237 Bewildered
Headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army.
The air pressure in the conference room was so low that it was a little hard to breathe.
The greatest humiliation since the start of the war has been carried on the back of the little devils in Gangcun, and the two divisions have been shattered into such heavy losses that the base camp has been shaken.
"I was shocked to hear that the 26th Division and the 41st Division were broken one after another, causing the situation in North China to take a sharp turn for the worse. Tojo Kazuki's private telegram was like a slap on the little devil in Gangcun.
"Gentlemen, now the situation is difficult, Jindi has lost one after another, and the cumulative Jade Crushed Locust Army is no less than 3 divisions! Wucheng is lost, the clouds are in danger, and the northern part of Jindi is about to change hands, how can we deal with it now? The little devil in Gangcun looked like a knife, stared at the senior staff present and asked.
The 100,000-strong army was encircled and suppressed, and now before the start of the game, more than 60,000 people have been stabbed to death by others, who can still fight this encirclement and suppression?
According to the ideas of the senior staff, it is the royal way to quickly terminate the original plan and concentrate troops to recapture the lost cities, but isn't this a slap in the face of the little devil in Gangcun? Who would dare to touch the tiger's ass at this time?
One by one, they sat there as steady as an old dog.
The one who can speak can afford to speak is Lieutenant General Seya, who is now the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, but he is still commanding the attack of the large army on the Ishiki front, and at this time, Major General Takasen Koichi Sato and Lieutenant General Okamoto Noho, the commander of the 36th Division, are sitting in a precarious position, and there is no sign of speaking.
This made the newly appointed deputy chief of staff Ishii as big as a bucket many times, and others could not speak, but he would not be able to do it if he didn't say it.
Ishii stood up many times, "Your Excellency Commander, I think that now that the situation has changed, the original strategy should be adjusted according to the new situation, and the 101st Division is now blocked near Pingcheng, so it is better to mobilize, join up with the 36th Division and the Chariot Division, and go north together to solve the enemy in Wucheng, and then go to the clouds to concentrate the 101st Division and the Chariot Division, as well as the 2 brigades of Jindi to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Road, and by the way, fill the vacancy left by the 26th Division's jade shattering, and reverse the situation in the northern part of Jindi in one fell swoop." ”
Ishii Dazuo still did his homework in advance, if you don't consider the existence of Gao Jianwu's hanging, this plan is also decent, now you can't engage in refueling tactics, if you can't gather more than two divisions and regiments to attack, then the safety of the troops can not be guaranteed, now the Eighth Route has completed the example of independent annihilation of two divisions, and the significance of the 101st Division's westward advance is actually very doubtful.
The railways and highways were cut off at any time, and the 101st Division, which was forced to walk into Jindi, is now facing too many uncertainties.
Even the two main regiments of the so-called Ping'an base area encountered by the vanguard wing did not have air force support, and now the 101st Division alone has proved that it cannot gnaw at the opponent's blocking position.
What is especially hateful is that the other side is not stubbornly defending one position, but is fortifying layer by layer on this hill today and on another hill tomorrow, so that the artillery advantage of the little devils cannot be brought into play at all.
Fight during the day, sneak attack from time to time at night, carry mortars everywhere eight ways of ghostly, much greater than the previous cold gun threat, often a mortar platoon a night to the little devil caused by the loss is to bomb off two or three squads!
Now that the little devils are camping in shadows, they dare not connect the field tents too closely, so as to avoid being fired by one cannon or two, and all of a sudden both detachments are buried under a mortar!
"Yoshi, what do you think of Ishii-kun's suggestion?" The little devil in Gangcun asked quietly.
"What Ishii-kun said is very reasonable, and he seconded it, and suggested that the flying team should fully cooperate, on the one hand, fully grasp the information on the enemy's movement and gathering, and on the other hand, go all out to find their artillery and destroy it!" Koichi Sato opened his mouth and added, this should be the idea of His Excellency the Commander, and in Koichi Sato's opinion, there is nothing wrong with it.
If it is only within the scope of sending troops in North China, it is true, but if it is according to the inner thoughts of Koichi Zuoto, then it is not only that, but directly ask for help from the Kwantung Army, borrow two divisions to advance from the northern front, and then continue to advance on the southern front with the 101st division and the chariot division, and use the thunderous momentum to directly knock out the eight roads that have emerged!
It is rare for the main force of the Eighth Route to emerge from the ravine, and if they don't take this opportunity to defeat it, it won't be a legacy of raising tigers, judging from the strength of the Eighth Route today, they have achieved amazing results in recuperating in the past year, and they already have the ability to annihilate a reorganized division.
Koichi Zuoto felt that it was just taking advantage of the new victory in the eighth road, and it was when he was full of confidence and dared to fight the locust army head-on, so he attacked with a heavy fist.
The Kwantung Army is now basically assuming the role of strategic backup, and the transfer of two or three divisions will not affect them at all, and the transfer of two divisions and regiments from the area of ** Tianjin is quite convenient, both in terms of time preparation and material transfer.
However, this kind of cross-front army mobilization involves not only strategy, but also many delicate relationships, and the Kwantung Army is one level higher than the North China Dispatch Army, and last year it was upgraded to the general army, and it could only be done by the little devils in Gangcun who personally went to the door to ask others to do something!
This kind of thing, how dare Koichi Zuoto open his mouth easily.
"Yaxi, Zuo Teng-kun added it thoughtfully, does anyone else improve this suggestion?" The little devil in Gangcun looked at Koichi Zuoto, his eyes were full of approval, this is a person who can pass through the base camp and the authentic staff headquarters.
The people at the bottom saw that the direction of the wind had been set, and this brain hole could be opened along the thinking of the little devils in Gangcun, and they began to make suggestions, I have to say that these people who started from military academies are still very strong, and Ishii Dazuo's idea was slowly perfected into a real battle plan.
......
Eight Road Headquarters, under the festive atmosphere, everyone does not change their busy nature.
"Why did you choose to go south instead of going north?" The deputy chief of staff stared at the map after the updated situation, and he was really a little puzzled why the more than ten counties that were within reach from Daicheng to Yunzhong didn't fight, Gao Jianwu chose to gnaw on Jinyang, the city of Jiancheng.
"Although Jinyang is now considered to be empty in strength, it is not easy to fight, 92 infantry guns, 75mm mountain artillery are very good for attacking the county, and it is not so easy to attack Jinyang with thick walls."
】
This is where the deputy chief of staff is very puzzled after analyzing it from a purely military point of view.
"In terms of results, Jinyang is much more significant than in the clouds." The boss is also a little uncertain, but obviously if he can really take Jinyang, the boss always raises his hand 100% in favor, even if it is to go in and occupy it for a day, it has a strong symbolic meaning.
"It's just that Gao Jianwu doesn't have many chips in his hand, how can he calculate that Jinyang can fight?"
Gao Jianwu's series of brilliant victories have made the boss have a strong sense of trust and even dependence. If it weren't for this, such an unbelievable plan as jumping to attack Jinyang, if someone else submitted it, the boss would always spray a dog's blood on the spot!
The strength in Gao Jianwu's hands, now the boss can't exceed 30,000 when he is full, so he wants to fight Jinyang with 2 divisions, so don't be too whimsical.
But this was proposed by Gao Jianwu, so the situation is different.
Gao Jianwu almost never loses.
"Forget it, this time we killed 2 divisions and regiments, and we have already made a lot of money, this Gao Jianwu let him toss as much as he wants, isn't Lao Chen also pointing in front, there is no accident with him! We still concentrate on dealing with the aftermath and see where we can mobilize some troops to receive the spoils of these two battles, these are two integrated divisions, Lao Chen and they have made a fortune, we have to help them reduce the logistical burden. "The boss thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he simply threw the pot to the brigade commander, no matter what!
Or do something you can understand to have a sense of accomplishment and participation, this kind of war launched by Gao Jianwu is a little difficult to even understand, and he really lacks the mood to participate.
The boss moved, and even the border area was alarmed, and the three main garrison regiments rushed to the Yanmen area day and night.
In the face of the boss's battle, he is willing to be a spectator, but the master of micro-exercises will never experience it.
......
Gao Jianwu unified the operational thinking of the former commander, and the main force immediately marched south day and night.
With such a large-scale operation, of course, it is difficult not to reveal any movement at all, but Gao Jianwu has his own method to gather thousands of militias from various county brigades and district squads near Yanmen, and even some of the elite migrant workers, under the leadership of a main force battalion, to open the scene and pretend to be the main force to go north!
The march was half-hidden and half-exposed, and there were high-power radios sending or receiving telegrams at any time, and the little devils and puppet troops in various cities along the way saw it, and they all retreated, only daring to send people to reconnoiter from afar, and no one at all came over with troops without opening their eyes!
In this way, not to mention that the little devil believes that the target of the Eighth Road is Yunzhong, even if it is some of his own people within the Eighth Road, before receiving the order from the superiors, many guerrillas along the way have taken the initiative to join!
Of course, the news they got was that the attack on Yunzhong was that the entire army played the number of eight main regiments!
In this era, it is difficult to count thousands of people, not to mention that there are thousands of people in this vast city, and it is tens of thousands at a cursory glance?
When some of them infiltrated and heard the numbers of the eight main regiments, they all believed it from the First Army to the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army.
The news that traces of the Eighth Route march were found in the south, and in comparison with this news, it was quickly judged to be a suspicious move.
The command of the First Army did not take any effective precautions against this at all.
The little devils along the way also did not take any measures against the looming southbound Eighth Road, and now the little devils along the way have basically received the news that the 26th Division and the 41st Division were annihilated by the Eighth Road, whether it is the military police brigade in the county town or the headquarters of the Gorpe City Brigade, all of them are better than less, and it is over just reporting the news.
Even Gao Jianwu didn't expect that things would be so easy to come to Yangqu Station, an important railway station on the Jinyang West Tongpu Line.
