As soon as the staff officer's words came out, everyone present was taken aback.

What kind of unit is the Sixth Division, it is known as one of the strongest combat units of the Japanese Army, and the Second Division is known as one of the permanent divisions of the Army, and the 13th Wing under its command is even a veteran wing, how can even they suffer, how is this possible?

Gana Zhixiong said with a calm face: "What the hell is going on, you can make it clear immediately!" ”

"Hay!"

The staff officer hurriedly told him everything he had learned, and then asked again, "How did you know?" ”

The staff officer hurriedly replied: "I have a classmate from the Imperial Army University who is a staff officer in the 6th Division, and he told me. ”

Gana continued to ask: "Then how do you know that the army in front of you is the same as the one that the 13th Wing encountered last month?" ”

"It's easy to identify." The staff officer said: "The biggest feature of that army is that all of them are German equipment, wearing exactly the same military uniform as the German army, and they are also equipped with a machine gun called MG34 that Germany has just equipped the army, and the power of this machine gun must have been seen by everyone." And as far as I know, so far the only unit other than the native German army has been armed with this machine gun! ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces were a little difficult to look at, just before today, none of them expected that there would be a machine gun with such great power, the speed of fire was so fast and the power was so strong that it could make the opponent desperate.

The staff officer was estimated to be also a delicate person, and when he saw that Gana Zhixiong's face was getting more and more ugly, he hurriedly said: "There is a saying among the people of China, there has never been a winning general in the world, and although we did not fight this battle very smoothly, it is not that we did not work hard, but when we encountered the most elite troops of China, and we were attacking from the back, it was even more difficult to fight, so it was unfair not to blame all the responsibility for the defeat on our heads." ”

"Well, that's right!"

Gana Zhixiong's originally gloomy face eased unconsciously, everything is afraid of comparison, if it was just the 101 Wing itself that suffered a defeat, then there was nothing to say, but now there is a 13th Wing in front of it, it will be different. What kind of unit is the Thirteenth Wing, it is an old wing in the permanent division, and even they are deflated in the hands of that unit, and their own little thing should be nothing. Coupled with the fact that the opponent's weapons are so sophisticated, it is already very good that he can lead a second-rate army to fight like this.

Blame-shifting is not only proficient in the Chinese, but also in the Japanese. It was not only the co-captain of Gano Zhixiong who was present, but several other captains glanced at each other after hearing the news, and they all saw the relief on each other's faces.

It's just that after the relief, another question came out again, the firepower of the opponent's army is so fierce, whether the troops will continue to attack next, thinking of this, everyone felt a headache again, and many people secretly looked at Gana Zhixiong, the supreme commander of the wing. In particular, the losses of those brigade commanders in the battle just now can be described as extremely serious, and the losses of the first and second brigades have reached the level of being wounded and broken, and the total losses of the two brigades have exceeded 1,000 personnel, and if it is according to the practice of the Western army, these two brigades have lost the ability to continue fighting.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Gana felt a little pain in his head. Obviously, if you don't have the support of strong firepower, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream if you want to take Happy Valley, but if you fail to complete the task, if the division commander blames it, you will have to walk around without food.

"What should I do?"

Thinking of this, Gana felt that the headache was getting worse. In the end, it was the chief of staff who was clever, and hurriedly offered advice on the side: "Wing Commander, I think we might as well report the information that Fujino Shaosa said just now to His Excellency the division commander, and explain the difficulties here, especially the key request to send an artillery wing or aviation support, if there is uninterrupted support from the aviation unit, we will be sure to encircle and annihilate this Chinese army and make new contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

After hearing this, the surrounding officers pondered carefully, and looked at the chief of staff with different eyes.

Let's see what this guy just said, he needs the support of the artillery wing, the artillery wing is now hundreds of kilometers away in Jiujiang, as for wanting to get the uninterrupted support of the aviation unit, it is even more fantastical, just to come to such a wave of support or the division commander His Excellency is big enough, if you want to get the uninterrupted support of the aviation force, it is even more impossible, unless you are the son of His Majesty the Emperor. If you report the battle situation according to this guy's words, the situation will be very different, you see that even the old wing like the 13th Wing has suffered a big loss, and it is too normal for a second-rate unit like ours to suffer a small loss, if you don't give me support, then don't blame me for not fighting well in the future.

You see, what was originally a very humiliating thing in his mouth turned into a tenacious spirit for His Majesty the Emperor who was not afraid of strong enemies and repeated defeats, no wonder this guy was so happy before he returned to service, I heard that this guy was less than 35 years old and served as the head of the sales department of Sumitomo Electric Industry Co., Ltd., if he was the president of Sumitomo Corporation, he would also promote such a person.

Gana Zhixiong glanced at the chief of staff meaningfully, walked up to him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a soothing expression: "Hirano-kun, what you said is very good, so let's do it, the message to His Excellency the division commander will be as you just meant, and then send it directly, you don't need to ask me again!" ”

When the surrounding officers heard this, the look of envy in their eyes deepened. Look at it, the wing captain directly delegated power to you, what a lot of trust this must be, but what they don't know is that His Excellency the Chief of Staff can't stop scolding his mother in his heart. Jiang is still old and spicy, this guy is too old and cunning, this trick seems to trust himself, but in fact, it is to roast him on the fire, if the division commander blames this telegram signed his name will become the most direct evidence, and His Excellency the Wing Captain can excuse himself and say that he does not know. On the other hand, if His Excellency the Division Commander wants to commend the 101st Wing, he, the Wing Commander, will definitely not be able to get around it, and this is simply an invincible position.

Not to mention that the chief of staff secretly scolded his mother in his heart, since His Excellency the Wing Captain has spoken, then the matter is settled, and the 101st Wing will not attack for the time being until he gets a call back from his superiors, which also makes several captains let go of their secretly hanging hearts, not that they are unwilling to serve the emperor, but that the enemy is too strong.

It is normal for the officers of the 101st Wing to have such concerns, and they have been in the community for many years before returning to service, and most of them have married and had children. Like that kind of thing that shouts at every turn (Yasukuni Shrine) and then rushes up to fight bayonets with the enemy, only those hairy young men with funny brains in the permanent division regiment will do, after all, what if they die the wife and children at home? His Majesty the Great Emperor would not care about such a thing, and perhaps when the news of their death was reported back to their hometown, in a few months their wives or daughters would be able to go to the pantry (brothel*) to work.
