Chapter 566 - There are different opinions
The staff officers of the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army quickly came up with an analysis based on the intelligence of all sides, and the result of their analysis was that although the two Japanese brigades and regiments in Xiyang County had suffered a great blow, the elite still existed and could still continue to fight, on the contrary, the troops of the New Second Brigade of the Chinese army had already suffered casualties to the foundation, and as for the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, these Japanese staff officers did not pay attention to them, and they believed that in the next operation, as long as the troops of the New Second Brigade were defeated, the rest of the local troops would not be worried.
The Japanese staff officers played a great role in the war, these staff officers were well trained, they could provide very good plans for the Japanese army, and their brains were very useful, and they could make very accurate analyses based on some intelligence.
It's just that, like other Japanese officers, most of the Japanese staff officers looked down on the Chinese troops, and when formulating the battle plan, they would even use a large group to equal the combat effectiveness of a Chinese division, and obviously this time, they made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.
The Hashimoto Group, the chief of staff of the First Army, took a train overnight to the front line to supervise the battle, while the 1st Brigade and the 25th Brigade entered the rest and recuperation, and they would not continue to fight until the Hashimoto Group arrived.
At present, the Japanese troops are assembled in Shijiashan, the county seat of Xiyang County, and Lijiazhuang Town in Xiyang County, while the independent detachment and guerrilla detachment of the Chinese troops are deployed in Zhitou Town, east of Lijiazhuang Town, the Yongxing Detachment and Wang Naigui's detachment are deployed in Zhangzhuang Town, Pingding County, and the troops of the New Second Brigade are deployed in Dazhai Town, south of the county seat of Xiyang County.
Liu Qian and other doctors found five pieces of shrapnel on Sun Weiguo's body, four of which have been removed, and the remaining shrapnel is left in Sun Weiguo's body, which is difficult to take out with the current medical level.
Although the best doctor of the health team rescued Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo was still in a coma, and it was unknown whether he would wake up.
"Cai'er, where have you been, Captain Liu Qian asked us to take care of the brigade commander, you are really, I didn't find you just now, now the captain is in a bad mood, you should be careful."
In a compound in the county seat, Xu Ni saw a nurse in a white coat, and she said anxiously.
This nurse's name is Li Cai'er, she is Xu Ni's hometown, and her family was killed by devils, so she also joined the health team.
Li Caier and Liu Qian also know each other, but the relationship is not as close as Xu Ni.
"I'm going to the communications company, and you know that we don't have enough manpower at all now, so I want Company Commander Luo to arrange some personnel to come over." Li Cai'er said softly.
Xu Ni stopped talking, and the two of them came to the room, their eyes looked towards Sun Weiguo at the same time, and both of them had worried expressions on their faces.
Two nurses took care of Sun Weiguo here, and in the government compound of the county seat, officers from various departments of the Jindong Combat Corps came here one after another.
Sun Weiguo was seriously injured and is still unconscious, what should happen to the next battle, this is not something that Shen Wei or Zhao Lerong can decide, they need to discuss with everyone.
In the past, when Sun Weiguo was there, everyone knew that Sun Weiguo was the number one general in the second war zone, and everyone could follow the instructions made by Sun Weiguo.
But now that Sun Weiguo is wounded and in a coma, who commands these troops, this is a question.
"Our brigade used to have more than 1,500 people, and now the troops have suffered one-third casualties, such casualties are really too great, I suggest that we should not fight anymore, we can contain the Japanese troops like guerrillas, there is no need to fight hard with the Japanese army."
"Although we have killed a lot of little devils, our own losses are also heavy, and if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that our troops will be exhausted. Detachment leader, my opinion is very simple, I absolutely can't continue to fight with the little devil like this. ”
"That's right, our troops have just developed, and all of our family resources are going to be exhausted, our local troops are different from the main force of the new Second Brigade, we have never fought such a tough battle at all, if we continue to fight, I'm afraid that one of our detachments will be exhausted."
"The little devil commander is very powerful, when Brigade Commander Sun is here, he can't easily solve the little devil, and now that Brigade Commander Sun is injured and in a coma, we will not be the opponents of the little devils, I think it is more appropriate to fight guerrillas, it is better for our troops to immediately disperse to fight guerrillas."
The large room was already filled with officers from various departments, and when everyone had gathered, several officers began to speak.
The casualties of all units were very large, especially some local troops that had just developed, and such casualties were not something they could bear, and at this time they expressed their unwillingness to continue to fight like this, and they felt that if they continued to fight like this, their troops would definitely be exhausted.
The most important point is that after knowing that Sun Weiguo was unconscious, the confidence of these officers was greatly damaged, and without Sun Weiguo in command, they felt that their troops were definitely not opponents of the Japanese.
"Commander Fu Tao, your troops have suffered a lot of casualties, what do you mean?" Someone began to look at Fu Tao, the head of the pre-first regiment, and asked.
Fu Tao and the others all knew about Sun Weiguo's injury, but they didn't know that Sun Weiguo's injury was so serious, and he was still unconscious.
Hearing someone ask about his opinion, Fu Tao looked at the officers present, and a calm expression appeared on his face.
"The casualties of our pre-regiment are not small, but we can continue to fight, the little devils have not left Xiyang County, they may threaten the friendly troops fighting in the southeast of Shanxi at any time, the brigade commander gave our regiment an order to contain the Japanese army, and our regiment must carry out this order. There is one battalion left in our regiment, I will be the battalion commander, and I will be the company commander of the remaining company, even if I am left alone, I will carry out the order to contain the Japanese army, and I will definitely not take a step back. ”
Fu Tao said in a serious tone, and finally he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on the table.
After hearing Fu Tao's words, everyone talked about it, and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and Shen Wei glanced at each other.
"Although Wei Guo was wounded, the battle has been carried out to such a point, if we let go of the Japanese troops at this time, our previous sacrifices will be wasted. Comrades, I hope that you will persevere, and I am sure that the final victory will definitely be ours. Shen Wei also spoke, and she said in a solemn tone.
Everyone looked at Shen Wei, and the officers of the various departments discussed one after another, and they were discussing whether they should continue to fight.
