Bright Sword: Heiyunzhai was closed at the beginning

Chapter 236 Confused
Headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Army.

The air pressure in the conference room was so low that it was difficult to breathe.

The biggest humiliation since the start of the war has been carried by the little devil in Gangcun. The two divisions have suffered such a heavy loss that the base camp has been shaken.

"I was surprised to hear that the 26th Division and the 41st Division have broken jade one after another, causing the situation in North China to take a turn for the worse. Mr. Gangcun, is it true that the cherry blossoms in your hometown are blooming and you want to go home for the elderly?" Tojo Yiji's private telegram is like a slap in Gangcun On the little devil.

"Gentlemen, the current situation is difficult. Jin has lost one after another, and the accumulated Jade Shard Locust Army has no less than 3 divisions! Wucheng has fallen, Yunzhong is at stake, and the northern part of Jin is about to change hands. How should we deal with it now?" Gangcun Xiao The devil's eyes were like knives, and he stared at all the senior counselors present and asked.

The 6-strong army has been encircled and suppressed. Before the start of the campaign, nearly [-] people have been stabbed to death. Who can continue this siege?
According to the ideas of the high-ranking officers, it is king to terminate the original plan as soon as possible and concentrate our forces to recapture the lost cities, but isn't this a slap directly on the face of the little devil in Gangcun?Who dares to touch the tiger's butt at this time?

Sitting there one by one as steady as old dogs.

Lieutenant General Seya, the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, is the one who can talk. However, he is still commanding the army to attack on the front line of Shicheng. Lieutenant General Bao sat upright and showed no signs of speaking.

This made Ishii, the newly appointed deputy chief of staff, feel like a big boss many times. Others can keep quiet, but he can't do it.

Ishii stood up repeatedly, "Your Excellency, Commander, I feel that the situation has changed, and the original strategy should be adjusted according to the new situation. The 101st Division is now blocked near Pingcheng, so it is better to mobilize it. Converge with the 36th Division and the Chariot Division, go north together to solve the enemy in Wucheng, and then go to the cloud to gather the 101st Division and the Chariot Division, as well as the 2 brigades in Jindi to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route, and fill in the jade pieces of the 26th Division by the way The vacancy left will reverse the situation in the northern part of Jindi in one fell swoop."

Colonel Ishii still did his homework ahead of time. If Gao Jianwu's existence as a coward was not taken into account, this plan was quite satisfactory. Now we can't engage in refueling tactics. If we can't gather more than two divisions of heavy divisions to attack, then the safety of the troops will be greatly reduced. There is no way to guarantee it. Now that the Eighth Route Army has completed the example of independent annihilation of two divisions, the significance of the 101st Division's westward advance is actually very doubtful.

The railways and roads are cut off at any time, and the 101st Division, which is forced to walk into Jindi, is now facing too many uncertain factors.

Even the two main regiments of the so-called safe bases encountered by the vanguard did not have air force support, and now relying solely on the 101st Division itself, it has been proven that they cannot chew on the opponent's blocking positions.

What is especially hateful is that the opponent is not defending one position, but is defending on this hill today and another hill tomorrow, so that the little devil's artillery advantage cannot be fully utilized.

Blocking during the day, sneak attacking from time to time at night, the eight-way ghosts running around carrying mortars, which is much more threatening than the previous cold guns, often one mortar platoon will cause losses to the little devils in one night. Two or three teams are bombarded !

Now that the little devils are camping in the shadows, they dare not connect the field tents too close together, to avoid being hit by two shots, and both teams are buried under one mortar shot!
"Yaoxi, what do you think of Ishii-kun's suggestion?" the gang village kid asked calmly.

"Ishii-kun's words are very reasonable, and his humble position seconded, and suggested that the flying team should fully cooperate. On the one hand, they should fully grasp the intelligence of the enemy's mobilization and gathering, and on the other hand, they must go all out to find their artillery and destroy them!" Sato Koichi added, This should almost be the commander's idea, and in the eyes of Sato Koichi, there is nothing wrong with it.

If it is only in the scope of the North China dispatched army, it is true, but if it is based on Sato Koichi's inner thoughts, then it is not only that, but directly asks for help from the Kwantung Army, borrowing two divisions to advance from the northern line, and then the southern line Continue to advance with the 101st Division and the Chariot Division, and use the momentum of thunder to directly destroy the eight routes that have already emerged!
It is rare for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to come out of the valley. If we don’t take this opportunity to destroy it, it will be a legacy of raising tigers. Judging from the strength of the Eighth Route Army today, they have achieved amazing results in recharging their energy and energy in the past year, and they already have the ability to wipe out an entire division. up.

Koichi Sato felt that just taking advantage of the new victory of the Eight Routes, when he was full of confidence and dared to fight the locust army head-on, he struck out with one blow.

The Kwantung Army basically assumes the role of strategic backup now, and the deployment of two or three divisions will not affect them at all. It is quite convenient to deploy the two divisions that rely on the Tianjin area, whether it is time preparation or material transfer.

However, this cross-frontal army transfer involves not only strategy, but also many subtle relationships. The Kwantung Army is one level higher than the North China Dispatch Army. It was upgraded to the General Army last year, and it can only be a post The little devil in the village would come to the door and ask someone to do something!
How dare Koichi Sato speak about this kind of thing so easily.

"Yuxi, Sato-kun is very thoughtful. Is there anyone else who can complete this proposal?" Gangcun kid looked at Sato Koichi with approval in his eyes. This is a high-ranking officer who can pass through the base camp, a member of the official staff headquarters.

Seeing that the direction of the wind has been set, the people below can follow the thinking of the little devil in Gangcun, and they all began to offer advice and suggestions. It has to be said that these people who started with a military school undergraduate degree are still very good at checking for omissions and filling in vacancies. Strong, Colonel Ishii's idea was slowly perfected into a real battle plan.

Eighth Road headquarters, under the festive atmosphere, everyone remains busy.

"Why did you choose to go south instead of going north?" The deputy chief of staff stared at the updated map, really puzzled why he didn't fight more than a dozen counties that were easily available from Daicheng to Yunzhong, but Gao Jianwu chose to go to Jinyang, the strong city.

"Although Jinyang can be regarded as weak in strength now, it is not easy to fight. The 75 infantry artillery and the [-]mm mountain artillery are very useful for attacking the county town, but it is not so easy to attack Jinyang with thick walls."

This is where the deputy chief of staff is very puzzled after analyzing it from a purely military perspective.

"From the results, Jinyang is much more significant than Yunzhong." The boss is also a little uncertain, but obviously if Jinyang can really be won, the boss will always raise his hand [-]% in favor, even if he goes in and occupies it for a day. symbolic meaning.

"It's just that Gao Jianwu doesn't have too many chips, how can he figure out that Jinyang can fight?"

Gao Jianwu's series of brilliant victories have given the boss a strong sense of trust and even dependence.If it weren't for this, if someone else submitted such an unimaginable plan like jumping to attack Jinyang, the boss would spray blood on the spot!

The strength of Gao Jianwu's troops is now no more than 3 at all times by the boss. It is not too whimsical to rely on 2 divisions to attack Jinyang.

But this was proposed by Gao Jianwu, so the situation is different.

Gao Jianwu is almost never aimless.

"Forget it, this time we killed 2 divisions, and we've already made a lot of money. Let Gao Jianwu do whatever he wants. Isn't Lao Chen also pointing at the front? It's no surprise that he is here! We should concentrate on dealing with the aftermath. See where we can mobilize some troops to receive the spoils of these two battles, these are two reorganized divisions, Lao Chen and the others have made a lot of money, we have to help them reduce the logistical burden." The boss thought for a long time but had no idea , Just dump the blame on the brigade commander, don't care!

It is better to do something understandable to have a sense of accomplishment and participation. It is difficult to even understand the battle launched by Gao Jianwu, and he really lacks the mood to participate.

The boss moved around, even the border area was alarmed, and the three main security groups rushed to the Yanmen area day and night.

As for the freedom and ease of being willing to be a spectator in front of the boss's hand-to-hand battle, the principal, the master of micromanagement, will never appreciate it.

Gao Jianwu unified the former finger's combat thinking, and the main force immediately marched southward day and night.

Of course, such a large-scale operation is difficult to keep quiet, but Gao Jianwu has his own method to gather various county brigades and district small brigades around Yanmen and even some thousands of strong migrant workers. Under the leadership of a main battalion, Open the scene and pretend to be the main force to go north!

The march was half-hidden, and there were high-power radio stations sending or receiving telegrams at any time. The little devils and puppet soldiers in the cities along the way all retreated, and only dared to send people from afar to reconnaissance. one time!
In this way, not to mention that the little devil believed that the goal of the Eighth Route was Yunzhong, even some of the internal members of the Eighth Route, before receiving orders from their superiors, there were many guerrillas who voluntarily joined along the way!

Of course, the news they got was that they were attacking Yunzhong, and the entire army had the numbers of eight main regiments!
In this era, it is difficult to count a thousand people, not to mention that there are thousands of people in this mighty place, so if you look at it casually, it will be tens of thousands?
When some sneaked in and found out the numbers of the eight main regiments, everyone from the First Army to the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army believed it.

And the news that traces of the Eighth Route Army were found in the south, compared with this news, it was quickly judged as an act of suspicious soldiers.

The First Army Command took no effective precautions at all.

The little devils along the way also did not take any measures against the looming Southward Eighth Route. Now the little devils along the way have basically received the news that the 26th Division and the 41st Division have been annihilated by the Eighth Route, whether it is the military police brigade in the county seat or the Xincheng Brigade. At the headquarters, it's all about one thing more than one thing less, just report the news and it's over.

Even Gao Jianwu didn't expect it to be so easy, so he came to Yangqu Station, an important railway station on the Jinyang Xitongpu Line.
