Chapter 293: Deployment of the Seventh War Zone

Cho Isamu looked at everyone: "This problem is very easy to solve."

"We can requisition food locally."

"If the ammunition is spent!"

"We will engage the Republic of China Army in hand-to-hand combat."

"After all, the Republic of China Army is also very short of ammunition."

Upon hearing this, Kabe Torashiro felt that what Cho Isamu said made sense.

However, the front line was stretched too thin, and logistics were indeed a difficult problem.

Upon learning of Yu Hua's plan, Liu Dashuai also gave his full approval.

For the Seventh War Zone's subsequent operations, Yu Hua had several Divisions of the Sichuan Army.

When a large army advances, it easily gets bogged down in river networks; for hundreds of thousands of troops to advance, floating bridges must be built.

"Marshal!"

The defensive positions Yu Hua set up here corresponded from north to south, allowing both sides to support each other.

This made Yu Hua's head swell up all of a sudden!

Liu Dashuai was very satisfied!

After discussing how to disperse the Japanese Army's forces.

As long as the Second War Zone could coordinate its forces well, it could completely carry out another counter-assault just like last time.

Most of the Japanese Army still decided to abolish the directive line and pursue forward.

It was truly impossible to continue the pursuit forward.

The Tenth Army now wanted to seize the fruits of victory, which was very disadvantageous for the Shanghai Expeditionary Army.

The two of them simply decided to do something big.

He also ordered the Shanghai Expeditionary Army to continue the pursuit.

Yu Hua had made his decision.

The little devils have reinforced their troops!

He did not know Yu Hua's tactics, but looking at the deployment of the Seventh War Zone now.

Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army.

Moreover, he specifically adopted a joint operation of inner and outer lines.

The terrain here is steep, which is favorable for the Sichuan Army to defend.

They needed materials and tools, and at the moment, nothing was ready yet.

In the direction of Niangziguan.

The two of them said loudly: "Your Excellency, General."

In this way, even if the Japanese Army could not be annihilated, it could still inflict massive casualties upon them.

The Sichuan Army on the inner line would conduct defense, while the Sichuan Army on the outer line would be the mobile force.

He also believed that this operational plan of Yu Hua's could effectively utilize the advantages of the Sichuan Army.

As the Chief of Staff for the Central China Area, Tsukada Osamu also pointed out that the Jinling area was densely covered with water networks.

Liu Dashuai asked Yu Hua about the subsequent deployment of the Seventh War Zone.

Their words were like a heavy hammer, striking hard at Matsui Iwane's heart.

Organize superior forces and immediately conduct a counter-assault on the Niangziguan line.

The areas garrisoned by the Sichuan Army were all on the mountain ranges of Tianmu Mountain.

The Second War Zone on the Jin Province Battlefield, and the 22nd Group Army in the direction of Niangziguan.

Li Jiayu did not participate in the last counter-attack of the 22nd Group Army.

If they were to pursue forward, they would also need to prepare winter uniforms.

He had to think of a way.

Such a big pile of devils is not easy to fight at all.

The Sichuan Army of the Seventh War Zone was also having a hard time.

Many devils in the Imperial General Headquarters were also very angry at first.

The first to speak was Deng Xihou.

Ceng Guofan's Xiang Army and the Taiping Army fought a tug-of-war here for years.

The Sichuan Army could rely on the mountain ranges to choose the right time to launch specific attacks.

Then, draw the Japanese Army that had moved south back to the north, so as to resolve the pressure in the south.

Now the generals of the 22nd Group Army.

"He used the Landmine Array again."

The warriors of the Imperial Army were still wearing summer uniforms while fighting.

"In this way, the 23rd Group Army, while blocking the advance of the Tenth Army..."

Moreover, the devils now had newly arrived Divisions and a batch of Weaponry.

"Yanagawa Heisuke's goal is to take Jinling before our Shanghai Expeditionary Army."

Liu Dashuai was very happy; after receiving the operational plan, he also praised Yu Hua to the Sichuan Army generals.

Sun Zhen stepped forward and said: "Marshal!"

As Shimomura Sadamu's assistant, Kabe Torashiro also immediately reported this matter to the Imperial General Headquarters.

Now the troops were strong and well-equipped, and after resting, they had recovered much of their vitality.

Sichuan Province was also close to the Second War Zone.

Yu Hua had already thought it through.

"This kid Yu Hua, he arranged for operations on the outer lines."

Last time, Yu Hua sent several military maps of the Seventh War Zone to the 22nd Group Army on the Jin Province Battlefield.

"We must take action and follow closely in the footsteps of the 10th Army."

"If we use this to divide up the spoils of war, then my Shanghai Expeditionary Army will fall behind."

"Right now, the 10th Army has sent a telegram stating that they have already broken through the directive line."

Yu Hua also conducted several telephonic communications with Marshal Liu.

Looking at the map, the defense Yu Hua arranged for the 23rd Group Army to intercept the Japanese Army's advance is quite good.

Specifically looking for opportunities on the outer lines to attack the Japanese Army's transport lines.

Marching to the Guangde and Si'an line to block the 10th Army's advance.

Now, the strength of the 22nd Group Army is no longer what it used to be.

After Matsui Iwane finished listening to Cho Isamu's words, he actually disagreed somewhat.

Regarding the upcoming operations.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army wants to strike the Japanese Army hard in the Pingjin Region.

Seeing that Tsukada Osamu took this point into consideration, Matsui Iwane also pointed out that winter was approaching.

At the time when the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army counterattacked, they struck directly into Zhuozhou City.

Nanjingtang, Lijia Lane, and Lvxian Town form the second line of defense.

The Pingjin Area Army is now adopting a comprehensive defensive posture.

The Japanese devils mobilized two reinforcement divisions from their home country, plus the Jing'an Army dispatched from the north.

This is somewhat similar to Guerrilla Warfare!

The Tianmu Mountain range is now occupied by the Sichuan Army.

The Seventh War Zone is indeed under great pressure right now.

Military supplies and Weaponry produced within the province have already begun to be transported to the 22nd Group Army in a steady stream.

Seventh War Zone, this is how Yu Hua arranged it.

The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan dispatched heavy troops to garrison here in order to safeguard Tianjing.

Back during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement.

Because the people below dared to ignore the directive line they issued, but after discussion.

These two places have steep terrain and have always been strategic locations contested by military strategists.

Through communication with Marshal Liu.

After Cho Isamu and Muto Akira finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly became quiet.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

In the Sichuan Army Seventh War Zone.

"Letting the Sichuan Army destroy the Railway and highways to intercept the enemy when the opportunity arises—this tactic is truly effective."

The Japanese Army possesses aircraft and artillery, and the troops' advance relies entirely on the Railway and highways.

The Sichuan Army's troops are deployed in the Tianmu Mountain area, where they can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

With the Japanese devils' front line stretched so long, ambushing the transport lines will certainly achieve very good results.

"It will certainly be able to exert maximum advantage."

They were also all in the conference room, watching the map.

At the same time, several other units are also constructing positions between Changxing and Yixing on the Jinghang National Highway.

The 22nd Group Army's plan from last time for fighting the Pingjin Area Army.

If the operation is favorable, it can also cut the Japanese Army into several sections, making it impossible for their head and tail to support each other.

Cho Isamu and Muto Akira, these two, saw that Matsui Iwane and Tsukada Osamu were worried about this and that.

Yu Hua had already learned of the news of the Japanese Army sending reinforcements to Songhu through the Sichuan Army's intelligence system.

Now!

Whether it is the Shanghai Expeditionary Army or the 10th Army that comes.

At the same time!

Quite a few generals also believed this operation plan was perfect.

Even if the Republic of China Army is weak, without ammunition, fighting hand-to-hand combat is simply not feasible.

This will cause the Seventh War Zone to face tremendous pressure next.

This old devil Matsui Iwane has relented.

The Japanese Army in the Pingjin Region has a force of only over two hundred thousand men.

As for the operation plan, Marshal Liu still let this kid Yu Hua make it.

Thereby delaying the Japanese Army's forward advance!

The other Sichuan Army generals all clapped and cheered one by one.

In any case, whenever Adjutant Yu fights, he can almost always achieve results.
