I am helping

Chapter 495 Miyano Michiichi!

In order to delay the Japanese army's sweep of Northwest Shanxi, buy more time for the base areas in Northwest Shanxi.

Under the command of the headquarters, the Eighth Route Army of each military region combined with local armed forces and the public to launch a traffic attack.

The main force of the 129th Division and the militia in the southeast of Shanxi once again launched a sabotage operation against the Zhengtai Railway.

The main force was responsible for fighting, and the militiamen and civilian husbands were responsible for transporting all the stripped rails to the steel factory of the Eighth Route Army.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region launched a raid on Pingsui Road, paralyzing railways and highways.

Li Yunlong also followed the order and sent troops and militia teams from various divisions to launch a strike against the North Tongpu Railway.

The devils in Datong didn't dare to come out to support them. Some of the big strongholds on the railway were taken away, and a cavalry regiment was dispatched from Taiyuan to reinforce along the railway. Another cavalry regiment and an infantry brigade were dispatched in the direction of Taiyuan for reinforcements, and Li Yunlong then ordered to retreat.

But at this time, there is no use for birds, and the Beitongpu Railway has been severely damaged.

As the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army became more and more powerful, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, howitzers, rocket launchers and machine guns were equipped.

After Miyano Michiichi finished speaking, he looked at Ningji Okamura and asked, "When is your Excellency going to launch a mopping operation in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka used to be the head of the 10th Division. When the soldiers of the 10th Division heard the news about General Shinozuka Tamaki, they all hoped to avenge Lieutenant General Shinozuka."

Neiji Okamura snorted coldly and said, "Recently the Eighth Route Army destroyed some railways and highways in Shanxi, causing traffic to be paralyzed. It is a good time to try the power of this tactic first."

If the Eighth Route Army continues to develop at this rate, it is expected that in one or two years at most, the Eighth Route Army in North China will have the strength to fight frontally on a large scale with the Japanese army in North China.

In fact, Okamura Ningji's original intention was to mobilize heavy troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi and destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.

At this moment, a guard walked in and reported with a pause: "Report to the general, Lieutenant General Miyano, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, has arrived and is in the reception hall."

Okamura snorted coldly in his heart, first dealt with Li Yunlong, and then dealt with the eight roads in Southeast Shanxi.

The brick and stone strongholds and brick and stone gun towers built by the devils along the Shanxi highway and railway have really become the coffins of the devils and puppet soldiers.

Neiji Okamura waved his hand, and the communications staff put the telegram on the table, bowed his head and turned to walk out with both feet together.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Yan Song, commander of the First Army, has sent a summary of information."

Unless the devils build all the tens of thousands of bunkers and gun towers in North China into the kind of thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers of the 36th Division.

What really annoyed and frightened Neji Okamura was the equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

Miyano Michiichi did the math, and there is still more than a month before the beginning of September.

Seeing Okamura Neiji walk in, Miyano Michikazu quickly stood up and gave a military salute to Okamura Neiji: "Your Excellency!"

That's right, the current Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army is Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi, the former Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army.

"Read!"

The prison cage plan formulated and implemented by the previous commander, Tada Hayao, failed completely.

Neiji Okamura returned a military salute: "General Miyano has worked hard all the way."

Although the total strength of the North China Front Army has more than 10 divisions and independent brigades, nearly 20 troops.

The entry of these three divisions, especially the arrival of the 10th Division in North China, will change the situation and strategic pattern in North China.

However, as the Eighth Route Army grew stronger and successively severely damaged several divisions of the North China Front Army, with the existing strength of the North China Front Army, it was more than sufficient for defense and insufficient for offense.

Once the Japanese army completes the encirclement and the elite soldiers begin to roll, even the gods will be hard to save.

The communications staff picked up the telegram and read: "In mid-July, the militia organized by the Eight Route Army and the common people simultaneously launched extremely destructive attacks on the Tongpu Railway, Zhengtai Railway, Baijin Railway, and Pingsui Railway, with a total of 120 kilometers of railways damaged. , a total of 200 kilometers of roads have been damaged, and many bridges and strongholds have been destroyed. At present, due to the harassment of the Eighth Route Army, the repair work cannot be carried out smoothly!"

But the difference is not too much. What makes the devils even more troublesome is that the harassment of the Eighth Route Army has continued and will continue.

In the first two years, the army in North China was powerful, and the army in North China could still fight against the Chinese army.

Neiji Okamura said: "This method of warfare is called Iron Rolling Sweeping. It is a sweeping tactic specially designed by me to target the Eighth Route Bandit area. First, send troops to attack from the two wings until the Eighth Route Army is compressed in a narrow strip, and then use The elite soldiers slowly crushed from one end to the other, rolled back and forth, and wiped out all the living creatures in the narrow strip, so as to achieve the tactical goal of the Three Lights."

"I know, let's go!"

The railways and roads have been damaged so badly that the mobilization of troops and the transportation of materials will inevitably be affected.

Then, Okamura Ningji turned around and walked to the map, his expression became a bit gloomy.

But it's a pity that the little devil doesn't have so many resources. Just building hundreds of thickened bunkers and gun towers in Taiyuan and Northwest Shanxi has already exhausted all his money.

If you want to crack this tactic, you can only quickly jump to the periphery of the enemy before the enemy completes the encirclement.

……

Neiji Okamura was very angry, the conscience of those ordinary people was greatly broken!
After the end of the Battle of Northwest Shanxi, Neiji Okamura expected that the Eighth Route Army would not sit still, but he did not expect the attack to come so quickly.

The Eighth Route Army and militias are wreaking havoc everywhere, and ordinary people in the base areas are also helping.

Therefore, the Japanese army will mobilize the 2nd Division and the other two 2nd-line divisions from the mainland to fill the vacancies in the northeast.

This time the Japanese army base camp also spent a lot of money, mobilizing three divisions from the Kwantung Army to deal with the new regiment, and one of the divisions is a Type A division!

Miyano Michiichi's expression changed, and he asked, "How is your Excellency going to try?"

Now that the strength of the Eighth Route Army has skyrocketed, those masonry bunkers and gun towers, as well as strongholds composed of bunkers and gun towers, can no longer block the Eighth Route Army.

When I arrived at the reception hall, I saw the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army drinking tea, and the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Seizo Arisue, accompanied him throughout the process.

"The mopping up operation is at the beginning of September." Neiji Okamura pushed his round glasses.

Although the scale of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Japanese army's communication lines was not as large as the Hundred Regiments War, the damage to the communication lines was not so thorough.

North China Front Army Command.

However, the North China Front Army has to control more than 80 square kilometers and a population of about 1 million in North China, and it has to fight the Chinese army.

At the desk, the communications staff held a telegram in his hand, bowed his head to Neiji Okamura and then reported.

Miyano Michiichi said: "The divisions entering the customs this time are the 10th Division, 23rd Division, and 25th Division of the Kwantung Army."

Okamura Neiji looked at Miyano Michiichi and said, "General Miyano, please introduce the three divisions transferred from the Kwantung Army."

Although I had expected it in my heart, when I heard the news from the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, all the devil chiefs of staff looked a little excited.

It can even produce infantry guns, shells and bullets by itself, and the output of weapons and ammunition is amazing.

A Type A division is equipped with hundreds of cars and thousands of mule carts, and it is no problem to assemble thousands of cars and thousands of mule carts to transport supplies.

"..."

"In addition, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still setting up an ambush halfway. Almost every main force of the Eighth Route Army carries heavy firepower such as infantry artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns. Several supporting troops suffered heavy losses."

"New tactics?" Miyano Michiichi suddenly became interested, "What kind of new tactics?"

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and soon it was time for dinner. Okamura Ningji hosted a banquet in honor of Miyano Michiichi, and the North China Front Army Headquarters Major General and senior officers attended.

"At present, these three divisions are ready to enter the customs, and they can enter the customs by train at any time."

Peiping.

Miyano Michiichi said: "Your Excellency, I'm very interested in your iron roll mopping up tactics, can I come to the battlefield to observe and learn in person?"

Immediately Okamura Ningji went to the reception hall together with the guards.

But Li Yunlong in Northwest Shanxi was too arrogant. The Army Staff Headquarters, the base camp of the Japanese army, issued a document to deal with Li Yunlong as soon as possible, so Okamura had no choice but to obey the order.

The expression on Neiji Okamura's face didn't fluctuate at all, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Ningji Okamura pushed his glasses, and said, "I have recently studied a new method of warfare, which I plan to use against Li Yunlong and Xinyituan in Northwest Shanxi."

Okamura Ningci showed a smug expression on his face, and said: "My public security strengthening campaign has achieved initial results, especially in Hebei Province, where the Eighth Route Army's activity area has been compressed. In the test area for suppressing the Communist Party in Central Hebei, the 27th Division, the 110th Division, the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, and the Royal Association Army have a total of more than [-] people. They have now completed their assembly and have carried out iron rolling on the Eighth Route bandit area in Central Ji Type experimental sweeps to perfect my iron rolling sweep tactics."

Right now, the strength of the Kwantung Army is only more than 10 divisions. After three divisions are transferred into the customs, the pressure on the Kwantung Army will increase. After all, Su's military strength in the Far East is still very strong.

Behind the desk, Neiji Okamura's expression didn't change at all, but his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

Miyano Michiichi gasped for a moment, secretly thought that Neiji Okamura was indeed a master tactician, and he was the only one who could come up with such a vicious and vicious tactic.

Soon after the Battle of Northwest Shanxi ended, the Eighth Route Army began to wreak havoc everywhere again. Railways were ripped off, roads and bridges were blown up, gun towers and bunkers were destroyed, and most of North China was filled with gunpowder and smoke.

He has received detailed information that the scale of the Eighth Route Army arsenal in Southeast Shanxi has grown to a scale of nearly [-] people.

But the impact is not as big as expected.

"Hi!"

"I see."

After dinner, after a short rest, Okamura Ningji organized staff officers to hold a combat meeting in the conference hall, and Miyano Michiichi was also listening.

The railway cannot be repaired in a short period of time, but the road is relatively easy to repair. The Class A division will soon enter the customs. On the one hand, elite troops will be sent to protect the road. troops and supplies.

Okamura's tone was surprised: "Miyano-kun is going to observe the battlefield?"

"Hi!" Miyano Michiichi said, "Anti-Japanese armed activities such as the Anti-Japanese Alliance outside the customs are becoming more and more rampant. After I learn the tactics of Your Excellency General, I can use them to sweep up the anti-Japanese armed forces outside the customs and completely wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces outside the customs."

Okamura Ningji saw that Miyano Michio admired him so much, he felt a little happy, and said: "Miyano-kun can naturally go to the battlefield to observe."

Miyano Michi bowed his head, and said in a grateful tone, "Then thank you, General!"
