It hurts so much.

That means that he has actually made a decision, and calling him to do it may just be a matter of consensus.

"Okabe-kun, no wonder the Kwantung Army headquarters appreciates you so much. You are very good." Gen Sugami was obviously very satisfied with Saburo Okabe's smart mind and nodded with a smile.

"I approved your battle plan! This time, you will be the first commander of the upcoming Jindong Campaign, responsible for commanding the 18th Division, the 20th Division, the new 21st Division, and the Sakamoto Detachment.

Fight against the enemy.

In addition, you can also command the 108th and 109th Divisions located in the southeast of Shanxi. I personally suggest that if the Chinese troops dispatched are from the southeast of Shanxi, then the place where they gather will be empty of troops. The two divisions can attack with heavy troops.

Kill the people who support you!"

"Hi! Your Excellency, Commander, is wise!" Saburo Okabe was very excited.

"It's just that the 108th and 109th Divisions have been reduced in number several times. Although they have been replenished, their combat strength is slightly weaker..."

Saburo Okabe's words did not mean that he was going to give eye drops to the two second-line divisions. In fact, he was very polite in what he said. If he was telling the truth, it was probably enough for the two second-line divisions to defend the city and the highway.

If it can be used, don't expect them to go to the mountains to suppress it.

"It doesn't matter, I will personally send Xiong Yuan and Yamaoka Shige down. I can forget about the last failure, but if I continue to be passive and sabotage this time and refuse to move forward, it will be in vain for me to be the former Deputy Secretary of the Army.

?" Shan Shanyuan looked gloomy to give reassurance to the chief of staff whom he valued more and more.

Showing off his title of former Army Under-Secretary, it means that even if he cannot kill the heads of two Army Lieutenant Generals, he can still allow them to return to their homeland to retire without having any positions.

There are quite a few generals who belong to Shanshan Yuan's lineage in the Army Ministry. Otherwise, the Battle of Southeast Shanxi was such a defeat. In addition to the criticism of Shanshan Yuan in the government and the public, the army base camp was still calm. It was not like indoors.

That unlucky guy Shroud, SJZ suffered a disastrous defeat and was scolded like a dog by both the government and the public!

General and general may seem to have the same military rank, but their influence is completely different.

"Also, if the main direction of the Chinese attack is really Jindong, then it is best to put them in the plains so that the imperial tanks can exert their maximum power. The Chinese equipment is not good, but the will to resist is not weak. Try to reduce the imperial divisions as much as possible

The loss." Gen Sugami continued to give instructions to Saburo Okabe.

"Then the defenders at Niangziguan and Jingxing..." Saburo Okabe was slightly startled.

"The plan for this battle is top secret. No one should know about it except you and me and Shiro Itagaki of the Fifth Division, including the 18th Division and the newly formed 21st and 20th Divisions that are about to go south." Shirt shirt

Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light and he said faintly.

"This is just like an old Chinese saying: If you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf! If the hunter is reluctant to put out the bait, how can he catch the ferocious prey?"

Saburo Okabe felt a chill in his chest. The general commander in front of him was more ruthless than he imagined. In order to annihilate the enemy who might attack, he even did not hesitate to use thousands of imperial officers and soldiers as bait.

He believed that if he was attacked by a large number of Chinese elites without any preparation, more than 2,000 imperial officers and soldiers would definitely die on the battlefield. And Shanshan Yuan hoped to fight the Chinese army in the plains, which would mean giving up the Niangzi Pass and the

The garrisons in Jingxing and Jingxing were allowed to become the victory of the Chinese.

But it is definitely worth it. There are three divisions and a detachment with a strength of 10,000 people, with a total strength of more than 80,000 people, and the Sakamoto detachment is the core of the Sakamoto Brigade under the Fifth Division, which is the top elite of the North China Front.

As long as the Chinese take the bait, they will never be able to escape the large net that has been set for them, even if they gather more than 100,000 troops.

It is even possible that this was the first time that the Imperial Army used superior forces to encircle and annihilate China's elite army.

There is no chance for the Chinese to have any chance of survival!

The plan of the two scheming Japanese generals was successful. Under absolute confidentiality, China's huge intelligence network deployed in North China was not aware of the "big plan" of the Japanese North China Front.

It was not until the Chinese attack troops gathered from four directions towards the eastern gateway of Shanxi, with their swords pointing at Shimen, that the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters issued a secret order to the three divisions.

The 18th Division will immediately follow the Pinghan Road from the north bank of the Yellow River to attack Shanxi East. The newly formed 21st Division, which has been waiting for orders, will also march towards Shimen via the railway line. The Sakamoto detachment, which has secretly arrived in Yangquan, will also secretly attack the rear flank of Shanxi East.

to.

This can be regarded as being surrounded on all sides. Not to mention that the Chinese army, which is now highly motivated, does not know about it. Even if it knows, I am afraid it will not be so easy to escape.

Unless they immediately abandon all their baggage and enter the depths of the Taihang Mountains with light equipment, can they escape the pursuit of three Japanese divisions?

The answer is, extremely difficult!

Losing all the baggage and heavy equipment would be a heavy blow to any army, not to mention that pure light infantry could not even pass through a mountain pass defended by an infantry squadron.

It can be said that from the moment five infantry divisions and one infantry regiment set foot in the mountainous area of ​​​​Jindong, they have entered a dead land.

Because what they once thought was a secret order had already been placed on the agenda of the Japanese military headquarters.

Just like playing poker, their opponents see a deck of bright cards!

When Saburo Kawagishi's crow mouth received the secret order from the headquarters, Tang Dao also walked to Niangziguan for the first time in his life, a grand pass known as the gateway to eastern Shanxi.

ps: I saw a piece of news on the news today about "a marriage team from Hubei holding bayonets and wearing Japanese military uniforms." Fengyue clicked on it and almost vomited three liters of blood. Fengyue often said: Forgetting history means betrayal! I didn't expect it.

Such a stupid thing that makes people speechless could happen in my hometown. I am really ashamed to drink from the same river with them!
