Chapter 12: The Dilemma of Soil and Fertilizer

8.12 Dilemma of soil and fertilizer

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the latest information from the Front Army Headquarters, the famous General Huang Haoran has arrived in Kaifeng a few days ago! Kaifeng is the location of the command structure of the Chinese army besieging us! Huang Haoran suddenly appeared at this time, could it have something to do with our 14th Division taking Lanfeng? ”

As the chief of staff of the Dohihara Division, Sano Tadayoshi Osaku was inevitably influenced by the cunning character of the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara. Chief of Staff www.biquge.info Tadayoshi Sano has always maintained a high level of vigilance at all times.

Therefore, after reading the secret telegram sent by the North China Front, Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano immediately started his association, Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano believed that due to the capture of Lanfeng by the 14th Division, it was very likely to cause a change in the command level of the Chinese army! Huang Haoran should have come to replace Xue Yue in commanding the Chinese army to besiege their 14th Division!

If this really happens, it will be enough to affect the entire battle situation!

The replacement of the supreme commander of an army usually leads to a change in the tactical style of that army! Now that the Tufeiyuan Division has basically figured out Xue Yue's context, if Xue Yue is replaced by Huang Haoran, then it means that the Tufeiyuan Division has to adapt to their opponents from scratch!

If it was other Chinese generals who came to Kaifeng, it would be okay, and the Tufeiyuan Division really didn't take most of the Chinese generals seriously.

But this time it was Huang Haoran who came back, and in the face of this opponent who stepped on the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of Japanese army officers and soldiers, Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano did not dare to be careless.

In the heart of Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano, Xue Yue could only make the Tuhihara Division feel some pressure. And Huang Haoran is an absolutely dangerous opponent!

Such a major issue should be left to His Excellency the division commander to decide!

When Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano said Huang Haoran's name, a hint of frenzy flashed on the face of Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the 14th Division, but he quickly regained his composure.

Since the defeat of the Isoya Division at Taierzhuang, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara would often stand in his division headquarters in a daze at the map of the Taierzhuang area in his hand, constantly deducing the evolution of the battle situation at that time in his mind.

In the end, the commander of the Tufeiyuan Division found that if he and Huang Haoran were allowed to switch positions, he might not be able to lead the Chinese miscellaneous army in the 5th Theater to play the same brilliant results as Huang Haoran!

The commander of the Tufeiyuan Division found that Huang Haoran had a unique style when he fought, and every time he attacked, he was so unexpected! So crazy and deadly!

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara feels that an opponent like Huang Haoran is worthy of admiration!

This is the second time that Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara has expressed his admiration for a general from China!! The first time was when Kenji Dohihara learned from Matsui Ishine that Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School with the first grade.

Jiang Baili is a military adviser to the Wuhan government and has never set foot on the battlefield, so Kenji Dohihara has no chance to compete with Jiang Baili! Luckily, there is still a Huang Haoran in China! This name, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, has heard it from his colleagues countless times recently! Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara felt that Huang Haoran was the opponent he had always dreamed of!

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara knew that many middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army secretly called Huang Haoran "the god of war"! In the eyes of Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, this is actually a manifestation of "fear" and "timidity"!

Especially after the collapse of Ryosuke Isoya's 10th Division, this "fear" of Huang Haoran was actually semi-publicized in the Japanese Army!! Not long ago, General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, openly demanded at a meeting of the North China Front's internal operations that the commanders of the army divisions and regiments of the North China Front Army must be cautious when encountering the Chinese army commanded by Huang Haoran!

And the reason why General Terauchi Shouichi made this request was even more difficult for Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara to accept! General Terauchi Shouichi actually thought that as long as Huang Haoran became the commander of a Chinese army, then the combat effectiveness of this Chinese army would immediately increase fivefold!

One more person can increase the combat effectiveness of an army by five times!? Is Huang Haoran a god!? Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara was disdainful of the absurd logic of General Terauchi Shouichi!

From that day on, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara put Huang Haoran in the position of an imaginary enemy!

Huang Haoran, who is Kenji Dohihara, has the same adventurous fake blood flowing in his veins! He even dreamed of a showdown with Huang Haoran!

Huang Haoran is definitely an opponent given to him by God! As long as he can defeat Huang Haoran, he can become the first person in the Japanese Army!

But the current battle situation does not allow Kenji Dohihara and Huang Haoran to fight!

General Terauchi Shouichi's task to the 14th Division was to entangle the elite of the Chinese army, and then cooperate with the main force of the North China Front to annihilate it! If the Tufeiyuan Division only cares about a duel with Huang Haoran, it will completely ruin General Terauchi's plan to encircle and annihilate the elite of the Chinese army!

Not only that, even putting aside the requirements of General Shouyi Terauchi, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara is not sure that he will defeat Huang Haoran!

Now on the periphery of the Tufeiyuan Division, there are five armies surrounding the elite of the Wuhan government! None of the elite units of the Central Army, the 71st Army, the 74th Army, the 64th Army, the 27th Army and the 8th Army are easy to mess with! And Song Xilian, Yu Jishi and others who served as army commanders are also relatively capable generals in the Wuhan government army.

In fact, the Japanese Army has rarely encountered such a situation on the battlefield in China. Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, except for a few battles, the commanders of the army divisions of the Japanese Empire have basically defeated the Chinese army with a lame.

China's supreme military command organs, which are accustomed to infighting and balancing the arts, always like to take it for granted when deploying combat units and appointing campaign commanders! There are often classic combinations of an elite tour led by a stupid general, or a strong general leading a weak soldier!

Such an arrangement has already lost half of the battle from the very beginning! The reason why the Japanese Army was able to advance vigorously on the battlefield in China was that those senior staff officers of the Wuhan Military Commission made a lot of contributions.

Coincidentally, the battle plan for the Battle of Lanfeng was the product of a small number of people in the Military Commission who were nervous. Not only were the several central armies besieging the Tufeiyuan Division a strong force, but even the former enemy commander Xue Yue was also a good commander.

It is not a pleasant thing to be oppressed in a small area by such a powerful opponent, and Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara has already felt the pressure from the Chinese army!

Such a thing as the 27th Army's voluntary retreat was just an accident, and it was unavoidable. If the hope of victory was pinned on the Chinese army's initiative to make mistakes, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara would not be worthy of the title of "Lawrence of the East".

Huang Haoran replaced Xue Yue at this time, which was a big bad thing for the 14th Division!

Assuming what General Shouichi Terauchi said is true... No! Even if half of what General Terauchi said was true, Huang Haoran's arrival could really make the elite combat effectiveness of the Central Army of the 5 armies besieging the 14th Division soar! That also means that the 14th Division of Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara will not be able to hold the existing positions at all!

As one of the few mechanized units in the Japanese Army, the Dohihara Division still has the ability to escape, but escaping will also destroy General Terauchi Shouichi's encirclement and annihilation plan!

The current Lanfeng battle situation is like a "fishing map", the 14th Division in the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops is like a bait, and the five elite armies of the peripheral Central Army are the big fish that General Terauchi Shouichi wants, and the 14th Division and the 5th Division that rushed from Xuzhou are a big net compiled by the North China Front.

When the fish are gone, the big fish will not stay where they are. And as soon as the big fish leaves, the big net of the North China Front will be useless!

The 14th Division is really in a dilemma now, it can neither fight nor withdraw, it can only drag on slowly!

Xue Yue should step down soon! No! Xue Yue must have stepped down! From now on, the opponent of the 14th Division is Huang Haoran, the "victorious general" of the Chinese people!

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara directly ruled out the possibility that Huang Haoran would not take over the Battle of Lanfeng! Today's Huang Haoran has long been the ace general in the hands of the Wuhan government, if the Wuhan government sent Huang Haoran to Kaifeng for sightseeing, I'm afraid only a fool will believe it!

"Huang Haoran? A real Chinese general! It's a pity that he is here at a bad time......"

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara deliberately turned around when he spoke so that Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano would not see his facial expressions, only in this way would Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano not perceive the regret in his heart!

Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano one-sidedly understood what Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara said as "not the time" into Tohihara's worries, and he said very inappropriately: "Your Excellency Division Commander, Huang Haoran is just a person in the end, and it is impossible to be completely without weaknesses!" The intelligence of the front army is very clear, this time Huang Haoran's 25th Army did not arrive in Kaifeng with him, maybe this is our good opportunity! As far as I know, the people of China are notoriously disunited! The generals of the combat units like to preserve their strength! They will definitely discount when carrying out Huang Haoran's orders! Gui Yongqing's 27th Army is the best example! ”

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara still had his back to Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano, walked straight to the front of the battle map, and then said while drawing on the map with red and blue pencils: "Sano-kun! I see the opposite of you! It was precisely because Gui Yongqing's 27th Army was defeated first, so Huang Haoran would never allow the Chinese army to make the same mistake again! If my estimate is not wrong, Gui Yongqing should have been taken into custody by Huang Haoran by now, and Gui Yongqing's henchmen in the 27th Army can only fight to the death with us if they want to save Gui Yongqing's life! ”

"That's... So what do we do? Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano finally showed signs of panic. Although the 14th Division had an advantage in firepower and the quality of its soldiers, after all, the total number of Chinese troops forming the encirclement was nearly ten times that of the 14th Division! Once the Chinese army really relentlessly fights with the 14th Division, the 14th Division will be crippled if it does not die!

Tsuchihara smiled, he liked this kind of moment that showed his extraordinary wisdom!
