Chapter 208 I Think You Worry Too Much

After the Sichuan army arrived at Jinshanwei.

The engineers and soldiers began to build minefields, and everyone was very careful.

In order to be able to achieve the effect of spraying, many engineers also hollowed out their heads.

When arranging the minefield, I thought of many local methods.

Moreover, the minefields on the Jinshanwei line are false.

What everyone thinks is that after letting the devils go ashore, they will not be able to figure out the authenticity of the minefield.

In order to be able to trap more devil soldiers and make a big one.

Just when the Sichuan army was working in Jinshanwei.

The fleet of the Devil's Tenth Army has sailed into the waters of Middle-earth.

On an aircraft carrier.

Commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke and Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe.

The two were looking at Jinshanwei's map.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

"Once the imperial army goes ashore, it will surely defeat the troops of Middle-earth with the force of thunder."

Moritake Tanabe sneered: "The war in the Far East will take on a new look."

At this time, the rest of the division heads also came to the headquarters of Yanagawa Heisuke.

The intelligence officer of the Tenth Army also came together.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"According to the latest information from T-Tech, the Jinling Command has formed the seventh theater."

"The scope of the seventh theater is basically along the coast of Taihu Lake."

"In this theater, Liu Fucheng's 23rd Army is the main force."

"The commander of the theater is Liu Fucheng, and the entire theater is composed of Sichuan troops."

Liu Chuanping asked, "Sichuan army?"

"Local army?"

The intelligence officer nodded and bowed: "Hi!"

"The 23rd Group Army is the commander of the Sichuan Army, Liu Fucheng's direct descendant."

"It is also a relatively strong team in Sichuan Province."

"Commander, the Sichuan army cannot be underestimated." Moritake Tanabe said hastily.

He was afraid of Yanagawa Hirasuke, because the 23rd Army was the Sichuan Army, and he underestimated this team.

"The Pingjin Front Army has been tossed miserably by the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army."

"Now the entire Pingjin area, the imperial army has fallen into a passive defensive state."

"Terauchi Shouichi has already sent several telegrams requesting reinforcements to the base camp."

Gu Hisao snorted coldly, "Chief of Staff."

"I think you're overthinking."

"The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army did whatever it wanted in the Pingjin area when the imperial army was heading south."

"at the moment!"

"My tenth army is about to land on the Songhu battlefield."

"The imperial army possesses sea, land and air firepower. In addition, the center of gravity of the empire is already in Songhu."

"Sichuan Army!?" Gu Hisao's eyes shone coldly: "It's just a chicken and a dog."

"Facing the superiority of the imperial army's sea, land and air, they are ultimately cannon fodder."

Ushishima Sadao echoed from the side: "Chief of Staff, Your Excellency Commander."

"I think what Commander Tani Hisao said makes sense."

"The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army is just taking advantage of the transfer of the imperial army's center of gravity."

"Take the opportunity to make waves in the Pingjin area, and wait for the imperial army to come back to life once."

"Commander Terauchi Shouichi will definitely get rid of the 22nd Army."

"I also think that the 23rd Army in the Taihu Lake area is nothing to worry about."

Moji Suematsu was recognized as a handsome man in the little devil's army, and he also shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff."

"Sichuan army, a beggar-like army."

"It's probably easier for the imperial army to beat them than Principal Chang of the Central Army in Songhu."

"As soon as the Tenth Army came ashore, the battle situation in Songhu was set, and we tried our best to quickly disintegrate the front line of the Republic of China army."

"Then enter Jinling!"

Several division heads of the 10th Army were very disdainful of the Sichuan Army in the Seventh Theater.

As the supreme commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Hirasuke also needs to carefully consider the opinions given by the generals.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

Yanagawa Hirasuke said, "Information about the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army."

"Tell me all about it!"

"Among them, which generals are well-known figures?"

The intelligence officer nodded and bowed: "Hi!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Sichuan Army's 23rd Army has five divisions and two independent brigades."

"Tegaoke only collected generals above the rank of major general of the Republic of China Army, the 23rd Army, and there are probably some other troops."

"It has not been collected by Tegao, but according to our estimates, the total strength of the 23rd Army is close to [-]."

"The numbers and commanders of the five divisions and two independent brigades are as follows!"

"144th Division, Division Commander Guo Xunqi."

"145th Division, Commander Rao Guohua."

"146th Division, Commander Liu Zhaoli."

"147th Division, Division Commander Yang Guozhen."

"148th Division, Division Commander Chen Wanren."

"Independent 13th Brigade, brigade commander Takeshi Tanaka."

"Independent 14th Brigade, brigade commander Zhou Shaoxuan."

After the little devil's intelligence officer took the folder in his hand and said the number, he quickly turned to the page about the introduction of the generals of the Sichuan Army.

"Chief of Staff, Your Excellency Commander."

"In the 23rd Army, the most capable generals are Rao Guohua and Guo Xunqi."

"These two are recognized fierce generals."

Liu Chuanping asked, "Is there any detailed combat information about the two of them?"

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The intelligence officer lowered his head, "I'm very sorry."

"Because of the intelligence department of the empire, they don't pay enough attention to local troops like the Sichuan Army."

"We haven't collected a lot of information for the time being."

"So, there is no combat information about Guo Xunqi and Rao Guohua."

Hear it!

Yanagawa Heisuke frowned slightly, "What's going on, the Imperial Intelligence Department, what are you doing with the funds?"

"Hi!" The intelligence officer could only lower his head helplessly, "Your Excellency, Commander, I will hurry up."

"As soon as possible, sort out the information on the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army and the relevant generals."

"Hmm..." Yanagawa Heirasuke nodded lightly.

Moritake Tanabe asked: "Does the 23rd Army have heavy weapons?"

"Chief of Staff!" The intelligence officer looked at Moritake Tanabe.

"The 23rd Army has just undergone a facelift in Hankou."

"According to the news from the Empire's spies, the 23rd Army lacks heavy weapons."

"A unit at the division level has no artillery directly under it, neither a mountain artillery nor a field artillery."

"Only regiment-level units have mortar companies."

"Instead, the Artillery Regiment directly under the 23rd Group Army has 24 Shanghai-made g-style mountain cannons."

Hearing that the Sichuan army was still using the orogeny cannons from the Qing Dynasty, Gu Shoufu and others couldn't help laughing.

This kind of rubbish artillery is not as good as the Empire's [-]-type mountain artillery.

Such an army can defeat a single division of the empire.

After hearing that the weapons of the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army were inferior, Yanagawa Heisuke looked at the map.

He thought for a while, then turned to look at Moritake Tanabe: "Chief of Staff."

"How long will we be able to reach Jinshanwei?!"

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Moritake Tanabe stepped forward: "According to the schedule, we will be on November 11th at one o'clock in the morning."

"We will be able to reach Jinshanwei, and there are still two days to go."

Hearing this, Yanagawa Hirasuke picked up the baton and said, "Order!"

"After the Tenth Army defeated the defenders of Jinshanwei, the troops immediately divided up."

Yanagawa Heisuke looked at Moji Suematsu, "Matsumoto-kun!"

Moji Suematsu stepped forward: "Your Excellency, Commander, please give an order."

"You led the 114th Division to detour along the south bank of Taihu Lake and swept the Sichuan Army in the seventh theater."

"Do you have any objections?" After Yanagawa Heisuke finished speaking, he waited for Suematsu Shigeru to reply.

"Report to the commander." Moji Suematsu stood upright, "My 114th Division will definitely complete the task."

Later, Yanagawa Heisuke ordered Hisao Tani again, "Mr. Hisao Tani, you lead the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment."

"Go north along the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway, and cut off the rear of the defenders in the Songhu area."

"Cooperate with the dispatched troops from Shanghai City, and jointly wipe out the frontal Republic of China troops."

Gu Hisao also said, "Hi!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, don't worry, my Sixth Division will definitely not let you down."

"Hmm..." Liu Chuanping responded.

Then an order was issued to Ushishima Sadao's 18th Division.

The No.18 Division, as a reserve force, was divided into two parts to cooperate with the Sixth Division and the 114th Division.

"My lords, the prestige of the empire is in this battle!"

"Fortune lasts forever!" Liu Chuanheisuke yelled.

The rest of the devil officers also echoed: "Lucky for a long time!"
