Chapter 238 Roller Tactics!

“It’s true.”

Yoshinomi Shinozuka quickly received the telegram and started reading it. After reading it, he said bitterly to the Chief of Staff Major General Miyao: "Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust soon learned about the annihilation of the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment. Your Majesty was furious."

"Commander!"

After Miyano Daoichi received the telegram from Shinozuka Yoshino and read it, he said helplessly and bitterly: "It has come to this point, and I can only report the result of the war to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust in detail and apologize to His Majesty."

"According to the Chief of Staff, please apologize to His Majesty!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and ordered the communications officer, Toshiki Kitamura.

"Yes, Commander."

Major Toshiki Kitamura paused his head heavily, and then immediately turned back to the communications office.

Soon, there was the imperial study in the Imperial Palace of Dongjingcheng, Japan.

"Bageya Road, Shinozuka Yoshinan fought so badly! Is this still a commander of the empire?"

Seeing the telegram from Shinozuka Yoshinan who was sent by the attendant quickly, the Japanese Emperor was also angry and cursed.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point. What is the handling of General Yoshinan Shinozuka?"

The attendant asked in a low voice.

"The First Army also needs Yoshinan Shinozuka to grasp the situation in Jin Dynasty, and it is impossible to easily remove Yoshinan Shinozuka."

Although the Japanese Emperor was angry, until Yoshinomi Shinozuka now controlled the first army, it was very important for the battle situation in Jin.

It is unrealistic to rush to remove Yoshinomi Shinozuka and replace him with another imperial general to control the First Imperial Army.

What's more, if another imperial general takes control of the First Army, it will take more time to get familiar with Xu Rui and other troops next.

It’s better to let Yoshinan Shinozuka make meritorious!

"In my name, I telegrammed Shinozuka Yoshinan to commit crimes and confiscate Shinozuka Yoshinan's military salary for half a year."

The Japanese Emperor thought about it, and then ordered the attendant: "I telegram Shinozuka Yoshinomiya, I don't care what method he uses. Next time, I must deal with Xu Rui, and the head of this person must be sent to the empire to send him to the land of the empire to the people who died in battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

The attendant quickly said heavily, and then immediately went down and sent someone to call back and order Yoshinan Shinozuka.

Five or six minutes later, in the command room of the First Japanese Army Command in Taiyuan City.

"Huh Huh Huh!!!"

After receiving the call from the Japanese Emperor, Yoshinomi Shinozuka finally exclaimed three times, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Chief of Staff Major General Miyao, "Your Majesty, please understand the situation here!"

"It's only three things to do when you commit crimes. Your Majesty Tianlou gave me a second chance, Miyano Jun."

"Once the next battle against Xu Rui and other troops cannot be successful, I may have to ask myself to withdraw from the position of commander of the First Army."

Of course, Miyano Minami understood the truth that things were only three. Even if the Japanese emperor knew the importance of Yoshinan Shizuka's control of the First Army to the current situation in Jin, he would issue an edict to remove Yoshinan Shizuka's First Army commander.

After all, the second heavy counterattack failed again, and the Japanese Emperor, or General Tada Toshiba, the Front Command, could no longer let Shinozuka Yoshinan continue to control the First Army of the Imperial Army.

So, Miyano Do, who understood here, said in a narrow voice: "Commander, then we must make complete preparations next. The 41st Division, the 2nd Brigade, and the 16th Brigade are all gathered together again, and then gather all the way from Zhentingcheng to the north to seize Mingjia Town first."

"Then, we went north along Mingjia Town, and regardless of the consequences, we directly attacked Jinghai County. After capturing Jinghai County, we went north and crossed Xiushui River, and then continued to go north and attack the Huting stronghold until we reached the foot of Heyuan County."

Hearing this, he stared at the military map placed on a huge table in the command room of the headquarters. The town stronghold currently recovered by Xu Rui's troops, and then said in a low voice: "Miano, you are the roller tactics!"

"The heavy troops crushed the north all the way, and this is to take the road and head north all the way!"

Miyano Doji pointed to the map and said fiercely: "At that time, no matter what."

"No troops are allowed to divide or detour. The army gathered by the 41st Division and other units use the tactics of a roller to attack them all the way!"

"Using the tactics of heavy-armed road rollers, we will directly confront the enemy. If Xu Rui saw this, it would be better to face the head-on. If they divided their troops and detours, we would not care. Let the 41st Division and other units go north to seize a location, and then divide the small troops into building fortifications in the occupied town strongholds, and the main army will continue to attack northwards."

Yoshinozuka looked at the map and pondered Miyano Doichi's tactics, and had to admit that this was the safest.

Although there are many casualties, this is the best tactic to successfully annihilate Xu Rui and other troops for the second time.

The enemy's mobility is very powerful, and the roundabout tactics are very easy to play.

Since that's the case, then build a tough village and fight a stupid war.

Heavy troops rushed north, seized a place and stopped on the spot, and built fortifications that defended themselves.

Then, after this fortification could withstand the siege of thousands of enemy troops, the main force of the army continued to move northward and advanced northward towards Heyuan County.

This is indeed a road roller tactic, which uses powerful troops to force the enemy to avoid the enemy's edge.

However, this will lose their initiative.

Thinking about this, Shinozuka Yoshino had completely agreed with Miyano Doichi's tactics, and immediately praised: "Miyano's method is very good. This forced Xu Rui and other enemy commanders to concentrate their forces to block our army's heavy attack on the north regardless of the north."

"Yes, Commander."

Miyanoda nodded and then said: "In order to ensure that he can reach Heyuan County, the 41st Division and other departments will need to bring enough food, grass and ammunition to carry with the army at that time, at least half a month's war supplies."

"In addition, commander, we must request from the Front Command to allocate a batch of transport aircraft to support our First Army."

Upon hearing this, Yoshinomi Shinozuka immediately guessed the meaning of his confidant Chief of Staff Miyao Daoichi and said, "Miyao Jun means that once the 41st Division and other troops head north, the town strongholds that were recaptured later were captured by the enemy's detours and interspersed forces, and the logistics supply line would be cut off."

"Then, can the Front Command support our transport aircraft be able to perform airdrop recharge?"

Miyanodo nodded and said, "The commander is right."

"After the 36th Division and other departments heading north from Mingjia Town to Jinghai County, the logistics supply line behind was cut off, and the morale of the 36th Division and other departments must have been greatly affected at that time, especially the disconnection of the supply line, which was even more of a huge impact."

After pausing, Miyano Dokan said in a low voice: "So, I suggest that I must request the Front Command next to allocate a batch of transport aircraft that are sufficient to provide airdrop supplies to the 41st Division and other departments at that time."

"It is best if the 41st Division counterattacks, the supply line behind it will be intermittently and intercepted by the enemy. After problems with logistics supply, a large number of transport aircraft can be used to airdrop supplies to ensure the supply of materials for the 41st Division and other departments at that time."

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said, "This is OK. Next, Miyano, you personally request the transfer of transport planes from the Front Command in my name."
