"Li Jun, you can reorganize military affairs now. The specific combat plan of your Fengtian Independent Brigade will be formulated by you. The division headquarters will not interfere. If tactical guidance is needed, I will send an army captain at the level of squadron leader.
Xiyi waved his hand and dismissed Li Shoushan.
A major general and brigade commander actually wanted a Japanese captain to provide tactical guidance? Feeling a little humiliated, Li Shoushan could only bow his head in response. He lowered his head and bowed slightly to Xi Yiyi as a farewell, then turned and left.
Xiyi watched the Chinese who belonged to his own camp leave, hiding the contempt in his eyes very well. Now he dislikes the Chinese very much. Not only does he dislike it, he even hates the Chinese who cooperate with him in fighting.
.
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, the combat effectiveness of Li Shoushan's troops is comparable to that of our 11th Brigade. I request that this combat mission be entrusted to our 11th Brigade. Our 11th Brigade's Imperial Warriors will live up to the trust of Your Excellency, the Division Commander."
." Major General Matsuda Kunisan, the commander of the 11th Brigade, who had been standing aside without speaking, suddenly spoke up and invited Li Shoushan to fight after Li Shoushan walked out of the headquarters.
"Haha, Matsuda-kun, please be patient. The Chinese's fighting power is very weak, but they have thousands of people. It's okay to consume the ammunition of the Chinese on the other side. Besides, can you guys watch it with me tomorrow?
What's wrong with a good show of Chinese people beating Chinese people?" Xi Yiyi said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, let's wait and see the show tomorrow." The Japanese officers present laughed cooperatively.
If you ask the Japanese generals here to tell you who they hate the most right now, each of them can quickly name a few Chinese people: Liu Lang, Qi Guangyuan, Dong Shengtang, Zhou Shiyu...
Without the "mole"'s secret report, the Chinese newspapers have almost blown away the key figures of the Chinese defenders. Their achievements that can be used to brag are made with Japanese blood.
However, so far, the division has suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Obviously, with such a huge number of casualties, it is not enough to just hate a few people. They have already hated all Chinese, including their own friendly forces.
This is the mentality of all the Japanese troops in the Eighth Division now. Seeing the Chinese beating the Chinese undoubtedly makes them happy.
"However, when the Fengtian Independent Brigade is almost done fighting, we have to ask Matsuda-kun for the next step. Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe will fully cooperate with you to break through the Chinese defense line. If you gain a foothold here, it won't take long for the Chinese to fully defeat them.
Collapse." Xi Yiyi's smile faded, he sharply clicked somewhere on the map and said seriously.
"Hai." Matsuda Kunisan responded solemnly.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, all the imperial warriors of our 16th Brigade are also determined to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Please, Your Excellency, Division Commander, hand over the main attack mission to our army tomorrow. Please." The Commander of the 16th Brigade remained silent.
Nagakawahara Kan also jumped out at this moment.
Nishiyi frowned and glanced at his immediate subordinates, feeling really disgusted. Previously, Suzuki Mitsuchi of the 4th Brigade had already slapped his immediate superior on the left cheek, although it was done by the commander.
Kanmutou Nobuyoshi's overstepping of command and Suzuki Mitsuichi's own stupidity were not directly related to him, but the 16th Brigade was beaten up by a small company of no more than 200 people under his eyes.
The casualty figure of a brigade and a half was another slap on his right face.
The battle loss of 7 to 1 has simply become a record on the military information table of the army base camp. Excluding the dead idiot Suzuki Mitsuchi, this is the highest battle loss ratio of the Imperial Army in the past fifty years. I don’t know if it will be the same in the future.
There are even more unlucky people to help. The most annoying thing is that his name Nishi Yiichi will always be accompanied by this shameful record.
And all of this was caused by the idiot in front of him. If he hadn't been too eager for success and used two squadrons to launch the final attack, how could more than 300 imperial warriors be killed in the crazy Chinese shelling?
Thinking of this, Nishi Yiichi became extremely wary of Liu Lang, the commander of the independent regiment. He was undoubtedly a hard-hearted man. The 16th Brigade attacked wildly for a day. The Chinese troops on the mountain suffered heavy losses, but the Chinese defenders with artillery
The Chinese army did not fire a single artillery piece to support them. They waited until the end, when the Chinese defenders were almost all out. When the imperial army was celebrating victory and relaxed, they fired the artillery.
However, it didn’t matter that this artillery fire directly killed 400 imperial soldiers. From the infantry occupying the hilltop to the machine gun shooters and grenadier soldiers supporting the rear, the entire organization of the two squadrons, including their major captain, all became Chinese
Human burial.
He used the lives of his 200 soldiers in exchange for the military merit of killing a thousand enemies. This Chinese commander is really ruthless, and the colder the enemy is, the more cunning he is like a fox. This is what Nishi Yiichi has seen through the battlefield in the past two days.
Evaluation of Liu Lang.
But no matter what, Liu Lang is an extremely excellent battlefield commander. If it were Xi Yiyi who had the choice, he would do so without hesitation. If there was a chance, Xi Yiyi would even want to fight with him.
The hated enemy exchanged cups and cups, and then chopped off his head with his own command knife.
But with this idiot in front of him, Nishi Yiichi had no intention of talking to him. Just because he was an imperial general after all, Nishi Yiichi could only nod his head and try to say in a calm tone: "Nagawa-kun, tomorrow
Your combat mission is equally important. You will command two brigades of the 16th Brigade and one brigade of the 11th Brigade to attack the Luo Wenyu Pass and the three Chinese positions in Qianzhangzi and Shanzhaoyu. However, Nagakawa-kun,
You have to note that your mission is not to attack in general, but to contain the enemy and not allow them to allocate their forces to support another position, especially their artillery."
"Hai, Nagakawahara Kan, who holds such a humble position, will definitely live up to the high expectations of the division commander." Nagakawahara Kan bowed his head heavily.
He also knows that this is one of the few opportunities he has. The division commander is already extremely dissatisfied with his command yesterday. If he does not fight tomorrow's battle well, he will be extremely difficult to get along with in the division in the future, no matter how big or small he is.
A major general.
"Tanibe-kun, the Chinese like to attack at night. I have carefully studied the battles fought by Liu Lang, the commander of the enemy's independent regiment, and found that he particularly likes to win by surprise. This is very suitable for his position. The vigilance of various units at night must not be
Relax, especially those of the Heavy Artillery Battalion and the Eighth Artillery Regiment." Nishi Giichi turned his attention to the division chief of staff, Terube Tanibe.
"Please rest assured, Division Commander, I have already made arrangements for night guarding, especially for the two artillery units. I have already arranged for two infantry brigades to be stationed. If the Chinese don't come, that's fine. But once they come, they won't be able to leave."
The second-ranking figure in the Eighth Division, Terube Tanibe's tone was obviously much more relaxed.
"It is Nishi Giichi's blessing to have Tanibe-kun as his assistant." Listening to Tanibe Terube's words, Nishi Giichi's expression softened, and then he glanced at the other generals with stern eyes, "Then tomorrow
I will rely on you in the battle. The empire will be victorious. I wish you a prosperous military fortune." Xiyi nodded heavily.
"The empire will be victorious." The Japanese generals stood together and shouted in a low voice.
The Japanese army here is arranging tasks and expressing their determination.
The Chinese military is not idle either.
The engineers and soldiers were busy in the position and in front of the position like hard-working worker ants, and the phone between the two regiment-level headquarters also rang from time to time.
