After hearing Yoshimoto Seiichi's words, Umezu Yoshijiro nodded in agreement. Indeed, they were not defeated, but they did fail. Therefore, there are still some problems with the morale of the Kwantung Army.
The morale of an army is extremely important.
Since the independent division wants to use them for training, it must be prepared to be counterattacked.
"Then, order Yamashita-kun to make arrangements!"
"Hi!"
"As for the supplies, Yoshimoto-kun, please arrange for them to be transported to the front line as soon as possible!"
"Hi!"
"Tell Yamashita-kun that this time, I want to hear news of victory! If victory is not possible, then his frontline commander can be replaced!"
"Hi!"
After dormant all winter, Umezu Yoshijiro's ambition was awakened again by Yoshimoto Seiichi.
Independent division, he is never afraid.
However, before he had a complete strategy, he rarely took risks, because their empire could no longer withstand too many failures. During this period, Xinjing was not stable.
For this reason, he could only move the expats to one area and provide centralized protection.
He knew that people from the Independent Division had already sneaked in in Xinjing, otherwise, the Independent Division would not have succeeded repeatedly. However, he checked for a long time and could not find out the reason.
He knew that this must be because some people had colluded with the independent division.
Therefore, secretly, he also increased the number of soldiers guarding Xinjing.
Not the police.
But the Kwantung Army.
It's hard to say that Xinjing will also have to fight a bloody battle by then.
…
The Japanese Lieutenant General looked at the telegram in his hand and said, "Headquarters orders to take this opportunity to carry out a local counterattack! Your Excellency, Commander, I want to hear the news of the victory of the warriors!"
The eyes of everyone in the field were uncertain.
Last year, they played against the independent division.
Everyone has losses.
But they lost.
This year, after a winter of training, they also want to prove that they are no worse than the independent division! Their Kwantung Army is still the most elite army flower of the Japanese army! It is still the pride of the empire!
"Let's talk about how to attack! Come up with a plan as soon as possible! In addition, order x County to defend the county seat! First, defend in an all-round way! Gonghe-kun, on your side, go to a regiment first for support!" Japanese Army
The lieutenant general said, "Before tonight, we will have an attack plan! At that time, we will cooperate with the attack!"
"Hi!" A major general nodded, then walked out of the office and began to arrange orders.
…
"Boom!" The artillery shells hit the city wall of the county town, making a huge explosion and taking away the lives of several defenders.
The city wall was also missing a hole because of this.
An independent division soldier lay on the ground, aimed at the target ahead, and then pulled the trigger. The instructor said that war is killing!
These people are soldiers!
Soldiers should have the blood of foreigners on their hands!
If not, then they are not worthy of being called soldiers!
He agreed very much with this statement!
He joined the Independent Division just to kill the Japanese!
Although, he has only been training for three months!
But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have the courage to go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese!
They train hard! They sweat! They surpass themselves time and time again! Finally, they have a place to use!
"Bang!" The bullet was fired, and his shoulders moved imperceptibly. A Japanese soldier fell down on the city wall, and the firepower at that location disappeared.
Then, he quickly rolled to the left.
The instructor said that no matter what time, fixed-point output is the most taboo!
After one shot, I immediately had to change places.
Sure enough, he soon saw mud splashing to his right.
Exhaling a breath, sure enough, the instructor was right! The Japs are never jealous!
Especially, in front of them is the Kwantung Army, which has the title of Flower of the Army!
…
"Captain, the Chinese firepower is too fierce! Warriors, you can't resist it!" A squadron leader ran to the Japanese major and squatted down.
"Baga, if you can't stop it, you have to stop it! Where is the Imperial Alliance Army? Pull them up to defend the city!"
"Hi!"
Soon, a group of imperial soldiers were pulled up to the city wall and picked up their guns.
They dared not come up because their wives and children were in the city.
If they don't come, the Japanese won't let them go.
He raised his gun and quickly started shooting at the soldiers of the Independent Division below.
…
Che Zhihuan looked at the offensive situation and knew that the Japs could not resist it. A large group of Japs could number up to a thousand people, plus several thousand puppet troops. Although they were on the defensive side, they could not resist his two regiments.
An attack of more than 6,000 people, not to mention that in terms of firepower, they have some advantages over the Kwantung Army.
I still felt a little relieved, at least the soldiers performed pretty well.
But, will it be as he expected?
…
"Captain! Commander! The Japanese are here! Coming from the north! There's still six miles to go!" A soldier ran over and said, "Looking at the number of people, it's about a regiment! We have chariots, horses and artillery!"
"Okay, let brothers get ready!"
"yes!"
"No one is allowed to shoot and reveal my position before I shoot!"
"yes!"
…
"Da da da!"
On a Japanese military vehicle, two machine guns fired in both directions.
"Hit!" came a voice, and a machine gun instantly misfired.
Then, densely packed grenades fell from the sky!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese troops below also stopped because of this attack.
A Japanese colonel pulled out the gun from his waist. He also knew that there might be an ambush on this stretch of road, but he had to come after receiving the order, "Artillery, attack on both sides immediately!"
"Hi!"
"Mortar!"
"Hi!"
"Others, defend on the spot! Be sure to gain something!"
"Hi!"
Soon, the fighting began. The Japanese army responded quickly because they were well prepared. Artillery shells were quickly fired into the mountains and forests on both sides, and the mortars equipped by the Japanese team also roared out quickly.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
On the mountain, when the young regiment leader saw the Japanese's reaction, he knew that the Japanese had been prepared. However, even if they were prepared, they still had an advantage in terms of terrain.
"Hit me!"
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
"boom!"
Smoke was everywhere, and the sound of gunfire was everywhere.
Because one winter, the trees on the mountain and the snow in some places had not yet melted away, so it was actually a bit hard for the soldiers of the Independent Division to ambush.
But at this time, relatively speaking, it has become active.
The whole person became nervous.
For this kind of commanding battle, grenades are one of the best weapons.
The soldiers of the independent division have a geographical advantage, and most of their subordinates are new recruits.
Although the Kwantung Army seems to be at a disadvantage, its men are veterans of many battles.
The gap in combat effectiveness can only be made up slowly.
…
Che Zhihuan picked up the binoculars, looked at the gunpowder smoke rising in the distance, and squinted his eyes. He knew that fighting had begun over there! Whether soldiers can be trained depends on this time!
