Chapter 247: The conflicts in one’s own family can also scare people
To the north of the Wuhan Army’s Tang Corps is also the defense area of the Bantan Division.
The Sakata Division is an elite division. Now it is being held back by the Tang Corps and cannot move forward. However, the commander of the Tang Corps is a cautious person.
"What you mean is to let the 4th Division and the Isogai Division contain the Yu Corps, and let the Sakatan Division and the Seya Detachment launch an attack on Fujikyu Prefecture." The chief of staff seemed to understand what the person in front of him meant and asked.
Terauchi Hisaichi nodded; "Yes, elite against elite, isn't that good? Another point, the 4th Division is a bunch of troublemakers, it is absolutely impossible for you to let them really attack, so why not let them follow the Isogai Division to contain and see the enemy? At least with the Isogai Division, I don't worry, the Tang Corps will quickly move south."
He is already a waste. What can you do with them? Just put them in an unimportant place.
"Okay, I'll give the order right away." The chief of staff was about to leave, but Terauchi Juichi stopped him. "By the way, Takeshita Shun's squad from the 13th Division is currently resting in Jining, right?"
"Yes, but they have been messing around in the Fifth War Zone recently, causing Xuzhou to be under full martial law. The patrol teams in the city and outside the city have increased their manpower. If we let them fight, I'm afraid it won't be very effective."
"No, I won't let them go to the front. There are many forces in Shandong that are resisting our Imperial Army. Let them go out and clear out the places along the railway that threaten our army before our reinforcements arrive."
Clean up?
The chief of staff thought for a moment and nodded. "Then where should we choose for them?"
Terauchi Juichi came to the map and said after a while, "They can choose for themselves."
"Captain, have you made your choice?" Shigeru Miyamoto saw Takeshita Shun standing in front of the map with several circles laid out on it for a while, then stepped forward and asked.
Takeshita Shun's fingers moved along the railway line, and then he stopped at a place and said, "Let's go here."
Shigeru Miyamoto took a look and saw that the place was Laiyang.
"Captain, our Guards Brigade is here in Laiyang. Do they dare to take action right under our noses?"
Takeshita Shun shook his head slightly; "The most dangerous place is the most dangerous place, and I heard that the independent regiment of Hutou Mountain is still able to survive after experiencing an encirclement and suppression by our army. This shows that their endurance and combat effectiveness are very strong. If we don't destroy them, our army's transportation in the future will definitely be restrained by them."
The information about Terauchi Juichi's troop movements was quickly sent to the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters, which then forwarded the message to the 74th Army Headquarters in Fuji County.
As the Sakatan Division, which tied down an army corps, had always been a very active and capable division in the north, Yu Huohuo immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the joint attack of the Japanese Sakatan Division and the Seya Detachment.
The temporary corps has now reached four armies. In addition to the 41st and 59th armies, there is also a 71st army that has been temporarily assigned to this command.
The powerful Fujikyu Corps had an advantage in manpower when facing the Sakatan Division and the Seya Detachment, but was at a disadvantage in equipment.
Several military commanders were discussing how to respond in front of the map.
After discussing several solutions, Yu Huo Huo felt that none of them were appropriate. Finally, he looked at Zhou Weiguo, who had been listening but not speaking, and said, "Weiguo, you should also say something."
I……
Zhou Weiguo frowned slightly when he saw several people looking at him. With his qualifications, it seemed inappropriate for him to make suggestions on such a large-scale troop operation.
Commander Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. When it comes to calculations and conspiracies, I'm afraid we are not as good as you."
Zhou Weiguo heard what Commander Wang said. He pointed at the Bantan Division and said, "Lure them down, and when they go deep into the enemy territory alone, surround and consume part of them."
"It's difficult." Commander Sun sighed; "The Sakatan Division must have learned from the failure of the Seya Detachment and will definitely take a steady approach. The Seya Detachment will probably do the same. I'm afraid our army has no chance."
"There is a chance, but I'm afraid this will cause the local troops to suffer certain losses." Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath, he didn't know what to say next.
Just now, he also listened to the discussion of several people. It was probably about intercepting at every level and on both sides. This could indeed block their offensive pace, but it would have little impact on the entire battle situation. The losses were still quite large. After all, the other side suffered a great loss. It was certain that they had to advance step by step.
And if we can resolve their step-by-step fighting style, there will be a chance. As long as one side dares to send out their main force and push forward, there will be a chance.
Zhou Weiguo did have a solution.
This requires taking advantage of the contradictions between the central army and local forces.
The Central Army and the local troops were at odds with each other, and this was a problem known to everyone. In addition, the old man also wanted to use the Japanese army to swallow up the local troops.
Sakata is an expert on China, he knows very well what the situation is like here. As long as he knows that there is serious internal strife in the Tengxian Corps, for example, the situation on the front line is tight, and if the Central Army does not reinforce, then he will definitely have some ideas.
As long as he has an idea, there will be a possibility of rapid advancement of troops, and the independent regiment can quickly attack after the enemy advances, surround them tightly, and block their reinforcements, while the rest of the troops will all press forward to kill this protruding force.
The Sakatan Division, having suffered a loss, will certainly be cautious and dare not advance rashly.
"This is what I plan to do." Zhou Weiguo pointed at the map; "We can set up three lines of defense in the north of Teng County, intercepting the enemy all the way to Teng County, and the Teng County defenders can retreat without a fight. After all, if our central army does not reinforce, no matter where we put it, there will be complaints."
"Great." Commander Sun laughed and looked at Zhou Weiguo; "Even if Bantan is a god, he probably can't imagine that we are setting a trap for him this time."
Several people nearby also nodded and agreed that this was feasible.
Yu Huohuo stared at the map for a while, then looked at the people around him; "Let's lubricate it. I'll let the 71st Army assist from the side. Once the Japanese attack them, they will quickly evacuate. At that time, you can evacuate. The telegrams between us can be intercepted and deciphered by the Japanese, letting them know that although we are resisting, we are actually fighting internally. Bantan thinks he is an expert on China and knows everything about us. This time, we will use his understanding of us to fight him."
Zhou Weiguo nodded repeatedly. "What the commander said is right. Rather than saying that it is a battle between us and his Bantan Division, it is better to say that we are a group of people, fighting against him alone. Even if he is an old turtle, he will suffer the consequences this time."
Yu Huo Huo put his hands behind his back for a while, then threw the pencil in his hand in the direction of the Bantan Division and narrowed his eyes; "Fuck him."
