Chapter 249: Yokosuka's Controversy

Yamazawa Shizugo raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the unit of the Fourth Division, but the extremely vigorous performance of the Chinese unit so far made him unable to believe that things would be solved so easily, "What if the Chinese withstood and did not collapse?" ”

"Why should the Guards Division have arrived then? This is their task, and naturally they should be the main attacker! The captain smiled and grinned and said his wishful thinking, "If they can't fight and plead, it's not too late for us to go up!" ”

"Yo Xi!" , Yamazawa Shizugo's eyes lit up suddenly, he realized that he had walked into a misunderstanding, it was the task of the Guards Division to eliminate this Chinese army, the Fourth Division was just here to help, and it was uninvited to escape the impossible task of conquering the Yokosuka Fortress, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace is estimated to be on fire, if the Fourth Division will wipe out all this Chinese army, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace will definitely be even more angry, although this serious defeat may make it fade out of the military circle, But after all, he is still a prince. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the credit is great and easy to grab, then it is worth grabbing, but now it is clearly a hard stone, and it would be too stupid to do so!

Shizugo Yamazawa was unconsciously assimilated by the Fourth Division, and Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace had grown because of the previous failures, and they should have arrived a long time ago, but they waited until more than eight o'clock the next morning to finally join the Fourth Division, in order to wait for the artillery to catch up. After so many previous defeats, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace had clearly realized that without the support of artillery fire, the price to be paid to defeat that seemingly small Chinese army must be terrifying.

Just when Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace and Shizugo Yamazawa finally met to discuss the next battle plan, thick smoke suddenly rose from the position of the second battalion, and the column of smoke continued to rise, almost connecting the sky and the earth, attracting many Japanese officers and soldiers to stop and watch. When the two division commanders heard the noise and saw it, their first reaction was that the enemy position was on fire, but they soon realized that the smoke column from the fire was not so dense, and the color did not look like an ordinary incineration......

"Oh no, that's wolf smoke! The Chinese are using this ancient method of communication to ask for help from the Yokosuka base! Prince Nohisa Kita-Shirakawa Palace, the commander of the Guards Division, first understood, and his face showed a solemn expression.

Shizugo Yamasawa was not surprised, and said with a smile, "I'm worried about how to take the Yokosuka Fortress, if reinforcements are really sent there, the garrison of only more than 2,000 people will definitely become extremely weak, I'm afraid that the people who fired the cannon will not be able to get together, and we just take the opportunity to recapture the fortress!" ”

"Sot die." As soon as Prince Nechihisa of the Kita-Shirakawa Palace heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, secretly sighed in his heart about the other party's good luck, and at the same time began to think about whether he could also get a little credit from it, and make up for his previous guilt a little.

At this time, at the Yokosuka Naval Base, the commanders of the Marine Corps had a fierce argument over the wolf smoke in the north......

The materials of the wolf smoke were naturally brought by the second battalion before departure, and they were used to call for help when necessary, and it stands to reason that the regiment should immediately send reinforcements after seeing the smoke column, but the regiment commander frowned and could not make a decision.

"According to the pre-war deduction, even if the second battalion lit a cigarette and asked for help, it should have been yesterday, how could it have sent a signal until now? I think it's more like the smoke material has been captured by the enemy, and they use this to lure us into dividing our forces so that we can take advantage of the situation to seize the base. At the meeting, the regiment commander expressed his worries and showed a relatively cautious attitude, "Do you remember the enemy troops who came to attack yesterday? I'm afraid there are 20,000 people, and although they are temporarily repulsed by us, they are just in the way of the 2nd Battalion's southward retreat, and even if they can get rid of the pursuit of the Tokyo garrison, they are likely to accidentally run into this unexpectedly stronger enemy and fall into a heavy siege, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on until now......"

A battalion commander unceremoniously accused, "When I drew up the battle plan before, I didn't expect that the Japanese would be determined to fight without fear of the breakdown of the peace talks, and they reacted so quickly, they knew that they shouldn't have let the second battalion take risks, and if they waited a few more days, the reinforcements from the country would be foolproof as soon as they arrived, and one twenty or thirty thousand people would be enough to wipe out all the Japanese troops." ”

The staff officers of the regiment, on the other hand, were aggrieved, because it was Li Hui's request to send troops to demolish the Yasukuni Shrine, and he wanted to openly slap the Japanese Government in the face, but he still had illusions about the peace talks and did not want to make the scale of the war too large. Thinking about the Sino-British War, which is now getting bigger and bigger, and the devil knows when it will end, this staff officer who was born in the navy can't help but agree a little more with the view of some people who say that Li Hui is a diplomatic idiot when they talk about it in private......

The head of the regiment also thought of this, and in order to avoid causing doubts about Li Hui and causing harm to himself, he decisively stopped the trend of deviating from the topic, waved his hand and said, "The party leader taught us that we must grasp the main contradiction in everything, what is the main contradiction in this matter now?" First of all, who released the cigarette, if it is said that it was released by the second battalion, you must first explain one thing, why did they not release it yesterday and only released it today? If this matter cannot be explained, it is very risky to divide the troops to rescue......"

"Maybe it's only today that they're surrounded?" , A deputy battalion commander who has a good relationship with Huang Haitao said his guess, and everyone's eyes lit up, Huang Haitao is a guy with strong self-esteem, and he will not ask for help until he is really cornered.

With this idea as a starting point, the participants quickly thought of a lot, and some people also made a more in-depth analysis based on the defects of the wolf smoke message, "I think it is not only a matter of self-esteem, the distance of the wolf smoke message is far away, but the message that can be conveyed is very brief, probably only indicating 'need for rescue' and the approximate location of them." But there is a problem here, if the second battalion is in the process of marching, if the reinforcements we send follow the direction indicated by the wolf smoke, they will definitely run in vain, and even fall into danger because of it. They should have carried materials more than once, right? If I'm right, they'll be putting another ...... in the same spot in the near future" (To be continued.) )
