June 2
Under the order of Yamashita Ning, the 6th Fuso Division advanced to Quan City in Shanxi Province first.
Five grenades, three heavy machine guns, and three mortars, this is the configuration of an infantry platoon of the 6th Fuso Division.
Four to five Type 92 infantry guns, ten heavy machine guns, and five field guns, this is the equipment of a Japanese battalion.
Five Type 41 field guns and eight anti-tank guns, this is the configuration of a Fuso regiment.
In addition to these, the 6th Fuso Division also has twenty 105mm howitzers and fifty 75mm mountain cannons.
Of course, their rifle configuration has reached 100%.
Yamashita Ning's idea is very simple, that is, to capture Hara City with the help of the Sixth Division.
original city.
Chen Fang, commander of the Second Army of the Northwest Army, was looking at the map inside the headquarters.
At this time, Xu Jiang, chief of staff of the Second Group Army, walked in and said directly: "Commander, there is news. Yamashita Ning has ordered the Fuso Sixth Division to enter Quan City, Jin Province."
"Where are they now?" Chen Fang asked, staring at the location of Quan City carefully.
"We have arrived at Hongjiashan." Xu Jiang walked to the map and pointed to a location.
"You're moving so fast. We've already arrived at Hongjiashan in just a short time." Chen Fang said with some surprise.
"Commander, according to investigations, Fuso's Sixth Division and Ninth Division are complete mechanized troops, and they have the strongest combat effectiveness among the divisions in the Yan Kingdom."
"I know that. By the way, is there no news about the Ninth Division?" Chen Fang raised his head and asked.
"There is currently no news. Only the Sixth Division has been dispatched."
"Yes." Chen Fang nodded and said, "The Fuso Army will arrive at Tuligou soon. No matter what, it is impossible for one of our troops there to stop the Fuso Army's attack." Chen Fang said calmly.
"Commander, should we send troops to support you?" Xu Jiang asked seriously.
Chen Fang shook his head: "The commander ordered us to defend the original province. I cannot mobilize the troops in the original province under any circumstances."
"Then what should we do, Commander? We have no more troops to divide."
"Immediately send a report to Liu Chang, telling Liu Chang that our unit is about to start a battle with the Fusang Sixth Division, and ask his First Army to prepare for support."
"It's the commander!"
…
Midtown.
"Commander, the Second Army just sent a telegram that Fuso's Sixth Division has entered Quan City." Qian Zhong, chief of staff of the First Army of the Northwest Army, said to a middle-aged man next to him.
And this middle-aged man is Liu Chang, commander of the First Group Army.
"It seems that the first battle between the Second Army and Fusang will start in Tuligou." Liu Chang said with his hands behind his back.
"Commander, there is only one corps of the Second Army in Tuligou, but Fusang is sending out the 6th Division. No matter what we say, we can't stop it." Qian Zhong said with a frown.
As soon as Qian Zhong finished speaking, the correspondent walked in.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, urgent call from the Second Army."
Qian Zhong took the telegram, read it and handed it to Liu Chang: "Commander Chen wants reinforcements."
Liu Chang looked at it and then put the telegram on the table: "I originally wanted to use the First Army to attack Fuso's flanks, but Fuso's Ninth Division has not moved yet. I don't know what Yamashita Ning is thinking."
"Commander, are you afraid that the Ninth Division will attack Zhongcheng after you mobilize the First Army?" Qian Zhong asked.
"Yes, if that's the case, then there will be a gap in the pockets I arranged."
Liu Chang sighed, he didn't know what to do.
"Commander, I think we should move and transfer the First Army to Tuligou and the Fourth Army to encircle the Ninth Division in Fusang. Even if the Ninth Division comes to attack Zhongcheng, we still have two armies here. Two armies can’t stand it for a while?”
"As long as the two armies can withstand it, then we and the Fourth Army will successfully encircle Fuso's Ninth Division in a roundabout way, right?"
Qian Zhong's plan was perfect, but what he didn't expect was that his plan would be very useful against enemies of comparable strength. But were Fuso's Sixth Division and Sixth Division ordinary troops?
"What you said makes sense. No matter how powerful Fuso is, it will only use one division to fight our two armies. Even if it is worse than them, it is not much different." Liu Chang waved his hand. He already thought that Fuso Army was very powerful. Troops.
"Commander, give the order." Qian Zhong stood at attention and waited for the order.
"Order the First Army to prepare for battle. Once the battle in Tuligou begins, the First Army must quickly dispatch troops to encircle Fusang's Sixth Division with the Fourth Army. After the First Army leaves Xigua Village, it must attack the Second Army in Zhongcheng. The corps quickly reached the position of the 1st Corps to prevent the 9th Division's attack."
"Yes, Commander!" Qian Zhong saluted and then retreated.
…
Eighty kilometers away from Tuligou, Fuso's Sixth Division is advancing rapidly. Their force is a fully militarized force and can advance quickly as long as the road is relatively flat.
Next to the long queue was a slow-moving jeep.
Yamada River, commander of the Fuso Sixth Division, is closing his eyes to rest.
"General, a large number of Fuso troops have been discovered at Tujiagou ahead. Do we have a plan?"
Jun Yoshikawa, chief of staff of the Sixth Division, asked from the side.
Yamada River slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "That should be the Fourth Army of the Northwest Army."
"should be."
Yamadagawa turned his head and looked back, and then asked: "Where is our air power?"
"It has already taken off from the base. It will take up to three hours to reach the Northwest Army's Tuligou position."
"Three hours..." Yamadagawa raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: "Order the troops to advance at full speed. They must reach five kilometers away from the Tuligou position within three hours."
"Yes, General!" Yoshikawa Jun immediately jumped out of the car and ran to the rear.
…
Tuligou position rear headquarters.
"Commander, the four lines of defense we deployed in Tuligou have been completed, and the Fuso Army is now less than a hundred miles away from us."
Sun Wu, chief of staff of the Fourth Army, said.
"The commander has just sent a telegram. Once we start a war with the Fuso Army, the First Army of the First Army will come to us and jointly encircle the Fuso Army. He told the brothers to hold on until the First Army arrives. " said Chen Liang, commander of the Fourth Army.
"Don't worry, Commander, no matter how powerful Fuso is, our Fourth Army will definitely be able to withstand the arrival of the First Army."
"Well..." Chen Liang nodded, then picked up the telescope on the table and walked outside.
"Come on, come with me to see the position."
"good!"
Chen Liang and Sun Wuyi came out of the headquarters one after another. They had just walked two steps when they heard the roar of an airplane in the distance.
"No, it's Fuso's plane."
"hidden!"
"They all hid in the trenches."
"hidden!"
"quick!"
…
