Chapter 1219 Tactical Innovation
"Yes." Usa Mirone said, "so we decided to prioritize the Chinese army's transport team!"
"Yo Xi." Nishio Suzuo nodded happily and said, "So, you must have chosen the target, right?"
"Yes." Usa Mirō paused again and said, "According to the information provided by Dohihara, there are mainly two transportation teams sent by Yinjiang, one of which has more than 10,000 people, and even more than 200 heavy-load trucks. This transportation team should have become the most priority target of the 13th Army."
Usa Mirō talks about the transportation team led by Mr. Zhao Xingjiu.
After completing the transportation of the first batch of military supplies to the 10th Army, the transport team immediately returned to Yinjiang to receive new military supplies. They followed the Yinjin Highway to Jinhua. After arriving in Jinhua, the transport team had to take a small road to Jiande and send the supplies to the departments of the 41st Army.
"Is there such a huge transportation team?" Nishio Suzuo frowned when she heard this, and then continued, "This must be given to the 41st Chinese Army!"
"Yes, we judged that too." Usa Mirō paused and continued, "It's a pity that this transport team has passed Jinhua at present. Not to mention that the ground infantry whip is beyond the reach, even if it is an aviation force, only the Type 96 long-range attack aircraft can attack them."
At this time, the pipe next to him said: "Even if you are dispatching a long-range attack squadron, you may not be able to pose a threat to the Chinese transport squadron, because the Chinese are very cunning and usually only march at night, while our attack aircraft cannot bomb at night at present!"
"Baga!" Nishio Shozao cursed and said, "What about the other transportation team?"
Usa Mirō said: "According to the intelligence class, Zhong Yi will provide a large number of military supplies to reward the Chinese army that performed well in the Battle of Xinchang. The size of this transport team may not be as large as the transport team in Jinhua, but the impact is not small. If this transport team can be eliminated, it can cause a heavy blow to the morale of the Chinese army!"
"Yo Xi!" Nishio Shouzuo nodded happily and said, "What about the plan?"
Usa Mitsunobu said: "Jianga Shikun and his team have already performed a war chess performance just now."
Speaking of this, Usa Mitsuru turned his attention to Hinata Shiaki again, meaning that it was your turn.
Hinata Shia immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The Commander-in-Chief, the current situation is that the two wings of the 17th Division, except the Kameda United, and the three wings of the 15th Division have been fully launched in Chongren Town and the area west of Zhuniangling, while the opposite Chinese army has five divisions. Among them, the 62nd Division was basically crippled in the battle with the Kameda United, and the 63rd Division was also severely damaged by the Ikeda United in the blocking battle at Zhuniangling."
Nishio Suzuo said in a deep voice: "In other words, in the next battle, will the next battle be the five imperial army corps against the three divisions of the Chinese army?"
"Hayi!" Hinata Shimiya said, "Even if the Chinese army is in a state of prosperity, the combat effectiveness of one of its divisions is equivalent to half of the Imperial Army's regiment, so in this battle, the Imperial Army has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength."
Nishio Shouzuo nodded slightly and said, "So, how do you plan to fight this battle?"
"The whole plan is roughly like this." Hinata Shimiya explained, "Ikeda United maintains its offensive at Zhuniangling to attract the attention of the Chinese army, high-quality teams and Daiba United form the left-wing fast column, and then the right-wing fast column is formed with the Katakura United and Matsuura United, respectively, and detour from the path in the direction of Kazaka and Jingling."
"Fast Column? Detour from the path?" Nishio Suzuo said, "Would it be too risky?"
Because the Japanese army had a large amount of heavy equipment, this was not only a major advantage but also a disadvantage. Because there was a large amount of heavy equipment, it could only maneuver through the highway, which greatly limited the flexibility of the Japanese army in using troops.
But in previous battles, Japanese commanders tried to break through this limitation.
The most typical example is that during the Battle of Nanchang, Okamura Yasuji ordered the Japanese 106th Division to throw away all heavy equipment and try to detour behind the National Army from a small road. However, Xue Yue seized the opportunity to surround the 106th Division, and finally almost broke into annihilation. This was the Wanjialing Victory, which was famous in history.
That's why Nishio Suzusaki has this concern.
The Japanese army had not tried to give up road maneuvers and encircle the road from small roads, but the results were not ideal.
Usa Mirō replied: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the strength of the Chinese army on the Xinchang battlefield is far from comparable to that of the Chinese army on the Nanchang battlefield. The strength of the imperial army that was detouring in the Xinchang battlefield is no less than that of the 106th Division. Faced with the strength of the four infantry corpses, let alone the Chinese army on the Xinchang battlefield, even the Chinese army on the entire Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield, I am afraid I will not be able to swallow it in a short time!"
"That's true." Nishio Shoujo was relieved and asked again, "So, where are the independent 11th Brigade of Fuchun Jiangbei and two divisions of the right-road cluster?
Usa Mirō said: "The 11th Brigade of Independent Mixed Initiative, Bei Zhi has ordered it to retract. He stopped in Fuchun County and was not allowed to advance half a step forward! The two divisions of the right cluster are progressing smoothly. The 22nd Division has captured Qingtian and is attacking towards Lishui. The 116th Division has also captured Wenling and is attacking towards Taizhou."
Listening to Usa Mitsuru's introduction, Nishio's Suzusaki's eyes turned from the sand table to the map on the wall next to him.
But I saw that on the south side of the enemy-wealth situation chart of the Zhejiang-Fujian battle, two huge arrows took Wenzhou as the starting point, one pointed straight towards Lishui, and the other pointed along the coastline towards Taizhou.
Usa Mitsuru also walked to the map and pointed to the map and said: "The left-road cluster has to innovate tactics because the enemies faced by the more powerful ones, but the right-road army faces only one new division of the Chinese army, which is almost negligible, so there is no need to make tactical innovations and can still implement the plans formulated before."
"Yo Xi." Nishio Shouzuo nodded happily and said again, "Usa Mijun, your move is called a two-pronged approach. It not only can eliminate the vitality of the Chinese army as much as possible, but also can capture central Zhejiang, western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang in the shortest time. While cutting off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and Zhejiang-Fujian Highway, it will complete the encirclement of Yinjiang!"
"I dare not." Usa Mito paused, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief praised it."
Nishio Suzao waved his hand and said happily: "Usa Mikun, I am completely relieved of your ability, so just do it, I believe you can do it."
"Hayi, thank you for your trust in the Commander-in-Chief."
