Chapter 629: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (2) Xiaoye 2pi has a poisonous plan to get involved in
Ono behaved very respectfully and waited for Hayata Chixian to express his opinion.
"Ono-kun, since we have to fight this battle, we must strive for the greatest victory.
So why don't we directly enter the battle line from the north?
In that case, we can wipe out the 300,000 national troops in Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop.
In this way, the Chinese army's resistance will be greatly undermined.
Their morale will also drop to the freezing point, which will play a key role in facilitating the surrender of the capital's attendants' room."
Ono: “General Hayata, I also have concerns about why I chose to give up attacking the northern line.
One reason was because of Deng Beihou’s Sichuan Army and Major General Xie’s 207th Division.
Their resolute attitude in resisting the Imperial Army was also well-known among all Chinese troops.
Another thing is that they are well-equipped and well-trained, and have the support of the guerrilla division.
I am also afraid that if we fail to take down these troops for the time being, it will delay our progress in annihilating the Central Army."
The commander of the 125th Division, Yoshitani, said, "Ono-kun, General Hayata has a reason why he wants to take over the Nationalist troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.
One reason is that these troops had the highest enthusiasm for anti-Japanese resistance, so they took this opportunity to get rid of them.
One was the Nationalist Army’s Minister of Defense, who took a stupid defensive measure.
He reduced the depth of defense in Zhongtiao Mountain and instead adopted traditional long trench defense.
In this way, we only need to break through a little, or directly penetrate and cross their defense line.
As long as we launch an attack from behind the Nationalist Army, all its units will surely begin to retreat across the board, just like before."
Ono looked at the other division commanders, all of whom looked eager to try.
He knew that they had already discussed it with Hayata and they all had the same idea.
Ono is content and grateful. All he has to do now is to do his duty.
He came to the map and examined it carefully with a magnifying glass for ten minutes before he looked up again.
“Sir Hayata, if you want to fight like this, you must strike hard and strike firmly.
Can command an elite division, plus an armored squadron.
They headed straight for Dayugou, the junction of the Sichuan Army and the guerrilla division, and pushed all the way to the end.
As long as the main force of the division arrives there, it will be equivalent to crossing the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line.
The division then advanced directly southward, blasting the Sichuan Army out of the trenches from the side.
Use the retreating Sichuan Army to defeat the Central Army on the southern front.
By then, without the protection of cover, the Chinese troops would be like fat lambs, allowing the Imperial Army to slaughter them at will.
After these 300,000 nationalist troops are wiped out, we will be able to free up our hands to attack the anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi.
My suggestion is that if the assault on the Sichuan Army is successful, ignore the harassment from the guerrilla division behind.
Push the Sichuan Army towards the male line at all costs.
As long as we attack fast enough and the guerrilla division finds that they cannot change the situation, their attack will naturally stop.
However, if my attack on the Sichuan Army's flank is blocked, I must immediately retreat from Dayu Valley.
Otherwise, this division would be in danger of being wiped out.
Even at the last moment, we wiped out the 200,000 national troops on the southern front.
Then the loss of an entire division would make this great victory not worth it.
Only by achieving the greatest victory at the lowest cost can you reassure His Majesty the Emperor."
Amid the passionate slogans of "Long live the Emperor of Japan", Ono's battle plan was considered to have been completed.
At ten o'clock that evening, Tomohiro Hayata cited confidentiality as the reason and did not consult Yoshio Shinozuka.
He directly launched an all-out attack on the Nationalist troops stationed on the north and south defense lines of Zhongtiao Mountain.
No one expected that in early May when the moon was high in the sky, the Japanese would actually take action secretly.
Tomokazu Hayata transported the four field divisions under the nose of the National Army.
This time, under the strong request of Ono Erpi, the Japanese soldiers really went into the mountains quietly without firing any guns.
Except for the Yoshitani Division which remained on hold for the time being, the other three divisions of the Japanese began to make their move.
Each division dispatched its most elite scouts to eliminate the Kuomintang's visible and covert sentries along the way.
After the Kuomintang sentries changed their shifts at nine o'clock, they had to wait until eleven o'clock before changing shifts again.
Just like that, before half past ten in the evening, the three Japanese divisions were advancing steadily.
They had already moved to the Kuomintang position, less than a hundred meters away.
The military discipline of the national army has always been lax.
Ever since the Japs' elite divisions all withdrew from North China, the sentries have been doing their job perfunctorily.
Although these national troops are useless, fortunately the mines produced by the arsenal still show an unextinguished desire to resist Japan and serve the country.
With a loud bang, the mine in front of the Kuomintang position exploded.
Through the fire caused by the mine explosion in front of the position, the Kuomintang sentry finally discovered the densely packed Japanese soldiers in front of the position.
With a hoarse cry of "enemy attack", the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain finally started as scheduled.
Along with the sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, and explosions, flares of various colors were fired into the night sky.
As soon as the troops of the Yoshitani Division saw that the time had come, they immediately used the six small tanks of the armored squadron as the spearhead and headed straight for Dayu Valley.
They were trying to divide the battlefield and wipe out all the 300,000 Nationalist troops in Zhongtiao Mountain in one go.
If Song Wenwan was present at this time, she would have to praise him.
This Xiaoye Erpi really learned all his tactics.
The Japanese army could not defend against this kind of surprise attack tactic, let alone the National Army's thin defense line.
That very night, soldiers from an artillery company, escorted by a battalion of the Artillery Marine Brigade.
They were preparing to cross the passage of Dayu Valley and enter the defense zone of Sichuan Army Commander Fan Haer.
Because the Sichuan Army's defense line was moved forward, they did not have three lines of defense like the Central Army, and they lacked depth behind them.
If the Japanese attack, deploy tanks and armored forces.
It is very likely that their defense line can be broken through with a single charge.
So he privately found Suo Wuxing and asked him if there was any way he could help.
Suo Wuxing gave him an idea, which was to ask him to dig a few more trenches behind him as a backup.
If the Japanese attack him, he can rely on multiple lines of defense to delay the Japanese attack.
Another thing is that Suo Wuxing secretly supported an artillery company of the Sichuan Army.
That is twenty RBG-7 rocket launchers and one hundred rockets.
By then, even if the Japanese sent a tank battalion, they would be able to deal with it easily.
Don’t look at their current positions, they are less than two kilometers away from each other.
However, according to the regulations of the guerrilla division, the artillery marine division still sent out a battalion to escort them into the Sichuan Army's defense zone.
Originally, the main positions of both sides were next to each other, but this defense minister wanted to disgust the Sichuan Army.
He forced the Sichuan Army to move its positions forward, which created a huge gap between the two armies.
Captain Li of the artillery company used his flashlight to draw two circles across the valley.
The flashlight on the other side also lit up, responding to Captain Li with three long and two short signals.
Lieutenant Li shook Captain Zhao's hand and said, "Thank you, Captain Zhao, it's only two miles away.
And we asked you to escort us across the road in the middle of the night, which delayed your rest."
