Chapter 517: Before winning, think about defeat first
The shouts of killing echoed in the valley. Rao Guohua, who was wearing a gas mask in the bunker, held a telescope in one hand and clenched his fist tightly with the other hand.
Pit No. 2 on the back slope behind him.
More than 20 exits were blown up by the Japanese.
The entrance of the cave was also buried by the soil trampled by the explosion. Duan Changrui and Li Yong were instructing the rescue, and the Japanese sulfur gas drifted in.
This made the tunnel, which was already a little air-smooth, worsen.
The Sichuan Army has a difficult life.
The commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, had a hard time.
He was in a dilemma.
Tani Suo is not convinced of evil. Even if the 13th Regiment is loyal to the Emperor, he will join the other two regiments, join Shigeto and Ueda Detachment to arrive at the scene.
Shigeji Momatsu reminded the commander several times.
Time, if this battle is fought for another two hours, the team entering the mountain will not be able to rush back to Changxing camp.
The largest artillery of the light infantry in Soushan is the squadron-scale infantry curved artillery, once it enters the night.
Lost aircraft cover.
There is no artillery to support the battle situation.
The firepower of the Imperial Army entering the mountains is not as good as that of the Sichuan Army.
In addition, the terrain is not familiar, fighting will be a nightmare for the Warriors.
But Yanagawa Heisuke was unwilling to accept it when he saw the other Japanese troops being invincible.
"Commander, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying, "Before you want to win, you will lose first." I think the Sichuan Army is very cunning, which has exceeded our expectations. If the 10th Army, as planned, divided troops in Changxing, will definitely suffer great losses, which is something that the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire cannot bear. The Sixth Division will most likely spend the night in the Badujiao Mountain tonight. They have no heavy artillery and no aircraft support. The cunning Sichuan Army will not miss such an opportunity!"
Before we could win, we were determined to lose first. After our Imperial Japanese Army entered China, we were invincible and invincible, and were forced to this point by the Sichuan Army.
I was also afraid of night fights with Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui.
Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't believe that Shigeji Sumatsu would say such things.
But he understood what Shigeji Sumatsu meant.
According to the original plan, the 114th Division was from Changxing Ring Road to Taihu Lake to Yixing. If the 114th Division was changed to go north alone, it would be possible to get the support of the entire army north. Once it arrived in Yixing, it would be easy to get the support of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.
And it is very likely that it has avoided the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army.
In this way, they can detour eastward and then follow the direction of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and turn westward. Wanba Novel Network
Arrived at the city of Nanjing.
This plan will definitely be opposed by Tanishou and Nakashima Atsugo, who believe it is a cowardly act of avoiding war.
Maybe he will be scolded by Matsui Ishione, the commander-in-chief of the Front Army.
"Your Excellency Commander, you misunderstood what I mean. What I said is that we must prepare, that is, starting tomorrow, we will concentrate our efforts to rush to build the road from Changxing to Yixing. Even if we suffer losses again, the 10th Army has room for choice!"
I understood, Yanagawa Heisuke understood what Shigeji Sumatsu meant. It was not about reporting a change of plan, nor was it time to decide where to go at a meeting.
Instead, prepare in advance.
If the situation worsens further, Yixing will be the life of the 10th Army.
Yanagawa Heisuke believes that Shigeji Sumatsu’s suggestion makes sense.
Immediately ordered the Ueda Detachment advancing along the northern highway to investigate and not enter Yadua.
I stationed on the spot and began to patrol this mountain road, transporting soil as much as possible, and backfilling some difficult roads to ensure that tomorrow the 114th Division and all engineer corps of the three divisions will build the road from Changxing to Yixing.
Follow the western front to Guangde, Chongteng Detachment, turn right into Badujiao.
He belongs to the commander of Gusufu Division and is in charge.
The 145th Division was still fighting for the thorns, and Yanagawa Heisuke's series of tricks made Zhou Xiaoshan feel a little confused.
What's going on?
Are they preparing to give up the Sixth Division, or let the Sixth Division and the Chongteng Detachment go to the decisive battle with the 23rd Army?
The 47th and 23rd regiments of the Sixth Division passed through the explosion zone and through the mine array.
Zhou Xiaoshan simply ordered the two divisions of 146.147 not to block them, let them go to the mountain road smoothly to join the 13th Regiment who was ambushed in the middle.
When the news reached these two divisions, the command center was filled with joy.
The reason is not because I won't fight anymore.
Because the 66th Army sent two battalion commanders to 146.147 divisions to guide the night patrol, they were both veterans of Zhou Xiaoshan's first phase of the special agent battalion, one of which was Li Shaoan, who was fighting against Japanese spies in Jinyang.
They patted their chests proudly and assured the two division commanders that Adjutant Zhou had always taken three steps in one step.
It would never be so difficult to destroy an infantry corps of the Japanese.
Zhou Xiaoshan's original purpose in assigning the mission was to stare at the four Japanese regiments entering the mountain.
Seize the time and lurk and rest.
Waiting for the Japanese plane to walk away, I followed these two regiments.
Zhou Xiaoshan himself did not expect that his awesome soldiers would brag about the bull so much that they portrayed him as Zhuge Liang in front of the two division commanders.
He just saw Shao Guohua fighting with the Japanese army desperately, and a flash of instinctively felt that if the fight started at night.
Without the Japanese planes, the Japanese left large-caliber artillery fire in Changxing.
This way, the chances of winning are greater.
Since the Japanese were moving, Zhou Xiaoshan also moved.
The main force of the 125th and 126th Brigades also received a telegram. The two brigade engineer battalions set off immediately and immediately inserted into the middle of the Chongteng Detachment approaching the 13th Regiment, burying landmines, and even burying blasting points at the road that must be passed by the mountain pass.
It's dark early in winter, and the Japanese plane will definitely leave at 5 pm. After the Japanese plane leaves, the main force of the two brigades will post it to the Chongteng Detachment.
Liu Xiang looked at Zhou Xiaoshan busy writing a telegram with joy.
The communications soldiers sent out orders one by one and handed them over to Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua. The two of them did not retreat this time and were discussing how to cooperate with the orders.
Pan Wenhua and Chen Wanren's 148th Division were together. After receiving Zhou Xiaoshan's order, they began to prepare for the entire army.
Fan Shaozeng also received a military order.
His four brigades, waiting for the plane to leave, set off immediately and moved closer to Rao Guohua.
Tani Suo could not contact the 13th Infantry Regiment, except for the team that retreated with the corps flag.
The Army Aviation Army had returned after losing a plane due to insufficient fuel and insufficient fuel. After the Navy Aviation Army rushed to the battlefield, the battlefield situation was reported.
The Sichuan Army and the Imperial Army are still fighting hand-to-hand combat.
It seemed as if the conclusion had been made, one of them was getting smaller and smaller, but both sides rolled in the burning smoke and dust like coal balls, fighting.
The only military flags on the battlefield were all broken and could not be identified at all.
Even the plane that dived down could not see clearly the enemy and us in the middle of the battlefield, and the Type 38 rifle was not much longer than the G98.
They could only carry out indiscriminate bombings on the uninhabited fortifications on the hillside.
Zhou Xiaoshan did not hide Feng Tiankui from the dispatch of the 23rd Army. He gave him these orders, except asking him to help him check for omissions, but just let him move from the camera.
The Japanese Nakajima Division is still in Wuxing.
Feng Tiankui can do whatever he wants to fight.
