mixed in the war

"boom--"

"Boom--"

"Clang-crack-"

Suddenly such an abrupt sound was mixed in the sound of cannon explosions that almost filled his ears. Yoshio Shinozuka immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a kettle that had been shaken to the ground. On the other hand, there stood an embarrassed and slightly frightened staff officer.

"What are you doing on the ground? Pick it up." Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and scolded.

"Hi!" The staff officer breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the water bottle and put it on the table, and then he and several other companions gathered around the map on the table, pretending to discuss the battle in front of them.

"The gunfire stopped."

Masahani Hirata was standing beside Yoshio Shinozuka, and also saw this scene, he didn't say anything, but he was a little surprised at the "peace" that Yoshio Shinozuka showed just now.Yoshio Shinozuka has been losing his temper a lot lately, and if anyone in the headquarters makes a small mistake, they will be reprimanded.Just like last time, a staff officer couldn't hold back a sneeze, and he slapped him twice, resulting in perforated eardrums... So now those staff officers are a little afraid of this commander.As the deputy chief of staff who took over from Akira Muto, Masahani Hirata tried to persuade him, but it was useless. On the contrary, he also suffered from the consequences, so he simply shut up.

"The artillery stopped, and the Chinese attack will come soon..." Shinozuka Yoshio also sighed. [

The Chinese want to recover Shanxi!

Originally, everyone took this as a joke.That's right, the Chinese have an armored corps in Inner Mongolia, but this corps has no combat effectiveness at all, and the most important thing is that the Chinese lack follow-up spare parts, so the large-scale armored weapons have basically become decorations.Moreover, according to the calculations of the base camp, the Chinese should not be generous enough to send this corps to the battlefield as soon as they take over.This is not in line with the habits of the Chinese people.What's more, the cost of an armored corps attack is far higher than that of ordinary troops. The Chinese "government" will definitely not be willing to part with it.And apart from this good-looking armored corps, how much power can the Chinese have to recover Shanxi?Although the power of the Great Japanese Empire is now concentrated in Southeast Asia, the strength of the North China Front Army has not been greatly affected by this. At the beginning, Tada Hayao was able to sweep North China with this army, and today they use this army to protect Shanxi. Will it be such a big problem?

So, don't take it lightly though.But their North China Front Army didn't take this battle too seriously.Especially when they heard that only Hu Zongnan's No. 30 Fourth Army was active in the Chinese army, and the rest of the troops, such as Fu Zuoyi, Yan Xishan, and Wei Lihuang, were silent, they were even more relaxed.In their view, this is another political game played by Chiang Kai-shek, rather than really wanting to fight them.

It can be proven.Empiricism can kill.

Hu Zongnan.The so-called "Whampoa Student No. 1" who was hit hard by Yoshio Shinozuka and Hayao Tada last time finally showed some ability to live up to his name.There was no positional warfare or reconnaissance.He directly used the strength of the two divisions as the forward, advancing almost at full speed, and caught them by surprise.Within two days, three of their county towns and dozens of strongholds were destroyed.

Afterwards, Moritake Tanabe, who replaced Yoshio Shinozuka as the commander of the 1st Army and was in charge of guarding Shanxi, was furious and personally led the troops to attack, vowing to teach Hu Zongnan another lesson that he would never forget.After Hu Zongnan received the news that Tanabe Moritake personally attacked.It also seemed to be a little scared, and immediately stopped attacking and put on a defensive formation.

Moritake Tanabe was fooled.

The two armies lined up, and as soon as the battle started, in less than two hours, the Japanese army's position was smashed into nearly a thousand tons of artillery!

Moritake Tanabe was immediately stunned.

The Chinese are very "saving" in war.Mountain cannons can be used.Never use cannons; if you can use mortars, never use mountain cannons; if you can use grenades or unconscionable cannons, never use mortars; but if you can use people, you basically don't use artillery... In the eyes of the Chinese, human life is worthless .Guns are valuable.The lives of a regiment may not be enough for a few of their mountain cannons to fire two shots.Even the "rich" Central Army basically has this kind of thinking.Therefore, Moritake Tanabe never considered that he would be bombarded by Hu Zongnan on a large scale, but made a lot of camouflage on the position to prevent the bombing of the Chinese Air Force.

But Hu Zongnan just put on such a "no life" style of play, and it was exactly like this that Hu Zongnan broke through Moritake Tanabe's position only after setting it up for a long time.The once brilliant Japanese 1st Army retreated in a panic, and Hu Zongnan led his troops in hot pursuit.At the same time, the Chinese Air Force, which has not shown its figure on the battlefield, finally showed up.The two airborne regiments blocked the only way for Tanabe Moritake's main force, and with the assistance of Air Force fighter jets and bombers, they did not retreat.A day later, Hu Zongnan also chased him up, without saying hello, and came up again with a burst of fierce shelling.

According to calculations, Hu Zongnan should have consumed at least [-] tons of artillery before hitting Taiyuan.

But this huge consumption is worth it.Moritake Tanabe and the 1st Army led by him were dizzy under such onslaught, unlike the "chic" Japanese army faced Japan a few years ago.On the contrary, they seem to have lost a lot from the old masters. Although their performance was far from that bad, but with the death of Tanabe Jintake and the successive defeats of the troops, who would care whether they fought hard or not?

Shinozuka Yoshio had just taken over Tada Hayao's seat not long ago, and found that the situation in Shanxi was critical, so he didn't care too much, so he hurriedly gathered the troops he could muster and headed to Shanxi.

However, the morale of the Japanese army was low, especially Hu Zongnan's style of attack was completely "new". Confusion, including Yoshio Shinozuka.However, Hu Zongnan can live on, but Shinozuka Yoshio must persevere.Although Japan has tried its best to attack Southeast Asia and has achieved a huge advantage, they are still unable to transform the resources of Southeast Asia into military strength.Moreover, to fight Siberia first, and then Southeast Asia, the supplies that Japan can mobilize are already pitifully small, and Yoshio Shinozuka must "save"! [

If it was in the past, saving was saving, and the big deal was to compete with the Chinese army in terms of courage, marksmanship and combat experience. Anyway, the Japanese imperial army's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the Chinese army, and they can win by one to ten. They are not afraid.But now it's different.The squadron no longer meets them face-to-face, nor does they play crowd tactics, they play with "materials" and "weapons"!Just like when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese army was against Japan.

Yoshio Shinozuka retreated after repeated battles, and now he can only defend Taiyuan.And outside the city is Hu Zongnan's entire No.30 Fourth Army!He has been surrounded by the opponent who once looked down upon him.

***************************************************** ** "Mother Hippie—"

Outside Taiyuan City.A Zhejiang Fenghua cursing dialect with a Shaanxi flavor came from the former enemy headquarters of the 34th Army.But no one will mistake this for Lao Jiang.Because everyone present knew that it was Hu Zongnan's voice.

"The Japanese army is exhausted and has no fighting power. Give me three more days. Taiyuan City can definitely be taken, and I can also capture Yoshio Shinozuka and Masakan Hirata alive. Tell me to stop now, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you already say that the central government has an overall consideration." Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army, sat on the side, crumpled the military cap in his hand depressedly, and threw it on the table angrily.

"Overall consideration, overall consideration...then have they considered the situation we are facing? Once the offensive stops, the Japanese army may reorganize an effective defense." Hu Zongnan looked frustrated, "As long as Taiyuan can be captured, capture Yoshio Shinozuka alive , the recovery of Shanxi is just around the corner. What can be more important than this right now?"

"From the beginning of the war to the present, more than 3000 tons of guns alone have been consumed. If we can't win Taiyuan, how can we explain to the fathers of the party and the country?" Fan Hanjie, commander of the No. 20 Seventh Army, was also indignant.He and Song Xilian's troops are the main force to attack Taiyuan this time, and Song Xilian will be fine.A first-year student in Whampoa, not to mention Hu Zongnan's classmate, he also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 34th Army, Lao Jiang's confidant, and used to fight against the Japanese army one-on-one in Fujinshan.He played with awe and prestige, and the credit is also considered illustrious.But he can't, he was mixed with the [-]th Route Army before, and the [-]th Route Army staged a coup against Chiang in Fujian. Although he "anyway" in time, and thus received the attention of Lao Jiang, the foundation is not clean after all. , It is very necessary for a credit to stabilize its own foundation.Furthermore, as a general, seeing a big victory ahead, but being suddenly grabbed by life, who can bear this feeling?

"I think some people are jealous." Ding Delong, the commander of the First Army, suddenly patted the table, "Calculating the many battles before, how can there be any battle that can regain a province like ours? Such a great achievement, some people are jealous!"

"Send a report to the principal!" Hu Zongnan gritted his teeth.As the commander of the first army in the direct line of Whampoa, Ding Delong, a guy who graduated No. 1 in the fourth phase of Whampoa, still has a lot of weight in his words.And with Ding Delong's reminder, he immediately thought of a person: Chen Cheng!Chen Cixiu!It must be the guy who always fights against him, afraid that he will be rewarded for his meritorious service, which will further strengthen his weight in the chairman's heart, so he gave him a demon moth at this time.

"Yes, send a report to the principal!" Song Xilian also shouted from the side: "That's it, the principal learned: Our soldiers fought bloody battles with high morale, and now the enemy is about to be defeated. Once the attack stops, the enemy will have a chance to breathe... "

"Give the enemy a chance to breathe! Shoushan, Yinguo, I know you are very upset now, but even if you are not angry, you have to slow down the offensive first."

Song Xilian quickly considered the words of the telegram.This is very particular, no matter how angry they are, no matter how angry they are, they must not say that the chairman is deceived by villains, because that is an insult to Chiang Kai-shek.How can a leader be fooled by a villain?But when he was chanting the telegram, a person suddenly broke into their headquarters.

"Mr. Zhang?"

Seeing the person coming, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up to take two steps forward.Zhang Zhizhong is the director of Lao Jiang's attendant office, why did he suddenly come to Shanxi?

"I heard that your offensive was very urgent, and Yoshio Shinozuka was almost unable to fight back. The chairman was very relieved. But it was also like this. I was afraid that you would disregard the order of the central government, so I had no choice but to come." Zhang Zhizhong did not follow this group. He is polite, not only because he is the chief attendant of Lao Jiang, and his status is higher than these people, but also because he was the captain of the cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he can be regarded as the teacher of Hu Zongnan and others. "To tell you the truth, the fight against Shanxi is not just In order to regain Shanxi, this matter is of great importance, and it also involves our strategic layout in Southeast Asia... The chairman has issued a strict order before I came, and none of you are allowed to violate the military order. Once you violate it, you will not be lightly forgiven!"

"But Mr. Zhang, we can capture Yoshio Shinozuka alive right away..." Ding Delong said angrily.

"Who is Yoshio Shinozuka? Is he comparable to aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars?"

"..."
