Chapter 595 The side of the bed
Suzuki Jiro stopped talking halfway.
Then Akashi Mikiyo was left to add the rest of the words.
We also want Akashi Mikiyo to have some sense of participation.
"what do you mean……"
"Attack the West City or the South City?"
"With the few troops we have, can we do it?"
"Although the casualties in the attack on Fencheng were not great, several thousand soldiers were still killed or wounded..."
"My 37th Division can barely muster over 17 men right now. Together with the th Tank Regiment, that's only troops."
"That's all the troops we have."
"Is it really enough?"
"Will..."
The commander of the Japanese 37th Division, Akishiro Mikiyo, is obviously the type of person who is both inexperienced and playful.
He wants to gain military merit, but is unwilling to take risks.
So at this time I seemed a little hesitant.
There is no risk compared to doing nothing.
If something really happened and there were heavy casualties, it would be an even more serious crime.
"Fifteen thousand elite troops."
"It's enough."
"Also... we still have a large number of Fencheng Army uniforms that we can continue to use to camouflage ourselves."
"Since we are going to fight, we must choose a significant target."
"For example, Biancheng, the capital of Southern Province."
"Anseong, the capital of Western Province."
"We are about 400 kilometers away from Biancheng, the capital of Southern Province."
"It's about... over 500 kilometers from Ancheng, the capital of Western Province."
Jiro Suzuki spoke eloquently.
Since he can talk like this, it can only mean one thing.
That was planned long ago.
"Based on distance, it would be more cost-effective to attack Biancheng, the capital of Southern Province."
"Over 400 kilometers, although it's quite a distance..."
"But if we grit our teeth and march like crazy... we can get there in five days."
Akashi Mikiyo, commander of the Japanese 37th Division, pondered.
"But the Southern Province is where the enemy's main city troops focus their strategy."
"There are no less than 100,000 troops guarding here alone."
"Going to Southern Province is still a risky endeavor."
"But if we travelled an extra 100 kilometres to Ancheng, the capital of Western Province, the situation would be different."
"Not only are there troops from the enemy's main city, but there are also local troops from the Western Province."
"And from what I know, the commander of the enemy's main city is quite harsh on these local troops from the Western Province. After all, these local troops from the Western Province are considered a ragtag group of ragtag groups, and it's understandable that they are not well-received."
"It will continue like this."
"There are major conflicts between the local miscellaneous troops stationed in the Western Province and the enemy's main city's main forces."
"Even if we start a battle, it will be impossible for everyone to be united."
“This provides us with many convenient conditions.”
"and……"
"Captain Akashi."
"If we can capture Ancheng in Western Province, it will be like planting the most important nail in Western Province."
"It opened up the way for the Empire to enter the Western Province."
“The strategic significance of this.”
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, must see things more clearly than I do."
Jiro Suzuki patiently and patiently persuaded them.
Step by step, fascinating.
"Western Province..."
"Adjacent... adjacent to..."
"Their main city?"
"If we can capture Ancheng, the capital of Western Province..."
"It can directly threaten their main city."
"After that, we can even lead the charge... conquer their main city... take over their capital..."
"This is an unprecedented feat!"
The eyes of Akishiro Mikiyo, commander of the Japanese 37th Division, gradually brightened.
Breathing.
More and more rapid.
The light in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Follow your passion.
Abnormal surge.
"Suzuki-kun."
"I have always felt that you were a capable and outstanding officer of the Empire."
"It turns out."
"I didn't misjudge him."
"Since you have made a decision, then carry it out."
"Captain of our division."
"I will spare no effort to support you!"
"Suzuki-kun! Please rest assured about this."
"You and I are now together in life and death."
"As long as the commander of this division is still alive, I will never let anyone hurt you."
At this moment, Akashi Mikiyo's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
There are more and more smiles on my face.
My mood became more and more cheerful.
after all.
Or is it the interests that lock everything?
While Shanxi Province was immersed in the joy of victory.
A disguised Japanese army began to advance quietly towards the Western Province.
……
Taiyuan.
Taiyuan gradually stabilized.
The third day after Lin Xu conquered Taiyuan.
Sudden.
A troop approached Taiyuan.
And they set up camp in front of Taiyuan.
"commander."
"It's the troops from the main city."
"The 57th, 90th, and 107th Divisions in the main city."
"Previously, the troops of these three divisions were stationed far away from Taiyuan."
“I didn’t expect it to suddenly appear at this time.”
"They also said that the Japanese might attack Taiyuan at any time, and they are here to help us defend Taiyuan."
"commander."
"They have other intentions than drinking."
"This is to insert a troop right under our noses."
"and……"
"commander."
"According to Director Zhuge's intelligence, the main city has drawn no less than 100,000 troops from the Western and Southern Provinces and is advancing towards Jin Province."
"Originally, the main city's troops deployed in Shanxi Province were only the 57th, 90th, and 107th Divisions."
"Now a large-scale reinforcement of troops is suddenly being sent to Jin Province..."
"Don't you think it's unusual?"
"When the war in Jin Province was at its most dangerous, the commander in the main city chose to stand by and watch."
"Now Taiyuan has been taken."
"The Japs have been driven away, but they have sent three divisions of troops here."
"And according to the time calculation, the three divisions should have been heading towards Taiyuan when the Taiyuan War just broke out."
"commander."
"That's exactly what happened."
Chang Naichao gave a brief report.
And put forward some reasonable guesses of his own.
Lin Xu habitually lit a cigarette for himself.
While smoking, his mind will be clearer.
"The sudden dispatch of troops from the main city."
"What does Weiguo think?"
As Lin Xu spoke, he handed a cigarette to Zhou Weiguo and Chang Naichao.
"I think the Commander has made up his mind, right?"
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, and then continued:
"In fact, sending troops from the main city to Taiyuan for so-called defense is simply a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken. They have no good intentions."
"I suspect that when the Battle of Taiyuan broke out, the commander in the main city saw the potential for profit and feared we would monopolize Taiyuan, so he quickly transferred these three infantry divisions to Taiyuan."
"When the time comes, all they need to do is fire a few shots on the battlefield, and then we can publish in the newspapers that they were the main force that captured Taiyuan. Then we can swallow Taiyuan up in one gulp."
"What they didn't expect was that we conquered Taiyuan so quickly."
"Based on this premise, it's not easy for them to forcefully demand Taiyuan."
"But I'm unwilling to let them retreat like this."
“That’s why this scene happened.”
