Chapter 564 It's not that I look down on Jun1 Aoki, but his strength is obvious, the last game
Komatsu Ridge, the location of Aoki Division Headquarters.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Commander Yoshiwara has just sent an urgent telegram. They have been blocked outside Heiyun Ridge and cannot reach Komatsu Ridge as agreed. He requested that we send troops to support them." Communications staff officer Ichiro Ekaku reported with an anxious look on his face and bowed his head.
Jun'ichi Aoki took the telegram handed over by Ichiro Ekaku and looked at it carefully with the help of the dim light. After reading the contents of the telegram, he became more and more uneasy. He thought that the Yoshiwara Brigade could break through Li Yunlong's encirclement and blockade and arrive at Komatsu Ridge on time, but plans can never keep up with changes, and the situation on the battlefield changed drastically in a very short time.
Looking at the battlefield situation map on the desktop, Jun'ichi Aoki had a bad premonition. He felt very uneasy and felt that he had fallen into a trap carefully constructed by Li Yunlong. If he didn't jump out quickly, the Aoki Division would be in danger of being wiped out.
"Jiang Jiao, send a telegram to the commander of the Yoshihara Brigade immediately and ask him to take a detour, no matter how much it costs, to break through Li Yunlong's blockade and reach the Xiaosongling position before noon tomorrow."
"Order the Kuroki Battalion in Ping'an County to immediately arrange a Xiaosongling position for the remaining four battalions, except for one squadron that remains behind."
"For safety's sake, compile our current battlefield situation into a telegram and send it to the Taiyuan Headquarters, requesting the Commander to send troops for support."
Jun'ichi Aoki had no other choice but to hold on. He had ordered all the battalions to drastically shrink their defense lines, and at the same time arranged for people to speed up the digging of anti-tank trenches.
Li Yunlong was also not idle, and was also making preparations before the war. Under the arrangement of Zhao Gang, the transportation battalion had distributed all the ammunition. This battle was different from the previous ones. It would be a decisive battle as soon as it started.
"Lao Zhao, cook all the good things we have hidden today so that the brothers can have a good meal. We don't know how many brothers will be buried here in the battle tomorrow, so we have to let the brothers have a good meal!"
"College student, don't run around tomorrow. Just sit back and command honestly. Don't be like me and lead the team to charge. My armored regiment is not in danger to that extent. You just need to protect yourself and don't make trouble for me. As long as the air force battalion can stop the Japanese fighter planes, I have the confidence to win this battle!" Li Yunlong said confidently.
Lin Zhenhua was not as confident as Li Yunlong. He believed that as long as Aoki Jun'ichi was not stupid, he would definitely be able to see Li Yunlong's combat intentions. For safety reasons, he felt that he had to prepare a backup plan. This battle that everyone was looking forward to might end before it even started.
"Old Li, the situation is much more complicated than we imagined. I think we should be more cautious. Chu Yunfei just sent a battle report. The 358th Regiment's attack on Shentouling did not achieve much success. The Dashi Regiment blocked the 358th Regiment's three rounds of attacks. Chu Yunfei suffered more than 1000 casualties and did not even capture the Japanese's outer positions. From this point, it can be seen that the Japanese are much more difficult to deal with than we imagined."
"Also, in terms of air power, even if I can mobilize all the fighter planes, I can only have a slight advantage in numbers. If we really want to fight an air battle with the Japanese, it will be very difficult for us to gain air superiority. The best result is that both sides fall into a stalemate, and the worst result is that the air force battalion is wiped out, and the Japanese air force completely seizes air superiority on the battlefield."
Zhao Gang followed suit and said, "What the college student said makes sense. Overall, we don't have much of an advantage. After all, we can't mobilize all the troops in the base to participate in this encirclement and annihilation campaign."
"According to our previous discussion with Lao Ding and Lao Kong, the base will deploy an artillery battalion, an air defense battalion, five mechanized infantry battalions, and an armored battalion, a total of eight battalions, with a total of about 6300 personnel."
"Including the 2-plus people in our armored regiment, the total is about 1 people. The Aoki Division now has nearly 9000 troops left, plus more than 1 puppet troops. The ratio of the two sides is about 1 to . Even if the puppet troops we despise are weak, we still need two regiments to confront them. The real force we have to fight against the devils should be more than people. The real ratio of the enemy and us should be about to ."
"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese has indeed weakened a lot compared to two years ago, but the combat effectiveness of our soldiers is also not as good as it was two years ago. If we hadn't equipped a large number of automatic weapons, we would not be able to compete head-on with the Japanese. We must be aware of this and must not be too ambitious."
Li Yunlong's expression also became serious. He pointed to the map hanging in the back of the car and said, "Old Zhao, college student, I did a lot of homework to take down the Aoki Division this time."
"The biggest threat to us from the Aoki Division is Jun'ichi Aoki's heavy artillery battalion. The 16 105mm heavy howitzers can inflict huge damage to our armored forces. The range of our 105mm howitzers is nearly one kilometer less than that of the Japanese. If we don't get rid of them, this battle will be really difficult."
"But I'm not just here to eat and work. You all forgot that we still have a biggest trump card in our hands that we haven't used yet. That is the 200mm heavy rocket that the college students successfully developed before leaving the base. It has been successfully equipped to the troops."
"According to the information I got from Lao Kong, the arsenal has worked overtime and has produced 66 200mm heavy rockets. It is precisely because of this that I have the confidence to kill the Japanese heavy artillery battalion."
"We only need to let our heavy rocket artillery battalion fire a round of salvos at the Japanese heavy artillery battalion, and we can kill the Japanese's biggest killer. As long as we get rid of the Japanese heavy artillery, the Aoki Division will no longer have weapons to threaten us. With our current firepower, even if the Japanese are made of copper and iron, they still can't withstand our fierce attack!"
"I have just given Shen Quan a death order, requiring him to stop the Yoshiwara Brigade at all costs. As long as we block the Black Cloud Ridge Pass and prevent the Japanese reinforcements from coming, we will win this battle."
"It's not that I look down on the Aoki Division, but the gap in our weapons and equipment is too big. Unless the Japanese devils can grow wings and fly away, I am confident that I can wipe out the Aoki Division in its entirety."
Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang did not expect that Li Yunlong had made so many preparations in advance. A relaxed smile appeared on his face. As long as the threat of the Japanese heavy artillery was resolved, there would be no suspense in this battle. As for the Japanese anti-tank trenches, it was not a difficult task for the armored regiment. In order to make tomorrow's battle smoother, after the Japanese air force withdrew, Maoershan Airport sent 6 transport planes and airlifted 24 buckets to flatten the Japanese trenches tomorrow.
"Lao Li, hearing what you said, I am completely relieved. I will go to the engineering company and arrange for the construction of the steel road tomorrow. No matter how much it costs, we must build a steel road leading to the enemy's position within half an hour."
"As for asking Nakamura Ichiro for information, it's better for you, Lao Li, to do it. I have a blood feud with Hirata Kojiro, and there's no guarantee that he won't have any crooked ideas. We have to be selective in believing the information sent by Nakamura Ichiro and his men."
Before leaving, Lin Zhenhua gave a worried reminder. It was not that he was judging others by his own mean character, but there were no so-called rules when helping the invaders. For some reason, there was always a sense of crisis lingering in his heart. There was a voice deep in his heart telling him that Kojiro Hirata would trick them severely at the critical moment. Because of this, Lin Zhenhua had always been highly vigilant against Kojiro Hirata.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not defend Hirata Kojiro and his friends. The reason was very simple. The relationship between the two parties was based on interests, which was very unreliable. After Li Yunlong gave all the balance to Hirata Kojiro and his friends, the relationship between the two parties was likely to turn into enmity.
The facts were exactly as Lin Zhenhua had expected. Hirata Kojiro and his group, who had finally reached a consensus last time, once again broke out into a fierce argument over whether or not to save the Aoki Division.
"Everyone, this is a dead end that Li Yunlong has prepared for the Aoki Division. We must not stand idly by. Once the Aoki Division is completely wiped out, it will bring a series of terrible consequences. First of all, the safety of our Ping'an County will not be guaranteed. It will be within the attack range of the enemy's armored forces at any time. I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well at night in the future."
"Helping the Aoki Division is also helping ourselves. Our current situation is already very critical, and the situation is much worse than we imagined. We can't let Li Yunlong continue like this, otherwise we will not only fail to get the balance back, but we may even become Li Yunlong's captives. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Based on my understanding of Li Yunlong, he is definitely capable of doing such a thing."
"By then, the 50 ocean deposit that Li Yunlong gave us will fall into his hands again. We will have worked hard in vain, and in the end all the benefits will fall into Li Yunlong's pocket. Such a stupid thing is happening, we must stop it immediately!" Colonel Kuroki argued angrily with his face flushed.
