Chapter 771: Sword and Blood
?“ This bastard would actually decide to attack at such a time! ”
Seeing the information, Shouichi Terauchi and Shouzo Nishio also hated itchy, because this node of attack was extremely unfavorable for them!
First of all, although the weather is now clear, the knee-deep mud in the Yellow Flood Area is simply a huge disaster for the Japanese troops with tanks and artillery, and under such conditions, these heavy weapons, which were originally their strong point, have all become a burden!
In fact, if it weren't for these heavy weapons, the 146th Division of the Japanese Army, even if it had gritted its teeth, would have evacuated from the Yellow Flood Area to safety anyway. lā
And now, the Japanese troops of the two divisions have been hungry for a long time because of the supply reasons, and they are preparing to wait for the road conditions to improve a little in two days, and then send the supply team over, so that the troops can rest for a while and then withdraw, but now, the Chinese army has decided to launch an offensive at this time, but the nose of a senior general is crooked!
"Your Excellency, you must immediately notify the 146th Army to retreat immediately, otherwise it will be a big trouble!"
A general hurriedly said: "If it is an ordinary Chinese army, it is not a matter of concern, but now that bastard from Lu Yuan is here, this person is insidious and cunning and vicious, and he must not be taken lightly, otherwise, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers in the two counties of Zhongmu Wei are likely to suffer a catastrophe......
"Yes, I also think that we should evacuate immediately!"
"Yes, there is a long way to go, and we have to guard against it!"
The general's words aroused the echo of many people, but many generals immediately stood up and objected: "Your Excellency, I believe that retreating under the current situation is very unfavorable to our army - first of all, the imperial soldiers of the two legions have been short of food and clothing for most of the month, and their physical strength has seriously declined. ”
"Second, if we evacuate now, the artillery fire, armored vehicles and tanks carried by the two divisions will definitely not be able to carry, and it will also have a huge impact on the strength of the two divisions. If we destroy these weapons when we withdraw, it will increase our weapon consumption and put too much burden on the subjects of the Empire......"
Some generals also echoed loudly: "In my opinion, it is better for the 146th Division to rely on the city wall and wait for reinforcements, while my fresh army will advance rapidly from the rear to support the two major corps, and when the time comes, the corps will not only be able to relieve the siege of the two counties of the Zhongmu Wei clan, but also follow the pursuit of the Zhina army that has not had time to evacuate and inflict heavy damage!" ”
"Hmph, it's a light thing to say, do you know that this time the Zhina Army is counterattacking on all fronts, and it comes prepared, I think we must avoid its edge - not to mention that Lu Yuan's bastard is also there!"
"We can defeat the Chinese army of more than 100,000 people with 20,000 people, and now our army is several times more than 20,000...... What about the long way off? No matter how strong he is, it is impossible to defeat my tens of thousands of imperial elites, war has always been a contest of overall strength, and the situation will never be reversed by someone! ”
While speaking, there was already a great quarrel in the Japanese military headquarters, and some officers believed that it was necessary to temporarily evacuate to avoid the front, while the other faction believed that the 146th Division should be used as bait, and at the same time, the 10th Brigade and the Sakagaki Division and other units that were hoarded in the rear should respond to the attack from the side, not only to win, but also to fight for the 100,000 troops who dared to cross the river to eat them in one bite, so as to eliminate the living force of the Chinese army to the greatest extent.
