Chapter 418 A big appetite

The Japanese commanders agreed with Major General Saburo Saburo's words.

Who doesn’t know that if the enemy in front of you is eliminated, you will have the entire South Borneo. However, the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army is so powerful, can it be eliminated by means of elimination?

Thinking of countless officers and soldiers corpses in front of the Indonesian xenophobic army, but they could not shake the main position of the enemy at all, all the Japanese commanders fell into deep thought.

"Cough" Watanabe Akira Watanabe, the commander of the 3rd Division who had just arrived, coughed and said loudly: "Sakata, as far as I know, there are still about 10,000 main forces of the enemy. They occupy favorable terrain and defend to the death. In this case, what good strategies do you have to destroy them?"

"This..." Saburo Sakada showed an awkward look and said with his head down: "Your Excellency Watanabe, I am so humble. I can't think of a good idea to wipe out the enemy here for the time being."

Watanabe Akira looked around his colleagues and saw that everyone was frowning. He could only sit in the first place and temporarily acting as commander-in-chief. He Buye, the commander of the 17th Division, smiled and looked confident.

Watanabe Joe was overjoyed and asked happily: "Ichiho-jun, you have always been resourceful. Did you think of a brilliant plan to wipe out the enemy's army?"

"Yes," Yihuwei did not hide it, and said in a shocking way: "You guys, the Indonesian xenophobic army is standing on the front line of Shentou Village, and it is a self-destruction. If they continue to stick to Shentou Village, within half a month, our army will have a great opportunity to wipe out it completely."

What? It is a blessing to be able to defeat Indonesian xenophobic army and occupy Shentou Village. You have to wipe out them all, and your appetite is too big

Many team captains looked puzzled. Could it be that Yihuwei will continue to attack Shentou Village? In that case, the entire army on the front line will be at risk of being crippled.

"The commander of the Indonesian xenophobic army did not originally intend to fight our army here." Aihu Bingwei analyzed: "It was because the 19th Regiment was rash and rampant, and they were surrounded by them. They tried to wipe out the 19th Regiment and give our army a greater blow, so they sent the main force to stop our army.

Now our army has occupied Ningyuan Village and other villages, and left the mountain road behind these villages. It only takes one day to reach the besieged place of the 19th Regiment. As long as our army sends two wings to rescue the remnants of the 19th Regiment before the Indonesian xenophobic army reacts, and then builds a blocking position there, the Indonesian xenophobic army in front of us can be trapped here."

Katsuka Tsuka frowned and asked, "Ichiho-jun, what you mean is to stop attacking Shento Village and let the troops of the rescue 19th Regiment cut off the Indonesian xenophobic army's rear route and logistics supplies, and then wait for the Indonesian xenophobic army to collapse on its own due to food shortage, right?"

"Yosi is exactly that, this is the best result." Ichiho Hiroewe replied.

Katsuka Tsukamoto said with a wry smile: "However, the commander of the Indonesian xenophobic army is not an ordinary person. He will definitely send troops to attack and obstruct our army's advance. The remaining troops of the 19th Regiment are short of medicine and food. By the time our army arrives, they may no longer be able to support it and cannot resist the enemy's offensive and be destroyed. Moreover, the commander of the Indonesian xenophobic army is not a fool. If the situation is wrong, they will definitely escape earlier."

"Zhumoto-kun, don't forget that our army has a powerful cavalry corps that have not come in handy yet." Ichiho Bingwei said calmly: "The road from Shento Village to Kunsha Town is wide in the terrain and there are no large forests to escape. The Indonesian xenophobic army blocked us here is their biggest mistake."

"It's right" Watanabe Hashiba learned it and said in agreement: "Our army currently has three cavalry units gathered here. Whenever the Indonesian xenophobic army retreats, our cavalry can pursue and encircle them in time, leaving them with no way to escape."

"After occupying the large and small villages on the right side of Shentouling, the Indonesian xenophobic army becomes more passive. Of course, the later the Indonesian xenophobic army retreats, the more beneficial it will be to our army." Akabu Bingwei said with a smile.

Katsuka Tsukamoto nodded and suggested: "Ichiho-jun, since that's the case, starting tomorrow, our army will concentrate artillery fire and troops, and first take down all the villages on the right side of Shentouling."

"It's just my wish," said Yihuo happily: "Everyone knows that annihilation of the enemy troops in front of me is of great significance. Therefore, I have a great appetite. No matter what the price I pay, I will eat them."

Then, Yihu Bingwei ordered Kitaro, the captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Third Division, and Shunmasaki, the captain of the 53rd Infantry Regiment of the 17th Division, to lead the officers and soldiers of the headquarters around the mountain road to rescue the 19th Regiment early the next morning.

Of course, the most important task of the two regiments is to try their best to cut off the rear and logistics supply of the Indonesian xenophobic army. If it cannot be done, try to cause trouble for the Indonesian xenophobic army.

Early the next morning, the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Third Division and the 53rd Infantry Regiment of the 17th Division, led by the regiment captains Shunmasaki Hashimoto and Kitaro, marched towards the Yamazu.

Other Japanese troops gathered together to attack the intended target.

Soon, Yihu Bingwei received a report that the Indonesian xenophobic army abandoned all the villages on the right side of Shentouling and entered the mountains behind the village.

Without any effort to attack, he took down these villages. A family of soldiers was not happy but worried because he knew that after entering the mountains and forests, they would cause great interference to the rapidly advancing Japanese army.

After considering it, Yihumanu dispatched another corps and ordered the three corps to be divided into multiple routes based on the brigade and under the guidance of the guide, striving to reach the place where the 19th corps were besieged in the shortest time.

In the next few days, most of the Japanese troops in front of Shentou Village stopped attacking and rested on the spot, waiting for the time of attack and pursuit to arrive.

Of course, in order to prevent the Indonesian xenophobic army from finding something wrong, they secretly escaped. Yihuwei also sent several troops from time to time to take turns to conduct tentative attacks on various positions of the Indonesian xenophobic army. What made him feel relieved was that the firepower on all the defensive positions of the Indonesian xenophobic army was still very powerful and impeccable.

However, starting from the mountain road behind each village and going to rescue the three corpses of the remnants of the 19th Regiment were constantly reported by Indonesian xenophobic troops, with great losses and extremely slow progress.

For this, Yihu was mentally prepared and ordered the brigades to overcome all difficulties and move forward bravely. Even if they sacrificed all their tasks, they would have to complete their tasks.
