Age of Rebirth

Chapter 490 Another Poisonous Plan

As soon as the Japanese senior staff officer said this, it was like a heavy bomb, and other Japanese generals whispered in the room. Kiyoshi Kazuki was refreshed. He just wanted to find the root of the problem that troubled him and solve this mystery. conducive to the next step.

"Yamaguchi-kun, come ahead of you, tell me quickly!" Kiyoshi Kazuki, who had little humility and enthusiasm, gave him the main seat. This senior staff officer named Yamaguchi received the attention of His Excellency the Commander, and his face was flushed with excitement. , moved his short legs, came to the front in a few steps, and cleared his throat: "Masters, have you ever thought that with the power of the artillery of our Great Japanese Empire, even if the Chinese Jin army holding the position has combat effectiveness, then their casualties Well, will it be small?"

He looked at these senior generals proudly, and felt the pleasure of mastering other people's thoughts. Seeing that no one answered, they all stared at him intently, and became more and more proud, "Of course it will be very heavy. The heavy Jin army can't stop the attack of our empire's warriors at all, but what is the actual situation?"

He played the tune there, and the other Japanese generals listening below wanted to knock out a few of his teeth. What a fucking nonsense, talking, farting, where are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, even Xiangyue Qingji Everyone had the urge to slap him a few times, Shankou whetted everyone's appetite, and his small eyes sparkled. [

"The actual situation is that our army has suffered heavy losses. Given the peculiar combat methods of the Chinese defenders and the ingenious construction of fortifications, I conclude that the enemy facing us is by no means a second-rate Jin army, but the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. The army, and it is the main force, has a strength of about 6." This fellow Yamaguchi has a good eye and experience, and he can roughly judge the strength of Feng Jiwu's army from the density of grenades thrown by the troops.

As if enlightened, the senior generals of the Japanese army suddenly realized why they hadn’t thought of this level. Kiyoshi Xiangyue felt that he had found the source of the awkwardness. Otherwise, with the fighting will of the second-rate soldiers of the Jin army, the Imperial Army The heavy shelling, is it to blame if they don't run away and lose their shoes?

"Good advice, Mr. Yamaguchi, now that the situation has been clarified, the main force of the North China Independent Division that retreated into the Taihang Mountains rushed to Niangziguan overnight to take over the defense of the Jin army, and our army suffered a big loss. Then, Mr. Yamaguchi, you What's your opinion on our army's next move?" Secretary Xiang Yueqing put aside the first paragraph, and asked without shame, with a rare modesty.

The current him has been utterly devastated by Niangziguan, Datong is facing a confrontation, and Shandong is also fighting hard. If he can find a way to solve a series of problems, even if it is a donkey or a pig, he must humbly ask for advice, let alone, This guy Yamaguchi really has some dark ideas in his stomach.

"Your Excellency, Commander, everyone is aware of the current battle situation. The China Independent Division retreating into the Taihang Mountains is at best about 10 to [-]. His main force has reached Niangziguan. So, Tang Qiuli's The Taihang Mountains, his old nest, will definitely be empty of troops. According to pre-war intelligence, Tang Qiuli has been operating in the Taihang Mountains for many years. That is his lifeblood. Why don't our army take this opportunity to sweep up his old nest and destroy its existence? foundation!"

After he finished speaking, he made a slashing motion, with a cold light in his eyes, this guy Yamaguchi is indeed a cunning wolf, Feng Jiwu was worried about this, he thought of it, and made a suggestion.

Xiangyue Qingsi repeatedly said, "West, west!" Yamaguchi's suggestion is undoubtedly the best way at present. If Tang Qiuli can be caught in the Taihang Mountains, the next step will be a clear goal, and destroy Its base area is also an excellent strategy. The more he looked at Yamaguchi, the smarter he became.

Kazuki Kiyoshi announced on the spot that from now on, Yamaguchi-kun will officially act as the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, and he will officially take up the post after reporting to the headquarters for approval. Immediately hand over the business to Mr. Yamaguchi.

In a word, the crow at the mountain pass turned into a phoenix. It turned out to be Ikeda's subordinate. Now, in the blink of an eye, he became the number two man in North China. Where, apart from the soldiers, even the sows could not be seen, and the residents had already run away.

Encirclement and suppression of the cavalry units of the Independent Division is easier said than done. The cavalry is known for its fast movement and is erratic. The cavalry is trapped in the net, and it cannot be done without enough troops. The key is, did your Excellency Commander give him so many troops?In fact, Ikeda has been marginalized.

After the meeting was adjourned, Xiangyue Qingsi and Yamaguchi formulated a detailed plan to mop up the Taihang Mountains. Enter the Taihang Mountains in the direction, and use the brigade as a unit to carry out dragnet sweeps and steadily advance to the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains.

The distance between each brigade should not be farther than fifteen kilometers, and the radio station should be used to keep in touch at all times to prevent being scattered and eaten by the troops of the independent division. The four cavalry regiments, as a mobile force, can support all directions at any time. After the troops of the division, you are not allowed to attack without authorization, you only need to catch their whereabouts and call the main force by radio.

Then, the main force formed two encirclement circles on the periphery and gradually compressed towards the center. In this way, with the superior force, it will surely be able to encircle and wipe out a small number of troops from the Independent Division in Taihang Mountain. If this is the case, he will definitely eradicate this confidant at any cost, and even give up the entire Shanxi combat plan. This shows how much Xiangyue Qingji hates and fears Tang Qiuli.

After the plan was formulated, there was still a lack of a commander who would take charge of sweeping the Taihang Mountains. Kiyoshi Xiangyue cast his eyes on Yamaguchi, and Yamaguchi immediately understood that the plan he made had to be completed by himself. He stood at attention: "Commander Your Excellency, Yamaguchi is willing to serve the Great Japanese Empire, please issue an order!" Kiyoshi Kozuki patted Yamaguchi on the shoulder in satisfaction, this guy is more understanding than Ikeda, he can understand his boss's intentions well, he is a chief of staff Materials.

The next day, when distributing the action plan, Yamaguchi, the newly appointed acting chief of staff and commander of the troops sweeping up the Taihang Mountains, murderously told the heads of the divisions participating in the battle that all villages and towns along the way should be burned, and all Chinese The common people should be dealt with on the spot. In a word, sweep all the way, burn and kill all the way, and see fireworks everywhere, with the main purpose of destroying the survival foundation of the independent division.

I don’t know if Yamaguchi and Neiji Okamura are half-brothers of the same mother. They treat the anti-Japanese base areas in exactly the same way, except that what Yamaguchi wants is two light, and Okamura Neiji implements three light. They are all the same, completely destroying the survival basis of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

When Xiangyue Qingsi and Shankou dispatched troops to implement the plan to mop up the Taihang Mountain base area, they did not relax their attack on Niangziguan. After the frontline troops of the Japanese army dealt heavy blows, the Japanese army did not dare to suppress the defenders on the highlands on both sides of Niangziguan with artillery fire.

However, the infantry maintained a constant attacking posture. Although they were repeatedly repelled, they did not intend to retreat. Maintaining a certain pressure, the Niangziguan battle became a confrontation and a stalemate.

It was true that Feng Jiwu couldn't withdraw. He had been fighting for two days. Yan Xishan's reinforcements had not been seen for a long time. If he withdrew, it would be tantamount to surrendering Niangziguan to the Japanese army. This situation on the battlefield made Feng Jiwu very anxious, although It is impossible to accurately judge the direction of the Japanese army's next move. However, the main force of the independent division is contained in Niangziguan, and the Taihang Mountain base area, which is empty of troops, will not prevent the Japanese army from taking action. [

The division commander forwarded a telegram from Yan Xishan, which stated that the Japanese army in the direction of Datong launched a sudden full-line attack on the Jin army's defensive troops in an active offensive posture. On the same day, there was fierce fighting on the front line of Datong. The casualties were high, thanks to the strong strength of the Jin army in the direction of Datong, and the continuous input of new troops into the battle, it was possible to ensure that the line of defense was lost.

Please brother Qiuli's army must persist in the front line of Niangziguan for a few more days, at most five days. The reinforcements of the Jin army will definitely arrive. It is not an easy task to withdraw troops from the battlefield where the two sides are fighting fiercely. Yan Xishan means Obviously, he tried his best to mobilize troops, but he will not be able to come soon. This means that Feng Jiwu will have to stick to it for at least five days in Niangziguan. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. what happened?

Feng Jiwu threw the telegram on the table angrily. He originally planned to call for only one day, but now it will take seven days. He felt abducted by Yan Xishan. I'm so disheartened, it's time to burn my eyebrows, and Chief Yan is still scheming.

He is well aware of the family background of the Jin army. It is not difficult to mobilize 10,000+ reinforcements in the direction of Niangziguan. It is difficult to mobilize troops in the direction of Datong. , The eight divisions in the area of ​​Yongheguan, that is 10,000+ troops, transferred to the front line of Niangziguan, it will not exceed two days of marching distance.

Chief Yan put so many elite troops there, the intention is obvious, it is to prevent the Red Army from Shaanxi and Gansu from crossing the Yellow River again and occupying his territory. In other places, the troops of the North China Independent Division have to guard the east gate of the Sanjin land for him. What is this called?Chief Yan, then Chief Yan, you are really scheming!

Seeing Feng Jiwu's anxious look, Zhou Zhenhui himself felt guilty. Yan Xishan's actions made him more determined to leave the Jin army system.

Since Yan Xishan's reinforcements could not come soon, this battle would not be the way it is now. Feng Jiwu still had to study new strategies, but he was always simmering with fire.
