Chapter 105 Is there a new plan?
"Your Excellency the Regiment Captain, we will force the Chinese to hide in the building with shelling, and our army will wait for the moment?" The Japanese Zhongshu asked tentatively.
"My Japanese Empire's materials are precious, how can I consume them in vain?" Fukuchijiro glanced at his corps deputy and replied calmly.
"Your Excellency the Corps Captain, what do you mean?" The Japanese Nakasa heard something in his superior's words keenly, and continued to ask with a clue.
This is the unspoken rule in the officialdom. Although the boss only said the beginning, it does not mean that being a subordinate can help him analyze his intentions clearly.
As a subordinate, you can have strong execution ability, but you must not be too smart. Yang Xiu is the lesson of the past.
Based on this alone, this deputy general manager of the wing, who basically has a very low sense of logistics presence, is a very wise deputy captain, leaving all the opportunities to show his abilities to his boss.
It is very wise to solve the doubts of the "confused" subordinates, and this is the time to have the most presence for the superiors.
It's like when the boss is on the rostrum during a meeting, the boss is opening and closing on the rostrum, and a group of subordinates hold small notebooks. Whether they can understand or not, they have to write a few strokes, and they have to make a sudden enlightened expression on their faces. Isn't it the same truth?
Actually, most of them were almost the same as the Japanese Nakasa at this time: You can just want to mess around, but please hurry up!
"Makino, have you read the Chinese morning newspaper?" Fukuchijiro asked expressionlessly.
"The Chinese claim that there are more than 800 defenders in the building and nearly six infantry companies." Toshi Makino nodded quickly. "But I doubt that this is the data deliberately released by the Chinese. Perhaps, there will be more troops inside. The commander of this Chinese unit is extremely cunning."
"Yes, our army cannot base the accuracy of intelligence on the opponent's self-exposed, so-called "subjective array" is nothing more than this.
According to the many heavy firepower points exposed by the Chinese yesterday, they had at least stockpiled the strength of an infantry regiment in the building." Fukuchijiro nodded slightly, very satisfied with his subordinates' 'wisdom'.
At this time, whoever jumped out and said that there were only 800 Chinese people, the Japanese colonel could be anxious to tell him. What did you say? What did you say! 800 people? 800 people could beat a fully organized infantry corps of the Imperial Japanese Army to the ground for teeth? You are a humiliation to the Imperial Army.
It must be an infantry regiment, and it must be either.
Not to mention that the 36th Infantry Regiment must unify its thinking, even the division headquarters must recognize it for the face of the Imperial Army.
"Myamano, do you know that our army has been bombarding for more than 2 hours. How many shells have our four mountain cannons and six infantry cannons fired?"
"More than 300 mountain cannons have been fired, and more than 500 infantry cannons!" Makino Shun, the deputy captain, did his homework very solidly and reported the approximate data without hesitation.
"What about the opponent?"
"The Chinese fired against us for nearly half an hour. Although it was not as powerful as our army, the mortars fired at least fifty shells, and the machine guns would never be less than a hundred." The Japanese Nakazuo thought for a moment and gave a rough value.
"In half an hour, they had a total of four mortars and fired about fifty shells, with an average of about twelve rounds per cannon, which means one shot will take three or four minutes." After calculating the data, Jiro Hashidai turned around and asked.
"Makino, what do you think is the biggest key to my Imperial Army winning this war?"
Shin Makino may not have expected that his boss could go so far, and he turned to the key point of the entire battle. After careful consideration, he answered: "The Imperial Army is well-trained, and after experiencing hard battles, only the Imperial Eagle soars in the sky in China..."
"Mikino, with your talent and knowledge, you shouldn't just use some clichés to fool me." Weichiro was obviously not satisfied with the deputy's smooth answer, and shook his head and sighed slightly. "Actually, in my opinion, the victory of this battle is not because our army is too strong, but because of the Chinese themselves!"
His eyes turned back to the distance and continued to say to himself: "Our army fought with the Chinese people more than ten times in this battle, and he already knew its combat characteristics.
It is true that their troops are nearly three times that of the empire, but excluding a few elites, most of them are extremely poor in equipment and their technical and tactical level are also unsatisfactory. The only thing worthy of praise is that their fighting will is much stronger than you and I imagine, which can make up for their lack of combat experience to a certain extent.
But this is not the main reason for its failure.
Because there is one thing that cannot be compensated by the fighting will, and logistics support.
Including those elite troops, they have German-style weapons that our army envied, but their poor logistics support is almost ridiculous.
With heart-shaking heavy artillery, the shelling will stop immediately after a certain period of time, not because they do not want to shell, but because their logistics supply is unsustainable.
Especially after the empire completely obtained air supremacy, their poor logistics became even worse. They could only use evening transportation, but that little transportation volume was just a drop in the bucket.
An army with guns and cannons but no bullets, tell me, how can we win the war?"
"Your Excellency the United Captain, you mean..." Makino Shun's eyes lit up in cooperation.
That means: Big Boss, will you come up with a plan? I’m waiting for your wisdom to illuminate me.
"So, based on my experience with the Chinese army and the counterattack of the Chinese just now, I can conclude that even if the Chinese have done their best to reserve the ammunition, there will not be much sufficient.
Based on the strength of a Chinese infantry regiment, it may be their limit to having 800 shells." Fukuchijiro narrowed his eyes and said with confidence.
"Your Captain of the United Kingdom is really nothing to be found!" The Japanese army's Zuo suddenly realized it and raised doubts that his boss could explain clearly:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But, based on the performance of the Chinese commander in the past or two days, why are they so stupid to fight with our army to consume? Even if it is only half an hour."
"So, Makino, you don't know Chinese enough." Fukichiro sighed slightly, but his eyes were filled with a faint color.
"Yesterday we shelled the warehouse building. They kept fighting and not carrying out a counterattack. Only the infantry dispatched them to fire. That was the most normal tactical behavior.
The shelling of the national flag they raised this morning was the shelling of, but it was difficult for them to be beaten passively like yesterday. Why?
Because that, just like our wing flag, Makino, would you be willing to protect it with your own life?"
"Hi! I understand what the captain of the regiment means." Makino Toshi lowered his head heavily.
"That is their spiritual totem. I would rather consume precious ammunition than guard the death. It is terrible for Chinese people to have such enlightenment."
"Scary? It seems that it's terrible." A trace of hideousness flashed across Hitochijiro's face.
"But this is the battle of the rise of my Yamato nation. No matter how tenacious the enemy is, no matter how tenacious the resistance is, they will wail under the iron hooves of the empire. They are destined to fail."
"Hi! Please tell me the team leader to instruct the next battle."
"So, I asked the artillery squadron to continuously launch fire, firstly to cover up the civil engineering operations of the engineers with the help of the huge sounds produced by the shelling and smoke; secondly, to provide fire cover for the infantry who have finished resting.
For another hour of shelling, the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 3rd Infantry Battalion each sent an infantry squadron to attack the building with the division headquarters.
There is no trick to deal with such an opponent, and you can only crush him from the front with absolute strength!" A trace of decisiveness appeared on Fukuchijiro's face and ordered.
Chapter completed!
