233, the center blooming plan of the Japanese army
"Mr. Songdao, the Eighth Route Army has been withdrawn." Liu Yingwen said to the Japanese squadron leader.
The previous three Japanese advancing teams were all led by a second lieutenant, all at the level of the squad leader. The only one that just arrived was the squadron leader level. The captain was Lieutenant Kengoro Matsushima. His advancing team was also called the Matsushima advancing team.
The three team leaders were Yoshizawa, Nakajima and Yonekura. They were all a little nervous before, worried that the Eighth Route Army would attack.
The reason why they seized the common people was to use this as a bargaining chip.
They all knew very well that there was a little bit of no hostage cover, and they would definitely die at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. No accident.
Fortunately, with the arrival of Kengoro Matsushima, they finally could breathe a sigh of relief.
The Songdao Advance Team has many personnel and strong combat power, which can definitely stop the Eighth Route Army from attacking.
"Matsushima, when will we leave?" Yoshizawa asked.
"No, we won't leave." Kengoro Matsushima said slowly, "We will fight here for a long time."
"Long-term combat?" The three lieutenants looked at each other.
What's the meaning?
Can't go back?
How long does it take? Half a month? One month?
"Everyone, I can tell you some secrets." Kengoro Matsushima said mysteriously, "We want to control Shibalipu."
"Why?" Lieutenant Yoshizawa still didn't understand.
"Sutoki will soon arrive with a large group of troops." Kengoro Matsushima smiled gloomyly.
"Captain Yuta Sudo?" Everyone was quite surprised.
"Yes!" Kengoro Matsushima replied proudly, "The two regiments of the 41st Division will also go north quickly."
The three lieutenants looked at each other in an instant.
It seems that this is a big plan?
Two regiments were used? Tens of thousands of troops were enough!
Just for Shibalipu?
There are some considerations here.
The brigade led by Yuta Sudo is the Independent 16th Brigade from Fenyang and is directly commanded by the Taiyuan First Army Command. It has no affiliation with the 41st Division.
In other words, for the sake of Shibalipu, the Imperial Army dispatched two tactical units. This formation is quite large. The combat effectiveness of the Independent 16th Brigade is reassuring.
In the previous battle, the 16th Independent Brigade defeated more than 50,000 members of the Jinsui Army.
"Lt. General Tanabe Moebu of the 41st Division will also visit Shibalipu in person." Kengoro Matsushima continued.
"What are we going to do?" The three lieutenants were immediately excited.
It's really a big combat plan!
Even the commander of the 41st Division was dispatched in person.
"We must stick to Shibalipu." Kengoro Matsushima said slowly, "until the large imperial army arrives. Then the center blossoms."
"Hayi!" The three lieutenants straightened their bodies, their blood was pouring up, and their faces were full of excitement.
OK, the opportunity to make achievements is here.
Kengoro Matsushima was also very satisfied.
He looks forward to this day.
Finally, I have the opportunity to shine my own light.
He loves this latest center blossom plan.
The place Shibalipu is very important. It happens to be in the core area of the Eighth Route Army base. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army would not have retreated the people here.
Now, they came to the Battle Station. They used the radio station to guide the arrival of Sudo Brigade. Then they held on the brink of danger until the arrival of the 237th and 238th infantry regiments.
He believed that the Eighth Route Army at this moment had not yet noticed the Imperial Army's plan.
I thought the two regiments of the 41st Division had already headed towards Gaoping, and the base areas behind the Eighth Route Army were safe?
Haha, the Eighth Route Army is still too naive.
How could the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire be beaten passively?
After a brief loss, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka immediately formulated a counterattack plan to ignite the fire behind the Eighth Route Army.
This fire comes from the Sudo Brigade of the Independent Mixed 16th Brigade.
They set out quietly, hiding whereabouts along the way, and had quietly arrived near Shibalipu.
When the Eighth Route Army's attention was attracted to Luyang, Gaoping, Jincheng and other places in the east, they would definitely not have thought that at this time, there were even Japanese devils who dared to break into Shibalipu.
"That hostage..."
“All have been processed.”
"I don't agree!"
Suddenly, someone objected.
The person who spoke was Lieutenant Yoshizawa.
"What do you mean?"
"We must keep the hostages in case of unexpected needs."
"The Sudo Brigade is here, what else are we worried about?"
"His Excellency Nobute Sakata once thought so."
"you……"
Kengoro Matsushima was choked.
Yoshizawa's words made him feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it.
Indeed, the demise of the Sakata United team was a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army. You must know that it was a top-notch full-scale gang!
No one knows how it completely destroyed its army. How many Eighth Route Army sieges it suffered?
Thirty thousand or fifty thousand? It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army has transferred all the main forces to the top.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to eat Sakata United.
The superiors did not report it, but repeatedly ordered the spread of rumors.
However, there are no airtight walls in the world.
If a full gang is destroyed, news will leak out.
As everyone guessed, it felt more and more strange.
Second Lieutenant Nakajima said: "Yizawa, don't worry, there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army around us. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is heading east."
"Don't forget that there is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army near us."
"It's just a group. Why worry? They are definitely not Sudoko's opponents."
"I'm sorry, I'm not as optimistic as you. I believe that once Sudo's whereabouts are exposed, all the Eighth Route Army troops will come quickly."
"When they arrive, we have established complete fortifications around Shibalipu. There is also tactical guidance from the aviation force, so don't be afraid."
Kengoro Matsushima was very satisfied with the statement of Lieutenant Nakajima.
That's right, that's it.
Their purpose is to bloom in the center.
This is a temporary plan adjustment from Taiyuan. The follow-up plan is unclear. However, the first step in the plan is to keep the Sudo Brigade in danger.
As long as the Sudo Brigade firmly wedged a nail deep in the Taihang Mountains, it would make the Eighth Route Army very uncomfortable. From then on, the areas around Shibalipu will become the forbidden area of the Eighth Route Army. They had to take a detour.
It would be even better if the Eighth Route Army tried to fight the Japanese army here.
The Japanese army can gather more troops to fight the Eighth Route Army here.
The Japanese army has never lost in the battle head-on.
Um...
Except for Sakata United...
"Yizawa Jun, the Eighth Route Army next to us has extremely poor combat effectiveness." Kengoro Matsushima said disdainfully, "Their shooting skills are too ordinary."
He paused slightly, and he continued, "The condescending shooting was not dead. There were only twenty warriors of the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army. Do you think you need to worry about such an Eighth Route Army?"
Second Ensign Nakajima nodded and then said, "Yes, we can even consider fighting back against the Eighth Route Army tonight."
"Yo Xi!" said Kengoro Matsushima, "I'm just thinking."
Lieutenant Yoshizawa frowned quietly.
He always felt that things were not that simple. The Eighth Route Army was not that easy to deal with.
Chapter completed!
