Chapter 290 4: The Evolution of the Japanese Army's Battle Sequence (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

There are many people who have the same idea as Xu Hu, the Japanese army actually wants to defeat the 150,000 Chinese troops in front of them with just 30,000 people, they really think that the Chinese army is muddy, the Chinese soldiers are resisting burning sticks on their shoulders, and there are more than 100,000 stronger troops behind them.

Chen Feng didn't let the officers in the conference room guess for a long time, he continued to say loudly: "It's not that the Japanese are crazy, but that this combat plan of theirs does have a high success rate. You see, according to the operational plan formulated in advance in the Second World War Zone, the three armies commanded by Sun Weiru were originally going to start from Luliang and then attack Gujiao through this mountainous area, and their marching route was that the 15th Army was in front, the 47th Army was in the center, and the group army headquarters and the 38th Army were behind, and the distance between the three armies was 30 li. The Japanese 108th Division, the 15th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the Tank Wing, and the Artillery Wing were ambushed in the area of Liushuyan. If they attacked the 15th Army, then with the Japanese army's combat effectiveness and terrain advantage, the Japanese army could easily wipe out Liu Enmao's troops. And the 15th Army was ambushed, the 47th Army will definitely be reinforced, the distance of 30 miles, the fastest will take 2 hours, and when they arrive, I am afraid they can only see corpses all over the ground. At this time, if the Japanese army attacked the 47th Army, I am afraid that although the 47th Army will not be completely annihilated, there will be no problem in being defeated. Then the Japanese army took the initiative to attack the remnants of Sun Weiru's department, and the forces of both sides were equal. On the one hand, the army was defeated, and on the other hand, it had just achieved a major victory, and the morale was definitely not the same day, and the firepower of the Japanese army far exceeded that of Sun Weiru's department, and the Japanese army had a very high chance of winning this battle. ”

"And once the Japanese army defeats Sun Weiru's department, the other two armies in the second war zone will definitely be affected by it, and they will not dare to leave the flanks to the Japanese, and they will inevitably return to Luliang, and then the Japanese 20th Division will go south, and the second war zone will be undefeated before there is a ghost."

Li Wensheng frowned and said, "The main seat." According to you, the Japanese army did have a very high chance of winning. But how did the most Lu fight like this, and even Taiyuan was lost after the most Lu, and so many troops were lost. ”

"Hehehe, I have to talk about Liu Enmao's 15th Army. This unit was originally adapted from bandits in Henan. Accustomed to fighting in the mountains. And marching in the mountains is like a maverick. Before passing through Liushuyan, the 15th Army suddenly divided its troops, and the main force was lucky to jump out of the Japanese ambush circle, so that the Japanese had to let the 15th Army go. turned to ambush the 47th Army of the Central Army, completely disrupting the arrangement of Umezu Mijiro, plus Li Jiayu of the 47th Army was a fierce general, fighting to the death and not retreating, 20,000 people fought with the Japanese army into 2,000 people, and the 38th Army and the 15th Army fought well 4, plus we sent a large number of planes to assist them, and finally became Sun Weiru's three armies around the Japanese army, and the main force of Umezu Mijiro completely fell into a bitter battle, and was pinned down in the ravine and ravine, creating conditions for our army to capture Shimen. It can be said that Umezu Mijiro lost in luck this time, and even more lost in the improper use of people. Chen Feng said.

"This guy is unlucky!" Li Yifeng said with emotion.

"Although the Japanese were defeated, what worries me is that what this old devil dares to do this, is it obviously impossible for his eyes to really grow on the door of his head. That can only show that they already knew in advance the operational plan and marching route of the Second World War Zone, so they dared to take such a risk. Chen Feng said with a serious expression.

Hearing Chen Feng's analysis, everyone was shocked, yes, if the Japanese did not know their combat plan, how could they dare to do this, and they must know that they could not be sloppy on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of lives could be lost at every turn, and a high-ranking officer like Umezu Mijiro should not have made such a principled mistake.

"The battle plan is the most confidential information, how could the Japanese get it in the Second World War Zone, are they all a bunch of pigs?"

"Pigs are also stronger than them, and they are really not afraid of god-like enemies, but they are afraid of pig-like allies."

"Don't make any noise, this matter shouldn't have much to do with the World War II zone." Chen Feng stopped the discussion of the officers in the conference room.

"Sosa, how did you say the Japanese got the information?"

"Password!"

"Password?"

"Yes, the Japanese army was supposed to have obtained intelligence by intercepting and cracking the telegraph code of the World War Zone. You should know that the code of the telegram can be deciphered, as long as there is a code book, all the information intercepted by the enemy can be deciphered. We can do it, and of course the Japanese army can do it. And I can conclude that the Japanese must have mastered the telegraph code of the Second World War, otherwise they would not have been able to get such detailed information in such a short time, even the best intelligence officers could not. Chen Feng explained.

"Soza, is it that our intelligence has also been deciphered by the Japanese, and is the password we are using no longer secure?" Yang Yi hurriedly asked.

"I analyzed it, our passwords have been encrypted at three levels, and many of the encryption programs in them are mixed with the local dialects of the Saibei region, and the current level of the Japanese army should not have deciphered our passwords. It turns out that the Japanese army did not know in advance that we were going to attack Shimen, and the reason why they knew so much information about us must have been obtained from the Second World War Zone, so for now, our password is still safe. But the level of the Japanese army's deciphering code has suddenly increased so much, which makes me very worried, so the intelligence department seized the time to check and see what was going on! Chen Feng said.

"Yes"

At the same time that the Eighth Theater held an operational meeting in Datong, the Japanese North China Front also held an operational conference in Beiping, which was personally presided over by Binshanyuan, commander of the North China Front.

Bin Shan Yuan, who was pale, had just received a reprimand telegram from the base camp, and the harsh wording of the base camp made his former Lu Xiang completely unbearable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the erosion of the battle situation in Shanxi has disappointed His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp, especially for His Excellency Yoshio last month and the entire 40th Brigade, and I, the commander of the front army, have to bear the main responsibility. I have submitted a telegram requesting punishment to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Binshan Yuan's words made all the officers in the conference room breathe a sigh of relief, and General Binshan Yuan said this, which means that he has shouldered the responsibility for the defeat of Shanxi alone, and the front army does not need them to be the substitute for the dead ghosts.

Suddenly, Binshan Yuan said in a stern tone: "However, the bad impact of this battle on the Imperial Army and the entire Japanese Empire is far from over, due to our drag, His Excellency Yan Junliu's battle plan in Central China was forced to stop, and they are only less than 200 kilometers away from Wuhan, the current capital of China, and the country is very dissatisfied with the performance of the front army in North China. Most of them are seniors in the military. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander. The defeat in Shanxi was a mistake on the part of the lowly commander, and the lowly would explain the situation to the base camp and ask the base camp to deal with it, even if it was a military court. Humble duties will not in any way drag down the front army. General Umezu Mijiro stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Umezu. You are the commander of the First Army, though. However, the First Army was subordinate to the North China Front, and the first person responsible for the defeat was always me, and there was already an army general in charge of this battle. So you don't say anything to the base camp anymore. All you have to do is how to wash away the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army, with the blood and heads of the Shina people, you know? General Binshan Yuan said coldly.

"Hay!"

"Yo Xi, although the imperial army was defeated in this battle, but it was not without gains, at least this battle has confirmed the actual combat ability of Koga Daisa and her intelligence team, if this command is done properly, the first army can completely defeat the various armies of China without much effort, even if they occupy a transportation hub like Shimen, they will be attacked by our army on both sides as now. In view of Koga Osa's outstanding performance in this battle, with the approval of the base camp, Koga Osaku was promoted to the chief of intelligence of the front army, responsible for all intelligence collection and analysis work of the front army. Binshan Yuan Road.

Chiyoko Koga, who was sitting at the very end, hurriedly got up and said, "Hai! ”

After motioning for Chiyoko Koga to sit down, Binshan Moto continued: "In order to consolidate the law and order in the occupied areas in China, unify the deployment of troops, and facilitate the implementation of political strategies against the government of China, the base camp hereby issued Continental Order No. 362, ordering the formation of a Chinese dispatch army, with Nishio Toshizo as the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Tojo Hideki as the chief of the general staff, and the headquarters in Nanjing. At the same time, the Central China Dispatch Army was revoked. China's dispatched army commanded the North China Front, the 11th Army, the 13th Army, the 21st Army, and the 3rd Flying Group, with a total of 23 divisions and 17 brigades, with a total strength of 850,000. Our North China Front Army also made corresponding adjustments, abolished the headquarters of the 2nd Army, and transferred the 15th, 16th, and 33rd Divisions to the command of the 11th Army. The newly formed 110th Division, the 21st Division, and the Kwantung Army Cavalry Group were incorporated into our front army; The Yamashita Division was reorganized into the 27th Division and transferred to the 11th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army. At the same time, the Provisional Aviation Corps was renamed the Aviation Corps, transferred to the command of the China Dispatch Army, and organized into the North China Front Flying Corps. In addition, the commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Tsuchihara, returned to China for another reuse, and the commander of the 14th Division was taken over by Lieutenant General Takamasa Iseki; The commander of the 20th Division, Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi, returned to Japan, and the division commander was succeeded by Lieutenant General Minoru Ushijima; The commander of the 108th Division, Lieutenant General Kumaya Shimomoto, was transferred to the reserve, and the division commander was succeeded by Lieutenant General Motojiro Taniguchi; The commander of the 109th Division, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, returned to Japan for another important purpose, and the division commander was replaced by Lieutenant General Anami Yuji. In addition, the base camp issued an order for the formation of the 12th Army and incorporated it into our front army. The 12th Army was commanded by Lieutenant General Ogaka Kamezo, and the army headquarters was stationed in Jinan. ”

"After the adjustment, our front army is under the jurisdiction of the 1st Army, the 12th Army and the troops directly under the division. The headquarters of the 1st Army was located in Shimon, and the commander was Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro and the chief of staff, Major General Iida Shojiro. It has the 4th, 20th, and 108th Divisions, and is independently mixed into the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Brigades, the 1st Tank Wing, and the 1st Mountain Artillery Brigade.

"Hay!" (To be continued......)
