Chapter 6: Fighting (26)

Xu Ping asked the correspondent to invite Huang Tianhua and Jin Tongxuan to come to the meeting, and after the strategic policy was decided, the specific combat tactics must be carefully considered, and not any detail can be ignored, because war is not a simple game, and people will die. It is not difficult to consider a campaign or an action plan from a macro perspective, but the difficult thing is how to refine its details and implement the successful implementation of the vision.

Today, among the military talents recognized by Modi, another Jin Tongxuan has been added. Mo Di continued to bury his head in the map, the more he looked at this map, the more he loved it, and with a professional like Jin Tongxuan, the combat capability of the troops would be greatly improved unconsciously. Gong Qingyuan continued to sort out his information, and Xu Ping went out to tell the orderly, tonight, get a few good dishes, and it is best to have some wine. The enemy is far away, this place is quite safe, and I have made a lot of money in Bengbu, up and down, full of joy. The units in the command headquarters were even more relaxed, they did not go to Bengbu, they were quite curious about the miraculous battle of this legend, and several of Xu Ping's orderlies became the most popular people, in fact, they did not participate in the battle. There was no tension in the base before the war, there was only joy, and the happy people did not expect that their bosses had already set their eyes on Hefei in the south.

The guards came in to report that Chief of Staff Huang Tianhua and Adjutant Jin Tongxuan had arrived.

"I got the word that the Sakai detachment is not a large detachment, but a reduced detachment." Before he entered the door, he heard Jin Tongxuan's anxious voice, and it was obvious that this young man was trying to explain something.

"How is that possible?" Following Jin Tongxuan was Huang Tianhua who said, and from the intonation, it could be heard that Huang Tianhua didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Early this morning, Huang Tianhua came to the base of Wolf's Nest Mountain, and when he saw the map on the table for the first time, he fell in love with this map, and when he knew that the author of this map was also in Wolf's Den Mountain, he immediately wanted to find the person who drew the map, and when someone brought Jin Tongxuan to him, he exchanged views on some issues on the map, and the two hit it off at first sight and became friends.

Maybe the two of them have been discussing this issue for a while, and they haven't come to a conclusion yet, but when they heard Mo Di's invitation, they walked in while discussing, and Huang Tianhua still insisted on his opinion: "The so-called detachment of the Japanese army is a temporary force formed by adding some divisional and regiment-level units and independent wings on the basis of a brigade. The Seya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment that appeared on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and the Kunisaki Detachment and Fujita Detachment that appeared in the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai are all more than one brigade, how can a detachment be inferior to a brigade! ”

"It's true, it's my uncle who finally got the news from Hefei, and there will be no fake." Jin Tongxuan insisted.

"What's really fake?" Xu Ping asked.

"That's right!" Jin Tongxuan preemptively said: "Before, I received a telegram from my uncle in Chuzhou, saying that the Sakai detachment in Hefei is a small detachment, and the number of people is not as good as a brigade. There were still more than 3,000 people in the attack on Chaoxian, and they fought a battle with the Tenth Army of Xu Yuanquan's Department in Hefei, although they beat the Tenth Army away, they also suffered losses. After that, we sent an advance brigade of about 300 people to Bengbu, and we packed up most of them at the furnace bridge. According to accurate information, the current Sakai detachment has only more than 2,000 people, and at most no more than 2,005, which is not only inferior to a brigade, but even inferior to a fully staffed Japanese wing. ”

That's true! If it is a Class B division, that is, the so-called pack horse division, there are 13 people in a detachment, 54 people in a squadron, 180 people in a squadron, 900 people in a brigade, 3,000 people in a wing, 6,800 people in a brigade, and 21,000 people in a division. In the case of a first-class division, the so-called horse pulling division, a detachment is still 13 people, but the squad has increased to 70 people, a squadron 250 people, a brigade 1215 people, a wing 3870 people, a brigade 7700 people, and a division 27000 people. After the Battle of Songhu, the establishment of the Japanese army changed, especially some old first-class divisions, because the battle losses could not be fully replenished, there were changes in the number of people, and some divisions and regiments increased the tank wing, and some even increased the tank brigade, but the basic structure is still there. The 6th Division is an absolute first-class division, Tokutaro Sakai is the commander of the brigade of the dignified major general, and the 11th Brigade under his command is a large brigade with a number of up to 8,000 people, how can it be possible to lead a small force of less than 3,000 people, and the number is not as good as a wing of a pack horse division. There must be a ghost among them!

"If Tokutaro Sakai only led 3,000 people in Hefei, where did the others go?" Mo Di asked questions.

"Brigade Commander Mo, wait a while, I have already contacted my uncle and asked him to help me ask, his chamber of commerce is in Hefei, Nanjing, and Wuhu, and he will give us a clear message soon." Jin Tongxuan said.

Mo Di nodded and asked Huang Tianhua: "When will Chen Zhengxin and them be able to return?" ”

"They have already taken a boat to Tianjia'an today, they will stay in Tianjia'an tonight, and they will go to Luqiao tomorrow." Huang Tianhua replied: "I mean you don't have to let them come over, just camp in the furnace bridge, what do you think, boss?" ”

"Very well, I think, we will also go to the furnace bridge tomorrow." Mo Di said: "We have to confirm the number of Japanese troops in Hefei, if there are really only more than 2,000 people, the opportunity is rare, and we must take it." ”

"I'll go and urge my uncle again." Jin Tongxuan said, turned around and walked out.

Before he reached the door, he met a confidential person who came in with a telegram, handed it to Jin Tongxuan, and said: "Adjutant Jin, the super long telegram, the translation is killing me!" ”

"Thank you, great work!" Jin Tongxuan took the telegram and said, "I'll invite you to drink another day." ”

Unfolded the telegram, read it, and handed it to Gong Qingyuan, Gong Qingyuan glanced at it and said, "I guess everyone wants to know the content of the telegram, so why don't I read it." ”

Mo Di smiled: "Okay, you just shake your head." ”

Gong Qingyuan coughed, and really put on a set of old pedantic style, anyone who studied in a private school, many years of children's skills, has cultivated a set of inherent reading methods, it is difficult to change in his life, if he doesn't read, he will just be exposed. I only heard Gong Qingyuan shake his head and read: "Meet with Xuan's nephew: The matter inquired by Shicai has asked all localities to summarize the information, and the basic situation is as follows, the sixth division of the Japanese invaders now lives in Wuhu, because it has been killed too much in Nanjing before, it has become the target of public criticism, and it has kept a low profile for half a year, and has stopped at close and small-scale battles in the area of Xuancheng Huizhou in southern Anhui, and the division commander is Lieutenant General Shiro Inada. Under the jurisdiction of the second brigade, the commander of the 11th brigade is Katsuji Imamura, the former 11th brigade is under the jurisdiction of the people, and the commander of the 36th brigade is still Mitsuru Ushijima. The two brigades were neatly staffed, and they did not send troops to Hefei, and there were other people who went to Hefei. Due to international condemnation, the former commander of the Sixth Division, Tani Toshio, the commander of the 11th Brigade, Tokutaro Sakai, and more than 3,000 of his subordinates were listed as murderers and were rejected by the world. Toshio Tani has been repatriated to Japan, and Tokutaro Sakai has left his job. The so-called Sakai detachment was composed of Tokutaro Sakai and 3,000 murderous demons, and the Japanese Nanjing Front Headquarters claimed that these 3,000 people had been dismissed and were no longer his subordinates, and their actions had nothing to do with the front army. I won't read the rest of it, it's all about educating my nephew. ”

The public laughed, this is really not suitable for reading in public, otherwise, Jin Tongxuan's face will not be too good.

"Self-deception!" Soon, the smile on Mo Di's face changed, from a grin on his face to a somewhat hideous smile, and he smiled: "The Japanese released a group of demons, but it has nothing to do with them, this Sakai detachment turned out to be such a thing!" It's good, it's good, since my father doesn't love my mother, we cleaned it up. ”

"No wonder we felt a little different when we attacked at the Furnace Bridge, it turned out to be like this!" Xu Ping said thoughtfully.

"What's the difference?" Mo Di was very interested in this question, holding a pencil in his right hand and gently tapping the nail of his left hand with the tip of the pen.

"Slow, quite slow!" Xu Ping recalled: "Liu Qinglong fought 17 sneak attacks in one night, and the other party did not organize an effective counterattack, and now the answer has been found. ”

"I agree!" Gong Qingyuan took over the topic: "When we were cleaning up the advance brigade in the furnace bridge, Liu Qinglong carried out seventeen attacks, and the other party did not suffer much loss, Liu Qinglong was almost entangled by the other party in several sneak attacks and turned into a firefight with the other party, in the firefight, the opponent's accuracy and firepower were far above us, and Liu Qinglong was almost hit. However, the next day, they didn't have much to do with the tank trapped in the trap, especially after being shelled by Liang Yisheng, they immediately herded the sheep. I was still strange at the time, this Japanese army is different from the past, the tenacity is basically zero, I thought it was the night before I was harassed for a night, the Japanese army's physical strength was greatly reduced, and the combat power was greatly reduced, I didn't expect this to be the case, no wonder. ”

"These days, fighting in concert with the 31st Army, I heard from the staff of the 31st Army that the Sixth Division has indeed cleared out a group of people who are extremely angry with the people, these people in Nanjing to kill people for pleasure, to slaughter the people for entertainment, cut off their heads and breasts, cut out their hearts, and do all kinds of evil, many people have also been filmed and recorded. An American pastor named John Magee, who was a missionary in Nanning, was given a camera to record his daily work, and he was a friend of the Japanese before the Nanjing massacre last year. He once firmly believed that Japan was a modern and civilized country, and that the Japanese military should abide by international conventions and basic human moral standards. However, the Nanjing Massacre shattered his illusions. On December 16 last year, John Magee personally photographed Chinese women kneeling and begging Japanese soldiers not to kill their sons and husbands; Thousands of civilians were tied up with ropes and driven to the banks of the Yangtze River in Shimonoseki, numerous small ponds, and open fields, where they were subjected to Japanese machine-gun fire, bayonet slashing, rifle volleys, and even executions...... When tragedy strikes, he can't believe what he's seeing is real. He photographed everything he saw and put it into words to convey to the international community. At the same time, the message of the Japanese massacre in Nanjing was conveyed to the international community by Minnie Weitling, the acting president of Jinling Women's Liberal Arts and Science College, the security guard of the Jiangnan Cement Factory, and John Rabe, the chairman of the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone. The international community was shocked by the atrocities of the Japanese army, and people around the world unanimously condemned the Japanese army's extermination of humanity. Out of pressure from the international community, the Japanese army selected a number of people in the 6th Division as scapegoats for militarism. Huang Tianhua said: "According to the two of you, this group of Japanese soldiers is composed of some soldiers and ruffians with outstanding personal ability, and it turns out that these guys actually came here." In this team, there is no one who can intimidate them, not even Tokutaro Sakai, which is why he is so different. ”

"I don't care how outstanding their personal ability is, no matter how fierce and good they are, even if I wipe out our 526 Brigade, I will kill this group of inhuman dog thieves!" Speaking of this, Mo Di's right hand shook, and the pencil broke in two.

Several people in front of him were stunned, they had been with Mo Di for almost a year, they had never seen him move so much anger, and he really had a bit of a liver fire, his face was gloomy, so heavy that he was dripping, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, like a tiger and a wolf, which made people shudder.
