War of Resistance

Chapter 1449 Sonobe Kazuichiro

"That's very good." Xue Yue nodded.

"These three troops are the most powerful troops in our theater. If they have not recovered, it will be very detrimental to our next operation. Furthermore, the Japanese army has now fallen into the protracted war they fear most. We are Those who are confident and have the opportunity to continue to thwart the Japanese aggressors' attempt to destroy China. According to my guess, the Japanese army will most likely continue to divide its troops into three groups to attack Changsha in the next step. We should make some preparations..." Xue Yueshen He took a deep look at Wu Yizhi.

"Sir, don't worry! I will give you a plan within three days." Wu Yizhi promised.

"Okay. Then I'll wait for your news." Xue Yue said in a deep voice.

……

Hubei, Hankou, Wuhan.

The wind blew gently on the street, and white aunt's scarves carried a red round flag fluttering in the wind. Japanese soldiers, armed with live ammunition, walked arrogantly on the streets of Hankou.

Hankou is heavily guarded today!

Behind this tight security is to welcome the arrival of an important person, who will be in charge of the overall work of the entire Japanese Eleventh Army.

At the Hankou suburban airport, there are already several major generals and more than a dozen colonels waiting here, and the neat team has dispatched an entire regiment!

A plane roared through the sky and then landed steadily on the airport runway.

"Welcome General Sonobe and Ichiro! May the military fortune be long and prosperous, General!!!"

The major general standing at the front of the team drew his sword and shouted, his ferocious expression making him feel murderous.

"Welcome General Sonobe and Ichiro!!! May the military fortune be long and prosperous, General!!!"

The Japanese officers and soldiers behind the major general were shouting in unison, and the momentum was moving.

Sonobe Kazuichiro, who had just gotten off the plane, had a smile on his round face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his new role this time.

"Shinoda-kun! Thank you for your hard work!" After getting off the plane, Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro strode towards Major General Shinoda in front of them and gave the latter a big hug.

"Sonobe-kun, welcome to take office as the commander of the Eleventh Army!" Shinoda Yuki smiled. Yes, he was the chief of staff of Sonobe and Ichiro when he served as the Seventh Division. In order to make Sonobe and Ichiro In order to better utilize the stronger combat effectiveness of the Eleventh Army, the Japanese base camp has transferred Shinoda Yuki, Sonobe and Ichiro's former chief of staff, to the Eleventh Army as chief of staff.

……

After getting off the plane, Sonobe and Ichiro were not immersed in the joy of promotion. Instead, they went straight to the headquarters of the Eleventh Army.

Perhaps Sonobe and Ichiro felt that Okamura Neji's unfavorable battle situation was related to the feng shui of his office, so he ordered someone to change the furnishings and layout of the office, and then sat on a brand-new office chair to start planning his "new job." .

In the view of Sonobe and Ichiro, the reason why Okamura Neji is unable to succeed is because the front depth is not enough, which may lead to the situation of being attacked from the front and back. After two days of familiarization, Sonobe and Ichiro had a preliminary understanding of the overall situation of the entire Eleventh Army. At the same time, he was ready to push the entire western front of the Eleventh Army forward!

Yichang, this place appeared in front of Sonobe and Ichiro.

"Shinoda-kun! You immediately make a combat plan against Yichang! I will see your preliminary draft plan in two hours!" Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro shouted outside the door. He knew that Shinoda Yuhui must be there. of.

"Hai!!" came a loud response from outside the door.

……

Hunan, Changsha City, headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater Command of the National Army.

The sun was hanging high in the sky at this time, and Wu Yizhi, with two dark circles under his eyes, finally knocked on the door of Xue Yue's office.

"Reporting to the commander, I have lived up to everyone's expectations and finally led the staff to draw up a preliminary combat plan." Wu Yizi grinned, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of paleness in that smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. If nothing happens, I'll give you three days' leave!" Xue Yue took over the battle plan from Wu Yizhi.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. However, I feel that I should tell you the specific situation." Wu Yizhi said with a smile. This was something he had stayed up for two days and nights to come up with.

"Sit down! I'd like to hear the details." Xue Yue was very polite to this guy who had always followed him and was loyal.

"Sir, this is what I think about this plan. Ninety percent of the troops in our ninth theater are not very effective. There are only three troops that can take action, just two corps and one division. Among them, the third The Tenth Army and the Seventy-Fourth Army must not be moved, so the only ones that can be moved are the theater guard troops." Wu Yizhi paused, "As for the usage of the theater guard troops, I personally want to deploy them in the fishing area. On the north bank of the river, only in this way can we ensure that more troops are available for the northern perimeter of Changsha."

"In other words, Brother Xiqi wants to use the theater security forces as the provincial capital security forces? Wouldn't this be overqualified? Especially now, troops with strong combat effectiveness are in short supply." Xue Yue reminded.

"The theater guard force was originally established in the name of the guard force. Changsha is where the theater commander's headquarters is located, and the Laodao River is the last line of defense outside Changsha City. If the Japanese army attacks the outside of Changsha, there will be such a force If we hold on to the outside, at least we still have time to return reinforcements," Wu Yizhi explained, "If even the theater security forces can't withstand it for two or three days, then other troops probably won't be able to withstand it either."

Xue Yue pondered for a moment and said: "According to your analysis, I think the arrangement is reasonable. Putting the Ninth War Zone guard troops in Changsha can indeed send more troops to the front line. Let's do it like this!"

"As for other trends, I have also followed what you said before, sir, and prepared defensive operations based on Okamura Ningji's three-way attack plan... But there is one more thing I need to remind you, sir. I am afraid that the Japanese army will break through through the middle. The method is to concentrate all the way, and then attack only Changsha with all the troops." Wu Yizhi said seriously.

"There is no constant force, and no constant water. No matter how little Japan plays, we have to take it, because the initiative in the war is not in our hands, and if we proceed as expected, with the Japanese army only attacking Changsha, once When the Japanese troops arrive, they will be divided into three groups, and the remaining two groups will march straight into Hunan!" Xue Yue said in a deep voice, "We can't afford to gamble..."

"By the way, you are now arranging the theater guard troops to guard the Laodao River. You must also have the Japanese army's plan to only attack Changsha, right?" Xue Yue looked at Wu Yizhi with bright eyes.

"Yes, that's true." Wu Yizhi admitted very bachelorly.
