Chapter 483: Kill this army
483
In the evening of the same day, Hu Bin drove to Suizhou with his troops, and when he drove about 40 miles away from Xiaogan, Hu Bin and his car drove very slowly, because it had been raining at night, and Hu Bin's car drove very slowly.
The next morning, Hu Bin and the others only walked half the way, and after finding a forest, Hu Bin and his team drove the car into the forest and rested in it.
No one knows when the weather will be fine, if the sky is clear, the devil's reconnaissance plane takes off, it will be a huge threat to his own convoy, and his whereabouts will also be exposed, plus now the artillery has not come up at all, it is estimated that he will not be able to get to Suizhou until the night after tomorrow, and Hu Bin is not in a hurry to rush to Suizhou!
And those devils in Xiaogan, at this time they felt safe, the night before yesterday, Hu Bin's troops did not move, last night, there were snipers dealing with the soldiers on their city wall, killed dozens of them, and there was no action behind, those devil soldiers thought that Hu Bin had no way to take them, so they were relieved a lot.
And after Okamura Ningji in Wuhan learned about the situation last night, he also laughed, he knew that Hu Bin didn't dare to attack, and now what he could fight was a sneak attack, a sneak attack under the city wall, so that the casualties brought to their troops were not large, compared to the previous casualties, dozens of them were not a problem at all for his troops! So at this time, Okamura Ninji was rarely relaxed.
"When will the troops of the Kwantung Army arrive?" Okamura asked.
"It has been raining for the past few days, the speed of the troops marching is relatively slow, in the Shanxi and Henan areas, many railways have been destroyed, they can only rely on their own vehicles to maneuver, it is expected to take about 4 days!" The chief of staff heard. Reported to Okamura Ninji.
"Yo Xi, let them speed up and come to our side as soon as possible, now Hu Bin's troops are still on Xiaogan's side, I'm worried that after a long time, Hu Bin can think of a way to deal with us. If the Kwantung Army comes, we will have enough troops to counter them! Okamura Ninji looked at the chief of staff and said.
"Hey, we've been urging them to come over quickly." The chief of staff nodded and said.
"Did the weather department say when the rain would stop?" Okamura asked again.
"I sent a briefing this morning, and it is expected that it will be about a week or so, and in the next three days, the temperature will drop very much, but for us, it is not a problem. Our troops are well fed. After a week, the sky will be clear, about 10 days or so, and the temperature will rise quickly. The chief of staff continued.
"Yo Xi, just a few days before the weather clears, our troops can maneuver over to attack, and now your staff has come up with a battle plan?" Okamura Ninji looked at the chief of staff and asked.
"Hey, it's been taken out. According to the information we received from Hu Bin, Hu Bin's troops were mainly concentrated in Jingzhou. In the Jingmen and Xiangyang areas, the troops of Hu Bin's six divisions are concentrated, and they are now training, but there are many new recruits. If our troops come through, they won't be able to hold it.
Our plan is to attack Jingzhou first, and Jingzhou, a place that is under control, can go south to attack Linxiang. Kill the troops of Linxiang and prepare us for another attack on Hunan, there are troops of Hu Bin's 3 divisions in these two places, and at this time, if the battle goes well, we can go north, and at the same time mobilize the troops of Xianning to participate in the battle and attack Jingmen.
I think that at this time, Hu Bin's troops will either fight us to the death, or they will retreat to Shaanxi or Henan, and we expect to enter Henan. The chief of staff spoke.
"Well, I guess I entered Henan, can't you stop them?" Okamura asked.
"Probably not, our troops have been fighting for a long time, and maybe by that time, the soldiers are already tired, and a lot of casualties are expected, so at this time, our offensive is also weak.
However, Your Excellency the division commander, we plan to do this, but there is one of the biggest threats here, that is, Hu Bin's elite troops, I don't know what kind of threat they will bring to us, especially our battle line is too long, I am afraid that they will attack our supply line! The chief of staff expressed his concern to Okamura Ninji.
"Baga, now we don't know where this unit is stationed at all, and who the current commander is!" Okamura Ninji also had a headache when he heard the chief of staff talk about this unit.
This unit is quite difficult to deal with, one of their own wings to fight with them in the field, is not an opponent at all, if the two wings fight in the plains, I don't know if they can win, in the face of such a force, they must send a division to be sure to defeat them, but Hu Bin's army will not give themselves a chance to fight a decisive battle at all, they may run away when they encounter danger, which makes him a headache.
"Hey, now we need to think of a way to deal with this army, if we don't deal with this army for a day, our command system, our logistics supply lines, our warehouses, we will arrange a large number of troops to defend, Hu Bin will order this force to attack such a place, this is very dangerous!" The chief of staff nodded and said.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Okamura Ninji looked at him and asked.
"No, we know too little about this force, there is no detailed information at all, we just know that this force was established by Hu Bin, and it is estimated that the current highest commander is also Hu Bin, but we don't know who the people below are.
We don't know about their training mode, their combat mode, and their current battle plan, and we don't even know how to recruit this unit now, but it cannot be denied that this unit is very powerful, and many of Hu Bin's actions were done with this unit. The chief of staff shook his head and said.
"Damn, there's no news at all!" Okamura Ninji heard it and cursed.
"Your Excellency, I have a suggestion!" The chief of staff spoke.
"You say!" Okamura Ninji looked at him and said.
"I think that if we can't kill this force, our operation may face failure, I mean the next battle, especially against Hu Bin's ordinary troops, it is better to deal with this force and find a way to ambush this force.
As long as this unit is killed, I think that the combat effectiveness of Hu Bin's side will be reduced by at least half, or even more, against his ordinary troops, and it is also a recruit unit, we have 2 divisions that are more than enough! The chief of staff spoke.
Okamura Ninji didn't speak when he heard it, the chief of staff saw him like this, knew that he was thinking about this matter, and didn't bother, he was the chief of staff, and he was only responsible for putting forward his own opinions, specific decisions, or under the commander, so now he was also waiting!
"To deal with this force, we have to set up an ambush circle, and we have to make them feel that they have a chance to achieve their goal, do you have a battle plan?" Okamura Ninji asked after thinking about it.
"Yes, when we attacked, we announced that 3 divisions were dispatched, but in fact 2 divisions were dispatched, and each division left an infantry wing, or even a tank wing, hiding in Xiaogan City.
Xiaogan, as a supply depot for our offensive front, announced to the outside world that there was only one wing of troops, I think, at this time, Hu Bin's troops will come over, as long as they come, we will put 2 wings in the city, and 3 wings outside the city, surround them and fight, I think this force will not be able to get out at all.
And our front-line attacking troops can completely slow down their pace, wait for Hu Bin's troops to be killed, and quickly advance will definitely be able to achieve the results we expect! The chief of staff spoke.
"So, to deal with Hu Bin's troops, we have to dispatch 4 infantry wings and 1 chariot wing?" Okamura Ninji spoke.
"Hey, only in this way will we have a chance to kill them, there are fewer people, we may not achieve the desired effect!" The chief of staff nodded and said.
"Yo Xi, you let me think about it, you guys have to come up with a specific plan now, I want to take a look!" Okamura Ninji did not say whether he wanted to do this at this time, and now he needs to consider this matter, considering the advantages and disadvantages of doing so, but he was moved, so he ordered his chief of staff to prepare a detailed plan.
"Hey, we'll send you the plan tomorrow." The chief of staff nodded and said.
"Yo Xi, go, go out for a walk, the Chinese side is about to celebrate the New Year, many Chinese people want to come to Wuhan to buy things, waste, Chinese money is wasted on such useless consumption, our empire canceled the Spring Festival very early, fundamentally put an end to this waste." Okamura Ninji said.
(I wrote about the devil's Spring Festival before.,This is wrong.,Some readers pointed it out.,But I can't change it.,Now I officially apologize to everyone.,Japan,It's true that there are very few people celebrate the Spring Festival!) )
"Hey, Your Excellency Commander is rarely in such an interest today, I want to go out for a walk and relax." The chief of staff nodded and said.
Soon, Gangcun Ningci left the headquarters with his guards, and now in the major streets of Wuhan, although it still looks very tattered, they were all fought at the beginning, but there are still a lot of people, and those people nearby have come to the city to buy things and prepare materials for the New Year.
On the Yan'an side, the deputy commander of Chongqing had just gotten off the plane and returned to Yan'an, where the commander and commander-in-chief greeted him at the airport. (To be continued.) )
