Xiaoshan County, Guards Division Division Headquarters.
The first staff meeting since Shojiro Iida took over as division commander ended in a warm atmosphere.
At this staff meeting, almost every officer expressed his opinion. They all believed that the reason why the 1st Cavalry Brigade was completely wiped out by the national army this time was mainly because they underestimated the enemy.
If the 1st Cavalry Brigade had not gone deep alone, there would never have been such a tragedy.
Taking a step back, even if the 1st Cavalry Brigade goes deep alone, if you can remain cautious and don't easily leave the defense fortifications in Tongshan Town to pursue the national army when it retreats, then there will be no way the entire army will be destroyed!
The final conclusion is that the 41st Group Army of the National Army is a powerful opponent and must not be underestimated!
Although they had just experienced a disastrous defeat when the 1st Cavalry Brigade was completely annihilated by the national army, the officers above the rank of major who participated in the staff meeting did not show too much disappointment or frustration.
Nothing else, because the Guards Division has a great cause, and a cavalry brigade is really nothing.
On the contrary, Commander Iida changed his previous style and began to respect the opinions of everyone. This is the most important thing. Therefore, there is reason to believe that the Guards Division will definitely learn from this tragic defeat and perform better from now on. It got better and better, and finally defeated the 41st Army of the Chinese Army on the battlefield, avenging its previous humiliation.
The officers participating in the meeting left the war room one by one.
Soon, only Shojiro Iida and Isamu Kinoshita were left in the war room.
Kinoshita Isamu glanced at Shojiro Iida and hesitated to speak.
Although Iida Shojiro's face did not show it, Kinoshita Isamu knew that he must be very worried in his heart. He was worried that the base camp or the 13th Army Headquarters would hold the 1st Cavalry Brigade responsible for the annihilation. If this was the case, It is not impossible that Shojiro Iida, the division commander, would be dismissed.
After all, this is a cavalry brigade, not a helmet. If it is lost, it is lost.
"Division commander" Kinoshita Yong endured for a long time and finally persuaded, "otherwise, we should send a telegram to the base camp to explain, right?"
"Explanation?" Shojiro Iida shook his head and said very calmly, "There is nothing to explain. This time the 1st Cavalry Brigade was completely wiped out. As the commander of the Guards Division, I bear an unshirkable responsibility. So no matter what decision is made by the base camp and the military headquarters, I will not have any complaints."
Kinoshita Yong sighed softly and stopped trying to persuade him.
So the two began to wait anxiously again.
After waiting for almost half a day, at noon, the telegram from the Thirteenth Army Headquarters finally arrived.
The main message of the telegram was that the 1st Cavalry Brigade was completely wiped out by the enemy due to errors in the combat guidelines drawn up by the headquarters, which gave the enemy an opportunity. Commander Okamura had made a profound review to the base camp. At the same time, Commander Okamura also hopes that the Guards Division can seriously review and learn from experience and lessons.
After reading the telegram, Iida Shojiro and Kinoshita Isamu looked at each other.
After a long while, Kinoshita Yucai said: "Division Commander, Commander, he"
"Kinoshita-kun, there is no need to say anything." Shojiro Iida waved his hands and said shamefully, "I am really ashamed. Compared to the broad-mindedness of the Commander, I am really too narrow-minded."
After a pause, Iida Shojiro continued: "While we are obsessed with killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds and making a name for ourselves, the Commander has long transcended the low-level pursuit of fame. In his eyes, there is no fame, not even fame." Li Lu, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t risk his reputation to take on this responsibility for me!¡±
"Sodais." Kinoshita Yongton said, "Your Excellency Commander's high moral integrity is indeed admirable."
"So, we should also learn from Your Excellency, Commander." Shojiro Iida took a deep breath and added, "Beyond low-level needs such as fame and fortune, we should only consider how to attack the enemy as much as possible and open up frontiers for the empire. Earth! Compared with the interests of the empire, personal achievements are not worth mentioning."
Kinoshita Yong said: "What does the division commander mean?"
Iida Shojiro said: "From now on, we will strictly implement every order of the headquarters without any compromise! Below me, if anyone disobeys orders, he will be severely punished!"
"Hai!" Kinoshita Isamu nodded heavily.
¡¡
Keqiao Town, the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Division.
After reading the briefing from the commander of the Thirteenth Army, Nakamura Akito, who had just been transferred to the division commander, could not help but sigh, with an undisguised look of disappointment on his face.
Chief of Staff Sakurada? said: "Why did the division commander sigh?"
Nakamura Akito shook his head and said: "How powerful Okamura Neji is. Once this telegram is sent, the Guards Division will no longer have its own way on the battlefield. If we want to move freely in the future, we will be under great pressure."
In this attack, the posture of the Japanese Thirteenth Army was still divided into three groups.
The Guards Division on the main road is responsible for the main attack, the 17th Division and the 22nd Division on the left are responsible for the flank attack, and the 5th Division and the 15th Division on the right are mainly responsible for two tasks. One is to guard the 10th Army in the direction of Yinjiang, and the other is to protect the right wing of the Guards Division.
The main responsibility of the Fifth Division is to guard the 10th Army.
Therefore, among the three Japanese armies, the right wing actually has the smallest degree of freedom.
The smallest degree of freedom means the least opportunities to make achievements.
This is obviously unacceptable to Akito Nakamura, who has just been transferred to the division commander of the Fifth Division and is eager to use his military exploits to demonstrate his abilities.
The Fifth Division is known as the Steel Army and is a heroic army.
Nakamura Akito was originally very reluctant to transfer to the division commander of the Fifth Division. If he could not establish meritorious service on the battlefield, he would not be able to defeat those opponents.
Therefore, before the expedition, Akito Nakamura had already made up his mind.
As soon as the battle officially begins, he must lead the fifth division to take the initiative and stay near Keqiao and Shaoxing counties, waiting for the national army to take the initiative to attack. This is by no means the style that the Steel Army should have.
But now, with the announcement from Okamura Neji, Nakamura Akito knows that it is difficult to realize his ambition.
Now that Shojiro Iida has received such a great favor from Neji Okamura, he will definitely act in strict accordance with the orders of the headquarters in the future. If they want to act on their own, they must consider the consequences.
With a sigh, Nakamura Akito added: "Sakurada-kun, please telegraph the Ninth Brigade to stop immediately after capturing Shaoxing County according to the original plan, and build fortifications on the spot and prepare to hold on! The 21st Brigade can only Advance to the vicinity of Quantang Town, and after advancing to Quantang Town, you are not allowed to advance even half a step forward!"
"Hai!" Sakurada Takeru nodded heavily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
