Invincible from the sword

Chapter 235 Mobile Warfare Is Scary

Inside the No. 11 Army Command of the Japanese Army, Inaba Shiro received the latest telegram from the Sixth Division.

The Eighth Army withdrew from Xinqianghe and disappeared.

Due to the heavy rain, the Sixth Division is still trapped in the Xinqiang River.

The troops advanced slowly.

Tanks, artillery and trucks were all blocked by mud.

Only one kilometer forward in three hours.

This shocked Okamura Ningji.

The Eighth Army actually retreated?
Okamura Neiji looked at the huge map, frowning Lao Gao.

It's so weird.

In Xinqianghe, Tiger Cub's Eighth Army has a very strong combat effectiveness.

After fighting for three days and three nights, the Sixth Division failed to capture Caoxieling.

Even Neiji Okamura had to be convinced by such a defense.

He even thought that it would take at least five days for the Sixth Division to break through the position of the Eighth Army of the National Army.

But now, the Eighth Army actually retreated?
Are there too many casualties?
Neiji Okamura couldn't figure out what Tiger Cub was doing.

He was sure that the Eighth Army would never retreat for no reason.

Tiger Cub must be planning some big plan.

Moreover, it happened to be raining again now.

This is not good news for his No.11 army.

Aoki, Chief of Staff of the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army thought about it for a while, and felt a little problem.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Army is now missing. Should we order the Sixth Division to continue advancing towards Changsha?"

Neiji Okamura nodded: "Nothing can stop the soldiers of our big island country.

Even without heavy weapons, the troops of our island nation are still invincible.

Order the Sixth Division, leave heavy weapons, and continue to advance rapidly to Changsha.

A day later, the Sixth Division must be pushed to the Miluo River area. "

Hey!
A devil immediately sent a telegram to the Sixth Division.

But Neiji Okamura was still not at ease in his heart.

This Eighth Army is the main force of Tiger Cubs.

Now that he is missing, Okamura Ningji is very anxious.

He believed that Tiger Cub's Eighth Army would not retreat for no reason.

His eyes wandered around the huge map, and finally, he fixed his eyes on Gao'an on the eastern front.

Now the [-]st Division and the Saeda Detachment are in full swing on the Eastern Front.

Nanchang has been taken.

Their [-] troops have already reached the front line of Gao'an.

This is a huge threat to tiger cubs.

Will Tiger Boy transfer the Eighth Army to the Eastern Front for reinforcements?
Is this possible?

Neiji Okamura stared at the area around Gao'an intently, thinking that there was a possibility.

When he said this, he was directly vetoed by his chief of staff, Aoki: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is absolutely impossible.

The distance from Xinqiang River to Gao'an is more than [-] kilometers.

It would take at least five days for Tiger Cub's Eighth Army to reach Gao'an.

In five days, our [-]st Division and Saeda Detachment had already captured the bronze drum and pushed the troops to the flanks of the main force in the Ninth War Zone.

I think that the Eighth Army may have been withdrawn to rest because of heavy casualties. "

Normally, it does.

Their [-]st Division and Saeda Detachment advanced very fast.

But now, it is raining heavily.

It is simply impossible for their troops to advance quickly.

Neiji Okamura hurriedly asked: "Is there a telegram from the [-]st Division?
How is the weather? "

A ghost second lieutenant replied: "Report to your Excellency, the [-]st Division and the Sae detachment, there is no report on the weather at present.

But it is estimated that the situation is similar to that of the Sixth Division. "

Suo ga.

Ningji Okamura nodded.

reacted.

Tiger Boy must have transferred the Eighth Army to the Eastern Front.

Otherwise, there is no explanation at all.

Tiger Boy really didn't play his cards according to common sense.

He was taking advantage of the heavy rain to compare his speed with their No.11 army.

In this ghostly weather, the mechanized advantages of their island nation's troops could not be brought into play at all.

On the contrary, Tiger Cub's troops, because they are all infantry, will advance much faster than their island troops.

Right time and place.

Tiger Boy is really good at fighting.

But he is not worried, will Xiangbei be broken through by our troops?
Neiji Okamura snorted.

This kind of mobile warfare is terrifying.

Okamura Ningji said his own analysis, and Aoki, the chief of staff of the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army, felt a little bit in his heart.

"Your Excellency, if this is the case, then our offensive on the Eastern Front will encounter great resistance.

The opponent's Eighth Army has the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Ninth Theater. "

Neiji Okamura nodded: "Tiger Boy's idea is definitely not just to block our [-]st Division and Saeda Detachment in Gao'an.

I suspect that he wants to wipe out our troops on the Eastern Front in Gao'an. "

Nani? ? ?

The Japanese chief of staff, Aoki's eyes almost popped out.

Tiger Cub is so courageous!

His little force is not enough at all, is it?

Aoki thought for a while: "Your Excellency, this possibility is unlikely, right?

Now our [-]st Division, after supplementing a wing of the [-]th Division, its combat effectiveness has been strengthened.

The combat effectiveness of the Saeda detachment is very strong.

Want to wipe out our troops on the Eastern Front, Tiger Cub's troops, do you have the strength? "

Okamura Ningji is not so sure.

Without this heavy rain, it would have been impossible for Tiger Cub to eat up his [-]st Division and Sae detachment in one bite.

But this heavy rain caused the tanks and artillery of the [-]st Division to rot in the mud.

Can't move at all.

Without heavy weapons, the combat effectiveness of his troops on the eastern front dropped by at least one-third.

But it's hard to say who wins and loses.

Neiji Okamura was also very depressed.

Now, the strength in his hands is not enough.

The situation was good at first, but because of a heavy rain, it suddenly took a turn for the worse.

This made him very worried.

Draw troops from other places to reinforce the Eastern Front?

Not very realistic.

Now in Xiangbei, what he needs is to quickly tear apart the opponent's line of defense.

It is impossible to draw troops from anywhere.

It will not work to draw troops from Wuhan.

Now there are more than half of the third division of the guards in Wuhan.

With another transfer, Wuhan will be empty.

You have to figure out a way.

Neiji Okamura's head turned very fast.

High-speed operation.

It's all smoking.

How to do?
How to do?
I want to get through Ren Du's second channel!
Neiji Okamura looked at the map, trying to find a solution.

As an excellent commander of the island nation, Neiji Okamura's adaptability is not covered.

Soon, Neiji Okamura thought of a way.

Neiji Okamura blushed with excitement.

Tiger Boy, you would never have imagined that I, Neiji Okamura, would be so awesome.

Hahaha!
Neiji Okamura climbed onto the huge map: "Order, the 19st Division, the No.[-] Army and the Eighth Army that attract Tiger Cubs on the Gao'an line.

Order the Sazhi detachment to bypass Tiger Zai's troops, and go straight to the main force of the Ninth War Zone from the south of Jinjiang.

Together with the troops in northern Hunan, encircle the main force of the Ninth War Zone and occupy Changsha! "

Aoki, Chief of Staff of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army, his eyes lit up.

Admired endlessly.

What the hell!

This plan is so high!
Surround Wei and save Zhao! !
At this time, in the Chief's Department of the Ninth War Zone, Tiger Cub was sitting on the ground, looking at the sand table on the ground.

Also thinking about the loopholes in his plan.

I always feel like something is missing.

Chief of Staff Wu next to him didn't dare to speak.

At this time, no one can disturb Tiger Cub.

What if you run out of ideas?
After Tiger Boy thought for a while, he came to his senses.

This plan of his, with Okamura Neiji's IQ, is absolutely obvious.

Neiji Okamura's head is very smart.

So what will this bastard do?

It is impossible to transfer troops from northern Hunan.

In that case, the Japanese army in northern Hunan would not be able to advance at all.

If you want to open up the situation, the key is still on the Eastern Front.

Tiger Boy soon realized that Neiji Okamura would definitely divide his troops.

Use part of the troops to entangle his troops on the Eastern Front, and then use the other part of the troops to quickly advance to the back of his main force.

So as to surround his main force.

Surround Wei to save Zhao?

Humph.

Neiji Okamura is so good at playing!

Tiger Boy immediately sent a telegram to Commander Luo of the No.19 Group Army: "The Japanese army on the eastern front must be wiped out on the Tonggu Gao'an line.

To prevent the division of the Japanese army. "

This battle is all about speed.

As long as the speed is fast enough, the Japanese army will have no time to divide its troops.

In the headquarters of the No.19 Army, Commander Luo was analyzing the current battlefield situation with several army commanders.

Now the troops are almost enough, but how to fight, Commander Luo wants to hear some people's opinions.

After all, in Gao'an now, there is a whole division and a half of the Japanese army.

It's very difficult to wipe out such a big lump,

And even if it is wiped out, its own casualties will be too great.

An appropriate method must be considered.

Zhang Lei looked at the map.

If you want to eat this Japanese army, the best way is to let the Japanese army divide its troops.

Divide, encircle and annihilate.

This is the best policy.

Zhang Lei said: "Because of the heavy rain, it was difficult for the Japanese army to keep up with their supplies.

Just relying on the rations carried by the Japanese soldiers would not survive three days.

This is a very serious problem.

If we let the Japanese army discover a large warehouse, then the Japanese army will definitely deploy troops to seize it.

But sometimes, as long as we block the bronze drum and divide the Japanese army into two sections, they cannot be contacted.

Then concentrate your forces to destroy some of them.

In this case, even if the Japanese army on the Eastern Front cannot be completely wiped out, the Japanese army can be disabled.

It is no problem to wipe out [-] Japanese troops.

In this case, the Japanese army on the Eastern Front will definitely retreat.

As long as the Eastern Front is held, the Japanese army's attempt to occupy Changsha will surely fail. "

Commander Luo's eyes lit up.

This method works.

So Commander Luo immediately ordered to build a large warehouse immediately west of the Tonggu.

It was full of sacks.

Fill it with sand.

Japanese spies are everywhere, and they will surely find this granary soon.

As long as the Japanese army comes over, they can cut off their retreat.
