That night, Seiichiro Kita summoned the commander of the 46th Division, General Akajima Takada, the commander of the 47th Division, Lieutenant General Mitsusada Osako, and Major General Tokutaro Nakajima of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, to his headquarters.Kita Seiichiro said with a serious face: "Gentlemen, the current situation, the hateful Tubalu has captured Niangzi Pass, cut off the connection with the Shanxi Imperial Army, and attempted to encircle and annihilate the Imperial Army in Shanxi in one fell swoop.At this time, the Eighth Route Army had already taken the lead in launching an attack, and the Jin Sui Army and the China Government Army were also ready to move.The base camp was furious at this, and strictly ordered us to recapture Niangzi Pass, open the Zhengtai Railway, further disintegrate the offensive of the Chinese people, and take the opportunity to defeat them completely.And the first step we have to do is to eliminate the Chinese army in Niangzi Pass and reoccupy Niangzi Pass. ”The three old devils of Xuandao and Gao never spoke, but quietly listened to Seiichiro Kita chattering endlessly.Kita Seiichiro observed everyone's reactions, and then said: "But we have just arrived in Jingcheng County now, and we have been stubbornly blocked by the Tubalu, so it is not difficult to see that the people of China are determined to fight to the death with the imperial army at Niangzi Pass this time, I think this is a rare opportunity, a good opportunity to eliminate the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, as long as this seventh column is eliminated, the other Tubalu is not to worry about at all." ”"What Hai Kita Jun said is very true, although the troops of the Eighth Route Army have a large number of troops, most of them are some dirt and eight routes, the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and the combat effectiveness is very low.Only this seventh column, which is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness, and its commander Li Guotao is even more cunning, is really a serious problem for the imperial army, and if the imperial army wants to maintain law and order and stability in North China, it must first get rid of this seventh column. ”Akajima was the first to speak."
Yo Xi" Kita Seiichiro nodded with a smile and said: "Xuandao-kun is right, according to the news we have got, the main brigade of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army is currently stationed in Jingcheng County, and the new Fourth Brigade can be wiped out in one fell swoop, not only can open up the passage to Niangzi Pass, but also can severely damage the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”Da Qiang Tongzhen frowned slightly, and said: "Listening to the meaning of Xi Duojun, it seems that I have already thought of a way to deal with this Tubalu, it is better to listen to it, and the contemptible people will listen to it." ”"Yes, since Kita-kun already has a clever plan, don't sell it, just say it," Xuandao Takaya said.Even Tokutaro Nakajima, who had the lowest status on the scene, nodded hurriedly.Seeing this, Kita Seiichiro couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's not a clever plan, the contemptible people observed the terrain around Jingcheng County today, but thought of a way to deal with the people of China, so I want to discuss it with you." ”Kita Seiichiro said and strode to the front of the map, pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the east and west sides of Jingcheng County are lofty mountains, and the entire county town can be said to be in a huge canyon, and we can only attack from the north now, but the terrain here is narrow, and the cunning Tuba Road is guarded by danger, and the imperial army has superior forces but cannot give full play to it."
However, if we can draw out a part of our troops, detour from the mountainous area in the east to the south of the county seat, and cut off the retreat of the Tuba Road, we will definitely be able to annihilate this Tuba Road in one fell swoop. ”After hearing this, Kazuma Gao nodded slightly and said, "Kita-kun's idea is not bad, but" "But what" Kita Seiichiro saw that Kazujima Gao looked like he was about to say something, and hurriedly asked.Xuandao Gao hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I don't know if Kita-kun still remembers that when the Eighth Route Army besieged Niangzi Pass for the first time, we had just arrived in Taiyuan, and Niangzi Pass was in an emergency, and His Excellency Commander Tada urgently ordered the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade and the Independent Eighth Mixed Brigade to support Niangzi Pass.At that time, Jingcheng County was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade was to rush to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, so it chose to take the mountain road to the east to bypass Jingcheng County, but it was ambushed by Tu Eighth Road on the way, and the entire Independent Eighth Mixed Brigade was shattered. ”Just a few days have passed since this incident, and Kita Seiichiro naturally remembers that Kazujima Gao mentioned this matter at this time, Kita Seiichiro naturally understood what he meant, so he said with a smile: "Kajima-kun is worried that we will repeat the mistake of the independent Eighth Mixed Brigade. ”"Kita-kun, Tubalu has always been very cunning, and the imperial army can't help but guard against it," Xuandao Gao nodded and said.Seiichiro Kita smiled and said, "Since I mentioned this idea, I naturally won't ignore this.First of all, the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade was ambushed at night, and if it was during the day, even if the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade was ambushed, it would definitely not end up in total annihilation.What's more, after this incident, I'm afraid that the Eighth Route Army wouldn't have expected that the Imperial Army would still choose to take this road," Da Forced Tongzhen frowned and asked: "Kita-kun means to set off during the day, so you can't hide it from the Eighth Route of the Earth." ”"What does it matter if they know."
Kita Seiichiro said indifferently: "This mountain road is only a few hours away at most, we set off before dawn, and by the time the Tsuhachi Road found us, we had almost made a detour back to the southern part of Jingcheng County, and it was impossible for the Tuba Road to intercept it even if we wanted to."
At that time, they had only two choices, either to flee into the mountains and old forests to hide, or to face the two sides of the imperial army, and then be annihilated by the imperial army. ”Xuandao Gao thought about it carefully, frowned and asked with a serious face: "Then Kita-kun thinks that the army is better used to carry out this roundabout mission" At this time, Da Forced Tongzhen preemptively spoke: "In my humble opinion, there should not be too many roundabout troops, but the combat effectiveness should not be too weak, otherwise it will not be effective at all."
It is better to send an elite force, advance lightly, quickly detour back to the enemy's rear, and launch an attack from the south against the Tsuchihachi Road. ”Kita Seiichiro's face changed slightly, and he scolded secretly in his heart, these two old foxes, the other three troops in front of the 14th Division, who dares to call it elite, these two guys clearly want his 14th Division to carry out this roundabout mission, this plan was originally proposed by him, and his 14th Division is naturally the best choice, Kita Seiichiro originally thought that these two guys would rush to carry out this mission, and then he would come and push the boat, but he didn't expect that the matter would end up like this.aa2705221:
