In this way, it is also equivalent to buying a little time for Taiyuan

……

Xinkou.

The headquarters of the Japanese Army's Shanxi Expeditionary Army.

Commander of the Second Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Nishio Hisao was appointed by Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front Army, as the commander of the temporary dispatch army in Shanxi. He led the 4th Division, 20th Division, and 108th Division to Shanxi to cooperate with the 5th Division and Together with the 11th Brigade stationed in the village, they captured Shanxi as soon as possible, and then moved eastward and southward to completely occupy the entire North China region.

At this time, the 5th Division, the 20th Division, and the 11th Brigade stationed in the village had been disabled, and there was no organizational system, but the actual combat effectiveness was not as good as one-fifth of the full staff.

Among them, Fumizaburo Kawagishi's 20th Division was the most miserable. As soon as the two infantry brigades under his command arrived in Shanxi, the entire army was almost wiped out, and they were all committed by one person.

During this period of time, Wensaburo Kawagishi had no taste in food, bad sleep, and gnashed his teeth in his dreams, wanting to eat Yang Chen and Huben Tuan alive.

Fortunately, there are precedents of the First Army and the 14th Division, so that his 20th Division is not the first shameful army.

At this time, the entire headquarters of the dispatched army was full of seats, all of them were officers above the rank of major general.

The only officers at the senior rank are the chiefs of staff of the divisions.

Among them, Matsui Ming, the head of the 4th Division, Seishiro Itagaki, the head of the 5th Division, Wensaburo Kawagishi, the head of the 20th Division, and Matsujiro Kanbara, the head of the 108th Division, and Hisao Nishio. He belongs to the Japanese army lieutenant general, but as the commander of the temporary dispatched army, Hisao Nishio has undoubtedly the highest status.

Chapter 463 The Japanese Army's Massacre Plan

The Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army.

Commander Hisao Nishio looked around and said, "Our front army has wasted enough time in Shanxi, and the troops it invested far exceeded expectations.

On the part of the dispatched troops from Shanghai, they have captured a large area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and they will soon approach the capital of China, the city of Nanjing.

However, our department has never made an inch of merit, not to mention the loss of troops, and it has not even won a small Shanxi!

I have to say that this is a great shame for our army! "

"Your Excellency, Commander, if it weren't for the ineffectiveness of the First Army, which cut off the defense line of my 5th Division and became a lone army, and it was too late to get backup and replenishment, my 5th Division would have captured the entire Shanxi is here!"

Itagaki Seishiro said with a gloomy face, full of unwillingness.

"Mr. Banyuan, please pay attention to your words. Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. What we need to discuss now is how to quickly capture Taiyuan City!"

"Haye!"

Itagaki Seishiro nodded unwillingly.

Receiving Commander Hisao Nishio's gaze, Chief of Staff Suzuki who was sitting at the side nodded his head and slowly spread out a folder on the desktop in front of him.

"According to the latest information from the Special High School, Yan Baichuan, the highest military officer in China's Shanxi theater, had abandoned the city ahead of time on the eve of the fall of Xinkou, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Among them, Wei Junru, who was defeated from Xinkou, had also led his central army to escape from Taiyuan and went straight to Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi.

As for those dirt roads, their equipment is poor and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, so they are not worth considering.

Currently guarding Taiyuan, only Fu Yisheng's 7th Army has about 8 troops.

This Fu Yisheng tried in vain to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Taiyuan surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, north and west, and defend it according to the danger.

At the same time, this is also the battle plan of the Chinese army. "

"Since this is the case, we only need to attack from the south to avoid the dangerous terrain in Taiyuan."

Hearing this, Matsujiro Sekihara, head of the 108th Division, suddenly interjected.

"No! We cannot attack from the south."

Hisao Nishio spoke, dispelling Matsujiro Sekihara's idea of ​​attacking from the south.

"why?"

Everyone is puzzled.

"There is a saying in the Chinese Art of War: surrounded by three towers and one, there is no natural moat in the south of Taiyuan, and it is also the most suitable for evacuation.

If our army cuts off the rear of the Taiyuan defenders in the south of Taiyuan, the Taiyuan defenders will have no hope of retreating, and they will definitely fight to the end.

At that time, it will take time and effort for our army to capture Taiyuan City!

Our front army has wasted enough time and invested enough troops in Shanxi.

Now there is not so much time to waste, therefore, we must capture Taiyuan with the fastest speed and the lowest casualties!

And if we leave the south side of Taiyuan empty, given the vulnerable nature of the Chinese defenders, as long as they are slightly hit, they will flee in a hurry.

The south of Taiyuan City is undoubtedly the best choice for them to retreat.

At that time, my large number of tanks, motorized troops, and cavalry troops will be able to give full play to their mobility and wantonly cover up and kill the enemy's defeated army. Even if they cannot wipe out all of them, they will certainly be able to kill most of them! "

After saying this, Nishio Shouzo looked at the crowd indifferently with murderous eyes and continued: "When Taiyuan City fell, the city was massacred for three days! There will be no soldiers or civilians, men, women, children, women or children in the city. Use their blood to wash away the great shame of our front army!

And use this to warn these humble Chinese people, trying to resist the miserable end of our Great Japanese Imperial Army! "

"Yoxi! Your Excellency Commander is wise!"

After hearing this, all the devil officers couldn't help nodding their heads in praise, admiring Nishio Hisao's superb strategy and iron-blooded means!

"The only thing I am worried about now is the Huben regiment defending the city with the 7th Army.

According to the information of the special high class, the Huben regiment has received a large number of replacements in Taiyuan City, and its strength has exceeded 6000, which is stronger than ever. "

Speaking of this, Hisao Nishio could not help frowning the brows that had just been raised.

Itagaki Seishiro, Kawagishi Fumisaburo and Suzuki Shigeyasu's expressions also darkened.

"The only good thing is that the people who join the Huben regiment are young students or farmers; these recruits have not received systematic military training before joining the army, and they have never even touched a gun.

However, you should all be aware of Yang Chen's ability to lead troops. He can turn some remnants into a steel army in a short period of time, but he may not be able to turn a group of recruits into an iron-blooded army.

Therefore, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to our army.

Its Huben group has become a confidant of our Great Japanese Empire, and it must be removed as soon as possible!Especially Yang Chen, he must be killed this time!To avoid future troubles!

Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for our army! "

After a pause, Hisao Nishio looked around and continued, "Now, let me deploy the combat policy and attack plan for this battle!
