Now the Japanese army has mobilized two brigades from Chahar¡¯s dispatched troops, which makes Chahar¡¯s already weak defense even weaker.
But it actually makes sense for Yoshio Shinozuka to do this.
Because there are not many traces of guerrilla activities in Chahar, the only thing we need to be wary of is the Soviet Union in the north.
But now the Soviets and the Germans are fighting fiercely and have no time to care about the Far East. So the little devils don¡¯t have to worry about the Soviets¡¯ steel torrent going south to attack them.
As for Mongolia, from the perspective of the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army is probably less than half of the combat effectiveness of the national army.
So on the long border with Mongolia, the total number of troops they deployed was only tens of thousands.
In the Chahar area, at this time, the Japanese army only had two independent mixed brigades, three cavalry regiments, and a cavalry division composed of puppet troops. The combined total number was less than 20,000.
After receiving the order from Xia Yang, the Kagel Combat Division, which had been preparing for the war for a long time, finally left the camp and moved closer to the border area.
Their troops have basically become mechanized and mules and horses. A large number of cavalry and armored troops formed a torrent of steel and moved south along the flat and open Mongolian plateau.
The target of their attack this time is Hohhot, an important town in Inner Mongolia!
After attacking here, they will be able to basically control the economic, political and military center of Chahar.
Going east, they can attack Ulanqab and directly threaten Datong. To the west, you can attack Baotou and control a large area of ??territory west of Inner Mongolia.
At this time, there were only two mixed brigades left of the Japanese troops stationed in Hohhot, with a combined strength of less than 10,000 people.
These two mixed brigade groups are the 32nd mixed brigade and the 12th mixed brigade.
The two brigades are unified under the command of Kitano Hiranobu, commander of the Japanese Chahar Expeditionary Force.
Liu Fudong was sitting on the tank, looking at the armored troops winding forward like a long dragon in front of him, and he was filled with emotions.
In just a few years, he has gone from a company commander with less than a hundred people under his command to a division commander commanding tens of thousands of troops.
Liu Fudong knew that all of this was given to him by military commander Xia Yang. If it weren't for Xia Yang, he might have been treated as cannon fodder and died on the battlefield at this time.
This time, the Kagel combat division can almost be said to have come out in full force.
Five tank regiments, four motorized infantry regiments, five automobile regiments, two heavy howitzer regiments, and two mountain artillery regiments. There are also four infantry regiments, four cavalry regiments, and two rapid reaction regiments. A direct guard regiment. The total number of people is 60,000.
Except for the two garrison regiments and several militia regiments that stayed behind in the Kagel tribe, all other troops were brought back by Liu Fudong this time.
Patriarch Beilun looked at the vast plain in front of him, his eyes shining with light.
He looked up at the sky, then clasped his hands on his chest and prayed devoutly.
"God of Immortality, bless your children to succeed! We will follow in the footsteps of Genghis Khan and go all the way south!"
"Master! The vanguard has sent a telegram, saying that our first cavalry regiment and the second cavalry regiment have found traces of the Japanese cavalry regiment in the border area." Wang, the chief of staff during the Kagel battle Zhen Yao shouted loudly.
The rumble of the tanks almost covered up his voice.
Liu Fudong signaled the tank he was riding in to stop on the roadside, and then spread out the map on the armor of the tank.
In a short time, Beilun, Si Yu and Shen Fei arrived here.
They were the core commanders during the entire Kagor battle. Beilun mainly commanded several motorized infantry regiments and cavalry regiments, while Siyu was responsible for commanding several tank regiments.
As for Shen Fei, he is mainly responsible for leading several artillery regiments to provide fire support.
¡°Our vanguards, the First Cavalry Regiment and the Second Cavalry Regiment, have discovered traces of two Japanese cavalry regiments in the border area.
These two Japanese cavalry regiments are just patrolling the border on a daily basis, not to deal with us. I now have a rough battle plan. Liu Fudong pointed at the map and said.
"Come and tell me!" the old Beilun patriarch said with a smile on his rosy face.
Liu Fudong said: "According to the information provided by the military commander,?, the Japanese troops in Chahar are very limited. These two cavalry regiments are their main force. In addition, there are only two independent mixed brigades stationed outside Hohhot, and one scattered in several cities. Cavalry Division. "
"Then we attack Hohhot directly. Our troops are at their peak. The Japanese troops lack effective anti-tank weapons and cannot threaten us at all." Si Yu said directly.
But Liu Fudong shook his head and said: "There are permanent Japanese fortifications in the outskirts of Hohhot. There are also two brigades. If they discover our offensive intentions, these two brigades, with nearly 10,000 people, will shrink." Not out.
If they resist stubbornly, even if we attack Hohhot, it will probably take some time. "
"Led the snake out of the hole?" Shen Fei asked.
Although the old Beilun patriarch can speak Chinese, he does not understand these idioms very well. At this time, listening to the discussion between the three people, I felt a little confused.
Liu Fudong nodded and said: "We can attack the two cavalry regiments of the Japanese army first and draw their two brigades out to support. Then we can directly annihilate this Japanese army in the open area on the grassland.
The premise for this is that our main force cannot be exposed and must conceal its whereabouts! "
Beilun said: "Don't worry, our cavalry has already investigated. The Japanese army's control over Chahar is not that tight. They only station troops in a few core cities. Some small tribes do not have any troops at all. deploy."
Liu Fudong said: "Then we will change the march time to night. At the same time, the Third Cavalry Regiment and the Fourth Cavalry Regiment on the flanks will also quietly encircle the two Japanese cavalry regiments."
Beilun said: "Leave it to me! Commanding the cavalry in battle is what I am best at!"
With that said, he directly mounted his horse and began to lead the Third and Fourth Cavalry Regiments in front towards the First and Second Cavalry Regiments.
"You also order the troops to rest and continue marching at night!" Liu Fudong said to Shen Fei and Si Yu.
The two nodded, and then they went to the troops under their respective command and began to order the troops to rest in place.
At this time, they were less than dozens of kilometers away from the border.
According to their marching speed at this time, it will only take two days to reach the outskirts of Hohhot. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
