Chapter 342: It's a waste not to eat the fat meat that's delivered to your door
Terauchi Juichi raised his lips slightly and snorted, "I am going to be the scapegoat for this deployment error. Don't you understand? That villain, Okamura Neiji, dug a pit for me and waited for me there. I am stupid."
"This hole is a bit too big." Asaka Hidei waited for the new round of Japanese troop deployment maps to be placed on the table. She glanced at it and clicked her tongue with her finger. "If you say that Okamura Neiji has no complaints, I don't believe it."
Shen Xin took a look at the location Chao Xiang Xiuling pointed to. This place was Fangjiashan.
After the destruction of the Hata Detachment, the Japanese army retreated for a distance, but because Fangjiashan was an important stronghold, they penetrated nearly ten kilometers into the rear.
This town has two intersecting roads coming from Anqing.
The 6th Regiment of the 36th Brigade of the 45th Division of the Japanese Army.
This regiment, no, this brigade had been fought by the independent regiment. During the Battle of Nanjing, it rested in the rear for a while, and then entered Nanjing and joined the Nanjing Massacre. This is one of the reasons why Zhou Weiguo held on to Tani Hisao. Later, this force, led by the later division commander Inaba Shiro, went north to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, but they fought on the southern front, while the 74th Army fought several battles with the Japanese army on the Fujin County battlefield.
During the Battle of Lanfeng, the 6th Division moved south and later joined the 11th Army under the Central China Expeditionary Army, serving as the main division.
"What's the catch here?" Shen Xin didn't understand.
After circling the 45th Regiment with a pencil, Chaoxiang Xiuling said, "Knowing that we are mortal enemies with the 6th Division, Gangcun Ningcai still allowed this force to enter Fangjiashan Town. It is obvious that he wants to set a trap for Terauchi Hisaichi."
The news sent by the intelligence department was that the headquarters asked Terauchi Hisaichi to immediately rush to the 11th Army to take over, and then cooperate with the Jiangbei Corps to launch an attack on Wuhan.
Originally, the headquarters focused on the Yangtze River as the main attack direction, after all, there was the cooperation of the Japanese army, but in the battle of the river defense fort, the Third Fleet suffered too much loss, and they fell out with each other. The navy and the army fought each other, so the advantage of the Yangtze River was gone, and the main force could only be placed in the north of the Yangtze River, where the terrain was relatively convenient for the empire to move. The south of the Yangtze River was to contain the Xue Laohu First Corps, which was reorganized from the former Henan East Corps and commanded by Chief Bai, and the two groups of the Gui Army. This is nearly 200,000 troops, and they are the elite troops from Wuhan.
All those who can fight and resist are here, and the Fifth Army has also joined in this direction. The Japanese army is under great pressure.
Okamura Neiji offended the navy so badly that he was transferred to Henan, so it was natural for him to take over.
Originally, the 6th Division was not in Anqing, but now it has been transferred to Anqing and is still behind the Independent Regiment. You dare to say that Okamura Yasuji did not set a trap for Terauchi Hisaichi who was about to take office.
Also, the troops on his left and right are not from the 6th Division.
Ono's eyes sparkled. "So, in order to deceive Terauchi Juichi, Okamura Neiji really tried his best to send a regiment to our front. He is preparing to give us a feast."
Sano Tadayoshi clicked his tongue; "What a ruthless man. He is capable of using an entire regiment to cause trouble for Terauchi Juichi."
Asaka Hidei snorted, "Don't think Terauchi Juichi is so good. I heard that someone in Tokyo leaked the news about the Hata detachment. Maybe he was the one who did it. Shit has been thrown in Gangcun's face. What's wrong with him fighting back?"
Zhou Weiguo, who was eating, raised his hand and patted her on the head; "Eat."
"When can we not eat, Lao Zhou? This is a regiment. It seems that the other party has no intention of rescuing us. Let's..." What's wrong with talking about things while eating? If he could eat up this regiment, he would be happy even if he had to eat while looking at a cesspool.
Zhou Weiguo put his bowl on the table. Today he went to the river defense artillery and watched the shipwreck operation. More than a dozen merchant ships that were urgently requisitioned blocked the Madang River again, and the four cruisers, under the cover of the air force, quickly set sail for Wuhan.
According to what the navy said, they only had this little wealth and couldn't afford any more trouble, so they stayed in Wuhan for a while and went straight to the mountain city to find a place to stay and keep up appearances.
The Navy was also very considerate. They knew very well that if it were not for the Army's 74th Army, the Navy would be in name only. Therefore, they issued a huge sum of money. Yu Huohuo was not greedy for credit and allocated the money to the Independent Regiment.
Now everyone in the independent group is happy and has gained something.
"Fuck him." Zhou Weiguo pounded the map: "You don't even want to eat the fat meat that's delivered to your door. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Silly." Takeshita Shun shook his head slightly and looked at Miyamoto Shigeru beside him; "I really don't know, are they stupid or are they very smart."
The 45th Regiment entered Fangjiashan Town. In front of him was the 74th Army. Others could not see anything about this deployment, but Takeshita Shun saw at a glance that this deployment was actually a trap.
"Captain, is there any problem here?" Shigeru Miyamoto didn't understand why the captain called the other party a fool, and he was talking about him, Neiji Okamura.
This is a bit of treason. Ah, I heard that the 13th Division will be incorporated into the 11th Army. Ah, this...
"This is a big problem." Takeshita Shun pointed to the position of the 45th Regiment, and then pointed to the left and right sides; "The 36th Brigade is empty, so why not let them guard on the left and right, but transfer other troops to guard on the left and right sides, and the distance is obviously ten kilometers, why not let the troops on the left and right sides catch up and form left and right defense reinforcements?"
Shigeru Miyamoto is not a fool. Even if he was a fool in the past, he has become smarter after following Takeshita Shun for such a long time.
His originally normal eyes could not bear it anymore when he saw the situation sketched out by Takeshita Shun on paper with a pen. Then Takeshita Shun wrote "Independent Regiment" opposite to the 45th Regiment.
With his pupils widened, he stammered for a long time, "This... This is... going to kill the 45th Regiment."
The 6th Division had a grudge against the Independent Regiment. No, all Japanese military units had a grudge against the Independent Regiment. But if we really want to find a deep hatred, it is the Independent Regiment.
For the 6th Division, the Independent Regiment was their enemy. They had fought against both brigades and destroyed the brigade headquarters twice in less than a month. For the Independent Regiment or for Zhou Jun, what the 6th Division did in Nanjing was their number one target.
Both sides are enemies. But if we really talk about viciousness, the 45th Regiment is no match for the Independent Regiment, not to mention the deployment of the 11th Army Headquarters. It is obvious that they are deliberately sending the 45th Regiment to the front.
"Why?" Miyamoto Shigeru asked tentatively, not understanding why; "Could it be... Could it be that General Okamura doesn't know about the grudge between them and the Independent Regiment?" This shouldn't be the case.
