Tsukada Ota was stunned when he heard Matsui Ishigen say this, then lay down on the map and looked.__//After a while, he sighed. His strategic vision and the commander were indeed far from each other.

Matsui Ishione obviously made such a decision at the beginning, but in order to make the other party more believe that he did not directly know the 10th Army and the other two divisions.

The purpose was to make their tricks more realistic. Until the 10th Army mobilized the Jinsui Army in Zhengzhou City, their flaws were revealed.

At that time, the Central China Front Army can take this opportunity to break through Kaifeng and fight towards Zhengzhou City!

It is only more than fifty kilometers from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou. Even the straight-line distance from Xuchang to Zhengzhou is eighty kilometers! In other words, if the Japanese army really mobilized the troops of Xuchang City, they themselves broke through from Kaifeng.

Then the Jinsui Army on the Pingdingshan line in Xuchang will definitely not be able to react. At that time, the Central China Front Army can completely calmly encircle Zhengzhou City directly.

Regardless of whether these two places were captured or not, the Central China Front Army could directly threaten the Jinsui army in these two places. They could even encircle and annihilate them, and then attack Zhengzhou City.

"So... Commander, what should we do now?! Should we increase the attack on Xuchang?!" Tsukada Oku figured it out and said to his commander.

"No! We cannot attract the attention of the Jinsui Army, boil the frogs in warm water. What we need is their continuous losses, but we are not at the point of being directly violated."

Matsui Ishien said with a smile: "Our advantage lies in its powerful firepower and air force. These are not owned by the Jinsui Army. Although we lost some of the artillery, we still have more artillery. We just need to keep going.

If they test their firepower points and remove them, their casualties will undoubtedly gradually intensify."

"Xuchang is the gateway to Zhengzhou. Unless there is no way, the Jinsui Army will not give up here easily. We can use it to hang them. Let them continue to increase their troops to reduce the troops stationed in Zhengzhou City."

"When they filled more than one army into Xuchang, it was time for us to attack Kaifeng!" Matsui Ishigen's eyes flashed and he sneered: "Xuchang City... It's our flesh and blood that we grind away from them."

millstone!"

"Hay! Your Excellency Commander is wise!!"

At the same time, Gao Guizi was red in his command center and looked at the map of the enemy and us on the map. On this map, the enemy and us were intertwined.

Although the Japanese army did not gain an advantage in this attack, they then charged and pushed their positions more than 600 meters in front of the positions. Almost both sides could hear the other party's breathing, while the Japanese army continued to attack the Jinsui Army at night.

The position carried out cold gun shooting.

Fortunately, the Jinsui Army did not take a laziness when digging the tunnel. Therefore, the Japanese army's cold gun did not cause much casualties. However, this harmed the morale of the army.

Many soldiers of the Jinsui Army dare not show up now, for fear that they would be shot by the Japanese army.

The importance of individual soldiers' quality has been revealed again. The Japanese army's bullets that were spent on practice finally showed their role at this time. I dare not say that all the Japanese army were sharpshooters. But from long-distance sniping, the Japanese army was indeed better than Jin.

There are many Sui army.

"Grandma's... how to fight this battle..." Gao Guizi sighed helplessly and slowly stood up from the edge of the map. The Japanese army now have an advantage in terms of firepower, individual quality and military strength.

The only thing the Jinsui Army could rely on was the defensive fortifications excavated earlier. Today's shelling was held back. So what about tomorrow?! What about the day after tomorrow?! Gao Guizi was not sure that his fortifications could withstand the Japanese bombing.

"Order all departments to prepare to support the front line tomorrow..." Gao Guizi whispered to the adjutant beside him tiredly: "Now, we can only take one step at a time..."

All night, the officers of the 114th Division of the 114th Division of the Japanese 17th Army, opposite the 17th Army, did not rest. Lieutenant General Shimatsu, the commander of the 114th Division, and Colonel Isoda, the chief of staff, gathered them together to discuss

Tomorrow's attack.

"Today our attack did not take down the positions of the opposite Jinsui Army, but the commander did not blame us..." Lieutenant General Momoji Momoji, the commander of the 114th Division, spoke in a deep voice to the officers at all levels beside the table.

road.

"But I think this is a huge shame for us as emperors!" Mo Song Shigeji looked at everyone and said ruthlessly: "With the advantage of firepower and military strength, he was driven out of the position by a regiment.

!This is embarrassment!”

"Hay!!" Major General Akiyama Shisaburo, the commander of the 127th Brigade, Major General Obofu, the commander of the 128th Brigade, and Major Kenshiro, the captain of the 18th Cavalry Brigade, and Otsuka, the captain of the 120th Artillery Corps.

Shengzunzusa and the other four stood up and responded nervously.

"Akiyama! What's going on with your 56th Regiment? Will Yamada Takata lead his troops?! This war has already lost all the face of the Emperor* people!"

Shigeji Mimatsu looked at Major General Akiyama Shisaburo, the commander of the 127th Brigade, and scolded: "Tomorrow. I will give you another chance! I will ask Otsuka's 120th Regiment to provide you with firepower support, but if you can't take Jinsui again

Army positions…”

"I will die in the battlefield!" Akiyama Shizusaburo was cruel enough. He responded directly to Shigeji Momoji: "I promise! At this time tomorrow, the division commander will definitely be on the position of the Jinsui Army.

My subordinates hold a celebration meeting!”

"Okay! This is what the Emperor* people look like! Fight well, don't lose the face of our 114th Division!"

"Hai!" Akiyama Yuzaburo responded, and saw Shigeji Momatsu waved his hand and bowed. After Shigeji Akiyama left, Shigeji Momatsu said in a deep voice to Major General Oboo, the commander of the 128th Brigade.

"If Qiushan is not completed tomorrow, then your 128th Brigade will take over them directly! Although the commander did not blame me this time, if we still cannot take the position, our division will undoubtedly be replaced!"

"I think you know more than me what the consequences will be!"

"Hay!!" Obofu's back sweated, and he couldn't say anything except that. And Shigeji Sumatsu ignored him and turned to look at the 120th Field Artillery Regiment leader Otsuka Tsuke

He said: "Otsukazuka, how many artillery do we have?!"

"Due to the artillery attack from the Jinsui Army, I don't know how many artillery is in the army now. But there are 54 artillery pieces in the division, 12 of which are newly issued 105mm caliber heavy artillery."

Although Yanagawa Heisuke collected artillery from the rest of his troops as support firepower for the offensive, he did not collect artillery from the 114th Division. Perhaps he thought the firepower was enough, or perhaps he thought these could be used as self-service firepower for the division.

In short, his decision allowed the 114th Division to retain its own field artillery wing.

"Yo Xi! Tomorrow, don't move. After the 127th Brigade retreats, you calculate the firepower point of the Jinsui Army and wait for my order!" Mo Song Maozhi nodded and said, "I must clear the Jinsui Army."

The army's firepower point!"

When the rest of the people heard Shimoji Momoji say this, they couldn't help but suddenly get hair all over their bodies! It was obvious that Shimoji Momoji was going to use Akiyama Suizaburo's 127th Brigade to test the firepower of the Jinsui Army.

Then use the field artillery corps of our division to directly destroy it, and then let the 128th Brigade attack!

I have to say that this is an extremely effective way. But if you do this, the 127th Brigade will undoubtedly suffer a huge loss. Thinking of the 127th Brigade's performance today, the few people sighed helplessly.

The 127th Brigade has lost more than a thousand men, and half of the regiment is gone. If a war is fought tomorrow, more than one regiment may be lost.

Even if there is less, half of the regiment will be the lowest. In this way, the 127th Brigade will lose its combat effectiveness.

But Shigeji Matsu's arrangement is reasonable or not.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give Akiyama a last chance. If he doesn't grasp it himself, I will call the Front Command and ask him to make the reserve."

This sentence is the most surprising thing for the captains of the regiment. They knew that if they and others did not perform tomorrow, this path would undoubtedly be their last destination.

The next morning, just as dawn, countless figures gathered on the position. This is Colonel Chiba Kotaro, the 102nd Infantry Regiment of the 127th Brigade, and Yamada Takatasa, the 56th Infantry Regiment, led by Yamada Takatasa

The two wings under his command stayed quietly on the position.

"You guys! The division commander has given me the order. If we still can't take the position today, we will bear all the consequences!" Akiyama Junsaburo was in his command center, facing the two regiment captains.

He said: "Yamada, I won't talk about what happened yesterday. But if you haven't been able to take the position yet, then we have to go to the reserve together!"

"Chanye! This battle is related to the future of all of us. If no progress is made..." Akiyama Yusaburo said this, but did not continue.

"Everyone! Please!"

"Hayi!!"

"Chirky chirp...boom!boom!boom..." Ten minutes after the meeting, the artillery positions of the 10th Japanese Army began to launch artillery bombardment on the positions of the 500th Regiment of the Jinsui Army and the 499th Regiment!

The position was covered with dust, and the anti-aircraft holes that had suffered severe damage yesterday finally collapsed at this moment. Some of the soldiers of the Jinsui Army were buried in the soil.

The machine gun positions that were exposed yesterday were taken seriously, and countless shells fell like raindrops.

"Buzz buzz..." When the artillery was bombarded, the Japanese air force was also rushing towards the battlefield. After more than an hour of shelling, the Japanese planes began to bomb. It is not yet completed.
Chapter completed!
