Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 523: Tank battle on the Jiaolai Plains

In Quancheng, the former headquarters of the Twelfth Army, pre-war meetings continued.

When Okamura Neiji spoke Japanese with a Fenghua accent and loudly shouted the declaration that I will win with the advantage, several division commanders present only felt a chill rising on their spines, and this ominous reaction was vague There are also signs of spreading throughout the body.

However, the old devil who was in high spirits did not notice anything strange about his colleagues.

His face was flushed, and he thought that the mobilization effect just now was excellent, and he even regained a bit of the high-spiritedness of his youth. Adhering to the concept of striking while the iron is hot, Okamura Neji went straight to the point and laid out his battle plan.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the enemy-friendly situation map that I completed this morning with the staff and intelligence agencies."

"Currently we occupy the entire plain in northwest Shandong, most of the hills in central and southern Shandong, and half of the northern Shandong Plain. The Eighth Route Army is entrenched in southwest Shandong, the Jiao Lai Plain and the Jiaodong Peninsula."

"From a strategic and logistical perspective, we must first open up the entire Jiaoji Railway in this campaign. After all, the fuel reserves of the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions are limited, and it is impossible to waste them all on the road."

In Operation No. 1, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army need to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time. They are 01, 02, and 03 with the Jiaodong Peninsula as the core, and infantry experts who advance from eastern Henan to southwest Shandong.

To put it bluntly, an array of this level can definitely be described as luxurious.

Being able to mobilize three out of ten soldiers from the border area, even if Neji Okamura died suddenly on the spot, he would be buried with great splendor.

Faced with this kind of incredible difficulty that is comparable to the defeat of a small country in Steel 4, the answer sheet handed over by the old devil is also very cautious. He decided to concentrate his superior forces on key breakthroughs first, trying his best to avoid the risk of being attacked from both sides in the early stages of the battle.

Seeing that the division commanders were silent and fell into analyzing the situation, Okamura Neji simply picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, giving his colleagues enough time to think.

After two or three minutes, he felt that the time was right, so he returned to his position and began to deploy.

"Okay, you are all the pride of my younger brother's country, and you must have seen the current situation clearly. Then I will just assign the tasks directly. If there are any problems, we can discuss them together."

"In this battle, I decided to place the main battlefield in the Jiaolai Plain."

"When the battle officially begins, we will use the 8th, 12th, 23rd and 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions as the main force to strive to open the Jiaoji Railway in the shortest possible time."

After finishing speaking, the five division commanders from the Kwantung Army nodded subconsciously, apparently having no objections to Okamura Neji's deployment.

Two fully equipped armored units, plus two fairly mobile field horse divisions and a mechanized division, this force was an elite division in any theater of the Republic of China.

The Ordinary Preserved Fruit Army and even the Central Army with poor equipment may not even be able to withstand their first wave of offensive.

Even when fighting against TG, the old devils are still confident.

Besides, the 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions have not conducted a formal armored battle since their establishment. The Eighth Route Army has tanks, the long-awaited enemy of the two divisions.

After several discussions, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, commander of the First Tank Division, finally stepped forward and expressed their concerns and needs.

"Your Excellency, Commander, my colleagues and I fully agree with your deployment. Jiaolai is a plain, and several of our divisions have experienced similar drills in the Guande exercise. We all have the confidence and strength to complete the combat mission."

"But considering the strength of the Eighth Route Army's air force, please allocate part of your ground aviation resources to the main battlefield. We don't need any air superiority, we just hope that the warriors can protect the combat zone."

"After all, the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly affected by being frequently harassed by villains in the air."

Hearing this, Okamura Neji couldn't help but smile. The concerns of several division commanders were completely expected. This feeling of having everything under control once made the old devil obsessed and intoxicated.

After a brief intracranial climax, he coughed lightly and signaled the meeting staff to distribute documents.

After several lieutenant generals started reading, Okamura Neji took the opportunity to explain:

"Since I dare to set the main battlefield on the plains, I naturally have full confidence. In this battle, I can not only tilt the resources of the Army and Aviation towards you, but I can even mobilize the Navy to seize air supremacy."

"I can only say that the Eighth Route Army is really good at seeking death. Why is it so bad that it dares to secretly develop the navy?"

"Look, our Navy Red Deer is getting impatient now."

For the Benzi Navy, if it was just their homeland that was bombed, they really wouldn't be so anxious.

The coastal areas of the Republic of China were occupied by the Army. Even if the navy makes frequent mistakes in the air defense war against our brotherhood, the biggest blame cannot be placed on itself.

but! If the Eighth Route Army begins to develop a navy, the situation will be different.

Until now, no one knows how many killer moves TG has hidden. If you don't pay attention, there will suddenly be a fleet with good strength on paper in the back of the mainland. Yamamoto Isoroku will not have time to cry. In order to nip the risk in the cradle, to give an explanation to His Majesty Tian Locust, and to sell face to Umezu Yoshijiro, this time Hainan Airlines forcibly transferred some of its troops to participate in the No. 1 operation.

It was precisely because of the addition of dozens of Nine-Six Ship Battles and Zero Battles that Okamura Neiji had the confidence to make a promise.

After hearing the news that the Navy's Red Deer was also going to join the war, awkward expressions immediately appeared on the faces of Hoshino Toshimoto and others.

However, considering that the other party wanted something from the Kwantung Army, and had the intention of sending troops to reinforce them, they finally agreed to it secretly.

"Since someone takes the initiative to be a filler, we naturally have no objections."

"By the way, please Commander, please deploy the Navy Red Deer in the most dangerous airspace, so that those **** who have their eyes on the top can taste the charm of the battlefield of the Republic of China."

"After the war, they suffered heavy losses, and those naval generals will no longer be able to say anything sarcastic."

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese generals present burst into laughter. Suddenly, the combat conference room was filled with happy air.

Being able to defeat the navy's red deer is a dream come true.

However, several old Japanese soldiers soon stopped laughing, because Okamura Neji announced the specific arrangements for the remaining troops in one go.

"After the fighting breaks out in the Jiao Lai Plain, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong will inevitably send reinforcements at all costs. If they want to reach the main battlefield we have designed, they must pass through the hills of central and southern Shandong."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"I plan to hand over the task of blocking enemy reinforcements to the 27th, 32nd, 35th and 59th Divisions."

"Although your combat effectiveness is not as good as that of friendly forces, defending is far less difficult than attacking. Don't put too much pressure on us, just rely on the favorable terrain to hold on firmly."

After explaining the entire game plan, Okamura Neji raised his head and cast his gaze on Dobashi once.

For the next garrison task, all the main forces will belong to the North China Front.

As the only general, he needs to sit in Quancheng and lead the overall situation. The important task of commanding the central and southern front lines will naturally fall on the commander of the 12th Army.

The moment he raised his head, the old devil saw an extremely haggard face, which stunned him for a moment.

"Why."

No wonder.

The Twelfth Army originally occupied two resource-rich provinces. How high-spirited it was to suppress the preserved fruit and TG by oneself.

But as the situation changed, the earthen bridge a month ago was like bones in a grave.

If the reinforcements hadn't gone south in time, he might have been able to huddle in Quan City every day, living a life of fear, embarrassment and cowardice.

This series of failures and losses not only caused dissatisfaction among the senior leaders of the dispatched army with Doqiao, but also shattered the fighting spirit of a younger brother's lieutenant general.

Thinking of this, the old devil patted his old subordinate on the shoulder with some distress.

"Mr. Tuqiao, although central and southern Shandong is vast, there is absolutely no doubt that the combination of Sishui, Yishui, hills and cities can suppress and hinder the attacking troops."

"With four divisions on hand, it will definitely not be a problem to stop the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong. Besides, don't forget that we still have a reserve team on hand."

"The 11th Division, they are one of the best mountain troops in the Kwantung Army. Once your defense line in Zhongnan is tight, I will not hesitate to send Takashi Takamori south to join the battlefield."

Having said this, Okamura Neji returned to the podium again.

His eyes were firm, and his whole person exuded a fighting spirit that was visible to the naked eye.

In the old devil's view, he is now like a genius architect, and the division leaders are senior contractors. With everyone's concerted efforts, a magnificent counterattack building rose directly from the ground.

"Gentlemen, my brother's country's cause in North China has reached a critical stage. Operation No. 1 is our first step to regain the occupied area."

"I will do my best to assist you in the next battle. Whether it is the main battlefield in the Jiaolai Plain or the enemy defense line in central and southern Shandong, I have prepared a sufficient number of line-filling troops for everyone."

"It's still the same sentence. No matter how you say it, the battle strength is 300,000 vs. 200,000. The advantage lies with me! Please everyone!" (End of this chapter)
