    Chapter 171: Japanese military trends (new book, please watch)

    When Li Guoyao's troops were resting and training on the front line in Quanjiao, the situation across the country changed again. Shortly after the Japanese army occupied Nanjing and Hangzhou, the confident Japanese army immediately continued to expand its occupied areas in North and Central China.

    In late December, the Japanese base camp called the front line and ordered the troops in North and Central China to advance from the occupied Taigu in Shanxi, Anyang in Henan, Tai'an in Shandong, Chuxian in northern Anhui, and Jingjiang in northern Jiangsu to completely defeat the resistance of the Chinese army.  .

    The Japanese army base camp specially formulated a detailed battle plan, requiring the Japanese army in Shanxi to capture the Yellow River in southern and western Shanxi; while the Japanese army in Shandong was to capture the line of the Grand Canal in southern Shandong; in addition, in central China, it was to capture from Chu County to Bengbu.  along the Huaihe River, and attacked northern Jiangsu from Nantong and Rugao.

    In addition, the Japanese army, which was deeply aware of its lack of troops, began to look for pro-Japanese politicians to form a puppet regime after occupying the Pingjin area to reduce the logistical pressure on the Japanese army.  On September 4, they established a secret service department within the North China Front Army specifically in charge of government affairs, appointed Maj. Gen. Kita Makoto as the secret service chief, and began to identify traitor organizations that were pro-Japanese and puppet regime.

    On December 14, after three months of planning, the Japanese army finally established the puppet "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" in North China, headed by the traitor Wang Kemin.

    At the same time, the Japanese army dispatched heavy troops to carry out security operations to suppress the anti-Japanese forces in North China, in an attempt to unite North China and Northeast China and become a military base for invading China and opposing the Soviet Union, so as to make full use of North China's coal, steel, etc. to develop its military industry.

    Facing the crazy attack of the Japanese army, the performance of Yan Xishan's 30 divisions in the second theater of the Kuomintang was speechless. Although the Battle of Xinkou had been fought for several months, it was defeated by only one and a half divisions of Banyuan Zhengshilang.  A, now most of the main force has withdrawn to the southern Shanxi area.

    The 27 divisions of the 1st Theater Army commanded by Cheng Qian were also defeated by the main force of the Japanese army. Most of them have withdrawn along the Pinghan Road to the south of the Yellow River. So far, only the 27 divisions of the 5th Theater Army commanded by Li Zongren are fighting in the Xuzhou area.  It is facing the attack of the Japanese 10th Division in the Tai'an area of ??Jinpu Road, but it also has to deal with the attack of the Japanese 13th Division on the Chuxian and Mingguang lines in the southern section of Jinpu Road.

    It is worth mentioning that the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party in Shanxi went to the enemy's rear to organize the masses, establish an anti-Japanese regime, expand the anti-Japanese team, and insist on carrying out the anti-Japanese war based on guerrilla warfare behind the enemy's rear.

    However, these troops had little to do with the independent brigade. After the news came, Li Guoyao just took a look, but the intelligence about the 13th Division attracted Li Guoyao's attention.

    Three days ago, the Japanese 13th Division had occupied Chu County, northeast of Quanjiao. The Central China Front Army Headquarters originally planned to order the 13th Division to attack north along Jinpu Road to support the 10th Division of the Second Army in fighting in the Jinan area.  However, considering that it was easy to disperse the troops without sufficient preparation, the 13th Division was temporarily ordered to be stationed in Chu County, and the division was used as the main force to launch an attack on the Chinese army in the Quanjiao area, and began to restore the nearby  Railway, gradually advancing northward.

    After receiving the order, the main force of the 13th Division attacked from Chu County to Quanjiao, and the progress was very fast!

    Quanjiao, independent brigade temporary brigade headquarters, an emergency military meeting is being held!

    In the small conference room, everyone in the brigade was present except for a few regiment-level cadres who were training in the mountainous area.

    Li Guoyao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked a little solemn. Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, he immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, we just received news that the main force of the Japanese 13th Division is attacking Quanjiao. The main force is attacking Quanjiao.  It¡¯s already Hushan, let¡¯s think about what to do!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzz in the meeting. After a while, Ma Desheng stood up and said: "Brigade seat, this 13th Division of the Japanese Army is incredible. It is Japan's original standing A-level division, and it is even more impressive."  The ace in the Class A division has the strongest combat effectiveness."

    "Brigade, I wonder how many troops the Japs have in attacking Quanjiao this time?"

    "Come on, come on. We have broken out of Nanjing City. Are we still afraid of an attack by a Japanese division?"

    "You're right, when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the soil, and just beat him to pieces!"

    ?¡­

    ?? signaled everyone to be quiet, and then Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "Due to limited intelligence, it is not clear how many troops the Japs have going south to Quanjiao this time, but I estimate that it will not be more than one regiment!"

    "There are two reasons. The first is that the most important target of the Japs going north is not Quanjiao, but Bengbu. After all, the Japs' strategic goal is to attack north along Jinpu Road to support the Second Army's operations in Shandong. Quanjiao and Bengbu  There is no comparison at all, ?Even if we want to attack, it is impossible to mobilize too many troops.  Secondly, the Japanese 13th Division suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. In addition, so far, there is only one unit of our independent brigade stationed in the whole area. The little devils obviously will not pay too much attention to it, so I think the enemy can dispatch at most one unit.  The strength of the alliance!  "

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu said in a deep voice: "Brigade, even a regiment is a lot. You also know the combat effectiveness of the little devils. An ordinary infantry squad has a machine gun group and a grenade group.  , two rifle groups, the supporting firearms include 2 crooked light machine guns and 2 grenade launchers, and the riflemen are issued Type 38 rifles, which are more powerful than our entire company."

    "The configuration at the wing level is even more amazing. A typical Japanese infantry wing is equipped with 36 heavy machine guns, 54 light machine guns, about 2,400 rifles, 54 grenade launchers, and 10 infantry guns.  There are 4 mountain guns, 6 anti-tank guns, and 256 horse-drawn carriages. The firepower is stronger than our entire division. If the little devil really sends a regiment of troops to attack Quanjiao this time, it will be really hard for us to defend it!  "

    Li Guoyao nodded. This is not because Xu Hu inflated other people's ambitions and destroyed his own prestige. The kid's actual combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. A regiment of his can indeed fight against a division of the Nationalist Government, and can win the battle.

    Of course, this is mainly due to the powerful firepower of the Japanese infantry regiment. In addition, one of its infantry regiments has nearly 4,000 people. Coupled with the advantages of training and command, the combat effectiveness of a Japanese infantry regiment often exceeds that of one of the National Government.  The first-class main force.

    But this situation is not absolute. After all, things like marching and fighting are not that simple. You cannot say white is white or black is black. This is the scoring situation.

    Generally speaking, if it is a field battle, one regiment of the Japanese National Government and one division of the National Government are absolutely no problem, and may even be more than enough.  If you think about the Battle of Xinkou, you will know that at the beginning, Seishiro Bengaki commanded only one and a half divisions, which was only 35,000 men at full strength. However, the National Government mobilized more than 30 divisions and brigades and more than 200,000 men!

    As a result, they were beaten by the little devils and lost their armor. The Battle of Xinkou ended in a disastrous defeat, and even the important city of Taiyuan was lost.

    But if it is a positional battle or a city defense battle, it will not be easy for a Japanese regiment to defeat a Chinese infantry division.  For example, during the Battle of Nanjing, the 88th Division was stationed at the Yuhuatai position. Although the total number of officers and soldiers of the 88th Division was less than 6,000, it was able to withstand the attack of the Japanese Sixth Division for a full week.

    Even when the Japs later captured Yuhuatai, the number of soldiers they lost was no less than that of the 88th Division. At this time, a Chinese infantry division was much stronger than a Japanese regiment.

    At this time, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Li Guoyao¡¯s face to see what he would say!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
