the heavy artillery brigade walk me on the road for three or five days!" Xue Boling Road.
"Don't you dare, it's a big sin to delay the fighter!"
"Do you know where this heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade are now?" Xue Boling asked, and Wu Xiqi's face was suddenly wonderful.
