The equipment of the Japanese army is no better than that of the Soviet Union, and its logistical supplies are also much worse. Of course, Xia Yang was also responsible for this. He destroyed the Japanese army's logistics supply warehouse in Hailar twice in a row, so that the main Japanese troops fighting on the front line had to tighten their belts.
??The shells that originally hit two base numbers can now only hit one base number, or even half a base number. There used to be a big bowl of rice in one meal, but now there is only half a bowl left.
But despite this, they still relied on their superhuman tenacity and the excellent combat capabilities of the lower-level soldiers to compete with the Soviets on the grassland to a 50-50 draw.
But there is no way this situation can last too long. Because at this time, the Japanese army continued to fight for a long time, and its logistical supply problems began to become more and more obvious.
It is precisely because of this that at this time, Komatsubara Michutaro had summoned the main commanders of the Japanese army, intending to concentrate enough power to launch a decisive attack.
The purpose of this attack is to break the current deadlock and break through the Soviet defense line at this time.
This is their last big gamble, and it is also the only way to solve the current situation. Because Michutaro Komatsubara and other senior Japanese commanders have realized that if they continue to consume the Soviets like this, they may not even be qualified to fight the Soviets in the end.
Because the Soviets seem to have endless ammunition, but the ammunition they can use is getting less and less. Especially in the past few days, the ammunition depot in Hailar, which was supposed to be replenished for them, was once again occupied by Xia Yang, which made the Japanese army even worse at this time.
"According to our intelligence, the Soviets seem to be stabilizing their defenses now and have no plans to continue attacking us." The speaker was Seishiro Itagaki. The fifth division led by him can be said to be the best on the entire front. of troops.
¡°If they weren¡¯t threatening from the flanks, Zhukov would have transferred the armored divisions from the flanks to directly break through the Japanese front.
It now seems that when Komatsubara Michutaro moved the Fifth Division to the flank, it actually played an unexpected role and successfully contained the Soviets' frontal attack, making them afraid even if they achieved certain results. Take the plunge.
Because the Japanese Fifth Division on the flank is likely to cut off their retreat, there is a danger of being divided and annihilated there.
Michutaro Komatsubara glanced at Itagaki Seishiro, who had the most practical combat experience, and then said: "Itagaki-kun, do you have any advice?"
Through this period of fighting, Itagaki Seishiro also knew that the level of the division commanders on the entire battlefield at this time was really average. Especially in this kind of large army operations, there are many mistakes.
At this time, Michutaro Komatsubara said these words, which made Seishiro Itagaki realize that the commander-in-chief was now planning to give him the right to speak.
So he took a deep breath and said: "I suggest that this time we should not use the front as a breakthrough point again, but use the flanks of our fifth division to break through. The enemy has stationed a motorized infantry division and an armored division here. , a total of more than 20,000 people. Although they were unable to launch an attack, they relied on fortifications to block the attack of our fifth division.
¡°If your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, can mobilize the heavy artillery regiment, the tank brigade, the 108th Division, and the 18th Division to participate in the flank attack, we will definitely be able to break through the enemy¡¯s defense line on the flank. "
"We have concentrated all our troops on the flanks. What will happen to our front? Are we going to leave a disabled 109th Division and the also disabled 1st Independent Mixed Brigade to guard it?" The speaker was the 109th Division. The division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, had already suffered a quarter of his troops' casualties at this time. The Soviets' frontal attack was too fierce.
"If the 108th Division and the 18th Division on the front are moved to the flanks, then once the Soviets on the opposite side attack again, the strength of one of their divisions will be completely unable to withstand it.
Itagaki Seishiro cast his gaze on Yamaoka Shigehou's face and said: "Your Majesty Yamaoka Shigehou, are you so unsure of yourself? You just need to hold them back. The focus of our attack is on the flanks."
Yamaoka Shigehou still wanted to speak, but Komatsubara Michutaro waved his hand and said: "Itagaki-kun, please continue."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "Okay, what I mean is that the 109th Division will take the initiative to launch a violent attack in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. The main purpose of this attack is to confuse the Soviets. By then, other divisions will also Support can be provided. The attack must be fierce enough to give the Soviets the illusion that we are going to fight them to the death.
However, the Soviets have strong troops and good equipment on the front, so your attack will be in vain.
After the attack ended, the 108th Division and the 18th Division on the front immediately moved to the flanks at night. An attack on the flanking Soviet positions was carried out at night. This can maximize surprise and catch the Soviets by surprise.
Once their flanks were breached, the armored troops quickly moved towards Tamtsag Prague, and the cavalry regiment also followed up as quickly as possible. Take away the enemy's headquarters directly without giving them any chance to breathe. "
¡°Take away their headquarters, and then take advantage of the fact that the Soviet command is in chaos, then encircle the Soviet forces on the front, and then fight a beautiful battle of annihilation?¡± Michutaro Komatsubara said.
Itagaki Seishiro said: "Yes, even if we cannot remove the enemy's headquarters in Tamtsag Prague, we can break the current deadlock and make the Soviet army in front of us be attacked from both sides."
"What if we can't defeat Tamtsagbula?" Yamaoka asked. He absolutely does not support Itagaki Seishiro's plan.
Itagaki Seishiro said confidently: "It's impossible, we can definitely defeat it. I have sent a large number of scouts. At this time, the Soviet troops in Tamtsag Prague are less than 3,000. They will kill too many Troops were deployed to the frontal battlefield, and it would take at least a day for the Soviet armored divisions on the frontal battlefield to support them to reach Tamtsag Prague.
