283 Decisive Battle of the Guards Division
The Japanese army instantly began to face the attack of the entire Lin Fei army, and it was Kawamura Keiaki who succeeded Kita-Shirakawa Nohisa, whose talent was not as good as Kita-Shirakawa Nohisa, and he was not psychologically prepared to command the overall operation, so that the Japanese army did not receive the command of his superiors at all when it was initially attacked.
If this was not the Japanese army, but the Spanish army, they would have lost their armor and fled at this time, but the Japanese army had extremely strong tactical literacy and still fought back stubbornly despite losing the supreme commander.
However, the loss of the supreme commander still had a great impact on the Japanese army, because there was no unified command, the Japanese army was slow to respond, and the various units failed to fully cooperate with each other, and many people were killed.
Kawamura calmed down after the initial panic, and he immediately ordered the troops to summarize the situation of the attack.
Summarizing the situation of the attack on each unit is what the commander of the whole situation must do before giving orders, only in this way can he accurately judge the movement of the enemy forces and direct the actions of his own troops.
The Japanese army had a good tactical literacy, and immediately reported the situation to the higher authorities after being attacked, and the division and regimental staff summarized these situations at any time, so Kawamura Keiaki wanted the situation of each unit being attacked, and the general staff immediately sent the summary to his desk.
I saw that the report said that the position of No. 05 had been breached, and a force was expanding from No. 05 to the depth of our army, and the number was about a thousand; The flanks and fronts of position 04 were hit by enemy forces in position 05; Positions 01 to 03 were under enemy artillery fire and there were some casualties, but the positions were not in danger of being captured.
Kawamura Jingming looked at the report in front of him and immediately made a judgment that Lin Fei's troops wanted to outflank our army from position 05 and cut off the connection between our unit and the third brigade of the Taichung support force.
Kawamura Jingming judged Lin Fei's intentions, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if Lin Fei's troops really cut off the connection between the Guards Division and Taichung, the Guards Division would run out of ammunition and food, and finally be wiped out...
Should we retreat immediately? Kawamura Jingming muttered in his heart, and at this moment, the chief of staff of the Guards Division, Shigeo Sameshima, suddenly came over and said, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is Lin Fei's troops going to outflank our army's rear route?" β
Kawamura Jingming nodded solemnly, and Sameshima Shigeo said loudly: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, why are you worried?" Lin Fei's troops, this is a death..."
"Sent to death?" Kawamura Jingming frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
Shark Island Shigeo said with a smile: "Since this unit sent by Lin Fei wants to outflank in a roundabout way, it will definitely enter between our army and the Third Brigade, according to the report, they only have more than a thousand people, if our army cooperates with the Third Brigade, won't we be able to destroy this army in one fell swoop?" When the time comes, our army will turn defeat into victory. β
Kawamura Jingming frowned, and said in a cold voice: "What if we can't destroy this army? Our army was surrounded by them. β
Shigeo Sameshima said: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please think twice, the Third Brigade is only a day's journey to us, and it will only take a few hours for our heralds to send the news back to Taichung, that is to say, as long as we hold on here for more than 30 hours, we can eliminate one of Lin Fei's troops, and as soon as this army is eliminated, our army can take advantage of the situation to recapture the No. 05 position, and then turn the tide of the war." β
Kawamura Jingming's heart moved, he thought for a moment, and decided to use Onijima Shigeo's JianyΓ¬, he waved his hand to the herald and said: "Immediately send a message to the Third Brigade in Taichung, and ask them to immediately dispatch to attack Lin Fei's troops who are detouring to the rear of our department." β
The herald agreed and ran out, and Kawamura Jingming continued: "Order all troops to hold their positions and not let Lin Fei's troops take a step forward..."
As soon as these two orders were completed, the Japanese army began to act according to the order, and it was 2 o'clock in the morning on September 19, an hour after Lin Fei's troops launched an attack. β
Lin Fei simply said one word: "Read." β
Li clearly said: "The 1st Brigade reported that the 1st Regiment and the 3rd Regiment had begun to make a detour to the Japanese army, the 2nd Regiment was stationed at Position 05, the Japanese Position 04 sent reinforcements to launch a counteroffensive on the 2nd Regiment station, the 2nd Regiment counterattacked on the spot, and as of the time of the report, the 2nd Regiment had repelled three Japanese attacks. β
"This is the case with the 1st Brigade, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades, which launched a frontal attack on the Japanese army, reported that the Japanese army held their positions tightly, and after our troops launched a tentative attack, they did not launch a large-scale attack......
"Wait..."Lin Fei interrupted Li Mingming's report and said, "The enemy in front of the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade will defend us to the death? Are they showing no signs of retreat? β
"Report to Your Majesty, the two brigades have not reported any signs of retreat from the enemy." Li replied firmly.
Lin Fei frowned and said, "This is strange, they are not retreating now, aren't they afraid of being surrounded by me?" β
Li Ming didn't speak, Lin Fei thought for a moment, and said: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the Japanese army to retreat and pursue them, but I didn't expect them to retreat, or good, since the Japanese army is not afraid of being surrounded by us, then we will surround him, come with a big vote, and wipe out the Guards Division..."
After Lin Fei said this, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Order the Fourth Brigade to support the First Regiment and the Third Regiment of the First Brigade to jointly undertake the task of cutting off the connection between the Japanese army and the rear, and order the front line to feint the troops and suspend the offensive." β
After Lin Fei gave the order, someone conveyed the order, and Lin Fei's troops were about to start a decisive battle with the Guards Division.
Lin Fei arranged things properly, let out a sigh of relief, looked at Li Mingming, and asked, "Did Miss Ning Frost succeed in assassination?" β
Li replied clearly: "According to the Tuhruna patriarch, the banquet hall was suddenly in chaos, and many medical soldiers went to the banquet hall, and then they carried out a person inside, and that person was Kita-Shirakawa Nojiu..."
Lin Fei frowned and asked, "Banquet hall?" How was the assassination carried out in the banquet hall? How do you get out after the assassination? Did the Frost Girl escape? β
Li Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and the people of the Tukhruna patriarch don't know about this either. β
Lin Fei was worried for a while, and Li Ming comforted him on the side: "Miss Frost has very high skills, I believe she will be fine." β
Lin Fei said "I hope", and then asked about other situations, Lin Fei is the supreme commander, although he does not need to handle specific things, but he has to supervise the general things, such as logistics supply, he needs to know the logistics supply of his troops at any time, such as medical aid, this is the first actual combat of the medical team trained by Western medicine, he needs to understand the effect of training.
Lin Fei didn't close his eyes all night, and at six o'clock the next morning, the battlefield was a little calm, and Lin Fei also felt a sense of fatigue, when another message came: "The two regiments of the First Brigade and the Fourth Brigade have arrived at the roundabout outflanking position. β
Lin Fei was immediately excited when he heard this, and the tiredness that had just struck was swept away, and he called Li Ming and asked, "How long can the Japanese army's military food reserves last?" β
Li Ming replied: "According to the information sent by the ghost, the Japanese army's military rations will last for two days at most. β
Lin Fei smirked: "Two days? Well, the Japanese have never paid much attention to logistical supplies, and now we have seized this loophole, ordered the troops, and two days later, at two o'clock in the morning on September 23, launched an attack. β
Li Ming first agreed, then frowned, and said: "But Your Majesty, our Fourth Brigade and the First Regiment and the Third Regiment of the First Brigade will definitely suffer from the attack of the Japanese reinforcements during this time, should we support them?" β
Lin Fei shook his head and said: "There is no need for this for the time being, there is only the fourth wing left in the third brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Taichung, we have more troops than them, they are definitely not opponents." β
Li Ming nodded, and Lin Fei continued: "Transporting our artillery regiment to the No. 05 position and launching an attack on the Japanese army, although the time of the general attack is two days later, these two days will not make the Japanese comfortable." β
Li clearly agreed, and issued an order to the artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment acted immediately, and five HP-2 guns were transported into the No. 05 position, and in the following day, the artillery regiment launched attacks and bombardments against the Japanese troops every five minutes, and the shells fell on the Japanese positions from time to time, blowing up the Japanese tents into the sky and blowing the Japanese soldiers to the ground.
During the whole day on September 21, there was no major movement on either side, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, the 3rd Brigade from Taichung came to the position of Lin Fei's troops under the leadership of the brigade commander Nakaki Zhizhi Dasa.
The 16th Infantry Wing, which was completely annihilated by Lin Fei, was the unit of the 3rd Brigade, and all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Brigade felt that this incident was a great shame, and when they encountered the position of Lin Fei's troops, they asked for battle, and the brigade commander Nakaki Zhizhi considered that the whole army was relatively tired, so he ordered the troops to rest in place and launch an attack the next day.
The next day, at 7 o'clock in the morning on September 22, the Third Brigade began to attack the position of Lin Fei's troops.
Lin Fei's troops had already built fortifications and waited for the Japanese troops, and from 7 to 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese launched four attacks, all of which were repulsed by Lin Fei's troops.
In the command post of the 3rd Brigade, the brigade commander Nakaki Yukie vaguely sensed that there would never be more than 1,000 enemies on the opposite side, and his face sank like water, and he secretly thought that it must be the information of the Guards Division that was wrong.
Nakaki Zhizhi was anxious, if he couldn't capture the position of Lin Fei's troops on the opposite side, the Guards Division would be in big trouble, and at this moment, Nakaki Zhizhi suddenly realized that he had the second cavalry brigade under his command, and if he let the cavalry attack the position, he might be able to capture the position in one fell swoop.
