PFC Chapter 251
Chapter 251
He had learned in detail about the fate of the 14th Division from the telegram sent to him by Kenji Doihara.
A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers whose light and heavy firepower are not inferior to the Locust Army, plus there are countless densely packed tunnels under the plains. Even if the Fifth Division is very powerful, it will be difficult to find the main force and annihilate it.
When the locust army marched onto the road, there was no telling when several bombs would fall from the sky.
Who can stand this along the way?
Moreover, Itagaki Seishirō has not figured out how to deal with this sneak attack.
The locust army had previously chased the Eighth Route Army into the tunnels dug by them.
Either they stepped into a trap, or they got lost and were surrounded by the damn Eighth Route Army and never got out.
They thought of pouring water into the tunnel to seal out the smoke, but after a while, someone came out from another opening to attack the locust army.
Some of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who attacked the Locust Army even showed no moral integrity and simply set up their machine guns and fired at the Locust Army on the road before disappearing without a trace.
Thinking of this, Itagaki Seishirō suddenly felt irritated.
At some point, the invincible locust army was defeated by a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers.
After complaining, Itagaki Seishirō reluctantly led the 5th Division south to join the 14th Division.
Itagaki Seishirō was so angry that he was furious along the way.
The encounter was basically the same as what the 14th Division had encountered before.
After arriving at Guanglu and meeting with the 14th Division, Itagaki Seishirō thoroughly understood the details of the 14th Division's previous combat. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally came up with a solution.
Considering that the troops were scattered, they could easily be defeated one by one by the Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnels on the plains.
So after discussing with the 14th Division, Seishirō Itagaki decided to send the 14th Division's auxiliary troops directly to the surrounding areas.
The surveillance distance along the way was directly extended to within five miles.
In this way, even if the Eighth Route Army launches a surprise attack on the Locust Army within this range, they can directly use grenade launchers to bomb the place where the attack is taking place.
The whole method had only one purpose, which was to prevent the Eighth Route Army from coming out of the exit again to attack the locust army's artillery positions and other camps.
At the same time, the entire division formed an iron wall and advanced directly towards Anyang.
After Itagaki Seishirō's order was issued, the 5th Division and the 14th Division began to join forces and began to attack Guanglu's Eighth Route Army positions in front.
After the arrival of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Itagaki Seishirō decided to send the 1st Cavalry Brigade directly to the periphery as a mobile force.
Once a large force of the Eighth Route Army appears, they will bite and entangle it directly, and then the main force of the division will return to support and eat it up.
Afterwards, Itagaki Seishirō began to command his troops to attack the Eighth Route Army positions.
Beiyue District.
As the Japanese 110th Division lost two battalions in Quyang in the early stage, then under the order of Sugiyama Gen, the 110th Division moved forward from Baoding to Quyang in large numbers.
Under the command of Commander Huang and others, the Japanese army was gradually lured from Quyang to Fuping area.
At the same time, with the intentional help of other Eighth Route Army troops in the Beiyue area, Japanese troops from other directions gradually advanced into the mountainous area by relying on the dangerous terrain and various intersecting tunnels.
Among them, the two regiments of the 109th Division located in the Wutai area were led around the entire Wutai mountain area by the remaining six regiments of Commander Yang's First Military Sub-district when they left Wutai and attacked the Beiyue District base.
Then they seized the opportunity and ambushed and attacked their old rival, the 136th Regiment, through various means, resulting in only one battalion of troops left in the 136th Regiment, which hurriedly retreated to Dai County.
Another regiment participating in the encirclement and suppression was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army after entering Yantou Township. Relying on the dangerous terrain from Yantou to Wutai Mountain, the entire regiment was forced into a dilemma of advancing or retreating in the entire mountainous area.
