Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

After all, during this battle, both the Dragon Soul Special Forces and the Ghost Team suffered casualties.

After listening to Su Zheng's battle plan, Zhou Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, I have some suggestions."

Su Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Oh? What are your opinions and ideas?"

Zhou Weiguo looked at the topographic map on the table and said, "Captain, I think there are no problems with other combat deployments, but isn't the number of troops at the north gate a little too small?"

"There are only about 60 to 70 people at the North Gate, which is not enough to guarantee that they can attack the North Gate."

"Or... once the fighting gets fierce, the Japanese inside will see that Ping'an County can no longer be defended, so they may evacuate from the north gate. After all, there are mountains not far from the north gate, which is a good cover!"

Su Zheng smiled and said slowly: "Weiguo, the question you raised is a very good question!"

"But what I want to say is that I deliberately let them evacuate from the north gate!"

Deliberately let the Japanese and puppet troops in the city evacuate from the north gate?

This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Chen Zhengguo and others all looked at Su Zheng.

After a pause, Su Zheng continued, "Everyone, we have been fighting fiercely with the Second Division outside the city for three days."

"During these three days, the defenders of Ping'an County, Takeshita Shun, and others had many opportunities to evacuate Ping'an County and flee the city, but they did not evacuate, which means they would not abandon Ping'an County unless it was absolutely necessary!"

"I am leaving a gap for them at the North Gate now, hoping that they will evacuate from the North Gate when necessary, so that we can annihilate them all outside the North Gate and avoid a protracted street battle in Ping'an County!"

“This is my fundamental purpose!”

PS: Some data in Chapter 437 are wrong. For example, there are more than people in the independent camp. This is wrong. I have modified it. Please forgive me.

Chapter 441 Battle Report! The Japanese top brass was shocked and the whole country was in an uproar!

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "My purpose is very simple. It is to allow them to have a gap to escape when they are forced to abandon Ping'an County."

"This way, we can avoid street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi and others naturally understood what Su Zheng meant.

After hearing Su Zheng's explanation, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Su Zheng's clever deployment!

The reason is simple. If the independent battalion strictly guards the four gates of Ping'an County, then after the four gates are breached, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will inevitably fight like trapped beasts and engage in street fighting with the independent battalion.

Street fighting is not conducive to the independent battalion's fighting.

Because Ping'an County is a large county, there are many different types of buildings in the county.

Roach is distributed in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, this made it impossible for the independent battalion's large troop group to deploy in the city.

In other words, the streets and alleys in the city severed the connections between the various troops.

If the independent battalion really engaged in street fighting with the Japanese in the city, it would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

After all, the independent battalion was not familiar with Ping'an County. If the Japanese and puppet troops in the city hid in the dark, fired a few shots and ran away, it would be really hard to defend against.

In addition, once fierce street fighting breaks out, most of the buildings and houses in the entire Ping'an County will be destroyed.

The losses caused by this are very great.

Su Zheng didn't want to find Ping'an County in ruins when he took over.

In addition, once the fierce street fighting breaks out, it means that the Ping'an County Battle cannot be ended in a short period of time.

Now the Japanese and puppet troops in northwest Shanxi and even the entire Second War Zone are rushing towards Ping'an County.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the entire independent battalion and the new regiment.

810

It was precisely because of this that Su Zheng deliberately left a gap at the north gate of the city, so that when the Japanese and puppet troops and Takeshita Shun in the city were forced to abandon Ping'an County, they would not choose to stay and fight in the street battles, but to evacuate from the north gate.

Once the Japanese and puppet troops in the city evacuated from the north gate, Su Zheng would have made arrangements at the north gate in advance, so they could all be wiped out outside the north gate and street fighting could be avoided.

Simply put, if the independent battalion engaged in street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County, the independent battalion would suffer heavy casualties, Ping'an County would suffer heavy losses, and the entire Ping'an County battle would last longer.

This is also the reason why Su Zheng wants to avoid street fighting.

Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but give Su Zheng a thumbs up and said, "Captain, this move of yours is really brilliant. Why didn't I think of it?"

Su Zheng: "Anyway, this time we are attacking Ping'an County, we must make a quick decision. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!"

Everyone present nodded.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to refine the details of the entire military operation and related combat plans for the siege, etc.

after an hour.

Su Zheng immediately assembled his troops and besieged Ping'an County.

The main force of the independent battalion was responsible for the East Gate.

Sun Desheng's cavalry company and local militia forces were responsible for the west city gate.

The special forces company and the reconnaissance company were responsible for the South Gate.

The battalion headquarters' directly affiliated troops, the Dragon Soul Special Forces and the Ghost Team are responsible for the north gate.

Everything was ready, and the large army directly surrounded Ping'an County, and the war was about to break out.

............

Taiyuan.

First Army Headquarters.

Commander's Office.

In recent days, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshiya Miyano have not been able to eat or sleep well.

There is no way. The battle for Ping'an County is now intensified. The entire northwest of Shanxi and even the Second War Zone are in chaos, with the sound of gunfire everywhere.

This is already the third day, but still no troops have arrived to reinforce Ping'an County.

Such a result made Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshiya Miyano very helpless.

What can be done?

The Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army were surprisingly united and worked together to block the enemy's reinforcements, which was very helpless.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the battle situation map on the table, looked at Miyano Shun with a serious expression, and said: "Miyano Shun, what do you think of this battle? How else can we reinforce Ping'an County?"

"Now all the reinforcements we arranged have been blocked by the anti-Japanese forces. I have also issued death orders to all combat units, asking them to reinforce Ping'an County at all costs, but there has not been much progress so far!"

"So far, no reinforcement troops have arrived at Ping'an County!"

Miyano Shun's face was also very solemn, and he slowly said: "General Shinozuka, the entire battlefield situation has exceeded our expectations!"

"In other words... we have lost control of the battlefield situation. Now we just hope that Ping'an County can hold out for a few more days, wait for our reinforcements to arrive!"

"As long as we have a support force arriving in Ping'an County, the crisis in Ping'an County will naturally be resolved!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly and said, "I understand what you mean...but how long do you think Ping'an County can be defended?"

"The Second Division's first line of defense has been captured by the Independent Battalion. Now Ping'an County is in danger!"

How long can Ping'an County be defended?

Miyano Shunya didn't know.

However, Ping'an County has a Second Division, which is its only confidence.

After all, the 2nd Division is one of the regular divisions, and it is also the most elite combat unit in the Kwantung Army and even the entire Japanese Army.

The combat effectiveness of the Second Division is very strong.

A division blocks the attack of a battalion...this shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Miyano Shun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "General Shinozuka, I think that although the first line of defense of the Second Division has been captured by the Independent Battalion, victory and defeat on the battlefield are common in the military."

"The first line of defense was captured by the Independent Battalion, but that doesn't mean the Second Division can't take it back!"

"Therefore, in my opinion, with the Second Division stationed in Ping'an County, it shouldn't be a problem to defend Ping'an County for ten days or eight days!"

"After all, the Second Division is our most elite Type A combat unit. It not only has a heavy artillery regiment but also a tank and armored vehicle unit. Its offensive power is very strong!"

"If we can hold out for ten days or so, I believe our reinforcements will definitely arrive at Ping'an County!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly and said, "Miyano-kun...you are right. As long as Ping'an County can hold on for one more day, our reinforcements will have one more day!"

"Although the Central Army, Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Eighth Route Army are now blocking the reinforcements of our Imperial Army, according to reports from the various reinforcements, these anti-Japanese troops have also suffered heavy casualties, so they won't be able to hold out for long!"

"Time...it's just a matter of time after all!"

Miyano Shun: "General Shinozuka, I think with the 2nd Division here... it won't be a big problem for us to hold out for a few more days."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

Obviously, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano still have great confidence in the Second Division.

After all, the Second Division is indeed an elite combat force and its strength is there.

In the view of Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano, even if the Second Division could not completely wipe out the Independent Battalion, it should not be a problem to defend Ping'an County. What they should do now is to quickly reinforce Ping'an County.

Just as the two of them frowned and looked solemn, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard.

Adjutant Matsushima Mamori is here.

Matsushima Mamori walked quickly to Shinozuka Yoshio and Miyano Shun and said, "Report to the General, an urgent telegram from Ping'an County!"

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Matsushima Masamori and asked, "What did the telegram say? Has Ping'an County been defended?"

Matsushima Mamori: "General, Ping'an County is still in our hands, but..."

Having said this, Matsushima Mamori hesitated to speak.

Looking at Matsushima Mamori's expression and reaction, Shinozuka Yoshio and Miyano Shun suddenly had a bad feeling.

Miyano Shun couldn't wait to speak: "Hurry up and say it... stop wasting time!"

Matsushima Mamori: "Takeshita-kun reported the latest battle situation in Ping'an County in the telegram."

"Last night, the Second Division launched an offensive counterattack against the Independent Battalion's position, trying to retake the position, but after a fierce battle, the Second Division's tanks and armored forces were completely destroyed!"

The Second Division's tank and armored forces have a large number of them, with a total of 35 tanks and armored vehicles.

You have to know that Japan is just an island country with limited conditions and resources, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles it produces is limited.

But the Second Mission alone has 35 tanks and armored vehicles, which is definitely a considerable number.

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed and he said, "I really didn't expect the independent battalion's anti-tank combat capability to be so strong."

Miyano Shun: "Yeah... We suffered this loss when we besieged the Shin-Nakamura base before!"

"If the armored vehicles and tanks of the Second Division are hit, it means that the Second Division has no powerful offensive weapons and can only passively defend!"

"It seems that the situation in Ping'an County is not optimistic!"

Shinozuka Yoshio: "Yes... But with the combat power of the Second Division, if we add the solid fortifications of Ping An County, it will not be a big problem to defend Ping An County."

Matsushima Masamori looked at Shinozuka Yoshio and Miyano Shun, hesitated for a moment, and said: "General, Takeshita-kun also said in the telegram... that at around 4 a.m. this morning, the independent battalion launched an attack on the Second Division!"

"After a fierce battle, all the soldiers of the Second Division, the Imperial Warriors, died for their country."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yoshio Shinozuka and Miyano Shun's faces changed in shock.

This...the Second Division was destroyed?

This is definitely a victory that shocked the whole country of Japan...

Chapter 442: Shocking! A battle with a huge impact, recorded in history! (More updates, please subscribe)

The Second Division was completely wiped out?

This...this result was completely beyond the expectations of Yoshio Shinozuka and Miyano Shun.

I never expected... that the Second Division would be completely wiped out by the Independent Battalion.

The Second Division is an elite Type A Division, and is known as the two strongest divisions of the Japanese Army together with the Sixth Division.

But now they have been completely wiped out by the independent battalion-?
