Chapter 456 I would rather die than fight them with a bayonet
How could I not understand that since the northern line had failed, now it all depends on whether the southern line can still merge with the troops near Kaifeng. If it can, that would be great. If not, the headquarters will probably look for a new plan.
No matter what happens later, the initiative in the early stages must be in the hands of the empire.
"Don't worry, I understand what this means to us. I will come up with a plan as soon as possible so that even if they reach the front line, they will not pose any threat to us."
Snapped……
Chaoxiang Xiuling tapped the map on the table and said, "The threat to us is mainly concentrated in the 13th Division. As for the Hata Detachment on the right, although it is the size of a brigade, they have fought with us at the Madang Fortress before, so they are afraid of us and will be very cowardly in their attack. We don't need to worry."
The 74th Army currently has to deal with a brigade of the 13th Division and the Hata Detachment. This was a document issued by the military not long ago.
Tomorrow, the troops will enter the positions. If they fight well, the situation will be stabilized.
Takeshita Shun was sitting next to him. He took a sip of his teacup and said, "The two brigades of the 13th Division are quite powerful, especially the Yamaguchi Brigade that we are facing this time. They are the best among them. I have seen them before. They are very capable and good at hand-to-hand combat."
The words "hand-to-hand combat" made Zhou Weiguo's face turn green.
The biggest flaw of the independent regiment is hand-to-hand combat.
No, to be precise, the entire mountain city army was sloppy in this regard.
I can't do it directly.
The training they receive and our own training are completely different.
I can make up for the lack of hardware power, but I have always been inferior to others in software.
In the past, he always fought quickly and decisively, never dragging his feet, and when he encountered the enemy, he would kill them with heavy firepower.
"This is very difficult. Let's change people and deal with the Hata Detachment." Zhou Weiguo pointed at the map with frustration.
Nanzō Akiko stood beside Xiao Ya, thought for a moment and said, "Sister, the Hata detachment cannot be unprepared."
Xiao Ya pointed at the map bitterly: "In a hand-to-hand fight, we have no advantage."
"We need to play to our strengths, which are unmatched by them, and that's stabbing. In addition, we need to prevent them from launching sudden attacks, which is what they are best at."
After fighting the Sichuan Army Division position, we received news from the division headquarters that the enemy 74 had exchanged positions with the Gui Army at noon today.
While Yamaguchi ordered his troops to continue advancing, he called a meeting with several of his regiment commanders to make arrangements for the next enemy attack.
The brigade chief of staff, Kamii, nodded and told everyone that they had no objection. Then he stood up and walked to the map.
"Use one regiment to attack their 58th Division and tie them down. Use the other two regiments, one to be in front of the enemy independent regiment, and the other to be on its flank. Once you attack one of them, the other regiment should not provide support but quickly attack their positions. This will destroy their ability to move at high speeds."
The 14th Division's front-to-back defense method has proven to be useless in practice. We must use a new method to deal with it.
After the 74th Army moved south, the above mentioned that they would fight with the 74th Army.
The division commander made it clear that several divisions had already been defeated by the 74th Army, and this attitude of killing all who stand in the way must be ended with the 13th Division.
As the front-line force, this important task fell on the Yamaguchi Brigade.
Seeing that everyone understood the combat intent, Yamaguchi tapped the map and said, "I would like to remind all participating units to wear gas masks. No, they should never be seconded to the independent regiment. They have poison gas bombs in their hands. Also, no one is allowed to use poison gas bombs. Do you understand?"
"Hi." Several squadron leaders stood straight, bowed 90 degrees, then turned around and left to prepare.
"Old Zhou, we are in big trouble." Fang Shengli pouted and handed the telescope to Zhou Weiguo: "Our opponent is very powerful."
Takeshita Shun leaned against the door of the bunker and glanced at Fang Shengli without saying anything, but his eyes revealed one meaning.
I have said it before, this brigade is not ordinary.
The two regiments were 200 meters apart, but they were attached to the independent regiment's position. It seemed that they were going to attack in two parts, which would disperse our deployment and also make our attacking force insufficient.
Zhou Weiguo clicked his tongue several times and came to the map to look at the situation map.
The Hata Detachment dealt with the 51st Division and the 59th Army, and the Yamaguchi Brigade dealt with the 58th Division and its own independent regiment.
"The attack failed. As soon as we attacked, another part of them either supported or assaulted our regiment's position. This broke the concentration of my forces."
Chao Xiang Xiuling put her hands on the edge of the table: "That's not all. Just now, my elder sister, Kuroki and the others checked and found that our front-line troops are all wearing gas masks. If we attack, we may not gain any benefits."
"If there is no benefit, then I won't attack. I'll see what he can do to me."
Minamizō Akiko pointed at the map and said, "Our regiment's firepower is insufficient for offense but sufficient for defense. As long as we don't break through on the left and right sides, the initiative is in our hands."
If they can, they attack.
"Baka Baka." After observing the enemy's defense, Yamaguchi returned to the command center and started cursing at the two brigade commanders who participated in this battle.
Shangjing next to him also sighed repeatedly.
He had calculated everything, but he had not anticipated that the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment far exceeded his expectations.
Not to mention their front line, there are mortar positions and anti-aircraft machine gun positions behind them.
The machine gun positions were scattered.
In the past, he would not be worried, but now, he felt a little guilty.
The independent regiment, these people, they don’t do anything.
They actually use anti-aircraft machine guns, which are anti-aircraft weapons, at people.
Is this something a human would do?
Anyway, the imperial army can't do it.
I thought about attacking the other side and made arrangements, but I forgot to attack myself.
If we attack based on the deployment of the other side, we will suffer heavy losses.
"I think we will definitely find a way to deal with it." Shang Jing saw that no one was talking, so he started to cheer them up.
However, he really had no idea what to do next.
"Let's pool our wisdom. There are so many of us, so let's all sit down and discuss this." Yamaguchi took a deep breath to calm himself, then raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down and discuss.
A few people talked to the map for a while and found that things were not that easy.
The one with defects was the 58th Division, but the 58th Army Headquarters was in charge of the 74th Division.
"According to the facts, we are the attacking party. Now have we got it wrong?" Yamaguchi spread out his hands. He was asking and confirming at the same time.
Several people were silent. After all, this was what they did during the discussion yesterday.
"We have to be quick. The independent regiment reacts very quickly. If time is dragged out, it will not be good for us." Yamaguchi didn't want to say anything else, so he directly raised another question.
Several people hesitated to speak. They wanted to say something, but after thinking carefully, they couldn't say anything.
While several people were silent, the director of the Telecommunications Department came to the map with a telegram and handed it to him, saying, "Report, an urgent telegram from the division headquarters."
