Chapter 1561 Cage Policy
"There is a problem with the mobile force?" Hinata asked, "Is it because of the lack of troops?"
"No, the number of troops is enough." Ishihara Kanir waved his hand and said, "But there is insufficient power!"
After a pause, Ishihara Kaner continued: "Although the Chinese army scattered in Xinchang County, Sheng County and Tiantai County are not the Central Army of China, their equipment level is not comparable to the Eighth Route Army in North China. A basic fact is that the Eighth Route Army basically has no artillery, but the Sichuan Army has mortars, and the number is still very large!"
"In this case, if the mobile troops do not have strong transportation capabilities and can only rely on marching, it is impossible to rush to provide assistance in time no matter what."
"Because the defense capabilities of each stronghold or bunker are limited."
"If the mobile troops do not have strong mobility, when they arrive on foot, the strongholds or bunkers that were attacked may have been lost long ago, and the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army stationed in the strongholds or bunkers may have been completely wiped out! Once, twice such failures are not a big problem, but what about ten or hundreds of failures?"
"This..." Hinata Shiaki was embarrassed, "We don't have enough trucks."
"Without a truck, you won't think of anything else?" Ishihara Kanir said dissatisfiedly, "I heard that the 10th Chinese Army of the Army has creatively equipped a three-wheeled bicycle. Why can't the 15th and 17th Divisions and the independent mixed 11th Brigade follow the Chinese Army and also equipped bicycles?"
"No need to be many, only five to one thousand bicycles are needed to form a motorized infantry brigade that can perform rapid maneuvering through the mechanized tiller highway!"
"As long as there are ten such mobile infantry brigades, defenses from Xinchang County, Sheng County to Tiantai County will be no problem. The cage policy is in central Zhejiang, and the implementation of northern Zhejiang will be easy!"
"Hayi!" Hinata Shiaki had nothing to say now.
At that moment, Hinata Zhiming took back the documents and went back to modify them again.
Watching Hinata Shimiya leave, Ishihara Kan said, "Okamura, your cage policy is certainly good, but it can only be used to deal with the Sichuan Army in the Chinese army. If the 10th China Army stationed in Yinjiang attacks, the cage policy will definitely not be locked in them. What should I do then?"
Okamura Yasuji said: "At that time, I'm afraid I can only transfer the 2nd Division or the 5th Division back. Anyway, there is no chance of a decisive battle in the western Zhejiang battlefield. There is actually no big impact on one more division or one less division."
"That's true." Ishihara nodded and said, "The left and right are just stalemates. There is really no big problem with one more division or one less division."
Speaking of this, Ishihara Kanji said again: "But we must prepare malaria drugs in advance."
"You are right, the medicine must be prepared in advance." Okamura Yasuji said, "This time, we must not repeat the mistakes of the Battle of De'an."
Ishihara nodded and continued, "Okamura-kun, when will the Empire take action?"
Although Ishihara Kan's question was completely unfinished, Okamura Nagato understood it in seconds, but he didn't know the specific time.
