The responsibility for defeat is best to put it on the intelligence department. The temporary conference room was in an uproar again, and Fumisaburo Kawakishiro suppressed the officers' discussion.

"In addition, the first level of the brigade of the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army, there are direct artillery battalions and artillery regiments, a direct artillery battalion with fifty German GrW34 mortars with a range of more than 2,000 meters and an ultra-high rate of fire reached twenty-five rounds per minute. If an artillery battle occurs, the first-level infantry squirting cannons of our corps are not an opponent at all. The 66th Division is even at the level of the division and brigade, equipped with an air defense heavy machine gun battalion, using Browning's large-caliber M2 heavy machine gun, Erickon 20mm machine gun, 37th war anti-aircraft gun, Ishida Zeichiro sent a telegram back. The opponent's attack organization is very experienced. This brigade commander Chu Tianshu is definitely not a mediocre player. The firepower organization of the entire Sichuan Army's 66th Division is also very distinctive. Yesterday, he shot down one of our road-air fighters in Majiapo, and the other two aircraft fell on the way back due to damage to the battlefield."

This kind of firepower configuration is not surprising in China, except for Italian mortars, M2s, and German equipment engineers.

The ordnances told by several universities in the Japanese Army are common ordnances on the Asian battlefield, mainly based on the country and supplemented by China. They still lack understanding of the ordnances of other countries, and officers have no idea about Italian mortars.

Fumisaburo Kawakishi took out the information map of the airdrop of the plane and explained the data of these two firepowers to the officers in detail.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

It turns out that the Sichuan Army is not inferior to the number of troops in one division. It is based on German equipment and is combined with some American equipment with dense firepower?

At the same time, the information coming from Xi'an and the Second World War Zone was not accurate.

The Sixty-Sixth Division hid a hand at the National Government and even the intelligence department was deceived.

The 15th Brigade and the defenders of Majiapo were both attacked by 37 war defense artillery.

Majiapo's bunker and the brigade-level artillery of the 15th mixed brigade were defeated.

In addition, the aircraft lost by Majiapo was not only destroyed by the M2, the 12-caliber ammunition, but also the 66th Division also had 20mm Olikon machine guns to form a medium and low-altitude air defense fire net.

Such an opponent is not just a division's number, but according to the composition of the Jinsui Army or the Northwest Army, it is at least a corps of five divisions.

"In order to clearly verify the equipment of the 66th Division of the 15th Mixed Brigade, the Great Japanese Empire Situation Department, and the great efforts made. The 15th Brigade and the broken defenders of Majiapo once again remind us that there is a cruel opponent in front of us and must not be treated as other squadrons and troops. Now it is time for our 20th Division to contribute to the glory of the Empire."

So many military pictures and data circulated.

Seeing the officers changing their disapproving expressions when they entered the conference room, Fumisaburo Kawakishi felt relieved.

It was the first time I met such a powerful Chinese army in the battlefield in North China, so I must not take it lightly.

"The 122nd Brigade was chosen as the attack direction, not only because Chu Tianshu and Zhou Xiaoshan once humiliated our Japanese Imperial Army soldiers in Peking for the combat power of the battle with cold weapons and bayonets, but more because these two men used cunning and unpredictable military service. The 122nd Brigade of the Sichuan Army was the sharpest blade in Feng Tiankui's hand of the 66th Division. If you knock him out, you can paralyze more than half of the combat power of the 66th Division. If you occupy Gu'an, you can open a gap in the Eastern Front battlefield. You can attack Majiapo to the south and threaten Taiyuan to the west, resulting in the great defeat of the Chinese army in the Shanxi battlefield."

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

He looked at all the officers nodded and expressed his solemnly.

Fumisaburo Kawakishiki is very satisfied with the unified combat goal of the entire division and the next step is to continue making arrangements.

"The commander of the Ishida Brigade is cautious in his use of troops and can defeat the 15th Mixed Brigade. He reminds us again that he is a very cunning opponent. The 122nd Brigade is in close cooperation with the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party. After defeating the 15th Mixed Brigade, he actually used the word "ignorance" to the Second World War Zone. This is a shame for our soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Avenge your shame and destroy the first, second and second brigades!"

"Let the 122nd Brigade become our military achievements!"

"Even if the Sichuan Army is equipped with light weapons strong enough, it is only worthy of being a stepping stone for us to conquer China in front of our 20th Division artillery!"

As a soldier, you need morale. The crowd in the conference room was angry. Fumisaburo Kawakishi nodded with satisfaction.

"The Sichuan Army is not only brave and tenacious, but well-trained. Through the battle of the 15th Mixed Brigade, it is not difficult to see that they are good at choosing battlefields on the road of the Imperial Army. They have strong initiative and concealment. When they go to Gu'an, both sides of the road may become battlefields at any time. It is time for you to contribute your wisdom to the empire."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. On the way to attack Gu'an, you may encounter ambush at any time.

The combat staff lifted the front army out of the southeastern Shanxi terrain sand table made of the surveyed and mapped terrain in Shanxi.

Focus on several mountain passes that the Sichuan Army may have attacked or ambushed.

The Japanese officer heard it carefully.

The 66th Division of the Sichuan Army must not be equated with other units of the Chinese army, and there must be a complete plan.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, can you contact Luhang to escort my 20th Division throughout the journey?"

"The commander of the Itagaki Division thought that he had ordered the stop of the attack on Xinkou battlefield tomorrow, and all Japanese aircraft in Yangming Fort will be under the command of our 20th Division."

That's great, almost all the old Japanese were relieved.

"Grand Commander, I suggest that tomorrow the Cavalry Brigade will be in the back, and our 39th Brigade will be willing to be the infantry vanguard. When the division is driving in, we will send one or two brigades to the hills on both sides of the left and right wings of the highway to lightly investigate and cover."

Looking at Yamashita Tomoto's suggestion, he frequently received praise from Fumisaburo Kawaki, and Yoshito Takagi from the 39th Brigade was not willing to be lonely.

"His division commander, what's going on now in the 15th mixed brigade?"

"After this 122nd brigade, the 15th Mixed Brigade was forced into a canyon, it simply guarded the gate of the canyon, secretly buried landmines, and was preparing to trap and starve the remaining troops of the 15th Mixed Brigade to death. They now have less than two brigades of troops, including food, supplies, and artillery, and they can not even maintain a gun. An hour ago, the organization rushed once, fell into the dense firepower composed of mine arrays and machine guns, and retreated to the canyon for comprehensive defense."

"That is, they're not going to last for three days?"

"There is water source in the canyon, which can last for at most five to six days!"

"I suggest that tonight, the Forty Brigade will send two squadrons of warriors to investigate and advance along the roads in Gu'an Town."

Fumisaburo Kawakita smiled with satisfaction and agreed to Yamashita's suggestion.

Not only that, Fumisaburo Kawakishi also found the killer weapon for the Japanese attack.

He ordered Li Dengxing to walk in a group, lightly and simply walk along a mountain road, circled around and penetrated directly behind Yi and Er Er.

The Japanese military division meeting has not ended yet.

In Gu'an Town, except for the First Guard of Yongzhou Guard Brigade, two companies left behind to take care of horses and cars on the front line.

The Left-Back Observer of the Eighth Route Army was responsible for Gu'an's vigilance.

Zhou Xiaoshan and Chu Tianshu didn't expect that Fumisaburo Kawakishiki, this old devil, would attach so much importance to him.

Chang Desheng was a little confused. How could this bastard be so confident about fighting the 20th Division?

The entire brigade of the 122nd Brigade was dispatched, and the direct company, the engineering battalion, and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army drove thirty cars from the Japanese army, dragged the six captured Type 92 infantry artillery, and advanced towards the 20th Division.
