Okamura Yasuji nodded happily.

He said again: "Miyono, let's talk about how many troops and how much combat supplies are needed?"

"Hayi!" Miyanoda paused his head one by one, and pointed to the map on the slide and said, "There are 1,340 simple bunkers in the six blockade ditches. Each simple bunker requires three to five imperial soldiers and eight to ten imperial soldiers, and an additional light machine gun is equipped, which requires a total of 5,000 imperial soldiers and 10,000 imperial soldiers and more than 1,300 light machine guns."

"In addition to the bunkers that blockade the six ditches, there are nearly 200 Huanzhen towns and Huancunzhen villages block the deep trenches."

"On average, in each Huan Town, Huan Village needs five simple bunkers to block the deep trenches, totaling one thousand bunkers."

"So you need about five thousand imperial soldiers and ten thousand imperial assistants, plus one thousand light machine guns of various types."

"In addition, mobile combat troops are needed, at least three mobile strike detachments are needed. Each mobile strike detachment should have an infantry brigade, a field artillery brigade and a chariot squadron."

"This item requires another 6,000 imperial soldiers, thirty-six seventh-five field cannons plus eighty-four various types of combat vehicles."

"So in terms of military strength, our Second Guard Division is completely sufficient, but the premise is that other divisions must replace us from the garrison tasks of the county town and stronghold."

"In terms of weapons and equipment, the number of light machine guns is large."

"In terms of combat materials, half of the battle materials should be enough."

Such a result was somewhat beyond Okamura Yasuji's expectations.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was also a little surprised. He originally thought he needed two divisions.

The No. C combat plan for the unique brigade of the Jinsui Army that Miyano Daichi had formulated before even requires three divisions to be seconded, plus the Second Guard Division, there are a total of four divisions.

So this time, Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that he had to second two divisions.

But unexpectedly, Miyano Doichi only needs to second a division.

This means that it will not have much impact on the defenses in southeastern and western Shanxi.

When the Japanese army in Shanxi launched a sweep of northwestern Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi would have no choice but to take advantage of it, because at least one main division and two brigades would stay in southeastern Shanxi for security.

As for the Jinsui Army that was hiding in a corner of western Shanxi, there was no need to worry at all.

Now, as long as the Japanese army does not attack him, they will chant Amitabha Buddha.

Okamura Yasuji said: "Miyono, are you sure you only need to second one division?"

"Hayi, I'm sure." Miyanodao paused, "but this division must defend Anhua City, Ping'an, Fu'an, Heyuan County, and Tongpu Railway to ensure that our outer defense line will not be attacked by the other two regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi Sui Army and the Central Army of China."

“This is absolutely fine.”

After Okamura Yanji finished speaking, he said to Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Iwamatsu, the First Army is now in sufficient strength. I think it is possible to transfer the Third Brigade back to Gang Prefecture to take charge of the Anhua and Tongpu Railway, prevent the other two regiments of the Eighth Route Army from crossing the Tongpu Line and entering the Fuliang Mountains. Then, three regiments of the 41st Division were stationed in Fu'an, Ping'an and Heyuan County respectively to prevent the Central Army in the north and the Jinsui Army in the south from fishing in the troubled waters. What do you think?"

Iwamatsu Yoshi was very upset. What do I think? What else can I think?

But what can I do? The senior official level is to kill people, let alone Okamura Yasuji.

Okamura Yasuji is the core of Showa Sanba U, and he is registered in front of the Emperor.

At that moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio said indifferently: "Just do as the general's wishes."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily and said to Miyao again, "But Miyao, the number of demand for your light machine gun is too large, and I'm afraid it will not be able to meet it."

Miyano Doichi murmured for a moment, "It's okay to cut it in half."

"It's not OK to cut it half." Okamura said, "A three-unit division regiment has only more than 300 light machine guns and fifty-four heavy machine guns, so at most, half of the machine guns of the Third Brigade and the 41st Division can be temporarily transferred to you, almost 300 light machine guns."

Miyano Dao frowned slightly.

But soon, Miyano Doichi's brow loosened again and said happily: "Then it's three hundred."

Because Miyano Doichi suddenly thought that only the front of the six blockade ditches needed to strengthen the machine gun firepower.

After completing the blockade mission, the threat faced by the five blockade ditches on the periphery has been greatly reduced, saying that even without machine gun firepower is not a big problem.

As for Huancun and Huanzhen Deep Trench, there is no big problem with no machine guns.

I don’t believe that the Tujiao Route Army trapped in the villages and towns can rush out.

Okamura Yasuji said again: "The last question is, is the supplies for half a battle part really enough?"

The Japanese division had a combat material, including about three months of food, oil, medicine, and standard backup weapons for half a division, plus 20 bases of pressurized artillery, ten bases of machine guns, and three to four bases of rifles.

A three-unit security division has a battle of about 10,000 tons of supplies and 2,000 tons of ammunition!

Although the Second Guards Division has a three-unit system, it has an independent field artillery brigade and a chariot brigade, so the half-war ammunition is about 6,000 tons, of which 1,000 tons of ammunition is.

Okamura Yasuji pondered for a moment, and then said, "I will transfer a division to you within ten days to have a battle supplies, so you can do it steadily and not rush to achieve success."

"The most taboo thing about fortress and trench tactics is to be eager to achieve success."

"I'll give you three months, and be sure to crush the independent group."

Okamura Yasuji is preparing to turn the Fuliangshan mobilization into a model battle example.

Then we are preparing to promote it to the Japanese army in central Hebei, southern Hebei and even Shandong battlefields.

"Hayi!" Miyano Dao heard the implicit sound of Okamura Yanji, and immediately said excitedly, "Please rest assured, General, the Second Guard Division will never let you down."

"Hey." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand, "I cannot let down His Majesty the Emperor's expectations."

"Hayi." Miyanodao turned around and faced the east, and paused again, "Our Second Guard Division will never let down His Majesty the Emperor's expectations, nor will it let down the glorious number of the Second Guard Division!"

...

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Time comes July 20, 1941.

The Three Germans on the European battlefield were unstoppable and continued to advance towards the heart of the Soviet Union.

The Japanese army on the Far East battlefield are still intensively accumulating combat supplies, mobilizing transportation capacity, preparing to attack Southeast Asia and sneak attack on the Pearl Harbor base of the beautiful national navy.

Among them, the attack on Southeast Asia can be said to be blatant.

The beautiful country and the Dayin Empire have issued early warnings to their governments.

However, the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is a top secret and it remains only in the Navy's top management.

The battlefield in northwest Shanxi was covered with clouds. The Third Brigade was transferred back to Wan County again and took over the security tasks of the strongholds along the Tongpu Railway and Anhua. The 41st Division had also been transferred to the battlefield in northwest Shanxi. The division headquarters and the 239th Infantry Regiment were stationed in Ping'an County, the 237th Infantry Regiment were stationed in Fu'an County, the 238th Infantry Regiment was stationed in Heyuan County, and the 41st Shanyi Regiment was divided into three, stationed in three counties respectively."

As the Japanese army was approaching, the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army in northwest Shanxi began to become nervous, and Chu Yunfei's unique brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army was naturally no exception.

Fang Ligong hurried into the war room with a telegram.

He also reported to Chu Yunfei: "The independent group is going to be in big trouble!"

"Is that true?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said again, "How many troops did the Japanese army use to participate in the mobilization?"

Fang Ligong said: "It seems that only the Second Guard Division is used directly for sweeping operations, but the forces used for blockade and alert are as many as one division and one brigade!"

Chu Yunfei said: "How many Japanese troops are there in Heyuan County?"

Fang Ligong said: "The one who entered Heyuan County was the 238th Infantry Regiment of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army, but it seemed that it was owed an infantry brigade."

"What? Owe an infantry brigade?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said, "What does it mean to owe an infantry brigade?"

"Do you look down on our Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade? I think it's more than enough to use two infantry brigades to guard our Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade, right?"

"I think the Japanese army probably didn't mean that."

Fang Ligong said: "I guess I want to make a trap for the Eighth Route Army."

"Get out of the trap?" Chu Yunfei said with a look of movement, "Are you saying that you deliberately keep a move and lure the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Jin to take the initiative, and then take the opportunity to eliminate them?"

"There is still a great possibility."

Fang Ligong said: "If nothing unexpected happens, after the Japanese army launched a sweep of the Independent Regiment, Ding Wei's new first regiment, Kong Jie's new second regiment, and even the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi will definitely do their best to launch harassment operations against the Japanese army. At this time, there were suddenly three more infantry brigades in southeastern Shanxi that were not known by the Eighth Route Army, which could still play a great role."

"That's the matter between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army." Chu Yunfei said coldly, "But the Japanese army despises our unique brigade, which is between us and the Japanese army. We have to follow my temper and really want to set up a battle with the Japanese army, so that they can know that our Jinsui Army's unique brigade has long been different from the past."

"I'm afraid this is not possible." Fang Ligong said hurriedly.

"Not only the Chief Minister will not allow it, but the Chairman of the Standing Committee will not agree."

Fang Ligong has not said anything, which is not consistent with your previous thoughts.

You have said before that this battle can only be watched from the other side of the river, and you have to take advantage of the situation and robbery when you are about to come.

However, as an excellent chief of staff, Fang Ligong would not say such words that would damage Chu Yunfei's image in public. After all, Liu Shiyin, a reporter from the army, has so many staff members.

"I know." Chu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and said again.

"Order the troops to strengthen their vigilance and train quickly."

"If the Japanese army dares to invade, beat me hard."

Fang Ligong could naturally hear that this was a slander, and immediately nodded and responded: "Yes!"

Liu Shiyin didn't know Chu Yunfei's subtext, and only thought that Chu Yunfei was an open-minded soldier who was very wise, so he looked at Chu Yunfei with a strange look of fiery expression.

...

Zhaojiayu, independent group headquarters.

Zhao Gang said with a serious expression: "The meeting is now."

The battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander and militia captain who attended the meeting quickly sat upright.
