Bright Sword Military System

Sasaki Jingjiang didn't actually see through Wang Xuexin's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, he just sensed Fengtian's danger:
What the imperial army dealt with was not only the Eighth Route Army, but what was even more frightening was the nearly one million people in the city, and more than 1 puppet troops, including those who were characterized as "loyal", "absolutely reliable" and "models" The "Iron Stone Troops".

Although the "Iron Stone Troops" had previously expressed "regardless of past suspicions" under the appeasement of the imperial army, but at this time Fengtian was surrounded and supplies were reduced, they were ready to move again. After all, this is a matter of survival, and the "Iron Stone Troops" also need to think carefully Consider your own future.

In addition, there are two arsenals in the city, and a large number of guns and ammunition are stored in the warehouses... These are the capital of the imperial army to resist the Eighth Route Army, but they are also time bombs, a time bomb that detonates the "rebellion" of the people in Fengtian.

Under such circumstances, Umezu Yoshijiro asked Sasaki Shizue several times to send additional troops to the northern front to strengthen the attack on Kaiyuan, but Sasaki Shizue declined all of them in the name of "the Eighth Route Army seems to have signs of attacking Fengtian".

Sasaki Shizue intends to continue like this. It doesn't matter if the offensive on the northern front is slow or not. It is more important than anything else to defend Fengtian.

Two days later, the staff officer rushed to him and reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, three regiments of the Eighth Route Army's troops besieging Fengtian were transferred to Xinmin, and four regiments on the Eastern Front with more than 1 troops were transferred to Tieling!"

Sasaki Jingjiang made a pair of positions on the map, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat: Xinmin and Tieling were the left and right wings of the 20th Division that went north to attack the Kaiyuan defense line of the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army attacked from both sides to the middle, then the 20th Division would He lost contact with the Fengtian main force of the empire and was completely surrounded.

Now Sasaki Shizue has only two choices:

One is to withdraw troops from Mingjin, that is, to bring back the 20th Division, so that it will not be encircled and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

The second is to increase troops. Only by strengthening the defense of the left and right wings of the 20th Division can it ensure its connection with Fengtian.

Sasaki Shizue's personal consideration is that he is more inclined to the first option, which is obviously safer.

But Sasaki Shizue knew that Umezu Yoshijiro would definitely not allow him to do this, because it meant that Umezu Yoshijiro's counterattack plan "died before the attack."

At this time, the staff officer persuaded from the side again: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, this is not an opportunity for our army to attack. The Eighth Route Army has even transferred the troops surrounding Fengtian to the northern line, which shows that their strength is already stretched. At this time, we should give the Eighth Route Army A fatal blow disrupts their deployment!"

Seeing that Sasaki Jingjiang was still unmoved, the staff officer added: "What's more, Kaiyuan is only more than 100 kilometers away from Fengtian. Even if the Eighth Route Army attacks Fengtian or something happens to Fengtian, our army will have time to return to the division!"

Sasaki Shizue thought for a while before slowly nodding: "Order the 51st Division to send reinforcements immediately!"

"Yes!"

The 51st Division is a main division under Sasaki Shizue, with a strength of more than 2.As soon as this division left the city, only the 39th Division, which had previously fought against the Eighth Route Army, remained in Fengtian City.

Don't think about it, this is of course Wang Xuexin's "conspiracy".

There is a trick in Sun Tzu's Art of War called "leading the snake out of the hole": If the snake is difficult to fight in the hole, it should be led out.

And it should be impossible to lure the snake out of the hole, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.

The sharp weapon to prevent the "snake" from returning to the cave was the Hundred Battles Brigade transferred by Wang Xuexin: the Hundred Battles Brigade was secretly deployed in Xinmin at this time.

Therefore, what is in Xinmin is not the three regiments that the devils just transferred, but three regiments plus one brigade, a hundred-fight brigade used to fight tough battles.

Of course, Major General Akasaka Chito, the head of the 51st Division, did not know this either.

Akasaka Chito was very dissatisfied with Sasaki Shizue's command very early on. He believed that the advantage of the imperial army was offense, so the troops should not be placed on the defense of Fengtian but should attack everywhere. Only in this way can the Eighth Route Army be battered. The encirclement will naturally become invisible.

Even Akasaka Qiantang was still thinking that if this was the case, the Eighth Route Army might have been defeated at this time.

However, many people, including his staff, know that this is just an excuse for Akasaka Chito to hope to replace Sasaki Shizue... Akasaka Chito was once expected to be promoted to lieutenant general, but Sasaki Shizue suppressed them.

Now, after receiving the order to attack, Akasaka Chito led the troops to the destination without any hesitation.

The distribution of Akasaka Chito's troops is as follows: more than 6000 people from two wings rushed to Tieling for reinforcements, four wings rushed to Xinmin to reinforce the left wing, and the remaining two wings protected the supply line and served as a reserve team.

The staff officer was a little puzzled by such a distribution of troops, and he asked: "Your Excellency, Major General, Xinmin only has three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and they are still recruits with low combat effectiveness, while Tieling has four regiments of regular troops of the Eighth Route Army. Send troops to Xinmin instead of Tieling?"

"Idiot!" Akasaka Qiantang replied: "Have you heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing? Two regiments of our army are enough to block the attack of the regular troops of the four regiments of the Eighth Route Army in Tieling! And the main force is in Xinmin, which can quickly eat up the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army." A regiment of recruits, this is the way to win!"

The staff officer hurriedly nodded and said yes.

It can also be seen from this that Akasaka Qiantang is quite familiar with Huaxia's art of war.

And Akasaka Chito is not just a stunned young man who only knows how to charge, he even made a detailed plan for artillery tactics:

There are regular troops of the enemy's four regiments in Tieling, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery detection radar will not be short, and it will be difficult to take down.

Therefore, having artillery in this direction is the same as not having it.

Xinmin has only three recruit regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army does not necessarily have artillery radar.

Even if there is a gun detection radar, it is estimated that there are not many artillery attached to it.

Even if there are enough artillery attached to it, the coordination between its infantry and artillery fire is not sufficient.

At that time, his command will have room to operate...

So Akasaka Qiantang put all the artillery units in the direction of Xinmin, and he planned to use a small amount of artillery units to test the Eighth Route Army.

He wants to know two pieces of information:

First, whether the Eighth Route Army of Xinmin has artillery radar.

Second, if there is artillery detection radar, where is the artillery position coordinated with it.

As long as the Eighth Route Army artillery fires, the location of its artillery positions will be exposed.

Then, Akasaka Chito will command his army which is several times larger than the enemy to charge towards the enemy's artillery position from several directions.

As long as the enemy's artillery position can be taken down, all the following problems will be solved, and the defeat of the Eighth Route Army will be irretrievable.

Of course, it would be even better if the artillery detection radar of the Eighth Route Army could be captured.

In actual combat, Akasaka Chito did the same, and he succeeded.

He detected the enemy's artillery detection radar immediately, and its counterattack artillery was not weak, with at least two artillery battalions.

(One artillery battalion belongs to the Hundred Battles Brigade, and the other artillery battalion is assigned to the three recruit regiments... If the recruit regiment is not assigned to the artillery battalion and has no artillery detection radar, it is easy to be defeated by devils)

This made Akasaka Qiantang very excited, because he thought that the three new regiments of the Eighth Route Army could not protect two artillery battalions separated by thirty miles.

So he waved the bastard box in his hand, pointed at the position of the Eighth Route Army in front and shouted: "Attack, don't stop until you see the enemy's artillery position!"
