Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 82: Endless white-knuckle battles

"Baga Yalu, it's this hooligan tactic again!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi gritted his teeth in anger.

Since the fishing missed three days ago, the Chinese commander on the opposite side seemed to have suddenly opened up the idea, and the tactical use became more sophisticated, saying that this routine of increasing the depth of defense and forcing the Japanese army to engage in endless white-knuckle warfare with it made the Japanese army very uncomfortable.

The Chinese army's defense front is very wide, but the strength spread on each line of defense is very small, the Japanese army casually put in an infantry squad or even only an infantry group to break through the defense line of the national army, but this is not the end, the Chinese army's defense is very deep, they have built countless defense lines in front and back, waiting for the Japanese army to break through one by one.

A surprise attack, a white-knuckle battle, a dozen casualties at a time; Another assault, another white-knuckle battle, another casualty of a dozen people; Of course, the casualties of the Chinese army were large, and the loss of positions meant that their wounded would not only not be treated, but would also die tragically under the bayonets of the Japanese army, but the casualties of the Japanese army were also not small!

The Chinese army relied on this piecemeal tactic to deplete the Japanese army's strength little by little.

It was this piecemeal tactic that the Chinese army relied on to weaken the Japanese army's firepower superiority as much as possible, but gave full play to the advantages of the national army's large number of troops and strong individual combat effectiveness as much as possible.

If it continues to be consumed like this, the first person who can't hold it will definitely not be the national army!

Compared with equipment and firepower, the national army could not catch up with the Japanese army, but in the competition with the number of veterans, the national army was able to throw off a few streets of the Japanese army, even if three veterans of the national army exchanged for one Japanese soldier, small Japan still couldn't stand it, not to mention that now the Japanese army could not take advantage at all, and the casualty ratio of the two armies was nearly one to one.

He Zhiying II also tried to throw in two or even four infantry squadrons at a time to launch a group charge, but the result was similar, although it broke through several national defense lines at a time, but also triggered large-scale white-knuckle battles again and again.

Therefore, a small-scale attack is a small-scale white-knuckle battle, a large-scale attack is a large-scale white-knuckle battle, a white-knuckle battle, a white-knuckle battle, or a white-knuckle battle, the Chinese army is using this seemingly clumsy but actually almost rogue tactic, in the endless white-knuckle battle, little by little to consume the Japanese army's strength, as well as the Japanese army's sharpness.

The 44th Infantry Wing has been replenished almost a full round since its landing!

He Zhiying II had a very unpleasant premonition that if this set of tactics of the national army was promoted, if the Chinese army on the opposite side all adopted this tactic of "fighting hard and fighting hard during the day, and fighting a counterattack at night", then the Japanese army's offensive would be unsustainable, and the entire Battle of Songhu would also fall into a stalemate.

Could it be that the situation of the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance five years ago will be repeated?

Kinoshita Hideyoshi put down the binoculars and said in a deep voice: "Captain, I'm afraid that the battle will fall into a stalemate if it goes on like this." ”

He Zhiying Er sighed a little helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I really don't know what those fools in the staff headquarters are doing, if they can innovate their tactics as soon as possible and replace the heavy bombs mounted by the aviation units with 25 or even 5 kilogram bombs, even if the defense depth of the China Army is doubled, it will suffer heavy casualties under the intensive bombardment of the naval aviation and army aviation, how can the imperial army fall into such a bitter battle as it is now?!" ”

He Zhiying II reported to the General Staff Headquarters and suggested that the Logistics Department change the magnitude of the bombs for some time in view of the special terrain in the suburbs of Shanghai, but he has not received a reply for a long time.

"The bureaucrats in the headquarters?" Kinoshita Hideyoshi pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "They have always thought with their butts, and if you want them to agree to tactical innovations, unless the sun hits the west." ”

He Zhiying Er sighed: "Yes, these bureaucrats have always only cared about their own interests, they only know that innovative tactics need to rectify the production line of the arsenal, they only know that it takes money to rectify the production line, but they don't know how many lives of imperial soldiers can be exchanged for these money, this group of bureaucrats has never cared about the life and death of imperial soldiers!" ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi said angrily: "In their eyes, the imperial soldiers are just tools to help them grab profits, how can they invest too much money in order to protect the tools?" ”

He Zhiying Er nodded, and said helplessly: "Then, we can only pin our hopes on the reconnaissance detachment, as long as the reconnaissance detachment can find out the reality of the opposite branch artillery, or simply solve the opposite side of the branch artillery, we still have a chance to break through the Shi Xianggong Temple and capture Jiading in one fell swoop." ”

Lion Forest Battery, the headquarters of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry.

When Kono Jun hurriedly walked into the wing headquarters of the cavalry wing, he didn't see wing leader Isamu Tanabe, but he unexpectedly saw a familiar back, so he greeted the back tentatively: "Lin Sang? ”

"Kono-san." The figure turned, smiled and opened its arms.

"Lin Sang, it's really you!" Jun Kono opened his arms and hugged the man tightly, "I saw Ohara-san a few days ago, I didn't expect Lin Sang to come to Shanghai too, hehe." ”

"Hehe, I heard that Ohara guy suffered a defeat."

"Yes, Ohara-san suffered a big loss in Wusong Town."

"That guy has always been arrogant, and he must be so angry."

When the two of them were talking happily, another Japanese soldier with obvious characteristics of looped legs walked in, and said in amazement: "Kono-san and Lin Sang, do you know?" ”

This Japanese Nakasa was the wing commander of the 11th Cavalry Wing, Isamu Tanabe.

"Captain!" The two little devils hurriedly bowed to the old devil, and after finishing Kono, Jun reported again, "Wing Commander, Lin Sang is my classmate of Lu Shi, and he joined the 11th Division to serve together, but later Lin Sang was admitted to the Army University, and I was transferred to Shanghai after retiring from the army, until I was called up again a few days ago. ”

After decades of development, the officer training system of little Japan has been quite perfect, and the little devils can enter the local army junior school after graduating from junior high school, and then enter the central junior school for two years of intensive study, and then enter the army to serve, and after six months, they can report to the army non-commissioned officer school when they are mixed with the military cao (sergeant).

After graduating from the army non-commissioned officer school for one and a half years, the military rank of the little devil is promoted to Cao Chang (sergeant), and the top five Lu Shi can get a silver pocket watch given by the Japanese emperor, and then enter the army again to serve, and after half a year, you can generally mix with the second lieutenant, if you can mix with the lieutenant or even a captain within three years, and the age is not more than 30 years old, you will have the opportunity to get the recommendation of the wing commander of the unit you serve, and you can report to the Army University with a letter of recommendation.

Kono Jun didn't get a letter of recommendation from the co-captain, so Zuihou had to retire in disgrace.

After being admitted to the Army University, the little devil basically completed the feat of carp jumping over the dragon gate, and after studying at the Army University for three years (two years for artillery engineers), he could basically enter the senior guidance organ as a staff officer.

This is also the main reason why the Japanese army staff officers were able to form a culture of "following the top", because these staff officers basically graduated from the Army University, and some of them were even members of the saber group (the top six graduates could receive a saber from the Japanese emperor).

For example, Rintaro was a member of the saber team and studied at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany.

"Really?" Tanabe Yong said in surprise, "Kono-san, this classmate of yours is amazing, not only from a famous family, but also a proud son in the army, he has just returned from studying at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, and the division commander has high hopes for him, you must help this classmate of yours well." ”

Kono Jun's heart was gloomy, but his face was forced to be happy, and he suddenly bowed his head and said, "Hai! ”

"Then your classmates will chat first, and I will be out of company." Isamu Tanabe smiled and turned to leave.

"Kono-san, I can't believe that we will have a chance to join forces again, hehe." Lin Taro smiled and grabbed Kono Jun's arms, Kono Jun also smiled, but looking at the ranks on the shoulders of the two, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be gloomy again, he is still only a lieutenant, and Lin Taro is already a young man.

The two have also opened a big gap in terms of rank, Kono Jun is only a small cavalry squadron leader, and he has just retired from the reserve to active duty, but Lin Taro is already the captain of the special operations brigade directly under the division, and he has never left the army, and the status of the two in the army can be said to be very different.

Lin Taro stretched out his hand to hold Kono Jun's shoulders and said: "Kono-san, the scouts of the Shina Army are very arrogant, and they are everywhere at night, and I have made a special request to the division commander this time to secondment your cavalry squadron, hoping to use the rapid maneuver of the cavalry to counteract the Shina scouts." ”

Kono Jun bowed his head heavily and said solemnly: "Lin Sang, I will do whatever you say." ”

Lin Taro smiled and nodded, then pulled Kono Jun to the huge simulated sand table, pointed to the sand table and said: "Kono-san, please look, from Liuhe to Luodian, and then from Luodian to Guzhai to Baoshan County, the entire front stretches for more than fifty kilometers, and the imperial army has limited strength, so it is absolutely impossible to block the entire front and prevent the infiltration of the Chinese scouts."

However, the deep position behind the battle line is even wider, and once the Chinese scouts infiltrate, it will be difficult to pull them out, and it is at night, which makes it even more difficult, so if you want to hunt down the Chinese scouts, you must not rely on the initiative to attack, but can only wait for the rabbit. ”

"Waiting for the rabbit?" Kono Jun was stunned and said, "Lin Sang, can this work?" ”

Lin Taro smiled: "I have set up a few traps, if the scouts of the Shina Army are competent enough, they should find at least one trap, as long as they find a trap, they will definitely take the bait." ”

After that, Lin Taro tilted his head slightly and said, "In short, everything is up to Kono-san." ”

Kono Jun was slightly stunned and asked, "Lin Sang, aren't the special combat teams together?" ”

Lin Taro waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a few cunning rabbits, there is no need to mobilize the division, as for our special combat team, the division commander has already made other arrangements." ”

"Hello." Jun Kono bowed his head heavily.
