Itagaki Seishiro, head of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, was terrified when he learned that the 9th Brigade was in a tight siege.
At this moment, Itagaki Seishiro was very annoyed. He should really listen to the words of Matsui Yusaburo, the commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, and beware of the encirclement of the national army.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The 33rd Brigade was wiped out before it lasted until dawn. In the end, it also caused the 9th Brigade to fall into a tight siege.
Chapter 483 Surrounding and annihilating the enemy ([-])
, the fastest update to the latest chapter with a system to fight devils!
Itagaki Seishiro didn't want to see the 9th Brigade become the next 33rd Brigade. He hurriedly mobilized reinforcements to rescue the 9th Brigade.
In order to rescue the elite 9th Brigade, the 10th Division also sent a wing for reinforcements.
The devil's reinforcements were divided into two groups, marching north and south side by side, heading towards the Taierzhuang area and killing them aggressively.
The little devil wanted to rescue him, so the national army in the 5th theater would naturally not let the little devil succeed.
The Taierzhuang counterattack is very important. Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater, is determined to fight this battle well. He has already gone from Xuzhou to the front line of Taierzhuang to supervise the battle overnight...
20 kilometers south of Taierzhuang, the frontline temporary headquarters of the 5th theater.
Not long after the battle of the security regiment ended, Li Zongyao invited Li Hong to the headquarters for a meeting at dawn.
Li Hong's current status is a tactical consultant. As long as Li Hong is free, he has to attend the large-scale military meetings in the theater.
The gunpowder smoke on Li Hong's body hadn't dissipated yet, he just changed his clothes and hurried to the frontline headquarters.
As soon as he arrived at the headquarters, Li Zongyao's adjutant led Li Hong into the headquarters.
"Consultant Li, come in quickly, Commander Li and the others are waiting for you."
Li Hong nodded, strode into the headquarters, and walked towards Li Zongyao.
Dozens of officers and generals of the national army gathered in the headquarters. Li Zongyao and several generals were surrounded by the sand table, and they were talking to each other in low voices.
"Hello, Commander Li, and hello, officers!"
Li Hong strode over and saluted Li Zongyao and several other generals.
"Hello, Consultant Li, hello, Consultant Li!!!"
The officers and generals next to him saluted very respectfully.
Not long ago, Li Zongyao learned that the security regiment had wiped out the 33rd Brigade. He was very excited when he heard the news.
Of course, he didn't invite Li Hong to the headquarters to praise Li Hong's military exploits, but to discuss important matters.
Now is not the time for commendation, the top priority is to encircle and wipe out the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army and block the other two reinforcements from the Japanese Army.
"Li Hong, come here, let's study how to encircle and stop the enemy..."
Li Zongyao didn't say much, and directly invited Li Hong to the side of the sand table map.
All the officers and generals of the command headquarters gathered around the sand table. Regarding the current Taierzhuang counterattack, everyone held their own opinions and expressed different suggestions and opinions.
Li Hongcai came from the battlefield. He was not very clear about the current situation of the national army's encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese 9th Brigade. He stood silently by the side, listening to the speeches of others.
After listening carefully for a while, Li Hong finally understood the current battle.
Tens of thousands of troops of the National Army have surrounded the Japanese 9th Brigade, but reinforcements from the Itagaki and Isoya Divisions of the Japanese Army are also on their way.
Judging from the current battle situation, as long as the enemy's two reinforcements can be blocked, the ultimate fate of the Japanese 9th Brigade will become the next 33rd Brigade to be wiped out.
In terms of the overall number of troops on both sides, the national army is several times larger than the Japanese army, and it will not be too difficult to stop the Japanese reinforcements.
However, it is already dawn now, and the Japanese army can send out a large number of bombers to support it. No matter how many troops the national army's blocking troops have, there is not much advantage.
The Japanese army has powerful artillery, armored troops, and aerial firepower. It may not be so easy for the national army to block the reinforcements of the devil's two armies.
The most worrying thing is that the army of the 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army seems to be showing signs of overwhelming the whole army, which makes everyone in the headquarters very worried.
All the officers discussed for a while, and others proposed many kinds of combat plans and plans, but Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater, seemed not too satisfied.
Seeing what Li Hong was thinking about, Li Zongyao asked softly, "Li Hong, you are an advisor in the theater. Do you have any suggestions or strategies that you can share."
Immediately, the officers and generals of the headquarters all looked towards Li Hong.
The ability of Li Hong, a consultant in the war zone, is not just on paper. His military talent and the combat effectiveness of the security team are obvious to all. The officers are eager to hear the opinions of Li Hong, a rising star.
Li Hong didn't shirk anything, he took a few steps closer, quickly glanced at the sand table map in front of him, and continued to analyze the current battle situation.
"Sirs, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army is currently under siege by our army. It can be said that the 9th Brigade is doomed to escape. However, the reinforcements of the Japanese army from the north and the south are bound to pose a threat to our besieging troops. The worst result of the battle is that the reinforcements of the Japanese army break through the line of defense of the blocking forces and smash our army's plan of encirclement and annihilation."
"Although the Japanese army has a large number of bomber support and more artillery fire than ours, it is not impossible to stop the Japanese reinforcements..."
Next, Li Hong explained his combat deployment one by one, and all the officers and generals listened carefully.
Li Hong suggested using two divisions of the Central Army to block reinforcements from the 5th Division of the Japanese Army on the North Road, a division of the Northwest Army and a brigade of the Northeast Army to block the devils from the 10th Division of the Japanese Army on the South Road.
In addition, Li Hong also suggested that the theater send all bombers to support the battlefield and inflict air strikes on the Japanese army.
Li Zongyao nodded after listening, and accepted Li Hong's suggestions one by one.
After Li Hong finished his battle plan, he soon realized that the deployment was not perfect, and he seemed to have forgotten another Japanese army.
Just when the war zone chiefs were about to adopt Li Hong's battle plan, Li Hong took the initiative to stand up and overturn the deployment of his troops just now.
"I'm really sorry, sirs. There are still some omissions and inadequacies in the battle plan I just proposed."
The officers and generals of the headquarters looked at Li Hong suspiciously. In their opinion, Li Hong's deployment of the battle plan just now was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.
Li Hong thought carefully for a few minutes, and said cautiously: "Sirs, we all overlooked one thing. In addition to the 5th Division and the 10th Division, I'm sure the Japanese 4th Division will definitely provide reinforcements. 9th Brigade."
"As we all know, the 9th Brigade of the Itagaki Division is also the elite of the elite, and it is a benchmark in the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese North China Command will definitely put pressure on the 4th Division and do everything possible to rescue the 9th Brigade. Brigade, keep the number of this unit."
After hearing this, the officers of the headquarters were suddenly amazed.
"Consultant Li is really thoughtful, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army really has to guard against..."
If it hadn't been for Li Hong to bring it up, the generals would have really ignored the crucial issue of the possibility of reinforcements from the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.
If the combat deployment is carried out according to the combat plan just now, if the shit stick of the 4th Division is allowed to stir up the battle, the national army may lose everything.
Chapter 484 Encircling and Annihilating the Enemy ([-])
The 4th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the most inexistent units in the Japanese army. It is indeed easy for people to ignore the combat effectiveness and role of this unit.
The enemy that is often ignored is the deadliest enemy.
