The sudden appearance of the Chinese army aroused the great attention of Hasegawa Masanori.

The defeat was not terrible, it was terrible that the Chinese army had mortars and tanks, and it was very orderly in organizing the offensive.

The army's weapons are weaker, and its equipment is almost as good as it can be compensated for by other means, but only the combat quality cannot be compensated for in a period of time.

This can already be clearly understood in the battle of Shanghai.

So where did this Chinese army come from?

"Naomasa Sugawara!"

"Your Excellency, Captain!"

Hasegawa Masanoshi glanced at Naomasa Sugawara, the captain of the Sugawara Brigade: "You can't let the reinforcements enter Matsue, you go and block them!" ”

"Hay, defeat them!"

Hasegawa Masaken was very satisfied with his subordinates' firm belief in victory: "Order, the Noto Brigade hurry up and attack!" ”

"Hello!"

Unlike Hasegawa Masanori, who attached great importance to any subtle changes on the battlefield, Sugawara did not take this new Chinese army on the battlefield seriously.

Like many mid- and lower-ranking officers in the Japanese army, Sugawara was born into intelligence work, and after the Battle of Shanghai, he became a captain who was quite familiar with the situation in China.

However, unlike other middle- and low-level officers with intelligence backgrounds, who must first familiarize themselves with the battlefield and accumulate a certain amount of experience before they can lead troops alone, it was Sugawara Naomasa who directly skipped this link.

As soon as he entered the 6th Division, he was personally appointed as the captain of the brigade by the division commander Toshio Tani.

Hasegawa Masanogen was also very incomprehensible at first, but when Toshio Tani explained the reason to him. It dawned on him that this was the case

Naomasa Sugawara did not pay any attention to the Chinese troops who arrived on the battlefield, in his opinion. Those Chinese armies will immediately collapse when they face the imperial army.

In any army, there are officers who are level-headed and calm in the face of danger, and there are commanders who are blind and arrogant and have nothing to look at.

Naomasa Sugawara is undoubtedly the latter

An infantry brigade he barely had to dispose, and it seemed to him completely unnecessary. You don't have to think a lot about fighting the Shina army.

He didn't use his brain. His opponent, Wang Weiyi, had already done his homework before the attack was launched.

When he learned what the Sugawara brigade was about to attack him, he immediately asked Xiao Ling for information, and Xiao Ling passed on the information about Sugawara Naomasa to him, which also surprised him:

"Naomasa Sugawara is the grandson of the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, Matsui Ishone"

"Wait. You say he's the grandson of Matsui Ishone? ”

"Yes, Matsui Ishone's daughter married Sugawara Otohachiro of the Marquis Sugawara family, a great Japanese nobleman, and later gave birth to Sugawara Naomasa When he was doing intelligence work, he was assassinated by Nagata Tetsuyama, the director of the military affairs bureau known as Japan's first brain. Matsui Ishine was implicated in this matter. He was forced to resign and withdraw from the military. The Sugawara family was also implicated in some ways, and Sugawara Otohachiro repeatedly warned his son to be careful in the room, so Sugawara Naomasa was very cautious and cautious, and he was very humble everywhere, and he was unanimously praised by his colleagues.

Later, Matsui Ishine was reactivated, and Sugawara Naomasa was transferred to the Shanghai Dispatch Army for the first time, and Matsui Ishine heard everywhere how good his grandson was. Because he was decisively assigned to the 6th Division, which had the most combat effectiveness, and entrusted Gu Shoufu to take care of it. But when you enter the army. Naomasa Sugawara's true character, who doesn't need to hide anything, is completely exposed, arrogant, and has no one in his eyes. It's just because of the strong combat effectiveness of the 6th Division that he has not suffered defeat."

"Arrogant, no one in sight." Wang Weiyi groaned: "What else? ”

"And he advocated offense, believing that the best defense was to attack, and because of this, he suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield in 1943."

"The fiasco is ahead of schedule." A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Weiyi's mouth.

The so-called best defense is to attack, and you can only say such things when you have an absolute advantage, otherwise it is simply a fool's dream.

Wang Weiyi already has a plan to defeat Naomasa Sugawara!

Several officers were quickly summoned, and when Wang Weiyi told him about his plan, the officers looked at each other, did the major's plan be made?

"Ouyang Yu, you go and take the lead!" Wang Weiyi began his own point general.

"Why am I doing this errand?" Ouyang Yu muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Somebody has to do it." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Execute it immediately, after defeating the Sugawara brigade, rescue Songjiang as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

A bold plan began quietly, and the core of this plan was to take advantage of Sugawara Naomasa's arrogance

"Your Excellency, the Chinese army is charging our army!"

just arrived, and before he had time to catch his breath, Sugawara Naomasa had already gotten the news, and instead of being surprised, he laughed: "The time has come to serve the emperor and make meritorious contributions to the empire!" The whole brigade counter-charge! ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, please leave the reserves."

"No!" Sugawara Naomasa said categorically: "There is no need to leave reserves for the Chinese army, the whole brigade will attack, and it will be executed immediately!" ”

"Hello!"

The Sugawara brigade, which hurried to the battlefield, immediately launched a counteroffensive against the attacking Chinese army after receiving this order.

There were only a few two or three hundred people on the opposite side, and when they saw a whole large group of Japanese troops swarming towards them, they turned around and ran away in fright.

Naomasa Sugawara is overjoyed!

What enemy has a lot of firepower, it's just an excuse made by those losers for themselves!

Since following the 6th Division into the battlefield, the wing commander has never sent himself to the battlefield because of his grandfather, and now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

Sooner or later, he will become a "famous general" like his grandfather

"Pursuit, don't let go of a Zhina!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, please don't pursue immediately!" It was Maeda Yoshi, the squadron leader of the Maeda Infantry Squadron, who spoke: "I don't think this is normal, how could the Shina people attack us with only such a small number of troops?" And in intelligence it was said that the people of China had tank troops, where are their tanks now? ”

"Maeda-kun, you're too hesitant!" Sugawara Naomasa was very unhappy that his deployment was questioned: "The Shina army has collapsed under the powerful offensive of our army, and the troops they were able to reinforce Matsue were all in Matsue Castle, and they no longer had the strength to send reinforcements." As for the tank"

Sugawara Naomasa snorted disdainfully: "Their chariot, we have already seen it in Shanghai, is vulnerable!" Maeda-kun, don't hesitate any longer, attack, attack! ”

Maeda Yoshishi shook his head a little helplessly, fighting like this, sooner or later, there will be problems. He called his subordinate Prime Minister Jinsong, and said worriedly: "Your Excellency the captain doesn't take the person too seriously, I'm worried that something will happen." Do you see, there is a large open space on our left side, which is suitable for the attack of the enemy's tanks, and if the enemy uses the tanks to cut off our roads and attack us from behind, then we will be in danger. So, I want to keep you here."

"Hello!"

"Aihara-kun, you only have a squad, I don't know how many soldiers there are in the Daozhi, but no matter how difficult it is, you must stay here, please."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Squadron Leader, if you let the Shina people rush in, I will commit suicide to atone for my sins!"

That's the only thing Maeda can do

The Chinese army that suddenly appeared had already collapsed, and was constantly fleeing backwards, and at this time Sugawara Naomasa had already made up his mind:

In your first battle, you will win!

Under his stricter orders each time, the Sugawara brigade accelerated the pursuit, and the originally orderly formation of the team was gradually dispersed

And this is exactly what Ouyang Yu in "Defeated and Escaped" has to do.

Now, a big net to defeat a Japanese brigade has been opened.

When Wang Weiyi proposed this plan before, all the officers could not imagine that the major would have to use less than 800 men to defeat a complete brigade of the Japanese army!

It's simply impossible to do.

But Wang Weiyi firmly told them:

"It is true that the Japanese army outfought the vast majority of our troops, but they were not invulnerable. There are also officers among them who are not suitable for this position, and our task is to seize this infrequent opportunity to deal the heaviest blow to the Japanese army! ”

When he said this, the officers suddenly became full of confidence at the beginning of their lives.

Everywhere there is war, everywhere there is bloodshed, since the major has arranged everything so confidently, let's fight hard!

Either die, or it's really the same as the major said:

Less than eight hundred men crushed a brigade of the Japanese army!

Now, the show has begun

"Report, the Japanese Sugawara Brigade is all dispatched, and in our assault, there is only one squad!"

"Only one squad? Did the Japanese really look down on me to such an extent? A confident smile appeared on the corner of Wang Weiyi's mouth: "Order all teams to attack, and the battle must end within two hours!" We must not allow reinforcements from the Japanese army to come up! ”

"Yes, end the battle in two hours!"

All tanks and trucks have been prepared. All the bullets are loaded! The soldiers were waiting for the final order.

It's going to be a task that seemed impossible before, but it had to be done.

For Songjiang, for Shanghai, for this country.

And Wang Weiyi knows even more, this is: for Nanjing!

He took a deep breath and said word for word, "Start!" (To be continued.) )
