Since coming to this world, this is one of the few times Tu Mengben has been embarrassed. The first dilemma was when Zhang Xueliang chose to evacuate the Northeast in 918, when Tu Mengben was faced with a huge choice.

or follow Zhang Xueliang, or take a huge risk to resist the Japanese army on their own. With Zhang Xueliang walking, this is undoubtedly the easiest path.

Because in history, Zhang Xueliang would have to be forced to go abroad, and the authority of the entire Northeast Army would be vacant. Tu Mengben had the opportunity to directly control the entire Northeast Army, which was more certain than directly using the Fourth Army Corps in his hands to face the Japanese army.

But Xiao Tu méiyǒu does this. He chose to reorganize with his Fourth Army and fight his own war. That shí thick, he broke away from the Northeast Army.

At the same time, he is also in the last point of his friendship with Zhang Xueliang. rúguǒ He failed at that time, at least it would not involve Zhang Xueliang. The Northeast Army, after all, can still become the foundation of Zhang Xueliang's life.

The second dilemma was the question of whether or not the National Defense Forces would enter the customs after the outbreak of the incident in Fujian. At that time, the situation in the customs was obviously out of order, but Jiang Zhongzheng still sternly refused to allow the Wehrmacht to enter the customs.

At that time, Tu Menghu was faced with two choices, regardless of entering the customs. This may lead to a worse situation, and it will also lead to an all-out anti-Japanese campaign to increase its own prestige.

Tu Menghu Méiyǒu chose to enter the customs directly, but instead started a new war situation in Korea. On the one hand, Japan was forced to deploy troops to support Korea and stop the invasion.

On the other hand, it is also to prevent the national defense force and the officials of the Nanjing government from being completely rigid.

Now, Tu Menghu has a headache again. The losses of the Fifth Army were staggering. This caused Yan Chenghan of the Second Army to force them to retreat and repair.

The entire Fifth Army was almost destroyed, and the first-line positions were taken at the cost of two-thirds of the casualties and more than half of the regimental commanders.

Tu Menghu did not dare to guarantee how much the loss would be if the Sixth Army was allowed to attack as well. True. Now the Wehrmacht is very urgent.

The Japanese are stepping up their operations in Southeast Asia, and even the Burmese intelligence service has reported information about Japanese activities there. It is believed that Japan will soon make big moves in Burma, Vietnam, and other places.

The Southwestern Military Region was established for this purpose, in order to guard against where the Japanese would attack. The South China Military Region was to prepare for the Japanese army's landing operations in South China, and at the same time to assist the East China Military Region in recovering Zhejiang.

"Tell Ren Wenbin that I will give him three days of shí to take the second-line position." After being silent for a long time, Tu Menghu said in a deep voice in a suffocating atmosphere: "As a side requirement, the loss must be less than 10,000 people!" ”

The crowd lamented. This is simply a task that is not kěnéng complete. The second-line position was much more difficult to fight than the first-line position, and the Japanese army was more well prepared there.

And in the front-line positions, the Wehrmacht had already lost two-thirds of the strength of a corps. But now the commander-in-chief is demanding that a second-line position be laid that is more difficult to fight. The loss must not exceed 10,000 people. This is simply difficult for a strong man!

"Is it only the Japanese who have made progress that we méiyǒu make any progress?!" Looking at everyone's faces, Tu Menghu said in a low voice: "War is a test of a country and a nation as a whole. It will test our wisdom, our tenacity, our determination, and our endurance! ”

"If you can't pass the test, this country and this nation will eventually be catastrophic!" Tu Menghu took a deep breath. "The Japanese will seek change in the war. Are we just going to stay the same?! What I am doing now is to torture Ren Wenbin and the entire Second Legion: You have the wisdom of méiyǒu to command the war! ”

"If they can't do it, then they'd better pull it down. I don't want the soldiers who fought for my country to die on the battlefield because of their stupidity! ”

That being said, forcing the Sixth Army to do so was obviously too difficult for them.

"Commander-in-chief, is this too demanding?!" Su Zongzhe obviously wanted to intercede for the Sixth Army, which was a descendant of the Wehrmacht, and the Sixth Army, which had started from the Fourth Army and even earlier, was there.

All the way. The Sixth Army has made a lot of contributions to the Wehrmacht and the coalition government. Rúguǒ was pulled back just because of a strong order from Tu Menghu, which was undoubtedly a great blow to their morale.

Tu Menghu méiyǒu immediately replied to Su Zongzhe's words. He drove all the staff officers out and at the same time asked his adjutant to guard the house with the guards before he said to Su Zongzhe.

"Uncle Qiliu, it's not that I'm not close to people, but now I'm very worried about the situation of our defense forces." Tu Menghu sighed: "All along, we may have been too smooth. As a result, the eyes of the soldiers below have grown to the top of their heads! ”

"This ethos is not only in the Second Army, but even in our entire Wehrmacht. I thought about it for a long time, what is it for shíme that such a problem will occur?! ”

"The Japanese are constantly refining their tactics, so that they don't know how to do it in Korea and Shanghai?! Are they too lazy, or are they really stupid?! ”

Su Zongzhen stopped talking, he zhīdào slaughtered the tiger and said the truth. This is the case now, and there is a tendency to be reluctant to make progress in the Wehrmacht.

Or rather, the combat units of the Wehrmacht as a whole seem to have fallen into a kind of fatigue. In terms of tactical innovation, it is simply how many people are concerned.

Perhaps it is really as the commander-in-chief of his own country said, that the Wehrmacht has been fighting too smoothly all along. The consequence of going too well is that people will develop habitual thinking, thinking that their old methods are always useful in combat.

But they noticed that their enemies were advancing. And the progress is extremely obvious. For example, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the front-line positions and was finally defeated.

Then their artillery was dealt a fatal blow, so that the Wehrmacht could see the changes in Japan. They began to learn to camouflage the artillery, they began to send the artillery into the fortifications and hit them straight.

And that's just the bicycle blitzkrieg that the Japanese army carried out in the Southeast Asian theater and the Pearl Harbor sneak attack in the Pacific Ocean on the Chinese battlefield. And so on, these are all manifestations of their tactical innovation.

The Wehrmacht is still eating its old roots and is still proud, and it will suffer a big loss on the battlefield in the future!

"Uncle Qiliu, it's not me who is ruthless. But now they're just too lazy! Tu Menghu said with some hatred: "I always have to wake them up." If this continues, more fighters will die under this stupidity and laziness! ”

Su Zongzhe was silent for a long time, and finally stopped persuading.

And the Sixth Army, which received the telegram, was indignant, which was simply difficult for a strongman! The Fifth Army suffered two-thirds of the casualties in the first-line positions, and you let the Sixth Army take the more precipitous and difficult second-line positions with only 10,000 casualties.

It was also limited to only three days, didn't this force the Sixth Army to bow its head?! Rúguǒ is not Tu Menghu's prestige in the Wehrmacht, especially in the Second Army, is too high, and the people below have already scolded him.

"What's wrong?! Feeling aggrieved?! I feel embarrassed for you?! Yan Chenghan led people to the Sixth Army. As the commander of the corps, the telegram he received was naturally different from that of the army commanders below.

Su Zongzhe told Yan Chenghan the commander-in-chief's worries in detail, and Yan Chenghan was shocked to realize that it seemed that the Japanese army had been changing its combat tactics all along.

However, the Wehrmacht seems to be fighting back and forth, and apart from some of the new weapons, there has been no big change in tactics at all. Perhaps these tactics once brought the Wehrmacht to glory.

But rúguǒ is on the battlefield of fierce competition. If you refine your tactics and strategies in time according to the battle situation, you will suffer extremely heavy casualties.

Once a son falls wrong, the result of nàme will be the fall of the entire battlefield. Thinking of this, Yan Chenghan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! He began to understand his commander-in-chief's concerns.

"If you want me to say, it's not difficult at all!" Yan Chenghan is in this forward command. In front of Ren Wenbin and others, there was a burst of shouting: "The battle is difficult to fight." Can we have the shí thick and difficult to fight when we fought the Soviet Union?! That shí thick we have shíme?! Even the tank is méiyǒu! ”

"But we still won, and we are forcing the Soviets to bow their heads in Mukden. Obediently returned the Middle East Road to us. Yan Chenghan looked at these generals and said, "But now?!" How many years have passed, and our tactical arrangement has changed a little! ”

"You, including me! Or look at today's battlefield with those old tactical thinking, but the result is shíme?! As a result, we can see the Japanese changing little by little! They are constantly adjusting their tactics according to the battlefield, constantly constituting a greater picture of us, and one is a fool. It's just that many of them are bound by constant victories and inertial thinking.

It was a moment of méiyǒu reaction, once they were reminded of the horror and shock! The situation is indeed getting more and more critical. Last year, one of the Japanese fronts in Jinmen withstood the onslaught of the Wehrmacht.

He was beaten by the Wehrmacht and was forced to withdraw to Shandong. Even to the end. Even the commander of their front army was forced to commit suicide. The entire North China Front was almost completely annihilated.

But only a year has passed, and now the Japanese army can inflict huge casualties on the Wehrmacht on the front-line positions. Even the Wehrmacht's stronger heavy artillery, aircraft bombardment, and tank onslaught could hardly break through the Japanese positions.

It was not until it took a huge number of casualties that it was occupied. It has to be said that the Japanese army's ability to study and improve is indeed strong. It's only been a year of rape to that extent.

nàmerúguǒ go on?! There is no doubt that they will get stronger and stronger, and the Wehrmacht will undoubtedly fall behind in this competition if they do not change their tactical approach.

"Commander, that's what you said!" Ren Wenbin was silent for a while before he stood up and said in a deep voice: "We are indeed proud, and we are indeed careless!" We think that our opponents will improve. ”

Seeing Ren Wenbin simply admit his mistake, Yan Chenghan nodded with satisfaction. His tone slowed down a bit, and he said to the division commanders.

"The commander-in-chief has indeed put a lot of pressure on our Second Legion this time, but this is also the motivation of our Second Legion! Our second legion is a shíme unit ?! It was the commander-in-chief who brought up the troops! ”

Yan Chenghan said, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. This is the proudest thing of the Second Legion. The predecessor of the 2nd Army Corps participated in almost all the campaigns commanded by the Commander-in-Chief.

Many of these battles were enough for even one of the troops to make a name for themselves, but the Second Army was involved in most of them. This became the proud capital of the Second Legion.

"Are we afraid of difficulties?! Damn, I'm afraid it's not difficult! Yan Chenghan smiled heroically. said: "If the position is easily defeated, how can we show the strength of our second legion's ace lineage?!" ”

When Ren Wenbin and the others heard this, they involuntarily raised their chests fiercely. The people of the Second Legion are more arrogant than other legions when they go out.

It is because they have a strong record in the foundation, and they have the qualifications to be proud and hold their heads high. Lao Maozi, we have fought, the Japanese from the Battle of Jinan, 918 to Korea and the current Guannai battlefield, the Second Army has not been less grasping devils to practice knives.

"I believe in you!" Yan Chenghan looked at these high-spirited men and said, "And the treatment of the Fifth Army." I'll lend you the artillery of the legion first! Having laid a position, Lao Tzu asked the headquarters to give you credit! ”

"Yes!!"

Yan Chenghan did not give too many orders, believing that Ren Wenbin, who was on the battlefield and on the front line, would be more pro-gchǔ to the situation on the battlefield than he was. It was up to the Sixth Army's own staff to study the operational orders. It is more practical than Yan Chenghan, who is not on the front line.

That night, the division commanders of the entire Sixth Army and the staff officers of the General Staff all squatted in the headquarters behind the front-line positions. The tunnel was extremely hot, and there was even a faint smell of blood.

There is no doubt that there were no fewer deaths in this tunnel, which was captured by the Fifth Army. Perhaps these generals were still stepping on the blood and minced flesh of the Japanese.

But méiyǒu people care about this. The crowd is now arguing directly in this tunnel. In order to be able to ensure the capture of this position on the premise of the loss of 10,000 people. Everyone can be said to have used their brains frantically.

The Japanese were extremely well guarded, and the heavy machine gun and artillery holes allowed them to attack and kill everyone who tried to rush to the position from any point.

This gave the Sixth Army a lot of headaches, and it was certain that it would occupy the position and charge. However, with such a positional arrangement, it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to rush forward with a loss of less than 10,000 people.

Night attacks have been tried many times, and the number of light and dark posts has increased significantly after the Japanese army suffered the loss of night attacks in the front-line positions. Several times the soldiers of the Sixth Army tried to approach the Japanese positions, but they were driven down.

The Japanese were obviously frightened by the Wehrmacht's night attack, and at the slightest disturbance, they would directly shoot wildly at the suspicious area. There are even shí thick who will use artillery.

"Damn! This is more than the king's eight shells, what's the fight?! Liao Bin, the commander of the 16th Division, pulled his collar open. looked at the sand table viciously and said, "Let's fight down, it's really fucking unruly!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?!" Jiao Hua, the commander of the 17th Division, said with a sad face: "This is all prevented from becoming a king's eight shells." The cannon can't get in, and people can't rush in, how can this be fought?! ”

After half a night of discussion, the entire Sixth Army also came up with a feasible plan. Several of the tactics that were put forward were all rejected.

Obviously, it is not very kěnéng to sneak up on this position. To storm it, it would be an absolute idiot. Maybe the entire Sixth Army will be wiped out, and it may not be able to take this position.

"There's artillery in the distance, machine guns, grenadiers and those explosive bombs in the distance, grandma's! It's hard for tanks to rush through, why should we rush?! Ren Wenbin was not shíme good-tempered in the first place, and this constant problem gave him a headache.

"This is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is that the Japanese army is connected by a chain of bunkers inside." Xue Wen, chief of staff of the Sixth Army, said with a calm face: "Let's fight over, even if we blow up some of the firepower points, they can replenish them in time." ”

"Even if we blow up several at once, it will only be a matter of ten minutes for them to connect. And these firepower points are staggered, and the high and low combinations are excellent, even if we clean up some of them, it will be difficult to break them directly. ”

Everyone was silent, and Ren Wenbin stared at the sand table and gritted his teeth. As it stands, it seems that there is no way to do anything other than to storm it.

The Sixth Army had a headache, and Shunroku Hata was no better. The position of the second line was attacked and fell, but the losses were definitely not small. The IDF continued to use artillery fire, grenade launchers, etc., to strike at positions.

In particular, they had a lot of sharpshooters, which formed a great wēixié for the position. If it weren't for the two divisions and regiments that were guarding the position, perhaps the position would have been broken long ago.

In time, at least one multi-wing of troops has been lost on the current position. More than ten artillery pieces and more than thirty heavy machine guns were damaged.

The commander of the division guarding the second-line position urgently sent people to ask for weapons support. More ammunition is consumed than weapons, and the ammunition consumed in a day in the second-line positions is astronomical.

If this consumption continues, Shunroku Hata estimates that his ammunition reserves will be exhausted for half a month at most. And that's not even counting the weapons that were lost.

The Wehrmacht's strong attack power made Shunroku Hata tremble, and he now somewhat understood why Terauchi Shouichi had suffered a fiasco, but the combat effectiveness of this army was too strong.

However, in order to keep his position and not lose his position, Shunroku Hata could only transport the weapons and ammunition in reserve to the second-line position.

"Call the base camp, our unit is now in Shanghai to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese troops. However, the armament is insufficient, and the consumption of ammunition is huge. And the air support of the Chinese troops has formed a great wēixié ...... for our troops" (to be continued)
