If Xie Tian was in front of Okamura Neiji at this time, he promised to tell Okamura Neiji: Grandson, you think too much, only the fish dies without breaking the net. I am the net, and you are the fish, turtle, which is called turtle in China. Old bastard.
It's a pity that Xie Tian doesn't have time now.
According to the battle plan adjusted by Xie Tian for Fu Zuoyi, the Seventh Army assembled heavy troops to storm Yanggao County and successfully transferred the two infantry regiments of the Qiaomu Brigade stationed in Datong out of Datong City.
At the Suishi Camp at the foot of the Great Wall, Hashimoto's brigade was tenaciously blocked by the 61st Army of the Seventh Army.
Seeing Fu Zuoyi's style of play, Hashimoto Tsuhito, the head of the Hashimoto Brigade, smiled.
This is a typical encirclement and reinforcement strategy. Fu Zuoyi took the wrong medicine. He actually wanted to block the progress of my two infantry regiments with one corps in this narrow plain area.
Fu Zuoyi's 61st Army has a full strength of 15,000 combatants. In fact, the 61st Army only has more than 4,000 combatants. The sign is quite large, but it is actually a reinforced regiment.
It is common practice for the Jinsui Army troops to have empty pay, and Fu Zuoyi is no exception.
In fact, it is not just the case of the Shanxi-Sui Army. Basically, all the units in the battle order of the National Army are in the situation of empty pay. Repeated bans are repeated, and the more the ban becomes more rampant, some divisions are even empty-headed divisions. A division commander with three or five orderlies dares to Put up the sign of Division XXX.
In the order of battle of the National Army, only the Eighth Route Army does not receive free pay. The reason is very simple. The Military Commission will never allocate military pay to the 18th Group Army. No matter how beautiful the roster is, you will not get any money, let alone the Eighth Route Army. According to the instructions of superiors, they deliberately concealed their strength. Li Yunlong's independent regiment had more than 7,000 people, but there were only more than 1,000 people on the roster reported to the Military Commission.
Now Fu Zuoyi's 61st Army, with more than 4,000 people, is about to block the two infantry regiments of Hashimoto's brigade from supporting Yanggao County. It is no wonder that Hashimoto Tsering is laughing.
A full infantry regiment of the Japanese army has 3,818 men, and is also equipped with three Type 94 tanks and a cavalry squadron.
The strength of an infantry regiment is equivalent to that of Fu Zuoyi's army, and the weapons and equipment are more than one level higher than Fu Zuoyi's troops.
What's more, there are now two infantry regiments.
Although the Hashimoto Brigade is only a Category B combat unit in the Japanese army's order of battle, it only has fewer cavalry than the Category A combat unit. Moreover, Datong is very mountainous, and the cavalry does not have much use.
Hashimoto Tsering did not take Fu Zuoyi's 61st Army seriously at all. He directly ordered two infantry regiments to charge towards the 61st Army's position, intending to overwhelm Fu Zuoyi's 61st Army with one charge.
With six Type 94 tanks leading the charge, Fu Zuoyi's 61st Army was simply vulnerable in the eyes of Hashimoto Tsering.
As a result, Hashimoto Tsering never expected that his troops had just launched a charge and a row of mortars suddenly came from the 61st Army position.
Seeing more than a dozen artillery shells exploding around him, Hashimoto Tsering was also a little confused.
Only mortars with a caliber of 60 mm or above have such a long range. When did Fu Zuoyi's Seventh Army equip mortars with a caliber above 60 mm?
And there’s more than one.
Fortunately, it seems that the 61st Army only has a dozen mortars of 60 mm or above. These dozen mortars cannot scare Hashimoto Tsering.
Under the order of Tsering Hashimoto, two Japanese infantry regiments simultaneously launched a group charge towards the 61st Army position.
On the 61st Army position, Fu Zuoyi held a telescope and observed the Japanese troops rushing in like a tide behind six Type 94 tanks. His scalp was numb and he couldn't help but raise his telescope to look at the southern sky.
As for the air support we agreed on, Xie Baoqing, you can't cheat me.
Hashimoto Tsering was also observing the battlefield situation with a telescope in the temporary command post set up by the engineers. He was still confident in fighting Fu Zuoyi. The two sides had been dealing with each other for several years, and they already knew each other's tactics well.
In fact, speaking of it, Hashimoto Tsering and Fu Zuoyi both have quite satisfactory playing styles. After playing together for so many years, they have even become somewhat sympathetic to each other. If Fu Zuoyi asked him to sit down and have a drink with him, I am afraid he would not refuse. He could even invite Fu Zuoyi to watch. The famous kabuki performance of the Japanese Empire.
At this time, Hashimoto Tsering's attendant quickly grabbed the telegram from the telegraph operator on the side and ran to Hashimoto Tsering and shouted: "Report, Commander Okamura Neiji personally returns the call."
"read"
Without looking back, Hashimoto Tsering was still holding his binoculars to observe the enemy's situation. At this time, his troops had crossed the dry creek and were charging towards Fu Zuoyi's position on the slope across the river. From time to time, mortar shells would be fired by Fu Zuoyi. Falling into a group of soldiers will cause certain casualties to the charging soldiers, but with such a large base of soldiers, these casualties can basically be ignored.
The key is to see the fighting situation between the two sides within the rifle range. Hashimoto Tsering believed that Fu Zuoyi's troops would collapse under the impact of six Type 94 tanks.
This has been the case in previous battles with Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi once ordered the troops to dig traps to deal with tanks. I wonder what tricks Fu Zuoyi will play this time.
But no matter what tricks Fu Zuoyi plays, Hashimoto Tsering is confident in defeating Fu Zuoyi.
At this time, Hashimoto Tsering's attendant read quickly: "Commander Okamura orders: Do not assemble the troops, do not assemble the troops, do not assemble the troops."
The aide ordered the troops not to assemble three times in a row. Hashimoto Tsering thought he heard wrongly. He put down his telescope in surprise and snatched the telegraph newspaper from the aide. He cursed in his heart, what nonsense? How can we fight without the troops gathering? ? Do you need to recite it to me three times?
As a result, Hashimoto Tsering lowered his head and saw that there were only these words written on the telegraph newspaper: Don't assemble the troops, don't assemble the troops, don't assemble the troops.
Hashimoto Tsering's head was buzzing and he was suddenly confused.
what's going on?
Commander Okamura ordered our troops not to assemble. Did the telegraph operator misinterpret it?
It is said that the Japanese army's telegraph code during the Anti-Japanese War was so stupid that it was used continuously for a year without changing it. It was not much different from clear code power generation. This was to bully the Chinese army's backwardness in the field of radio.
Hashimoto Tsering was stunned for a moment and ordered to the attendant: "His Excellency, Commander of Xianggang Village, call back and verify the contents of the telegram."
"Hi~"
The attendant himself was confused. He also thought that the content of Neji Okamura's reply was wrong.
At this moment, the ear-piercing sound of a plane tearing through the air suddenly came from the sky.
Hashimoto Tsering was startled. He hurriedly put down the telegraph newspaper and quickly grabbed the telescope and looked at the sky. He thought to himself, I didn't call for air support, so where did the planes in the sky come from?
In the sky, three Zero fighter jets were swooping down. Without exception, all three fighter jets had a huge bomb hung under their belly.
Hashimoto Tsering quickly adjusted the focus of the telescope, his scalp numbed, and he finally saw the painting on the plane clearly.
The flag of the People's Liberation Army is Xie Baoqing's Air Force! ! !
