Chapter 192

After some preparations, the Japanese army began to bombard the other side of the river, and at the same time the engineers began to prepare to build a bridge. Kamio Mitsuomi ordered the 24th Brigade to march south along the Dagu River to find a more suitable crossing point. The Chinese troops on the other side had at least

An artillery regiment, according to the establishment of the Chinese army, is at least a so-called Class A division. It is probably the same unit that was in Ye County before, and retreated here to defend. Although they suffered some small losses at the landing site and Ye County, Kamio Mitsuomi

I am still very confident, thinking that although the Chinese ** team can fight, its will to fight is weak and its combat effectiveness cannot last. Otherwise, it cannot explain the departure of Yexian and Pingdu without a fight. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this is a

Trap. Kamio Mitsuomi just laughed it off at this possibility. Are you kidding? A division and a brigade have so many artillery troops. If the Chinese ** team wants to surround them and annihilate them, isn't that a joke?

So this possibility was naturally ignored.

The Japanese troops who went out to fight silently ate rice balls at the starting point. The Japanese army's supplies were tight these days. They could only eat two rice balls because they had to go out to charge. These days, they usually only have one rice ball per meal, but they can have one rice ball at night.

Fish. The strong walls and clear fields brought a lot of trouble to the Japanese army. If they hadn't continued to drink from the well water, it would have been difficult for the Japanese army to even take a sip of clean water.

Japanese people are very poor, and so is the country. It is such a poor country, and it only wants to fight and expand. It is China's misfortune to have such a neighboring country. Of course, there is also a country that has occupied the most territory in China, and this country is even more

Rogues are even more scoundrels. In an era when ideology takes the lead, many things are artificially covered up.

The effect of the bombardment by more than a hundred cannons was spectacular, but it was also very expensive. The Japanese army, which had difficulty supplying supplies, was not very heroic this time. It was like there was a problem with the prostate, and it was intermittently. Taking advantage of the shelling, the Japanese engineers

The bridge began to be built. The water in the Dagu River surged and the Japanese army could not wade across the river. Even if they could wade across the river, the prerequisite was that they could suppress the firepower on the opposite side. Obviously, the Japanese army cannot do this now because the Chinese army

The team seemed to have disappeared. The Japanese army did not dare to take risks and could only wait for engineers to build the bridge.

The Dagu River is about 100 meters wide. The Japanese army built the bridge very quickly. The door panels and other items were all dismantled from Pingdu County. There was no shortage of materials in this regard. When the pontoon bridge reached the middle of the river, a violent explosion suddenly burst out from the silent opposite bank.

The artillery fire. In just a minute or so, the Japanese engineers who were building the bridge were unable to avoid it, and suffered heavy casualties. This shelling was like a bolt of lightning, coming and stopping as quickly as it came, and the Japanese artillerymen could only blindly

Retaliatory shooting. The mortars hidden in the trenches and fired from multiple locations had no actual killing effect at all. After a round of bombardment, the artillerymen picked up the mortars and ran away, running along the traffic trenches and hiding in

Realize the dug anti-blast holes.

Li Qianyu asked his artillerymen to think of many ideas on how to use the existing divisional artillery to deal with the Japanese heavy artillery. Focusing on the core of how to hit and run, they came up with many methods. In fact, this was also a very helpless thing. The Japanese army had hundreds of

Yu Men's heavy artillery is simply not something that Li Qianyu's artillery can compete head-on with.

As a result of the shelling, dozens of Japanese engineers were killed and injured, and a large section of the pontoon bridge was damaged. They had to find a way to continue building the bridge.

Li Qianyu hid in the observation post watching the activities of the Japanese army. When he felt a little regretful that there was no heavy artillery, the director of the telecommunications department sent a telegram. The 1st and 2nd heavy artillery regiments of the National Defense Bureau were ordered to come for reinforcements and had arrived in Jimo. Li Qianyu was overjoyed when he heard the news. He was very happy. Soon, he received an urgent telegram from the front commander of Weifang, asking Li Qianyu to block the Japanese army on the west bank of the Dagu River at all costs. Three Class A divisions hiding in the Laiyang Mountains were coming, and three divisions and two combat divisions from the west were coming. The chariot brigade and volunteer heavy artillery troops set out from Changyi and Weifang respectively to form an encirclement against the Japanese army. The task of Li Qianyu's division was to hold on until the Laiyang troops arrived.

When the Japanese army fell into captivity, an article "Analysis of China's Military Power" written by the Japanese military attache in China, Ishizaka Futsu, was intercepted by the Japanese Minister Ijuin. With this report, Ishizaka Futsu was found.

"Shi Zhongjun, how can you write such a report? According to your report, the Chinese army will complete the encirclement of the imperial army in Qingdao. Isn't this a joke? When did the Chinese army have such combat effectiveness? This report cannot be handed in !" Ijuin's face was livid, and he was holding the manuscript in his hands and dancing wildly. Shi Zhong had a serious expression on his face and pursed his lips slightly, showing no intention of defending.

After Ijuin finished speaking, Ishizaka bowed forcefully and said: "Your Excellency, Minister, I copied two copies of this report, one of which has been sent back to the country through the channels of the intelligence department. The Battle of Qingdao, the Imperial Japanese Army We have fallen into a crisis, and we must make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. Thank you, Mr. Minister, for your love, but for the eternal hegemony of the empire, my future and destiny are nothing but trivial matters. Please transfer it to the military department, Mr. Minister. ."

Ijuin does have the intention of protecting Ishizaka Fubu. In the current political atmosphere, everyone in Japan is applauding the Imperial Army's illustrious military exploits in the Battle of Qingdao. Suddenly a person comes out to pour cold water on him. Being called a national traitor is an easy matter.

"Are you really going to do this?" Ijuin was a little hesitant when he heard that he was so determined. Once the Japanese army was defeated in Qingdao, Ijuin would also bear a lot of responsibility. Omissions in intelligence work were not only a problem of the military intelligence department, but also the Minister Also has a share.

"Yes, it must be as soon as possible! Please!" Shi Zhongfu bowed again. Ijuin hesitated for a while and nodded.

After seeing off Ijuin, Ishizaka Fubu held a knife in one hand and looked toward the sea in the east with a melancholy expression. In the entire Japanese military community, only one person who understands the combat effectiveness of China's elite army today is Ishizaka Fubu. Japanese Army The troops were deeply penetrated by China, but Fang Jianxiong did not have a deep understanding of the troops raised by Fang Jianxiong. Marshal Fang, who was naturally wary of Japan, invested a lot of money in preventing the infiltration of Japanese intelligence personnel. Military Intelligence Bureau and Political Intelligence Bureau, the two major intelligence bureaus are the most concerned about guarding against Japanese intelligence personnel. Fang Jianxiong's old foundation, the ten first-numbered A divisions, the Japanese simply cannot understand deeply. With the expansion of the National Defense Forces, Only the intelligence personnel led by Shizhong Buji had the opportunity to learn about some of the equipment and training conditions of each Class A division. Combining this information, plus the feedback from Japanese advisers who served in various units of the Beiyang Army during the civil war, Shi Zhongbai gradually gradually understood the basics of Understand the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force's Type A Division.

By the time he basically grasped the situation, the local war in Qingdao between China and Japan had already broken out. Shi Zhong urgently sent a number of reports to analyze the combat effectiveness of the Chinese ** troops. These reports reached the Japanese military headquarters and did not

Attracting attention. The traditional concept of the Japanese army is the result of the deduction of the General Staff. The ratio of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the Chinese army is one to ten.

It was under such nonsense analysis that the Japanese government dared to launch the Qingdao War. Otherwise, given the tough attitude that the Chinese government has repeatedly expressed, the Japanese government must be more cautious on this issue.

The analysis result of Shi Zhongbufen is that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese ** team is roughly divided into three levels. The first level is the elite of the elite, including a special operations brigade and the top ten armor divisions. These ten

The division is an expansion of Fang Jianxiong's starting army. Its officers are all from the Wuhu teaching team, and Fang Jianxiong is absolutely loyal to Fang Jianxiong. The troops are well-equipped, with light weapons superior to those of the Japanese army, and are rigorously trained. Most of the officers were trained by the German army, and there are a large number of German soldiers.

Advisor. The second level is the Class A divisions with serial numbers after ten. These troops are composed of veterans of the original Beiyang Army and the People's Army of various provinces. Their equipment is the same as the previous serial number. The Class A divisions have unified equipment and are the main force of the Chinese army. The first level

The combat effectiveness of the Type A division should be equivalent to that of the Japanese army in defensive warfare. The second level is slightly worse, roughly 37:30. The third level is the so-called Type B division, which has thousands fewer personnel than the Type A division and has very miscellaneous equipment.

, there are German weapons and Japanese weapons. The combat effectiveness of the B Division is generally a little worse than that of the previous Beiyang Army. This has nothing to do with the equipment, but because Fang Jianxiong does not have so many officers. Especially the lack of grassroots officers.

, affecting the combat effectiveness of the B Division of the China Army.

The reality is that the Japanese army launched the Qingdao War, but only sent about three divisions and a certain amount of artillery. The total number of the army was less than 90,000. This amount of troops was undoubtedly unable to defeat China's 24 Class A divisions.

, not to mention that it is impossible for the Chinese government to devote all its A-divisions. Shi Zhong predicts that as long as it invests half, that is, twelve A-divisions, plus some B-divisions, it will be twice as strong as the defense of Qingdao.

, the Japanese army cannot win this war with its current strength, and may even fail.

What kind of situation would happen if such an analysis report was sent back to China? Shi Zhongbuxin knew it very well, but as a sober imperialist, personal honor and disgrace could only be put aside.

What if the imperial army is really defeated? Whenever this thought comes to mind, Shi Zhongbufen feels chilled all over. China is a big country, and once the people become more popular, Japan, as a small country with scarce resources, has

Is it possible to conquer the continent? The conclusion is obvious, so the empire cannot fail, even just once.

How to recapture Pingdu is a difficult problem. The requirements of the front finger are very clear. Move quickly. We must recapture Pingdu before the main force of the Japanese army returns and block the Japanese army's retreat. For such a difficult problem, Shen Tongwu does not have many good solutions.

.I had no choice but to call a group of subordinates for a meeting to discuss, and also asked someone to call Li Zongren, a top student from Mainland China. This young man has many clever ideas in fighting, and he may have a way.

All officers above the regimental commander attended the meeting, including Li Zongren. At the beginning of the meeting, Shen Tongwu announced the order of the front commander. The 12th Division, which was lurking in the mountains to the west of Pingdu, rushed to Pingdu in less than half a day. It was easy to walk.

How to fight is a question. When this issue was raised, the officers expressed their opinions one after another, and the tone was basically the same. They were to divide the troops into two groups, go straight to the Jiaolai River along the highway, and seize the pontoon bridge. (The previous article is wrong, it is not the Xiaogu River.)

Another group of troops stormed Pingdu County.

Li Zongren has the lowest position and has not spoken. He sits there silently with his head lowered, not knowing what he is thinking. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member to recommend this work, your
