Following.

Fine.

It is also a rare sunny day after the New Year.

Che Zhihuan has already set an attack plan with his subordinates, of course, it is only a small county town, and the initial attack will be carried out by his two regiments.

Of course, the expectation in the early stage was to hope that these two regiments could successfully take the county seat of the devil.

If it doesn't work, then the regiment that is back up will continue to top it.

On a hillside, Che Zhihuan held a telescope, as a brigade commander, if he had to do so, he would not have personally gone to the battlefield. In the previous attack and defense, his men were almost lost, and he and the monk had to take up arms and fight.

Looking at the county seat more than ten miles away, now, the troops of his two regiments were already surrounded outside.

Independent divisions, soldiers who need to be upright and capable of fighting.

And not, the soldier who was able to achieve victory after the creation of all sorts of favorable conditions.

Che Zhihuan has a deep understanding of this.

At a young age, he has already achieved the position of the commander of the first brigade of the independent division, and he naturally knows what the independent division needs.

……

On the low wall of the county seat, a Japanese soldier frowned, "Has the telegram requesting tactical guidance been sent?" ”

"Hey! It's been sent out! ”

"Yo Xi, order, warriors defend with all their might!"

"Hey!"

When the first gunshot rang out, the Japanese soldier knew that the battle was coming.

When he was stationed in this county before, he knew that he would not be too stable here.

"Da Da Da!"

"Smack!"

……

The soldiers of the independent division who were newly on the battlefield did not have much fear in the face of the bullets in front of them, and they had trained enough on weekdays.

The prostrate soldier kept moving forward.

Rear, mortars, field artillery.

It has long been pulled out, waiting for orders.

……

In the middle of a forest, a young soldier wore a grass ring on his head and stuck a tree branch, "Commander, will the devil really support?" ”

"Nonsense! Unless the devil wants to give up that county seat! Another young voice spoke, "Otherwise, the devils will definitely support!" But no matter what, this road, even if the devil wants to retreat, is the only way to go! Do you understand what that means? ”

"Hey, hey! If the devils want to retreat, we'll stop them! If the devil has reinforcements, then let's stop it! The soldier next to him smiled, "In short, we don't lose!" ”

"Humph!" The regiment commander snorted coldly, he knew that most of his subordinates were recruits, and he brought it to fight this blockade, and his own brigade commander also considered it, but after thinking about it, it was nothing more than training. They are training now, and after that, there must be a big war waiting for them.

In the distance, he had already heard the faint sound of gunfire, and he knew that the attack had begun, so they would soon have meat to eat here.

……

In a brick house, inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.

A Japanese lieutenant general frowned, "The Independent Division actually attacked County X, what is their purpose?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, isn't it, the Independent Division is about to launch a big attack! Earlier there was information that the Separate Division would begin its offensive after the weather warmed up? A Dazuo put forward his own speculation, "X County, for the imperial army, does not have much significance, in fact, I think that even if the independent division takes X County, it will not be of much significance." ”

The Japanese lieutenant general frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and looked at the map, indeed, this county town is relatively close to Chengde, and they were still defending at the beginning. Originally, when the defense line was recast, they wanted to give up this county seat, but then they thought about it, with this county town, if they wanted to attack the independent division, they would have a better starting point, which was equivalent to inserting a nail in the defense line of the independent division, so they sent a brigade and several thousand puppet troops to defend.

But the reality is that they can't fight back. These days, their military supplies and food have dropped a lot.

The warriors complained a lot, but there was nothing they could do. Before, the road was closed by heavy snow, and now there is a shortage of supplies.

"Your Excellency Commander, no matter what, since the independent division has attacked, then, we have to discuss whether this county is worth our support!" A major general spoke, "If you don't need it, then it's right to let the warriors in as soon as possible." If necessary, then we will send troops to support and defend this county. ”

The Japanese lieutenant general frowned, the truth, he always knew, it's just that this county seat, is there still a need to defend it? Is it possible for them to fight back? "Report this matter to the headquarters! Your Excellency, Commander, decide! ”

"Hey!"

……

Umezu Mijiro looked at the telegram, and his brows furrowed, he didn't understand the purpose of the independent division to attack this small county town, because even if the independent division took down this county town, it would have no military effect.

"Yoshimoto-kun, what do you think?"

"Hey! In my opinion, do you want to take a look at which independent division troops attacked this county town? "According to our information, the independent division also suffered huge losses in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and now after a few months, although the strength may have been replenished, the combat effectiveness should not have been formed so quickly." ”

"What do you mean?" There was uncertainty in Umezu Mijiro's tone, "They want to train the army?" ”

"Hey! According to intelligence, the independent division had two brigades, and at that time it also suffered heavy losses and suffered casualties! Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost two whole divisions either! Yoshimoto nodded, "So, how can these two brigades, even if they replenish their strength, soldiers who have not been on the battlefield, be called soldiers?" So, they want to train their troops in this way! ”

Umezu Mijiro's face was ugly, "Do you really think that our Imperial Japanese Army can be bullied casually?" ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that after the independent division has trained its soldiers, it will attack on a large scale!" Yoshimoto Sadachi's tone was dignified, "Otherwise, there won't be only this small part of the troops attacking!" ”

"What do you think is the case now?"

"Your Excellency Commander, since that small county town is preparing for a counterattack on the Independent Division, why don't you just take this as an opportunity to counterattack a part!" Yoshimoto Sadachi narrowed his eyes, "After a winter, some of the materials have been prepared, although it is not enough to support a big battle, but I think a local battle can still be supported!" ”

Umezu Mijiro also narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

"Hey! Offense is not just the preserve of independent divisions! Before the Independent Division! All along, it was our Imperial Japanese Army attacking! After a winter of recuperation, I think the warriors are already eager to try! Yoshimoto Sadachi said in a deep voice, "And, this winter, we still ordered the fishermen of Shina to go out to sea to fish and prepare supplies for the imperial army!" In addition, the Prime Minister had persuaded the merchants of China to donate money, and I think that this battle, if won, will greatly boost the morale of the warriors! Now, isn't all we need is morale? ”
