Chapter 369 Little Butterfly
The reason why the battlefield was in a state of anxiety in the Songhu army was largely due to the German-Armed Division fighting to the death, and the ground-to-air firepower formed by the battle experts like Matsui Ishien, counting money to airplanes.
Still suffering a great loss in front of the German and military masters.
He Guoguang's report misled the Japanese army. He only considered that the artillery and tanks were difficult for the Central Army's German-Armed Division to enter Sichuan, so he did not mention the heavy weapons compared with the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army.
The Japanese obviously regarded the Sixty-Sixth Division as the standard equipment for the National Army's Ethnic Armored Division.
The follow-up telegram from Kenji Doihara and Ryosuke Isoko is still sending.
Both of them repeatedly reminded Itagaki not to underestimate the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army. The report said that they had more than two years of high-intensity training, good equipment and richness, and they must treat him as the top Chinese army to fight.
Some of the situations of the 66th Division were constantly summarized at the Fifth Division Command, and Seishiro Itagaki hurriedly sent them to the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army Soichi Tezuka.
The German Ordnance Army, which has more than 50,000 people, has been attached unprecedented importance to the North China Front Army.
They confirmed the source of the information again and checked the original report of He Guoguang. The report was very simple. Even if the Wu Qiwei Column changed his clothes and had full set of German weapons, he could not defeat the 66th Division.
It was very difficult for He Guoguang to enter Sichuan without writing heavy weapons. Especially when he was fighting with the Sichuan army, the waterway was blocked. He bluntly pointed out in the report that the 66th Division could invade three to five German divisions that could enter Sichuan.
Kenji Doihara also submitted a report to He Guoguang himself, proving that this person is a practical talent in the government, with a precise vision and a very strategic one.
The Sichuan Army is here, and the Fist Legion of the Sixty-Sixth Division is the leader.
Behind the 66th Division was also Deng Xihou's 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army.
It is only about ten days away.
It was the two armies of Sichuan warlord Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, a total of 122 Divisions, 123 Divisions, 1244 Divisions, 126 Divisions, 126 Divisions and five divisions heading to Shanxi.
Once these two heavy troops enter Shanxi, Xinkou cannot make a breakthrough immediately.
The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire was frustrated on the roof of North China, and the entire battlefield of North China would be like Songhu, and would immediately fall into anxiety.
After the war in Shanghai began, the base camp focused its attack on East China.
The Sixth Division, the Sixteenth Division retreated to Jeju Island to form the 10th Japanese Army.
At present, the five divisions of the entire North China are at ease, including the Fifth Division, the 20th Division, the 108th Division, and the 109th Division, but it is hard to say that the Sichuan Army and the German Army Corps have come up.
Songhu is preferred, and the garrison brigades that Tianjin has been marshaling have not arrived, and all of them have stagnated.
Even the elite 6th Division in Baoding and the 16th Division that landed in Pingjin were both incorporated into the 10th Army and transferred to the East China battlefield. At the same time, the Fifth Division was ordered to take Taiyuan as soon as possible, and at least one brigade was drawn to form a detachment and temporarily incorporated into the 10th Army.
When the Sichuan Army left Sichuan, the commander of the North China Front Army Soichi Desunari found out that his subordinates, Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the 5th Division, Fumisaburo Kawakishi, and the commander of the 10th Division, Risuke Isoguchi, were both very frustrated with the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army.
Even knowing the courage of the Japanese army, Seishiro Itagaki lost to Feng Tiankui for deduction.
When I was a diplomat in China, Izumi Rika lost one million oceans in Yongzhou.
Kenji Doihara and Fumisaburo Kawakishi were actually clamored by two little grasshoppers in the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army in Peking.
Feng Tiankui has good command capabilities on the battlefield. With the well-equipped 88th Division, it is probably a nightmare for the existing deployment of troops on the Shanxi battlefield.
If it is not done well, it will be another Songhu, and the two sides will be anxious and continue to increase their troops.
The Japanese North China Front Army attached unprecedented importance to it, dispatched troops and generals, and removed the old subordinate Nakamura brigade from Itagaki from the Kwantung Army to Shijiazhuang, and asked the 20th Division to immediately transfer all the troops left by North Korea to North China.
Immediately asked Itagaki to coordinate the entire Shanxi battlefield. In addition to the flanking attack on Niangzi Pass and support Shanxi, the 20th Division heading south along Pinghan Road immediately occupied Shijiazhuang, Jingxing, and the Fifteenth Mixed Brigade, which was originally planned to stay in southern Baoding, and the 15th Mixed Brigade, which had just been organized in Tianjin and was about to be stationed in Shanxi to garrison, and the Xiyang Brigade of the 109th Division, attacked Niangzi Pass fiercely.
After entering Shanxi, he was under the leadership of Seishiro Itagaki.
Fumisaburo Kawakishiki received the telegram from Itagaki and happily accepted the order. It was the Sichuan Army, the 66th Division, who proposed to fight him in Peking, making the officers of the Great Japanese Empire ugly in Peking, and made him a bastard army scolded by the telegram from the base camp.
Jiang Jieshi, the commander of the War Zone 1, took office as commander of the War Zone 3, and handed over the War Zone 1 to Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi was under his command, all of whom were recruited by the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army.
He sent three divisions of Feng Qinzai to garrison the well path and the position was not built, but he encountered a joint attack from ground-air firepower.
Although the Japanese infantry equipment was useless, the artillery was quite promising.
The 20th Division is one of the seventeen permanent A-level divisions of the Japanese army. It is code-named Korea. After the permanent garrison is organized, it is designated as a Korean station. The troops are from Kyoto and their combat power is not as good as the top seven divisions. However, it is still one of the seventeen most elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army.
It has two brigades under its jurisdiction, seventy-seven, seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty, four infantry corps, twenty-sixth field artillery corps, twenty-eighth cavalry corps, as well as an engineer corps and a baggage corps.
Unfortunately, the 20th Division was not fully organized, and they had a complete number. They were all drawn from the North Korean left-behind areas and added some of the security veterans sent by the Kwantung Army. The number of people was not 10,000 people that Yan Xishan asked about, but nearly 20,000 people.
Although the division's artillery corps were temporarily used for 48 pieces of artillery, the old Japanese had many artillery, especially the Type 41 mountain cannons, plus the corps there were more than 40, and eight 105-caliber Type 38 field cannons.
Although it ranks low among the seventeen permanent divisions, it is definitely not the second-rate Japanese division that Yan Laoxi believes.
Part of the 109th Division was left behind in Pingjin, and only two corpses from the Xiyang Brigade were coming.
The Fifth Mixed Brigade, the Fifteenth Mixed Brigade, two newly formed guard troops, are not in a hurry to expand the garrison division, and the coefficients are opened.
Fumisaburo Kawakishiki, who held a heavy army group, was unwilling to head south along the Pinghan Railway as planned. He used the land aviation aircraft from Pingjin and Yangming Fort to rush to the Niangziguan battlefield at the junction of the Second World War Zone and the First World War Zone within three days.
Zhou Xiaoshan knew the establishment of the 20th Division. Pingjin did not kill this old devil. Shanxi met his enemies again, so he was so familiar with them.
What he didn't know was that when the 20th Division entered Shanxi, two mixed brigades were strengthened on the battlefield in southeastern Shanxi, one of the Kwantung Army Infantry Brigade, and one of the 109th Division.
A total of five elite brigades.
The number of Japanese troops participating in the war reached more than 50,000, exceeding the total number of owners of the Sixty-sixth Division.
Compared with history, it is a big mess.
After entering Shanxi, Feng Tiankui was in charge of Zhou Xiaoshan's suggestion and was very kind. In order to prevent the Japanese sharpshooters from targeting officers, all officers above major removed their ranks and put on the sleeves of the supervising team on their hands. The sleeves had a special pocket, and the removed rank would not be lost even if they ran and jumped.
"Xiaoshan, half a year ago, you went to Shanxi to inspect the terrain. Have you been to Niangzi Pass?"
"Yes, not only Niangziguan, but also Gu'an?"
Chu Tianshu exclaimed, and several senior generals of the Sixty-sixth Division thought Zhou Xiaoshan was very magical. He seemed to have the ability to predict the uncertainty and even admired the accurate judgment of the current situation.
Even Qi Jun, who was a major staff officer in the 122 Brigade, and more than a dozen officers of the 122 Brigade, visited Gu'an.
"My God, you frowned and your face was so ugly. Is there no danger to guard?"
"Don't be too nervous. Where is the terrain in Gu'an? It's a good terrain. It's an intersection with the Taihang Mountains around it. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a ravine three kilometers outside the town, which can hide the horses, cars, baggage we bring, and there are several places around that can rely on our power. What I worry most is that we have entered the Japanese nest?"
"What are you afraid of in the Japanese nest? Come on one, I will kill one, come on a pair, I will kill one!"
