Chapter 744: The Dust Settles (Part 1)
The Japanese did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek, who had always had to make plans for whether it was appropriate to fight in China, would suddenly change his mind and take out all his wealth to fight with him in Wuhan. Now it is no longer a problem of attacking Changsha and Nanchang. However, after the Chinese army recovered Wuhan, the army pushed the railway transportation hubs of Xuzhou, Longhai, Jinhan, Pinghan and other railways all converged in the hinterland of China. This was a premeditated strategic counterattack. Such a counterattack was definitely caught off guard for the Japanese, especially after the Southern General Army won the battle in Southeast Asia, but under the premise that Myanmar and India fell a big fall, the Far East involved a large amount of troops and materials. At present, Japan has enough troops, but it cannot provide these troops to combat consumption. This is Japan's fatal weakness in strategy.
The Japanese strategy was all formulated by the staff of the General Staff. The Japanese General Staff was divided into the Navy and the Army, which were in charge of the military orders of the Navy and the Army respectively. As the strategy maker, the staff position was a very dazzling role within the Japanese army. Only generals and officers of the Japanese army were qualified to wear "belts", and the generals' ribbons were made of yellow three-stranded gold wire. The color of the staff was relatively light, and was woven from six-stranded six-stranded six-stranded
It was made of weaving. Among the 3,016 graduates who graduated from the Army University in Japanese history, only Tojo Hideki, the old man Tojo Hide Education Tanida Fumie, did not graduate from Lu Shi. After the second period, Lu Shi was not recruiting officers who were not Lu Shi. There was a decent system for promotion within the Japanese army. The second lieutenant was promoted to lieutenant, and lieutenant was promoted to captain for two years, while lieutenant had to be promoted to school officials for four years. It is common sense that if you have no position in the year, you will not be promoted.
However, as long as the years have passed, a graduate of the Mainland University must be promoted to the military rank. Generally, they can reach the position of a colonel in ten years. Whether they can be promoted to a general depends on luck and personal luck. However, when entering the General Staff Headquarters as a staff officer, they must graduate from the Mainland University, because only the graduates of the Mainland University can obtain a staff certificate and wear a staff belt, which symbolizes the honor of the elite among the Japanese army.
Anan Weiji scolded these so-called elites of the Japanese Empire. When the main force was trapped in the Chinese battlefield, he began to plan to advance south or north. As a result, he advanced north first and then south. The war between the two sides caused the Chinese army to seize the opportunity to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack, asking them for shells, and the one who told him that he had 100,000 urns was the mastermind of the strategy of the Japanese Empire, the master, the captain, the colonel, and these staff members who controlled the fate of Japan's nationality.
Fortunately, the Japanese military's staff system is mostly made of human and pigs, otherwise this battle would be much harder to fight. Especially this time, Jiangbei completely divided and surrounded the Japanese army. Since the 18th Division commanded by the Japanese army, Akira Mutaguchi and the 26th Division commanded by Kazuo Masaki suddenly broke into the battlefield, the battle situation in Jiangbei became more and more intense. The blood sacrifice of the mountains and rivers of the Anti-Japanese War 744
After the fierce battle on July 20, 1942, Ryo Mutaguchi and Ichio Masaki began to regret why they did not obey Anan Weiji's command at the beginning, because the entire army that was put into combat was divided and surrounded by the rapid offensive forces of the Chinese army and lost contact with each other. The entire city was like a field of fighting. Since they entered the venue, don't fantasize about being able to leave alive.
In a broken police station, Mudaguchi Ryokawa also met the commander of the 10th Division. Tokawa Jiro, who only had more than 30 people and seemed to flee. Mudaguchi Ryokawa was also extremely surprised and said, "What's wrong with you, Tokawa Jun? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Jiro Tokawa leaned against the wall with a look of fear and said, "After the big melee last night, I completely lost contact with my subordinates. I led the Wild Dog Team to try to find the troops, but the city was full of Chinese commandos. We encountered several enemy troops in a row. Captain Ichiro Ichiro died on the spot. I took over the command directly and retreated here. I am afraid that my 10th Division has been completely finished. Now it is impossible to concentrate its troops for effective counterattacks, and it is difficult to complete the blocking of the enemy. It is really unwise for you two divisions to enter the city to fight street battles. You should occupy the favorable terrain outside the city to set up a blocking line, so that the troops in the city will withdraw first for reorganization. Otherwise, if this continues, we will not see tomorrow's sun."
Jiro Tokawa said, the bell tower of the commanding height church less than 200 meters away from the police station collapsed in a violent explosion. Along with the church was buried inside, there were two Japanese officers and soldiers. Mudaguchi Ryokawa also stared at the smoke-filled ruins of the church in a daze. Such a solid building collapsed as soon as it collapsed?
Judging from the three consecutive hits of large-caliber shells, it must be direct aiming with large-caliber heavy artillery, otherwise there would be no such great destructive power. The Chinese army's tanks and heavy artillery were rampant. The Chinese army, which had an absolute advantage in military strength, was sieved and swept through like a sieve, consuming the weaknesses of the Japanese. The Chinese and Japanese could not afford the war. To this extent, it was basically equivalent to two beggars showing off their wealth. However, the Chinese soldiers dared to sacrifice and sacrifice. With the emergence of Gao Fei, a super prodigal son, the Japanese army's nightmare began.
There are many things that can be bought in this world, but there is no so-called regret medicine. Now Mudaguchi also regrets it, and Masaki Kazuo also regrets it. Now he regrets it so much that his intestines are green. The main force of the 18th Division is not the four infantry regiments of the two brigades that had more than 24,000 people in the four infantry regiments of the two brigades when they attacked Nanjing. Instead, it has been changed to a three-compliant division under the jurisdiction of the Southern Army. Mudaguchi's current infantry 55th Regiment, the 56th Regiment of the Infantry, and the 114th Regiment of the Infantry, and the 114th Regiment of the Infantry are still complete. Although there is less force in the regiment, it has been supplemented with a rapid-fire artillery brigade and an independent chariot brigade, and the technical troops are still strengthened.
However, since the day he was put into street fighting in Wuhan, the 18th Division has suffered a lot. First, it was bombarded by heavy artillery, and then the 18th Field Artillery Wing exposed its position when deploying the firepower support for the artillery, which caused the bombardment of the Sino-US Joint Air Force, and the 18th Field Artillery Wing suffered heavy losses.
