Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 661

Chapter 661 The battlefield is not a chessboard

A group of Chinese soldiers walked down the mountain amid Lang Lang's laughter.

It was as if the heavy discussion of life and death that had just made the air stagnant had never appeared.

And the Japanese military headquarters is also engaged in a chaotic dance of demons.

A group of Japanese generals and junior officers with dark circles under their eyes offered their advice and suggestions amidst the harassing gunshots that sounded from time to time.

The powerful leader sends a small force into the mountains to find and fight the Chinese army to contain it, while the main force quickly passes through the mountain roads and reaches the plains;

Some people could not bear this humiliation and suggested that the troops should be divided into multiple groups to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress the Chinese army;

There are also those who place their hopes on naval reconnaissance aircraft to help find traces of the Chinese army, and then the army will be dispatched to encircle and suppress them;

There are even cruel ones who suggest that the army enter the mountains to capture Chinese people as shields. Of course, they are not capturing Chinese soldiers, but Chinese mountain people, and tie them to the side of the army. If the Chinese dare to use artillery, they will be killed. One of our own people will be blown up; or, as long as the Chinese dare to make a sneak attack, some civilians will be shot.

The person who made this suggestion was none other than the great traitor Li Shoushan.

Don't tell me, as soon as this cruel suggestion was put forward, even the Japanese generals couldn't help but take a second look at the "Chinese" who had surrendered to the empire.

How shameless is this guy? Can you even come up with such a sinister idea?

But who is the Kunisaki Detachment? It is one of the strongest divisions in the empire. Even if it is disgraced outside Guangde City, it is just a small setback. The pride of the strongest infantry division in the empire is still there.

Li Shoushan's suggestion, which may have been effective but tarnished the honor of the warriors, was ultimately rejected.

To put it bluntly, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that Kunizaki, who is not at the end of his rope yet, can't afford to lose that person.

Finally, Kunizaki made a tactical plan for the next few days based on the opinions of all parties and his own preliminary ideas.

It is impossible to walk.

Since entering China, Kunizaki, who has been advancing almost all the way, has never suffered such a big loss on the Chinese battlefield. .

with the loss of an infantry brigade alone, including a dozen artillery pieces. In comparison, the loss of troops outside Songjiang City was child's play compared to this.

He marched in a long snake formation. In fact, just as Tang Dao had guessed, he was not simply passively being beaten, but had been patiently looking for opportunities to annihilate the Chinese army that had greatly embarrassed him.

It's just that the Chinese are much more patient than he thought. They only send small groups of troops to harass the distant mountains, giving him no chance to fight a decisive battle.

What's even more terrible is that if he continues to act according to the original plan, the Kunozaki detachment will be harassed by the Chinese and become a panda detachment.

Sleep is difficult to guarantee, physical fitness has deteriorated, and combat effectiveness has naturally been seriously compromised. Even if the Chinese really want to open up a battle, the damage will probably be much greater than he expected.

That can only change the tactics, from being unchanged and adapting to the situation to taking the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

Therefore, Kunizaki's tactical thinking is not to move forward anymore, and the entire army should turn from passive to active and march into the mountains.

The whole army is still divided into three parts.

Of course, this time it is no longer a long snake formation, but a parallel "Chuan" character, from the front, middle and back three parts to the left, middle and right parts.

Of the five remaining infantry brigades in the army, two infantry brigades were led by him personally, carrying a mountain artillery squadron, six infantry artillery squadrons, and a cavalry squadron, and entered the Shishupu area on the left wing to look for the Chinese army.

On the middle road, Colonel Nobu Oda led an infantry brigade, the remnants of the first brigade of the Jing'an Army, two mountain artillery squadrons, a baggage train, an engineering brigade, and an armored squadron continued to move forward slowly along the simple road.

On the right, Colonel Takeuchi Unzan led two infantry brigades, a mountain artillery squadron, four infantry artillery squads, an engineer squad and two Type 94 armored vehicles into the Yao Village area in the right-wing mountainous area to search for Chinese troops.

No matter who on the left or right finds the Chinese army, they will launch an attack first to hold back the Chinese army, and wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching the final attack.

At the same time, the decided tactical plan was sent to the Tenth Army Headquarters and requested naval air support, including reconnaissance aircraft and bombers. After annihilating the enemy forces in the mountains, the entire army quickly passed through the Wannan mountainous area and attacked Wuhu, completely completing Yanagawa Heisuke's attack. The strategic concept of encircling Jinling from the front and back. Yanagawa Heisuke, who was up late at night, quickly sent a call back and agreed with Kunisaki's tactical idea.

For Yanagawa Heisuke, who has arrived 60 kilometers outside Jinling, his strategy of going south to capture the Chinese capital has been largely realized. Now there is a lack of the 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment that have detoured from Taihu to outflank Jinling.

When they arrive and conquer Wuhu on the edge of the Yangtze River, they will complete the last closed loop of the encirclement. Jinling, an ancient Chinese city, will become an isolated city completely, and its capture is only a matter of time.

Conquer the capital of a country! He may be the first general in Japanese history to hold his head high and enter the capital of a country that their ancestors once coveted but were intimidated by. The door of his dream is about to open to him.

Yanagawa Heisuke naturally would not want any accidents to happen to the westward marching army, even if it means delaying the march.

So, he not only agreed to Guozaki's request, but also personally contacted the Third Fleet, which was still stationed on the Songhu coast, to request air support.

The contradiction between the navy and the army still exists, but at this time and at the same time, the army not only won the Songhu Battle, but also fought for hundreds of miles, pointing directly at the heart of China, and it was in full swing.

Moreover, the commander of the East China Expeditionary Force at this time was no longer the idiot Matsui Iwane who was only influential in the army, but an imperial prince who had sufficient influence in the imperial political arena.

The traumatized admiral commander of the Third Fleet had no choice but to use all his strength to help the Army Mali. He verbally promised to send three reconnaissance sorties into the mountainous areas during the day for reconnaissance. If there was a war, he would send a squadron of fighter jets to attack the enemy. bombing.

The Kunisaki detachment can be said to have put out a lot of effort at this time, waiting for daytime to come and have a good fight with the Chinese army.

As everyone knows, the Chinese think the same way.

It's just that the battlefield is not a chessboard.

An accident changed the trend of the entire battlefield.

Originally, according to Tang Dao's plan, the appearance of Japanese reconnaissance planes during the day was the most necessary part of the plan.

Only in that way can the Army Major General's Department, which has a large number of pack horses, be accidentally seen by the Japanese reconnaissance plane. The size of the army of hundreds of people cannot be said to be too large, but if a large number of pack horses are added, it will definitely become the most beautiful piece of fat.

The first part of the Kunisaki detachment will inevitably be attracted into the mountains for encirclement and suppression, and then the hundreds of people who are forced to "escape" all the way towards the selected hills can not only hold back the main force of the Japanese army, but also use the mountains to resist the main force of the Japanese army. attack.

When another Japanese army wanted to go around and encircle them, they would have to pass through the valley of the "Golden Pit" and finish off this Japanese army in the shortest possible time. The main force of the Japanese army who received the news had no choice but to give up the tough nut in front of them in order to protect themselves. Retreat temporarily, and the danger of the Army Major General will be resolved.

Even if they are determined to capture the mountain, Tang Dao will have enough time to return after taking out the Japanese army. At worst, they will have a head-on confrontation with the Japanese through combined attacks from inside and outside.

Look at how tough the Kunizaki detachment is.

For this reason, Tang Dao even calculated that the Japanese troops who entered the mountains to search would definitely look for Chinese villages first, forcing local villagers to serve as their guides or order them to tell them about the movements of the Chinese troops.

Of course, when soldiers were operating in mountainous areas, they could not avoid the eyes of the villagers. Tang Dao, who was familiar with the Japanese's peeing habits, sent many infantry squads to the villages he could see during the day to spread the word, asking them to hide further away. In the mountains.

In this way, the position of the army was not exposed and the villagers were prevented from being harmed by the angry Japanese army.

I heard that the Japanese were coming and this place was about to become a battlefield. The simple mountain people drove their poultry and livestock and carried their valuables on their backs to escape, according to what the soldiers said.

　After fighting the war and returning home, life is more important than anything else. Although the mountain people have not read much, they still understand this simplest truth.

But there will always be a sparse part in a hundred secrets!
