Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 312 There is no battle at General Ridge!

As soon as Miyano Dao heard this, he said in a condensed voice: "In this way, the number of defenders in Mingjia Town will be as high as 300.".

"There are so many defensive troops in a small Mingjia Town. Even if the enemy army from the direction of Longxudu detours to attack the enemy near Mingjia Town, the imperial army of three infantry brigades guards a Mingjia Town. It will be impossible to defend it. There is a problem, Commander."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded and said, "That's it."

"After all, we can't underestimate the enemy."

Michi Miyano nodded, then waved to Junyi Kitamura, the communication staff officer of the command headquarters standing beside him, and said, "According to your Excellency, Commander, call back the 41st Division and order Taro Takeshita to transfer another infantry brigade to go south to strengthen the army." The defensive force of Mingjia Town in the rear."

"Let the last southward infantry brigade build a defensive position on the outskirts of Mingjia Town and garrison it!"

Upon hearing this, Major Kitamura Junyi paused heavily and said, "Yes, Chief of Staff, Your Excellency Commander!".

Immediately, Major Kitamura Junyi turned around and prepared to return to the communication office.

However, Yoshinan Shinozuka stopped him.

"By the way, let Taro Takeshita think of a way. You can't wait for the dawn to wait for the aviation fighters to launch the bombing and cooperate with them."

Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Kitamura Junyi: "During the day, the first batch of [-] Imperial fighter planes dispatched to cooperate with them were all shot down by others, which already shows that Xu Rui's air defense firepower is not weak.".

"Don't expect the aviation fighters to effectively cooperate with their cross-river attack after dawn. Let Takeshita Taro figure out a way to see if he can cross the river from other sections of the Nanliu River to attack!"

Kitamura Junyi immediately replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!", and then immediately returned to the communication office, ordering the communication soldiers under his command to call back the 41st Division immediately.

After Kitamura Junyi walked away and returned to the communication office, the chief of staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi, said: "Commander, even if it is daylight, we will send fighter planes to cooperate with the 41st Division and other departments.".

"I'm afraid we only have ten or twenty fighters that we can send out now. The battlefields in other directions now also need the headquarters to deploy fighters to cooperate. If we send the last few fighters directly under the command to Northwest Shanxi With the cooperation on the Nanliujiang front line, there will be almost no fighter planes of the imperial army in the sky above other battlefields."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshinan, who looked at the map and was silent for a full minute, thought for a while, and then said to Miyano Michiichi: "Contact the Front Army Headquarters in Yanjing City, and ask Your Excellency the Front Army General for support!".

"Your Excellency, General, please deploy a batch of fighter jets and bombers to our First Army, and report our latest attack on Xu Rui and other enemy troops to Your Excellency the General."

Hearing this, Miyano Michiichi thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Isn't this...".

Miyano Michiichi didn't say the last sentence, but Yoshinan Shinozuka understood what Miyano Michiichi meant.

"Now is not the time to consider my own dignity, so ask the front army headquarters for fighter support!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan gritted his teeth and said to Miyano Michiichi.

"Commander, all right!"

Miyano Michiichi knew that this was Yoshinan Shinozuka brazenly asking General Tada Toshi of the Front Army Headquarters for support, so he could only nod his head and say in a low voice.

Then, Miyano Michiichi asked a staff officer to go to the communications office, and asked the communications staff officer to send a report overnight to the headquarters of the Devil Front Army in Yanjing City, requesting to dispatch fighter planes to the First Army.

Of course, the Devil Yanjing City Front Army Command did transfer some fighters to Shinozuka Yoshinan's First Army afterwards, but the number was not many.

After all, the devils now need too many fighters in the battlefields in various directions.

And a few minutes later, somewhere on the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, in the military account headquarters of the 41st Division.

"Division Commander, the headquarters has called back."

Major General Kazuo Tachibana, communications staff officer of the 41st Division, took a reply telegram and walked up to Taro Takeshita and Major General Hideki Tada, chief of staff of the 41st Division, stood at attention and reported: "Chief of Staff, this is a telegram!".

With that said, Tada Hideki handed the telegram to Takeshita Taro.

After taking it, Taro Takeshita read it quickly, then handed it to Hideki Tada, heaved a sigh of relief by the way, and said, "Mr. Tada, I am afraid there will not be much fighter support after dawn. The headquarters did not clearly state that fighter planes can be sent to cooperate with us after dawn.".

"After all, the 303rd Regiment of the enemy Jinsui Army on the north bank now has anti-aircraft weapons with 40mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. It is not a problem to attack the fighter planes of the Imperial Army."

While listening, Tada Hideki said aloud: "Division commander, the commander asked us to send out reconnaissance troops as much as possible to find the place to cross the river before the dawn of the strike.".

"It's just that the difficulty is a bit higher now. Xu Rui must have strengthened the defensive patrol on the north bank now. It will be very difficult to sneak across the river next."

Takeshita Taro nodded silently, now his head hurts.

"In addition, the commander is worried about the safety of Mingjia Town in the rear."

Tada Hideki then pointed to the telegram, and continued: "Let's transfer another infantry brigade to the south to strengthen the defenders of Mingjia Town.".

"Master, this?"

Takeshita Taro looked at Mingjia Town on the map, then thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, here at the front line, there is no way to kill Nanliujiang.".

"With so many troops in hand, it's no problem to transfer another infantry brigade to the south to strengthen the defensive force of Mingjia Town in the rear. Just follow the command of the commander and transfer another infantry brigade to the south from the 58th Infantry Regiment. Go down to Mingjia Town."

Seeing this, Tada Hideki nodded and said, "Yes, division commander!".

Immediately, Tada Hideki waved his hand, signaling a devil staff officer in the headquarters to go out and dispatch troops.

After the devil's staff officer went out, Tada Hideki said to Takeshita Taro in a concentrated voice: "Master, what should we do next?".

"According to the commander's suggestion, send more reconnaissance troops to investigate along the river to see if we can find other places suitable for crossing the river. If not, then we may have to overthrow the steamroller tactics previously formulated by the headquarters."

Looking at the map, Takeshita Taro gritted his teeth and said immediately.

"The commander of the division means that if you can't cross the river, then divide your troops and make a detour?"

As expected of Takeshita Taro's chief of staff, Tada Hideki immediately guessed what Takeshita Taro meant, and said in a low voice.

"That's right!"

Takeshita Taro gritted his teeth and said: "Although we still have 190 iron assault boats in our hands, Xu Rui is now defending on the north bank along the river.".

"The possibility of our large troops crossing the Nanliu River has gradually decreased. Therefore, the following steamroller tactics may not be able to continue. What's more, the headquarters also reminded in the telegram that the headquarters may not be able to dispatch fighters to cooperate with us after dawn. .”

After a pause, Takeshita Taro said in a condensed voice: "So, we may have to change our combat tactics next.".

"Divide the troops and make a detour, where should we detour from?"

Tada Hideki is not a pedantic person, of course he knows that the battlefield situation is constantly changing, so it is reasonable to change his own attack tactics in due course.

"Let's make a roundabout breakthrough from Jiangjun Ridge!"

Pointing to a location on the map, Taro Takeshita gritted his teeth and said in a concentrated voice.

"General Ridge?"

Tada Hideki looked at General Ridge on the map and whispered involuntarily.

Since the start of the war in Jiangjunling, there has been no war.
