After experiencing the disastrous defeat in the afternoon, Prince Akutagawa did not allow anyone to continue the attack. It was really irrational to attack others without understanding the situation. At the same time, the division commander who took the lead in launching the attack was also punished.
"Generals, I hope you can be sensible now. I also know that the enemy has occupied our military port, which is a great insult to us soldiers, but I also ask you to see clearly that the enemy now has an absolute advantage.
, if we don’t have a good way, we will have no way to rush in, and we can only increase casualties."
After executing a lieutenant general division commander, Prince Akutagawa gained his own majesty. Of course, many people present still didn't think highly of him. If you don't have the status of a prince, how can you obtain the command right here?
?
Others also know that what His Royal Highness the Prince said is correct, but they have analyzed the terrain here several times, and we have no other choice but to charge hard.
"Your Highness, the advantage of our 20th Division is night fighting. It will be dark soon. With the cover of the sky, we are absolutely confident to break into the enemy's position. Please approve us to fight at ten o'clock tonight.
Have a night battle."
Lieutenant General Gu Fu, the commander of the 20th Division, is a round man with a height of 1.6 meters. This guy's words make others feel uncomfortable.
Do you, the 20th Division, have more eyes than us, or do you have an extra nose?
We have never heard that your advantage is night fighting. We all receive the same training. Who doesn't know that the cover of night is a good opportunity? You are obviously trying to take advantage.
"The enemy has high-power searchlights, and as far as I know, they also have enough flares. Night battles may be very effective for ordinary enemies, but for the suppressing troops in front of us, I don't think it will have the desired effect.
, our 19th Division grew up by the sea, we can swim across it..."
As soon as Lieutenant General Okamoto, the commander of the 19th Division, opened his mouth, the rest knew they were having fun.
The navy and army of Dongdi are indeed incompatible, but there are also various conflicts between the army, such as the 19th Division and the 20th Division. These two divisions are stationed in the same place at the same time.
Conflicts are inevitable in normal times.
Even during a war, it was difficult for both sides to share the same hatred. Now the 20th Division wanted to take advantage of the darkness to attack, so the 19th Division made a swim.
In the eyes of other division commanders, we don’t even understand the opponent’s firepower equipment, especially the number of warships in the bay and the output capabilities of their artillery. These are very critical figures. Without understanding these figures
Before, we tried our best to stay put instead of hastily attacking.
Of course, they also know that they cannot say this. At present, the entire Dongdi Kingdom is almost going crazy. According to the reliable information they received, a huge demonstration was held in the capital this afternoon, which brought huge pressure to the entire government, so the emperor
Three imperial edicts have been issued, and results must be achieved today and tomorrow.
Fortunately, the order from the base camp was not to seize the military port. If such an order had been given, we might as well not have to attack and just line up and commit seppuku.
But there are only forty-eight hours between today and tomorrow. There are less than six hours left today, which means we have thirty hours to produce results. This is a bit overwhelming. I don’t know what we will lose this afternoon.
Does three thousand people count as a victory?
Swimming?
Prince Akutagawa heard these two words.
"Tell me about your combat strategy."
Although the 20th Division has added elements of night fighting, Prince Akutagawa knows very well that it is nothing more than fighting with your life at night, and there is nothing new. Maybe your conditions are better at night, but the chance of rushing through is slim.
Swimming is different...
This is to find a place nearby to enter the water, and then let the soldiers swim across. This may be even more difficult for soldiers in inland areas, but for those who grew up by the sea, it is still feasible.
of.
"Your Highness, please see, we have conducted a survey of the surrounding area. This is the maximum bombardment range of their warships. We will go to sea here. Of course, due to poor visibility at night, they do not have enough in this area.
For reconnaissance warships, we can completely sail to the outskirts of the military port in small boats. At that time, all the soldiers will abandon the small boats and carry out a three-hundred-meter armed swim..."
On the way here, Lieutenant General Okamoto had already done some research on the battle situation here. If he rushed up like other armies, it was basically impossible to win, even if he won at night.
The chances were slim, so they made a plan to swim across the river in arms.
The other division commanders didn't really believe it at first, because they felt that the distance for armed swimming was too far. If they used small boats to help, it would be another matter. Now their
I have more than two hundred boats on hand.
According to what Lieutenant General Okamoto said just now, they will use more than 200 small boats to carry more than 2,000 people there. The number of people cannot be too many. If there are too many, I am afraid it will attract the attention of the other party's navy at that time.
If we charge over, the more than two thousand of us in the sea will have to be shot.
Only more than 2,000 people?
The expression on Prince Akutagawa's face is not very good. If there are only more than 2,000 people, even if they all come ashore, there will be no way to cause too many casualties to the other party. You will still be annihilated by then. What do you do?
Such efforts are in vain and have no effect at all.
"Adjust the attack time to one o'clock in the morning. In the extra three hours, all the troops will collect more small boats nearby."
By saying this, Prince Akutagawa agreed to the 19th Division's armed swimming plan. Of course, he was not very satisfied with the number of people. After all, only a few thousand people passed, which was not enough to fill the enemy's teeth. All the information on the Battle of Haicheng was transported
Now that they are back, everyone naturally knows the combat effectiveness of the Suppression Army. Of course, they don't know that they are training an enhanced version of the Marine Corps in front of them.
"Don't let your 20th Division sit idle. Take out two infantry regiments and prepare for a desperate charge to attract the attention of the suppressing troops on the position. When the time comes, we will take a two-pronged approach..."
Prince Akutagawa is planning to buy double insurance.
