Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 756: We really underestimated the Japs before. If we hadn’t realized it early, we would have

At the headquarters of the Japanese 12th Army, Yoshio Shinozuka was listening to the report from his staff. When he heard that all the defenders of Niangzi Pass had been dispatched, an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Yoshi! The enemy has fallen into our trap. Now it's time to close the net. Order the Aoki Division and the Saito Division to immediately encircle the enemy from the left and right wings and destroy the main force of the Chinese defenders at Niangziguan!"

"Send a telegram to Fujiwara Ichiro and ask him to immediately mobilize all the fighter planes he can to launch a bombing operation on Niangzi Pass."

"Urgently contact Yamamoto's special forces and have them immediately take a transport plane to airdrop into Niangzi Pass and prepare to seize the Niangzi Pass position."

"To ensure that everything goes well, I have asked General Tada to arrange for two squadrons of paratroopers to provide support. If that is not enough, we can increase it to a battalion."

"We have carefully planned this battle. Li Yunlong has fallen into our trap. This is a very good opportunity. As long as we can take Niangzi Pass, Taiyuan City will be within our grasp."

"In order to prevent Chinese troops from other places from assisting Niangziguan, immediately issue orders to all units under the 12th Army, requiring them to strictly follow the winter action plan and take this opportunity to recapture the county town we have lost."

Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua never imagined that they would fall into the trap of the Japanese. The cunning Yoshio Shinozuka had long anticipated that the two would launch a large-scale counterattack, and directly adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory, anticipating all the actions taken by the two in advance.

However, there was one thing that was beyond Yoshio Shinozuka's expectations, that was the firepower of the Niangzi Pass defenders completely exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that Lin Zhenhua would accumulate such a strong air force!

The changes on the battlefield soon attracted the attention of Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua, and they soon realized that this was a conspiracy of the Japanese.

"College students, we have been taught a hard lesson by the Japanese this time. Even I did not expect that all this was actually a trick of the Japanese. It seems that we have indeed underestimated the Japanese before."

"Shinozuka Yoshio is much more cunning than we thought. We have been trying to lure the Japanese into this trap, but we forgot that the Japanese are not fools either. Their combat capability is very strong."

"This incident is a good reminder for both of us. We should never underestimate the devils at any time, otherwise we will suffer a great loss!"

Li Yunlong looked at the battlefield situation with a serious face and said with a sigh.

Lin Zhenhua had the same feeling. It was also the first time he realized how difficult the Japanese devils were to deal with. He had underestimated Yoshio Shinozuka before, otherwise he would not have been so careless.

"Old Li, your reminder is very correct. We really can't underestimate the devils in the future, otherwise we will have to eat bones."

"Fortunately, after a month and a half of gathering strength, our air and artillery forces have been strengthened again. Since two rocket launcher battalions and two artillery battalions are not enough, we can use two more rocket launcher battalions and one artillery regiment to blow the Japanese's turtle shells to pieces with our super firepower."

"Take this opportunity to dispatch two more armored battalions. Since the Japs are determined to fight us head-on, we cannot refuse to fight back. We must let the Japs see how powerful we are. Otherwise, we will inevitably fall asleep if they keep watching us every day!"
