Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

According to the feedback from the front-line troops deployed there, the Outer Mongolian cavalry troops have repeatedly crossed the border to carry out forward reconnaissance of our army's defense area during the recent period.This kind of behavior is very abnormal, we should still deal with it in advance! "

'If more troops can be sent to the border, it will inevitably attract the vigilance of the Soviet Far East Army.If the Far East Army also increases its troops to the border, a large-scale military conflict is likely to occur.This is also very unfavorable for us! '

As a resident force stationed in the Northeast, after the Kwantung Army took over the Northeast, their main task was to deal with the surprise attacks of the Far East Army.After all, the country with the greatest interest in the Northeast earlier was undoubtedly the former Tsarist Russian government, which is now renamed the Soviet Union.

Listening to the opinions of these staff officers under his command, Umezai Jimiro finally said: "Just in case, I think it is better to send at least one division of troops to Xing'an territory. That way, it can also effectively deal with possible surprises." hair condition.

Whether it is the Soviet Far East Army or the possible surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army.Adding a division stationed in the Xing'an area can also effectively ensure the safety there.If the Soviets want to attack, we can go to war with them.

Judging from the current domestic news, the situation in Europe is also not stable.I think at this time, the Soviet Union may not dare to engage in a decisive battle with us.Even if we don't want to fight, we must show a tough attitude.

We want the Soviets to know that the Northeast belongs to us and they are not allowed to get involved.If they are still determined, then we must beat them back and let them know how powerful we are! "

As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezai Jimiro is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army.In his opinion, one should not make compromises with the Far East Army just because it might annoy the Soviet Far East Army.

In fact, Masaichi Naito's worries were completely unnecessary.However, this mobilization of troops by Umezai Jimiro really aroused the vigilance and worry of the Outer Mongolian government, and also attracted the attention of the Soviet Far East Army.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, He Zhengdao believes that it is unlikely that the Soviet Union will agree to borrow this kind of thing.Even the temporarily independent Outer Mongolian government did not dare to allow the main force of the Eighth Route Army to enter their defense zone.

As the main force of the No.11 Division gradually approached the vicinity of Xilinhot, the vanguard of the Japanese army finally saw the defensive position built by the First Infantry Division and started a confrontation at the front of the position.

With the interception of the eight-way scout cavalry, the Japanese cavalry also failed to get too close.But the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army were clearly shown in the telescopes of the Japanese cavalry scouts.

When the news was sent back to the headquarters of the division, Masaichi Naito also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, I thought these Eight Routes could really avoid fighting. As long as they don't run away, victory will surely belong to us. "

In Naito Masaichi's view, perhaps they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.But in his opinion, as long as the Eight Routes dare to fight against them, then the victory must belong to them.This is the confidence of the generals of the Kwantung Army!

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army was in front of them, and finally set up a defensive and blocking stance, Naito Masaichi also focused all his attention on the upcoming game between the two armies.In his view, this battle can only be won but not lost.

In the previous battle of Suiyuan, one of the main divisions of their Kwantung Army was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and even captured two Japanese generals. This was regarded as a shame by many Kwantung Army generals.For this reason, they all remembered the independent column and He Zhengdao.

Now, as the intelligence of the Japanese army is gradually being collected, the Kwantung Army already knows that the commander of the Eighth Route Army who raided the Xilin Gol League this time is precisely He Zhengdao and his troops who are regarded as the deadly enemy by the Japanese army.

If Masaichi Naito can defeat the troops commanded by He Zhengdao this time, then he and the No.11 Division will surely become heroes of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese Army.For such an honor, Masaichi Naito, who just took office, naturally looks forward to it.

Fortunately, Masaichi Naito understood that "there is no worthless man under a great reputation", and He Zhengdao was able to achieve so many victories, so he must not be an easy commander to deal with.In this case, he must be more careful and cautious.

After all, until now, he hadn't figured out how many troops the Eighth Route Army had sent to deal with him.

But in the first two days, Masaichi Naito had received a telegram forwarded by the special high school, and a cavalry division of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Duolun had turned to Xilinhot.I think this cavalry division should come to support the Xilinhot defenders.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army also deployed at least one main infantry division and one cavalry division in Duolun.This means that the troops invested by the Eighth Route Army in front of you alone are no less than six main divisions.

It also includes an infantry division and a cavalry division operating in the direction of Zhangbei.It can be said that such a force is also very unexpected in the eyes of the Japanese army.But it can almost be judged that He Zhengdao is also the main force this time.

If the No.11 Division can defeat the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Xilinhot area.Then the Japanese troops gathered in Chifeng and other places at this moment will also form a two-sided attack on the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Duolun.

After all, Naito Masaichi still felt the pressure on the shoulders of the No.11 Division this time.But this kind of pressure often means that once they win, the feats they can get will be beyond their imagination.

'Order the main force of the division to set up camp fifteen kilometers in front of the eight-way blocking position.The cavalry wing was also ordered to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area.In addition, I request the Air Force to strengthen the reconnaissance of the surrounding areas of our department.

Before getting my order, you are not allowed to attack the eight-way defensive position casually.Once it is confirmed that the enemy is defending in front, it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army.Request the headquarters to organize a bomber formation to bomb it. '

After issuing a series of combat orders, Naito Masaichi also began to enter the role of the commander in battle.The dispatch of ground and air force reconnaissance is also to ensure that the main force of the Eighth Route Army will not be ambushed around the main force.

After all, it is very difficult to lay down an ambush in advance when fighting in the grassland area.As long as the Eighth Route has set up a defensive position, it means that they will not be able to leave in a short time, unless they are willing to let the Japanese army approach the city.

Another reason for not rushing to attack is that Masaichi Naito felt that it was necessary to attract more main forces of the Eighth Route Army.In this case, as long as the overall situation is determined by one battle, he will be able to complete his task of going south.

At that time, as long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army is defeated, their divisions will be able to drive straight in and advance their troops to the Suiyuan area controlled by the Eighth Route Army earlier.Such a victory would be more meaningful in the eyes of Masaichi Naito! (To be continued.)

Chapter 49 Armor Camouflage!

As the Japanese army arrived outside the blocking position of the First Infantry Division, this long-awaited battle by the officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Division will undoubtedly start in the near future.The scouts of the First Infantry Division also resolutely fought back against the daily arrival and reconnaissance of the Japanese rangers.

What surprised the officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Division was that after the main force of the Kwantung Army Division arrived, they were not busy attacking, but set up camp and suggested fortifications in a very stable manner.Looking at their posture, it seems that they want to wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack them.

But for the officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Division stationed in the fortifications, they naturally would not easily attack the Japanese camp.For the First Infantry Division, they have only one task, and that is to keep the Japanese army out of position.

As for the Japanese army division that arrived, they would not pay too much attention to how long they wanted to stay on the opposite side.At least the commanders and fighters of the first division knew that the enemy in front of them was not something they could chew down by an infantry division.

In fact, most of the troops currently detected by the Japanese army are troops that He Zhengdao did not cover up much.The two troops led by Chief of Staff Ye Jianying have always maintained a low-key and secret marching route.

Except for some units responsible for reconnaissance, even the commander of the First Infantry Division didn't know where these two units were at the moment.What can be known is that these two troops will participate in the next offensive and defensive battle.

But when to attack and how to attack, the commander of the first division is also unclear.Under such circumstances, even if the Japanese army had intelligence personnel collecting intelligence on the grasslands, it would be even more difficult to collect these two troops.

When the No.11 Division arrived at the outer garrison of the First Infantry Division, it began to deploy defenses and rest on the spot.He Zhengdao, who heard the news, also said in surprise: "It seems that our opponent is very cautious!"

But Ye Jianying who heard this said with a smile: "Commander, it's useless for him to be cautious. He has already fallen into the trap we set. Even if he wants to run, it is probably too late."

'Having said that, we still have to try our best to avoid large-scale casualties during the attack if we can solve this Japanese army division at the lowest cost.Therefore, the next big meal needs to be cooked properly! '

Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese army, in response to the invasion of the No. 11 Division, the Eighth Route Army assembled a main infantry division and a cavalry division.From the perspective of military strength alone, the number of troops of the Eighth Route Army has been surpassed by the No.11 Division.

But from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the main division of the Kwantung Army, known as the strongest Japanese army, has always felt that they can deal with at least one army of three main divisions of the Huaxia Army.Therefore, the Japanese army still has an absolute advantage in terms of combat effectiveness.

What's more, the air force attached to the Kwantung Army will also provide timely support for the attack on the Eighth Route Army.And most of the encirclement and suppression troops it dispatched have also begun to assemble, and are preparing to launch a siege offensive.

When the Japanese divisions began to build fortifications and strengthened their reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army's forward positions.The next day, the First Infantry Division welcomed the first big gift package from the Japanese army, a bomber from the Kwantung Army Flying Brigade.

Looking at the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army shrouded in gunpowder, Masaichi Naito, the commander of the division, also said happily: "Let the warriors rest well, and today we will be a spectator to see how our air force warriors kill the enemy. "

The march during this period was undoubtedly extremely depressing for the little devils of the No.11 Division.Before the war, Masaichi Naito also felt that it was necessary to boost the troops' self-confidence.

At least let these officers and soldiers under his command understand that their Kwantung Army is invincible.Establishing such confidence is also more conducive to their next attack.At the same time, the continuous bombing can also effectively bruise the soldiers of the Eighth Route garrison.

It's just that Masaichi Naito didn't know at all. For the First Infantry Division, when they built fortifications, they considered that the Japanese army would bomb them.Such a long time is enough for them to build a defensive position.

If you want to rely on bombing to severely damage the morale of the defenders, you can only say that Masaichi Naito made a wrong calculation.While the officers and soldiers of the Japanese divisions were watching the show, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the defensive positions also sat in the air-raid shelter and listened to the explosion outside.

Many veterans felt the vibration outside the air-raid shelter, and said a little speechlessly: "Don't the shells of the little devil cost money? This endless bombing, that's not throwing shells, it's losing money!"

Listening to the words of these veterans, many new recruits who were exposed to such a large-scale battle for the first time seemed a little nervous.Fortunately, staying in the air-raid shelter at this moment, they don't have to worry about what will happen to them from the bombs falling from the sky.

Some company platoon leaders who stayed with the officers and soldiers also said at the right time: "The little devil is trying to destroy our morale! It's a pity that these shells can't do much except for digging up the ground for us." effect."

But some veterans still pretended to be wronged and said: "Company commander, it's okay for us to hide in the cave. But those trenches are probably worthless. When the little devil's plane leaves, we may have to do coolies again!"

Repairing bombed fortifications is also very common in defensive operations.For the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, where every soldier cooperated with an engineer shovel, it was already a very accustomed thing.

The two armies are watching the theater, and they both seem to be quite relaxed and happy.If Masaichi Naito knew what happened in the Eighth Route Army's position at this moment, he would probably be depressed to death.

After all, he hoped that such bombing would break down the morale of some defenders.It's a pity that for the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, they may lack many things, but they must not lack morale!

From the day the troops were formed, all the officers and soldiers of the division knew that they would fight against the Kwantung Army, which is known as the strongest Japanese army.This is undoubtedly the most anticipated thing for many elite commanders and fighters who are used to He Zhengdao.

Even in the battle command room of the first division at this moment, the commander of the first division said a little depressed: "Damn, this little devil is too lazy! With so many planes dispatched, they should at least send ground troops to cooperate!"
