War of Resistance

Chapter 650 No.14 division, attack!

"Your Excellency, Commander, you seem to be in a good mood today. Presumably, it must be related to the frontline warfare?" the Chief of Staff Naozaburo Okabe said with a smile beside him.

"That's natural. The great victory our army won on the front line will be recorded in the annals of history." Terauchi Shouyi said with a smile, and the bright smile on his face already showed his mood at this time.

"Congratulations, Commander!" Naozaburo Okabe gave a resounding flattery.

"Haha. Okabe-kun, you've become more and more tactful lately..." Terauchi Shouichi made a rare joke about Okabe Naozaburo. A few days ago, he had been frowning, and no one responded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are joking. This is still due to your command. Now that our army has captured Xuzhou, all that remains is to capture Kaifeng, capture Zhengzhou, and finally go straight to Wuhan!" Nao Okabe Saburo said very excitedly.

"Okabe-kun's suggestion is excellent. I also have this idea, but according to reliable information, the Chinese army has assembled a large number of troops in the Kaifeng area, and it seems that they are going to fight to the death with our army's frontline troops around Kaifeng!" Terauchi Shouichi's words seemed to be very nervous, but in fact he was not, he said it in a teasing tone.

"Haha, since your Excellency Commander already has the chance to win, why bother to make fun of such trivial matters?" Okabe Naozaburo said with a smile on his face, the sarcasm in his eyes was already very obvious.

"A mere one hundred thousand branches of the central army is like blocking the advance of our imperial army? Impossible!" Shouyi snorted coldly, his disdain already evident on his face.

"Then your Excellency, Commander, is going to implement our assault plan?" Naozaburo Okabe's smile grew stronger. This set of plans was gradually perfected from his hands. He not only wanted to perfect the plan To show it clearly, it is necessary to break through the effect that the original plan should have.

"That's right. With the No. 14 Division as our assault force, we will take the lead in attacking the heavily defended front of the Jina Army, and then our follow-up troops will make a breakthrough and strive to take Kaifeng in one fell swoop!" Terauchi Shouichi was full of confidence and pride cloud!
"Yoshi, Your Excellency Commander, I wish us long-term military fortune and victory!" After saying that, Naozaburo Okabe gave a military salute to Juichi in the temple.

For Naozaburo Okabe, if this battle can continue to achieve great victories, then Chief Terauchi Toshiichi is very likely to return to his country to take up an important position, and how could he, who has been standing behind General Terauchi Toshiichi, not follow Qingyun straight up? ?

Emotionally and rationally, Naozaburo Okabe hoped that the North China Front Army, under the command of General Hisashi Terauchi, would achieve a huge military victory.

"However, the specific combat plan needs to be changed to match the opinions of the higher authorities. They ordered us to occupy Guide (that is, Shangqiu). That is the case. We will use the No. 14 Division as the main force of this battle to attack Kaifeng first. Let the enemy in the direction come with a punch!" Saying that, Terauchi Shouichi clicked on the map.

Naozaburo Okabe looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the spot pointed by Kotobuki in the temple was "Lan Feng"!
"Lan Feng? Why do we have to fight here with heavy troops?" Okabe Naozaburo asked a little puzzled.

"Although our current goal is Guide, the next battle plan is not necessarily the case. Our troops, after taking Guide, must continue to fight in the direction of Kaifeng." Terauchi Shouyi said in a deep voice.

Terauchi Shouichi organized the language, and before Naozaburo Okabe could speak, he continued: "Guide is the key point, but we must use the powerful firepower possessed by the No.14 Division at this stage to attack the Chinese Army. Try to drive a nail in Lanfeng, which is very close to Kaifeng!"

After hearing the words of Terauchi Shouichi, Okabe Naozaburo suddenly realized.

Indeed, if you look at the overall situation, if you act as General Terauchi Toshida said, then their North China Front Army may be the first to break through Zhengzhou. In this way, even the six generals Hata Toshi have to cooperate with them. .

By then, the prestige of the North China Front Army will be the same for a while, and even completely overwhelm the Central China Dispatch Army. Then what awaits them next will be infinite glory!
The two arrows go hand in hand, and the sharpest knife will break through the defense line of the Chinese army's heavily assembled defense!
Thinking of this, Naozaburo Okabe's breathing became short of breath—this is a genius idea!
"Hay! Okabe will definitely support His Excellency the Commander to the end, through thick and thin, and will not hesitate!" Okabe Naozaburo reassured loudly, his eyes were full of determination.

"It's good that you have this idea. Next, let's implement this great plan together! We must take down Lanfeng in one fell swoop. The Second Army must also strengthen its attack on Dangshan to cover our No. Advance of the 14th Division!" Terauchi Shouichi said loudly, full of confidence.

"Hay!" Okabe Naozaburo responded.

Just when Okabe Naozaburo was about to leave the commander's office of Terauchi Shouichi, Terauchi Shouichi called him: "Wait for the sack (wait)!"

"What orders does the commander have?" Okabe Naozaburo turned around and asked.

"Near Lanfeng, a large number of Chinese troops have assembled, and they are the Central Army. Therefore, we must wait until the No. 14 Division's large troops are assembled before going south!" Siuchi Shouyi warned, after all, the Taierzhuang Battle was a disastrous defeat. Still vividly.

"Hay! Understood!" Okabe Naozaburo responded.

……

Soon, this order from the North China Front Army Command was sent by telegram to the Division Headquarters of the No.14 Division.

Shousuichi in the temple is indeed cautious, but is Kenji Doihara really so cautious?

not necessarily.

Kenji Doihara, who was in Heze, was full of disdain after receiving the telegram from Shouichi in the temple.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you were scared by Xuzhou's Chinese army, and you actually want us to assemble a large force before attacking?" Kenji Doihara, who was full of flesh, snorted coldly.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, from what I can see from my humble position, the generals of the Front Army Headquarters may still have some concerns?" Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano said something from his heart, trying to persuade Kenji Doihara tactfully, worried that he would fall. Somersault.

Kenji Doihara could understand the implication of Sano Tadyoshi's words, but he would not change his mind because of this: "Sano-kun, I understand what you mean, you are afraid that we will fall into the encirclement of the Chinese army How about this, order Major General Takashi Sakai, head of the No.20 Eighth Brigade, to lead his troops, together with the artillery wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters, plus two heavy artillery wings. There are also tank squadrons and cavalry wings to go first Go south, straight to Lanfeng."

"What about the other units directly under our Division Headquarters and the No.20 Seventh Brigade?" Tadashi Sano asked subconsciously.

"The remaining troops will be led by the head of the division to go south in person. At that time, fireworks will be set off in Lanfeng City!" Kenji Doihara said in a deep voice, and in an instant he pulled out his samurai sword and said loudly: "No. 14th Division, attack!"
