War of Resistance

Chapter 1357 Plan! (22)

"Yoxi, that's exactly the case. The two Sichuan Army units are nothing to worry about. The only thing that can pose a threat to our division is the Ninth War Zone Guard Unit of the China Army in the Pingjiang area." Sonoda Huizheng said in a deep voice.

Speaking of this army, Amakasu Shigetaro was very angry for a while, after all, this army has caused his troops to suffer a lot.

"In the Pingjiang area, the security force of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Army is indeed our division's face-to-face enemy!" Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro was an arrogant person, but he had to admit this fact.

The fact is that he, Amakasu Shigetaro, a majestic lieutenant general and division head, was entangled by a division-sized unit of the national army, and it was an elite squad of this unit!

"So, in this battle against the Changsha area, we only need to regard the guard force of the Chinese Army as a strong enemy, and the enemy forces in other areas can attack them in units of wings." Sonoda Huizheng said very confidently.

It’s no wonder that Colonel Sonoda Teruma is so "confident", because since he cooperated with Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, he has rarely fought with the Chinese army. When he was in the previous army, he led the army and caused the enemy to suffer a lot. Especially when he was the captain of the Fifth Division!
That's right, Sonoda Teruma was the officer transferred from Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division to take up the important post of chief of staff!

Regarding the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is not strong, Sonoda Teruma can not be blamed for his excessive arrogance. You must know that he was in Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division during the July [-]th Incident.

How strong was the Itagaki Division at that time?A brigade can chase after a division of the national army. The division commander Seishiro Itagaki commanded the Fifth Division in the Battle of Xinkou, defeating the 20 Chinese army with half a division's strength!

As one of the four captains of the Fifth Division at that time, Sonoda Teruma naturally had his eyes above the top. As for why he came to the No.30 Third Division, it has to be said that he wanted to be the commander of the division. this point.

It is no joke that the standing divisions of the Japanese army want to get into a better position. Not only is the competition extremely high, but they also need a strong backing and outstanding combat achievements. So Sonoda Teru was just meeting his old senior at that time. Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, who is also the current bosom friend.

When these two people met, it was like a high mountain meets flowing water, Boya meets Ziqi, and they chatted very well——Amakasu Shigetaro thought that Colonel Sonoda Teruma was not only an excellent field commander, but also a very insightful strategy At home, pulling him to my side is of great help to me; and Sonoda Teruma also thinks that the olive branch handed over by Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro is very tempting, because when he stays in the position of chief of staff for a year or two, If he is outstanding, he will be able to take up the post of brigade commander in less than a year. Once he is in this position, he will not be far from the position of division commander, the "pillar" of the empire.

Of course, it’s not surprising that Teru Sonoda would use this position of chief of staff as a springboard to become the position of brigade commander, because although the position of chief of staff in the Japanese army is not as high as that in the national army, it is still It is infinitely close to the position of the head of the brigade, and sometimes the power is greater than that of the head of the brigade!

Don't forget, brigade commander, this is the rank of major general.The rank of major general in Little Japan has a very high gold content!
"Is it feasible to attack the Sichuan army as a unit?" Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro asked very cautiously. For things, he, the commander of the division, has a lot of responsibilities.

"According to my experience in fighting the Chinese Army when I was in the Fifth Division, the Sichuan Army is the weakest in the Chinese local army. Its weapons and equipment are not as good as Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, and its fighting will is not as good as Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. , to fight against such two troops, if even two regiments are not enough, we should not stay in this position. Just resign." Sonoda Huizheng said solemnly, but, he didn't know, his this This kind of behavior is called "standing flag" in later generations, and it usually causes somersaults.

What Sonoda Teruma didn't know was that even without the Ninth War Zone Guard Force, the Central Army's direct troops stationed in Pingjiang, the No. 30 Third Division led by Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro was destined to be defeated on this road, because This is how it happened in history!
"Sonada-kun's words are very reasonable, and I like it. Let's make it so! Let's prepare according to this plan!" Amakasu Shigetaro waved his hand and said very proudly. Suspects don’t use it” has been brought to the extreme.

"Should the Kawasaki United be withdrawn?" Sonoda Teruma looked at Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro with some embarrassment, because in his opinion, Kawasaki Nara led the troops to carry out the private affairs of His Excellency Division Chief outside. , Your Excellency the head of the division will be in a bad mood.

Maybe because he understood Sonoda Teruma's meaning, Amakasu Shigetaro also waved his hand and said, "Let them withdraw!"

"Your Excellency, head of the division, if that's the case, where are you..." Sonoda Huizheng hesitated to speak.

"There is an old saying in China that is very good. 'The earthen pot cannot be separated from the well, and the general will inevitably die before the battle'. My brother-in-law is not a general, but an ordinary lieutenant officer. I protected him too well. , that led to this situation." Then, Amakasu Shigetaro changed the subject: "For the empire, we have sacrificed many people, and my wife and brother are among them. However, there are more important things to do now. So, call back Kawasaki United!"

"Hay! Your Excellency, Head of Division, is wise!!" Teru Masa Sonoda stood up and saluted.

……

Regarding the Japanese attack on Gao'an County, although Zhang Tianhai did not get the news as quickly as the Japanese, he still waited for the latest battle report.

Sitting in his office and watching the latest battle report, Zhang Tianhai's face sank like water, and Xu Xun stood in front of him like a javelin waiting for instructions.

After a long time, Zhang Tianhai finally put down the battle report in his hand, looked up at Xu Xun and said, "Xiao Xu, a new round of war is about to break out. You must be mentally prepared, and at the same time inform the deputy chief and the chief of staff that they will also Be mentally prepared. The Japanese army's actions have never been limited to this one, and the next is their strategic focus."

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!!" Xu Xun stood upright.

"In this way, you can pass on another order from me to let the special agent company of the first security regiment pay more attention to the latest movements of the Japanese No. So he added another sentence: "I have a hunch that the main opponent of our national army in the Pingjiang area is the No. 30 Third Division of the Japanese Army."

"Yes, sir." Xu Xun responded, his loyalty to Zhang Tianhai was unquestionable, he would obey Zhang Tianhai's orders unconditionally, and he would not ask too many questions.

In Xu Xun's eyes, the commander-in-chief is like a man like a god, and he is the god of the battlefield!
