Section 259 Comeback

It was not until this moment that Tian Dazhuang could see clearly the dress and rank of the young man in front of him, this young officer, who was only twenty-three or four years old, was actually a major general, which made him almost unable to believe his eyes, such a young major general officer, he didn't say that he saw it, or even heard of it, but at this moment, it appeared in front of him so suddenly, which really caught him off guard.

At this time, an officer on the side, who was a little younger and older, but also had the rank of lieutenant colonel, asked a little impatiently, "Who are you?" Why not speak? ”

Tian Dazhuang reacted immediately when he yelled at him, and hurriedly retreated himself and a group of brothers from Shimen here, and then heard the news of the devil's attack, he and these brothers were ready to stay and fight to the death, and said it about the death of Mingzhi. Finally, he explained that his brother was still in the rear position, and implored the two commanders in front of him to fulfill their last wishes.

After hearing this, Shi couldn't help but be greatly moved, and he naturally understood Cheng Chong's worries in a blink of an eye. At the same time, he also recognized the determination of the officer in front of him to really want to die. This swept away his original fears about the war situation, and judging from his performance, the Nationalist troops were not as bad as they had originally thought. At the very least, these officers and soldiers are the same as them, they also have the same patriotic heart and dare to fight for their lives with devils. The reason why they lost the battle was not that these soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, but that the problem was above.

This situation is far more serious than the problem below, if the soldiers in the army are afraid of fighting and thus lose the war, then there is really no good way, after all, after so many years of fighting, it is already a very difficult thing to change the soldiers. And it is not easy to inspire the will to fight of these soldiers in their current situation. But if the problem is as high as the one now, although it is not easy to adjust, there is still room for adjustment. Just like the first two battles of Changsha, the commander of the Ninth Theater defeated the Japanese army in one fell swoop after revising the battle plan in just a few months, as if he had changed his troops.

"Tian Lianfu, you really don't want to go to Cili to join the withdrawn troops?" The stone was relieved, and couldn't help but ask.

Tian Dazhuang smiled bitterly: "Sir, the 5th Division has been defeated, even if we go back, the formation of the various departments will be completely dispersed, and it is impossible to rebuild the troops without a few years." Rather than live like this, it is better to stay here and die in battle, and the dead Pao Ze brothers on Huangquan Road can also be regarded as a companion. ”

Shi Shi nodded, and then said: "Since Tian Lianfu and your brothers have the determination to go to the disaster generously, it is better to stay in our independent regiment for the time being and listen to my command, and when the time comes, you will charge into battle with me and the brothers of the independent regiment, and keep it so that you brothers can vent the evil anger in their chests." ”

Tian Dazhuang was stunned when he heard this, this matter was obviously different from what he thought before, they just wanted to borrow some weapons to fight with the devils before, but now they want to stay in the independent regiment, so how much difference is there from returning to Cili?

Just when he was silent and hesitating, Liu Wenfeng on the side said impatiently: "What? Dislike us? Afraid that we will slip away when we see devils like other troops? Can't get revenge? ”

Tian Dazhuang immediately exclaimed: "My subordinates don't dare, it's just ......"

Liu Wenfeng waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Don't beat around the bush, what are you thinking, I know it clearly, to be honest, since our regiment commander is willing to let you stay, it can be regarded as your luck, not everyone in our independent regiment can come in." It's not me bragging, from the Battle of Songhu in the 26th year of the Republic of China to the present, we have fought more battles than any army, and the devils we have killed are also incomparable to any infantry regiment. Besides, if after a while, you really think that our group is not good, it is a big deal to leave again. ”

Hearing that this lieutenant colonel battalion commander has already said this, where will Tian Dazhuang have other thoughts? He immediately nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, the stone also nodded and said, "Madman, you can arrange to send someone to bring all the people they left behind to the mountain, and temporarily serve as my guard platoon, and when the battle here is over, we will consider where to place them after we have time." ”

Just when Shi was busy arranging Tian Dazhuang and others, the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army also rushed to the forefront of the position. After hearing the news that the forward troops were blocked, the 104th Wing, which was responsible for the forward army of the entire division, also reacted immediately, especially the troops of the first brigade, which rushed to the front of the third company's position after receiving the news. The 1st Squadron commanded by Haraguchigawa, which was already part of their forward army, was now in trouble, and of course the main force had to rush in for reinforcements.

Tatsuzo Tanaka is the captain of the 1st Brigade, he is very brave in battle, quite fond of white-knuckle fighting, in his words, only by killing the enemy in this kind of face-to-face combat can the enemy be completely defeated in both physical and psychological aspects. The so-called general is the courage of soldiers, and his style has also affected the entire brigade, making the troops under his command very tough.

This kind of toughness does not mean how strong the combat effectiveness of the first brigade is, but that they can fight tough battles and grit their teeth and persist in the most unfavorable situations until they finally survive the victory. This is also the reason why the entire First Brigade can stand out and play the forward army.

After rushing to the front line, Haraguchikawa immediately rushed to report the situation, although he had already sent someone to report the battle situation here in advance, but the specific combat situation, he, the squadron leader, was undoubtedly the most clear.

Seeing Haraguchigawa, who had always been arrogant and unruly, now drooping his head to report the battle situation, Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help but interrupt his report and frowned and reprimanded: "Haraguchi-kun, where is your courage?" Where is your blood? Where is your determination to dedicate your life to the Empire? ”

Haraguchigawa bowed his head and was silent, as if he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help but continue to say loudly: "Since the invasion of China, why have we been able to take more than half of China's territory in just over a year, and then stop in the following years, and even let China's troops continue to eat away at our troops? ”

"It is precisely because when the war situation is unfavorable and when the troops are lost, that commanders at all levels lose their usual determination to forge ahead and move forward. It was precisely because of the defeat that everyone's confidence was shaken and doubts about the great prospects of the empire were raised. Haraguchi-kun, it's not that you don't understand these truths, but that you yourself have been blinded by a momentary defeat. Tanaka rebuked.

"Hi" Haraguchigawa couldn't help but reply ashamedly, thinking of the words he had said to Aizu Kawada before, thinking of the ambition of the past and the loss of the present, he couldn't help but shudder, and he was deeply uneasy about his appearance at the moment. Immediately, he raised his head, looked directly at Tanaka Tatsuzo and said, "Your Excellency, I will lead my troops to fight another bloody battle with the enemy." ”

Seeing this change in him, Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help but be satisfied: "Very good, Haraguchi-kun, you have found yourself again." However, don't be in a hurry now, you can repeat the previous situation, we must first find the flaws in the enemy army, and then concentrate all our forces to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop with the power of thunder. ”

"Hi" Haraguchikawa replied again, and then carefully told the previous battle, in fact, there is nothing to say, the battle is very simple, and the battle lasts even more briefly, from the leader of the Nohara squad with his team to the front of the enemy position to the end of the battle, it is just a matter of the blink of an eye, and it is too late for them to even make a rescue operation.

After listening to Haraguchikawa's personal narration and hearing his description of the details of the battlefield, Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help frowning, obviously the situation in front of him made him feel very weird. Although the losses of a squad were heavy, it was not unacceptable to Tatsuzo Tanaka, after all, he had always admired hand-to-hand combat, and under this mode of combat, the losses of the troops were not small. However, according to Haraguchikawa, the loss of a squad was that it was not even clear which unit the enemy was facing in front of it, and it was not even known what kind of firepower the enemy had, which was really a bit surprising.

The only useful information that I know is that the marksmanship of the enemy troops is very accurate, and the psychological quality of the soldiers is excellent, and the troops who dare to put them close to a distance of twenty or thirty paces before firing are the first time they have encountered them in so many years of fighting. And such troops, like them, are apparently quite good at hand-to-hand combat, otherwise the enemy would not dare to risk putting them into position. You must know that when the Chinese army fights against them, it has always tried its utmost to avoid hand-to-hand combat with them, because after all, the gap between the quality of the soldiers and the weapons and equipment of the two armies is too great, and this kind of hand-to-hand combat will result in the annihilation of the entire army if one carelessness is the result of the annihilation of the whole army.

Thinking of this, Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help but have a headache, they usually fight, and they have always relied on the strength of the battle that is not afraid of death and hand-to-hand combat, and now this is precisely the strength of the enemy, and such a battle is difficult to fight. Fighting, exploiting the strong points and avoiding the weak points, and attacking the enemy's weak points is the best means and methods, but now that we have encountered extremely difficult troops, this battle will be difficult to fight.

However, Tatsuzo Tanaka is really a ruthless man, and after muttering for a while, he immediately said: "Immediately send the Okazaki squadron and the Nagaoka squadron to assemble, and I will personally command the troops to attack, I want to see if the people of China dare to fight like before this time." ”
