Chapter 551 The confidence of Major General Otani Kei of the 33rd Brigade
"How long does it take to reach China Teng County?"
Major General Kei Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army was riding on a Type 97 tank and asked Inada Satoru, a Japanese reconnaissance officer and soldier who had just collected intelligence.
"Hai! Our reconnaissance troops have discovered the frontline defense positions of China Teng County in front!"
"The China Army is constructing fortifications at the frontline positions of Xiangcheng, Jiushan, Wangfuzhuang, and Jinshan to the east and west of the China Boundary River!"
"Your Excellency, please give me the combat order!"
After the Japanese reconnaissance officer Inada Satoru paid a military salute,
Immediately report loudly.
"Yo Xi! What is the number of that garrison? Which one is it?"
"Is it still the 122nd Division, the main force of the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army, as announced by our intelligence department?"
Regarding this report from the Japanese reconnaissance officer Inada Satoru,
Major General Otani Kei of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army immediately showed a high fighting spirit and continued to ask.
"Hai! Yes!"
Japanese reconnaissance officer Inada Satoru agreed loudly.
"Yo Xi! Then let these Sichuan Army troops with inferior weapons and equipment have a try on the artillery bombing of our Imperial Army. What is it like?"
"I heard that He Feiyang, an officer of the China and Sichuan Army who has made a lot of limelight in the capital, is also from the Sichuan Army. Therefore, for the China and Sichuan Army troops, our senior officials want to kill them without mercy!"
"Leave no one alive, it's best to capture that damn Sichuan Army officer He Feiyang alive, because there will be heavy bonuses!"
"And the opportunity to raise it!"
As soon as he heard that the troops to be dealt with were the troops of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army,
Major General Kei Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army became more and more willing to fight.
And he also showed a confident smile that he would definitely win.
Because the Japanese army under his command that attacked Teng County had a total strength of about 15,000 troops.
The main units under its jurisdiction are: the 10th and 63rd Regiments of the 33rd Brigade; the 10th Field Artillery Regiment (missing 1 brigade and 2 squadrons); the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment (missing 2 brigades);
There are also the 3rd Battalion of the Garrison Army Artillery Regiment; the 10th Independent Machine Gun Battalion; the 10th and 12th Independent Light Armored Vehicle Squadrons; the Temporary Field Artillery Squadron; the Temporary Mountain Artillery Squadron; the 1st Squadron of the 10th Engineer Regiment; and the 15th Depot Automobile Squadron.
squadron.
The combat effectiveness is very strong,
But the disadvantage is that this unit of his is breaking away from the main force and becoming a veritable lone army, which is penetrating deep into the defense line where the national army is stationed.
If you go forward alone without timely reinforcements from other units, you will become a unit that is easily ambushed and attacked.
Although the Japanese troops on this route were equipped with a large number of artillery, they had a strong combat advantage in terms of artillery firepower.
Can easily suppress Sichuan troops without heavy weapons and equipment,
Of course, this is only the Sichuan Army troops in the original time and space, not the Sichuan Army troops in this time and space.
Therefore, once the Japanese army attacks Teng County, it is completely unrealistic to take the initiative by relying on artillery superiority.
However, because Teng County is the northern gate guarding Xuzhou, its geographical location is very important, and it is also the throat guarding the Tianjin-Shanghai Railway, so it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
It is also because of this,
The arrogant and arrogant Major General Otani Kei of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army also took a fancy to this advantageous geographical location, so he launched this lone in-depth operation.
Hope to be the first Japanese army to occupy the north gate of Xuzhou,
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone into such a deep battle alone,
That is, he did not regard the Sichuan troops with inferior weapons and equipment as shown by Japanese military intelligence as his combat opponents.
He believed that his Japanese troops could easily sweep away the Sichuan Army's 122nd Division.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
After the words of Major General Kai Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army fell,
All the Japanese officers nodded quickly, their voices deafening.
"Then let our artillery troops prepare for artillery bombing!"
"Be sure to capture all the frontline defense villages and towns of the China-Sichuan Army within half an hour and blow them into rubble!"
"Let all the military flags of our 33rd Brigade be planted on the frontline defensive positions of the China Sichuan Army!!"
"Within three days, I must capture the entire China Teng County!"
"Whoever is the first to invade China Teng County and plant the flag of our 33rd Brigade on the city wall of China Teng County, I will promote him to the first level! There will also be bonuses!"
Seeing all the Japanese officers agreeing with him,
Major General Kei Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army also did not hesitate and issued the task of immediately carrying out artillery bombing operations.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Following the issuance of the latest combat order from Major General Kei Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army,
All the Japanese officers loudly nodded in agreement again.
But what they didn’t expect was that,
Just when these Japanese officers began to execute combat orders,
Their every move was monitored by He Feiyang's Sichuan Army troops, so they soon learned about the Japanese 33rd Brigade and began to prepare to use artillery units to bombard the frontline troops of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army.
So he immediately ordered the clone troops to enter in advance,
In particular, the cloned 75mm field artillery unit was prepared to take the lead in bombarding the Japanese artillery unit.
Prepare to take a preemptive strike and blow up the Japanese artillery unit first, destroying the most relied-upon artillery unit of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.
