War of Resistance

Chapter 1178: Battle of Yankou Attack ([-])
At this time, the sky was slowly dawning, but the officers and soldiers of the Ninth War Zone Guard Force were hiding densely in the jungle to rest, and the officers and soldiers of the large force had already fallen asleep, because the real action would start at night , You must rest at this time!
Zhang Tianhai really couldn't sleep at this moment, he was thinking about the progress of the battle over and over again, and the secret service company also accepted his order to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Japanese troops near the town of Yukou.

At this time, the special agent company is like the eyes of the security forces in the theater, and the tasks it is responsible for are not so heavy.

So, what is Liu Houming doing at this time?Of course, he slept a lot. During the day, what would he do if he didn't sleep, and several of his platoons had already gone out to perform tasks.

Under such circumstances, Liu Houming was certainly relieved. After all, he was currently in the position closest to the frontier of Yukou Town. If there was any change in the Japanese army, they would definitely be aware of it.

In fact, since Liu Houming's special agent company was notified by the former enemy headquarters, it has changed to a half-action and half-rest state, with a [-]-hour shift system, in order to facilitate operations at any time.

……

The camera turns to Yuankou Town.

The scale of Yunkou Town is larger than that of Sanjiang Town. After all, its location is better than Sanjiang Town. Designate here as the station of the No.40 Fifth Regiment.

Why should it be designated as the No.40 Five Alliance?Because the No.40 Fifth Regiment was the one with the least casualties among the four infantry regiments under the Sixth Division in the Battle of Wuhan, Shiro Inaba believed that this unit was the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division. With the order, the No.40 Fifth Regiment can act as the vanguard of the battlefield and directly enter the south bank of the New Wall River.

However, Inaba Shiro never dreamed that the enemy on the other side would be so crazy that they wanted to end the No. 40 Fifth Regiment in Yukou Town within four hours. The key point is that this No. 40 Fifth Regiment is currently the sixth The unit with the strongest combat effectiveness in the division is all veterans, and they are all elites drawn from Kumamoto, most of whom have experienced the Battle of Wuhan!
It is precisely because of this that not only Shiro Inaba is full of confidence in the No.40 Fifth Regiment, but also the leader of the No.40 Fifth Regiment Masahiro Kumatake.

In their view, if the Chinese army wants to fight such a wing, it must dispatch at least two divisions to match it. Besides, so many troops have been dispatched, which proves that the Kuomintang army on the south bank of the Xinqiang River will carry out large-scale operations. counterattacked.

If... If the national army really launched a counterattack, then it would be great news for Inaba Shiro—for example, he could have a unique performance on the north bank of the New Wall River!

Why do you say "unique"?Because of this Japanese army on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, he is the only Sixth Division!So what is a performance show?They want to stage a counterattack in front of the high-level Japanese army to repel a group army of the National Revolutionary Army one division at a time!It's just like they were able to take the lead in entering Nanjing and fighting from Nanjing to Wuhan with a single division!
Yes, all the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army have the same mentality as Shiro Inaba, the commander of the division. That is extremely arrogant, thinking that they are the trump cards of the Japanese army, the elite of the elite!

In fact, both the Sixth Division and the Second Division of the Japanese Army are the most capable troops in the Japanese army, but the equipment of the Sixth Division is slightly inferior, and their combat effectiveness is actually slightly stronger than that of the Second Division. It can be seen that they The quality of the soldiers is high and the combat effectiveness is strong.

At this time, Masahiro Kumatake was leisurely listening to the music "Sakura Ballad" from his hometown in his joint headquarters. Listening to this song, Masao Kumamoto felt like he had returned to Kumamoto.

Holding a cup of sake in his hand, Masahiro Kumamu leaned lightly on the back of the chair, with his legs resting on the desk in front of him, and he seemed to be enjoying himself very much.

"Yoxi, this feeling is so good... It feels like I'm back home... If the war hadn't ended, I would have wanted to go back to my hometown..." Xiong Wuzhenglang said softly.

Xiong Wuzhenglang looks very young and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, without the wretched temperament of other regiment-level officers. He looks about 33 years old, and he looks talented and dignified. He must have been in the The rate of turning heads on the street is also very high. Judging from his age, it is obvious that he is an officer of the young men.

Also in Xiongwu Masao's office is Mikami Shimizu, Chief of Staff of the Alliance. Chief of Staff Mikami Shimizu is five or six years older than Xiongwu Masao, but he respects the former very much, not just because of his rank. , and because Xiong Wuzhenglang is a very young and promising team leader, it can be seen from the fight against Nanjing and Wuhan that he is simply scheming.

"Yoxi, Your Excellency, Captain, I also agree with your idea, but it is a pity that the Chinese army on the opposite side of the river has not moved at all, otherwise we would not be so boring. This day is going on day by day, and the soldiers are all idle. I have fleas on my body!" Mikami Shimizu complained.

"There is no way around this. Our Commander Neiji Okamura has issued an order to stop the war. As a forward force, we cannot attack deeply... After all, at this time, we are in a state of isolation and helplessness. The front line is too long. Judging from the overall battlefield situation, we seem to have the advantage, but in fact our opponent is too weak. If it is not the case that our opponent is so weak, then we I will be at a disadvantage!" Xiong Wuzhenglang said lightly, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.

It is precisely because Xiong Wuzhenglang has such a characteristic of fearlessness in the face of danger, that makes these officers who are older than him admire him so much.

"So, Commander Xiongwu, in your opinion, how long will it take before we launch the next stage of operations?" Mikami Shimizu asked very modestly.

"The next stage of combat? I advise you not to have other illusions. At least it will take more than half a year. Only when we reach this level will our base camp be ready for the next stage of combat." Xiong Wuzhenglang analyzed Said, "Our battle line is too long, we need to take care of the follow-up, otherwise we will take too long and easily fall into trouble."

"In the past, the base camp kept saying that China would be destroyed in three months. But later on, it was said that Wuhan would be occupied in three months. But we all know that if the Chinese army hadn't taken the initiative to retreat and abandoned Wuhan, would we have captured Wuhan? It's still the same thing, what do you think? Your Excellency, Captain!" Mikami Shimizu asked.

For Mikami Shimizu, it is not easy to have this kind of opportunity to chat. After all, everyone is usually busy with military affairs. Either you are in a bad mood or I am in a bad mood, so he should seize the time to chat something useful.

"It is precisely because of this that it also proves that the army of the Great Japanese Empire is gradually weakening. Except for the troops of our Sixth Division, other troops have been weakened a lot in the battle with the Chinese army. Like A unit like the [-]th Division was able to be completely wiped out by the Chinese Army in the Wanjialing area! It is a shame, so we still need to understand more about the layout of the base camp." Xiong Wuzhenglang said in a deep voice, In his opinion, apart from the Sixth Division, the casualties of other units were not so large.

"Souga, what your Excellency the captain said is reasonable, I have been taught!" Mikami Shimizu said very sincerely.

After a long time, Mikami Shimizu added: "Your Excellency, Captain, is it necessary for us to send a small army to the south bank of the Xinqiang River to spy on the military situation?"
