Chapter 433: The Japanese army is gathering supplies, are they going to counterattack?
I don't understand.
Isn't it just about blowing up the Yellow River dam, thereby blocking the transportation line? At that time, the headquarters will have no choice but to terminate the plan of the two armies to reunite in view of the lack of transportation line? Is there any other meaning in this?
"Do you have any other plans?"
"This is a plan within a plan. First, the headquarters will interrupt the plan for the two armies to reunite. Second, if the enemy wants to retaliate, this is also an opportunity to get rid of them. We just need to secretly strengthen the protection of our families, and the enemy will have no way to start. And when they are about to start, we can also get rid of them."
Really? It's not that easy. Why do I feel like this isn't that easy for him?
Okamura Neiji stood up again and thought about the feasibility of this matter.
"General, in fact, if we act now, the other party may not necessarily retaliate against us. In fact, they may even be grateful to us for making such a decision."
Where did this come from?
Okamura Neiji looked at Nanzō Yunko in confusion; "What do you mean?"
Nanzō Yunko came to the map and said, "General, it is autumn now. The Yellow River dam does not have much water storage capacity, and there are many branches upstream that can relieve this force. Therefore, this breach will not have a big impact on the lower reaches of the Yellow River."
Before she came, she had visited these places. If it was a few months ago, during the first Battle of Lanfeng, if you dared to do this, people would probably hunt you down everywhere. It was the rainy season at that time, the river water rose sharply, and the dams were blown up. No one in the lower reaches of the Yellow River would have an easy life.
But it is different now. The weather is clear and cool in autumn, the water level is low, and even some places downstream are dry. At this time, although the dam looks threatening, it can be used by local people soon.
That's why she dared to propose this plan.
This was the only way for her to save her sister. Any other method was inappropriate.
If she wanted Okamura Neiji to change his mind, she had to solve the root cause of the problem for him. If this problem was not solved, he would not help her.
"Mr. Yamada, arrange for someone to check it out immediately. Also, strengthen the transportation of supplies to at least ensure that the frontline combat troops have enough supplies for one month." Okamura Ningji stood up and looked towards Yamadajima; "It seems that we don't have any more choices."
In the medical company of the independent regiment, Fan Xiaoyu blinked and looked at Minamizawa Akiko in front of her. She carefully recorded Minamizawa Akiko's explanation and carefully observed several operations she performed. She saw that she was doing them seriously.
In fact, these days, after finishing her explanation, she walked three blocks back to the regiment headquarters without anyone accompanying her, and was able to come back the next day. She didn't run away.
"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about?" Xu Hu walked in with a bag of snacks. He did not follow the squad this time. The tank company was now under the command of Ichiro Kuroki, and the security work was done by Zhao Shoutian. So he was just the commander of a special forces company and had nothing to do.
With nothing to do, he would naturally come to Fan Xiaoyu to be affectionate.
When Fan Xiaoyu saw that it was Xu Hu, she waved slightly to signal Xu Hu to come over and sit next to her, and then pointed to the operating room; "Isn't this Minamizo Akiko a spy who has not surrendered yet? But why would she help us so much? I watched several operations, and she didn't do anything tricky."
Seeing the snacks in his hand were handed to Fan Xiaoyu, Xu Hu smiled and said, "If she wants to do something naughty, she has to dare to do it."
Fan Xiaoyu rarely went to the regiment headquarters. She was very busy during this period. When the independent regiment was not in battle, the wounded who were not treated in time by other troops or who needed rehabilitation would be sent here. Sometimes, they even had to organize a medical team to go to the front line.
So she didn't know much about what happened during this period.
"Don't dare, why?" Fan Xiaoyu asked Xu Hu beside him.
Xu Hu laughed: "She is so scared of dying that she dares not to die. How can she dare to do anything else?"
"This is something my brother-in-law can do." Fan Xiaoyu had a blind confidence in Zhou Weiguo.
In her heart, as long as her brother-in-law is there, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if the sky falls, her brother-in-law will support her.
"Well, the regiment commander is the most powerful person I have ever met." Xu Hu took a look inside; "You don't have to worry about Minamizo Akiko. The captain said that she will not go anywhere else unless she dies in the independent regiment. By the way, the regiment commander asked me to ask you what the medical company lacks so that he can arrange for Ono to purchase it."
Part of the seized materials were kept for the independent regiment's own use, the rest were sold to friendly troops by Ono, and some were directly dragged to the cities behind to be sold. The materials taken to the cities behind included clothes, command knives, daggers, shells and even rifles.
The independent regiment has made a lot of money and needs supplies.
"Anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the most scarce. Of course, alcohol is also in short supply, but this can be replaced by strong liquor." Fan Xiaoyu felt that Xu Hu might not remember what she said, so she took out a pen, took out the notebook in the medical bag and wrote down what was needed; "Give it to my brother-in-law, he will understand it after reading it."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram sent by Xiao Ya. He read it again and again, but still couldn't figure out what the Japanese army wanted to do this time.
The telegram was sent from the military headquarters in the war zone. The Japanese army was transporting supplies day and night, and all departments were asked to keep a close watch and guard against a counterattack by the Japanese army.
"No, does he still have the ability to counterattack?" Zhou Weiguo came to the map and pointed at the battle map.
After the army occupied Areas 3 and 4, the Japanese troops withdrew. Although there were one or two artillery battles on the front lines of both sides every day, the losses on both sides were not very large.
Everyone was forced to do it, so the trenches they dug were more and more intricate.
In order to prevent themselves from advancing rapidly again, the Japanese army spent a whole night digging a trench 200 meters long and 3 meters wide in front of their positions, which completely blocked the advancement of their tanks and also blocked their attack.
Also, since their defeat, the troops here are insufficient. They are more than enough for defense, but not enough for offense.
"It's indeed wrong." After reading the message, Chao Xiang Xiuling pointed to the map; "The Japanese army's current attack direction is the First Corps in Kaifeng South, not the temporary corps we have formed here. Even if it is to transport supplies, it should be transported there first, but from this message, it seems that they are transporting supplies in an all-round way."
This... there might be a ghost in here.
"They are not really going to counterattack, are they?" Chaoxiang Xiuling swiped around on the map and pointed at the thick line. "But if they really want to attack, why would they need to dig tank trenches in front of them? They will only trap themselves."
Zhou Weiguo folded his arms and looked at the battle map for a long time. He said, "We will deal with it as it comes. Don't worry about it. However, we have to do another thing now."
