Chapter 243: Fiction and Reality
However, even if he is determined to sacrifice, Huang Haitao will not give up all hope of survival. Although the hope of two or three percent of the pen and fun www.biquge.info is small, but it can be fought for, and if you can live, who wants to die?
In order to prevent the devil from having a chance to put out the fire, the second battalion deliberately waited for a while longer, until the shrine building was almost burned down, Huang Haitao ordered to retreat, and during this period, the second battalion repelled three Japanese attacks, killing and wounding six or seven hundred Japanese soldiers. Perhaps stimulated by the smoke over the Yasukuni Shrine, the Japanese attack became even more frenzied, but in the face of heavy machine gun fire, their pig charge only sent the soldiers to death in vain.
After hearing the loud sound that shook his eardrums, Huang Haitao finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the release of the captive priest and witch, and the previous burden suddenly became a shield, allowing the commanders and fighters of the second battalion to retreat calmly in the opposite direction.
However, the direction Huang Haitao chose made his partner frown, "Haitao, do you want to go back to that gap?" The enemy is not stupid, he will definitely set up an ambush, and then he will be attacked on three sides! ”
"I remember that the instructor said during the lecture that there were many outstanding people before and after the Meiji Restoration in Japan, so the enemy's commander should be thought of more intelligently." Huang Haitao gritted his teeth and said something that was very similar to a tongue twister, "So he should know that we will think of him setting up an ambush on that road, so he may think that there is no point in doing this, and give up doing it in order to save troops." ”
"This is exactly the reality of fiction and reality, and the magic of the art of war." , The instructor's eyes suddenly lit up and praised, but Huang Haitao said that he had not seen the art of war, and the inspiration was completely derived from the story of the Three Kingdoms, which made the instructor speechless for a while.
However, the instructor still did not veto Huang Haitao's decision after all, after all, no matter where the source is, the truth is indeed correct, especially Huang Haitao's analysis of "insufficient Japanese troops" is to the point, which makes the instructor feel a little more confident.
The Japanese army alone has more than 12,000 people in the Guards Division, how can it not have enough troops? Not to mention, it's really not enough, there are a large number of non-combatants and technical arms among the more than 12,000 people, and there are actually only four infantry wings and one cavalry brigade that can be used for street fighting, and the personnel of the Guards Division is not as large as that of the field division, and one infantry wing only has two infantry brigades, that is to say, there are only eight infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade in the combat unit.
Then it was impossible for the Imperial Palace not to strengthen its defenses, at least one infantry wing could not be moved under any circumstances, due to the fierce performance of the marines, Prince Kita-Shirakawa Palace, the commander of the Guards Division, in order to ensure safety, sent an additional infantry brigade over, and the only troops that could be used in his hands were 5 infantry brigades and 1 cavalry brigade.
And because of the series of battles after entering the city, including the cavalry brigade, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, the total number of which had reached more than 1,000 people, so there were even more troops that had been severely damaged and temporarily lost their offensive ability and needed to be reorganized. By the time the Marines completed their mission and began to evacuate the shrine, there were only two complete infantry brigades left under the command of Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa who could be put on the offensive at any time, with a total strength of less than 3,000 men.
As a result, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Miya had no choice but to make a trade-off, let go of the enemy's unlikely way back, and concentrate his forces on both ends of the main road at the entrance of the shrine to block it.
However, it must be explained that the reason why Prince Nohku of Kita-Shirakawa Palace made such a judgment was not only because Huang Haitao thought of it, but also because he didn't know that the explosives left by the Marine Corps were not enough to pass through the wall casually. On the one hand, this concern made Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace think that the marines could take a closer "road" and the possibility of returning the same way was very small, and on the other hand, he had to always hold on to the reserves of an infantry brigade in his hand and did not dare to send them out easily, just in case, and the already insufficient troops naturally became more and more overstretched.
Originally, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace was still counting on the Fourth Division, which was not far away, to come to reinforce it, but who knew that the base camp said that the Fourth Division had been sent to attack Yokosuka, and planned to take advantage of Yokosuka's empty forces to recapture this naval base, and at the same time, by the way, it also had the effect of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao".
This logic can be completely refuted, and Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace can only fight the Tokyo police, but even if he obtains the emperor's own edict, it is not easy for the personnel who were not in the same system before to integrate in a short period of time. For the time being, the only role that the Tokyo police can play is probably to inform the Guards Division of the enemy's situation; By the way, there is also a task, which is to cooperate with the firefighters to extinguish the fire......
Although in order to avoid harming himself, Huang Haitao has not deliberately set fires, but the Japanese-style buildings are too easy to ignite, let alone grenades, even if it is machine gun fire, it may ignite, and it is difficult to free up manpower to extinguish the fire during the battle, the result is often a small fire into a large fire, and after the Marine Corps leaves, more police officers rushed to desperately extinguish the fire. From this point of view alone, even if Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Miya can quickly grasp the Tokyo police force, it may not be able to fundamentally alleviate his dilemma of insufficient troops.
However, when the vanguard of the second battalion arrived at the gap, they were still attacked, which made Huang Haitao's heart tense suddenly, but he immediately noticed that the gunfire was very sparse, and realized that the enemy should have only left a small number of military police, so his face eased slightly.
Huang Haitao's judgment was not wrong at all, the enemy encountered by the front row was nothing more than a few Japanese policemen who were left behind to clean up the scene, and the machine gunners with superb shooting skills killed all of them with only a short burst, considering that there might be a fierce battle in the future, the second battalion, which had already used up a lot of ammunition reserves, had begun to pay attention to saving ammunition.
But the police in the distance still passed the news out in time, and Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace was shocked when he learned about it, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and asked people to call the artillery wing that had been on standby to give orders......
After receiving the call, the wing commander of the artillery wing thought that he had misheard, "Your Royal Highness, you are not joking, are you?" Shooting into the city of Tokyo? ”
Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace replied in a resounding voice, "Yes, this Chinese army must not be allowed to escape from the city of Tokyo!" Even if it causes a serious fire, it will not hesitate! (To be continued.) )
