"Smack......

A fist smashed on the table in front of him, and because the fist was too strong, blood began to seep out in many places!

The adjutant was shocked, and he didn't care if his next behavior would anger the captain, so he immediately shouted: "Medic, come here, the captain is injured!" ”

As soon as the medic with the medicine box on his back ran to the door of the headquarters, he saw the captain glaring at him fiercely, and then scolded: "Get out!" ”

"The lives of hundreds of soldiers are gone, what is this little injury!"

After saying that, he shifted his gaze to the adjutant!

"After subtracting these casualties, how many soldiers can the entire brigade still muster to fight!"

The adjutant hurriedly replied: "I plan to draw people from the baggage brigade, the artillery squadron, the heavy machine gun squadron, and the guard team to supplement the infantry to ensure that the first, third, and second infantry squadrons are fully formed!" ”

"Too little!" The captain replied with anger!

"Two squadrons attacked in three directions, a hundred men in each direction, and also to protect the artillery and heavy machine-gun units! If there is a surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army, it will have to divide the troops to counterattack, and there will simply be enough troops to attack! ”

"But we're running out of soldiers!" The adjutant replied helplessly!

"I calculated just now, in order to ensure that the two infantry squadrons are full, the baggage team will be emptied, and the extra gunners, machine gunners, and ammunition men in the artillery unit and the heavy machine gun squadron will also be withdrawn!"

"If you draw more, the artillery and heavy machine gun units will have more equipment than men, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

The captain shook his head, ignored the adjutant's explanation, and insisted: "I don't care what the reason and reason, we still need an infantry squadron, so as to ensure that the three-way attacking troops can attack and retreat and defend!" ”

The adjutant replied stubbornly: "Sir, we have so many troops left, and it is definitely impossible to solve it internally!" If you want an extra squadron of troops, you can only ask for help from friendly troops and ask them to support some of our troops! ”

The captain subconsciously wants to veto!

Once you open this mouth, you will lose your face!

Everyone is the strength of a brigade, and after a battle, they are reduced to the point of asking for help from friendly and neighboring troops, and when this matter spreads, the first reaction of the superiors is that their own captain is too incompetent, and his command ability is not as good as that of several other captains!

But in the end, he agreed: "The overall situation is important, ask for help, as long as I can take Lingqiu City, reduce the casualties of some imperial soldiers, and avenge the imperial army who died in battle, I will lose my personal face!" ”

"Send a telegram now, asking each infantry brigade to send me reinforcements from an infantry squad!"

"Hey!" The adjutant hastened to answer!

But he came back less than two minutes after leaving, and his face was even more solemn than before!

The captain didn't notice it, and subconsciously asked, "Has the telegram for help been sent?" ”

"Didn't send it!" The adjutant hesitated and replied!

"Before the lowly post had time to send a telegram, the telegram of the three captains arrived one step ahead, and the humiliation took the initiative after reading the telegram and did not send it!"

"Smack......

The captain smashed another punch on the table, thinking that the adjutant would dare to disobey even his own orders, so he scolded: "Bage Yalu, don't you know that I can be executed on the spot by disobeying the military order on the battlefield?" ”

"Do you think that if I lost the battle, you can disobey my orders!"

"Sir's anger!" The adjutant was in a hurry to answer!

"The lowly will never dare to disobey the military order, but the other three brigades also sent us a telegram asking for help!"

"They also suffered heavy casualties in the afternoon street fighting, and they are in dire need of reinforcements, and there are simply no extra troops to increase us! Even if you send a telegram, you won't be able to send reinforcements, and you will make others laugh! ”

"Nani?"

The captain snatched the telegram handed over by the adjutant and quickly skimmed it!

"Poof!"

After reading the three telegrams, the captain sat down in his seat on the spot, the anger on his face was gone, and then he was covered with despair a little bit!

"It's over!"

It took a long time for the captain to spit out these two words!

Then the whole person seemed to be several years old in an instant, his face was pale, and he didn't have any strength in his body!

If only one of his own brigades suffered heavy casualties, as long as he took Lingqiu and had combat exploits in hand, his superiors would not say anything!

Now that the other three brigades have also suffered heavy casualties and have no soldiers available, then their dream of taking Lingqiu tonight will be shattered!

And those three captains will definitely put the responsibility for the defeat of the troops on themselves!

Once you are held accountable, you will be finished!

The adjutant was anxious, and immediately comforted: "Sir, you must be calm, the casualties are a bit big, but the responsibility should not be borne by you alone!" ”

The captain shouted in despair: "Such a big casualty, where is it a bit big, obviously very big!" ”

"All three infantry brigades suffered more than five hundred casualties!"

"Add our losses, that's more than two thousand three hundred!"

"If I hadn't been too anxious, as soon as the troops were in place, I would have ordered them to attack, and they would have entered Lingqiu City and fought street battles with the Eighth Route Army, and the more than 2,000 imperial troops would definitely not have died in battle!"

"I am definitely responsible for the more than 2,000 imperial troops who died in battle!"

"I'm just a big captain, commanding more than a thousand imperial troops at most! This afternoon, because of impulsiveness, more than 2,000 imperial troops were killed, what do you say the military department will do with me! ”

"You know, this is caused by the absolute superiority of the imperial army!"

The adjutant lowered his head and did not speak!

The captain is right, more than 2,000 imperial troops died in battle, and someone must carry this pot!

As the commander-in-chief of this attack, he is unstoppable!

If the rank of the captain is Dazuo, maybe a demotion will pass!

But he's just a lieutenant, and he's just a captain! With such a big responsibility at once, if you judge it well, the best solution is to go to a military court!

The captain had obviously thought of this, and his face became more and more pale!

Finally, he forced himself to calm down and ordered: "Send a telegram to the military headquarters immediately: report the situation here truthfully!" ”

"In order to shirk their responsibilities, the other three captains must have reported the battle situation in the afternoon through their own channels, and the casualties of the troops are so large, several captains must be very angry!"

"Tell the military department that I am fully responsible for the failure of our offensive and the heavy casualties of the troops today, and I am no longer qualified for the post of captain and temporary commander-in-chief, please appoint a new commander immediately!"

After finishing speaking, the captain seemed to have used up the last bit of strength in his body, and sat down completely in his seat, with a dead face!

Waving his hand, he continued to order: "Go and send a telegram now, everyone go out, from now on, no one can enter the command without my order!" ”

The adjutant had already vaguely guessed the captain's thoughts, and shouted in a hurry: "Captain, don't be impulsive!" ”

"Maybe your superiors won't let you be in charge, maybe you can!"

"Get out!" The captain commanded resolutely!

"Don't forget, now I'm still the captain, carry out the order!"

The chief of staff of the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan hurriedly ran in with a telegram in his hand, his face was solemn and he was very anxious!

When he saw the commander, he hurriedly reported: "Sir." Something happened to Lingqiu! ”

"Four reinforced brigades launched an attack at the same time, the Eighth Route Army guarding Lingqiu is less than two thousand people, and we also have aircraft support, what accidents can happen!" The commander was very confident in his arrangement, and he answered without thinking about it!

The chief of staff also didn't care to explain, and directly reported: "Their attack failed, and the troops suffered heavy casualties!" ”

"This is a telegram jointly sent by the three captains, and in just one afternoon, the three brigades suffered more than 1,600 casualties, almost all of them were killed in battle!"

"Now they have stopped the attack as ordered, and all the troops have retreated to the front line of the city wall, ready to change the way of attack!"

The army commander couldn't sit still, stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically, "Three brigades?" Didn't they have four brigades? And we also appointed a brigade commander as a temporary commander, why did the commander not report! ”

"More than 1,600 imperial troops were killed in battle, isn't it just a small Lingqiu City that they want to attack? How could it be possible to die so many imperial troops! ”

"The military department strengthened their mountain artillery, airplanes. Are they all good-looking? Why not use it to attack the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Contact their commander Motoki Nakasa immediately, I want to know what happened to Lingqiu City?"

As soon as the chief of staff was about to send a telegram, the communications staff officer rushed in!

"Sir, Lingqiu City is in an emergency!"

The chief of staff took the telegram and just glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he shouted!

"How is that possible?"

"What's the matter?" The commander took the telegram and began to browse!

Halfway through it, his eyes widened, and he once again showed a shocked expression of disbelief!

gasped and shouted: "How is it possible, their casualties are more than seven hundred, which is greater than the casualties of the other three brigades, what does he, the captain, eat, and how does he fight!" ”

"It's only been one afternoon, we have lost more than 2,300 people in Lingqiu City, isn't that a small county town, how can it be so difficult to fight!"

The chief of staff read the telegram very carefully and replied: "Sir, it was our troops who were too careless to underestimate the enemy, and the Eighth Route Army was cunning, and then they used street fighting to kill so many of our imperial troops!" ”

"They have already thought of a new tactical method of warfare, using artillery and aircraft to destroy the buildings in the city, so that the Eighth Route Army will lose the street fighting battlefield first, and there will be no way to hide, and then attack!"

"If you fight like this, the casualties of the troops will definitely be much smaller!"

The lieutenant general still scolded angrily: "Since this tactic is so good, why did Motoki Nakasa only think about it now, what did he go to do all afternoon, more than 2,000 imperial troops, and the front army may not be able to kill and wound so many people in a large-scale battle!" ”

"If this loss is reported to the Front Army Headquarters, His Excellency the Commander will definitely be held responsible!"

"More than 2,000 imperial troops died in battle, someone must be in charge!"

"Where is Major General Sakai who went to Lingqiu, tell him that he must rush to Lingqiu City to take over the command of all the troops before dawn tomorrow, otherwise military law will be involved!"

"At the same time, take down Motoki Nakasa, he is right in the telegram, as a temporary commander, he must be responsible for this defeat, and he is no longer qualified for the position of captain!"

"Also, send a telegram to the Lingqiu front now, all troops can't attack tonight, just hold the existing occupied area!"

"The troops suffered heavy casualties, and night fighting was what the Eighth Route Army was good at! Attack rashly, and it is easy to suffer losses when the troops are insufficient! ”

"For the sake of Lingqiu City, our casualties are already big enough, I don't want any more unnecessary casualties!"
