Chapter 136: Returning to the Master (3)

Chen Yuxing is not a so-called international student who is generally mixed and waits for death by qualifications, although he is from a wealthy family to study at his own expense, but in his bones he is a hot-blooded young man who really loves armored soldiers, but the American armored troops are also just starting, and the tank is even more tattered in World War I, even if it is tattered or only a handful, there is no such major for Chen Yuxing to study, so Chen Yuxing collected all the examples and research results of the tank in World War I, which can be regarded as a self-taught example.

At that time, he relied on his extraordinary understanding of the armored corps to obtain Zhang Xuewu's approval to enter the new first division mechanized regiment, Chen Yuxing could see at a glance where Zhang Xuewu's deployment problem was, the first priority of solid defense is the reasonable surname of defense, but Zhang Xuewu was thinking about how to effectively kill and injure a large number of effective living forces of the army, in order to be able to kill and injure more effective living forces of the army, Zhang Xuewu even directly exposed his command headquarters to the direction of attack of the army.

This is also the main reason why the battle of Chengde is extremely tragic, in the face of a distant victory, no matter who is the attacking side will be crazy, so in the street battles in the city, the army will pay so many casualties, the attack is supported by artillery, has a large number of automatic weapons and ammunition is quite sufficient, and built a complete and solid multiple garrison fortifications that are equipped in echelons, 7:1 casualties are too normal.

After Chen Yuxing was reprimanded, he immediately began to adjust the firepower deployment in the direction of Laohugou in the east of the city, and Zhang Xuewu repeatedly checked the preparation for war and the morale of the troops along the traffic trenches, and the morale of the officers and soldiers of the troops was as important as the weapons and ammunition, and the morale of the troops was related to the combat effectiveness of a force. This is also General Yu's lifelong regret.

This is the result of the fact that a typical senior commander cannot accurately grasp the troops, because in the tragic street fighting, the casualty ratio of the grassroots officers is very alarming, so the soldiers of the grassroots units are easy to break up or hide and fight separately, so Zhang Xuewu has always been willing to take the risk to reach the front line in person, and even he climbed over the ruins of Lao Cai, chatted with the officers and soldiers stationed in the ruins, handed out a cigarette, and patted his shoulder.

Zhang Xuewu's meaning is to give every officer and soldier corresponding encouragement, telling them that your commander is beside you, and Zhang Xuewu has been emphasizing that the regiment commander dies in the regiment and the deputy regiment deputy takes over, the regiment deputy chief of staff takes over, the company commander dies and the deputy company commander takes over, the deputy company commander dies and the platoon commander takes over, the platoon commander dies in the squad leader, and the squad leader dies in the veteran, and the troops cannot be dispersed at any time.

When the news of the attack on the airports in the western suburbs of Lalatun and Jinzhou finally reached the headquarters of the Yue Army on the front line of Chengde through several radio stations, the Shaozuo of the Yue Army at the key point of the secret motor took the telegram and took a rough look at the person, and almost fainted directly!

This is really a shuddering news, Lalatun, which is located not far from Chaoyang County in the rear, was actually attacked by the [***] elite of the small group, Takahashi Shinichi's garrison brigade was completely annihilated, Yoshino Nobuyoshi Osa, the head of the Yoshino detachment, committed suicide by disembowelment, more than 1,700 tons of ammunition and materials stored in Lalatun were burned, and the supply base of the army's forward operations was attacked? This is not just a question of the morale of the military wavering.

Muto Nobuyoshi, whose face was bloodless, immediately convened a military meeting of senior generals at the level of brigade commander and above, the atmosphere of the meeting was particularly solemn and depressing, Muto Nobuyoshi pressed his hands on the table and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone knows very well that China [***] attacked my Chaoyang logistics supply base and Jinzhou Western Suburbs Airport with an elite small army, the supply base was completely destroyed, and all the fighters at the Western Suburbs Airport were destroyed, and more than half of the personnel were lost, I want to ask everyone here what is going on?" Is it really a small unit in the middle [***]? How did they pass through our lines? What are the garrisons at the western suburbs airport and Lalatun doing? ”

After a quick cough, Muto Nobuyoshi, whose face was a little flushed, slapped the table and shouted: "This is dereliction of duty, and it is a desecration of the identity of the emperor [***]!" They should all commit suicide by caesarean section, and they should feel ashamed! ”

Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Ningji looked at each other, and what surprised them at the moment was no longer the attack on the airport in the western suburbs of Jinzhou or the destruction of the Chaoyang logistics supply base, but the two Commander Nobuyoshi Muto were eager to shirk their responsibilities? It's kind of sensational.

However, what reassures the two is that the parties Takahashi Shinichi Shaozo and Yoshino Nobuyoshi Osa have both got their due ends, and the Yoshino family behind Yoshino Nobuyoshi is said to be a big chaebol in the country, and it is the backbone supporter of the Showa warlords, and the Imperial Army also has an extremely excellent tradition, that is, there must be a limit to accountability, and the death of a person is like a lamp going out and there is no accountability, and Yoshino Nobuyoshi's military rank is enough to calm the anger of the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters, As for the Jinzhou side, it is necessary to immediately send someone to deal with the first offender who was paralyzed and careless, and the Captain of the Squadron Inoki and the commander of the Jinzhou garrison, Heiyu Nishiki Osa, who are still living in shame.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Muto Nobuyoshi took a deep breath and said, "Since everyone doesn't say it, then let me say it!" ”

Muto Nobuyoshi stood up and walked to the map and said: "Zhong [***] is now holding on to the various passes of the Great Wall with heavy troops but has been delaying to help the besieged Chengde, the main reason is that the Chinese side does not want to break out a full-scale war with the empire, their intention is to negotiate while resisting, I think at this time the news of the bombing of our army's supply base will definitely reach Beiping, then the first reaction of Zhong [***] is to reconnoiter the supply base of our army in Chaoyang, and the loss of the Kwantung Army air force cannot be made up in a short time, But Lalatun can, rebuild the village, cover up the traces of the explosion with a large canvas, and drive away the enemy's reconnaissance planes with anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, we still have half a day and a night, Okamura-kun! Do it now! ”

Okamura Ninji immediately nodded with his legs, and then quickly turned around and left, Muto Nobuyoshi pressed on the map with a white-gloved hand and moved along Chengde to the Great Wall Pass, and then stopped at the Gubei Pass and Lengkou and said: "Our army is short of ammunition, heavy artillery shells are exhausted, and supplies are beginning to be lacking, but it is still okay to maintain an offensive for about a week, we have to give Zhong[***] an illusion, that is, our logistics have no problem at all, we must not retreat at this moment, we still have to attack, If we want to show the invincible spirit of the imperial army, bravely attack the pass of the Great Wall, and make strategic arrangements with the intention of attacking Pingjin, our army will have an illusion in the fierce offensive, once the time is ripe Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki, please lead the military negotiation team to be ready to set off at any time, and take advantage of the time when we negotiate with the Chinese [***], all our troops will quickly withdraw to the Chaoyang line and hold on, I have asked the Korean army to immediately reinforce and send two infantry wings from Manchuria to Shanhaiguan to cooperate and exert pressure. ”

The commander of the Sixth Division, Itamoto Masaemon, looked at the desperate commander in amazement, Itamoto Masaemon is not a mushy egg, the great empire today is won by desperate bets again and again, and the big gamble is the heavenly surname of the Yamato empire and the Yamato nation, and it will be blocked vigorously, or die in silence!
