[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 560: Each has its own (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the conference room were fixed on Aiko Sato's face, waiting for her answer, including Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Aiko Sato was not stage frightened, and immediately said: "Hai, our special high class has already deciphered almost all the telegrams of the Shina people, so we have basically mastered their deployment. ”

"Yo Xi, please also ask Miss Aiko to quickly tell me how the people are going to fight the imperial army!" Shojiro Iida said hurriedly.

Aiko Sato said in a deep voice: "The Chinese army participating in this war includes 10 armies and 4 divisions of the Second Theater of the National Government, including the **** and 47th Army of the Fourth Army of China, the 15th Army and the 17th Army of the 5th Group Army, the 19th Army of the Sixth Group Army, the First Cavalry Army, the New First Army and the 22nd Army of the Seventh Group Army, the 14th Army and the 98th Army of the Fourteenth Group Army, and the 66th Division, the 71st Division, the 1st Provisional Division, and the 2nd Provisional Division directly under the direct jurisdiction of the theater, with a total strength of 160,000 people. ”

In addition, there were more than 50,000 troops from the 129th Division, the 120th Division, the 334th Brigade of the 115th Division, and the Suicha Military Region, with a total strength of about 10 to 140,000 people. Its strategic deployment is divided into the following points: First, the main force of the 120th Division of the Eighth Road of China will go straight down to Ningwu from the northwest of Shanxi Province to capture Jingle. Secondly, more than 50,000 people under Ma Zheng's main force attacked from Dai County, directly took the plain, and finally fought against Xinkou in the 20th Division. ”

"The second theater of China is divided into three routes, one route is commanded by Lieutenant General Sun Weiru of the Fourth Group Army of China, and this road army is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Shoushan's ****, Li Jiayu's 47th Army and Liu Maoen's 15th Army, totaling more than 60,000 people in three armies. The Luchina army would attack from Lüliang, attack Gujiao from west to east, and then approach Taiyuan. ”

The second road was commanded by Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Group Army of China, under the jurisdiction of Gao Guizi's 17th Army, Wang Jingguo's 19th Army, Zhao Chengsui's First Cavalry Army, and Deng Baoshan's New First Army, totaling about 68,000 people in three infantry and one cavalry. The Luchina army would set out from Pingyao, then attack Wenshui, and finally occupy the Qing Dynasty and Xu troops to besiege Taiyuan. ”

"The Third Road China Army is personally commanded by Wei Lihuang, deputy commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and has under the jurisdiction of Gao Shuangcheng's 22nd Army, Chen Tie's 14th Army, Wu Shimin's 98th Army, and the 66th Division, 71st Division, 1st Provisional Division, and 2nd Provisional Division directly under the Theater as reserves. This Chinese army will attack Jinzhong from Taigu and then take Taiyuan directly. ”

After Aiko Sato finished speaking, all the Japanese officers present were surprised, they didn't expect this young female major general Zuo to be so powerful, and she could get such a strict battle plan from the Chinese people, it was incredible.

At the same time, these Japanese officers were also taken aback by the generosity of the Chinese army, and the Five Route Army besieged Taiyuan together, and there were no less than a dozen numbers at the army level alone, which was to fight a decisive battle of the main force! Thinking about the current situation of the First Army, this battle is really difficult to fight.

"Gentlemen, the people of China vainly tried to eliminate our first army in Shanxi in one fell swoop, it is simply stupid and self-defeating. With the assistance of Miss Aiko, all the secrets of the battle of the Shina people are undefended for the imperial army, and how do the armies think the imperial army should fight this battle? Umezu Mijiro said loudly.

Shojiro Iida, the most senior, stood up and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that our army should concentrate superior forces in this battle and break through the invading Chinese army in the future. ”

"To be specific, how can our army defeat the 300,000 army with the inferior strength of just two and a half divisions plus three mixed brigades and five divisions of the Imperial Cooperative Army!" Umezu Mijiro said.

"Although the strength of the Chinese people is huge, they lack armored strength, and the most important thing is that at least three-quarters of the more than 300,000 troops of the Chinese people are the miscellaneous army of the Chinese army, and the combat effectiveness of one army is far less than that of a brigade of the imperial army. Now the Chinese army is divided into five routes, and our army is just transferring some of the elites, and with the assistance of chariots, one or two of them will be completely wiped out, and the remaining troops will automatically retreat. Iida Shojiro said in a deep voice.

Shojiro Iida's words caused most of the officers present to nod their heads frequently, secretly saying that he was one of the senior officers with the most extensive combat experience in the Imperial Japanese Army, and he had come up with a way to break the enemy in such a short period of time.

"Yo Xi, this battle plan is very feasible. However, the strength of our army is still somewhat insufficient, and I will suggest to His Excellency Sugiyama Motomoto that all of His Excellency Toshiyoshi Ando's 5th Division be transferred to Shanxi to fight, and that all the planes of the front army be mobilized to fight together. ”

Then Umezu Mijiro continued: "According to the information provided by Miss Aiko, among the five routes of the army, Lü Liang is the weakest, so let's take this route of the army!" ”

"Hay!"

"Iida-kun, now our army has just been hit hard by the Shina, Xia Yuanjun's 108th Division has suffered heavy losses, and even Xia Yuanjun himself is uncertain, so the task of encircling and destroying Sun Weiru's department this time will be handed over to you to command, I will hand over Sasaki's independent mixed 3rd Brigade, 1st Tank Wing, 1st Mountain Artillery Wing and 4th Field Artillery Wing to your command, plus the strong aviation support of the front army, presumably it should not be a problem to eliminate these miscellaneous armies in these branches." Umezu Mijiro said.

"Hai, please rest assured, Commander, that in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, I swear that I will destroy this Luchina army." Shojiro Iida said loudly.

"Yo Xi, before Xia Yuanjun has not annihilated the branch of Sun Weiru, you must hold on. As long as the army of one road is eliminated, Xia Yuanjun will withdraw his hand, and then the other army of the branch will not be a problem. ”

Speaking of this, Umezu Mijiro said again: "But what I want to remind you is that the Chinese Ma Zheng Department is far more powerful than you think, so don't engage in a field battle with it unless you have to, now the imperial army occupies a geographical advantage, and our strong city fortifications are definitely the best meat grinder to strangle the Chinese army, we only need to guard the city fortifications, have you ever understood?" ”

"Hay!"

"This battle will be won! Great Japanese Empire onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! ”

"This battle will be won!"

"Great Japanese Empire onboard!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

Umezu Mijiro's arrogance exceeded Ma Zheng's expectations, he did not expect that after the Chinese side posed to completely annihilate the First Army under his command, Umezu Mijiro did not order the troops to turn to the defensive, let alone stick to the defense, but also took the initiative to attack, I really don't know whether it was arrogance or stupidity.

In Ma Zheng's view, due to the stubborn resistance of the Chinese side and the sudden rise of Ma Zheng's troops, the Japanese army in Shanxi at this time was far less powerful than the invading Japanese army in history.

You must know that in 1939 in history, the Japanese army not only completely occupied the entire northern part of Shanxi, but also the entire central and most of southern Jinjin was the security area of the Japanese army, and the six group armies in the second theater, including the 18th Group Army, were suppressed in some areas of southeast and northwest Shanxi, and they could only be beaten and had no ability to fight back.

However, although the Japanese army invaded Shanxi with the same force and also captured Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, the Japanese army only occupied a limited number of county towns in other areas outside Taiyuan, and most of Shanxi was still in the hands of the Chinese government and army. Especially after the Suicha Military Region launched the Northern Shanxi Campaign, the Japanese army only controlled six counties and districts north of Taiyuan: Daixian, Wutai, Jingle, Xinkou, Dingxiang, and Yuanping.

The Japanese army in Jinzhong only occupied 13 counties of Taiyuan, Yangqu, Loufu, Gujiao, Qingxu, Jiaocheng, Wenshui, Taigu, Jinzhong, Shouyang, Yangquan, Mengxian, and Pingding, which were barely comparable to the three prefecture-level cities in later generations.

In Jinnan and other places, the Japanese army did not occupy many counties and districts, and in short, the territory of the First Army stationed in Shanxi was not large, and its strength was not strong. Ma Zheng really couldn't think of any confidence that Umezu Mijiro dared to continue to stay in Taiyuan, and dared to arrogantly put on a posture to fight a decisive battle with the main force in the Second War Zone.

Of course, Ma Zheng never dreamed that almost all the battle plans in the Second World War Zone had been learned by the Japanese army, so in the eyes of Umezu Mijiro, they were just blind and victorious, and this battle really had their own hands. (To be continued.) )
