Chapter 1356: A Desperate Choice
Looking at the frustrated expressions on the faces of several brigade commanders, Tang Qiuli smiled secretly in his heart, and said deliberately sternly: "Since you know that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty and do not carry out the battle deployment of the command headquarters well, why did they leave the troops and come to me to propose such a proposal?" Is there a suspicion of violating military regulations? ”
Several brigade commanders of the Marine Corps were dumbfounded at the time, the division commander was on the upper platform, could it be that there was a lack of staff officers around him? Liu Da Voice, who is directly under the Corps, and Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang of the Air Force, but they have just stepped down, do you have to get a few of our brothers to be staff officers?
If this is the case, let alone turning over the battle, even if you participate in the battle, you don't have your own share, you honestly stay by the side of the division commander, listen to the sound of guns, and watch others rush to the battlefield, which 20-year-old second lieutenant Liu Staff Officer will be led, then you will not be suffocated to death? Thinking like this, the sweat on his face came down. 〗
It's no wonder that these brigade commanders are afraid, after Liu Cuigang's lingering exaggeration, Liu Xinlan's little devil image has penetrated into the hearts of several brigade commanders of the Marine Corps
Tang Qiuli looked at the changing faces of several brigade commanders, and his stomach was already happy, and he said with a straight face: "I guess, you don't have such courage, the roots are still with Han Tie, are you under the command of Han Tie?" It seems that there are still a few naval staff officers around me."
Several brigade commanders were taken aback, the division commander was ruthless enough, this is to wipe out the entire Marine Corps, it doesn't count to get a few brigade commanders as staff officers, but also to get the commander, and hurriedly denied it: "Division commander, you have wronged our Commander Han, this matter has nothing to do with our Commander Han, so we will hide from him and come to you."
Tang Qiu left a selenium and said, "It's okay, it's quite righteous and knows how to protect the boss, okay, I'll call to confirm," he said, picking up the phone next to him, "I'm the commander of the third brigade of the Marine Corps, please take Commander Han Tie's urgent report" Several brigade commanders closed their eyes, and the division commander was making a strategy
Han Tie was sitting in the headquarters, waiting for the good news, the communications staff officer turned around and said: "Commander, the commander of the third brigade is looking for you" Han Tie was overjoyed, these guys are very smart, they know to report the good news first, and said: "Take it" grabbed the phone and asked loudly: "How is it, has you got the division commander?" Did you get the task? ”
Tang Qiuli said in a cold voice: "Han Tie is me, you come to the headquarters immediately and pick up a few of your subordinates, and in addition, you explain your work to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan," After speaking, without waiting for Han Tie to react, the "click" phone hung up
Han Tie's smug smile was frozen on his face at that time, and after reacting, he grinned and smiled bitterly, yes, the task was not grabbed, looking at this posture, he might have taken it in this time, the face of the Marine Corps was embarrassed, and he called over to the chief of staff Wang Dongshan to explain the work, and it just so happened that Liu Cui just came in
Seeing this, he asked strangely, "Old Han, are you going to go far away?" It's about to start, your life is really bad" Han Tie smiled bitterly and told the matter again, Liu Cuigang laughed, and said gloatingly: "Tiezi, you will ask for more blessings, in this way, the hearts of me and Yiqin are also balanced, by the way, don't be assigned to Liu Xinlan's little girl's subordinates, otherwise, you will suffer"
Han Tie drove to the headquarters anxiously, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw several of his subordinates, standing there with their heads drooping, and the division commander was busy reading the telegram in his hand, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie, I have been ordered to come, and I have finished handing over the work with the chief of staff, please give instructions to the division commander."
Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Han Tie, don't remind me in such a loud voice, it just so happens that the main commanders of the Marine Corps are here, and there are some things that I want to tell you face to face," Han Tie and a few subordinates followed Tang Qiuli to another tent
Tang Qiu said solemnly: "I know, you marines want to fight a beautiful turnaround battle, this is understandable, are they all soldiers, it is good to have a sense of honor, but your current situation is very abnormal, eager to achieve success, eager to avenge an arrow, eager to save face, such an impatient mentality is not suitable for the task of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army alone."
"I also know that you have a way to deal with the tactics of the Japanese army, and you have made full psychological preparations, but if your mentality determines your actions, and your impatience is brought into command operations, you will inevitably lose your correct judgment and calm thinking, not to mention, with more than 80,000 marines going forward, given the geographical conditions of Hainan Island, the density of your troops is far from enough, will you repeat the mistakes of the past? Give the Japanese army a chance? ”
After the division commander's words, they listened to the ears of Han Tie and several brigade commanders, like Huang Zhong Dalu, let them wake up, bow their heads in shame, and in all fairness, the commanders of the Marine Corps want to fight this battle alone too much, and they have the psychology of saving face and being in a hurry, and the words of the division commander are not without purpose
Tang Qiuli continued: "This is our last battle around the Indochina Peninsula, I don't want to cause a large number of casualties among the soldiers because of the mistakes of our commanders, I still say the same thing, we, as commanders, have no right to pay for our mistakes with the lives of the soldiers, go back, I will consider your request if necessary, I will give the Marine Corps a chance."
Looking at the back of Han Tie and several brigade commanders leaving, Tang Qiuli's gaze was a little complicated, since the ** division troops entered Burma, several major battles, first completely annihilated the remnants of Shouichi in the temple, and then defeated Ito Yanzaburo's Southeast Asian dispatch army, almost swept the Indochina Peninsula, one victory after another, which inevitably grew the pride of the unit commander
In the second phase of the Hainan Island Campaign, the brigade commanders, when talking about the Japanese army under Miyazawa, were all contemptuous, what kind of little devils' hundreds of thousands of troops, all of them were beaten by us to lose their armor and wolves, just these more than 30,000 little devils, not even a piece of meat, at most a piece of meat skin, and so many troops, it was not enough to stuff the teeth, and the division commander was really, with an order, surrounded and completely annihilated Dorisso, why bother with this effort?
Tang Qiuli did not want the senior commanders, because such a mentality would cause undue losses to the troops in the future battles, and he always reminded the commanders at all levels not to despise their enemies at any time, otherwise, they would suffer a big loss
Just now, when criticizing the commanders of the Marine Corps, there were brigade commanders from other units, who came to the headquarters to probe their brains, no need to ask, the purpose was the same, they wanted to complete the task of annihilating the Japanese army under Miyazawa alone, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they didn't dare to bring it up
In the more than 10 days after the fight, no one dared to come to the headquarters and ask to complete the combat mission alone, and the three-way troops, in accordance with the established plan, steadily advanced to the southern part of Hainan Island, and the minefields laid by the Japanese army did not affect the advance of the troops, but gave the engineering units of the ** division an opportunity to exercise in actual combat
By the end of January, the troops of Changjiang, Qiongzhong, and Wanning, in the face of the huge pressure of the ** division, the Japanese commander Miyazawa, was also looking for a way to crack it
By the beginning of February, more than 400,000 troops of the ** Division, after more than ten days of steady advance, had completed the encirclement of the Japanese army under Miyazawa, among them, the Left Route Army occupied Sanya on February 2, and the Right Route Army joined the Left Route Army in Sanya on February 3, and then, the two route troops turned around and marched north, encircling the Japanese army in the Wuzhi Mountains
A huge encirclement has been formed, and in the following days, the troops of the first division continued to shrink the encirclement, squeezing the living space of the Japanese army step by step, and finally compressed more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers in a narrow area of only a few tens of kilometers in the Wuzhi Mountains, but at this moment, the division commander Tang Qiuli suddenly ordered, "The troops stopped advancing, camped in place, and adopted a posture of encirclement but not attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement"
The commanders at all levels of the ** division, whose morale was like a rainbow, did not understand the intention of the division commander, and Tang Qiuli did not explain it to them, but only gave an order, "All units closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and if they find that the Japanese army is trying to break through, they must be killed within a range of 200 meters, and all units are not allowed to use close combat"
** Commanders at all levels of the division did not understand the intention of the division commander, but Lieutenant General Miyazawa Nishikawa, commander of the Hainan Island Garrison Division of the Japanese Army, deeply realized the power of this hand
Besiege but not attack, several times their own troops pressed over, the pressure on the soldiers of the imperial army cannot be described in words, the morale of the troops, has been extremely low, Miyazawa tried to use the spirit of bushido, paralyzed the soldiers, adopted the means of suicide attacks, and approached the soldiers of the ** division, but because Tang Qiuli had already taken precautions, he did not wait to get closer, and became a live target
Faced with a desperate situation, Miyazawa was forced to make a choice and sent a representative to surrender to the ** division, at this time, Tang Qiuli was reading Tang Qiusheng's telegram from Yangon, and Ito, who was cowering in California, sent a personal representative and asked for negotiations
Before Tang Qiuli could digest the telegram, a staff officer came in, "Report to the division commander, I received a call from the forward troops, and the Japanese troops in the encirclement have sent representatives to contact our army about surrender."
Tang Qiuli was surprised, what kind of good day was it? Ito in Gapo wants to negotiate, Miyazawa in the encirclement wants to surrender, do the Japanese have to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to do anything? interesting
