Oluhara Junsi continued: "Judging from the current situation, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has built a complete fortification at the entrance of Shaqiaogang, which also includes three bunker fortifications. If you want to defeat such a strong bunker fortification, there is no way
It is absolutely impossible to have more than one regiment of troops."
"But the problem now is that due to the presence of the opponent's heavy artillery, the imperial army simply cannot complete the concentration of troops before the entrance of Shaqiao Gang, which creates an endless cycle."
“If you want to destroy the opponent’s heavy artillery position, you must first destroy the bunker fortifications at the entrance of Shaqiaogang. If you want to destroy the bunker fortifications at the entrance of Shaqiaogang, you must first complete the concentration of troops and firepower outside Shaqiaogang.
To complete the concentration of troops and firepower outside Shaqiao Gang, we must first destroy the opponent's heavy artillery positions hidden on the cliffs."
After listening to Ogawara Junsi's explanation, all the officers above the rank of colonel who participated in the meeting were dumbfounded.
Machijiri Ryouki said: "Looking at the current situation, it is indeed extremely difficult to attack from Shaqiaogang. But the question is, why does the imperial army have to attack from Shaqiaogang, and why can't it attack from other directions? As far as I know,
You know, Shaqiaogang is not the only entrance to Damei Mountain from the outside world, it’s just that Shaqiaogang is easier to get to.”
"Yes, why do we have to attack from Shaqiao Gang?"
"Yoshi, we can attack from other directions."
"I don't believe that there is only one road in the huge Damei Mountain."
After hearing Machijiri Yuki's words, the eyes of the officers present at the meeting suddenly lit up.
Xiaoluyuan Junsi said: "There is indeed more than one road into Damei Mountain from the outside world. As far as I know, in addition to Shaqiaogang, there are two small roads, Heifengkou and Qifengkou. But the problem is, these two
The path is rugged and difficult to pass, making it impossible for heavy equipment to pass, and it is easy to be ambushed by independent regiments."
Upon hearing this, the senior officers in the conference room immediately stopped their activities.
At this time, Xiaozhu Yinan, who had not said much, asked: "Oluhara-san, how difficult are these two paths?"
Oluhara Junsi said in a deep voice: "I remember that there is one of the most dangerous mountain passes called Yixiantian, which is only accessible to one person, and there are cliffs on both sides of the path. If the independent group sets up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides, it can easily defeat the emperor.
The army suffered heavy losses, and because the mountain roads were too rugged and difficult to navigate, the carrying capacity of mules and horses was only one-third of the usual load. They could barely carry the 92nd Infantry Artillery and mortars, and even the 75th Mountain Cannon could not be carried into the mountains.
"
After a pause, Oluhara Junsi continued: "Of course, this is not the worst."
"Isn't this the worst?" Dongjiu Nianyan said, "Is there anything worse than this?"
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi said with a heavy pause, "It is now the beginning of August, which is the hottest season of the year. Marching in the mountains during this season will not only consume much more physical energy than marching on the plains, but also
And you have to endure the nuisance of mosquito and fly bites, so it is completely conceivable that there will definitely be a large number of non-combat attrition!"
The faces of the senior officers present at the meeting changed slightly when they heard this, because they knew that Oluhara Junsi was not threatening.
In fact, Okamura Neiji's 11th Army in Jiangxi and Hunan was deeply poisoned by the hot weather. The most tragic one was the 27th Division that was fighting with the National Army in Shanggao. It is said that the non-combat attrition has exceeded 10,000
People, and dozens or even hundreds of people died of the disease every day, the 27th Division had effectively lost its combat effectiveness.
This time, no one mentioned going into the mountains anymore, because this was indeed no joke.
"Is it true that we have nothing to do with the Dameishan Independent Regiment?" Dong Jiureyan lamented, "If this is the case, how can we complete the task assigned to us by the Condemnation Army Headquarters?"
"The mission assigned to us by the Condemnation Army Headquarters?" Oluhara Junsi asked, "What mission?"
Dongjiu Nianyan sighed and said: "Oluhara-san, in fact, the task of the Dispatch Army Headquarters is assigned to your special operations brigade. The specific task is this. The Dispatch Army Headquarters requires you to conduct special operations.
Brigade, do everything possible to recapture or destroy the regiment flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment captured by the independent regiment."
"Nani?" Okahara Junsi said in a deep voice, "The regiment flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment has been surrendered?"
"Hai." Dong Jiure said in a deep voice, "Although it is unbelievable, this news should be true. The flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment should have been captured by the independent regiment."
Oluhara Junsi said in a deep voice: "In this case, it seems that we have to take a risk."
"Take a risk?" Dong Jiu'er Nianyan suddenly became energetic after hearing this and said urgently, "Oluhara-san, so you have already thought of a solution?"
"Hai." Ogawara Junsi paused and said, "Your Highness, there is no indestructible fortress in this world. Even if there is a fortress that cannot be breached from the outside, I am afraid it is powerless to face attacks from the inside."
"Internal attack?" Dong Jiuren asked, "You mean, attack from inside the fortress?"
Machijiri Ryouki said: "Initiating an attack from within? That's easy to say. The imperial army can't even get in, so how can we launch an attack from inside the fortress?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "Just because the large troops can't enter doesn't mean that our special operations brigade can't enter either."
"Special Forces Brigade?" Dong Jiu'er Nianyan immediately recalled the competition that night in his mind. It was really impressive to him. Before that, he had never thought that a troop could be so powerful, but the Special Forces
No matter how powerful the battle brigade is, there are only 200 people in it. Can they really capture the Shaqiaogang Fortress, which is heavily guarded by the independent regiment?
Machijiri Ryouki said: "Okahara-san, can your special operations brigade defeat the Dameishan Independent Regiment alone? Don't forget, Xu Rui's men also have wolf fangs, and their combat effectiveness is only no better than your special operations brigade.
weak."
Oluhara Junsi said: "The combat effectiveness of Langya may be stronger than that of our special operations brigade, but I have never said that our special operations brigade alone can defeat the Dameishan Independent Regiment. To defeat the Dameishan Independent Regiment, we must
To recapture the surrendered regiment flag, of course we have to rely on the large forces of the 10th Division."
Machijiri Yuuki said: "The problem is, the large troops of the 10th Division cannot enter Shaqiaogang Fortress at all, so how can they provide help to your special operations brigade?"
Oluhara Junsi said: "Machijiri-san, your thinking is too rigid. The large troops of the 10th Division cannot provide help to our special operations brigade only when they enter the Shaqiaogang Fortress."
"You!" Dingjiliangji was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry.
Higashikawa Nikihiko didn't care at all about the bickering between Ogawara Junsi and Machijiri Yuuki, and said: "Since neither of you can convince the other, you might as well have a war game."
Oluhara Junsi said: "This is exactly what I want."
Machijiri Ryouki also said: "I am willing to accompany you."
The people in the conference room were now divided into three groups.
Ogawara Junsi stands alone on the left side of the map. He will represent the special operations brigade and the 10th Division. Machijiri Yuki is on the other side of the map. He will represent the Dameishan Independent Regiment.
Zhu Yinan and other officers above the rank of colonel all stood in the front, acting as off-site referees for this war game.
Oluhara Junsi first picked up a big stone and put it on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Since the frontal attack is blocked, I will transfer the main force of the 10th Division to the side and prepare to enter the mountain from Heifengkou on the east side!"
Machijiri Ryouki also picked up a stone and placed it opposite to the big stone from Ogawara Junsi.
Then Machijiri Yuuki said: "I have observation posts high up on Damei Mountain and even aviation reconnaissance units. Your every move is under my surveillance, so your actions cannot be hidden from my eyes. Your troops have not
When you arrive at Heifengkou, my troops are already waiting for you at Heifengkou, because I am moving troops from inside and can move faster than you."
Dong Jiuer, Nianyan and others who acted as off-field referees subconsciously nodded. It is indeed faster and more convenient to mobilize troops inside.
"That's okay." Oluhara Junsi smiled faintly and added, "In the worst case, if we don't go through the dark wind, I can order the soldiers to cut down trees and clear a passage through the high mountains."
"Clean the passage?" Machijiri Yuki said coldly, "I will send a small force to harass."
"It's what you want." Oluhara Junsi said, "I will send out a special operations brigade to hunt down your small unit!"
"Special operations brigade?" Machijiri Yuuki said, "I will also send out the Wolf Fang troops to counter-hunt your special operations brigade. After all, this is Damei Mountain and my home field. Your special operations brigade cannot take advantage of it."
.”
"I don't need to take advantage." Oluhara Junsi said, "I just need the special operations brigade to wrap around your fangs. In this way, my 10th Division can gradually advance and gradually penetrate deeper into Damei Mountain, although the speed will be slower.
It’s very slow, but as long as we advance steadily like this, in half a month at most, the main force of my 10th Division will be able to cross Qingfeng Ridge.”
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Machijiri Yuuki said coldly, "My Dameishan Independent Regiment will come out in full force and try its best to block the advancement of your troops. Let alone half a month, even two months, you may not be able to
If you can cross Qingfengling, then your unit will suffer large-scale non-combat casualties due to hot weather and mosquito and fly bites."
At this point in the war game, off-site referees are required to judge.
Higashikawa Niryan whispered a few words to Xiaozhu Yoshio and said: "The referee team unanimously believes that the conditions of Machijiri-san are valid. If the enemy and our armies are entangled in Damei Mountain for a long time, there will most likely be large-scale non-combat attrition.
"
Machijiri Ryouki said proudly: "At that time, I will devote all the main force of the independent regiment to a massive counterattack. Even if the 10th Division will not be completely wiped out, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."
However, Oluhara Junsi smiled faintly and said: "It is a pity that this mopping up operation will be over before the 10th Division undergoes large-scale attrition, because your Shaqiaogang Fortress has been breached by our special operations brigade.
The mobile formation of the 10th Division will be able to drive straight into Meizhen, and your home base has been intercepted by me."
