    On May 18, after several days of preparations, the main force of the first division and one brigade belonging to the Ninth Army had completed its assembly, and another division was also being assembled.

    That night, the Independent Brigade crossed the defense zone of the Ninth Army and attacked Huai'an and Wanquan on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou.

    At the same time, the main force of the 177th Division also appeared on the Zhangbei front line, and its intention to attack Zhangjiakou was very obvious.

    News that the main force of Li Guoyao's unit was invading was quickly sent to Okamura Neiji's desk by the special agents of the Special High School. After confirming that the target of Li Guoyao's unit was Zhangjiakou, Okamura Neiji's fighting spirit was also aroused.

    Think about how glorious the Imperial Japanese Army was a few years ago. They captured the capital of China in less than four months at the beginning of the war, and occupied most of China in half a year.

    The Japanese Army marched straight in. In the Beiping area, no matter whether it was big cities like Beiping, Tianjin, Chengde, Zhangjiakou, or Taiyuan, or small and medium-sized cities like Baoding, Langfang, or Handan, they could not stop the pace of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Whether it was the Japanese government troops or the local warlords, they collapsed at the first touch. Even more so, General Itagaki Seishiro commanded only one and a half divisions and defeated more than 30 infantry divisions of Yan Xishan in the World War II zone.

    In Nanjing, more than 200 soldiers of the Sixth Division dared to pursue more than 100,000 Japanese government troops. At the most glorious time, a few Japanese ronin holding the Japanese flag dared to occupy a Japanese county.

    But look at it now, it¡¯s just a little Li Guoyao who dares to challenge the entire Northern Front face to face, completely stepping on the face of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    In front of this guy, the senior officers of the Imperial Army were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, and the foundation of rule that the Empire had finally established in North China was eliminated like a collapsed house.

    As a rare strategist in Japan, Okamura Neiji knew very well that this battle was a huge gamble by the Japanese Empire on the fate of the country and the future of the nation.

    He knew very well what the Japanese Empire would face if this war failed. Perhaps what the Imperial Japanese Army did in the Japanese capital would be repeated for the Yamato nation. This was Okamura Neiji no matter what.  None of them want to see it.

    So he vowed to win this war because the Japanese Empire had no way out.

    Secondly, from the perspective of his personal future, he has no way out, because the entire Suicha area was lost when he served as the commander of the front army. If he cannot recover it, this will be the biggest stain in his military career.

    Okamura Neji is a proud man. He will never accept this fact. Therefore, this battle must be fought, no matter how high the price is.

    Okamura Neiji immediately ordered Lieutenant General Kampa Jutaro to take full command of the battle on the Zhangjiakou front line, and at the same time ordered all troops to assemble in the predetermined area according to the original plan.

    On May 18, the 1st Brigade of the 177th Division entered Huai'an County, the 2nd Brigade entered Guoleizhuang Town, and the 3rd Brigade and the division headquarters and technical arms followed closely behind.

    At the same time, Lieutenant General Kampa Jutaro also directed the Japanese army to seize all bridges, passes and commanding heights along the route to Zhangjiakou.

    At the same time, a large number of troops were mobilized to the outskirts of Zhangjiakou to build fortifications to prevent the Chinese army from breaking through the Wanquan line and approaching Zhangjiakou city.

    For a time, both sides gathered nearly 100,000 troops in the Zhangjiakou area. The atmosphere on the front line was extremely tense, and a war was imminent.

    Guoleizhuang Town, the former enemy headquarters.

    "Have you checked everything out? What is the troop deployment and firepower arrangement of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou?" Zhang Tengjiao asked in a deep voice, staring closely at Zhou Chu beside him.

    In order to coordinate 177's attack on Zhangjiakou, Li Guoyao specially transferred Lu Guohua's right-hand man Zhou Chu to the front finger and asked him to serve as the intelligence chief for Zhang Tengjiao.

    "Master, according to reliable information, Okamura Neiji directly transferred the independent mixed eighth brigade to Zhangjiakou this time. In addition, there are more than 6,000 people originally stationed in Mongolia, and there are no less than 20,000 miscellaneous people."

    "Only 20,000 people?"

    "Master, these are just the troops in Zhangjiakou city at the moment. According to the news we have received, the Japanese 35th Division is rushing to Zhangjiakou at full speed. Its leading troops have already arrived in Peiping. It will take at most one day to reach Zhangjiakou. By then the city will  The number of Japanese and puppet troops there will reach more than 35,000."

    Then Zhou Chu continued: "In addition, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of technical troops from the Shandong and Henan battlefields to go north, including two tank regiments and three artillery regiments. In addition, our people also found a large number of Japanese fighter planes turning around.  When they arrived at Nanyuan Airport and Dongjuzi Airport, they were obviously coming for our department."

    Zhang Tengjiao immediately showed a sneer and said: "OkamuraThis old devil really thinks highly of me. He has a division plus a mixed brigade, as well as so many technical units. What a big deal!  "

    "It is indeed a big deal. Zhangjiakou City actually used so many troops. This battle is really difficult to fight." Deputy Division Commander Gao Hu said solemnly.

    "Hahaha, when the soldiers come, they will block the water and use the soil to cover it up. What's not easy to fight?"

    "Master, whether it is the 8th Independent Brigade or the 35th Division, they are the elites in North China, and Zhangjiakou City is not a small county like Huai'an. The city there is high and the walls are deep, so a force attack will definitely not work!  Gao Hu said.

    "Elites? Our 177th Division has always been fighting against the elites of the Japs. If they are not elites, we don't bother to care about them!"

    Then Zhang Tengjiao turned to Zhou Chu and said: "Director Zhou, your intelligence department has made great achievements this time. I will ask the chief for your credit when the battle is over."

    "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation!" Zhou Chu said hurriedly.

    "Continue to keep an eye on the little devils in Zhangjiakou, and report them immediately if there is any movement." Zhang Tengjiao said.

    "yes!"

    After Zhou Chu went out, Zhang Tengjiao looked at the high-power map again and again with a magnifying glass, and then measured it with a pencil and ruler.

    After a long time, Zhang Tengjiao said slowly: "This little devil's commander really has two brushes. He has arranged two solid defense lines with Zhangjiakou as the center within a combat radius of thirty kilometers. It seems that he wants to  Fighting a tough battle with us in this area really requires a lot of effort!"

    Chief of Staff Zhang Hao immediately said: "Master, we have conducted on-the-spot surveys of the terrain outside Zhangjiakou before. The farther away from Zhangjiakou, the more dangerous the terrain becomes, especially when you reach Guoleizhuang Town, it is already a hilly area. Although it is considered a hilly area.  It¡¯s not steep, but there are many bridges and passes.¡±

    "Right now, the Japanese and puppet troops have built a large number of fortifications. Once we want to force a safe passage from Datong to Zhangjiakou through here, we must have a head-on conflict with the Japanese and puppet troops. What the troops will face are enemies and soldiers armed to the teeth.  It¡¯s a solid fortification, so Lao Gao and I agree that we don¡¯t recommend a forceful attack.¡±

    Zhang Tengjiao immediately asked: "What if we don't attack by force? Do we have any other options?"

    "Yes, we can take a detour, bypass Wanquan, and launch an attack from the back of Zhangjiakou. For example, we can capture Chongli first!"

    However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao said directly: "We can't make a detour. Let's not talk about how long it will take to make a detour to attack Chongli. Chongli is located near Peiping and is mainly mountainous. Even if our army really  Even if we reach Chongli, it will be impossible to capture it in a short time."

    "Furthermore, some of our heavy equipment cannot be transported, and the logistics supply line will become more fragile and more dangerous."

    "so what should I do now?"

    Zhang Tengjiao immediately said: "What can we do? Naturally, we are going to be tough! Although the little devils have a certain terrain advantage this time and are in a favorable position for defense, their morale is not very high, and most of the troops are  Logically speaking, those who have arrived here after a long march are relatively tired. If we wait for work, we can definitely fight a dog-like battle of annihilation!"

    "Annihilation War, Master, do you want to eat all these tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Zhangjiakou City?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.

    "I haven't thought about eating them all. It's okay to eat one or two groups of dogs!"

    "how to eat?"

    "Lure the enemy deep and cut off one of his fingers!" Zhang Tengjiao said in a deep voice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
