Chapter 375: How to Fight?
"It's a nice day!" Meng Xiang stretched, closed the new battle report, stood up from behind his desk, walked to the window of the headquarters, and reached out to touch a ray of sunlight shining there. Busy, he couldn't leave the base and the vicinity of the headquarters for a single step, and there were questions coming to him at any time. There are many things to analyze and consider, and his mind is constantly running.
Fan Chong, who was not far away, was still reading through the information, but it was Pharmacist Tang who walked in from outside and brought a good soup.
"It's time for soup." Pharmacist Tang smiled and said, "I can now drink my daughter's soup every day." ”
These soups are all prepared by Tang Mingyue according to some traditional Chinese medicine recipes, but the taste is a hundred times better than the nutrient solution. After the wrist communicator quickly swept the prompt to normal, Meng Xiang picked up the bowl of soup and took a big sip, and couldn't help but feel warm from the stomach to the whole body, and the fatigue of staying up late was swept away.
"Good news?" Pharmacist Tang looked at Meng Xiang's face and smiled.
"The Yanmen Pass has been blocked, and last night I said that I attacked all night, and the paratrooper troops suffered heavy losses, but after Li Hong's brigade arrived, they sealed the opening. Now that the troops are coming to the city of Shuozhou, there are still the strength of a brigade mixed with the 3rd Brigade of Reading Power, so there is no need to worry.
Datong has been taken this morning, and more than 3,000 people have been annihilated by the 3rd Brigade of the Reading Power Mix, and Sasaki has escaped by being summoned to Nanjing, and it is a pity that he did not catch this executioner in the Nanjing massacre. Fan Chong sighed.
Sasaki was the commander of the 30th Brigade of the 16th Division at the time of the Nanjing Massacre, and his unit was one of the most murderous in that massacre. In the middle and late stages, after the other devil divisions withdrew from the city of Nanjing, the massacres of his brigade continued. Due to the appearance of the vanguard army, he has not moved his position in the 3rd Brigade of Reading Power Mix, and it is a pity that he was not caught this time.
However, the 3rd Brigade was also finished, and a brigade was blown up by the vanguard army on the train. Datong annihilated three, and the remaining one in Shuozhou didn't have to run.
"How's it going up north?" Pharmacist Tang asked with a smile, he stayed up until midnight and went back to rest. In military matters, he deliberately avoided suspicion and did not bother to ask too much.
"Zhang Bei has almost taken it. Kanji Tsuneoka didn't wait to kill himself before he was shot by our snipers. As for the 32 Wing, which escaped, it is now being surrounded and annihilated. Fan Chong opened his mouth and came and gave a general explanation of the battle situation. Although Pharmacist Tang only asked about military affairs, he had a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation.
In the command hall next to it, dozens of staff officers have been busy coming and going.
"Is there anything new?"
"The new battle report in Shuozhou, the attack launched at six o'clock in the morning, the reading force there mixed with the 3rd Brigade of the 8th Brigade to resist for half an hour, lost more than half, knew that it was invincible, and set fire to the city." Han Xingyu, a staff officer of the major next to him, immediately reported, and his slightly red eyes also stayed up all night. The staff planning a few days ago has been busy for several nights.
"Burning the city? What about the casualties? Meng Xiang asked hurriedly.
"Fortunately, the fire has been brought under control, there are not many casualties, and the specific number of people is being counted, and the preliminary statistics are less than 100." Han Xingyu opened his mouth.
"The devil hasn't learned a long lesson yet? Then send them another letter of condolence. Meng Xiang snorted coldly.
Pharmacist Tang smiled without saying a word, and Rat Er next to him immediately turned away.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army in Nanjing, he received a letter from the Pioneer Army, informing them that the overseas Chinese who had voluntarily repented and reformed on the territory of the Pioneer Army had ignited a fire and burned 680 male expatriates to death while lighting a fire to keep warm, and expressed regret for this. At the same time, it also condemned the practice of setting fire to the city and killing 68 civilians by the 8th Brigade of the 3rd Brigade of the Mixed Brigade.
Finally, I would like to quote the collective appeal of more than 80,000 expatriates who have voluntarily repented and reformed to keep the war away from civilians.
The letter was torn to shreds by Sugiyama's anger on the spot. He was eager to immediately pull out a few thousand Chinese people to behead them, but at this time, a human rights organization organized by non-governmental people from dozens of countries led by Jian San was always keeping an eye on the actions of the army, and from time to time reporting the brutal and vicious deeds of the devils, so that they would not dare to act rashly.
The deeds of the Nanjing Massacre were revealed little by little, which made him very passive in the international community. The continuous activities of the human rights organizations in the third place have also made the atrocities of the Japanese army somewhat restrained. But the devil who does not change his surname still commits some evil deeds from time to time, but mainstream societies such as Europe and the United States have always regarded these strange jokes as after-dinner tea, and it does not affect the transactions with him.
Sugiyama knew the meaning of this letter from the Vanguard. Some time ago, the so-called gesture battlefield of more than 1,000 overseas Chinese who died due to poison gas left behind by the Syrian army was in response to the incident in which the military in Texas injured more than 100 civilians with poison gas. The vanguard army's tenfold revenge is not a lie, and the number of expatriates in their hands also makes Yue himself very jealous.
"Tell the troops to pay attention to the civilians when facing the vanguard." Sugiyama Yuan said helplessly.
The vanguard army is in the general headquarters of Qidu, and Meng Xiang is laying out the next plan.
"Continue to clear Datong and Zhangbei, and be sure to complete the cleanup within two days." The capture of Datong and Zhangbei in one day only controlled the overall situation, and there were still many stragglers who hid and needed to be cleared. This is more troublesome, but with the support of the local people, it is not difficult to clean up.
"Pay close attention to every move of the 26th Division. Guisui's information should be handled in a timely manner. "The main strength of the 26th Division is held in the Jining area, and now it is in a dilemma. I wanted to come to the rescue, but before I arrived, whether it was Datong or Zhangbei, they had already been lost.
A regiment of Sun Liren's 18th Division had broken through to Fengzhen, and Fu Yucheng's brigade had also conquered Xinghe County, and the two roads were advancing directly to Jining. In the face of the offensive of the vanguard army, the 26th Division had no choice but to arrange the front around Jining, and deal with these two roads first.
"The 26th Division is concentrated in Jining, and Guisui will be empty!" Fan Chong said with a smile.
"The 26th Division is concentrated in Jining, just so we can eat them in one bite!" Meng Xiang also smiled.
"The 26th Division is in danger!" Kenji Dohihara found Sugiyama Motomichi, "The spearhead of the vanguard army is directed at the 26th Division. Even if a division of the first division is not sure of winning against a division of the vanguard army, at this time they are facing two divisions of the vanguard army, and they are afraid that they will be more auspicious than lucky. ”
"Two divisions?" Sugiyama looked at the location of the 38th Division on the map, "You mean, the 38th Division?" ”
"Yes, the 18th Division and the 38th Division will definitely launch an attack on the Mongolian garrison at the same time in the next step." Kenji Dohihara affirmed, "There are no reinforcements outside, and there is not enough ammunition inside, so the 26th Division is only afraid that this time it will be in trouble." ”
"We're in trouble! Retreat back to Suiyuan or defend Jining? "The commander of the 26th Division, Lieutenant General Houguan Chun, was a little hesitant, and the 26th Division did not have much to deal with the rapid attack of the vanguard army.
"With the help of the mountains to the south and east, it is best to prevent Jining. Otherwise, the vanguard army will attack all the way, and I am afraid that it will endanger Guisui. "Chief of Staff Silver Chong 2 Zhong said.
"We should continue to attack, take advantage of the unstable position of the vanguard army, and attack Datong directly to the south. Even if we abandon Jining, if we take Datong and continue to open up exchanges with Taiyuan, we can also get ammunition supplies, otherwise our ammunition will not be able to support a long-term confrontation with the vanguard army. Our supplies can't be brought from elsewhere, so what's the use of just guarding Jining and Guisui? "The commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment, Major General Shigetoku Kuroda, resolutely supported the offensive.
"But the vanguard army has arrived in Fengzhen, and it is not easy to attack the mountains over there!" Houguan Chun's heart kept churning with the analysis that Kenji Dohihara gave him.
I have never fought against the Pioneer Army, and I always despise the strength of the Pioneer Army. Only by fighting with the vanguard army will you make a correct judgment on the artillery superiority of the vanguard army.
The firepower of the defending 18 was definitely not as simple as an ordinary division, and at this time the 26 division lacked ammunition and heavy firepower.
"How?" Hou Guan Chun was a little embarrassed.
At this time, Meng Xiang didn't know that the 26th Division was short of ammunition. He got another piece of good news.
"The siege and annihilation battle against the 32nd Wing has ended, the 32nd Wing was completely annihilated, and the Wing Commander Yoshihei Noji was killed. and seized a large amount of property looted by the army. ”
