Setouchiri's new official took office and did not light the fire, but he worked very hard.
After obtaining command, four infantry captains who were still on the front line were immediately summoned to return to the temporary command center for combat meetings.
First, he declared his leadership, and second, he naturally felt that Kanda Masato's current combat method was too reckless.
Because of night combat, the empire's artillery advantages were not fully utilized, and they blindly used infantry to fight against the enemy. Although it also had certain effects, such as conquering hills and highlands that were extremely important to the Chinese, it was achieved through huge sacrifices, and almost all infantry brigades were consumed there.
When did the Imperial Army win the lives of the Imperial Warriors? Nogi's Khiko's desperation and attacking tactics were already the old calendar decades ago.
Nakasa, the Army, believes that the reason why Kanda Masato was deprived of command was closely related to the huge military consumption. Perhaps Masato Niushima, who was rushing to contact the various divisions of the 10th Army, had already lost all patience to him.
As the successor front-line commander, he would not make such stupid mistakes again.
What's more, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade is over. Their current tactical goals have changed from breaking through this position to eating all the Chinese on this position, including the hundreds of reinforcements they had just arrived.
While waiting for the four captains of the majors to return from the front line, Setouli once again studied the terrain of the Jiashan area of ​​China, and a feasible tactic has been formed in his mind.
The chief of staff of the 36th Infantry Brigade, who has been suppressed by Niujima, is not only a top student who has studied at the Army University, but also his resume.
After graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, he served as a second lieutenant of the engineers, then as a lieutenant of the baggage force, then as an infantry lieutenant, and later as an infantry lieutenant. Due to his excellent performance, he was transferred to the staff of the division headquarters and was promoted to the rank of the minority. He then entered the Army University for further studies. After graduation, he was promoted to the Central Assistant of the Army. After serving in the Sixth Division, he was transferred to the 36th Infantry Brigade as the chief of staff.
The early resumes of serving as officers in various branches of the front-line troops all showed that Setouli was a staff officer with extremely solid grassroots combat experience, not a person who only knows how to talk about war on paper.
However, China's ancestors have long seen through human nature, "The trees are so beautiful that they will be destroyed by the wind in the forest." The better the resume, the more people will be cautious, especially the brigade-level chief officer like Niu Daoman, who is a leader with outstanding ambitions and talents.
However, when the battle situation was in a state of decline, Setouli finally got the opportunity to show his strengths. Although he cursed the two cheating guys such as Ushimashima and Kanda in his heart, Nakasa, the Army was still happy.
Therefore, he cherished this hard-won opportunity and tried very hard to pull this fig leaf for the generals of the 10th Army.
Especially Lieutenant General Sadao Niujima of the 18th Division, if he could take out the corpses of more than 1,000 or even more than 2,000 Chinese people in front of him and put them on the battle report, the lieutenant general of the army who made a major mistake could still report to the big men in the base camp with shameless night attacks: The Chinese people broke into pieces with their shameless night attacks, but our 10th Army killed the enemy Yingye, and the enemy buried thousands of corpses!
As for what is the "number", anyway, one thousand and two thousand are numbers. If you want to know, come to the battlefield to watch it yourself!
As long as Sadao Niujima does not fall, it will be much more useful than a major general like Niujima, who has lost his future, especially after he can get his gratitude.
It can be said that the little abacus in Setouli's mind was already crazily pulled away when he received the appointment of the front-line commander.
Setouli's tactics are not as crushing as Kanda Masaki's advantage in attacking with force and artillery fire, but they are absolutely vicious.
Even the wise Japanese Army Nakasa thought of the possibility that the opponent who had defeated the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade would lead his army back to rescue the soldiers on his own blocking positions. Although this idea even Manta Nishima, who was 1,000 meters away, believed that the possibility was extremely small.
Is that because they are still proud enough. Even if they have suffered continuous blows on this night, the pride of being the "strongest division on the surface" is so easy to be worn out? And their pride has been accumulated from continuous victories since the establishment of the division, not blindly arrogant.
Whether it is the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 or the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Army's vanguard unit will always have only one division, with the number 6.
During the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, under the leadership of Heimu Weizhen, he landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula and captured Weihaiwei in one fell swoop. During the Russo-Japanese War, he was under the command of the 2nd Army led by Ao Baogong and participated in the Battle of Shahe and Fengtian, and defeated the Russian army.
From 1923 to 1925, he was stationed in Manzhou. After returning to China, he sent troops to Shandong for the second time in March 1928, causing the Jinan tragedy.
After the September 18th Incident, he was reorganized and participated in the Rehe Operation at the end of 1932 and defeated Shang Zhen's 32nd Army at the cold mouth of the Great Wall.
Such a strong army is naturally qualified to be proud. Even in the current dilemma, the middle and senior officers of the 36th Infantry Brigade still agreed that even if the Chinese army attacked the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade won the victory, the losses would never be small. Naturally, it would be impossible for them to move for about ten miles to fight against thousands of troops that had once chased them in great difficulty.
The most correct way for the Chinese people is that their main force has fled towards the main force located in the Jiashan defense line. They should distribute some of their troops at this time and block their way before dawn comes.
In this case, although they lost the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade in this sudden night battle, they also killed all the elites of the Chinese, not only regained some face, but also made the opponent's commander heartbroken.
At this time, if they don’t know that the thousands of Chinese people they chased are actually elites selected by the Chinese army, they will be really stupid.
If you are not elite, how can you block one of their infantry brigades with the power of a thousand people for two hours? If you are not elite, how can you even make a "side-skip" on the way to escape and smash the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, which was unpreventable, and bloodied?
If the Chinese are so awesome, then let alone the 10th Army will not be able to set foot on this land, the term North China Expeditionary Force may not be available.
Killing such a group of Chinese elites is useful than killing Chinese people who are several times more powerful than them.
This is the pride of the 6th Division. Its failure once and twice was just a brief depression, which did not damage their determination to win the final victory. At this moment, they were also thinking about how to wipe out the elite enemy troops on the opposite side.
But Setouli didn't think so. From the failure of a bomber group composed of more than 20 fighter jets in the Navy to the continuous harassment of the infantry brigade on the way to the pursuit, the Chinese are taking advantage. On the surface, it seems that they are all lucky people who are struggling to survive.
But based on the ending of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, Setonelli actually felt that this seemed to be the Chinese commander had already planned. The ultimate goal of this series of operations was to kill the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.
That's what they thought since a week ago.
If it was as he thought, how amazing would the wisdom of the Chinese commander opposite him have never met? How could such a person design tactics according to the idea of ​​his defeated general?
If those idiots could guess what he was thinking, would they use their Zhongzuo Shao to squat in the grass and beep? Shouldn't that be a place to go to the toilet?
Setouli had to spend ten minutes persuading the rebellious captains of the majors. He was the one who made the decision, but the specific command on the front line had to rely on these people! If he disobeyed the commander, the effect of tactical execution would be greatly reduced. Nakasa, the Japanese Army, who had been in the grassroots troops for seven or eight years, understood the whole story.
As for the report of Masashima, Setouli doesn't have to make such a hard time. The brigade commander of the Major General, who is already worried, should be busy studying how to escape from the 18th Division now!
Nearly 100 heavy artillery pieces of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade are heavy weapons of the Empire. Once they are lost, not to mention the 10th Army, even the North China Expeditionary Army headquarters will not be able to suppress this news that is enough to shock the base camp.
In other words, Niudaoman is basically a general who stands aside. Perhaps he can't wait for the end of the final battlefield in Songhu, so he has to say, "Baga! Sprinkle the oil!".
Setouelli's efforts were effective, and several majors accepted his opinion.
Although the 36th Infantry Brigade has suffered a lot of damage at present, the baggage troops that have been following can replenish the front-line combat troops at any time. The joining of nearly a thousand baggage troops can bring back a lot of blood, which basically solves the problem of insufficient troops.
The existing two infantry regiments have six infantry brigades, leaving four of them half-disabled. While replenishing baggage, they continue to maintain a high-pressure offensive against the Chinese army in front of them, while the other two move three kilometers away from the two wings.
It is equivalent to forming a large pocket with the Chinese defense line in front of you. If the Chinese reinforcements do not arrive, the pockets will be closed and no Chinese on the battlefield will escape. If the Chinese army that attacked the heavy artillery brigade is bold and dared to come, then they will be surrounded together.
If you can't chew it in one bite, then wait until dawn to chew it slowly.
When the 12 mountain cannons from the division artillery brigade who were lost and caught in the car arrived, the gods could not escape.
Of course, these two infantry brigades that still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness are also responsible for alert tasks, just to prevent them from being surrounded by Chinese people.
The Chinese are like ghosts at night. Setonelli has already experienced it a few days ago. At this time, he will not give Tang Dao a chance at any time.
It is said that God favors hard-working children, and the Japanese Army Nakasa, who has arranged all this, is extremely looking forward to a good result in the next time.
But Setouli obviously forgot one thing: the major general, colonel and the 36th Infantry Brigade have been fooled by Tang Dao. Isn't he the middle master?
Tang Dao, how could he fight this battle according to his ideas?
What's more, Setouli has 75 mountain cannons and infantry cannons in his hand, and Tang Dao now has cannons in his hand.
cannon!
Heavy artillery!
