Kenji Dohihara was originally the oldest, had the best interpersonal relationships, and had the most right to speak, so he should be the first to speak and state his opinion.

However, because the old devil came late, he was embarrassed to be in the limelight again, and he was blindfolded in his sleep, so he didn't have any good plans and opinions for a while, so he sat down and fell into deep thought.

Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 1st Division, graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, is now 51 years old, and is a veteran general of the Kwantung Army.

As well as the detailed information before and after the previous encirclement and suppression of your troops, the enemy is quite cunning, and according to the information currently available to the imperial army, the total strength of this resistance army should be at least three to five divisions.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to have such a large combat power. ”

The commander of the 8th Division, Tsukada Tsukasaki, also nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's right, in less than two years, this branch of the army has developed from scratch to such a point, and it must not be allowed to grow wantonly, otherwise, sooner or later it will become a big trouble for the empire!" ”

It is clear that both Tsukada and Yokoyama overestimated the total strength of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Even if we do not compare the ordinary Central Army with the local resistance army, in the opinion of Isamu Yokoyama and Tsukada, in order to win so many victories and beautiful battles, they should have at least five divisions, otherwise they will not have so much combat power.

Since Shozo Kawabe and Sugiyama Motoya did not have any information about the total strength of the Dragon's Tooth Column for the time being, they could not reject Yokoyama Isa's inference, and they also hoped that they would contribute more to the encirclement and suppression, so they had to nod their heads in agreement.

Seeing that no one refuted, Yokoyama Yong became more and more energetic, paused, and continued: "However, although the Chinese Dragon Tooth Column has five divisions, it is only 50,000 or 60,000 at best, and our Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire has more than 100,000 troops transferred from outside the Guanguan alone, and in addition, there are more than 100,000 puppet Manchukuo Imperial Cooperative Army.

These Imperial Cooperative Army have all been strictly trained by our Kwantung Army, and their combat power is not comparable to those rabble Imperial Cooperative Army in the Guan, and they can come in handy!

Coupled with the elite of the Imperial Army of the North China Empire under you, Commander Sugiyama, as long as we fight steadily and crush the encirclement and suppression all the way, we can easily wipe out the Dragon Tooth Column completely!

Since my 1st Division has been fully mechanized, I have built the 1st Division to take the lead frontal attack, using land-based aviation combined with ground heavy artillery fire to provide cover for the ground armored assault troops, and advance with all their might from one direction, completely destroying the forward defense line of the Chinese people!

As long as their outer defense line is destroyed, the entire line of the Chinese army will surely collapse, and the whole body will be moved, and victory will not be far away for us. ”

Kenji Dohihara, who had not spoken, suddenly reminded: "Yokoyama-kun, first of all, I agree with your combat concept, but what we need to pay attention to is that the Dragon's Tooth Column also seems to have its own tank force, and previous intelligence shows that they are likely to be equipped with more advanced German tank fighting vehicles, so they have to be guarded against." ”

Yokoyama Yong said with a little disdain: "Thank you Tufei Yuanjun for reminding me, I have been prepared for this, more than two months ago in the Battle of Cheng'an Town, there were only four tank fighting vehicles that the people put into the battlefield, how many tank fighting vehicles can they add in just two months?"

Even if we could add ten or eight vehicles, our 1st Division would not be afraid of it, because our division had not only two armored tank wings, but also mobile firepower units equipped with anti-tank guns and rapid-fire guns.

Just join forces to destroy them! Let the Shina Army understand how vulnerable their armored forces are in front of the Iron Heroes of our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Seeing that Yokoyama Yong was so confident, Kenji Dohihara didn't say anything more, although he was very wary of Qiao Youhua's tank tank unit that had already shown its edge, but he also understood that the 1st Division under Yokoyama Yong did have the confidence and strength to compete with Qiao Youhua's tank troops.

Since others don't appreciate it, then it's not good for him to say anything more, so as not to offend people.

It's just that Kenji Dohihara secretly reminded himself in his heart that after the battle began, he must be strictly vigilant against this tank and combat vehicle unit, so as not to let it take advantage of the loophole and suffer a big loss.

Seeing that Yokoyama bravely offered to be the main attacker, he was overjoyed, but he remained silent on the surface, and said: "What General Yokoyama said is extremely true, worthy of being a famous general of the empire!" Commander Sugiyama and I repeatedly fought with Qiao Youhua's Dragon Tooth Column, and we thought that if we wanted to encircle and suppress them, the most suitable direction of attack was Shimen, which bordered Hengshui.

As long as we can recapture Shimen, we will not only be able to open up the railway communication line, but also completely cut the base of the Dragon's Tooth Column from east to west, so that they can not care about each other.

Another most important reason is that the terrain around Shimen is flat, which is conducive to the mobility of armored vehicles and horses.

In comparison, in the north of Dingzhou to Lingshou generation, there are several rivers and lakes such as the Shahe River and the Hutuo River, and further west is the remaining veins of the towering Taihang Mountain, which is not conducive to the operation of mobile troops.

Therefore, I and Commander Sugiyama Yuan still formed an army to encircle and suppress the east and west, and the army on the west route consisted of the 14th Division of General Di Tu Feiyuan and the 26th Division drawn from the Mongolian army, as well as the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army on the line from Baoding to Dingzhou, and attacked south from Dingzhou.

The East Route Army is composed of General Yokoyama's 1st Division and General Tsukada's 8th Division, and the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Allied Army and the Mongolian cavalry transferred from the Mongolian army stationed in Cangzhou, Hengshui, and Dezhou and their surroundings are also all at your disposal, and you will take the lead in the main attack and attack the front line of Shimen. ”

Yokoyama Yong was quite satisfied with the arrangement of Kawabe Shozo, nodded slightly and added: "Chief of Staff of the Riverside, Commander Sugiyama, I agree with the arrangement of the two, but there is one more thing you may forget, there are more than 100,000 Manchukuo who entered the customs with us this time?" Army, although their combat power is not as good as our three divisions, they are also a force to be reckoned with! ”

Sugiyama Yuan nodded happily and said: "General Yokoyama don't have to worry, I have already planned this, the elite of the 100,000 Imperial Cooperative Army of Manchukuo naturally cannot be idle, but it will be reused, and it will be used as a sharp blade to assist in the frontal attack of Yokoyama-kun, and together encircle and annihilate Qiao Youhua's dragon tooth column!" ”

PS: There will be a change later, continue to ask for monthly pass support!
