Shandong Laiyang Iron Blood Army Division
Zhou Weiguo and Jiang Baili were looking at the map in the battle command room.
"Look, this is the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in various parts of Shandong. The rest are basically small groups of Japanese troops and puppet troops. We can ignore them. Only Caozhou and Linzi are stationed with the 14th and 9th divisions of the Japanese army!”
Jiang Baili drew a circle in Caozhou and Baishan respectively with a pencil and said,"You released that plain code telegram, established your own army, and declared war on the Japanese army. I guess the Japanese army will definitely not let you off!”
"Besides, the other troops of the Republic of China, other than those that fought in Xuzhou, are basically all motley crew. The Japanese army can sweep through them with just one brigade! But…"
Jiang Baili looked at Zhou Weiguo and said," But there's still the 101st Division here. Our 101st Division's battle to establish our prestige was to use a division's strength to completely annihilate the Japanese Keibu Bunninety-first Mixed Brigade. Therefore, the Japanese must be very afraid of you!"”
"In addition to your direct declaration of war against Japan this time, the new and old grudges will be settled together. I guess…the Japanese army will definitely mobilize the two divisions in the Shandong region!”
"With an absolute advantage, I will eliminate you, the general of the Republic of China!”
Jiang Baili looked at Zhou Weiguo with a faint smile and said,""Moreover, the other Japanese troops outside Shandong will definitely set up defenses at the border. If necessary, they will also carry out encirclement and suppression.”
Zhou Weiguo looked at Jiang Baili's analysis and revealed a serious expression. He frowned and said,"Then do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Baili sneered and said," You think too highly of me. This time, the Japanese army is coming menacingly. They directly mobilized the forces of two Class A divisions to attack. This is the general trend. It can be said that they have an absolute advantage in strength!”
"Under such circumstances, there's nothing we can do! We can only fight to the end!"
Zhou Weiguo frowned and touched his forehead. He smiled bitterly and said,""Looks like the Iron Blood Army is doomed this time?”
"Although there are more than 20,000 people in the Iron Blood Army now, half of them are new recruits who have just been recruited. The training time is less than two months.”
"Weren't the exploration team you fought with the Sentinel Guard the last time all new recruits?" asked Jiang Baili.”
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said," This is different. The last time, the Imperial Guards were only a mixed exploration team. There were only five to six thousand people with real combat strength. The rest were all supplies and engineering teams. Moreover, they did not have heavy artillery! That was why these new recruits could be trained!”
"But this time is different. The two divisions of the Japanese army are both Class A divisions. They are quite powerful in the Japanese army and can be considered elites! Moreover, as a Class A division, there would definitely be heavy artillery and tanks. There might even be Japanese air forces on the battlefield!”
"With the three-dimensional attack of the air and ground, coupled with the superior strength of the Japanese army, I really don't know if the Iron Blood Army can survive!”
Jiang Baili smiled and said," You're just eating the carrot and worrying about it now. The Japanese army hasn't even attacked yet and you're already panicking. Didn't you say that you were quite determined in the plain code telegram before?"”
"Isn't that to strengthen our determination to fight the war?" Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly. Give the people the courage to continue supporting? Besides, if I die alone, I'll die. I'm worried about how many of these 20,000 soldiers will survive this battle!”
Hearing Zhou Weiguo's words, Jiang Baili also put down the pencil in his hand and said,""That's right! They are all young people!"
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much!" "Let's make a battle plan first!" Zhou Weiguo said. The Japanese army was coming aggressively. If they could not survive this battle, the Iron Blood Army might be destroyed!”
Jiang Baili nodded and said," You see, the 14th division of the Japanese army is now stationed in Caozhou, Yutai, and Jinxiang County, while the 9th division is stationed in Linzi. If they come to us, they will definitely pass through half of Shandong. This gives us an opportunity!”
"If we plan properly, we might be able to resolve this deadly situation!”Jiang Baili said after studying it carefully.
"Oh?"
"Look, the Japanese army's 16th Division is at the southwest border of Shandong. If they want to go to Laiyang, they will need to pass through Pi County, Sishui County, Mengyin County, Laiwu County, Boshan County, Yidu County, Changle County, Anqiu County, Gaomi County, Pinghan County, and other counties. The terrain in the middle is complicated, and the transportation of supplies is slow. It will take at least four to five days to reach Mengyin County! The 9th division was located in the Linzi area in the north of Shandong. They only needed to pass through Guangyue, Shouguang, and Zxian to reach it. The terrain was flat and open, so it only took them a day and a half to reach Laiyang!”
After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Weiguo and said hesitantly,"I have a plan. Perhaps we have a chance of winning this battle! However, I'm afraid you'll find it a little inappropriate!”
Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up.”
Jiang Baili looked into Zhou Weiguo's eyes and said slowly,""Choose a unit that dares to die and march to Mengyin and Boshan to build a defense line. Fight to the death to stop the Japanese 14th Division. The rest of the troops will go to Zexian and fight to the death with the Japanese 9th Division! Then we might be able to win this battle!"
Zhou Weiguo frowned and said,"What about the troops that are heading to Mengyin and Boshan?”
Jiang Baili sighed and did not speak!
"Are you saying that this unit is abandoned?”Zhou Weiguo instantly stood up and said,"Then why should they be abandoned? One had to know that the troops heading to Meng Yin and Bo Mountain would definitely have a slim chance of survival. It was even possible that they would be completely wiped out!”
"Then what can you do? If the two divisions of the Japanese army were to invade, there was only one way to survive. If there were other ways, would I do it? You cherish them, and so do I! But…"
"This is war!"
"There will be bloodshed in war! There will be death in war!"
"If we don't do this! The Iron Blood Army was about to be completely annihilated!”Jiang Baili looked at Zhou Weiguo and said excitedly,""War is not child's play. There is no second chance. As a commander, you have to be decisive. Indecisiveness will only ruin the entire army!”
"Think about it carefully!" Jiang Baili dropped his pencil and left. When he reached the door, he said,"We don't have much time left. Make up your mind as soon as possible!”
