1114 Completion of the battle plan)
Okamura Yasuji said: "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs' information is correct, Zhong Yi really bought the full set of equipment from four American equipment divisions, then the threat level of the Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps and Yinjiang Industrial Zone will indeed be higher than that of Changsha. It is completely understandable that the base camp will temporarily suspend the battle in Changsha."
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has no doubt about the information," said Miro Usa. "In fact, the complete set of equipment of two American equipment masters had arrived in Yinjiang more than two months ago. The remaining two American equipment masters' equipment has also been shipped from Los Angeles, the United States, and can be transported to Yinjiang by the latest by the end of June."
"So." Nishio Shouzaki said sternly, "There is not much time left for the Imperial Army."
"Hayi, I understand." Okamura Yasuji paused, "Since that's the case, I will no longer make suggestions to the base camp."
After saying that, Okamura Yasuji stood up and wanted to leave. This time he came to Shanghai, which was originally created to lobby Nishiosu, but was convinced by the other party, so there was no need to stay in Shanghai.
It’s better to return to Wuhan as soon as possible, after all, the current situation in Wuhan is not very good.
"Okamura-kun, wait." Nishio Suzuo waved and said, "Don't rush to leave first."
Okamura Yasuji turned around and asked in confusion: "What else do you have to do with him, Commander?"
Nishio Shouzuo stood up and said, "The victory or defeat of the Yinjiang Battle is of great importance. Although Usa Mikun has formulated a complete combat plan, I still feel unsure. After all, this is the first time I have fought with Zhong Yi, the opponent, and Okamura, you have fought with him once in the Wuhan Battle, so I really want to hear your opinions."
Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "Commander, Huize has never fought with Zhong Yi directly in the Battle of Wuhan, but he still has some experience in how to fight the Chinese army. If possible, I will make suggestions!"
"Yo Xi." Nishio Suzuo nodded happily and said sutra again, "Okamoto, please follow me."
At that moment, Nishio Suzuo and Usa Mitsuki took Okamura Nishiji to the combat hall of the headquarters.
But I saw that huge sand tables had been set up in the spacious combat hall, and maps were also posted on the walls. Whether it was the sand tables in the hall or the maps on the walls, the demonstration was Yinjiang.
Nishio Suzuo nodded to Usa Mitsuto and said, "Mikun Usa, you say."
"Hayi!" Usa Mirō suddenly paused, then picked up the command rod and pointed at the sand table and said to Okamura Yanji, "Please look at the general. This is Zhaobaoshan, this is Jinjishan. Zhong Yi has built fortresses on Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan respectively. The fortress is of extremely high specifications. According to the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the specifications are comparable to the Hewu Fortress!"
"Nani?" Okamura Niji said sternly, "It's comparable to the Tsurumi Fortress? Is this possible?"
The Hewu Fortress is one of the two major military fortresses guarding Tokyo Bay. It has extremely high specifications and can easily withstand the attacks of thousands of tons of aviation bombs and naval guns below 500mm caliber.
"Hai." Usa Mirone said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs' intelligence should not be wrong!"
"Baga!" Okamura's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he said angrily, "Are those bastards in the Navy dead? Why didn't the Chinese stop the fortresses in Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan? From the map, the navy's light escort fleet can go up the Yin River and reach directly to Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan. With the damage from the navy, how could the Chinese build such two extremely high-standard fortresses?"
Usa Mitsunobu said: "As far as I know, the Navy has actually tried its best."
"The Navy has tried its best?" Okamura Yasuji said, "What's going on?"
Usa Mirō said: "Because the Chinese had set up a mine formation at the Yinjiangkou in advance, the light escort fleet of the Navy's Third Fleet could not go up the river, and the harassment of the air force was greatly restricted by the weather and fuel, so it was impossible to stop the construction of the Chinese fortress."
"It's all excuses." Okamura Yasuji said, "This is just their excuse!"
"There is a boat, so I won't talk about these." Nishio Suzukuo said, "Usa Mikun, let's talk about the key points."
"Hai." Usa Mirō paused again and said, "In short, the Chinese have built a coastal fortification chain with Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan as the core, supported by more than 300 Yonggu bunkers, and three front and back defense lines as support."
"Faced with such a strong line of defense, if you attack strongly, the Imperial Army will pay a heavy price."
"So, are you going to detour from the flank?" Okamura Yasuji said, "From the Hangzhou Bay to the north, or from the Xiangshan area to the south?"
Usa Mitsuru replied: "We decided to divide the troops into two groups and launch an attack from both north and south at the same time!"
"Nani? The troops are divided into two groups?" Okamura Nishi frowned, "How many troops are the 13th Army preparing to invest?"
"Two divisions, plus one independent mixed brigade." Usa Mitsuro said, "The 17th Division and the independent mixed 11th Brigade are the main attackers. They will land from the beach near the Sanbei North, and then attack and advance towards Yinjiang after landing. However, before the North Line Cluster launches an attack, the 15th Division on the South Line will start the attack first to attract the attention of the defenders."
Speaking of this, Usa Mitsuki looked at Okamura Natsuji with confidence. He believed that this plan would definitely be recognized by Okamura Natsuji.
However, Okamura Yasuji did not make any noise for a long time.
After waiting for half a minute, Usa Mirō finally couldn't help it and asked: "Do you think this combat plan is feasible? Please be sure to correct it."
Okamura Yasuji turned his head and looked at Nishio Suzusaki, and found that Nishio Suzusaki's eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing this, Okamura Yanji knew it. Obviously, Suzusa Nishio admired this top student who returned from the Berlin Military Academy in Germany. This means that if he spoke his thoughts frankly, it would be difficult to get the other party's recognition, and would instead break the relationship between the two parties.
At this moment, Okamura Yasuji said very tactfully: "Plan is a good plan, but I always feel that the strength seems to be a little weak. If possible, it is better to strengthen the feint attack troops on the southern line. After all, the division commanders of the Imperial Army and the corps captain have what kind of virtues are? Commander knows. Usa Mikun, you should also be very clear. It is a feint to restrain it, but once you get ashore, it will be a different situation immediately."
Nishio Suzusaki's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and Usa Mitaka was also thinking.
