Chapter 566 Treating others with their own way!
Heyuan County.

Headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army.

Motoji Okada, head of the 33rd Brigade, and Saburo Miura, head of the 8th Brigade, were called from the front for a meeting.

Battle room.

Frontline Commander Moritake Tanabe, 10th Division Commander Ishikawa Jiro, 10th Division Chief of Staff, and two brigade leaders attended the meeting.

As for the captains of the various regiments, they did not come to the meeting, because once the Xinyi regiment launched a counterattack during the meeting, the Japanese army would fall into a situation where the dragons would have no leader to fight on their own.

Ishikawa Jiro glanced at Okada Motoji and Miura Saburo, and said in a deep voice:

"According to the analysis of the Division Department, in the next few days, the Xinyi Regiment will launch a full-scale counterattack against our 10th Division!"

Motoji Okada and Saburo Miura looked at each other when they heard the words, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

The mentality of the two of them has undergone earth-shaking changes during the attack on the Xinyi regiment in the past ten days.

From the arrogance and arrogance at the beginning, to the fact that Xinyituan was regarded as an opponent at the same level as the 10th Division, to the seriousness on his face now.

Major General Okada Motoji, head of the 33rd Brigade, looked at the Lijiazhen position that could not be attacked for a long time, and even sighed: It is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the new ones.

"That couldn't be better!" Okada Motoji was shocked, his eyes brightened, "Our 10th Division may not be able to attack the new regiment's position, but if it is a defensive battle, it will definitely make Li Yunlong feel what despair is."

Under the same firepower, of course, the offensive side will suffer a little, and the defensive side will have some advantages.

Although the Eighth Route New First Regiment has an advantage in firepower, compared with the 10th Division, it has a disadvantage in terms of strength.

For example, the supply unit and the engineering unit will also go into battle when necessary, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the infantry unit of the second-line division.

This was offset back and forth, and in Major General Okada Motoji's view, the 10th Division was evenly matched with the New Division.

To defeat the 10th Division, the Xinyi Regiment does not have the strength.

Miura Sanlang is also confident in his tone: "Mr. Okada is right. The reason why we have been unable to attack the new regiment of the Eighth Route for a long time is mainly because we cannot break through the tunnel and reverse slope tactics of the Eighth Route. The advantages will disappear, and the firepower and individual quality of our 10th Division will be brought into play, and we will definitely be able to give the new regiment a head-on blow!"

The major general of the 8th Brigade had to admire Li Yunlong at this time.

Although he was an enemy, he couldn't help but Miura Saburo's admiration for Li Yunlong.

According to intelligence, Li Yunlong had never been to a military academy, not even a decent school, and he was a farmer with mud legs.

But it is such a little-known little person who has such a high tactical command ability, and invented tunnel and reverse slope tactics that are difficult to crack.

Tunnel and reverse slope tactics first appeared in the battle of Baozi Mountain. A battalion of the Xinyi Regiment withstood the attack of most of the 3rd Brigade.

And now the Xinyi Regiment once again used the tactics of tunnels and reverse slopes to resist the attack of the 10th Division.

"Yo Xi!"

Seeing that Motoji Okada and Saburo Miura are both confident, Division Chief Ishikawa Jiro nodded with satisfaction.

Motoji Okada suddenly said worriedly: "The new regiment has tanks and large-caliber heavy artillery, and the locust army can still withstand one or two. If the Eighth Route calls for air support, our 10th division may not be able to stop the attack of the new regiment."

Miura Saburo heard the words, and the expression on his face became more dignified.

During the airdrop of the Eighth Route Army yesterday, he lost more than 5 people just because of the dive attack of 200 fighter jets.

This is only the lethality of 5 fighter jets, and the bombers are coming, so how much lethality will it cause?

The 108th Artillery Regiment was completely annihilated under a single bombing by an enemy plane, and Saburo Miura did not want the 8th Brigade to be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, when the new regiment received another airdrop during the day, Miura Saburo strictly ordered the attack.

Once the aid channel behind Li Yunlong is annoyed and dozens of bombers are dispatched, the 8th Brigade may be over.

And now the North China Front Army has no aviation troops, and the 10th Division's air defense firepower is not strong. Once the enemy planes are dispatched, it may be difficult to resist.

So Miura Saburo is most worried about the bomber air support called by the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the most hateful thing is that all the planes of the North China Front Army were lost, and the aerial bombs prepared for this sweeping operation could only be left in the warehouse to eat ashes.

How great would it be if those aerial bombs could fall on the Eighth Route Army?
"Okada-kun, don't worry."

Moritake Tanabe, who has been silent all this time, said:

"According to the analysis of the staff department, Li Yunlong can only call for airdrops in a short period of time, but not for air support."

"That's right!" Ishikawa Erlang nodded in agreement, "With Li Yunlong's character, if he could call in the bomber fleet, he would have launched a counterattack against my 10th Division long ago, and he would never wait until now."

Saburo Miura and Motoji Okada nodded.

This time the ghosts guessed right.

The time CD for Li Yunlong to call for airdrop support is three months. That is to say, if he calls for air support three times today, he can only call for air support again after three months.

Li Yunlong led his troops to kill 4 Japanese major generals and got 4 opportunities to call for air support.

At present, air support has been called 3 times, and the results have been great. Each time, almost one wing of the Japanese army has been killed. It will be more than two months before the next call for air support.

Miura Saburo looked at Ishikawa Jiro and said, "Division Commander, I suggest that we also use tunnel and reverse slope tactics to resist the attack of the new regiment."

"The new regiment has heavy 150mm guns and even tanks."

"Even if anti-battery holes are dug in the trenches, those earthworks alone may not be able to withstand the heavy artillery and tanks of the Eighth Route."

"Miura-kun, be more confident." Ishikawa Erlang said, "It is very likely that the earthworks will not be able to stop the heavy artillery and tanks of the Eight Routes."

"When you first arrived at the division headquarters, I had already ordered the engineering wing to build tunnels and reverse slope fortifications in various defensive positions."

"This time, we will return to ourselves in the same way as others!"

A few days ago, the 10th Division headquarters, which was the offensive side, only expected the new regiment to break through, but did not expect the new regiment to counterattack.

I didn't expect the devils at this level. When building a position, the engineers just built an ordinary civil defense position.

In fact, during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the U.S. military also tried tunnel defense tactics against our army, but they failed to learn the essence and were beaten badly.

Japan is a nation that is good at learning and ambitious. It has sent people to China to study since the Tang Dynasty.

It is not shameful to defeat the enemy with the enemy's tactics, but it is shameful not to defeat the enemy.

Miura Saburo lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, division head, is wise, I admire you!"

"Our defense is divided into two lines of defense."

Ishikawa Jiro pointed to the map on the table and said, Miura Saburo and Okada Motoji stood up and looked at the map.
