Chapter 536 War Game Deduction(1/2)
If you have the third place, you are not polite, so you can pick up two war games and put them on the sand table.
"Two regiments?" Seeing the two war games that Yu Jing San made, Ogito Miji smiled, "Yu Mo Jun, are you kidding?"
There are three words of the last spirit: "Why did your Excellency the Chief of Staff say this?"
Miji Ogito said: "Although I have just come to the North China Front Army for less than two days, I have also learned about the Eighth Route Army in North China. I know that although the 386th Brigade is nominally just a brigade, its strength is actually not much different than that of a group of troops of the National Army. So are you a little too stingy?"
There is a so-so three saying: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff thinks that two regiments are not enough?"
"Of course not enough." Ogito Mijido, "How many days can the two groups stand?"
"Chief of Staff, don't be anxious." Youmo Jingsan smiled and used a long wooden pole to push the two war chess to two positions.
After seeing the two locations clearly, Miji Ogito's face collapsed because they were two major transportation routes, and the Eighth Route Army only needed a small amount of troops to block the way.
You Mo Jingsan pointed at these two must-have mouths and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, one of these two important traffic roads is called Pig Shoukou and the other is called Wild Boar Gully, which is the most important place in northwest Shanxi."
"Northwest Shanxi is a typical Loess Plateau terrain. On the surface, it looks like a huge plain with little ups and downs."
"But for thousands of years, rain has been eroding, and countless gullies have emerged on the plain, and there are small gullies in the large gullies, cutting the entire plateau into pieces."
"These ravines are like mazes, and they are easily lost."
"More than two years ago, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which went south to reinforce the Henan battlefield, got lost in it, and was eventually surrounded by the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army and completely wiped out."
Speaking of this, Ai Jingsan smiled and said, "Get back to the point."
"If the bandit area in northwestern Shanxi is compared to a huge mystery palace, then the pig-killing mouth is the southern entrance of the mystery palace, and the wild boar ditch is the northern entrance of the mystery palace."
“The terrain of these two entrances is very narrow.”
"There can only be a maximum of two squadrons on the front of the battlefield."
He paused again and said, "So, a regiment of the 386th Brigade is enough to guard an entrance."
Ogito Hiroji turned his eyes to Okamura Yasuji and asked, "Great General, is the terrain of northwest Shanxi really as dangerous as the Mokun said?"
"Yes." Okamura Yanji nodded and said, "Maybe even more dangerous than what Arimo Jun said."
"Is it really true?" Ogito Kuraji turned his eyes back to Aimo Jing San and frowned, "The terrain in northwest Shanxi is so dangerous that it cannot be effective with too many soldiers. Why did you just propose to use 11 divisions to participate in the sweep? Isn't it a waste of troops?"
"That's another problem," Youmo Jingjue said, "We're only deducing now."
"Okay." Miji Ogoto snorted coldly, "I don't need to independently fight the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, so as not to say that I bully you, and I don't need the aviation force of the 3rd Flying Division to assist in the war. I only use the 1st Field Artillery Regiment and the 28th Mountain Artillery Regiment to shell you."
"Taking the 28th Mountain Artillery Regiment as the reference standard."
"A fifteen minutes of gang-level firepower projection can destroy at least 60% of the surface positions and cause about 30% of casualties and firepower losses."
"You put a battalion of troops on the first line of defense to kill pig mouth."
"After the shelling was over, there were only two companies of troops and firepower left."
"I took two chariot squads as the leading guide to cover the two infantry squadrons to launch an assault."
"According to the actual combat effectiveness of both sides of the war, the Imperial Army can completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army, which is the first line of defense, if it loses an infantry squadron and a chariot squad."
Speaking of this, Miji Ogito was about to sweep away the Eighth Route Army chess placed at the mouth of the pig.
"Wait." Ao Jingsan held Miji Ogito's hand and took a wooden pole to push the Eighth Route Army artillery that was originally placed behind the pig's mouth to the front.
Then he smiled and said, "His Chief of Staff, your attacking force was ambushed, all the chariots of the chariot squad were destroyed by our artillery, and the two infantry squadrons that were put into the attack were also shot by dense heavy machine gun fire. At most, your attacking force would be wiped out."
Speaking of this, sweep away the chess pieces that were put into the attack.
"What?" Ogito Miji said furiously, "What are you kidding!"
After a pause, Ogito Miji turned his head and said to Okamura Yiji: "Grandmaster, if Mo Jun cheats, his artillery troops will never survive the firepower projection of our Yama Artillery Corps. And he has only one battalion on the first line of defense. Where did so many heavy machine gun firepower come from?"
But Okamura Yasuji said, "Let's listen to what Aimo-kun said?"
Atsushi Mitsu smiled and said to Ogito Miji: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the so-called "Soldier" is a matter of deception. I actually concealed an important information from you just now."
While saying that, You Jingsan took a wooden pole and poked a small eye on the well-made sand table.
Then he pointed to the little eye that had just been stabbed and said, "We are actually building tunnels in the Pig Killing Mouth, and it is not one or several simple tunnels, but an underground transportation network with all connections and like a spider web. Our troops and firepower can be quickly deployed to any location through this transportation network."
He paused and said, "Of course, this authentic network can also provide perfect protection for our troops and firepower. Therefore, the fifteen-minute firepower projection of the 28th Mountain Artillery Regiment and the 1st Field Artillery Regiment just now can be said to have minimal damage to our personnel and firepower."
"Ah..." Ogito Sanji was stunned.
Officers at all levels around also smiled kindly.
The staff and the workers just arrived, but I didn't know that the 386th Brigade was a group of rats.
After a while, Ogito Sanji finally came to his senses and said, "Okay, the huge spider-web-like underground transportation network you said exists. That doesn't matter. We have engineers. I will use engineers to blast the tunnel entrances on both sides of the pig's mouth under the cover of artillery and chariots."
While speaking, Miji Ogito pushed the 28th Engineer Regiment to the Pig Killing Mouth.
The expression of the So Jing San finally became solemn, because although the engineer's blasting tactics were advanced very slowly, they were effective. So far, he had not thought of a countermeasure tactic.
The Hebei Central Military Region, which had previously swept the Eighth Route Army, also used the tactic of engineer blasting.
Miji Ogito also pushed the chariot troops to the slaughter mouth and said, "I will steadily and push only more than ten meters at a time. In this way, your side firepower will be difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Imperial Army's chariots and engineers, and the Imperial Army's engineers can successively blast the authentic fortifications within the attack range under the cover of the chariots."
Faced with the step-by-step approach of Ogito Miji, the Shoujin San could only organize the suicide squad to explode.
Miji Ogito originally thought that with his absolute advantage in military strength and armored vehicles, the 1st Division and the 28th Division would break through the defense line of the Pig Killing Mouth and Wild Boar Grotto without any suspense, and it was nothing more than spending more time.
But half an hour later, the battle situation showed a change that surprised Mizhi Ogito.
When another chariot squad was counterattacked by the Eighth Route Army and destroyed, Ogito Miji subconsciously wanted to join another chariot squad and continue to cover the engineers for blasting, he was surprised to find that the entire chariot squad that was fighting in conjunction with the 28th Division had no armored vehicles or tanks.
"How is this possible?" Ogoto Miji was a little unbelievable.
"Why is this impossible?" said Mo Jingsan. "If the Imperial Army's chariot troops want to carry out blasting, they must enter the canyon. The terrain in the canyon is relatively narrow. The Eighth Route Army's suicide squad only needs to attack more than ten meters forward to send the explosive pack to the bottom of the armored vehicle."
He paused and said, "On average, two suicide squadrons can blow up a tank or armored vehicle, and the two squadrons of war vehicles will consume 60 suicide squadrons and more than 100 of us."
Miji Ogito: "According to the rules of wargame deduction, this calculation is indeed correct, but in fact it is not. After all, people are flesh and blood, not machines. I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army can organize 60 suicide squads. After all the suicide squads in front exploded, the suicide squads behind still have the courage to continue launching self-destructive attacks."
After a pause, Ogito Miji said again: "No army in this world can organize so many suicide squads and continuously launch self-destructive attacks. The imperial army cannot do it. Moreover, even if it can, no commander will be stupid enough to do this, because in any army, the quality of soldiers is of varying quality. Soldiers who have the courage to launch self-destructive attacks are killed in large numbers, and most of the remaining soldiers who do not have the courage to self-destructive attacks will collapse."
The expression of Mo Jing San became cold and said, "Your Chief of Staff thinks that the Eighth Route Army cannot do it because it lacks enough understanding of them. If you have fought with them, you will never think so."
Ogito Miji's eyes turned to Okamura Yasuji: "What do you think, General?"
Okamura Yasuji said: "Since this is the deduction rules, then follow the rules."
"Okay." Ogodo Miji could only accept the fact that the attack of two divisions was blocked.
Fortunately, there were four divisions participating in the battle, in addition to the 1st Division and the 28th Division, there were also the 71st and 72nd Divisions. At that time, Miji Dachengho put the other two divisions on the sand table.
The attack of pig slaughtering and wild boar treatment was blocked, so the three treatments of the Dachengdu can only choose two other directions.
Fortunately, from the sand table, there are actually four channels to enter northwest Shanxi. In addition to the Tongpu Railway or Tongdan Road that crosses the northwest Shanxi Plateau, it is the highway from Fu'an to Shuiquan County, and the highway from Heyuan County through Xijikou to Yangquan County.
The road conditions of the latter two highways cannot be compared with the same dandelion, but they can also be opened to traffic.
At that moment, Mizhi of Oichiro put the other two divisions on the sand table and said, "I will use the 71st Division to Shuiquan, the 72nd Division to Yangquan, and then advance along the highway to Fu'an and Heyuan."
Youmo Jingsan immediately picked up two war chess and placed them on the sand table.
Youmo Jingsan continued to explain: "We have underground intelligence networks in Suwon and Yangquan, and our intelligence personnel are all over the villages and towns along the way. Therefore, the Imperial Army had just completed the assembly and had not yet left Yangquan County and Shuicu County, our army had already received the news and made arrangements in advance."
While talking, there was the Miao Jing San pushing the war chess forward.
In the end, these two war games were pushed to a specific position.
"Wild Wolf Valley, Xijikou?" Miji Ogito's face collapsed again.
Because from the sand table, the terrain of these two blocking points is also very unfriendly to the Imperial Army.
"Yes, Yelang Valley has Xijikou." Youmo Jingsan said with a smile, "These are also two canyons. The terrain is not much different from the Pig Killing Mouth and Wild Boar Valley."
The premonition of Ogito Miji was soon fulfilled.
In the following deductions, the offenses of the 71st Division and the 72nd Division were once again frustrated.
What made Ogito Sanzhi even more depressed was that he only used two groups of medicinal sect.
So far, the three of the Mo Jing have used four regiments to block the four divisions of the Imperial Army in Yezhugou, Sharp Pigkou, Yelang Valley and Xijikou.
But at this time, Omego Miji's temper also rose.
At present, the three major cities and households launched a strong attack from four directions according to the standard process.
The Matsumizu did not give in at all. With the help of favorable terrain, he fought a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Miji Ogito. The troops and materials of both sides were consumed at an astonishing speed.
But the Japanese army consumed faster.
A month passed quickly.
At this time, a scene that shocked Ogito Sanji.
After a month of fierce fighting, the Japanese army participated in the war had consumed combat supplies from four divisions and suffered more than 20,000 casualties, but the Eighth Route Army actually destroyed four regiments.
It was just crippled because the Eighth Route Army controlled the battlefield from beginning to end, with many injuries, but few casualties.
Not only that, the Three Essence Three even invested eight regiments and launched a fierce and fierce counterattack at night, pushing the front back to its initial state, leaving four regiments behind, and then the battle situation began a new cycle, and the four Japanese divisions pushed forward from the origin bit by bit.
Because the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army are all civil fortifications.
Civil fortifications are relatively easy to destroy, but repairs are also relatively easy to do.
To be continued...
