Chapter 831 We have poison gas bombs, why should we be afraid of him?
The words "not much of an impact" made Sano Tadayoshi turn his head and look at Ono for a long moment before throwing the pencil in his hand at him. "I think you've been away from the 4th Division for too long and forgotten they are the Imperial Guard Division."
"What's wrong with the Imperial Guards Division? Don't take it for granted. To be frank, if we really talk about combat effectiveness, it's probably not as good as any other division of the Kwantung Army, except for our great Osaka Division, of course."
"Vase?" Jinxiu muttered beside her.
Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "More or less. They're famous because they protect the capital. In all these years, when have you ever seen him actually take action?"
"Don't underestimate it. We better be careful." Nanzō Akiko tapped the map. "We can't afford to lose Jingzhou due to carelessness."
"It's okay." Ono still waved his hand, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "We have poison gas bombs, we are not afraid of him at all."
"Oh, right, I forgot that we have such a powerful weapon."
Headquarters of the commander of the Ninth War Zone.
The Hata Detachment and the 13th Division suddenly launched attacks on the left and right sides. The Japanese army's actions made Commander Bai and Chief of Staff Wu roughly understand the other side's intentions after holding an emergency military meeting.
"It seems that Anami Korechika has clearly realized that the Imperial Guards Division may not obey him and continue to attack. What he is more worried about is that the Imperial Guards Division's combat effectiveness is not as high as he imagined. Therefore, he ordered the troops on the left and right flanks to strengthen the attack, so as to prevent our army from outflanking and encircling them."
"Yes." Chief of Staff Wu put down his teacup and said, "Not only that, they also sent out air force to bomb our rear roads to prevent our main force from sending reinforcements."
"He wants to fight me head-on." Commander Bai twitched his fingers, then moved to the map. "Since he's determined to do that, I'll give him his way this time. I'll have the Air Force keep a close eye on his aviation. I think if the Guards Division gets into trouble, he'll definitely have his aviation intercept the Independent Regiment. When that happens, I'll drive their aviation out, no matter the cost."
This battle between elites is interesting.
Commander Bai stood up and glanced at his old partner: "So, are you in the mood to go to the Independent Brigade?"
"If I don't see such a beautiful view, I won't close my eyes even if I die one day, right?"
At the independent brigade headquarters, when Commander Bai and Chief of Staff Wu arrived, Zhou Weiguo was sleeping on the bed.
When Fang Shengli and his companions saw them coming in, they were about to wake Zhou Weiguo, but Commander Bai extended his hand to signal them not to do so. Then he came to the map and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Sir, two regiments of the First Brigade and one battalion of cavalry are fiercely attacking the second line of defense. Despite two attacks, our defense remains solid."
Commander Bai glanced down and asked, "Where is the other wing?"
"Accompanying their brigade headquarters, they are twelve kilometers from the front line."
Twelve kilometers?
After pondering for a moment, Commander Bai understood the other party's intention.
"It's moving, it's moving, it's moving." A shout from outside made Zhou Weiguo, who was resting, suddenly open his eyes and get up.
Looking up, he saw Commander Bai there too. He asked in surprise, "Commander, you...why are you here?"
"I'm just here to take a look. It won't affect your command." Commander Bai pointed to the map, then took a step back to make room.
Zhou Weiguo turned to look at Commander Bai, who had stepped back, and wanted to say something, but Chief of Staff Wu had already retreated to his seat, taking a sip of his tea. "We're here to watch elite troops fight each other, but we won't get involved in the command."
Chief Bai had already taken the teacup from Jinxiu and took a sip. "I won't make any suggestions," he said.
Zhou Weiguo groaned and lay down on the map. "Did they move?"
"It's moving. The commander of the First Brigade is personally leading the Third Regiment."
"Good, his main force has arrived. Our sacrifices and interceptions over the past two days have provoked their dissatisfaction."
I mobilized two regiments and the special forces battalion to fight them for two days and stopped them. This was a shame for the proud Guards Division. They would definitely send their main force to come, and what I wanted was to let them come.
Now, they are coming.
"Get ready. Once their forces arrive, the first and second regiments will hold out for an hour and then withdraw. Remember, you must also leave some supplies behind for them, so that we can't resist the evacuation."
Zhou Weiguo dropped the pencil in his hand on the table; "Their death is imminent."
"We are worried about one thing now. The 11th Army will issue a forced order for them to stop the attack. If that happens, our plan cannot be implemented." Sano Tadayoshi said with his arms folded.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and smiled. "It's too late. The Imperial Guards Division's anger has made them lose all reason. They won't obey Anami Korechika's orders."
The glory of the Imperial Guards Division made him unable to listen to anything now. What they wanted was to kill him quickly and in time, so that they could preserve their honor as the best division in the world on the Japanese side. Otherwise, they would never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
"Idiots, these idiots." Anami Korechika had already smashed two teacups.
He turned to look at the Director of Telecommunications next to him. "I'm sending a telegram to Hashimoto. The Independent Brigade is skilled at luring the enemy deep into their territory. They must be heavily deployed on the third line of defense. Tell the First Brigade to withdraw quickly and not advance any further."
"General, we have been unable to contact the Imperial Guards Division."
Fucking beast.
After hearing what the Director of Telecommunications said, Anami Korechika was so angry that he reached for the teacup next to him, but it was empty. He then realized that he had smashed the teacup a few minutes ago.
"Asshole," Anami Korechika slammed the table. "He's insisting on his own way. Hashimoto will pay the price for his arrogance. Immediately tell the Tanaka Brigade that after occupying the Independent Regiment's second-line position, they cannot advance any further."
Anami Korechika gave another order as a last resort, but the chief of staff beside him sighed, "This is a violation of the rules. I'm afraid the Tanaka Brigade won't listen to us."
"If they don't listen to him, this brigade will be finished. The Independent Brigade must be waiting there, well-rested. If they dare to set foot in that area, they will surely encounter the most fierce attack in history. Their tanks will recklessly crush the exhausted soldiers, and then..."
He didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
The Chief of Staff sighed. "We understand, but they probably won't."
