    We lost a regiment on the first day of the war, how can we still fight this battle?

    The most important thing is that the casualties were so heavy that even the outer positions of the army were not captured. It was obvious that they had encountered a tough situation. If the fight continued like this, I am afraid that even if all the troops on the front line were killed or injured, they might not be able to capture it.  The garrison position in front of you.

    The atmosphere in the headquarters was a bit heavy. Such a huge loss made everyone in the headquarters speechless. For a while, no one knew what to say.

    After a long time, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro said again: "Garrison, half an hour ago Lieutenant General Takahashi, commander of the Aviation Corps, called. In order to support our operations today, the Aviation Corps was shot down 8 fighter planes by that person. In addition, there were  Six fighter planes were injured and an entire aviation group was delisted."

    Higuchi Kiichiro then continued: "In addition, our unit also lost 13 tanks during the day's battle. Adding the previous losses, our unit only has three tanks left that can still fight."

    "At the same time, the artillery losses were also very heavy. Almost all the mountain artillery and field artillery in the artillery regiment were destroyed. The direct-fire artillery also suffered heavy losses. The grenade unit was almost completely wiped out. We no longer have any weapons to attack the enemy."

    Hearing Higuchi Kiichiro¡¯s words, all the Japanese officers took another breath!

    Shocked, these Japanese officers not only had a question: when did the army become so powerful and capable of dealing with the aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Army? Fighting a tank was as easy as taking apart a toy. Is it a chicken blood or a toy?  Taking stimulants?

    However, they all participated in and watched the battle during the day. To be honest, in addition to being equipped with an advanced anti-aircraft machine gun, the Chinese army on the opposite side also had stronger artillery than other Chinese armies.  It seems like nothing!

    Why are their fighting power so powerful, and why the imperial army is so passive!

    Seeing everyone's silence, Higuchi Kiichiro said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, although the war is not going well, don't be discouraged. Although the enemy's combat effectiveness exceeds our estimates, we are the elite of the Japanese Empire and the emperor."  With the sharp sword in your Majesty¡¯s hand, no matter how powerful the enemy standing in front of us is, we will kill it!¡±

    At this time, Major General Katayama Riichiro suddenly stood up and said to Higuchi Kiichiro: "Your Excellency, division commander, please forgive me for the offence. Your ministry is right. The army in front of you is indeed extraordinary!"

    Higuchi Kiichiro knew that Katayama Riichiro was apologizing for the previous dispute with Yamazaki, but after all, he was a major general brigade commander, and Yamazaki was just a colonel captain, so Katayama Riichiro did not apologize to Yamazaki, but  Talking to him directly was also to save the last bit of face.

    In view of this, Higuchi Kiichiro immediately said: "Hey, Katayama-kun, don't take it to heart, everyone is working for His Majesty the Emperor. No matter how we argue, the original intention is good! You should think about what to do next!  "

    At this time, Major General Katayama Riichiro suddenly said: "The division commander is right, we have to look forward. The most important thing right now is to capture the garrison position in front of us and capture Mengcheng."

    Colonel Muto, who was seriously injured, struggled to stand up and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, colleagues, we fought bloody battles with the Chinese people all day long. Although we failed to take down the Chinese people's positions and were seriously injured, our humble duties have  I have some experience!¡±

    "Oh, what do you think, Yuhara-kun?" Higuchi Kiichiro asked hurriedly.

    "Your Excellency, my unit has fought against the army on the opposite side. I feel that the actual combat effectiveness of the other side is not as strong as we imagined. Many of them are still very unfamiliar with their tactical cooperation. They are obviously new recruits who have just been recruited.  , both in terms of fighting will and personal qualities, they are far inferior to the elites of our Third Division."

    Then Colonel Muto continued: "The reason why the enemy caused such heavy casualties to the Imperial Army is entirely because their weapons and equipment are stronger than those of the Imperial Army, especially in terms of automatic firepower. The enemy is far superior to the Imperial Army."  Disposition of Field Forces.¡±

    "Everyone has seen today's battle. Our grenade troops destroyed a batch of the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, and the opponent's position will soon be replenished. From the beginning of the battle in the morning until our troops were unable to attack, we could not  According to complete statistics, at least 80 light and heavy machine guns were destroyed on the defender's side. But even so, the opponent's automatic firepower was still surprisingly large."

    "The front line of defense is not very wide. The opponent has a light machine gun almost every ten meters, and a heavy machine gun fire point every thirty meters. The firepower is so powerful that even the first-class division of the Imperial Japanese Army can't  Far worse! IfIf the Imperial Army continued its frontal attack, even if all its troops were deployed, it would be unlikely to capture the opponent's position.  "

    "What's more, judging from the current situation, even if we capture the opponent's position, what will happen? The imperial army has now suffered more than 3,000 casualties. If we continue to fight, even if we capture the opponent's position, the losses will be huge.  We can't attack."

    Hearing Colonel Muto¡¯s analysis, everyone nodded subconsciously. It was very accurate and very clear!

    "Muto-kun, although what you said makes sense, we have received a death order!"

    Then Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro continued: "Now the base camp intends to encircle and annihilate the main force of the fifth theater in the Xuzhou area. The key lies in whether we can capture Mengcheng and cut off the retreat of the army. In addition to  There is no other way to attack!¡±

    Colonel Muto nodded and said: "I understand this, so I feel that a strong attack has no meaning for our department. The current plan must be to adjust tactics and find another way!"

    "How to find another way?" Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro asked.

    "Avoid the enemy's firepower point and detour to the rear of Shuangjian Town! At the same time, request the front army headquarters to coordinate the aviation regiment to increase the scale of the air strike. You must know that tens of thousands of soldiers of the enemy are gathered in such a small place as Shuangjian Town.  In the area, the troops are relatively concentrated. Once the imperial army uses a large number of bombers, they will definitely be able to severely damage the enemy!"

    As soon as Colonel Muto finished speaking, Higuchi Kiichiro nodded and said: "Hey, Muto-kun's suggestion is very good! In addition, as far as I know, part of Li Guoyao's main force is still in Huainan, and Inaba-kun's sixth division has already  Once we reach the outskirts of Hefei, we can capture Hefei in a day or two at most. And Mr. Fujita's third division is also on its way to reinforce Shuangjian Town. We can completely divert these two armies to besiege Huainan. By then, Li Guoyao  The troops must have no intention of fighting, and with a multi-pronged approach, they will definitely be able to capture Shuangjian Town!"

    "The division commander is wise!"

    Then Higuchi Kiichiro continued: "That being the case, then this matter is settled. From tomorrow on, only one brigade of troops will be left in front of the imperial army to contain the enemy. The main force will detour to the rear of Shuangjian Town and attack the support/that  On the rear flank of the defenders, specific actions will be directed by Katayama-kun."

    "Hai!"

    "In addition, I will personally coordinate the front army and the aviation arm, and strive to send a flying wing from the aviation regiment to coordinate operations tomorrow! Okay, everyone has been tired for a day, so let's disperse. The success or failure will depend on tomorrow!  "

    "Hai!"
