Chapter 982: The "Wolf" Plan
The devil commander Taro Sano strode into the room of the temporary war room, and the devil officers stood up when they heard the sound, and their neat and uniform movements revealed a sense of slaughter.
Taro Sano walked to the main seat and stopped, his face serious, his eyes glancing around the faces of these unruly officers, and nodding with satisfaction.
Although the troops transferred this time were all baggage and supplementary troops, these well-trained officers still maintained a steely military style, which made him very satisfied.
"Sit-"
Commander Taro Sano pressed down with his hands and motioned for the devil officers to sit down.
The devil officers bowed heavily and sat down immediately, although they were sitting, they still straightened up, and their faces were extremely serious.
The military literacy of the devil officers was very good, and everyone was sitting in a precarious position, except for those steaming kettles, the entire war room was silent.
"Tell you about the latest information we have."
Taro Sano, the commander of the devils, broke the silence by waving his hand at the intelligence staff officer standing next to him.
"Hey!"
The intelligence staff officer, who had already been prepared, bowed in response, and immediately opened the document in his hand.
"According to intelligence, the troops of the Chinese Army were dispersed and evacuated after the Battle of Gaoyou, and it has now been ascertained that they have regrouped, of which the Sulu Guerrilla Corps is gathered in Taizhou and Dongtai, and the 89th Army is in Xinghua, and the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is ...... in the vicinity of the boundary north of Gaoyou."
Among them, there were more than 5,000 enemies gathered in Xinghua, about four battalions of the enemy at the head of the border, two guerrilla regiments in Dongtai, five guerrilla regiments in Taizhou, and one guerrilla battalion in Fanchuan Town...... There is also a ...... of the New Fourth Army"
Although the Sano detachment did not conduct large-scale military operations after the capture of Takayou, their intelligence department was not idle, and almost non-stop and efficient operation carried out intelligence work.
The devil's intelligence department has long planted countless spy agents everywhere, and now there are a large number of traitors to provide them with intelligence.
Therefore, it took almost no effort to find out the situation of the Chinese garrisons everywhere, except for the numbers, strength and firepower of the Chinese troops.
The intelligence department of the devil soldiers even listed the list of all Chinese officers at or above the battalion level, including Yang Ling and the blacksmith's combat resume.
It has to be said that the intelligence department of the devil soldiers is conscientious, and their pervasive spying has made the Chinese troops have almost no secrets to speak of, and the devils have done a good job of secrecy, often leaving many Chinese troops confused.
Sometimes the Chinese troops fought with the devils for several days, and even confused and did not know the number of the devil soldiers on the other side, but the devils knew the Chinese army well.
In this situation of asymmetrical intelligence, the devil soldiers can advance and retreat freely in every attack, while the Chinese troops are passive everywhere.
And this time is no different, after these days of reconnaissance by the intelligence services, Taro Sano already knows all about the various Chinese military assembly sites, and now he is just waiting for action.
The devil officers who sat in the precarious position all had serious faces, and listened carefully to the information obtained by the intelligence department about the various Chinese troops, which was already a habit they had before the war.
Taro Sano did not launch a large-scale pursuit operation after the capture of Takuyou, because he was not familiar with the terrain, and it was not easy to catch the scattered and evacuated Chinese troops.
And now that the scattered Chinese troops have gathered again, this has become his chance, and he is ready to come to a thunderous sweep to wipe out the Chinese army in this area.
"The Chinese army has let its guard down and is gathering together again, our fighters have arrived, and I have decided to attack! I also hope that you will work together to eliminate the Chinese army and occupy the entire territory of Jiangsu! β
The devil commander Taro Sanno waited until the intelligence staff officer finished speaking, his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light like a beast, and his sonorous and powerful voice made all the devil officers boil with blood!
"Hey!"
The ghost-fanatical sub-officers had long been eager for war, and when they heard that Taro Sano had finally announced an attack, they were eager to pounce on it with their troops now.
"Takahashi-sanβ"
"Hey!"
A stout devil stood up in response, with an irrepressible look of excitement on his face.
"The combat target of your brigade is the troops of the Zhina Army in Dongtai, and you must annihilate the Zhina Army in Dongtai! I don't want Dongtai to have a living Chinese army! β
"Hey!"
Captain Takahashi bowed heavily, a fierce look flashed on his face, he was ready to kill.
"Yoshino-san, the combat target of your brigade is Tai County, and you can occupy Tai County in two days, can you do it?"
"Detachment leader, rest assured, my brigade will not disgrace the prestige of the imperial soldiers!"
Taro Sano nodded, and then turned his gaze to a tall and thin young man on the left.
"Pingshan Sang, the guerrillas of Northern Jiangsu at the head of the world will be handed over to you, and you must wash away the shame of the annihilation of the Jiangfang troops!" Taro Sano said through gritted teeth.
The tall and thin devil Shaozo Pingshan Jing looked sharply, bowed his head and promised: "I will use the head of the commander of the Chinese Army to pay tribute to the fallen officers and soldiers!"
"According to the intelligence, Xinghua is the location of the deputy headquarters of the China Theater of Operations, and there will be a cavalry brigade to launch a surprise attack on it, and I want to capture the commander of the China Army alive......"
The devil commander Taro Sano quickly assigned combat missions to his troops, and this time they divided their troops into three directions and went straight to the gathering points of various Chinese troops.
"The operation is codenamed "Wolf" plan, and the time for each unit to attack is the night of December 30, I hope that you will be as swift and fierce as wolves, tear the resistance of the Chinese Army to pieces, and use the knife in your hand to expand the territory of the empire! Taro Sano pulled out his shiny saber and held it high.
"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"
With the sound of a sonorous saber unsheathed, the officers shouted feverishly, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement.
Soon, the excited devil officers rushed out of the war room, and the combat mobilization codenamed "Wolf" was immediately launched.
All the devil soldiers were canceled on vacation, and the devils of each unit began to distribute weapons and ammunition, equip dry food, and actively prepare for the upcoming attack, and there was an atmosphere of solemnity in Gaoyou City.
The ghost soldiers who were still shouting for war a few days ago also returned to the camp one after another, and they finally waited for the battle order, and they couldn't wait to start the attack.
In Sano's battle plan, this was a surprise operation, and the speed of the sortie had to be fast, and it had to be eliminated with thunderous speed before the Chinese army could react.
Therefore, this time, the tank squadron and artillery brigade stayed in Gaoyou, and all the troops attacking from all directions were lightly armed, with the purpose of catching the Chinese army by surprise.
He felt that his paralyzing effect was already manifesting, that the Chinese troops everywhere had not yet noticed their movements, and that the timing he had chosen was delicate, that is, the alternation of the old and new years.
Now the Chongqing government has vigorously advocated a new calendar year that is synchronized with the world, hoping to be in line with international standards, and at this time to launch an attack on the Chinese army, it will definitely be beyond the expectations of the Chinese army, and this time Sano Taro can be described as full of confidence.
