Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1504 Shouichi's Grand Strategy!

On the morning of January 1938, 1, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army in Jinan.

After careful consideration, Terauchi Shouichi finally denied his previous thoughts.

Terauchi Shouichi wanted to use Momotaro to delay the Dragon Boat Festival with the rest of the Fifth Division to buy time for himself to fight in Xuzhou.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he found that the Dragon Boat Festival is an extremely uncertain factor.

Moreover, Momotaro and others do not have an absolute advantage in military strength, and it is very likely that they will not be able to restrain the Dragon Boat Festival, or even be wiped out by the Dragon Boat Festival.

So thinking of Shouyi in the temple on this floor, he immediately ordered: "Order the Chaoxian Division to retreat to the south of Mount Tai, order the Fourth Division to fully take over the defense area of ​​the Chaoxian Division. Order the No.20 Division to deploy two infantry Wing, strengthen the defense area of ​​the [-]th division, guard against the surprise attack of Li Zhongren's troops in the [-]th theater, and rescue the supervisory team of the Dragon Boat Festival.

He ordered Momotaro's department to continue to chase after the Dragon Boat Festival's supervisory corps, and temporarily transferred the Matsuyama Infantry Regiment of the Fourth Division to him to command.

Order the 110th Division to go south to recapture the line of defense destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.This time the Dragon Boat Festival has become a turtle in an urn, we must not let him escape again. "

"Hi!"

The little devil's communication officer took the order, and immediately sent orders to the various ministries, and quickly moved to the predetermined position.

As soon as Si Nei Shou transferred back the Chaoxian Division from the front line, his intention was already obvious, it was to deal with the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of course, this cannot say how strong the Chaoxian Division is, but that these cannon fodders are desperate!

Such a good cannon fodder was only seen by Terauchi Shouichi in so many years.Moreover, Li Cheng had already reported to him that more troops should be recruited from Chaoxian mainland to serve the Great Japanese Empire.

So if he didn't make good use of such a good cannon fodder, he would be too guilty.

So the Chaoxian Division was transferred back from the front line.What's more, now that the front line is no longer fighting, let them waste the food of the empire there?It's better to let them go and fight with the supervisory team of the Dragon Boat Festival.

What's more, that Li Cheng is yelling, wanting to duel with the supervisory team!
Because this handsome prince had just been promoted to a major general, he was high-spirited, and felt that he was doing well again, so he wanted to eat something tough.

Terauchi Shou thought with all his heart: If this is the case, then I will help you, let you fight with the supervisory team and lose both sides, and then our Imperial Japanese Army will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Therefore, Shouichi Terauchi was polite, not only directly approved, but also Li Cheng's spirit of serving the Imperial Japanese Army was worth promoting to the entire army.

Of course, this promotion is mainly aimed at the Chaoxian Division.Let these trendy people work for the Great Japanese Empire more and more.

Li Cheng was naturally very happy to receive the order.Others are afraid of supervising the corps, but Li Cheng is not. After all, he just repelled the 56th Army and the 55th Army, and he was promoted to a major general.

Li Cheng is ready to make persistent efforts, take down the supervisory team, take the head of the Dragon Boat Festival, and realize his dream of being a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire.

Although at this time, he is already a citizen of Japan in name, but he is still a little short of a real citizen. At least he is dead now and cannot enter the Yasukuni Shrine.

He had to make a lot of military exploits, and then quietly lay in a small box the size of a palm, was carried by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, and sent to the Yasukuni Shrine.

He finds it beautiful even when he thinks about it, and this has become his lifelong pursuit.

So Li Cheng didn't even think about it, so he telegraphed the Chaoxian Division to quickly hand over the defense area with the Fourth Division, and then went north to face the Dragon Boat Festival Supervising Corps.

Of course, so far, Li Cheng still doesn't know the specific location of the supervisory team. Everything needs to be investigated by the Imperial Japanese Army before he attacks.

It's just a pity that none of the ten scouting teams sent by Momotaro came back the next day.

Kudo Shinichi said in surprise: "So many people have been sent out, why hasn't even a reconnaissance team come back? Could it be that the supervisory team has been broken up into pieces and scattered throughout Mount Tai? I remember that this seems to be a tactic of the Eighth Route Army. They I just like to break it up into pieces when the Imperial Japanese Army attacks, and hide them all in the mountains."

Nikaido Xiaonan said: "Kudou-kun is right, there is indeed such a possibility. That Dragon Boat Festival was very cunning. He may have expected that the Imperial Japanese Army would not let him go, so he sent all the troops Break it down to zero. The empire's reconnaissance planes have nothing to detect."

"En!"

Dahetang Nanchuan nodded frequently, but at this moment, only Momotaro said anything.

Because he felt that what Kudo Shinichi and the others said was wrong, because at this time, the supervisory team was not at all fragmented.

Although the imperial reconnaissance planes have been investigating, but the large troops of the imperial army have not entered Mount Tai, so what is the point of dispersing the troops in advance during the Dragon Boat Festival?Is it simply to avoid the detection of the imperial plane?

So even thinking about it feels impossible.

At this time, seeing Momotaro didn't say anything, Kudo Shinichi asked, "Your Excellency Momotaro, what do you think?"

Momotaro took out a map and said: "Duanwu's supervisory team has not been dispersed, and his troops are in this vast area west of Mount Tai. His territory is about 500 to [-] kilometers long, and Duanwu is waiting for us to enter This area is ready to ambush us at any time."

Dahetang Nanchuan said in surprise: "Your Excellency, I don't think that the Dragon Boat Festival will have enough ammunition to fight us. In the previous battle, the consumption of the supervisory corps has already exceeded his limit. And when entering the territory of Mount Tai , he blew up all his luggage and heavy artillery, haven't you seen the wreckage?"

Momotaro smiled and said: "The discarded trucks without gasoline and the heavy artillery that cannot be transported away without trucks does not mean that the Supervising Corps has no strength to fight against the Imperial Japanese Army anymore.

Of course, maybe you are right, the supervisory team may be running out of ammunition.But we are his transport team.As long as we enter the territory of Mount Tai, he will find a way to get weapons and ammunition from us.Just like the scouting team I sent out.

Ten reconnaissance teams, eighty rifles, two light machine guns, two Nambu Type [-] pistols, two sabers, grenades, and bullets.

Hehe, so we continue to send it like this, and the supervisory team of the Dragon Boat Festival will recover soon. "

Kudo Shinichi frowned and said, "Does that mean we can't even do the investigation?"

Momotaro said with a slight smile: "No, we can still investigate, but now is not the time, the Chaoxian Division will come to cooperate with us. At that time, we will block the road leading the supervisory team going south, and then enter from the west Taishan, win every step of the way, and drive the Dragon Boat Festival into the trap we designed in advance. Then the supervisory team will become our shackles."

"Wonderful!"

Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized.Just at this moment, Dahetang Nanchuan shook his head slightly and said: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, your tactics are a bit too idealistic. If we attacked from the west, we were not forced to break through to the south during the Dragon Boat Festival." , but to retreat to the east, then he will enter the depths of Mount Tai, and we will be more passive!"
