Let¡¯s talk about the Japanese army.
Since the condition of the former commander Higashikanomiya Nurihiko has not improved, Yoshio Shinozuka has been officially appointed as the commander of the Second Army by the Central China Front Army Headquarters.
At this moment, Shinozuka Yoshio is summoning Ogisu Tatehei and Fujie Keisuke to talk.
"Ogisu-kun, Fujie-kun, I have good news for you." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "The base camp has made a decision to mobilize ten divisions to form the Twelfth Army to reinforce the Wuhan battlefield!"
"Nani, form the twelfth army?!"
"Ten divisions?!"
Hearing this, Ogisu Rihei and Fujie Keisuke were awe-inspiring.
They originally speculated that the base camp might cancel the plan to capture Guangzhou and transfer the 21st Army originally used for the Guangzhou Campaign to the Wuhan battlefield. However, they did not expect that the base camp did not transfer the 21st Army to Wuhan. Prepare to form a new Twelfth Army, and for the newly formed Twelfth Army, ten divisions have been mobilized!
This newly formed Twelfth Army will also become the army with the most divisions under its jurisdiction!
Ogisu Lihe said: "Mr. Shinozuka, didn't the cabinet long ago say that there is no money? Why do you still have so much money to mobilize ten divisions to the Wuhan battlefield?"
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "I don't know the specifics. It is said that Navy funds were misappropriated."
"Sodesnai." Fujie Keisuke nodded happily, "If you ask me, I should have done this a long time ago!"
"I agree with Fujie-kun." Ogisu Tatehei said, "In the past, Japan was an island country, so it was right and reasonable to vigorously develop the navy! But time has changed, and now Japan is a land The country, and it is also a close neighbor of the Soviet Union, a powerful red empire, should change to give priority to the army!"
"Don't talk about that." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and interrupted the two of them, "Decisions at the national policy level are not something that frontline commanders like you and me should have to deal with!"
He paused for a moment and then said: "Let's go back to the battle of Xiaogan!"
"There is nothing to worry about in the Battle of Xiaogan." Ogisu Libing said, "In any case, our Second Army still has more than 90,000 officers and soldiers. Even if half of these 90,000 officers and soldiers are wounded, the remaining officers and soldiers are Exhausted, but this is a defensive operation after all, not an offensive operation!"
"Soga." Fujie Keisuke also said, "Defensive operations are different from offensive operations, and there is no comparison with street fighting! Although our Second Army suffered losses in offensive operations, although in the street fighting in Hankou and Hanyang We have suffered a big loss, but this does not mean that we cannot defeat the Chinese Army in a defensive battle!"
Seeing that Fujie Keisuke and Ogisu Rihei were so supportive, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Because intelligence shows that the commander of the national army in this battle of Jiaogan is Xue Yue, which is not a good thing!
¡°Can a guy who can struggle with Okamura Neji¡¯s Eleventh Army on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi for three months, and finally force Okamura Neji to retreat sadly, be a good person?
If he had a choice, Yoshio Shinozuka really didn¡¯t want to hand over the perimeter defense to these two guys.
But there is no choice, because Yoshio Shinozuka himself has to sit in Xiaogan and personally supervise the construction of fortifications in Xiaogan City. The key to this battle of Xiaogan is not the outer defense, but the inner defense!
Whether the Second Army can hold on until reinforcements arrive depends on the street fighting in the city!
Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka is even more worried if Fujie Keisuke or Ogisu Rihei are in charge of Xiaogan's defense deployment!
"However, when talking to Ogisu Rihei and Fujie Keisuke, you definitely can't say that, but you have to put it another way!"
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka said with a sincere expression: "Ogisu-kun, and Fujie-kun, whether our Second Army can hold on until the reinforcements arrive this time, and whether we can escape the disaster, the key depends on whether you two can As long as you two can hold off the main force of the Chinese army that is swooping in from the north and south for three days, I will be able to build a complete defense in Xiaogan City, and then the next situation will be very simple! "
"Three days?" Ogisu Rihei and Fujie Keisuke looked at each other.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and said, "What, is there any problem?"
Ogisu Rihei and Fujie Keisuke laughed at each other.
After a long while, Ogisu Rihei said: "Shinozuka-kun, your requirements are too low!"
"Yes." Fujie Keisuke agreed, "Don't say three days, even ten days is no problem!"
"Ten days?" Looking at Fujie Keisuke and Ogisu Rihei who were laughing at each other, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but start to doubt his decision to leave the external defense to these two guys. ReallyIs it reliable?
But it seems that there is no other better option. You can¡¯t bypass these two guys and directly hand over the responsibility of external defense to their chief of staff, right?
What¡¯s more, the chiefs of staff of the 13th Division and the 116th Division may not be reliable!
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded heavily to Ogisu Tatehei and Fujie Keisuke and said, "Please!"
When Ogisu Tatehei and Fujie Keisuke saw this, they also stood upright, then nodded heavily: "Hai!"
Then, Ogizhou Ribing and Fujie Keisuke left Xiaogan by car and returned to Minji Town in the southeast of Xiaogan and Xinpu Town in the north respectively!
Minji Town and Xinpu Town are also the two supports for the Japanese army¡¯s peripheral defense line.
According to Yoshio Shinozuka¡¯s estimate, the 15th Division heading south along the Ping-Han Railway can only play a containment role. If we really want to break the siege of Xiaogan, we have to rely on the 12th Army being organized!
As for the Twelfth Army, it would take at least half a month to catch up from the completion of formation, departure, landing at Lianyungang, then westward transport along the Longhai Line, to Zhengzhou and then southward along Pinghan Road. Go to Xiaogan battlefield!
In this half month of perseverance, the most difficult thing is the first seven days! Because as long as they survive seven days, a large number of wounded soldiers injured in the Wuhan Battle will recover and return to the team, and the pressure on defense will be greatly reduced!
During these seven days, the most dangerous time is the first two days!
Because in the first two days, the Second Army had not yet established a firm foothold in Xiaogan and the fortifications had not yet been built. If the national army was allowed to break through to the outside of Xiaogan City or even inside the city at this time, it would be in big trouble!
Therefore, the defense of the six regiments of the 13th Division and the 116th Division on the outside is crucial!
Watching the figures of Ogisu Tatehei and Fujie Keisuke go away, Shinozuka Yoshio still felt uneasy thinking about it, and immediately asked his adjutant to call the Second Army Chief of Staff Machijiri Yuki.
"Machijiri-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka pointed at the map and said, "I will hand over the remaining two infantry regiments of the 13th Division and the 116th Division to you. You can guard Zhuzhan Town east of Xiaogan for me!"
Machijiri Liangji said: "Commander, are you worried that the China Army will make a detour from Zhuzhan Town?"
"This is just a precaution!" Yoshio Shinozuka said solemnly, "If Zhuzhan Town has not been attacked, but Minji Town in the south or Xinpu Town in the north are in danger, we should rush to rescue in time!"
"Hai!" Machijiri Liangji nodded heavily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
