Chapter 376 Thirteen 115 divisions?
What is stable, what is calm, what is the posture of an imperial officer, completely forget about it.

Itagaki Seishiro only wants one thing now, to rescue the No.20 [-]st Brigade reinforcements.

God Amaterasu, he never imagined that the "good news" he was looking forward to in his heart would turn out to be like this - the number of casualties in a single battle reached [-], and he was completely surrounded by the enemy, facing the threat of annihilation of the entire army!

shocking!

unimaginable!

You know, only one hour has passed since the last telegram of the reinforcements, that is to say, in a very short period of time, the reinforcements of the No. 20 Brigade lost 1000 people.

A single battle, a very short period of time, [-] artillery pieces, all kinds of characteristics all show that this Chinese army with the battle number of the Northeast Army has extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

Takeshi Sakurada acted as quickly as possible and notified the Army Aviation Unit of Nanyuan Airport.

"If the reinforcements are wiped out..." Itagaki Seishiro suddenly realized the severity of the situation on the battlefield, thinking of the consequences of the reinforcements being wiped out in his mind, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The situation on the battlefield will affect the whole body. If the reinforcements are wiped out, it will have a non-negligible impact on the ongoing Shanxi operation. The reason is very simple. The No. 20 Brigade is not affiliated to the Chahar Mengjiang that attacked Yanmen Pass Corps, but served as the main force to attack Pingxingguan.

Once the reinforcements are lost, not only the 21th Division itself will suffer heavy losses, but it will also mean that the offensive rhythm of the Pingxingguan Battle will be broken. direction to retreat.

And this is tantamount to declaring the defeat of the Pingxingguan Battle!

No!

Can't let this happen!

Although the Fifth Division still has sufficient combat power to reorganize the second Pingxingguan Battle, Itagaki Seishiro is absolutely unwilling to lose the current offensive rhythm, so that the Jinsui Army can get a respite and more preparation time.

Also, apart from the short-term military defeat, Itagaki and the Fifth Division are bound to bear the pressure from the political field. No one can bear the consequences of four thousand imperial warriors.

With the No.20 [-]st Brigade's reinforcements in a state of total annihilation, the Japanese troops around Lingqiu seemed to have blown up their nests. They gave up their current tactical tasks and rushed to Qiaogou. The police commanded by Hideki Tojo The Harmony Corps even dispatched an independent brigade to help Pingxingguan.

The sky is blue and clear, and the land of northern Shanxi is completely new after the rain.

In Wutai County, a farmer's courtyard, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's highest command center is located here.

The main room is filled with the sound of radio operation and reception, and the atmosphere is serious and dignified. The entire headquarters operates at the highest efficiency, processing various combat information from the frontline troops in real time.

The boss's face was full of solemnity, with a pair of eyes like the scorching sun, he stared at the situation map of the enemy and us in the Pingxingguan sand table, and raised his watch to check the time.

9:30 am.

"I don't know how the 115th division is doing..." The boss whispered and thought.

"Boss, the little devil seems to be crazy. The comrades in the north reported that the Japanese Army Air Corps at Nanyuan Airport took off nine bombers again. In addition, the Japanese army in Ying County was mobilized, and about an independent brigade marched towards Hunyuan. It is possible to reinforce Pingxingguan, this is the second round of reinforcements.” At this time, the chief of staff came quickly, holding a newly compiled battlefield intelligence in his hand: “More troops than the first round of reinforcements.”

The Japanese army’s first round of reinforcements consisted of three directions: a regiment in Laiyuan, a regiment in Hunyuan, a tank squadron in Yuxian, and four fighter jets at Nanyuan Airport. The estimated strength was around [-].

Such a scale of troops is terrifying, but it is insignificant compared to the current second round of troop increase. In Ying County, an entire independent brigade with tens of thousands of Japanese troops marched towards Pingxingguan, and nine bombers took off from Nanyuan Airport .

Today, the total reinforcement strength of the Japanese army has reached 1.6.

"It seems that the 115th Division beat up these little devils. Otherwise, the little devils would not be so anxious. They really beat the children and called them mothers and fathers. Unfortunately, I don't have enough troops. If there are enough troops, Pingxingguan is a small Devil's Eastern Verdun meat grinder." Hearing the news, the boss stretched his brows slightly and then wrinkled again, he had already processed the information in his mind, and his words were slightly sighed and regretted.

With the Japanese reinforcements so frenzied, it is not difficult to guess the situation on both sides of the Qiaogou battlefield. There is no doubt that the 115th Division hurt the little devil, the kind of pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to turn Pingxingguan into the Japanese army's Eastern Verdun meat grinder is a bold and imaginative battle idea conceived by the boss.

With the 115th Division and the Japanese reinforcements as the core, other troops were dispatched to encircle and attack reinforcements, which continued to consume the active forces of the Japanese reinforcements from all directions, weakened the overall strength of the Japanese army in turn, and finally caused the Japanese army in Shanxi to lose its strategic offensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, imagination is always imagination.

Although the Pingxingguan area can fully support this combat concept, the boss has a serious shortage of troops on hand. If he wants to consume the overall strength of nearly 115 Japanese troops, if calculated based on the combat effectiveness of the 115 divisions, at least thirteen [-] divisions are needed. .

Where did he go to find the thirteen 115 divisions?
Ideas can only be shelved.

"There will be. I believe we will have more and more troops in the future. How do we arrange it now?" The chief of staff smiled and continued.

"Although the battle situation is beneficial to us, if we continue to drag it down, we will only fall into the quagmire, and we will not even be able to get out. The main combat goal of blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army has been achieved, and the complete annihilation of the enemy is no longer possible. My idea is to actively retreat and preserve the vitality." The boss. He pondered and said.

Starting from the current combat situation, the 115th Division has completely taken the initiative in the entire battle and completed the main combat goal of blocking the Japanese reinforcements. Facing the Japanese reinforcements of 1.6 in two rounds, as well as the threat of the Army Aviation Bomber Force, and the lack of Friendly forces assist in combat, choosing to retreat actively is the best choice.

Continue to fight hard, it is possible, but it is not necessary.

Most of the troops of the 115th Division come from Red One veterans, and the boss can't bear to let these precious veterans be wasted under the bombing of Japanese aircraft.

"If you take advantage, you must learn to hold back. I agree with taking the initiative to retreat." The chief of staff nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then tell the 115th Division about the second round of Japanese reinforcements. The Japanese bombers flew from Nanyuan to Qiaogou for about an hour and a half. They must withdraw from the battlefield after an hour." The boss made a decision and ordered.

The Japanese Army Aviation Corps is mainly equipped with the Type 220 heavy bomber. This bomber has a maximum flight speed of 180 kilometers per hour and a regular flight speed of 250 kilometers per hour. It can carry [-] tons of aerial bombs. It is about [-] kilometers from Nanyuan to Qiaogou. Take off and air formation, etc. take time, at most one and a half hours, the Japanese Type [-] bomber fleet will arrive in the sky over Qiaogou.

The bomb capacity of a single plane is 13.5 tons, and the bomb capacity of nine planes is 115 tons. The bombing force is quite terrible. The boss does not want the [-]th Division to taste the taste of this aerial bomb meal.

Evacuate!

Take the initiative to evacuate!

Today, inspired by the idea of ​​defending the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant against the Japanese aircraft bombing, the Eighth Route Army's understanding of the Japanese Army Aviation Unit and its ability to collect battlefield information are far higher than in history.

Through the reconnaissance of the comrades in the north who were stationed near Beiping Nanyuan Airport, as long as the Japanese aircraft took off, the headquarters would receive the news as soon as possible.

As for the various types of aircraft equipped by the Japanese aviation force, they also have a basic understanding and cognition through various channels.

The bombing by Japanese planes may seem terrifying, but as long as you master the opponent's habits, it is actually no different from a paper tiger.
