Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 408 Three days of truce!

Itabazon Seishiro nodded and said, "That's right, one inch is long and one inch is short!".

"The Type 89 150mm field cannon has a range of up to 105 kilometers. It is no problem to easily suppress the twelve [-]mm howitzers in Xu Rui's hand."

Saying that, Seishiro Itabazon walked to the table where the military map was placed in the headquarters, pointed to the military map on the table and continued to Taro Takeshita, "Takeshita-kun, when the time comes, these three 89-type 150mm field cannons will be fired." From here in Jiujiangpo, we can just reach Mingjia Town."

"If we move north to the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and shoot northward, we can completely cover Mingjia Town."

Takeshita Taro looked at the map and nodded, and said: "At that time, we can put three 89-type 150mm field cannons on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and conduct long-range bombardment from a high point to the north.".

"Not to mention that Mingjia Town can be bombed, but it is no problem to be able to drive the enemy troops defending Mingjia Town out of Mingjia Town."

Itabazon Seishiro nodded and said, "That's natural."

"It's a pity that the Type 97 medium tank and the Type 89 150mm field cannon will take at least one day to arrive at Zhenting City."

After a pause, Itazon Seishiro continued, "So, we have to have a truce for two or three days and make sufficient preparations before we can go north and launch an attack."

"It is what Banyuan-kun said."

Takeshita Taro nodded and said: "I think, let the imperial army have a three-day truce!".

"The morale of our troops has been a little low after a series of casualties before."

Speaking of this, Takeshita Taro also looked ashamed.

After all, [-]% of the loss of troops was due to him fighting before!
"Okay! Takeshita-kun!"

Itabazon Seishiro thought for a while, and agreed to Takeshita Taro's suggestion.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the morale of the various departments of the Japanese army is low.

"However, during the three-day truce, we will also send elite scouts to investigate north along both sides of the road."

Itabazon Seishiro said again.

"Banyuan-kun, do you mean going north to attack at that time, or will you divide your troops and attack in a roundabout way?"

It took a few seconds for Takeshita Taro to understand what Itazon Seishiro meant, and said in a concentrated voice.

"almost!"

Seishiro Banzono said in a condensed voice: "Although there are large-caliber heavy artillery such as Type 89 150mm field cannons to suppress the 105mm howitzers in the hands of the enemy.".

"However, Xu Rui, together with other enemy troops, should not be underestimated. I am not 100% sure that I will win Mingjia Town 100%."

"When the time comes, the main force will go northward along the road to attack, and we still need to divide our troops and send out some small groups of troops to make a tentative detour to see if we can detour from the flank and go around behind the enemy to launch an attack, and cooperate with the main force of our imperial army who are attacking from the front. offensive."

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, but couldn't deny it.

However, in the Santan River Valley before, after the enemy successfully ambushed the more than 8000 horses commanded by Itazon Seishiro, it is believed that Xu Rui had already covered the flanks.

Itabazon Seishiro's idea may not be easy to realize.

However, Takeshita Taro did not explicitly deny Itazon Seishiro. After all, Itazon Seishiro is now the commander of the army, and he has even been withdrawn as the acting head of the 41st Division.

Now, Itazon Seishiro just let him Takeshita Taro continue to actually control the remaining troops of the 41st Division.

At this time, it is impossible to contradict Itazon Seishiro.

"It is what Banyuan-kun said."

Takeshita Taro could only say so afterwards.

"Um!!!"

Seeing this, Itazon Seishiro said: "Next, we will take three days to rest.".

"Yes, Banyuan-kun!"

Takeshita Taro nodded, concentrating.

Itabazon Seishiro then said to Major Tachibana Kazuo Tachibana, the communication staff officer of the 41st Division: "Send a report to the headquarters and report our decision. We decided to truce for three days. On the fourth day, after eating at 303 o'clock in the morning, we set off from Zhenting City and went north to fight back. The [-]rd Regiment of the enemy's Jinsui Army."

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Major Kazuo Tachibana paused heavily, then turned and left.

At about the same time, the radio sent by the headquarters of the Devil's First Army to the headquarters of Seishiro Itano was actually intercepted by the communication soldiers of the 303rd Regiment Headquarters in Mingjia Town, and it took more than ten minutes to decipher it. come out.

After receiving the emergency report from the communications soldier, Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer of the 303rd Regiment, glanced at the deciphered telegram content, his face changed slightly, and then he ran out of the regiment headquarters immediately, and found the man who was watching outside the town entrance in the south of Mingjia Town. Xu Rui, the first battalion of the 303rd regiment, and Luo Youdu, chief of staff, were building fortifications.

"Reporting Commander, Chief of Staff, our communications troops intercepted the secret telegram sent by the Devil's First Army Command to Seishiro Itano. This telegram was deciphered only ten minutes ago."

After Gu Jiaping arrived in front of Xu Rui and Luo Youdu, he stood at attention with a serious expression and saluted before reporting.

Seeing Gu Jiaping's serious and dignified expression, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu glanced at each other, then immediately took the telegram from Gu Jiaping, and read it quickly.

After reading the content of the deciphered telegram, Xu Rui's face became serious.

"What's wrong? Tuan Zuo!"

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu immediately became serious and asked.

"Chief of Staff, take a look too!"

Xu Rui handed the telegram to Luo Youdu and said with a solemn expression.

"Um!!!"

Luo Youdu nodded, took the telegram and read it quickly.

Not long after, Luo Youdu had already read the content of the telegram, and his expression became more serious.

"In addition to Shinozuka Yoshinan ordering Banen Seishiro to send the redeemed Prince Chongren of Xiyuan Palace back to Taiyuan City by transport plane tomorrow morning, the second enemy situation is that Shinozuka Yoshinan then transferred three The 89-type 150mm field cannon was used by Itano Seishiro to suppress the twelve 36mm howitzers captured from the 105th Division of the Devils in our hands."

Luo Youdu said with serious eyes: "Tuan Zuo, we are in a bad situation for the next battle."

"Once our 105mm howitzer is suppressed by the Devil's 150mm field cannon, then Mingjia Town may not be able to hold on."

Xu Rui nodded, and said with a serious expression: "The little devil's Type 89 150mm field cannon has a maximum range of 18100 meters, which means it can hit about [-] kilometers."

"The 105mm howitzer we seized from the little devil has a range of only ten kilometers. Next, the devil will use three Type 89 150mm field cannons to suppress us with ease. At that time, under the cover of a Type 97 medium tank , the coordinated attack of the Devil's rifles will be covered by the firepower of the rear heavy artillery, and it will be very difficult to defend Mingjia Town."

Luo Youdu said in a concentrated voice: "Tuan Zuo, what should we do?".

"Mingjia Town will not be able to defend in the future. It will not be able to withstand the fire of the 150mm cannon at all."

Xu Rui said to Luo Youdu with solemn eyes: "We can only abandon Mingjia Town when the time comes, and then continue to intercept the water and submerge Mingjia Town, delaying the enemy's march from Mingjia Town to the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge."

"The main force of our 303 regiment, the new regiment of the friendly army, the independent regiment, etc., can only retreat to the north bank of the Nanliu River to fight against the little devils across the river."
