Chapter 1273 Breakthrough

"Secretary Commander!"

As soon as Takeshi Sakurada came in, he suddenly closed his feet and bowed deeply to Imamura.

Imamura waved his hand and said, "Sakurada, have you finished watching the front line terrain so quickly?"

"Hayi." Takeshi Sakurada paused again, then stood up and said, "The terrain of Yinjiang is still very simple. He chose several of the locations and walked away."

Imamura said: "Have you found anything?"

"It's really there." Takeshi Sakurada signaled the staff officer following him to spread the map.

Then Takeshi Sakurada pointed to the map and said, "Secretary Commander, look, this is Cicheng, the core of the entire fortifications in the northwest direction of Yinjiang."

Imamura nodded slightly, without interrupting.

Takeshi Sakurada continued: "Although Bei Yi did not conduct close-up reconnaissance on Cicheng, it can still be found that the Chinese army built a total of three large bunker communities outside Cicheng, all of which were five small bunkers to protect a large main bunker, protecting Cicheng from three directions, north, west and south, and it was impeccable."

Imamura frowned and said, "Sakuradajun, there are only three bunker groups outside Cicheng, and only three directions are protected by north, west and south. What about the east?"

Takedo Sakurada: "The Yinjiang is to the east."

"That's it." Imamura Tsubasa said again, "Can you consider landing directly on the mudflats north of Jiaochuan?"

"Second Commander, this is probably not possible." Takeshi Sakurada said without hesitation, "Zhong Yi is very powerful. He has built a large number of bunker fortifications along the coastal areas from Kowloon Lake to Zhenhai. Moreover, most of these fortifications are semi-buried, so it is difficult for the Imperial Navy's naval gun to cause substantial damage to it."

"Baga." Imamura Tsubasa said, "It would be really troublesome if this is the case."

If the navy's naval guns could not cause damage to the bunkers on the coast, then landing on the beach would be a delusion. As powerful as their Fifth Division, it would be impossible to forcibly land in line with the strafing of the National Army's firepower.

After a pause, Imamura Tsubasa said again: "So, do you have any suggestions?"

"Hayi." Takeshi Sakurada paused and said, "I think there are two things that can be used as breakthroughs!"

After pausing, Takeshi Sakurada said again: "One is Hengjie Town in Yinxi. Because of the humble discovery, with Hengjie Town as the boundary, the 63rd Division of the Weizhi Army in the north and the 62nd Division of the Weizhi Army in the south."

Imamura's eyes narrowed and said, "That is to say, Hengjie Town is the junction of the defense zone between the two divisions?"

"Yes." Takedo Sakurada, "Generally speaking, the defense zone junction is often the most vulnerable, and there are factions within the Chinese army, and internal friction is more serious, so the defense zone junction is even more vulnerable! If we choose the Hengjie as a breakthrough, the Chinese army will likely shirke each other."

"Yoxi." Imamura nodded happily and said, "Where is another breakthrough?"

Takeshi Sakurada smiled slightly, reached out and tried a little harder on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Here."

Imamura Tsubasa's eyes fell on the place where Takeshi Sakurada's fingers, and then he said in surprise: "Kowloon Lake?"

"Yes, Kowloon Lake." Takeshi Sakurada continued, "Section Commander, the Yinjiang China Army's defense line only expanded outward to Longshan near Kowloon Lake, and the density of its fortifications was not on the same level as Cicheng. As soon as the palm of the north, there was almost no defense to watch the sea. The Imperial Army could easily pass through this area."

After pausing, Takeshi Sakurada said again: "Besides, the division commander, the fortifications in the area of ​​Longshan Town are the heads of the entire fortifications of Yinjiang. If the fortifications in Yinjiang are compared to a big snake, then the bunker community in Longshan Town is its snake head, and Jiulong Lake is the seven inches of this big snake. As long as you pinch it, it will not be difficult to subdue this big snake."

"Is that true?" Imamura frowned, "The status of Longshan Town is so important, and its fortifications are not as strong as Cicheng? This is not normal. Will there be any conspiracy?"

"This..." Takeshi Sakurada suddenly said in a short while, and then said again, "But from the observation of Huyi, there should be no traps. Is there such a possibility? Because Longshan Town is the beginning of the entire fortification chain, Zhong Yi attached great importance to it and wanted to leave the fortifications for the final construction."

After a pause, Takechi Sakurada continued: "As a result, the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle broke out before it was completed, and then there was no time to build it again."

Imamura Takashi: "Sakurada, is there any basis for you to say that?"

"Hayi." Imamura said, "Because Beizhi found that a large amount of building materials such as gray, sand, gravel and even steel bars were piled up outside Longshan Town, and some people were repairing fortifications!"

"Is that true?" Imamura said thoughtfully, "It's really possible to say that."

After thinking about it, Imamura was still a little worried and immediately decided to go and see it in person.

...

Not only Jincunjun, but also Zhong Yi, who wanted to visit Longshan Town.

It really made the old Japanese Takeshi Sakurada make a mistake, and the fortifications in Longshan Town really didn't have time to build them.

Since Zhong Yi took over as mayor of Yinjiang, he has become financially abundant with a series of operations. Various building materials have been produced one after another through the Yinxi Industrial Park. However, the fortification chain surrounding Yinjiang is a large-scale project. Even if Yinjiang now has sufficient human resources, it is impossible to build it in a short period of time.

To be honest, the three fortifications surrounding Yinjiang were barely completed, only half of the fortifications in the middle were built, and only a foundation was laid on the innermost fortifications.

Even the most peripheral fortifications still have gaps.

And the biggest gap is near Jiulong Lake.

At this moment, Zhong Yiren was in the Foji Temple at the foot of Dapeng Mountain.

There are continuous hills on the left and right of Foji Temple. Although the Japanese infantry can pass freely, the Japanese cars and heavy equipment cannot pass.

But Foji Temple is located in a canyon, and there was originally a small path of mechanical farming in the canyon.

Now, this mechanized farming path has been expanded into a highway, allowing for load-loading trucks.

In other words, the Japanese trucks and heavy equipment can completely pass through this highway in the valley to reach Jiulong Lake, and then cross Jiulong Lake to be Luotuo Town in Yinjiang!

The defense line of Luotuo Town is already the second line of defense in Yinjiang, and the fortifications have only been repaired less than half.

In other words, once the Japanese army breaks through the defense line of Jiulong Lake, they can reach the outskirts of Yinjiang City!

What's worse is that the Fifth Division rushed from the north was the top main division with the highest combat effectiveness among the seventeen permanent divisions of Japan!
Chapter completed!
