Chapter 1164 The ambition of the head of the division
"All troops immediately leave the road and concentrate on favorable terrain to defend, reduce the threat of the cavalry to us to the minimum, and then fight to the end!" The desperate young master forced himself to calm down and then ordered loudly.
"Tele to Linfen City, we were attacked by at least one cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army. But we will find a way to fight to the end, ask the air force to quickly arrive at the battlefield, carry out a coverage bombing on the Eighth Route Army that attacked us, and kill them!"
The atmosphere at the Japanese Army Division Command of Linfen City was very heavy.
The phone ringtones, the footsteps of the combat staff walking in, and the scolding of the officers were intertwined, giving people a tense atmosphere before the war came.
"The division commander, the transport troops were urgently powered. They were attacked by the new cavalry unit, and the troops suffered great losses... The road has been launched, and the troops have concentrated their forces to defend based on the favorable terrain around them, and asked the aviation troops to kill quickly!"
Major Fujino's face was very calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Staring at the combat sand table, he ordered: "Contact the aviation force and ask them to send three additional aircraft to reinforce the battlefield!"
"Just as the transportation team said, hurry to the battlefield and carry out a cover bombing of the Eighth Route Army exposed on the battlefield, don't be afraid of accidental injuries!"
"Chief of Staff, did you determine how many troops the New First Regiment has dispatched to kill our transport troops?"
"Hi!" After being trusted more and more by Lieutenant General Fujino, the Chief of Staff became more and more confident and completely became stunning.
Pointing to the sand table, he reported: "Preliminary judgment, the New First Regiment dispatched at least four infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, one air defense battalion, and a total of six battalions!"
"There are at least three infantry battalions on the battlefield, one air defense battalion and one cavalry battalion!"
"According to the combat style of the new first regiment, there will definitely be many troops left to fight aid, and the troops of a battalion will definitely be indispensable!"
Lieutenant General Fujino hesitated for a moment and replied: "In other words, the Xinyi Regiment may have dispatched nearly 5,000 people to ambush our transportation troops!"
"Yes, division commander~" the chief of staff affirmed: "The New First Regiment is different from other Eighth Route Army units. Each main force has seven or eight hundred people, or even more... If we do not make a mistake, the total force dispatched by the New First Regiment directly exceeds five thousand!"
Hearing this, Naruto Fujino did not speak, but quietly fell into deep thought.
Two minutes later, his solemn face slowly became hot, and then he stared at the Chief of Staff and continued to ask: "How many troops are there in our hands that can be transferred now!"
The Chief of Staff pointed to the sand table and replied: "The troops confronting the Eighth Route Army on the front line cannot move!"
"Only the troops near Linfen City can move, with a total of three infantry brigades that are not satisfied with the formation. In addition, two infantry brigades near the battlefield, we can concentrate five infantry brigades that are not satisfied with the formation, nearly 4,000 main forces of the imperial army!"
"In addition, Linfen City can also draw a field artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade to participate in the battle!"
"There are also artillery squadrons. When we were sweeping the new regiment, several direct artillery squadrons of the corps were all left in Linfen City. This time, the division was sufficient, and these four artillery squadrons were mixed into one artillery brigade. We can draw at least two artillery squadrons to participate in the battle!"
Lieutenant General Fujino frowned and listened, his eyes staring at the sand table from beginning to end.
As soon as the Chief of Staff finished speaking, he ordered: "Draw a brigade and a gun squadron and a field gun squadron to guard here!"
"A brigade is equipped with the same number of artillery guarding it!"
"Two brigades near the battlefield gathered my troops and defended these two places for me based on the terrain and position!"
The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and reacted: "I understand~"
"Teacher Commander, you are planning to surround the Eighth Route Army that entered the hinterland of our occupied area here and eat it bit by bit!
"Not bad!" Lieutenant General Fujino said affirmatively.
"We have lost nearly 3,000 imperial troops with the transportation troops plus two thousand new soldiers. We must make the Eighth Route Army pay the price, otherwise the warriors will die with peace of mind even if they die in battle. And this price is the 5,000 Eighth Route Army entering our occupied area..."
The Chief of Staff was not frightened by the division commander's plan, but instead showed a hint of worry: "But, the division commander, except for the four infantry brigades surrounding the 5,000 Eighth Route Army, we only have one infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade to use. This little force enters the encirclement and not only cannot eat the opponent, but will also be killed by the opponent!"
"Stop them first!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied.
"Put them on our plate, and we have the final say on how to eat next!"
The Chief of Staff continued to remind: "But our opponent still has ten battalions of troops!"
"They can draw other troops from the base to reinforce the battlefield, attack front and back, open a gap in our blockade line, and pick up the five thousand people back!"
"It's true, but the remaining imperial army is not vegetarian!" Lieutenant General Fujino answered with a confident look on his face.
"Except for these five thousand people, almost all the remaining troops of the New Regiment were distributed on the front line to play against us. It is impossible for there to be mobile troops. Because, according to intelligence, they only have the main force of fifteen battalions."
"In the last sweep, these fifteen battalions must have suffered a lot. Even if they recovered some strength, they would not meet the pre-war standards!"
"With these troops guarding the front line, the Imperial Army that we arranged on the front line dare not act rashly. However, once these troops are transferred, a gap will appear on their defense line, and our Imperial Army can also seize the opportunity, kill into their base through the gap, loot and retreat quickly!"
"Order, reconnaissance force, intelligence department, keep an eye on the remaining main battalion of the Eighth Route Army. As long as they have any rash moves, the troops we confront them will also move, forcing them not to mobilize troops from the front line!"
The Chief of Staff suddenly realized his mind and replied: "It's true!"
"Second Commander, in this way, the 5,000-Eighth Route Army will be blocked by us in the occupied area of the Imperial Army and put them on our plate!"
Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff thought of the question just now: "General, after blocking these Eighth Route Army, you must eat them as soon as possible!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. Our transport troops carry a large amount of food and ammunition. With ammunition and food, no one knows what conspiracy they will engage in in our encirclement!"
"Not afraid!" Lieutenant General Fujino was still as confident as ever.
"Contact the aviation force, after rushing to the battlefield, in addition to bombing the Eighth Route Army, we also have to blow up all the food and ammunition carried by the transportation troops!"
"Without food and ammunition supplements, coupled with their casualties in the battle, their overall strength will definitely be weakened a lot!"
"After entering this area, one thing we have to do is find them."
"Then dispatch the air force and carry out a devastating air strike on their hiding place!"
"With the cover of the aviation force, all the ground forces need to do is to clean the battlefield. No matter how powerful and cunning the Eighth Route Army is, it will be vulnerable in front of the aviation bomb!"
