Li Yunlong continued: "Even if we cannot annihilate them all, we must at least severely damage the First Division. We must kill the heavy artillery brigade of the First Division."
This time, Li Yunlong really made up his mind.
On the one hand, the price of eating or severely damaging the First Division is very good.
On the other hand, the Japanese have repeatedly sent Class A divisions to northwest Shanxi. Do they really think that northwest Shanxi is a tourist attraction? They can come and leave whenever they want?
The Japs' heavy artillery brigade poses too great a threat to the Chinese army and must be killed.
Of course, the price for killing the Japanese heavy artillery brigade is also very attractive.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
In the war room, a huge map has been posted on the wall of the war hall, almost covering the entire wall.
This map is a detailed map of northwestern Shanxi. Even the highways under construction in northwestern Shanxi are marked.
In order to defend the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese took great pains.
Although northwestern Shanxi is in the First Army's defense area, the First Army can barely protect itself at the moment, let alone take the initiative to attack the new regiment?
The last time the New Regiment attacked the Zhengtai Railway, not only was the First Army helpless, but more than 4,000 people were killed.
The new regiment in northwest Shanxi has become a serious problem for the North China Front. If the new regiment comes again a few times, the First Army will be almost gone.
The battlefield in Southeast Asia was progressing smoothly, the Japanese offensive was going smoothly, and the British and American troops were retreating steadily.
The reason why Japan fully invaded China and threatened to subjugate China within three months was to completely occupy China and then integrate China's huge population and resources to help Japan fight a decisive battle with the US and British forces in Southeast Asia.
However, the Sino-Japanese War lasted for more than four years. Not only did Japan fail to achieve a decisive victory, but a large number of Japanese army forces were pinned down in China.
This time, the Japanese army's attack on Southeast Asia achieved unexpected results, and victory was in sight.
Therefore, Okamura Neiji and others paid little attention to the situation in Southeast Asia, and instead studied how to deal with the new group in northwest Shanxi.
"Your Excellency, General, Lieutenant General Mitsuo Nakazawa, commander of the First Division, has arrived!"
A staff officer walked in hurriedly, bowed his head and saluted Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neji's expression changed: "Invite him in."
"Hi!"
The Japanese staff officer turned and left.
After a while, Lieutenant General Mitsuo Nakazawa appeared at the door wearing a khaki uniform, a lieutenant general's sword on his waist, and a pair of round glasses.
Behind him were two guards with sharp eyes, but they stopped when they reached the door.
Mitsuo Nakazawa crossed the threshold and walked into the war room.
Mizuo Nakazawa graduated from Army University and was classmates with Akira Muto, Naoji Sakai, Noboru Kunisaki and others at the same time.
Moreover, Mitsuo Nakazawa also served as the chief of staff of the 16th Japanese Division that participated in the Jinling Massacre.
The Sixteenth Division of the Japanese Army was the garrison force of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army after the occupation of Jinling. It was also the division that had been stationed in Jinling for the longest time, and it was the culprit division that participated in the Jinling Massacre.
As soon as he entered the door, Mitsuo Nakazawa saluted Okamura Neji with a military salute: "Your Excellency, General!"
Okamura Neji returned the military salute with a solemn expression, then smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation and said: "Nakazawa-kun, you have had a hard journey, please go to the living room and take a rest."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To become the division commander of the first division, you must have the ability.
After two years, Nakazawa Mitsuo will most likely be promoted to commander of a certain army.
For example, the previous division commander of the First Division, Yokoyama Isamu, was promoted to the commander of the 4th Army not long ago.
If Mitsuo Nakazawa performs well in northwestern Shanxi, Okamura Neiji will consider promoting Mitsuo Nakazawa to commander of the First Army.
Mifu Nakazawa looked at the map on the wall: "Your Excellency, General, is this a map of northwest Shanxi?"
"Yes, this is the detailed map of northwest Shanxi!" Neji Okamura said in a rather surprised tone, "Nakazawa-kun also studied the map of northwest Shanxi?"
On the side, Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo were also slightly surprised.
Mitsuo Nakazawa said: "The opponent of the First Division is in northwest Shanxi. Of course, we must study the map of northwest Shanxi thoroughly. Not only must we study the map of northwest Shanxi thoroughly, but we must also study the opponent thoroughly."
Sanfu Nakaze has never looked down upon Li Yunlong and the New Regiment in northwestern Shanxi.
Mitsuo Nakazawa is not a fool to be able to hold the position of commander of the First Army Division. How can a new regiment that has killed so many lieutenant generals and major generals in the empire, as well as tens of thousands of Locust Army soldiers, be so easy to deal with?
The 10th Division paid a heavy price for their arrogance and contempt. Mitsuo Nakazawa did not want to follow in the footsteps of the 10th Division.
Okamura Neji looked more and more satisfied. Mitsuo Nakazawa's attitude made him full of confidence in the First Division.
"Yo Xi!" Okamura Neiji nodded, "I will transfer the 12th Regiment of the Independence Mountain Artillery of the 26th Division to your command."
"Then thank you, General!" Mitsuo Nakazawa looked happy. Since then, the First Division has four artillery regiments, two of which are heavy artillery regiments.
