Chapter 392 The Japanese Army's New Headquarters(1/2)
In order to restore the situation, Okamura Yasuji was urgently appointed as the commander of the 15th Army, responsible for commanding the 15th Army.
No matter what, the situation of defeat on the battlefield must be restored.
Moreover, we must find a way to rescue the 55th and 56th Divisions.
These are the forces of the two divisions. If they are gone, the losses will be huge.
Some time ago, due to Anan Weiji's incompetence, their 11th Army lost three divisions.
This time, the 15th Army lost another division in just a few days.
If the 55th and 56th Divisions are gone, the strength of their 15th Army will form a huge vacuum in a short period of time.
This is very dangerous.
Now Yamashita Bongmoto is leading his troops to advance quickly to the entire Southeast Asia. The war is very smooth. If there is a problem with the 15th Army here, then the entire southward plan will require major adjustments.
This obviously doesn't work.
Now, only Okamura Yasuji can save the entire situation.
Okamura Yasuji, who received the order, was also very troubled.
At this time, letting him go to the 15th Army was like throwing him into the fire pit.
What a mess!
But it would be impossible for Okamura Yasuji to accept it. There was no way, so he could only bite the bullet and prepare to go to the 15th Army.
Now that the 15th Army Command is over, he must immediately form a new command.
Okamura Yasuji drafted a list, which was quickly approved.
Among them, the position of the Japanese Chief of Staff is still his old partner, Aoki.
In the 11th Army, the cooperation between the two of them was very pleasant, except for no victory.
Soon, Okamura Nishi took his command staff to the Manshui River.
Learning from the lessons from last time, Okamura Yasuji released two forces from the troops around the 15th Army Command.
These troops were all urgently drawn from the 25th Army of Fengwen at the foot of the mountain.
When he arrived at Manshui River, Okamura Yasui immediately issued an order to the 18th Division, ordering Tanaka Shinichi's 18th Division to immediately reinforce the 55th Division.
No mistakes are allowed.
When he saw that the order was issued, it was Okamura Yasuji, and Tanaka Shinichi was in tears.
His troops have retreated to Tonggu. Now if they turn back and arrive in Ren'anqiang, it will take several more days.
Isn't this a tossing person?
Tanaka Shinichi's heart was rejected.
But the new commander has arrived. If he does not execute the order, he will be shot.
There was no way, Tanaka Shinichi had to lead his 18th Division to Ren'anqiang again.
Li Lei felt very surprised by the repeated use of troops in just half a day.
The 18th Division of the Japanese army had retreated, so why did it suddenly return?
Li Lei didn't quite understand for a moment.
But now he has no time to think about it. His temporary regiment is now in fierce exchange of fire with the 56th Division of the Japanese army.
The attack of the fifth armored battalion was very smooth, and their tanks advanced very quickly. The Japanese defensive positions had been washed away by them.
The Sixth Battalion, which followed the Fifth Battalion, was quickly clearing the Japanese positions.
Because he hadn't led troops to fight for a long time, Yang Liqing was very excited this time.
He was not in the command position at all, but jumped onto a tank, operated the heavy machine gun on the tank and fired at the Japanese.
The Japanese army's resistance was very fierce.
Under the command of the division commander Muifu Watanabe, the Japanese army turned their few trucks into big bombs.
In front of the front of the car, an oil barrel was tied.
Then he drove directly and rushed towards the tanks of the Fifth Battalion.
If it is hit, the tank will be scrapped.
Replace your broken truck with my tank?
Beautiful to you!
Li Lei immediately ordered the Fifth Battalion to disperse the tanks and then blow off the Japanese trucks first.
There were about 30 Japanese trucks, and they were quickly approaching the tanks of the Fifth Battalion.
The tanks of the Fifth Battalion have pointed their muzzles at these trucks.
One hundred tanks compete against thirty trucks, and three tanks hit one truck on average, with an extremely high hit rate.
With just one round of shooting, thirty Japanese trucks were bombed into the sky.
It turned into a ball of fire and flew high, and then it hit it with a clang. The Japanese who had no time to hide were directly smashed into meat.
Many Japanese were covered in fire and roared in pain.
If you aim your infantry at the armored troops, you have no chance of winning at all.
Yang Liqing ordered the Sixth Battalion to quickly eliminate the Japanese and not to get too entangled.
Just rush.
He operated the machine gun and fired it strafically.
The Japanese fell down and couldn't get close to him at all.
Wang Han's aircraft bombing target has been adjusted.
The Japanese army's frontier positions had almost been broken through, so Li Lei ordered Wang Han to bomb the troops behind the Japanese army.
We must not let the Japanese relax a little.
Hundreds of combat power and twenty bombers flew over.
Covering the sky and the sun.
Watanabe Mifu was frightened when he saw it.
Now he suddenly understood why such a powerful army as the 11th Division was destroyed by the other party within one day.
There is no way to fight this battle!
The opponent's plane, tank, and heavy artillery have everything.
Let’s look at my 55th Division and three infantry regiments came.
My dozen or so cannons are still behind.
If this continues, my division will be ruined.
Wang Han looked at the Japanese troops below from the plane, and they seemed to be retreating.
The regiment commander said that in military tactics, the three sieges are under one siege, which can make the enemy busy escaping and unwilling to fight.
If surrounded by all sides, the enemy's combat effectiveness will increase significantly.
Now it seems that it is true.
But it's too late for the Japanese army to retreat now.
The bomb was thrown from the plane, just like rain, and countless black dots kept falling, forming a bomb screen.
Watanabe's heart was shocked.
There are too many bombs!
The sharp sounds caused by the friction between the bomb and the air made Watanabe's scalp numb.
Meat!!!
Meat!!!!!
Boom boom boom boom!!!
Bombs do not fall down one by one, but fall down in pieces.
There is no place to hide.
The place where the bomb falls is relatively concentrated, so it has a very lethality.
When each bomb fell, there were no living creatures around it more than twenty meters away.
The violent explosion caused high gray smoke, which was dozens of meters high.
The Japanese had no place to hide in the places where they were bombed and had no time to run away.
The Japanese who were bombed, burned, and shocked were one after another.
