Invincible from the sword

Chapter 361 This is the Minimum Requirement

Tiger Boy went through Zhang Lei's thoughts in his head.

Feel too adventurous.

His First Corps wants to annihilate the current Japanese No.11 Army, so it's not a big problem.

After all, the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army now has only two Class C divisions.

There are no planes either.

Whether it is military strength or weapons and equipment, overall, it is not as good as his First Corps.

Tiger Boy even felt that Zhang Lei's temporary regiment plus three armies would be able to annihilate the No. 11 Japanese army.

But the annihilation of the Japanese Second Army...

Tiger Boy didn't even dare to think about it.

Four first-class divisions of the Japanese army.

The combined strength is 10 people.

If it can really be wiped out in one fell swoop, then the power of the Japanese army in Central China will basically disappear.

It is not impossible to even directly advance the troops to Jiangsu and regain Jinling!
Thinking about it this way, Tiger Cub felt hot all over.

But the tiger cub didn't have a brain fever.

Zhang Lei's plan was good, but he calculated that it would be too difficult to annihilate the Japanese Second Army.

It is mainly the fighting power of the troops in the fifth theater, which is not that strong.

Although Li Delin's Fifth Theater has 50 troops.

But Li Delin's Fourth Corps was stationed in the Dabie Mountains.

This unit is immobile.

In case the divisions directly under the Central China Expeditionary Army of the Japanese Army went south, the first line of defense would be the Fourth Corps.

And the Fourth Corps now and the Second Corps together constitute the defense line of Wuhan's eastern front.

His First Corps reinforced the Fifth Theater, and the defensive forces on the eastern front of Wuhan were already weak.

If the Fourth Corps were transferred from the Dabie Mountains to the Lu'an area, then the Second Corps would not be able to stop the attack of the divisions directly under the Japanese army at all.

In this case, Li Delin's remaining troops are only 30.

Most of these 30 troops are local troops.

Although there are several armies under the direct line of the old man in Shancheng, it's hard to say whether Li Delin can command them.

After all, there are lessons learned from the past.

Lao Tang's first army is very powerful in terms of overall combat effectiveness.

The results of it?
Just because of Lao Tang, the reputation of the entire First Army is rotten.

What a pity for such a good team.

Tiger Boy frowned and said, "Zhang Lei, your thoughts are good.

But you have to know that the troops in Li Delin's hands are relatively average in combat effectiveness.

This is sore.

If we want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Second Army, we need a strong offensive capability.

In this regard, my First Corps can barely do it.

But Li Delin's place is hard to say.

The Japanese Second Army has two hundred aircraft.

There are also dozens of tanks.

There are only seventy planes in your temporary regiment.

Although there are many tanks, they are not much more than the Japanese army.

And, there is one more thing to note.

Before encircling the Japanese Second Army, we must first annihilate the Japanese No.11 Army.

Such a high-intensity battle will cause a lot of casualties to the troops.

I think our goal is not set a bit high?
According to my thinking, as long as we can annihilate the No.11 Japanese Army and force the Japanese Second Army back, we will be able to achieve our strategic goals. "

Forced to retreat the Japanese Second Army...

Zhang Lei thought for a while.

This is the minimum requirement.

Tiger Boy's words made Zhang Lei a little helpless.

Zhang Lei didn't know much about the troops in the fifth theater.

As a senior general of the national army, Tiger Boy is very clear about the combat capabilities of the entire national army.

If that's the case, that's the only way to go.

However, Zhang Lei still believes that even if the Japanese Second Army is forced to retreat, at least one division of the Japanese Second Army must be wiped out.

Only in this way can the situation be stabilized.

At least it made the Japanese Central China Dispatched Army dare not take the initiative to attack Central China for a period of time.

After confirming the battle plan, the entire First Corps quickly advanced towards the Sixth Army and Huoshan.

At this time, the No.11 Japanese Army had just arrived in Lu'an.

The two divisions of the No.11 Army have a total of 3 people.

The heads of the two Japanese divisions looked reluctant.

Okamura Ningji gave them the order to take over from the Japanese Second Army and defend Lu'an and Huoshan.

At the same time, he served as the logistics force of the Japanese Second Army.

Responsible for transporting luggage.

The head of the [-]th Division is a dwarf.

1.1 m.

Fat head and big ears.

His name is Zhong Liyi.

As the head of the newly formed [-]th Division, Zhong Liyi has always wanted to command the troops to fight on the front line.

He turned out to be the commander of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army.

After the [-]th Division was wiped out in the Battle of Changsha, he, the commander of the regiment, became a polished commander.

There are only three devils under him.

Later, the [-]th Division was reorganized, and as the oldest joint captain of the [-]th Division, he was appointed as the head of the division.

Right now, Zhong Liyi has always wanted to express himself.

Although his division was newly formed, in Zhong Liyi's view, it was nothing serious at all.

But Okamura has been keeping his divisions huddled behind as a supply unit.

In Zhongliyi's view, this is insulting.

When did Commander Okamura become so afraid of the troops of the national army?
He said to Takehiko Inoue, commander of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, "Mr. Inoue, this time we are acting as a supply unit again.

Really upset.

Commander Okamura seems to have been beaten by the national army.

So timid now.

Now His Excellency King Nianyan's Second Army is launching a large-scale attack on the national army in the fifth theater.

It's going very well.

In this case, we should put all our troops into the mall.

But Commander Okamura actually asked us to defend Lu'an and Huoshan.

Continue to serve as the supply unit.

Inoue-kun, aren't you angry? "

anger?
Inoue Takehiko stared at Nakazato Takeshi like a fool for a long time.

It seems that Zhong Liyi has never been beaten by the society at all.

Today's military is very different from what it used to be.

Their Japanese troops have been defeated by the opponent several times in succession.

Takehiko Inoue even felt that if this continues, their Japanese army will be completely finished.

Going to the front line to fight now is courting death!

As the head of the [-]th Division, Inoue Takehiko was beaten several times.

Especially the fighting power of the Tiger Cubs is extremely terrifying.

In the Wangjiang area, the opponent annihilated their two and a half divisions.

Even Commander Okamura was shocked by the beating.

But this Zhong Liyi actually wanted to go to the front line to attack.

Is he an idiot?

Inoue Takehiko shook his head, and did not argue too much with Nakasato Takeshi: "Nakasato-kun, I think it is a very correct decision for Commander Okamura to do so.

The current combat effectiveness of the national army is very powerful.

Otherwise, the two and a half divisions of our No. 11 Army would not have been killed by each other in just one day.

That's two divisions.

The No.20 Seventh Division and the No.18 Brigade are the elite of our No.11 Army.

Such troops have been killed by the opponent, Mr. Zhongli, do you absolutely think that our two divisions can win?

This time Commander Okamura asked us to defend Lu'an and Huoshan, that is to take care of us.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether our two divisions can survive to the end.

Nakasato-kun, please be content. "

Takehiko Inoue's face was very indifferent.

As long as he is not allowed to go to the front line to fight, being a supply unit is nothing to him at all.

He finally became the commander of the [-]th Division, and his ass is still hot.

If the jade is broken like this, who can I ask for reason?
In front is Lu'an.

As long as he entered Lu'an, his [-]th division would be safe.

Inoue Takehiko and Nakazato Takeshi, the means of transportation they are riding on are the characteristics of the island country, carrying a bucket.

This motorcycle looks very strange.

At first glance, it is not designed by good people.

Moreover, the islanders are short in stature, so this kind of sidecar is like a toy.

Originally, according to their level, they could be equipped with a car.

But now because of the shortage of resources in the island country, it is impossible for them to equip the division heads of the Japanese C-level divisions with cars.

The most is to give a horse.

Anyone who is a soldier knows that.

This riding is very painful.

It's okay to be close.

If the distance is far, it will be easy to wear the dan.

That kind of taste, don't mention how sour it is.

Originally, two guys could sit in the truck, but only two people could sit in the cockpit of the Japanese truck.

One of them is the driver.

The two Japanese army division heads discussed it, and they got it, and they got it by sitting on the bucket.

That way, we can still chat together.

Bragging.

So Takehiko Nakazato and Takehiko Inoue sat on the sidecar with their buttocks pouted.

Zhong Liyi held his command saber with both hands, with a very disdainful face.

He didn't listen to Takehiko Inoue's words at all.

Suddenly, Zhong Liyi seemed to hear something.

A little familiar.

But for a while, he couldn't remember what it was.

Takehiko Inoue still has good ears.

The head of the Japanese division moved his ears twice, and then he raised his head strangely.

this voice...

Takehiko Inoue looked at the gray sky, feeling very puzzled.

Judging from the sound, it seemed to be the sound of an airplane.

But he wasn't too sure either.

Because under normal circumstances, there should not be their planes here.

Now all the planes of their Japanese army are with the Second Army.

The mall is being bombed.

Did I hear it wrong?

Takehiko Inoue put his right hand over his eyebrows, blocking some of the light.

That way, he can see a little more clearly.

Then, Takehiko Inoue saw a small black dot.

very small.

A bit like black egg sand.

what is this?
Takehiko Inoue is not stupid either.

After being stunned for a moment, the eyeballs immediately widened.

My heart skipped a beat.

It's an airplane! ! !

As the division commander of the Japanese army, Inoue Takehiko's battlefield response was still very fast.

Soon he realized that these planes did not belong to their Japanese army.

Because the sound is wrong.

Takehiko Inoue quickly ordered his troops to disperse.
