Hearing such a passage, Xiangzu Meijiro also fell into deep thought.
As he thought deeply, the expression on his face became more and more serious.
The person who keenly discovered the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army was the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.
At that time, the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army was also completely open.
At the junction of forces between the two sides, it is often possible to see the two sides shelling each other, or even directly launching military operations on the ground.
Countless reports can also be seen in newspapers in Beiping City and Tianjin City.
In those reports, you can clearly see photos of the battlefield.
The top leaders of both sides are also accusing each other of betrayal, intensifying the conflict.
At that time, both Yoshijiro Kozu and the senior officials of the Kwantung Army believed that if the conflict between the two sides intensified to a certain extent, this would be a very rare opportunity for them.
In addition, the situation on the Pacific battlefield has become very serious. If China does not launch an active attack on the battlefield and seize some resources, then their war situation will be at a complete disadvantage.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army.
However, if you think about it carefully, the information they obtained is actually second-hand information.
Most of this information came from newspapers in Beiping City and announcements issued by both sides.
Even relevant information on the battlefield can be faked.
Because the Japanese intelligence personnel only heard the roar of artillery, only saw the positions in the distance covered by artillery fire, and only saw large numbers of troops mobilizing and marching.
However, they did not see the bloody corpses on the battlefield and the real head-on conflict between the two sides. In other words, it was very difficult for them to get close to the battlefield.
Some Japanese intelligence personnel tried to get close to the battlefield, but lost contact with them.
This made people in the Japanese military intelligence agency guess two possibilities.
The first possibility is that these intelligence personnel were too close to the battlefield, and were hit by enemy shells and bullets, and died directly on the battlefield.
The second possibility is that they were encountered by the enemy's reconnaissance troops on the periphery of the battlefield, so they lost contact.
The third possibility is also the one closest to the correct answer.
That was what the enemy called a battlefield, but it was actually a stage for acting. Their investigators were too close and saw the truth. But they also exposed themselves and were directly executed by the enemy.
However, the Kwantung Army¡¯s headquarters directly eliminated the third possibility.
In other words, they are more willing to believe in the first two possibilities. They are willing to believe that this is a flaw exposed by the enemy, and they know that as long as they grasp this flaw, they can recapture North China and gain advantage on the Chinese battlefield. initiative.
"If this is really the case, perhaps at the beginning of this war, we were not at an advantage, but at a disadvantage."
??Xiangzu Meijiro looked at Guderian and said.
"Is it a disadvantage? That's a good thing. If the enemy is a trap from the beginning, then the moment we walk into the trap, he will have prepared all the means to kill us."
As Guderian said this, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the map and said: "Look at this narrow area, they only need to send a force to deploy our back-end stage in several areas of this area. Each division will be surrounded by the enemy and then all annihilated."
Guderian has clearly understood the situation at this time, but they do not have the relevant information to support these conjectures.
¡°These conjectures are, in the final analysis, just reasonable speculations made by them.
"I think we must dispatch a division of troops to support Jinzhou in our rear."
??Xiangzu Meijiro said immediately.
At this time, Jinzhou had a brigade, a security brigade, and a cavalry division from the puppet Manchukuo, with a total of 15,000 people stationed.
Coupled with the dense fortifications outside Jinzhou and the surrounding city garrison troops, it only takes half a day to support Jinzhou.
Now, if a division is mobilized to return to Jinzhou to support Jinzhou, its defensive troops can reach more than 40,000 people.
This is enough for them to stabilize the Jin Dynasty?'s defensive.
"I support this suggestion."
Guderian said, "But it's not enough. We still have two divisions, which are besieged between the enemy's Shanhaiguan and two highlands.
"If we capture these two enemy highlands before dark today, guess what, when dawn comes the next day, how many people in our two divisions will be alive to see the sun tomorrow?" "
Of course, Xiangzu Yoshijiro knew that what Guderian said was not alarmist.
If the enemy really wants to launch a counterattack, then they must have mobilized enough troops.
As long as there are sufficient troops, the enemy will often annihilate their effective strength at an astounding speed.
¡°The only way is actually to attack the enemy¡¯s two highlands on the front as quickly as possible.¡±
??Xiangzu Meijiro said.
"I think we should start now. We must put enough pressure on the enemy. I have a hunch that the enemy's attack on our two divisions this time will be very fierce, even more fierce than our attack on the enemy's two highlands. The attack must be fierce."
Guderian said, with solemnity in his eyes.
At this time, the Shanhaiguan city gate opened, and the soldiers of the Kagel Combat Division were ready for battle.
The three brigades each have their own division of labor, some serve as reserve troops, some are frontal main attack troops, and one is to bypass the flanks of the Japanese army, cutting off their escape route to the side mountains.
In the direction of the mountains, the reorganization group led by Zhao Gang has also arrived at the scheduled combat position.
Xia Yang asked them to build a defensive position at the mouth of a valley.
If the Japanese army wants to break through from this direction, this is the only way to go.
Zhao Gang looked at the terrain of the valley and said to Zhang Dabiao next to him: "Dabiao, you look at the terrain of the valley. It's really a good place for an ambush. Commander Xia will really pick a place for us, which saves us all the effort." Went to find the ambush site.¡±
Zhang Dabiao said: "I heard from the regimental commander that Commander Xia often came here to survey the terrain in winter. I see that before the war started, he had already thought that this would become the main battlefield, and this place, It may become a focus area for both sides to compete for."
