Why didn't the Japanese army attack? What was the reason why the Japanese army mobilized troops? These made the defenders of Tongcheng a little confused. It was said that the time was up, but the Japanese army was not them. But the Japanese seemed to have no intention of attacking. Unable to understand, the defenders of Tongcheng did not dare to be negligent, and still watched the movements of the Japanese army as always.

In the Japanese command center, Fujita Enter Miyamoto Yoshikarasuke Itagaki Seishiro Hatan Miyata Mitsuyo sits around the conference table, looking a little distressed

Fujita Jin first spoke and said: Isn’t there still one day before the armistice period? These Chinese troops mobilized their troops on a large scale to prevent our sneak attacks.

Seishiro Itagaki smiled and said: Fujita, I looked at the gangchi army and were a little frightened. We have been waiting for so many days, and we still care about this day and two days.

That's right, if I'm not wrong, tomorrow should be the last day of the truce. However, according to the investigation of the Special High School, the Chinese army inside Tongcheng is definitely not the more than 20,000 people we imagine, but at least 50,000 people. It is said that there are no less than 30,000 Chinese army stationed on the periphery of the Xicheng Gate. Yoshika Ryosuke said in a muffled voice, his eyes full of worry

In addition to what Ji Jiajun said, I also received news that more than 8,000 people from the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese Army participated in the defense of Tongcheng. Miyamoto was on the periphery of Xicheng Gate a few days ago and said worriedly that Hatan Miyamoto said: Dear division commanders, in fact, from the date of signing the contract, today should be the end of our armistice period, even if we attack today, we are not considered to be considered as violating the agreement. The effective date of the agreement is the same day. I think the Chinese Army's nervousness should be because our army's attack today happened to be the right formation of our army today. This is probably the real reason why the Chinese Army is worried.

Fujita Jin and others were stunned, and then they looked embarrassed, but they would never admit this mistake. Fujita Jin was the first to say: Even if we attack today, we will not attack just a little nervous, so that they can live in a state where we can attack at any time. This can consume the will of the Chinese army.

Fujita Jun said it right, this is indeed a very effective method. Also, I think we should discuss tomorrow's combat plan at the right time. Itagaki Seishiro cooperated with it. Itagaki Seishiro's division is the elite among the elite. This time he was sent to Central China Front Army, which was actually seconded here. Although Fujita and others are all division commanders, Fujita Jin, who is centered on Fujita Jin, is relatively older than Itagaki Seishiro. Itagaki Seishiro was very low-key at this time.

However, being low-key in front of these veteran division commanders does not mean that he is a low-key person. He always thought that with their current strength, it would be easy to defeat the Chinese army. But he also admitted the strong combat effectiveness of the 318th Army, but he did not think that encountering a difficult bone means that they can't chew.

Seishiro Itagaki had studied Fujita Jin's combat plan before. He felt that Fujita Jin's combat plan was at a disadvantage. Since the 318th Army had very strong firepower, it was a bit unwise to fight with them head-on at this time. Although it could consume the combat power of the Chinese army, it also consumed the combat power of its own people, and suffered casualties.

Miyamoto said: We have been using our routine when fighting against the Chinese army. These Chinese army units are too difficult. I have to admit that this is the most difficult unit I have ever seen.

Yoshika Ryosuke also said: Itagaki Division Commander, you may not have fought with them in the 318th Army. These people are absolutely cunning when fighting. No matter what method we use, we will always suffer in the end.

Seishiro Itagaki shook his head and said: I think we should focus on our advantages now and concentrate our advantages to attack the city. Only in this way can we achieve good results. Otherwise, we simply compete with them for the number of people. It is extremely unwise to choose what is the degree of mechanization. Instead of competing with them for the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

Yoshikarasuke nodded and said: I know this very well, but ask the commander of Miyamoto Division. When they were in Jiangyin, an armored unit of the commander of the Ogisu Riot Division was instantly bombarded by the minefield buried by the Chinese army. A complete tank and tank were not left behind. The loss was also heavy. It’s not that we don’t want to use it now, but the loss is too great.

Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said: I understand what you said. I have also studied this battle example. But I think this is a tactical mistake, not a mistake in the armored forces. I would like to give an example. If the tanks and tanks are divided into several teams and then set off every ten minutes, will the effect be much better? This is actually a time difference problem.

Please take a look. Here are some of my experiences about siege. Here I focused on clarifying my point of view. We learned how to cooperate with the armored troops and infantry when we were at the Land University, but I think we need to further refine it. I think we should move the artillery as far as the armored troops and infantry are concerned, and cover at any time.

Maybe everyone will have doubts again. What should we do if we enter the minefield of the Chinese army? The minefield of the Chinese army will no longer exist under the bombing of artillery. This does not include the minefields they arranged in the trenches that use fuses or other detonation. However, we move forward separately, their lethality is much smaller.

Everyone knows that the minefields arranged by the Chinese army are all one-time, not explosions anytime and anywhere, and these are things we need to pay attention to. We move forward in stages. Even if the Chinese army explodes, it will only blow up one of our laughing troops. The large unit is absolutely intact. At this time, their defense line collapses. All we have to do is to move towards the next goal.

These words from Seishiro Itagaki were like enlightenment. The Japanese army lacked innovation, and they still liked the group to charge in their hearts. Seishiro Itagaki undoubtedly changed the situation. It is said that if you are poor, you will think of change. In fact, it is a truth. After the attack was blocked many times, the Japanese army could not create the opinions put forward by Seishiro Itagaki. Wang Mingyu had long thought of them.

But thinking about it is one thing, and cracking it is another thing. If you think about it, you can solve it. Then victory will belong to China long ago. The IQ of the Japanese army is not enough, but the gap in strength is too obvious. Fortunately, the Japanese planes dare not dance around the sky above Tongcheng for the time being. Otherwise, the blow to the entire Tongcheng would be getting bigger and bigger.

The method of the commander of the Itagaki Division is worth using. It's very good. If we follow the opinion of the commander of the Itagaki Division, then this time we should concentrate on command of the armored troops? I see that this task was proposed by the commander of the Itagaki Division, why not let the commander of the Itagaki Division come to command Fujita Jin and said with a smile. Obviously, he also agreed with Seishiro Itagaki's opinion.

Commander of Fujita Division, I can take on this task. This time, the mechanized armored troops of our four divisions and a brigade were gathered. Their strength is unprecedentedly strong. However, I would like to ask all the division commanders, which of the three gates in the south and north, which city gate is relatively weak, and I ask Seishiro Itagaki asked the weakest one. I think it should be the North City Gate. After we broke through the first line of defense last time, although they were heavily repaired and added some circular fortifications, they were the most promising to take it down. Fujita Jin thought about it and said, "Okay, then position the North City Gate. Now our location is at the East City Gate. I think I can gather troops to the North City Gate now. The entire North City Gate is left to our Itagaki Division to attack Itagaki Seishiro said firmly, as if he had seen victory in his eyes.

Fujita Jin and others did not object. It was embarrassing to calculate the wrong day this time. Unexpectedly, the guy Hata Mitsuya did not remind them that the Itagaki Division had the entire armored force, and the combat effectiveness of the Itagaki Division was stronger than that of other divisions. Then the remaining three divisions and one brigade were divided into two parts to attack Tongcheng.

Fujita Jin also knew that it seemed that there were only a large number of people, but in fact, he was not as confident as Shishiro Itagaki. Fujita Jin attributed to one thing that he had never experienced setbacks. Like these division commanders, they had suffered a crushing defeat under the 318th Army.

Of course, Fujita Jin thought that if Itagaki Seishiro could take down the North City Gate, it would be the best thing. But if something unexpected happened, Fujita Jin would never be surprised because the 318th Army surprised him too many times. Fujita Jin is just treating this war with a peaceful attitude. It is really a taboo to fight such a difficult opponent with a quick success and instant benefits.

The defenders of Tongcheng watched the Japanese army go back and forth for a day. They originally wanted to deal with the Japanese attack, but the Japanese were so good. They were going back and forth like playing on stage, which made the defenders of Tongcheng very depressed, but in the end they also received some useful news, that is, large-scale tanks and tanks began to move towards the north gate.

Wang Mingyu, who received the news, immediately called Wu Peilin in the conference room. Wang Mingyu knew that the little Japanese was targeting the North City Gate.
