On September 9, the 31st, 49th, and 53rd Divisions of the Japanese Army launched a total of eight attacks on the positions of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, every attack ended in failure. They didn't achieve anything other than leaving corpses on the battlefield.

Of course, the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, although it defeated the Japanese attack, inflicted huge casualties on the Japanese army. Even, the casualties paid by the side are very small. However, they spent a lot of weapons and ammunition. Fortunately, before the outbreak of the fighting, the Americans provided a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Otherwise, I really can't hold on.

Even so, the baggage brigade is constantly trying to transport the weapons and ammunition stored in Morey to the front line.

When the sun went down, the Japanese finally stopped their attack. The gunfire has stopped. However, the smell of gunpowder smoke remaining in the air, as well as the thick smell of blood, all indicated what a fierce battle they had just experienced.

The Provisional Headquarters of the Japanese Burmese Front, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki, Lieutenant General Kotoku Sato, Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara, Lieutenant General Masaro Baba and Major General Takery Isomura, gathered together. It's just that their faces are very ugly. Not because of anything else, but because of the daytime battles. The losses of the Japanese army were simply too great. It's so big that they can't accept it.

"Your Excellency, the battle damage has been counted. The three divisions of the Chinese who participated in the attack lost a total of more than 12,000 men. Of these, more than 8,000 were killed, more than 1,000 were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded. Major General Takery Isomura reported.

The reason why there are so many casualties is relatively small. Quite because of the main losses of the Japanese army, almost all of them were killed by shelling. Once hit by a shell, very few will survive.

After hearing this casualty figure, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigesei's face couldn't help but darken a little more.

"Yaga! Lost so many troops in one day? If we continue like this, in a few days, our troops will not all have to be lost! Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki scolded.

Although, he led three divisions with a total of more than fifty-five thousand people. However, excluding the artillery, baggage, engineers, communications troops, and those soldiers in the headquarters, there are only nine wings that can really fight on the front line. But unfortunately, in today's battle, the first three wings were almost disabled. The three wings that were replaced later also suffered heavy losses.

"Your Excellency, the firepower of the Chinese is too strong, and we can't fight like this anymore. With the support of the Americans, they did not worry about weapons and ammunition at all. And our warriors are fighting with the people of China with their own flesh and blood. That's just so unfair to us. Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara gave his opinion.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Lieutenant General Aoki's eyes, and he thought that Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara was opposing him. However, at this juncture, they can no longer have internal contradictions. Otherwise, this will be an even greater blow to the Japanese army.

"Takehara-kun, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Excellency, the attack of our other three troops has not been smooth either. And even at a disadvantage. This puts us at a disadvantage in this battle. If the rest of our forces collapse, the consequences will be even more dire. So, I suggest that it is possible to shrink the troops, clench the scattered troops into a fist, and then fight the Shina people? ”

"No, it won't work. Our main forces faced an infantry division and a heavy artillery brigade of the Chinese people, and they were not able to bargain for anything. If we gather our troops, the Chinese can also gather our forces. When the time comes, we will still not have the upper hand. There is even a possibility that this battle will drag on for a longer time. The longer it drags on, the worse it becomes for us. As soon as Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara's opinion came out, it was refuted. Lieutenant General Kotoku Sato, who thinks that this will not work at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I do think that we have suffered a lot today. However, it is not without a chance to defeat the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Masaro Baba said suddenly.

"Baba-kun? Do you have a way to defeat the Chinese people? Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki immediately asked.

"Your Excellency, the strength of the people of China is entirely based on firepower. If we can avoid this, it shouldn't be very difficult for us to defeat them. ”

"Avoid? You mean to start a night war? "Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki is not a fool. As soon as Masaro Baba finished speaking, he knew what the other party meant.

"Yes, wage a night war. That's the only way we can do it. At night, the fighters of the Chinese could not take off for battle. Their powerful artillery fire will also lose accuracy, and the threat to us will be greatly reduced. Other machine gun firepower will also be greatly affected. Even if we lose a lot during the day. But we still have a great advantage in terms of troops. If the superiority of troops can be brought into play, it is not impossible to defeat the Shina people. As long as the night battle can defeat the Chinese and destroy them. We will be able to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory. Lieutenant General Masaro Baba said with great certainty.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This is an idea. Ladies and gentlemen, night fighting has always been a tactic that the warriors of the Great Day* Empire are good at. The white-knuckle battle was even more defeated. If we had fought at night, we would have been able to defeat the people of China easily. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander."

The other generals also fully agreed with this suggestion. They all knew that this might be their last resort. If neither the night battle nor the white-knuckle battle can defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, then they have no chance of winning this battle. But will they lose the night battle? All the Japanese generals did not think so.

Immediately after dark, the Japanese began to prepare for an attack. In order to ensure the defeat of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the night battle, the Japanese army invested the 131st Wing, the 168th Wing and the 151st Wing. None of the three wings took part in the daytime battles and remained at full strength. The combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

By throwing the three well-preserved wings into battle, it can be seen that Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki intends to take all his chances.

At the same time, several other damaged wings acted as reserves. If the attack doesn't go well, they will attack.

Of course, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki confidently believes that the reserves are simply not needed. Three wings were enough to defeat the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in a night battle. (To be continued.) )
