About half an hour later, Chief of Staff Li Xiong hurried in from the outside, holding a copy of the telegram in his hand.

"Your Excellency, Head of the Division, according to the information from the Special High School, the Chinese Army that came to reinforce it should be Yang Jing's Huben Regiment!"

Fujita's complexion changed drastically, and he asked, "Nani? Huben Regiment? It was the one who attacked my 68th Infantry Regiment outside Baoshan City back then, took the regiment's flag and wiped its ass, and brought endless joy to my 3rd Division. The shameful tiger group?"

"Hayi!" Li Xiong, a member of the field, nodded heavily: "It was the Huben regiment, but the Huben regiment had not yet been established at that time!"

Fujita Susumu is not a waste who only knows how to get angry, on the contrary, he is a very shrewd guy.

In fact, who would be easy to become the head of a lieutenant general of the Japanese army?

After pondering for a moment, Fujita Jin slowly opened his mouth and said: "With the fighting power of the Chinese Army's Huben Regiment, if it is really this army that came to reinforce it, then the defeat of the 68th Regiment of the Imperial Army is reasonable."

Ichiro Katayama, the brigade commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, would like to add that the 68th Wing was not defeated, but wiped out.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After a while, Fujita Jin continued: "However, what do the people in the super high class do? Why haven't we received any information about this?"

Tian Lixiong explained: "The thing is like this. When the 114th Division of the Imperial Army attacked Nianzhuang, the Imperial Army agents of the Xuzhou Branch of the Super High School wanted to copy the Jinling Branch of the Super High School to attack the Chinese Army Garrison Commander. A miracle of the Ministry, a surprise attack was launched on the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone in China.

The result was that they were ambushed by the Chinese army, and all the sub-station agents were wiped out, which led to the lack of information about Xuzhou in the special high school.

Just now, it was the special high class that used a chess piece lurking in the fifth theater of the China Army, and only then did it learn the news that the Huben regiment went south to help the Huaihe defense line. "

Fujita Jin mocked: "Hmph! The agents of the Xuzhou branch are really a bunch of idiots, do they really think that Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng are as useless as Tang Mengxiao?

What's more, with the precedent of Jinling, how could Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng not defend themselves? "

Tian member Lixiong asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Division Chief, what should we do now?"

"What should we do?" Fujita Jin said coldly: "Of course we will continue to launch the Battle of Crossing the River and tear apart the defense line of the Linhuaiguan Chinese Army!"

Li Xiong, a member of the field, said with some concern: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this Huben regiment nearly wiped out the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Imperial Army in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated!

If we continue to forcibly cross the Huai River, I'm afraid it won't work! "

Fujita Shindao: "According to reliable information, although the Huben Regiment severely damaged the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Imperial Army in the Battle of Taierzhuang, as the attacking side, the Huben Regiment also suffered extremely heavy casualties!

Now less than a month has passed since the battle of Taierzhuang, and the recruits recruited by the Huben Regiment can't form any combat effectiveness at all.

At this time, it is a great time to wipe out the old and new hatreds in one fell swoop! "

Tian Lixiong said again: "I don't know, how should we attack?"

Fujita Jin said coldly: "Raid at night!"

"Nani? Raid at night?"

Chief of Staff Toshio Tata, Brigade Commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade Ichiro Katayama, and Brigade Commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade Kanichiro Ueno all changed their faces drastically.

Fujita Shin nodded and said, "Not bad! Take advantage of the night to raid!"

Li Xiong, a member of the field, said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, no! Although our Great Japanese Imperial Army is not bad at night battles.

But aviation troops and ground field artillery firepower are our advantages!

If a night attack is launched, the imperial air force will not be able to take off to assist in the battle, and the ground field artillery will not be able to strike accurately at the Chinese army.

We are tantamount to using our own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths!

I'm afraid it's hard to work! "

Fujita Susumu explained: "In the Battle of Baoshan, the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army brought great shame to the 3rd Division of the Imperial Army!

It made it impossible for me and everyone present to raise my head in front of my colleagues in the empire.

Therefore, I pay attention to and study the Huben regiment of the Chinese Army all the time!

According to my research, Yang Jing has a great strategic vision and tactical command ability, and he has thoroughly studied the strategies and tactics of the Imperial Japanese Army.

This person is not only the number one confidant of my Great Japanese Empire, but also an extremely difficult opponent!

In addition, the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army is no weaker than my Imperial Japanese Army in terms of light weapons and artillery firepower!

And they are also equipped with a considerable amount of anti-aircraft firepower, and they have destroyed the Imperial Army fighter planes more than once!

Coupled with the obstruction of the Huaihe River, our Imperial Army's tank and armor units were unable to participate in the battle.

Under such circumstances, if you want to defeat the Huben Regiment of the Chinese Army, you can no longer use conventional means! "

Li Xiong, a member of the field, said: "So, the so-called night attack by the head of the division is not a whim?"

"Of course!" Susumu Fujita nodded heavily: "In previous battles, our Imperial Japanese Army rarely launched night battles!

Then through reverse reasoning, it is not difficult to find that the Chinese army will definitely not think that we will launch a night attack.

Therefore, night must be the time when the Chinese army's defense is the most lax!

In this way, our chances of success will be greatly improved! "

"Yo Xi!"

Tian Lixiong and the others nodded heavily, and then began to discuss the details of the night attack.

In Xuzhou, a beautiful woman dressed as a student with short hair walked around the city of Xuzhou. After inquiring, she learned that the Huben Group had left Xuzhou and disappeared.

He couldn't help gnashing his teeth in anger, with a ferocious look on his face that didn't match the beauty, and said coldly: "Yang Jing! You can't escape!"

Immediately, the woman disappeared at the end of an alley.

The screen returns to the north bank of the Huaihe River.

After Wei Shidong, Tan Wude, and Su Fufu left, Yang Jing directly took over the headquarters of the original 135th Division as the headquarters of the Huben Regiment.

Yang Jing studied the map in the headquarters for a while, then walked out of the headquarters and began to survey the terrain near Yaowan.

The coast of the Huaihe River is so long, it is indeed not an easy task to hold the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army to cross the river.

The ancient art of war is right, the best defense is offense!

If you only know how to defend, you can only wait for the enemy to attack you.

To defend against the devils in the Huaihe River, to put it bluntly, it is purely a defensive battle that consumes troops.

The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army has a field heavy artillery brigade and three aviation wings, such strategic forces.

If he opened up his position and fought a positional battle, Yang Jing really didn't have the certainty of winning.

The Huben Regiment is an elite group, and Yang Jing will not be so stupid as to let his troops stick to the war of attrition.

Not to mention using your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Yang Jing's idea is to look for opportunities in the defense and kill the main force of the devils.It is best to raid the devil's division headquarters, or their field heavy artillery brigade.

Only in this way can we greatly defeat the Japanese 3rd Division and disintegrate their attack from the root!

Holding a telescope in his hand, Yang Jing sometimes stood at the commanding heights and looked far away, and sometimes walked along the north bank of the Huaihe River, thinking about how to use terrain defenses in his mind.

After surveying for more than two hours, Yang Jing issued an order to redeploy troops and deploy defenses.

The main line of defense of the Huben regiment is in Yaowan on the north bank of the Huaihe River, which is more than 5 miles long.

Here is a tidal flat, with no cliffs blocking the shore, which is very suitable for landing operations.

After deploying troops, Yang Jing ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications on the line of defense in accordance with his instructions on the former 135th Division's position.

With a strong defensive position, it would not be a problem to stop the Japanese army from crossing the river.

Next, he considered how to maximize the use of the tidal flat in front of him, destroy and consume the enemy's troops to the greatest extent, and delay the little devil from crossing the Huaihe River!

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Yang Jing decided to deploy two more lines of defense on the north bank of the Huaihe River to hinder the enemy's advance.

"Ma Tong!"

"Have!"

Ma Tong, who was following Yang Jing, straightened his body, and suddenly agreed.

Yang Jing continued: "Pass my order, the battalions immediately dig as many pits as possible on the northern beach and deploy some landmines. In addition, pay attention to marking the landmines so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops!"

"Yes!"

Ma Tong responded and took the order to leave.

The trap formations and minefields can prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river in the first place, and buy enough time for the defending troops to annihilate the crossing of the river.

Yang Jing continued to patrol along the 5-mile-long defense line, surveying every position carefully, and urged all ministries to quickly establish fortifications.

At the same time, on-the-spot instructions were given on how to dig the trenches and how to deploy the firepower of various light and heavy machine guns.

Only when the firepower exists for a long time can it cause greater damage to the enemy.

Therefore, the positions that seem to have the widest shooting range may not be the most suitable positions, because these positions are likely to be noticed by the Japanese army and receive special care.

As the sun sets, night gradually falls, and the banks of the Huaihe River slowly sink into darkness.

Ten miles away from the south bank of the Huaihe River, the headquarters of the 10rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 3th Infantry Brigade.

More than a dozen devil officers, including brigade commander Katayama Riichiro, sat at the conference table of the brigade headquarters.

They are having a council of war.

The content of the meeting was how to launch a night attack and tear through the defense line of the Huben Regiment to cover the main force of the division and regiment to cross the river smoothly.

Because in the afternoon meeting of the division headquarters, Fujita Susumu decided to let Riichiro Katayama take the blame and meritorious deeds, and led his 5th Infantry Brigade as the vanguard to take the lead in attacking the Yaowan defense line guarded by the Huben regiment.

Katayama Riichiro's gloomy gaze swept across the faces of the devil officers present one by one, and he said in a deep voice, "How are the preparations for crossing the Huai River tonight?"

As the former enemy commander in the crossing operation tonight, the commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment Masaji Kaneda was the first to answer: "Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, all the troops for crossing the river have been assembled!"

Immediately afterwards, a devil major stood up and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, the logistics department of the brigade has mobilized 50 rubber boats!"

After this major had finished speaking, another devil major reported: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, our department was ordered to collect river crossing tools from the villages and towns on the south bank of the Huaihe River, and seized a total of 68 large and small ships from the hands of Chinese civilians."

"Yo Xi! Order all the ministries to get ready and cross the Huaihe River tonight! Tear up the defense line of the Chinese Army's Huben Regiment, kill Yang Jing, and let him bring the endless shame of the Great Japanese Imperial Army!"

Katayama Riichiro slammed his fist on the conference table, expressing his strong determination to regain Yaowan.

"Hay!"

All the devil officers stood up one after another and nodded heavily.

Then, they left the headquarters one after another

After receiving the order, the Devils crossing the river combat troops immediately launched an operation. Under the cover of night, they carried rubber boats and boats and quickly advanced to the south bank of the Huaihe River.

As time passed, the time quickly reached 12 o'clock in the morning.

"Crash!"

"Crash!"

At this time, it was approaching May, and the Huaihe River was gradually ushering in the flood season, and the river flow was much larger than that in the dry season in winter.

There was a sound of lapping waves on the fast-moving river.

More than 6 devil soldiers from the 3600th Regiment of the Japanese Infantry, carrying all kinds of tools for crossing the river, assembled near the ferry on the south bank of the Huaihe River under the cover of night.

"Put down the boat, and the 1st Infantry Battalion quickly crossed the river, hurry up!"

Under the order of Kaneda Shoji, more than 1 devil soldiers from the 1200st Infantry Battalion pushed the boats into the river, and then boarded the boats stepping on the knee-high water.

More than 110 boats were slowly paddling on the river, and some devil soldiers rowed to the north bank of the Huaihe River with their oars.

The machine gun team set up a pair of light and heavy machine guns on the bunker sandbags at the bow to prevent the defenders on the other side from suddenly attacking, and they can fire counterattacks in the shortest time.

About 10 minutes later, all the devil soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion came ashore.After disembarking, they did not charge forward immediately, but spread out nearby, set up various guns, and entered a defensive state.

Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Infantry Battalion followed suit and successfully crossed the Huaihe River.

After the Japanese army gathered more than 2400 troops, they immediately split up under the leadership of two major captains, and quietly moved towards the frontal defense line and flanks of the Huben Regiment.

The 3rd Infantry Battalion did not cross the river together, but stayed at the south bank ferry on standby in case of accidents.

As long as the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of Infantry in front succeed and occupy part of the Huben Regiment's position, they will immediately reinforce them and defeat the Huben Regiment together!

Chapter 238 Devil's Night Attack?That's a joke!

Adjacent to Huaiguan, the north bank of the Huaihe River is flat, with large tidal flats, unobstructed.

It is very suitable to use this place as a landing place for crossing the river, but there is one thing, because there are not many suitable bunkers around.
