Chapter 455: Attacking Shuozhou Shanyin
After drinking another glass of strong liquor, Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly remembered Nishiyama Uesuke. It took him such a long time to acknowledge him as a fellow countryman. It seemed that he was ashamed of his identity as an Osaka native.
"Don't worry about it. The bad reputation of the Osaka Division needs us, the new generation of soldiers, to change it! You are doing very well now. At such a young age, you have become the most outstanding combat staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters!"
Having said this, Guan Gu Shenqi stopped and looked at Xishan's wife who was a little drunk.
"Senior, we spent a month to come up with a perfect plan, but Commander Gangcun actually rejected it and said that this plan was a pile of garbage! The reason is that the plan is too precise. They can't follow the plan and deploy the troops to the battlefield on time! Shouldn't this be their troops' problem?"
Nishiyama's wife became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She even stood up and paced back and forth in the room, roaring mindlessly!
"Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops, six hundred of the latest German tanks, three hundred and sixty aircraft, going straight from Datong to Taiyuan, what a perfect plan! If it can be realized, it will be the glory of my life!"
Every word from Nishiyama Uchisuke was like a bombshell exploding in his heart. Although he had learned this information through the Kwantung Army before, it was still particularly shocking when it was actually put on paper, forcing him to accept this reality!
The last sentence is especially crucial. Their attack direction is indeed Taiyuan!
Guan Gu magically stood up and slapped Xishan's wife in the face.
"Baga! How can you talk about such important information in this situation? Shut up!"
This slap made Xishan's wife calm down. He stayed there as if he had lost his soul, and then sat in the chair in a daze.
According to military law, he revealed the empire's top secrets in public, and it would not be excessive even if he was shot ten times.
"Senior, I..."
Xishan's wife looked at Guan Gu Shenqi pitifully, begging him not to report it.
"Alas, you and I are both soldiers of the Empire, both frustrated people. This matter ends with me, and you must never mention it to anyone else!"
Nishiyama's wife bowed to him gratefully.
"Thank you, senior!"
The two drank two more cups, then said goodbye at the door of Zui Xiang Lou and left.
On his way back, Guan Gu Shenqi went to the rice shop again and bought five kilograms of rice.
"Old Liu, where's Tang Youyou?"
"She has other tasks. Do you have something to talk to her about?"
"No, I wanted to tell her the latest intelligence. According to Operation No. 1, their attack direction is Datong!"
"This information is very important. I will report it to my superiors immediately. You have access to such important information, so you must pay attention to your own safety! Your superiors have instructed that you can evacuate at the critical moment!"
Guan Gu Shenqi picked up the bag of rice, shook his head, and then forced a smile.
"If it's so easy for me to evacuate, all my previous efforts would be in vain! Let's go, Lao Liu!"
The information was quickly transmitted back to the independent column military fortress.
In the middle of the night, Wang Meng and Li Yunlong were still busy in the command center. At this time, Zhang Dabiao's Second Armored Division had launched an attack on Shuozhou and Shanyin, and the progress was very smooth.
"The Japanese probably didn't expect us to launch an attack. This caught them off guard!"
"Well, those damned Japanese thought we were lambs to be slaughtered, and they were sharpening their knives to bleed us. Now they must be scared!"
As expected, when Okamura Neiji received the news that Sakushu and Sanin were attacked, he was also dumbfounded.
He never expected that the Independent Column would actually dare to take the initiative to provoke him?
"Baga, it looks like their target is Datong! Datong cannot be lost. If Datong is lost, Baotou will also be divided! Order the 26th Division to abandon all surrounding strongholds and return to defend Datong! All troops involved in Operation Plan No. , reinforce them!"
Okamura Neiji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had prepared for a rainy day. All the troops had already made preparations to march into Datong. The next step was to see whose troops would arrive in Datong first!
The independent column's military fortress, hundreds of kilometers away, also received the intelligence passed back by "Squid".
"Old Li, it's pretty much as we expected. The target of the Japanese's Operation Plan No. 1 is Datong. Although it hasn't been finalized yet, the target shouldn't change. After all, if the assembly point is changed before the war, the impact will be huge!"
"Well, I think they will take action soon! At dawn, order Lu Tianlong's aviation division to attack and bomb the Japanese railways, stations, and military trains!"
"Yes!"
The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, Lu Tianlong's bomber squadron flew towards the Pingsui Line under the cover of Hellcat fighters. After driving away the Japanese planes, they carried out large-scale bombing of the train stations, military trains and railways along the line.
Okamura Yasuji's face turned grim as he read the news about the damage to railways in various places.
"Baka! Our troops have only been riding for half a day, and they have discovered the clues so quickly? Who leaked the information?!"
"General Gangcun, maybe no one leaked the information. It's just that the independent column was afraid that the empire would quickly deploy troops through the Pingsui Line, so they launched a defensive attack!"
Only then did Okamura Neiji calm down a little and immediately gave the order.
"Order, all the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army along the Ping-Sui Line are to devote all their efforts to repairing the railway. Drive all the Chinese laborers to the railway. If the independent column dares to bomb, then kill these lowly Chinese people together!"
Ningji Okamura, who implemented the Three Alls Policy in North China, was a living beast and a devil on earth. It was impossible for him to take the lives of the Chinese people seriously.
Although this trick is despicable, it is indeed very effective.
The pilots of the aviation division looked at the people living along the railway, and they all took their fingers off the fire button and flew away!
"Report, all along the railway are our Chinese compatriots, please instruct us whether to continue the bombing mission!"
"Circle and wait, stay alert, I will report to the commander immediately!"
Li Yunlong and Wang Meng were so angry that they screamed. They didn't expect that they were still using these ordinary people as human shields!
"Old Li, since we can't carry out bombing in the air, let's do some work on the ground!"
Wang Meng called Pingshun Airport and found Monk Wei.
"Wei Dayong, take your most elite soldiers and airdrop to the Pingsui Line area with explosive devices. I have only one request. Before taking Datong, the Japanese railway must be paralyzed!"
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Monk Wei returned to the camp of the 201st Airborne Regiment in a triumphant mood.
"Brothers, we are the real air warriors. The Chief of Staff just issued a combat order. The 201st Airborne Regiment will drop behind enemy lines to destroy the enemy's railway! Come on, shout a slogan!"
"Paratroopers are born to be surrounded!"
