Beat the devil with a system

Page 557

The news of the disastrous defeat of the Devil's 18th Wing quickly spread to the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, head of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, heard that the cavalry of the 18th Regiment had been defeated, as if he had been hit in the head, and suddenly became furious in the headquarters.

"Baga, you are useless, the cavalry of the 18th Regiment are simply a bunch of useless!!!"

Kenji Doihara gritted his teeth fiercely, his face was flushed red, the fat on his face was jumping, his fierce appearance was like a mad dog baring its teeth.

"Yamaguchi Kenharu is such a complete idiot, there are more than 1800 imperial cavalry, and there is less than one squadron left, it is really damn!!!"

The headquarters was filled with shouts from Kenji Doihara.

A devil lieutenant general next to him came over and persuaded Kenji Doihara: "Calm down, Mr. Doihara, although the 18th Cavalry Regiment suffered a defeat, but as long as you and I attack Xuzhou together, Xuzhou City will definitely be defeated." All the defenders of China died without a place to die..."

The ghost lieutenant general who spoke was the commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Taro Yoshino.

The 9th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army are both Class A divisions of the Japanese Army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

This old devil, Tu Feiyuan, has always been cunning, calm, and scheming. He was so angry just now because he had never suffered such a big defeat and lost control of his emotions for a while.

Gradually, Dohiyuan regained his composure, but his face was still gloomy and terrifying.

After a while, Tu Feiyuan asked the intelligence officer behind him: "Which army is guarding Xuzhou City, and who is the guard of the Chinese soldiers?"

The devil intelligence officer shook his head and replied: "General, the intelligence department is not yet clear about the situation of the Xuzhou defenders..."

"Ba Ga, you idiot!"

The old devil Tufeiyuan turned around and stared fiercely at the devil's intelligence officer, looking like he wanted to eat people.

"General, I will send scouts to scout immediately!"

"Quickly drop to reconnaissance!"

"Roms!"

The devil intelligence officer focused his mind heavily, and then quickly left the headquarters.

Yoshino Taro, the head of the 9th Division, said: "Mr. Doihara, the Chinese army's weapons and equipment are backward, and most of them are vulnerable. No matter which army the defenders of Xuzhou are, we and our two divisions will jointly attack. Xuzhou is like a bag. This work cannot be taken by other divisions."

Yoshino Taro is a bit arrogant, and he is also a bit greedy for merit. He doesn't take the defenders of Xuzhou City seriously.

"Yoshino-kun, don't rush into battle. The defenders have artillery and aircraft support. We'll wait for the heavy artillery to arrive before we attack."

Tu Feiyuan, an old devil, has always been scheming, and he is very cautious in fighting.

Now, the devil's heavy artillery unit has not yet arrived, so the old devil Dofei Yuan does not recommend launching an attack immediately.

Yoshino Taro thought for a while, and said slowly: "Dohi Madoka, you are right, we should wait for the heavy artillery to arrive..."

The two divisions of the Devils held a military meeting, and the enemy prepared the combat deployment to attack Xuzhou in advance...

The officers and generals of the Devils discussed in the conference room for half an hour. Afterwards, the Artillery and Armored Troops of the Devils joined the leading troops of the Devils outside Xuzhou City.

At this time, a ghost lieutenant hurriedly ran to the conference table to report.

"Report General Doihara, General Yoshino, our artillery units have all arrived outside Xuzhou City and are on standby!"

"well!"

When Taro Yoshino heard the news of the arrival of the shells, he stood up excitedly, then raised his voice and said to all the devil officers and generals: "Everyone, our artillery units and armored units have arrived outside Xuzhou City, we can attack now."

Chapter 5 and Six Devils Attack Xuzhou ([-])

Yoshino Taro glanced at everyone in the conference room, seeking the opinions of other devil officers and generals.

Then, Yoshino Taro didn't wait for others to express his opinion, he asked the old devil Doi Yuan again: "Doi Yuan-kun, what's your opinion?"

The devils are fighting jointly by two divisions. It is useless for Yoshino Taro to propose an attack alone, and the old devils have to express their views.

Dohi Madoka nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, "Yoshino-kun, since our heavy artillery and armored units have arrived, then we can launch an attack next!"

Seeing that the other officers and generals had no objection, Taro Yoshino slammed his fist on the conference table and immediately finalized the deployment to attack Xuzhou.

"Okay, Doihara-kun, since everyone has no objections, then our two divisions can deploy their own combat missions."

Yoshino Taro walked out of the conference table and led the other officers and generals to a sand table simulation map that had just been drawn.

Judging from the terrain structure of the sand table map, this is a scaled-down Xuzhou city, with detailed markings on the east, west, north, south, and north gates around the city wall.

Yoshino Taro picked up the baton, pointed at the Zhengdong Gate of Xuzhou City, and said to Doi Yuan seriously: "Mr. Doihara, my battle plan is to attack on both sides at the same time. My 9th Division will attack the Zhengdong Gate of Xuzhou. The division is in charge of attacking the north gate, what do you want?"

The old devil Doi Yuan looked at the sand table map, observed the terrain of Xuzhou for a while, and then agreed with Yoshino Taro's offensive strategy.

"No problem, Yoshino-kun, you are in charge of the Zhengdong Gate, my 14th Division will attack the North Gate, and we will attack Xuzhou City together!"

The old devils Yoshino and Madoka Doi reached a consensus, and soon, they began to issue instructions to the combat troops below.

Although the little devil is a bit arrogant, the enemy is not stupid. If he has not figured out the deployment and firepower of Xuzhou's defenders, the large army of devils will not attack easily.

After a meeting, the devil commanders of the two divisions decided to send a force to attack Xuzhou first, to test the combat effectiveness and firepower of the Xuzhou city defenders.

In the past, the attack of the devil's elite divisions was all about rushing, aggressively attacking the city, and there was almost no city that could not be taken.

However, after the fiasco at Taierzhuang, the Little Devils learned a heavy lesson.

The enemy has become more cautious in fighting with the national army in the 5th theater, and no longer dares to be greedy for success, and adopts a steady and steady combat strategy.

In addition to being cautious, the little devil's attack was so cautious, mainly because the artillery and armor units had just arrived, and it would be impossible to establish a heavy artillery position for a while.

After about an hour or so, the front-line combat troops of the two divisions of the devils were assembled, and each sent a team of more than 300 people to charge towards Xuzhou City.

Before the Japanese troops started their attack, Taro Yoshino and Madoka Dohi walked to the hills outside the headquarters. The two of them held binoculars and cast their eyes on the outskirts of Xuzhou in the distance.

The devil's frontline commander led the devil's soldiers and quickly approached the forward position outside the city.

"Imperial soldiers, attack forward, duck and chicken give it!!!"

"Imperial soldiers, charge forward, duck and chicken give it!!!"

The little devil soldiers are very strong in execution. Once the commander calls out the order to attack, they will never procrastinate.

More than 600 little devils tentatively attacked from the north gate and the east gate at the same time. The enemy took up weapons and kept the combat formation moving forward under the cover of the surrounding bunkers.

The first battalion and the second battalion guarded the outskirts of Zhengdongmen City. The defense line of these two battalions was two to three kilometers long, which could completely prevent the frontal forces of the Japanese army from attacking Xuzhou City.

Hu Tudan, the commander of the first battalion, and Wang Desheng, the commander of the second battalion, saw the little devils attacking, and they immediately made a phone call.

Wang Desheng was originally the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion. Wang Desheng and Hu Tudan had a tacit understanding on the battlefield, so Li Hongcai asked them to guard the defense line outside the east city together.
